Dear Siblings

I have been sick as a DOG this weekend! Strep and taken over and kicked my butt. I'm finally starting to feel better, you know when you start to feel better enough to realize that your house as completely fallen apart while you have been out, yet you still don't have the energy to clean it?! Ya that's me today. So I have been trying to feel productive cause honestly I can not watch another minute of TV, and that says something. haha So I have been going through old pictures getting ready to start on baby books. I came across this picture! 

Dear Siblings,
         I don't know what it is, but I will never be able to look at this picture with a dry eye. Although not all of you are pictured in it, I see you all when I look at it. This picture sums up so many feelings I could never discribe. My life had fallen apart just a few weeks before this was taken, and you were all there for me like you always are. It's hard to explain to outsiders, but we have a very close family, freakishly close as Jeff likes to say. ;) When we need each other we are there! This was my first day home from the hospital with Paisley, and some would have wanted to jump into bed in a quite house. Not me, I was so excited to finally be around all of you. I sat on the couch and did nothing while I just enjoyed all of you smoothing my babies. I will never forget the phone call I had with each of you as I called to tell you that Paisley was ok, each conversation was perfect for our relationship. Lindsey you cried with me and then you said Amy I knew it would be ok, I love you! You were so strong during all of that, I needed you more than anything! Kelsey you cried and I cried I'm not sure many words were said, but with us most times we don't need words. We are in each others head. Austin you are TOUGH but when it comes to family you are a softy I thought you had heard me wrong you were crying so hard, but no, your heart it so big that is breaks even with the best of news. Tiffany, you were cheerful and positive as you always are and that is just what I love about you! Mason you are a man of few words, I'm pretty sure I actually just sent you a text haha I love our relationship and I refuse to let you be the little brother who gets left out cause he is too cool for his old married siblings :) your stuck with us!!
Seriously not sure where all these sappy feelings are coming from, but I just want you all to know that I wouldn't want it any other way. You are all my best friends!
Love,
The Emotional One

Rapunzel

Back in April my sister in law, arranged for a big group of us to go see Rapunzel at the Hale Theater in Gilbert. We had so much fun, Liberty was in heaven. She was a little confused at times, since it was a stage and now the movie screen. Every time they were in the tower scene she would say: Mom they are not in the tower they are on the ground right now :) 

It was so much and I'm glad Liberty enjoyed it so much. 

June 2012

Remember how I used to take 100's of pictures and blog all the time! I kinda miss that. I hate that blogs have died out, because this is my only journal and it makes me sad that I never write any more. Well this is me making blogs cool again!

Here is a wrap of our June and all of the 10 pictures I took that month! :(

We are almost a year down of the girls sharing a room. Things are defiantly tight with a bed and a crib in there but they LOVE it!! It's so fun to peak in on them during the day and see the fun they are having together. Reminds me of my childhood and sharing a room with 3 sisters.

Silly, Messy, GIRLS! 

Any time the stroller makes it in the house, it becomes Paisleys playground! 

My Little Pony

I'm not even sure I remember how this all started, but Liberty has been asking for a rocking horse forever! Jeff finally decided she needed one and set out to build it himself. He always made sure to include the girls while we was working. (He is so much better at doing that than I am) About half way through making it Liberty decided it was Rainbow dash and wanted to paint it to look just like Rainbow Dash. I was hesitant, but now I'm so glad we did. The girls LOVE their Rainbow Dash and I hope it's something that we keep forever and the grandkids come over one day to play on it. :) 

My 26th Birthday

I had a WONDERFUL birthday, I invited all the ladies of my family to join me for lunch at Joes Farm Grill and my mom was amazing and made it into a little party. It was so FUN! We went back and hung out at my Grandmas and had cake and ice cream. Wal Mart makes yummy cakes but they struggle with spelling :) 

That night Jeff and I went out on birthday date, we went to dinner and then shopping for new shoes and a new bike. Dinner was so fun, I had never been but Jeff talked about how good the food was and the fun atmosphire. He did not lie, it was amazing! 

Another Cabin Trip (April 2012)

Every time we go to the cabin I debate if I should bring my camera or not, I mean how many pictures do we need of us at the cabin. But every time I'm glad I brought it. Jeff, Mason and Craig made it their mission to make a bike trail by the cabin they spent almost the whole weekend clearning a path. They ended up with Posin Ivy all over, NOT FUN! 

The girls loved helping the boys outside, It was wonderful weather, it was hard not to be outside.

Another reason I'm glad I brought my camera, after 8+ years of going to the Williamson's Cabin I had a First. I don't know how but this was my first time up to the watch tower and it was amazing!! I told Jeff this is now a cabin must, I need to go every time. It was beautiful up there. They also had these amazing rock formations. I was in LOVE.

On the way home we pullled over to this fun look out, and again I was so glad I had my camera. Disclaimer: Paisley is not standing on an edge, although that is the look we were going for, Jeff deleted the next picture which was me popping my head up behind her.

I LOVE Masons and Craig's pictures haha

Fathers Day

AKA pick on mom day.
Fathers day was great and bad
We started our day off with making breakfast for daddy while he slept in
We made him his favorite, biscuts and gravy
Daddy ate and then rushed to get ready and get to meetings at church
I hurried and got the girls all ready for church, put a show on for the girls and ran to jump in the shower
As I got out of the shower I knew it was too quite
I went to check on the girls, just to find them playing with red lipstick
Oh boy!

I cleaned up that disater and and hurried to finish getting ready for church
After only running about 5 minutes late (yes that's good for me) I quickly gallered all of our church gear and loaded up the car.
I got Liberty in the car and went back inside for Paisley
stood at the door calling for Paisley and after no luck I started searching the house, NO sign of Paisley!
Finally I heard a cry coming from the shower, There I found Paisley sitting in the shower COVERED in soap and in her eyes!
AHH I hurry and clean her up (the car is still running with Liberty inside)
She now has Lipstick and soap all over her dress, no time to change
Church was perfect (life is great now that Paisley goes to nursery)
After church we rush home and I begin the rush of Sunday afternoon. Church ends at 2 and there is a short window that I have to get kids feed and down for naps before it's too late to even nap for the day.
Both girls ask for chocolate milk, both girls get chocloate milk, both girls SPILL choclate milk!
Clean up Chocolate milk
I make them mac a cheese for lunch.
Just as I give both girls their bowls of Mac and cheese Liberty says: Paisley watch this cool trick, and she slides her bowl arcoss the table. It was like a slow motion nightmare. The bowl slides off the table and spills on the floor! You have got to be kidding me!
By that point I was so DONE!
It took everything in me to clean that up throw the girls in bed, and plop my tired body in bed for a quick nap!
Don't we LOVE sundays!
