Catching Up...

Wow I didn't think I would ever get back to blogging, but I forced myself to sit down and post the pictures I had from the end of last year.
So if anyone wants to see I have back posts from Halloween thru Christmas now. :)

Now onto 2011!

Sweet Baby Smiles & Crazy Chipmunk Dancing

I have been meaning to post this since last week but I have been working frantically on getting my photography caught up...and I have done it all - except one session! :) Yay! (that is until Wednesday. when I photograph another session) Anyways I thought I'd post these fun pictures to let you know how the kiddos are doing!

Austin is as busy as always. He loves to dance! Every time an upbeat song comes on he busts-a-move! I've been told that his Aunt Mindee taught him to bow, but I have only seen him do it once, it's pretty cute! And I have finally found a movie he will somewhat watch! He LOVES the Chipmunk Movie. I had him in his highchair eating and watching the movie while I was in the other room editing and a song came on and I thought I better go check if he is dancing and low and behold:

I totally love this kid! It was so cute! If no one is around he really concentrates and pulls some funny faces like the one above.
Austin also has a bad night time habit~ anytime we put him in bed he cries bloody murder. And believe me we have tried to let him cry it out. It can last for hours. Aaron now has to lay on his floor until he falls asleep. And that's not the worst of his nightly habits. He seems to wake up every morning between 3 and 5 a.m. and screams until you get him. So we bring him into our bed when he wakes up like this (which has been for the past 3-4 months). I know it's a terrible habit to let him sleep in our bed in the morning....but I’m not going to lie - I love the morning snuggles I get in with him once daddy goes to work! :)
As for Baby Mylee she doesn't go to sleep at night until 1 in the morning usually. But now she is sleeping until about 5 a.m. so we get a little sleep in.

But she is a happy girl (when she's not sleepy). She is a smiler, I've decided her nickname will be "Smiley Mylee". Every time she wakes up from a nap or gets done with a bottle she is all smiles and coos for about 10-15 minutes - I LOVE IT! She is to cute for words! And I am guessing she will be a big fan of Christmas just like her daddy because every time I sing the song off of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (the one that's like..."yaw hoo dores, yaw hoo dores, welcome Christmas, Christmas time"...something like that) She gets big smiles and starts to coo a lot. So adorable! I am horrible at the picture taking and capturing her smiles because I just want to sit there and play with her and not run to get the camera. But here was my attempt of capturing her smile a few days ago:
And yes she still has her blue eyes. I'll be shocked if they stay...but for now they are still a pretty blue! I totally love Austin's eyes (which are like mine) but truthfully I hope Mylee gets her dads eyes - which she won't because they aren't light. But Aaron has the most beautiful eyes! That's why I married him....I was secretly hoping he'd give me blue-green eyed babies! :) j/k

Here is a picture of Mylee's first time going to church
(well not counting Stake Conference last Sunday)
Yeap all of her 0-3 clothes still drowned her!
She is still in Newborns!
So that's what the kiddos have been up to. As for Aaron and I we are just pluggin' away at work!
I do have to say this (hopefully Aaron will read this) Aaron has been such a wonderful help with the kids this past weekend and I really appreciate it. He is the reason I am almost caught up with my work, and I love him to death! I also have to thank his mother because I am sure she helped him out a lot since he spent all of the weekend at her house! So Thanks Jan! I have a very wonderful family and I am very lucky!
Hope all is well with everyone else! :)

Okay, I am GLAD she is still tiny....because I am going to run her present down TODAY! Which is....0-3 months! I was so worried she wouldn't get to wear it! :) You're doing great as a mommy and working too! :)

Why Thanks for the Thanks Misty Lou!!! You know we just love having the kiddos at our house. Austin is our lil-buddy, he helps out with everything...... I am sure when Mylee gets a little bigger it will be the same with her. You and Aaron are doing great in the parenting skills. Your FAMILY is BEAUTIFUL :-)
