We are getting a Puppy!

We were so excited that over the fourth of July weekend my Mom & Dads dog (Roxy) had her puppies! We have been waiting for them to come for a while now and so we were all VERY excited! Now we just have to pick which one we would like. We are for sure getting a little girl, which Meika would like to name Cinderella.
My Mom sent these pictures of them to help us pick which one we would like but it is just too hard, they look so much a like still. So I am thinking I will have my family who live near my parents just pick their favorite for us.
They are Miniature Schnauzers and are still in that weird baby stage, but really they are so cute! We get to go get one this month sometime and we can not wait! Meika talks about her puppy everyday!

This is a picture of the Daddy of the puppies when he was a baby.

This is what we have been up to....

Swimming!!! Of course with it being so hot in Vegas right now, that is pretty much all we can do.

I think these pictures are so funny, the little girl next to Sienna is Ryan, our friends little girl. She is just the cutest thing ever and couldn't stop touching Sienna! So sweet!

This picture I think is so funny because I can almost hear Sienna thinking ..
" Breath... its okay... she is only a baby..." Her little hands are all tense and her eyes are closed trying to relax! So FUNNY!

I don't know what they were looking at but it must have been amazing!

Nice Belly Sienna!

Ryan is showing everyone her cracker.

Meika really wanted Sienna to wear her bikini from when she was a baby and Sienna was so excited to be wearing a "swim puit" like Meika's.

Silly Faces!

Meika wore this swim suit when she was a baby so I had to get some cute pictures of Sienna wearing it too.

The face that Sienna is doing in this picture is one that she does all the time! like if you say a word she has never heard before, she will repeat the word and then do this face. like what?

Meika & Sienna are so sweet to each other, they are always snuggling and wrestling and hiding together. One morning Meika was in bed with me and Sienna climbed in bed crawled over me and laid down on Meika's stomach.

To see what were doing a couple weeks ago in Utah check out my Mom's blog because I forgot my camera at home so don't have any pictures!

I love CRAFT APPLE!

For any sewing people out there who are looking for an awesome project... you have got to look at this car organizer It looks like just about the best thing ever designed for a car belonging to a family. So check it out!

Suprise Visit from the Rash Family

Last thursday I got a text from my sister asking for my address, so I sent it to her and for somereason anytime she asks me any question I always say "why, because you are coming to our house" or something like that. well this time she said, yes we will be there in three hours. AAHHH!! I was so excited! So they stayed thursday night wit us and then at Lake Las vegas friday.

Krew & Sienna had so much fun riding in the stroller together, they were laughing so hard.

Meika wanted to hold Stryker so Erik helped her out.

We stopped by Sephora and while in there Meika got a hold of some lip stick...She is crazy about make-up!

Krew & Sienna taking a ride around the house.

This picture is so funny to me because Meika was sitting at the counter talking to Seth about how she really wants to go to girls camp with her older cousin Mckyna. She was so sad that she was too young... she told us that she was the same as Mckyna.

McCall & Sienna are best buddies

Kim and Stryker hanging out at the pool

Macky & Krew

Seth was listening to a book on tape and was trying to sleep...kinda

Sienna borrowed McCalls sunglasses... looking good!

McKyna & Meika best buds

Krew & I shared a slushie and every time I would stop drinking and take my mouth off the straw he would point to my straw until I started drinking again.

We got some yummy nachos, Sienna grabbed a jalepeno and quickly realized that she didn't really like it.

Meika watching the fire works, we were at the pool for a poolside movie and she decided she wanted to go swimming in her dress... so fun!

We watched the fire works from the pool at the Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas and it was a lot of fun! Thanks Rash family for turning down a trip to the beach to come to Vegas and hang out with us!

Nanna & Pappa in town

My parents came to town a couple weeks ago and then headed to California to get by brothers kids and on their way back stopped by again so we were able to have lots of fun!

Sienna & Reagan Had so much fun playing together, they were very good at sharing too.

We went to the Leeds museum and had a blast, there is a little radio station that the kids can sing in. Meika sang the ABC's and the Wheels On the Bus.

Bubble Fun.

It was so hot while they were here so we spent time at my parents hotel watching movies and swimming.

Nanna & the girls heading to the pool. We had so much fun with my parents and were so glad that they were able to stop in Vegas and visit with us!

I love Him!

Tonight we watched P.S. I LOVE YOU, and it really touched me. It is about a girl who's husband dies and he has letters sent to her for how ever long.... Seth said something to me about how that was a really nice thing for the husband to do and that if he were to die and had time he would write me lots of letters. Before he even finished his thought I was balling, I didn't want him to even think about it. These last couple weeks I have realized how precious each and every day is with our family. I love Seth so much and so I am going to note some things he does that are just him.

- He flosses in the shower and leaves the floss hanging over the the top of the shower.
- He is very clean person and carries wipes with him in his car at all times.
- He does use wipes while in the bathroom and seems to always clog the toilet..(I know gross... but if any toilet is ever clogged I always know who did it)
- He loves to play the piano and guitar and he is really good at it. When ever I hear him playing I love to go in there and sit on the floor and just watch and listen.
- He loves cereal and will eat bowls and bowls of it. His favorite is captain crunch..
- He really enjoys watching the office and while watching it he laughs so hard that I can't help but laugh. He will rewind and watch parts of it over and over again, and even though it drives me crazy I love that he likes the show so much.
- The first time he kissed me it was this really funny thing, he didn't move his lips at all.. he just kind of set them on my cheek... I always make fun of him for it, but it was actually really sweet.
- He LOVES his baby girls and is so sad when he gets home late and they are sleeping. So even though I hate him to do this he always sneaks in their room to give them kisses or just say good night.
- When he talks to me he calls me Carrie.
-He likes to go to bed really early like 9 and wake up at like 4.. and while up at four he does LOTS of stuff... like cleaning the garage, or studying, or jogging.. by the time I wake up he has done a whole list of things.
-At night he lets me rest my foot on his leg, I like to know that he is there.
-He gets lost all the time, and if I let him he would just drive aimlessly until I asked where he was going. So I tell him every turn to make, and if I don't and ask where he is going he says... I don't know you didn't tell me to turn.
-He loves reading, and always has a book on his ipod that he is listening to.
-He has a big contagious smile.
-Something that has been my favorite thing since I met him is that we can talk for hours, about anything... we usually end up laughing... or fighting... but it is always so fun.
- He is my very best friend and I love him to death, I feel so blessed to have him each day and I can't wait to grow old with him and hear about all his foot pains and knee pains... and whatever other pains there may be. I won't mind at all!

Snuggle Time

Sienna learned how to climb to the top of her crib and throw herself over, so we decided that we should take her out of her crib before she really hurt herself. So we took down her crib and Meika's Twin bed and put a queen bed in their room.

This picture is sunday night, their beds weren't quite put together so we let them sleep with us in our bed. Seth and I were up and came in the room to see them snuggling.

This is the first afternoon they took a nap in their big bed. Which they were both so excited about. Meika kept saying that she had a big bed like mom and Dad, and sienna just kept pulling me in her room to see her new bed. Or maybe she was confused and was asking where her bed was, who knows.

This is Tuesday morning they had both stayed in their bed all night which is so AWESOME!

Pray for Camille

I wanted to post a link to our friends blog so that anyone who read this would add Camille and her family to your prayers. They are such a wonderful family and we love them so much!

Bubble baby

After posting the last pictures of the outdoor bath I remembered I had this picture of Meika when she was a little baby.. so I thought I would show it... she is so cute! She was really the best baby ever, and I have such good memories of the two of us hanging out all day. You know... the days when they are too little to make a mess or talk back!

Backyard Bathing

Yesterday evening I filled the pool up with bubbles and warm hot and the girls took their nighttime bath outback. They had so much fun and it was really nice to be able to enjoy the nice weather.

Making cupcakes & cake pops

Tuesday the girls helped me make the desserts and party favors for a Jewelry Party I was hosting. So here are some cute pictures of the little helpers.

~Sienna Mixing~

~Meika putting the cupcake liners in~

~Meikas turn to mix~

These are the cake pops while they were drying. I thought they were pretty yummy.. I maybe put too much frosting in the mixture but I still thought they were worth eating. I got the idea from this site, she makes the cutest things on there, so check it out! But I put these in little plastic treat bags and tied a ribbon around them for party favors.
