 Matt and I spent some time last weekend cleaning out part of the garage together. (We still have the other half to go....) So the girls spent sometime playing together in their truck! Sure is nice that they can entertain each other now...for a little while at least! And it is nice to be able to do things as a family together....  especially when it is cleaning and organizing! ;)

 Reese earned a food date  (enough stickers on the chart for trying new foods) so we went to the American Girl Store to have lunch!  It is quite the place!  Reese got a bitty baby for Christmas and she is in love. Today Bitty Baby was visiting all her "roommates". :)  So.many.cute.babies. So.much.money....  I was all excited to find the runner! And Reese said it looked

 Maleah can push the doll stroller now! And she loves it!  (See I told you she likes to smile for the camera now....)  So we took the babies for a walk around the neighborhood. Maleah REALLY wants to do whatever Reese is doing.... and loves it when they can do things together!  And Reese says "Maleah is more fun, now that she is one! Hey that rhymes!" :)  I just think she

 My favorite activity from the bags was making these new years faces. And we each made a goal for the years. Reese drew Maleah's face and her own. And they had striking resemblances!  (Reese wanted to document the moment with her camera too. ;) ) Reese enjoyed reading in her tent a book from each season. We tried to do activities to help Reese understand what a year was. Time is a

We are celebrating today with these bags, thanks to pinterest! Activities in each bag to help us remember last year and look forward to the coming year. 9 am: We will be doing this end of the year question sheet....wondering what Reese's answers will be. 10 am: Playing the calendar game: acting out something we did from each month. 11 am: Making this cute craft and each setting a

There are new cow sculptures a Homestead park. So we packed up the sick kids to get some fresh air.  Then we explored the trail system there. Did you know you can run 3 + miles there with out "doubling back"? I had no idea the trails were so developed already. And so pretty too!  Maleah LOVED walking the trails and HATED holding our hands  And did you know at four you can

Daddy and daughters working together to wrap gifts...... for mommy! :)  Big sister Jamie and Kyle came for a visit. Reese was so excited! And we were too....love spending time with Jamie and Kyle.  Opening up the last Christmas book for this year. This new activity was a hit!   Eating Jesus's birthday cake...in jammies....at night... on the floor....  Without combing our

We made a gingerbread house, with some help from the Costco kit. Reese really enjoyed decorating and REALLY wanted it to look just like the picture on the box. (I tried my best.) She ate one of the gingerbread people as we finished. We displayed it in our dinning room...for a couple days. Until one night after dinner, we headed to the Y, to burn off some of those holiday calories....

I have been searching for a good banana bread recipe. Usually I don't like banana bread because it is too dry. Matt LOVES banana bread. To make us all happy, I tried this recipe. It really is moist! The best I have had!  And I am no baker that is for sure. But this bread turned out wonderful. My other favorite bread this year is this: It is even better when you add chocolate

We took the girls to Life Center's "Singing Christmas Tree" performance this year. Reese's first time, well and Maleah's first time too. This was pretty much the look on their faces the whole time:(These dogs were just some of the animals that were part of the show!)It is quite the production. The girls seemed to enjoy it. I was surprised that I was able to say in my seat the whole time with

Reese's Sunday school class did a "three song performance" after church.And Reese got to be Mary!And hold baby Jesus, so carefully.And sing LOUDLY, with great joy.Remember, Maleah got to play baby Jesus last year......Reese has been wanting to be Mary ever since.And her teachers knew that and lovingly made this little girls dream come true.

Wrapped up our Christmas books this year so that the girls could open one a day until Christmas Eve.We had a few books, we ordered a few from the class book order,and we bought some from Bayside Books.That is the local book store downtown, near El Pueblito.The store owner makes wonderful recommendations.She really knows her literature.And their prices are perfect! Very reasonable.So if you are

My Grandpa (Dad's dad) passed away this week. He was a man of his word because he was a man of God. We would attend his church with our family on Easter and Christmas. They sang hymns, voices only and I loved it! And each Easter we would sing "Up from the grave", my favorite song, so well sung voices only. That is my favorite Grandpa memory. And to think we will sing it again, together, in

One month ago our baby turned one!We started out by letting her open the one present from our family.(Big sister could not wait for her to open it.)We had a small party with friends to celebrate Maleah.She LOVED her cake! Maleah is a great, adventurous eater!One month later......Maleah is walking all over, sometimes running.Talking! She has 20ish words.She talks in sentences....but we have no

We had an enjoyable Halloween this year.We dressed around Reese's Cinderella costume this year.Maleah was the mouse, Daddy the prince and I was suppose to be the fairy godmother.I picked up a blue robe thing with a hood and thought it looked like a good costume.Put it on the day of Halloween, came down stairs and Matt could.not.stop.laughing!Yeah, not going to wear that out in public! :)But the

One cold a month "they" say we can expect.I was kinda hoping after such a tough sick season last year, we could "cash in" some of those immunities we were building last year.September, not so bad, one cold lasted less than a week.This month, worse, we even had to miss school! (Read that in a four year old whining voice.)So we got out the air mattress to relax on while we watch our show of the

Maleah is LOVING watching her signing time movies!We usually watch one after breakfast in the morning.She will sit and practice the signs as she watches.And now she is signing more during the day.Yesterday morning she woke up asking for signing time. :)We are so glad for the gift of this early language.(Thanks Grammie and Gramps!)

This morning Daddy took Reese to her first show at the movie theater.Our local theater shows kids movies Saturday morning for just $2!They saw Curious George and enjoyed it.Reese sat on Daddy's lap the whole time, because she could not keep the theater seat down on her own! :)

Miracle Ranch had a fall festival today that we got to enjoy.Here Reese is meeting one of their cows, she wasn't so sure about the open fencing.We then got to pet some animals in the petting zoo barn.Maleah enjoyed looking at all the animals.(Way more than Daddy did.)Reese got to do a pony ride.Then we made our way to the hay maze.Daddy was able to show us the way because this is the camp he took

It is almost the end of October and it is sunny and 50s today!We could have gone to the grocery store....But the sun was calling!The park has a new fence!Perfect for Maleah to walk along by herself.And some new swings! Unfortunately Maleah does not like to swing....I had no idea kids did not like to swing!Reese brought her horse on a lease and had fun swinging it.Maleah had fun walking all around

Maleah loves to crawl around with a toy in her hand....apparently she knows that you need your keys to go somewhere.Here they are ready to head to the pumpkin patch.Here is what we grew in our garden....a handful of carrots and two snap peas.We have some tiny pumpkins that might keep growing.Looking forward to doing a much bigger garden next year...and planting on time!On our way to Saturday

We got out the pack and play to help contain Maleah from time to time.And so Reese could play with her "little parts" toys while Maleah was awake.But Maleah did not like being in there....and Reese REALLY wanted to go in.So now Reese goes in and plays with her toys.And Maleah stays out.And all is well during playtime. :)

On the 10th Maleah turned 11 months! Can't believe she is almost a year!Her new word is "NO!"Guess she has been hearing that a lot because she gets into EVERYTHING!A whole room full of toys and she goes for any cord, outlet she can find.(Reese was so not this way, so this is all new for us!)Maleah is eating well, always wanting to try what is on our plates.Pretty sure she eats more than Reese

It finally became summer here in September...just when the kids had to go back to school.But school did not start just yet for us, so Reese got to have some beach days with friends.They had fun discovering sea suns....and protecting each other from them. :)They play near each other....And together too.(Side note: this is the first year Reese has said that the water was cold.

It really felt like summer.(Hence Maleah wearing only a onies...she gets hot and sweaty easily....in fact she was already sweating when we got to the fair and were taking her out of her car seat!And that was in the air conditioned car!)This was Maleah's first trip to the fair and she did really well.She enjoyed checking

Big sister Jamie came to visit in September, just before Reese's birthday.Both girls just adore being with her.Here Jamie is teaching Maleah how to use an iphone.And Reese is showing Jamie the tricks she can do now.You see Jamie was the first one to teach Reese to "text".Waaaay back when Reese was 10 months old! :)We are so grateful to continue to have Jamie be a part of our lives!Now if we can

Reese had a "Cinderella" party at JUMP to celebrate turning 4.She picked out her cake, choose what flavors/types of icing she wanted.One of my favorite parts of the party was when each of the guests got to sit by Reese as she opened their gift. They each loved explaining what they got for her and she of course enjoyed receiving it. :)Reese was SOOO excited for the party to start.And once it did,

Four years ago, at 7:14, our lives were changed for the better.You came out screaming and kicking, earning yourself an apgar of 9, which was amazing for a "34 weeker".You continued to amaze us and your nurses, with your ability to "make your needs known".Sitting by your side during the day and leaving you each night got harder everyday.Singing to you "Jesus loves Reese" helped to get us through..

Last week Thursday, after a good mexican dinner downtown, Reese had her first sleepover at Grammie and Gramps' house.They have been offering this all summer....and Reese has been working up her courage to do it.She happily packed her bag....which is mostly dolls and stuff animals.But when it was time to go, her smile turned into this worried look:She went back and forth all dinner long about

Maleah's opinion and personality sure did come alive this last month.And she is army crawling even faster!But she prefers to walk...as long as she has two fingers to hold on to.She can't quite stand on her own yet, so walking is a ways off....but she is working at it!Maleah loves to copy what you are doing.And have you copy what she is doing.She enjoys watching the occasional "Praise Baby" and "

9-11-01....waking up in the Smelley's home (where I was living that semester) seeing the TV on, which was rarely on, asking what had happened. "Plane crash...." Oh, I thought....not understanding what was happening.Heading downtown Santa Barbara to State Street....going to go to the stores to get started registering for our wedding...Matt was to fly down the next day so we could do that together.

Maleah army crawled across the kitchen floor to get to Sebbers who was napping on the carpet.But he was not wanting a visit from the baby, so he got up.And the chase was on.....He watches as she makes her way across the floor."All I want to do is pet you buddy!"Maleah loves doggies....(Well actually "doggie" is the word and sign for any animal...a friend has chickens and Maleah was signing and

Took the girls out for a wagon ride after dinner. Maleah loves doing things with her big sister. Maleah did well sitting in the big girl seat, but she was working hard to keep her balance. So when Reese got out to walk the dog, we put Maleah in a more stable spot. But she missed her sister...."She was just sitting right here...why did she go?"

Reese loves to be in control...what first born doesn't? She has taken a liking to walking Sebbers. He is a patient old guy. And he LOVES to go for a walk...of any kind. A happy dog and a happy preschooler. In the background, Maleah admiring her big sister, watching her every move. Very thankful for this doggie!

The art closet used to be the toy closet....to keep the toys organized and out of sight. But that was not working. The toys were being forgotten = many "I am bored" statements. The art supplies were out in the open = Reese starting many a project without asking for help when she needed it. Plus I could see that very soon Maleah was going to be starting "projects" too. So the toys came out and

Matt and I have been trying/talking/planning/trying to find time each day to get a run in. But it has been hard....until recently.... My friend Annie, (we ran against each other in college, she is VERY fast, and then we coached together at Life) lives 1 mile from us, but our schedules have not quite matched up... For the last almost 4 years straight, I have not been getting up for the day on my

Here is our "new" space. There is something so nice about having all the toys in this room. Not that they don't bring the toys out, but at night, when they are in bed, Matt and I can sit in the living room and not see any toys. And I love how they CAN see all their toys in this room. Reese plays with so many more of them now. This is the not yet done dress up area. I plan to make this as a "

Here is our new set up. It is working out really well. We sold the old desk on CL for $75 and got the new desk and chair for $25! (Thanks to Grammie and Gramps and Kami for a great yard sale find!) I like the book shelves next to the desk....just wish I had another shelf for above the printer....maybe someday, but for now it works fine. Our problem area is the the right of the desk..... The

We have FINALLY been having some HOT days! So after lunch we head out to play in the pool. My favorite game is to throw the basketball in the pool and splash Reese. She says this is NOT her favorite game. (Yea right.) Maleah loves to watch her sister doing water play. But she is not so content any more to just sit and watch....she wants to move! "Hey mom...like my smile?" "Hey mom, while

It has been hard to get beach time this year, due to weather and a morning napper....but we have (finally) found a way to make it work! After church, Reese and Matt head to the beach and Maleah and I go home for morning naps. (Yes, I nap too!) Then after the nap, we join them for about an hour together! Maleah LOVES the beach! She loves exploring the sand and she LOVES the water! Reese also

Our garden and our girls!Reese has grown to be 3 1/2 feet tall. She is starting school in about 3 weeks. And she is sooooo very ready! Maleah is as tall now (9 months) as Reese was at a year! And Reese was 90% at a year.....so we have some growing girls on our hands. (Daddy was the same height he is now in 8th grade, so maybe they are growing like him.) And our little garden.

Maleah loves Sebbers....Sebbers is a patient old (13!) doggie. Most often she is content to just be near him, checking him out. Waiting to see if she can "score" a doggie kiss. He is such a good dog to the babies...after all he has been through this before....

After naptime snuggles with Daddy to welcome him home from a hard day at work. Maleah was enjoying it more than Reese. None the less Daddy was feeling very loved. :)

After seeing the Cinderella play, Reese insists on dressing as Cinderella EVERYDAY. For the most part it is great, she wants to clean, be kind and sweet because that is what Cinderella does of course. But she thinks that I know nothing about Cinderella. Only Daddy can understand Cinderella...after all he is the one who took her to the play. So she likes to have "chats" with Daddy about these

Am I 6 months? Oh, nope, got it now, I AM 9 months! 9 months is tasty! (Just like 8 months was.) If you put it right here, I promise I will leave it alone. You don't believe me? I am shocked! See, standing helps me not want that marker so much...see how serious I am about these pictures now?

Yea for 9 months! This month Maleah's personality started to really come out. She says Dada and looks for him. She crys when her sister leaves the room. She has a serious face she makes, usually for Daddy, some game (flirting) she does with him. She finally started (yesterday) putting puffs in her mouth herself. She can clap and sign more and I think she is signing doggy. She is closer to

Every once in a while, we bring Daddy lunch at work. Reese insisted that she and Maleah wear matching dresses and take a picture with Daddy. So we did. Reese loves to visit the office to see Daddy of course...and go on a hunt for candy...which there always is around. The people who work there are always so friendly and excited to see the girls, makes it for a fun trip for all of us.

Last Friday Reese went to see Cinderella with Daddy. This was her first time going to a play. She was VERY nervous! At first mention of the date plan, Reese begged Daddy not to take her, she did NOT want to see the mean lady. So the next morning we role played, and talked a lot about pretend verses real. Worked out to be a good morning for me, I got to boss "Cinderella" around to clean the

MY lack of blogging is due to two things:1) Aunt Kami takes all the pictures now...must get them from her soon! :)2) The front living room is becoming the office (we never used that space, only on Christmas morning) the office is becoming the "playroom" and the toy closet is becoming the art closet.I am moving things around to use our space better, get the toys within reach to be safe for Maleah

Reese is still taking an afternoon nap. (Hooray!) But most often I have to wake her up after 2 hours, you know so she will go to bed before midnight. Reese usually does pretty well having to be woken up...especially if I swaddle her, give her a snack and let her wake up while watching a show. ;)

We bought a football discount card this year. The freshman boy rode through our neighborhood and did such a good sales pitch. And he entertained Maleah while I got the money for him. (Smart boy)Anyways, it has a discount for pizza at Blue Cannon. Reese loves it there! Probably because we let her play and then eat when she wants to. Makes it so she has fun, eats some, and Matt and I get to chat,

Maleah is reading one of my favorite board books! She will sit and read books now for a little while....But if the books get away, like her favorite one, SMILE, she is happy to chase after them.Wondering how much longer until all this rolling and scooting turns to crawling. This is new for me! Reese kinda crawled at one year for a week...then she walked. So having a moving baby on the floor is a

Reese is so into princess these days....and I for one am done! I keeping hoping she will move onto something else. But not yet....oh well, it could be worse right?!Currently, she likes to do princess dress up, princess color forms, read princess books, listen to princess music, dance with her prince (daddy), play and sleep with her princess dolls and she has requested a "sleeping beauty" princess

Reese starts preschool (YIKES!) this September and apparently she is ready. Here she is being the teacher to her student Maleah. Things I learned in her class yesterday:Teachers have to wear glasses, that makes them the teacher.No cameras at school!

I got out this toy that we used for Reese the week that Maleah was cutting her first two teeth in hopes it would distract her from the pain.It turned out to entertain Reese more than Maleah. Go figure! But what was great was that Reese would sit and play with Maleah and this made Maleah happy, well happier. :)

This is Reese at 8 months old. We have this picture in a frame and for a while now, okay since Maleah was a couple weeks old, Matt would walk by it and ask "How long until Maleah gets to be like that? I like that stage!" Well dear, we are finally there! :)Maleah cut her first two teeth this month. She did pretty well. She still napped pretty good and slept fine at night. But during the day, she

Reese is eating better these days. We have really cut back on snacks like crackers, she usually has fruit. Funny that when she was a baby, she mostly ate carrots and sweet potatoes (and was a little orange for a while) but did not care for the fruits as much. Now she is quick to eat fruit and will tolerate some veggies. But for the most part she is eating well and growing like a weed! ;)

My sweet baby girl who was content to sit and play....Is now enjoying rolling and moving and exploring so much more! I still set her down sitting but quite quickly she leans to the side and gets on her tummy.Maleah was having so much fun playing with Reese's dishes. She really liked seeing her reflection in that toaster and spent a while talking to that baby. :)Pretty good reaching! She gets her

This morning we got up early and headed out to run the "four on the fourth" with Gramps and Kami and Grammie to cheer us on. Here is the group, with Grammie taking the picture:The girls already to go:Maleah fussed/"baby sang" the whole way but wasn't too bad. Reese cheered and sang "america" songs the whole way. She was awesome! And then she got out to run the last 1/2 mile with us...which was up

Grandma Sue sent the girls these cute matching dresses.Reese was trying to be helpful and get Maleah to smile....forgetting that she too needed to look and smile! :)Once I got a good look from Reese Maleah was done smiling!Then Reese was done with taking pictures in the dresses....guess Maleah was too.But they saved their best looks for last!

Is Wednesday! Well with our current schedule that is. Reese and I head out first thing in the morning to do a "mommy" workout at the track. Daddy stays home with Maleah. We running sprints and Reese cheers "Go Go Mommy! You can do it!" Then we do sit ups, push ups, and lungs and Reese does them with us and cheers for us too.After track Grammie and Gramps take Reese to story and craft time at the

Enjoying seeing Maleah's sweet personality come out more and more...She is working on moving...mostly rolling to move....she can get her arms up, but not her tummy for crawling...And she is dropping that third nap. So we try to keep her up about two hours between each nap so that the gap from her last nap and bed time is not too long. That means Reese often starts her afternoon nap before Maleah.

Reese has recently discovered how much fun it is to roll down the hill in our back yard.She kinda just throws herself down the hill...It was a lot of fun, until we discovered 8 bug bites at bath time...she will be taking a break from rolling for now. :)

I just saw this as kinda an eye sore, meant to have that rose bush climb it. But a friend said "Have you ever thought of putting a white sheet over it for outdoor movies?" Brilliant! I love having smart friends! Now to plan a summer/fall movie night...

Reese is finally able to dress her dolls. Hurray! This means that the basket of doll clothes was getting dumped out everyday and spread all over the living room. Who can blame her, she was just looking for the clothes she wanted for her doll.Got this organizer for one dollar at a yard sale and now it is our doll clothes organizer. Works pretty well! Can you see that we really need some more toys

Daddy is already teaching Maleah how to vacuum and sharing his love of cleaning. He is using his Dyson that he got for Christmas...it is awesome! Does really well getting all that pet hair.Looks like she is excited to give it a try! :)

Loving the creative play from Reese lately. Here the couch is the car and she is driving her baby to the beach for the day. Sounds like a nice day to me!

Found a double jogger on CL and had some help cleaning it up.....Actually heard that you could take the fabric off...so I unscrewed it all and washed it in the washer. It was a lot of work! So glad Matt worked hard to put it all back together!And now we are ready to run. We went on a family run last week and the girls did really well. Reese kept asking if we could run longer...

Came across this picture of Reese and Matt today....Reese is 8 months old here and they are moving her car seat straps up to fit her. Well Maleah has almost out grown that outfit that Reese is wearing! Thinking I should be changing the car seat straps again now... :)

Seriously so wonderful to have Maleah wake up happy from her nap! And she usually does! One of the best parts of my day for sure!Side note: About a month ago Maleah was trying to figure out how to roll back and forth, but she could not quite get that arm above her head. Well, she came up with a new way...she just rolls right over that shoulder!Anyone else have a kid that rolls like this? She sure

Spent the afternoon clean and organzing the garage (again) and was about to recycle this box....when I was stopped by a 3.5 year old....don't throw that away!! Why not, it is taking up room in our garage. Well because....It is actually a magic school bus! (Not sure if Maleah wants to join her or thinks she is a silly big sister.)

Can you believe it is your fourth Father's Day already? (Or fifth if you count being pregnant and you should count that one with the way I "handle" being pregnant!)First Father's Day....I was so very impressed with your ability and willingness to entertain a baby! You and Reese bonded so well so early on and even though that baby phase was not your favorite, you made sure your first baby felt

Big sister Jamie and her husband Kyle came by for a quick visit this past week. We all love getting to spend some time with them....Reese gets especially excited! "Mommy Maleah does not know about big sister Jamie yet, so I will tell her..."Jamie and Kyle came for a quick dinner and then enjoyed Daddy's softball game with us. And the park with Reese:I love how adoringly Reese is looking at Jamie!

My baby sister is graduating from college today! With honors! So very proud of you Kami! She is a talented student. And I think one of the hardest things about being a student is balancing your time, deciding how you are going to put your best effort into each class. Some classes require more time and attention, more reading or outside group projects or labs. But just because one class is more

We are all really enjoying Maleah's age, stage, personality right now. Reese is so often saying "What a cute little baby you are, yes you are!" And Maleah saves her best laughs and smiles for Reese of course. I am pretty sure THIS is what Reese thought having a baby would be like.Maleah seems to still enjoy all the action around the house and is content to sit and watch her sister, dog, dad and

While Reese and Daddy were at the parade Maleah and I had breakfast (after mommy got to go for a run!)Then we went outside were it was almost already 70! And filled up the pool, putting on the "solar" cover. ;)It was so nice to be outside in the warm sunshine so "early" in the day!

Reese's new favorite thing to play is swim time, then sleep time with her babies. I guess they get tired after all that swimming. And Reese makes sure that she and her babies where a "night cap"....not sure where she got that one from. Love watching her play and what she comes up with!

Bumble bees and lilacs! And both are all over the place here right now! I dislike lilacs because they make me sneeze and my eyes water, other wise I would like their smell and their shape. Funny thing is these two trees were at our house when we bought it with a note saying that the owners were going to take them with them....I was so excited! But, they forgot them. And each year I have offered

Okay, I cannot run on the treadmill every day....to boring! Even with the TV! And I am not always able to run the roads...still trying to get a double jogger...so we run hills in the back yard during Maleah's morning nap!I used to really DISLIKE hill workout days....would rather run 20 200s! But not now...I know hills give me more bang for my buck...although if I had a 200 meter track in my back

This is my new sweet set up! My parents got me the treadmill last Christmas and Matt set up the TV this past weekend! I love it...having it set up and ready to go. Currently I am able to put both girls down for their naps and then get my workout on. And baby weight the 2nd time around sure likes to hang on!! Plus full term baby weight is much harder to loose than preemie baby weight. But no more

Daddy gets up around 6am and takes the dog for a walk. He is back by 7am and that is usually when Reese gets up. This is Daddy/Reese playtime in the morning...He even trys to sneak in a little workout...Very thankful for this playful daddy that adores his daughters!
