A Full Saturday

I've been behind again on blogging, Mom started a blog for her mission and Becky has been blogging lately which has pushed me back to wanting to get caught up.

I started my by getting up and doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen and getting myself ready for the day (I've noticed that with my losing weight and becoming happier with myself that I have a lot more selfies, haha). Lipstick is a new thing for me but it makes a huge difference!

I had seen something a couple of weeks ago on Facebook called Children's Entrepreneur Market. It is a farmers market style thing completely ran by kids (they manage the booths, are supposed to make the sales, use the money, etc.), I thought that it sounded like a cool idea and the event was happening here in Lehi at Thanksgiving Point. I had invited Libbey and the kids but she wasn't feeling up to going so I took Alexia and Sophie. It was super cool, over 150 booths, many of them with things that the kids had made themselves (games, food, slime, magic tricks, bracelets, etc.).  

 This was probably Sophie's favorite booth, they painted her nails!

 It was quite impressive all that they got to do/buy with their $5!

 After the market the girls and I went straight to Ben and Sonia's for Nadia's bridal shower. The girls got to play with Isabel. At one point Isabel came up and sat between Rachel and I and promptly fell asleep.

 After the shower we went home. Libbey said that she needed to go and check on Kiera that she should probably be awake by now. I walked in and found that Kiera was wide awake, sitting up and playing with her shoes. She didn't even notice that I was there taking her picture for a bit but as soon as she did she wanted me to help with her shoe and then get her out.

 We ended the evening by going swimming at the community pool. Kiera was so cute, she would stand at the edge of the pool and throw the diving ring for me to get and bring it back to her so that she would throw it again (talking about it I feel like a dog).

She decided that she was cold and done so I got to do some snuggling with her.

Three A's and Their Mamas

January 2010:

A very exciting month, I was talking on skype with one of my best friends while I was in Taiwan when she dropped a bombshell on me...she was pregnant! (I know it probably shouldn't have been a huge bombshell for me but I hadn't really put 2 and 2 together that now my friends were getting married they could also get pregnant and have babies).

A couple of days later I got an e-mail from another best friend that she was pregnant too!

I told my sister about both of my best friends being pregnant...she had a secret that she didn't share with me for another couple of weeks. She was pregnant too!

Fast forward to August 2010:

I get a very exciting text on August 24 Erin had had her baby...a little girl!

A week later (exactly- the 31st) I get another call/text (while out celebrating my niece Sarah's birthday) from Brea that she was at the hospital, her water had broke. As soon as I was able I caught the bus to Provo to be there and part of when she had her baby...a little girl!

Now as Brea kind of barely slipped into August with her baby being born there was no chance of Libbey having hers too. Originally all 3 had been due in September, Erin towards the beginning, Brea more middle, and Libbey the end of the month. Erin and Brea had theirs early and Libbey came late with an October baby (yeah we get to share birthday months!)

I found out their names and instantly loved them and the little girls which they belonged to...

Allisyn

Addilyn

Alexia

It's not very often that we have all 3 together so when we were all at Seven Peaks we of course had to take pictures (in order, youngest on left, oldest on right)

Ones with Mommies are always good too!

I love these 3 Little A's and their Mamas and am so happy of the part that I get to have in their lives!

Libbey, Brea, and Erin I have many, many more pictures of them and you guys if you want copies just let me know :)

Fun On A Wave

One of the perks of working at Trafalga is that I get to have a free Pass of All Passes which includes getting to go to Seven Peaks as many times as I would like to without having to pay. I also get some free day passes to share with friends and family. Two weeks ago when Kyle was here I had Friday off and we decided to go to Seven Peaks. We invited Libbey and kids plus my friends Erin and Brea (plus their babies). We all met up and had a comfortable spot in the shade and had a fun day until it was nap time and time for work.

Allisyn all ready to hit the water again (she even had the sunscreen out and ready for someone to help her :D)...P.S. that swimsuit she is wearing? I gave it to "her" the day after she was born.

Erin looking all cute and smiley. I missed her so much while they were in New York and it was so much fun to see her again and catch up.

Addie-Bug, poor baby we accidently put the wrong sunscreen on her and with the water it got into her eyes...they were a little red :(

Kyle, it was kind of a long day for him---he had some dental work done a few days before that and was a little bit drugged up.

Brea

Allisyn was so funny! I had brought a bag of goldfish to share with everyone, it was in my lap and I kept on giving her a couple at a time. I looked away for a few seconds and looked back to find the bag was out of my lap and in hers instead. The best part was at the beginning she would just sit and watch as Lexie and Addie would get goldfish out of the bag but she quickly got over her "shyness" and grabbed them herself :)

My HOTT sister :)

Jacob got a little cold every time after they got out of the water. Good thing he had Aunt Lily to help warm and dry him up.

Our "spot." I hadn't realized how much space we were taking up until we all got up to leave.

We took some pictures of the girls all together and their moms as soon as they were done Addie and Alli decided that they wanted to walk down to me.

We went on the lazy river and both Addie and Alli fell asleep...if only my life was that easy.

Ummm...

I bought this swimsuit top at Target for $6 on Tuesday...

and this dress for $6 at DI on Wednesday...

I think I'm getting more than a little excited for our family CRUISE in JANUARY!
