Before and After

For date night last week we started a pretty big project I didn't realize at the time what we were getting ourselves into but I had so much fun, it ended up taking us about 4 LONG nights of hard work but totally worth the end product. I love my new TV cabinet!!

After

New Stats!

Picture taken by Brynn Guzman

Sydney had her 4 month check up yesterday and she is doing great....I believe she will be bigger then Kloee I was looking at how big Kloee was at 5 months and Sydney is bigger already. Here are the comparisons

Sydney Yesterday(4months)  Kloee (5 months)

Length 23in                       22.5 inches

Weight 12.6 lbs                      10.9 lbs

Head 16.5in                            16in

Yet Sydney didn't make it over the 25% in any category!

Sydney rolls over and loves to turn 360's on the floor she loves talking to anyone that will listen and she LOVES to grin. She puts those dimples to good use. We started giving her cereal about a month ago and she gobbles it up, you can't hardly get it in fast enough. She is a very happy and patient baby.

New Year!!!

For New Years Eve we celebrated by visiting my new niece Dayna who was born that day(SO CUTE BTW) and then we partied in the New Year by playing The farming game with my sisters! It was a fun filled night full of giggling, nerdiness, and LOTS OF FOOD! I was grateful my parents hosted the party since they were up at 4am that morning they are so great!

It's taken me a while to get around to this post because as the new year starts I spend a lot of time reflecting how this past year has gone and how I can make this year even better. We have been blessed so much and I keep pinching myself double checking if this is really my life. I feel so undeserving of such a wonderful husband that works and studies and takes care of our little family so well. He amazes me.  If someone would have told me three years ago that I could love someone or be loved this much I would have never believed them. Our two little girls also amaze me each day. I love watching them learn, grow and develop. What a learning experience it is; I think they teach me more then I could ever teach them.  As I was talking to one of my girlfriends (who is expecting her first) the other day, she mentioned how she is a little nervous to be trusted with one of Heavenly Fathers children and I think I am still pretty nervous to have two of them. I am so blessed that he has trusted them to me and now I need to work hard at teaching them as he would have me do.

I have MANY resolutions of which I will not bore you but I'm looking forward to a whole new year of adventure, learning, getting fit, spiritual growth and staying busy........I LOVE LIFE!!!

Gingerbread Houses

I never realized how much work making gingerbread houses was until I decided to make a couple for my nieces and nephews to decorate....the prep work took DAYS but it was TOTALLY worth it when I saw how excited they were to decorate them, especially Kendra (Darren's little sister Ive never seen her so excited)

Kloee got a mini house all to her self and well she is a bit small still to decorate but she helped a little between all the eating of candy she did! So much fun Ill probably do it again sometime.
