Random Pics

My SILs do mobile moments and post all their pics for the month taken from their cell phones. I don't take a lot of pics with my phone.... I don't.  So I was quite surprised the other day when my memory was full. I got to looking and found some surprises. Apparently while I drive Ash sneaks my phone and has fun. Here are some of the ones I liked the best since there were hundreds on there!

 

 

 

 

 These ones are from Justice with Mar.

 

 Haha I got this one morning!

  After her highlights.

 

 Lyvi had fun with James over Thanksgiving. She loved to wear his hat!

 And pull his hair!

 Loved the hat.

 So cute!

 She sleeps so funny sometimes.

  I have know idea what this is from!

 My photog.

 

 Ky is so goofy!

 She really hated her dress!

 

These were cute and I wanted to get them posted before deleting them. I sure love my girlies!

6 Months!

 

Alyvia is six months old today. She weighs 14.2 pounds and is about 26 inches long. She loves to sit up and scream (happily). She has also started "walking" back and forth between us holding onto our fingers. Recently she has learned her "happy dance" where she wiggles her bum. She especially likes to do this when she is eating. I am going to get it on video, it is so funny. Still no teeth yet! She loves to play peek-a-boo. She has also started to be a Houdini in her crib. She can get her jammies off and even get her diaper off under her jammies. She loves her real food and constantly tries to get mine! She is just so happy and fun. She is to the point where she has to be "entertained". She likes new things and is constantly on the go. She says "dada" and "mom" but only says mom when I walk out of the room and she screams it. Lyvi has serious separation anxiety already. She is just so cute and always happy. She is really such a joy to have around.
And she has mastered the sippy cup! She can even pick it up and drink it without help on occasion.

Update: I caught her doing her happy dance sound asleep in her crib last night!

Sitting up

 Look who is sitting up!

And proud of it!

 

 

 

She has been doing this for over a week now. She is getting pretty good at it, but gets stuck when she does fall over.

Some of the things we love about this time of year.

Candy cane Hershey kisses

 Cuties, I love that the girls can peel them by themselves!

Ash being silly. Ky likes to buy the sugary cereal, yuk. I only allow it on Saturdays, last Saturday it was something with chocolate. Ash loves chocolate milk, I guess this was pretty good to her.

Shorts & Sandals

Since it has started cooling down at night we have started using the stove. We know it is time when the furnace runs a ton and it is freezing (inside) in the morning. Well this happens to be the first year the basement is mostly finished and actually has insulation and decent windows. Yeah are average temp when we use the stove is 78 degrees upstairs, the basement is warmer. We have all pulled our flip flops and shorts back out. Ky said it is free heat so we can open up windows and doors as needed, okay then. Hey it beats being cold!

Isn't my SIL awesome! She did both of these and they turned out great!

(I had to blur out some info for safety reasons)

 

Can't wait to get them in the mail.

Thanks Missy!

Defiant

You know those times when you feel like hitting your head against the wall..... yeah it was one of those nights. Defiant Kaite made an appearance, enough said. We just love her. How can you not, she is so stinkin cute!
I saw this plaque one time and it said "raising kids is like being pecked to death by a chicken" so true!

I have a serious headache though and I am out of bubble bath.

Let it snow!

So I started this post like three days ago and just haven't had the time to finish. So here it is.

We had our first big snow storm a couple of weeks ago. The girls were so excited, they had fun playing in it for hours, I enjoyed the peace and quiet!

Kami kept throwing snow on Daisy!

Kaite was trying to tackle Sam, good luck Kaite!

We got more snow this past weekend. Also, Ash's friend Cali came up to visit and they got to spend the whole day together. They had so much fun, I wish they could see each other more than twice a year. And yes Kaite is eating snow, yuk!

Keeping with the Christmas spirit (snow) I decorated and hung my wreath.

I am getting so excited for the holidays coming up. We have so many things planned and packed into like a month it will be crazy.

In other news... Ky got to deploy his avalanche bags (they are exchanging cylinders), the girls had so much fun poking and checking them out. I prefer not to think about what he does up on those mountains!

I have been playing with Kami's hair and trying new styles. This one is my favorite, I really like the twist braid in the front.

This one is an old fave that we tried with buns one day. We have also been trying a bunch of styles using the upside down french braid, no pics though. And I am still working on perfecting my messy buns, they just don't seems to work out well.

Kami wearing my "my vote counts" sticker.

My girlies.

Spitting squash!

So happy!

Ears poking out....haha!

This one is for you George! 

We saw him on TV. He was at a college basketball on an aircraft carrier, how cool! And in his uniform and all!

That about sums up what has been going on around here.
