ZOO

We went to the small Utah ZOO on Saturday and it was so fun. I love Hogle zoo. My sister Diania, Ben, Finn, Yara, Ava and I went. Yara is actually old enough now to start naming the animals and she absolutely loved the train. She was waving and saying "Hi"
to everyone. Ava was great, She was asleep the entire time.

MOM

I'm having one of those annoying and hard mommy days. Both of my girls are sick -- mostly yara the 2 yr old. Ava is such a sweet heart, she is fine being covered in all of yara's toys and books. Yara is so worn out and just sick. And to top it off she won't eat anything besides grapes and raisins.

Anyways I'm going to stop complaining and start being grateful for every thing I have.

5 things I'm grateful for:

1. My beautiful little girls who have no serious health problems!!!!

2. A mommies best friend -- Pediatrician..... Dr. O'very who always comes through to help my kids feel better when feeling down.

3. Justin who works so hard in school and providing for our family. He got a 99% on his physics test last week... haraaa for him!

4. Books. They help my unwind and relax.

5. Okay this is a book but it counts... Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by: some genius doctor who I can't remember his name. Yara and Ava sleep so well because of this book. I have the evening to myself and Justin. I could go on and on about it but I won't.

Okay I tag Diania, Kristy, Kaylee, Brittany Pack, Konae, Jodie, and Stacey Jewkes.... You better do it or else.....!

I'm back.....

Well I'm finally back to updating my blog. I have been SUPER busy with Yara and the new edition baby Ava. She was born January 27, 6 lbs 12 oz. I went into labor around 430 pm went to the Logan hospital at 6pm the same day,,,,,,, she was born at 6:55pm!!!! She was in a hurry to get here. She was born right after President Hinkley passed away --- it was very special in the room when we found out.


Justin has been really busy also, right now he is down in Mexico with some dentists and other students doing a mission trip, he is really liking it! I will put the pictures up of his trip when he gets back. Anyways here are today's pictures::::

Yara

I think this picture of Yara is so cute. She looks like a Selph baby.....? This was taken after her bath so she was pretty excited to be jumping on the bed naked.

The Monitor....

Ever since Yara was born (22 months ago) we never really needed a monitor to hear her. We have always had a one level apartment. In our new apartment her bedroom is upstairs. The only way we really knew she was awake was when the ceiling started shaking, she loves jumping.

Yesterday I finally went to Walmart to buy a monitor. It has been so fun listening to her. Today I just put her down for a nap and she is just up there laughing. But she is starting to calm down.... Hopefully.... I love the monitor!

Side pony tail...

So last night Justin was giving me ideas for Yara's hair, and the side pony came up.... I think it's totally cute. She has such a big cowlick in the back a distinct part that it's hard to do certain hair styles. She is so good at letting me do her hair. I wonder how long that will last.

28 weeks and growing....


I think it's amazing how the female body was built. I am - 28 weeks. I actually had a check up today and every thing looks great so far. It is the best feeling to hear your babies heart beat. Yara gets up there right next to me and gets so excited to hear that little FAST beating noise.

the wonderful park


she is getting so big. she can do all the slides by herself.


Me....

My sister tagged me with this thing where I'm supposed to tell 6 things about me! This is honestly really hard for me, I really haven't thought about just myself for a long time. I'm always thinking about Justin, Yara, the new little edition in my belly, laundry, cleaning the bathroom and the toys etc.... Mom things you know..?

1. I know how to ski, snowboard and telemark ski. I hope after this little girl is born and I can go a few times before the season ends. Justin is planning on taking Yara skiing this winter after her 2nd b-day. I can't wait to watch...
2. I love photography.
3. I like to read.... I'm in charge of a book club up here in Logan. So if you know of any really good books let me know.
4. I drive adults with disabilities home from their work 3 days a week. I really enjoy being around them and trying to figure out what they are thinking about!
5. I hate dirty bathtubs and kitchens. I would rather have my whole house be a disaster than have a dirty kitchen or tub.
6. I've traveled all over the world. And hopefully Justin and I can take our kids all over when we are older and more settled.

Okay I tag lindsey darley, kristy and kemper...

New books... and we LOVE em'


You can actually move the tooth brush back and forth to properly show your child how to brush!
Up and down.... This next book is so cute. Yara loves it so much. She wants to read it over and over again.....


Yara loves reading books, and hiding them... that's why we joined the book club. The library fees were a little too much. The http://www.cbomc.com book club is fantastic because of the deals and all the choices. We rarely get books but when we do it's so fun!!

Halloween with the Selph family
