hahahahaha

Oh we do love our fat babe!

On Michael's birthday this year we brought a new member of the family in.  Actually Grandpa helped me get him here! Thanks dad! We named him Wall E because he hangs on the wall:) 

We love him.

moments

Written in March

Ok I don't necessarily love to do big long catch up posts. But I DO love a good list. So here is one to highlight wonderful moments of our last few months!

I discovered the show "fixer upper" around the time Sia was born and we watched it a lot while living in Avo Isabel's living room. Good times nursing and rocking a cranky Sia :)

I now want concrete sinks in our bathroom someday and some cool reclaimed wood beams somewhere in our house and I do love ship lap! (not painted)

lil has been texting and face timing to inquire about pregnancy symptoms of her own and I have LOVED it! It's fun hearing about it all and being able to offer some advice about certain things;) (we are ready for that baby! Any day now)

We moved!!! After 2 years of living with Michael's family we finally have a place of our own in little ole Hilmar. It is all very exciting and I'm floating still. I did a TON of purging and organizing and it's been very good for my soul.

Because of moving we have rediscovered our wedding gifts again (especially in the kitchen) and it's been so much fun to do with my girls. We've made ice cream, milkshakes, a carrot cake for our anniversary (cuisine arts are magic I tell you!!! Noelle and Gwinna were almost as giddy as I was watching it chop up all of our carrots), stir frys and a few other healthy foods;)

Moments I've loved...

- girls meeting Sia for the first time

-my mom coming over and eating blueberries from our fridge

- Michael saying he loves his life right after changing a poopy diaper

-watching our babies run across our backyard and being able to run with them

-all the days Michael comes home earlier than I expect

-work outs feeling slightly easier

-blowing big bubbles for the girls and watching them chase them

-finger painting on our living room floor (thanks daddy!)

TV lately

We watched all of Fuller House in one weekend! Loved it.

The new pee wee movie. So odd but kinda fun. I love the balloon scene!!!

Dr. Pol - veterinarian. A great one. Gwinna says she wants to be a vet now. This show has actually made me cry a few times! Ugh people love their pets!

Another awesome moment.

Gwinna put a small ziplock bag around her hand and said "I'm doctor Pol" and went over to the couch and stuck her hand between the cushions! ha!!!! He sticks his arms in a lot of cows:)
