Kodi asleep

Funny place to have a 2 hour nap huh! I had to take my car seat out of Dasha's car yesterday, and she was asleep, so I carried her in like this. She stayed here, fast asleep, for 2 hours!

Christmas Pictures

Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas

Merry night before Christmas every one! We are thinking of you all and hope Santa fills your stockings with all kinds of goodies.

Oops

sorry I forgot to rotate the pictures

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

The perfect tree... Getting out all of the knots... Putting on all of the ornaments... Kodi didn't quite get it...

Final touch (below) How lovely are thy Branches. We went to go and get our Christmas Tree yesterday. Kodi Lynn slept through it, but Degan had a good old time. He's never seen so much green before :) When we got home the kids loved helping Daddy and me decorate. They both put on their special ornaments.

Degan's 1st Tooth!

Yes! Finally a tooth. I am so happy. Now he can start taking a bottle, and I don't have to feel guilty. He's getting so big!

Santa... Again...

Yup we had to see Santa again. I really wanted to get a more traditional Santa picture, like the ones I had when I was a kid. Kodi Lynn did so good, she ran right up to him. I was so happy! She didn't want to leave either. It was a lot of fun, and I got to do some more Christmas shopping while I was out too! Yesss!

Ideas Please

I need a cute idea for a gift in my ornament exchange on Wed. I have hit a wall! I need some ideas fast. I want to be creative. Please help!

Santa!

We went to Disneyland on Wed. with Shannon, Letti, her girls, and Nan. We got to see Santa and sit on his lap. Kodi wouldn't smile, but a least she sat on his lap. I am going to try to get her to smile for the camera next time so I can have a cute Christmas card. Wish me luck!

Getting Ready!

Well here I am one day left until we leave for Texas for Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see the family. I still have a lot to do but I just wanted to keep everyone posted on whats coming up. Kodi Lynn and Degan are going to meet their Great Grandpa Mac for the first time. I am so excited. And the Texas family finally gets to meet Degan! Yeah! We are very excited to go. We wish we could be with all of the family on the holiday. Sorry Autie Shannon and Nona Joni. We love you and wish all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Halloween 2007

My little butterfly I'm stuck in his web of cuteness Don't cry lil' spider

Kodi Lynn and Degan had such a great time this Halloween. They both were the most adorable bugs ever ( thanks Mom). Our family hosted the 2nd annual Halloween Open House in Grand Terrace. The park across the street has the city Halloween haunt/carnival, so we get a lot of trick-o-treaters. We love getting together with all of our friends and family. It's such a "treat" to see everyone dressed up and having fun. Next year you should really stop bye and join in the fun if you couldn't this year.

Wow Sorry for my absence! Life gets going, and you forget those small but important things in your life. I promise to be more on top of it. Hope everyone had a great Halloween. The kids had such a blast. Check back soon for an update.

Well we went to Degans 4 month Doctors appointment. The nurse went to weigh him and was puzzled that the scale did not budge at 12 lbs., and at 13 lbs. I was cracking up, and at 15, and finally he tipped the scale at 16 lbs. and 11 oz. :) Man he really is a chunk. He's getting so big! We are having so much fun, our little family of four!

Florida Fun!

The Rings Please! Little Man! He's so handsome! Great Grandma Dee and Degan at the reception. Kodi only wants her juice pink now! Thanks to the "Shirley Temple" at the reception. Our little flower girl!

Well we went to Florida for my Mom's wedding and Kodi had a blast! She loved playing with John's boys! David (the oldest) played with her the entire time we were there. Mom looked beautiful, and Kodi looked so cute in her dress she made me teary eyed. She is getting so big so fast. So is Degan, I tried to cuddle with him this morning and he took up my whole torso. Is it possible to keep them a s they are? Am I asking to much? Oh well.

Update

Well the house has hit a stand still! Sonny is asking more for it! $329,000 is a lot of money. And banks are not really offering very good APR's to 1st time home buyers. Not happy about it, but hopefully it wont sell and they will have to take our price. We'll see. I know they want to get out of it. Keep your fingers crossed!

Fingers Crossed

O.K well here's the skinny! We are trying to buy a house! Can you believe it. We just started the paper work! It's Sonny's house on Douglas Street in Yucaipa! It's so cute and has an apartment on the property, witch we have already found some one to rent it for $1,000 a month! I am so excited! Bobby and I have started watching all the HGTV home improvement shows for cute ideas. Keep you fingers crossed for us! I'll keep you posted.

Some cute shots of Oregon!

Here we are enjoying the grandparents in Oregon. Thank you for having us Great Grandmas and Great Grandads!

We Love you!

Ok I have not blogged in a while, but in my defense I have been on Vacation in Oregon, and Bobby has Family in Utah down visiting! I know excuses... Blah blah blah... I know you all are forgiving though ;) Here are some updates on the family... Bobby: Working hard as usual. A little to hard... we have to cut Texas out of our vacation because he just can't take the much time of work. So he's hopefully going to be able to take time off in late September to make it out to Texas. Tiffany: Well I an doing fine. I finally think I have figured out how to be a mommy of two! It's not easy, but I am doing my very best, and I love them so much that it's worth every second. Good and bad. Kodi Lynn: I don't know if she can get any more girlie! All she want to do is play with her "Rella's" (Disney Princesses) and watch "Ayol" (Ariel the Little Mermaid). And trying to get her to wear anything other than a "pretty" (a dress) is a full on battle. Lately, Letti my sister-in-law has been giving the family a weekly challenge, and this week is reading to your kids one book every night, and she is love with the "New Baby Train" and "Do Princesses really Kiss Frogs". We are really enjoying the challenge. Degan: He is still quite the Chunk! He is giggling more than ever now and really trying to use those hands. He always has his hand in his mouth just gumming away on it. He is just getting so big to fast. Can you believe he will be three months on Wed. Well that the news on these Bowlers. I'll keep you posted on all the excitement!

Love you all!

Camping

This weekend we went camping with my Dad for Father's Day, at Camp Pandleton. It was Kodi's first camping trip, and Degan's first camping/beach trip. We had so much fun with them. So did Shannon, Sonny and Dad. I can't wait until Degan is old enough to crawl around in the sand and enjoy it as much as Kodi. He spent most of the time in his little tent. Kodi kept us all on our toes though. She loves to explore new places. Her favorite thing to do is take walks with Daddy, and Grandad! wich are the first two pictures. Then of her knocked out from Grandads walk. The last picture is in the morning, and the only one who is fed is Degan :) Notice the satisfied expression! And please don't ask how Degan stayed in the sling that way, I couldn't tell you. (Shannon if you are reading this remember to post your pictures with the kids they are so good!)

2 months Old

Degan had his 2 month check up on Monday, and he is doing great! Can you believe he is 2 months already? He's turning into quite the chunk too (13lbs. and 7oz.)! Which by the way is his nickname from Pops. Chunk! Kodi Lynn is Boog and Degan is Chunk (he he he). He is sleeping until 6 a.m. every day now which is awesome! Hopefully he'll add on another hour soon! He is smiling all the time and cooing more and more everyday.

Today was a hot one! We were outside doing yard work today, and finally got Kodi Lynn to run through the sprinklers. She's been afraid of them until today. And once she learned that it wasn't scary she had a blast! She jumped through the sprinklers, took drinks from it, and even tried to wash the grass off the sidewalk. She is probably going to live in her swim suit this summer. If I didn't have my post baby belly I probably would be too! Ha! Bobby had his on today and burned his back... ouch! Hope everyone stays cool this summer!

Hi Friends and Family

Hi everyone! This blog is for all of you. I want to keep everyone clued in to my kids lives, and what better way than to blog it. This way you can see what's going on with us, and hopefully you'll blog about what is going on with you and your family's lives. Happy Blogging, Tiffany
