Coincidence

If you read both of our blogs, no we did not plan this! But as you can see Sally and I are both fans of 'Friends'.

To see what I'm talking about check out my post below and then go to Sally's blog by clicking here.

'Friends' Fans

"I'm Chandler Bing. Could I BE wearing any more clothes?"

Laundry day always turns into dress-up and I just had to take a picture. What can I say? The girl loves her clothes!

My Girls

It's been a while since I've posted any pictures. First, I just don't take very many, and second I just don't think about it. My time is occupied with other things....like having two kids. So, here are a few pictures from the last week or two. Daddy with his girls. Funny note about this picture: Chris got Ava dressed from a pile of clean clothes I had on the floor. I came in to the room as he was putting her shirt on and just had to laugh. The "shirt" he put on Ava is actually Sadie's dress!)
Sadie smiling at the toys on her floor gym.
When Ava was Sadie's age she hated baths. She screamed at every bath until she was 6 months old. Now she loves them. The other day she was in the bath for an hour!
Sadie always looks so serious. This time I think it's because she wasn't really happy about being in the swing.
Whenever Sadie is on her bouncer, Ava wants to sit on it too so I have to watch her closely. Sometimes she'll sit on top of her. This time I was able to help her and put Sadie on her lap.
The girls are both doing good. Poor Sadie has a bad cold, but we are going to the doc tomorrow for her two month check up so I'll have them check her out. Other than that we are all well. Ava still gets a bit jealous when mom and dad are holding baby, but can you blame her?

Pear Blossom Here I Come!

Today officially begins my preparation for the 10 mile Pear Blossom Run.

In April 2010, several of my family members and I are all participating in the annual Pear Blossom Run held each year in my hometown of Medford, OR. Somehow my sister convinced me to join in. I've had to wait to start training because of the whole having a baby thing, but today I have officially begun. And I am SO proud of myself that I just had to blog about it! Although I didn't run the enire way I still did good. I ran 1 mile, walked 1/2 mile, then ran 1 more mile. Pretty dang good for my first day if you ask me!

Why Me?

I've lost my camera. Yesterday we went to the county fair's Demolition Derby and when we came home it was without the camera. I've searched everywhere and called the fairgrounds but it's gone. And do you know the first thing I thought when I realized it was gone? "Why Me?!!!" Why does this always happen to me? I lose something, I forget something, I break something. It's about time for someone else to screw up!

**UPDATE: I can't tell you how many times Chris has said to me "I can't find it" or "I didn't see it" and then I walk right up to where I said it would be and what do you know! There it is! Well this time it happened to me. Chris came home tonight and went right to where he thought it would be, a place I had already looked, and there it was! Boy do I feel like a dummy! I'm glad he found it though! Now you can see our awesome Demolition Derby pictures!

Congrats Krista & Kenny

My baby sister Krista got married last week! I can't believe it. Even though she's only two years younger than me I still feel like she's 14. But she's not. She's a beautiful grown woman. And here are a few pictures from the wedding. Friday Morning, getting ready for the big day! Sally did hair while I did make-up.
And this was pretty much how the week went for me. Unless I was nursing her, someone else usually had Sadie so I could take care of Ava. Here she is with Aunt Natalie while we get Krista ready.
This was my other babysitter, Sofie. She is a family friend who was visiting from Sweden and she was always my go-to babysitter. She was really great with both Sadie and Ava.
And here's the happy couple! The ceremony was great and they both looked amazing. I am so happy for them both!
And I love this picture because I think Krista just looks absolutly gorgeous!
Congratulations guys! Before you know it you'll be celebrating ten years!
