Lisa often reminds of how i've been slacking as a blogger so here are some pictures that will appease some of you while i try to find time to blog for reals :)

Cece's blessing day

We blessed Cece in October and since General Conference was the week before, we were able to go down to utah and go to conference with my family and then have my parents come up to Idaho later in the week. Aunt Diana and Katya also came, which was so sweet of them :) and here are the pictures!

Here are some random pictures.

Smiling Cece!!

Some funny things the girls have been doing lately:

Juliet story #1

Juliet walked past me the other night before bedtime and tooted. Tim asks her if she tooted and she says, "the mommy!" Little stinker! Trying to blame it on me!

Juliet story #2

Juliet has had a recent fascination with women's bodies. Apparently she has grabbed Sam before, and yesterday I was sitting in the back seat of the car when she just squeezed me! It's kind of funny, but a little awkward since she's getting older all the time! She also saw Sam changing Calvin's diaper at our house and when the diaper came off Juliet went "Whoa!" hahahahaha!

Juliet is constantly putting things in her hair and I have some great pictures of it! I will be posting those soon!

Cece is soooo cute! She is very smiley and laughs at Tim all the time. She is still a great sleeper at night, but we are working on her daytime naps.

Last night we went to the employee christmas sale at the school bookstore. the girls got a picture with santa and i got a signed book by jack weyland :)

well, not much left to say. next time, pictures!

bleh

i don't want to blog :( but certain people are getting antsy so here i go.

juliet is adorable! she loves tangled and loves the part where they are singing with the thugs and ruffians hahaha. she'll stand in front of the tv and sing, "a dweam, a dweam, a dweam." and lately she has been talking A LOT. she describes everything she is doing or what we are doing. she likes to say that she is taking "big steps!" and that daddy is at "wooork." she is surely becoming a picky eater and it drives me crazy! but i've been trying to put her in her seat more so that seems to be helping a little bit. she also had 3 play dates this week, which was very fun for her!

cece is great! she pretty much does what a normal baby does: eat, sleep, poop, repeat. her schedule is changing but it's a lot harder to figure out since i have juliet to take care of. since she sleeps so well at night i think her morning nap is getting pushed a little further but it's hard for me to remember some days. she is very smiley and juliet loves to make her smile :)

tim got another job working at the salt lake express again. it's pretty awesome and he has some great hours right now. he's pretty much the best ever and helps me out so much. his mom is coming next week and we are VERY excited. it'll be nice to have someone around while tim is at work.

i'm just hanging out. you know, taking care of two kids all day. two kids that don't nap at the same time. but i do love spending my days with my girls :) oh, and i have recently discovered "pinterest." it's amazing and i've already done some of the crafts and recipes that i have found from it. you should all try it.

well, that's all i can think of right now. i really don't look at blogs as much as i used to, and i don't even facebook that much anymore. juliet and cece just keep me too distracted....and pinterest. but i'll try to do better :) and maybe next time i'll have pictures!

Today

This is how today went:

Juliet waking up too early

Juliet and Cece being fussy at the same time while Tim goes to his second job

Juliet and Cece then taking an early nap (which finally led to me being able to take a nap!)

Cece and Juliet wake up and Juliet is fussy again

Sam offers to watch the kids so Tim and I can go shopping

WalMart lady telling me they have stretchy pants because she assumes I'm pregnant

Come home to what would seem like a happy Juliet, only to find out she really is still fussy

I try to distract two crying kids while Tim makes dinner

Stub my toe while holding Cece so I start to cry

Finally get kids quiet and we have pancakes for dinner

Tim pours a very large glass of OJ and I tip it over

Juliet starts to cry

Cece starts to cry

I attempt to clean up the mess

Juliet gets a bath and then has to get out early because she is splashing too much

Juliet is fussy

Juliet goes to bed at 6:45

Cece falls asleep

Tim goes out and gets us dinner

We eat dinner and now Tim is cleaning up the rest of the kitchen while I blog :)

Last night I decided that it was cold enough to get out a bigger blanket. I asked Tim to help me shake it out and look at it since we'd had some issues with spiders lately. He says we don't need to because it was up on a high shelf in the closet. I was like, "really? spiders can crawl into high places." Then we both just happened to look up at our ceiling and what did we see?! That's right! A spider! We started to laugh, but then I made him kill it because he made that silly conclusion that spiders don't climb.

"A" Parking

Yesterday Tim and I went up on campus to get his "A" parking pass. Big deal for us! It is the most coveted pass. Anyway, we get there and the lady asks him which pass he wants, free or south parking. Tim says, "I want A." She looks at him and says, "Hahaha, ok well which one do you want free or south?" Tim says, "I want A." AGAIN she asks him, "OK which parking do you want?" Finally Tim explains to her that he really does want "A" parking and that he qualifies for "A" parking because he is faculty and tells her to look at his I-Card. Hahahahahaha. I guess she didn't expect someone with such a young and pretty wife to be a faculty member :)
