Fun Weekend

On Thursday, Jade brought her girls into town to stay the weekend with the family. We had so much fun, although Tegan was a bit grumpy most of the time, I would love to do it again, sometime in the future! I am so glad Dakota was there to help me with the girls, she slept here as well so that I didn't have to wake up with both girls in the middle of the night! She was great! I think everyone is worn out, and I am sure Tegan will be so happy to see mommy tomorrow! I love my nieces, Jade feel free to drop em by anytime! haha
This weekend was sure funfilled and tiring! Kudo's to Jade though, for doing it everyday! She doesn't have a 2 month old to throw in though, so maybe it isn't as hard as I think it is! haha

I think Tegan and Alexa look played out!

Love my girls like they were my own!

Addison looks ready for bed! Nite nite!

Jumpin Already?

Ok, I am no expert, but I think 2 months is a little early for a jolly jumper! But Lexi took right to it, she absolutely loves it! She is just too strong for her own good, already able to bounce on her own and hold herself up to sit in it! She is my little monster baby! Shes so cute!

It looks like she is being eaten by it she is so small in there!

Alexa's nightmare

Well this is Alexa writing, and I just want to share with you a nightmare I had last night:



Mom was holding me and Aunty Dakota was holding Tegan and the next thing I knew Tegan grabbed me and came towards me mouth WIDE open and eyes closed tight, she was coming to eat me. Mom and Dakota did nothing but laugh, and grandma started snapping pictures. I could do nothing but scream, hoping I would wake up, but I never did, it was then I realised my nightmare was no nightmare at all!



Sheesh Tegan, get a chew toy! haha

Dedication and Love: I Give Both

Today Alexa was dedicated. I almost cried when everyone stood up and promised to stand by me as I pledged before God and the church to raise her in God's ways and to protect her from all evil. Thanks everyone for being there for me as Alexa and I start our journey together in a new life. Putting my old life behind me and pressing forward to a new and exciting journey with my beautiful angel. I cannot believe I have this precious life to raise. God placed her in my trusting care, and I just hope I never let him down. She truely is an amazing gift and I do not really think I deserve it, but seeing as I already have her, I am going to do my best now to protect her. I know God will be there 100% of the way to pick up where I lack in the form of an amazing family and wonderful friends!

This little outfit was given to me from Jessica, my good friend and her mom for Alexa's birth, and she finally fits into it! "Thank Heavens for Little Girls" ! I truely do thank heaven for this little girl! She kinda looks a bit amish in the hat though! haha

First Valentines!

So valentines was yesterday, and usually I hate the day, but I decided to get some presents for my mom and two little sisters, and it kinda made me feel good for the rest of the day! Then Dakota came over with 3 pink roses for me and a red rose for Lexi! Her very first valentine! She loves the rose, although she did try to eat it!

So I decided to do a little photo shoot with her and her new rose! She seemed to have a lot of fun, as did I! I love spending time with my little angel! Hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I do!

oooh color! haha

All the fun tired my angel out!

Birthday!

Well today was the big day! I turned 22, a day that I thought I would never see! But it came and now it is gone, and somehow I don't feel like I think I should feel as a new mother and 22 year old woman. I am not as grown up as I thought I would be when I reached this pinnacle time in my life.

When I was a kid, I imagined I would be married and living on a ranch with horses and dogs and cats, and a big barn, and I think I was a little too dramatic in thinking that would ever happen to me!

I guess life never turns out the way we want it too. Maybe as humans we think too much, and we should just leave the worrying of life up to God. I think I need to relax in his arms a bit, and start to rely on him more. I need to realise that I can't push him to bring someone into my life. I need to wait and on God's time someone will come. Which I think is the hardest thing to do as a young single mother. Wait for a prince charming to come, when maybe I missed the boat because I was too busy walking my own path and stumbling downhill, and God was showing him to me, but I just couldn't see cause I was going downhill too fast!

But then I stop and notice the beautiful things God has done in my life. He has rescued me from a life of sin and given me the most precious gift (the life of my beautiful daughter) and has set me on a rock to save me from the thrashing waves I was drowning in. Sometimes I feel the waves are climbing up the rock to claim me again, but I just sit back and know that my life is now safe in the hands of my almighty saviour. My daughters too, and together we will stand strong in any storm with God by our side! Maybe life isn't too bad after all! And hopefully with my aging process I become wiser and more spiritually and physically mature!

Ok, now to show off a few of the beautiful items I got for my birthday!

These are the beautiful UGG clogs that my mom and Dante and Dakota and Jase got me! They also got me $50 gift certificates to the CO-OP! I love these clogs, they are so warm and fuzzy!

These are the flowers that Erin got me, gorgeous pink lilies. I think these are the kind of lilies I am going to have at my wedding. If I ever get married! lol They are just too beautiful, God truely is the greatest artist!

This is the gift that Jessica got me. She is one of the best friends I have in Tumbler! She is just so thoughtful, but we rarely see each other, and it is sad, because I would love to see her and hang out way more often!

Well that was not all I got for my birthday, Trent and Colette got me a gift certificate for itunes, and a beautiful pic of Alexa and I the day after she was born, and Bern and Dale got me some beautiful homemade jewlery, which i will put pics of on later!

Lifes lookin up!

Fun with Cousins!

This is a cute current picture of Jade and my daughters! They are so cute together, although Alexa refuses to look at a camera! If you are wondering why Alexa is half naked and Tegan is kinda 1/4 naked, it's because Jade and I were changing their diapers, and decided to snap some pics while they were being so well behaved! I can't believe Alexa is so big! She is almost caught up to Tegan!

I need to go get her weighed tomorrow and then I will post how much she weighs for everyone who really cares! ......hmmm..... I think I may be the only one! hahaha Oh well she is my daughter after all!

Her and Tegan are going to be best friends! I can see it in them already. Do you not agree?
