I just realized...

So I just realized that I have made this entire blog about Aubry and not so much about our family. So in order to rectify this oversight, I should tell you what is going on with all three of us. Chris, is working on getting transferred from work and getting his school credits transferred. He keeps me smiling and loves to play with Aubry. His specialty is making faces at her so she giggles. I am trying to keep the house clean and working on some sewing crafts with Lara. I took my sewing machine over to her house and we are both making things for the babies. Aubry is content to sleep in the swing while I type this. She didn't sleep very well last night and therefore I didn't. OH well. We are super excited to move in October and eventually buy a house, but I will miss my family.

I will miss them, but I do like to travel and I am hoping that they will feel free to come visit. Idaho has awesome camping sites and I am looking forward to tons of camping!!! I will post some pictures of us, cause I just realized that we have no family pictures of ourselves so that is also my goal for the week=)

3 Month Pictures

Aubry was watching Dallin and wouldn't look at us.

She wasn't into smiling, but glaring.

A rare smile.

So I went to Lara's house yesterday so we could finally take Aubry's 3 month pictures. It went pretty well. She smiled sometimes and did some cute faces. I also took my sewing machine over there and we are going to do some projects in the coming weeks. I am pretty excited about these cute pictures and I am going to print some out and send them to the grandparents=) So we have picked out weekend moving date. The second weekend in October and we will move to Boise. I am so excited and nervous about moving. It's been two years since we last moved and I am hoping that this move will be one of the last ones. I want to settle down as a family and focus on them for the next couple of decades. I really want to thank Lara for taking the time and getting such cute pictures.

PS. Krysta you had better post some pictures of your vacation!!

Baby Aubry

So Aubry is officially 3 months old as of last Friday. I was hoping to get to Lara's house to do pictures but Chris needed the car so we are heading over there tomorrow for some pictures and crafting. I am also hoping that Lara can take a nap while I watch the kids cause I know how much I needed one when Aubry was still small. In fact, I still need one, but decided to take this rather rare opportunity to blog. Me and Chris were watching a movie and I was also listening to my Zune and Aubry fell asleep in my arms without screaming about it. A welcome relief, as the I am becoming hard of hearing on my right side. So I downloaded the pictures me and Chris took of her on Friday and I am going to recount some of the things that me and Aubry do all day.

Aubry usually wakes up at about 2am every morning to be fed and then we go back to sleep usually to about 630am. Then another eat and up again at 8 or 9 then another sleep to 10ish. Then we get up and have breakfast for mama, and I check our farm on facebook cause she really likes watching the computer screen. Then I try and get some house work done, which never happens, (we live in perpetual filth, but at least there is food). Then Chris is home at 1245 and we greet him and then Aubry takes another nap hopefully. But then the feedings and naps go off schedule but in a perfect world, Aubry takes her nap with Chris. Then if we don't get Aubry a nap at 5 or 6 she can't fall asleep and will cry for hours cause she is so tired. But now that we know to look for tired signs after an hour of wakefulness, we are getting better about getting her to sleep earlier and we are enjoying a happier kid.

I wanted to let Lara know, that she should never feel guilty for having a hard time, cause no one else has is harder than yourself. We are each given exactly what we need and it's always hard. I always thought Lara had it easy, but she doesn't. And the same thing for everyone else. I know I have it as hard as it can be, cause if it was any harder, I wouldn't be here. So cheer up Lara and never feel like you don't have something to complain about, cause believe me, if I can complain with only one kid, you have every right to scream about two and so on when you have more.

Everyone Be Quiet

Okay, for the first time ever, Aubry has fallen asleep in her own bed and is still sleeping. Nobody say or make a noise. I am hoping this nap will last an hour or more. Cross your fingers and wish me luck.

Rolling Over...

The whole picture.

She makes the funniest faces.

Finally looking at the camera.

Hilarious. I about died laughing.

Once again proving that kids are a riot.

So Aubry rolled over on Thursday. Then she did it again today proving it wasn't a one time thing. I am so freakin' excited about it!! I called everyone and told them. I took a bunch of pictures of her during "tummy time" because all of a sudden she is pushing up with her arms and doing lots of stuff. In fact today we went out and bought her toys finally. She has a couple but mostly what other people have gotten her. We finally bought her some. I am so looking forward to her learning to crawl and what not. Now, if she could just sleep better at night, we would be okay.

Twelve Weeks

Aubry is twelve weeks old today. What a ride. In fact, I can't believe that she is almost 3 months old. I hope that soon she will sleep through the night and at least start being able to take naps by herself. Some of the milestones that she has hit have been to smile at everyone, she can lift her head and shoulders up off the ground in "tummy time" and she has awesome neck control. My mom got her a swing and it has been really helpful. When she is not crying I just put her in that and get stuff done. She is in it right now!! I had a couple of rough days when we were trying to sleep train her better, but then I decided that I would ease into it. She is still small and we have plenty of time.

Last week we went camping with the Godfrey Clan and had an amazing time. Aubry did so well and loved being outside. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted because I was holding her alot and then sleeping alot, but I did catch some of the family trying to dam the river so they could swim. Too bad the water was freezing. We also picked fresh raspberries and put them in our pancakes. It was so yummy!! I had tons of fun, but now we are getting our house put back together after tearing it apart packing. And a big announcement, we are definitely moving to Boise by October 13th. Sad, but true. We will miss Southern Nevada but not the heat.

The dam that they worked on.

Aubry's long sleeve onesies that I bought for the trip.

Chris made Aubry hug Chaos.

Mark, Chris, Craig, Laura, Jared working on the dam.

I will keep everyone posted on our moving situation and how Aubry is on learning to fall asleep by herself. So far so good. My first goal is to put her down next to me and have her fall asleep that way, instead of on my shoulders. Wish me luck!!
