Zaden and mommy

I just love hanging out with Zaden!! His smile is so contagious. He is growing up so fast. The other day I was looking through our pictures and I came across pictures of Lea and Zaden when they were born. They were so little and delicate. Now they are getting so big and are able to play with each other (Zaden just stares at lea, but she likes to talk, touch, hit, and play with him). I love to snuggle with both them and sometimes when Zaden and I wait for lea to get up we just talk, cuddle and take pictures.

Cold weather

These past few weeks have been really cold here in Oregon. We've had little snow here and there. Last week, we had more than usual and Lea loved it. At first I didn't want her to go outside because she has a little cold, but I felt so bad not letting her enjoy it. So I bundled her up and we ant outside! She loved sticking her tongue out and having the snowflakes fall on it. She was so cute!!

Also because of the cold weather we had a water pipe brake in our garage on Sunday. Water started to come out of our power control panel and both sides of our home. Jason wasn't home when this happened, he was a church. I was able to get help from my neighbors and the firemen. It was a blessing that I stayed home with my sick kids  and was able to be here for it, if not, it could have been much much worse.

Getting our first real Christmas Tree

This past Saturday, we got our first real Christmas tree!! It was so exciting. Lea loved running around and looking through all the trees. Zaden just hung out in my arms. 

It was so fun bringing the tree home. We got a great deal on lights and ornaments on black friday so once we got home, we got right into decorating. We can't wait to do it again next year! 

Next year we'll probably get a taller one!

Lea's b-day party

A few months ago we decided that because family was going to be in town for Zaden's blessing, we also wanted to celebrate Lea's b-day with them. It was so much fun having all the cousins together!! I just loved seeing them interact with each other! Lea loved her party. I was a little worried about the weather because that whole week had been very humid, but Saturday turned out so beautiful and a little too hot for my liking. But that made the kids have so much fun!!! We had a slip n slide, a very little pool and Lea's new trampoline as a hit. All the kids loved jumping in it! (thank you nana).

 

Jason and I decided to give lea a tricycle for her birthday!! She loved it!!!

It is hard to get family all together and I feel so blessed that we were able to do so. Although Lea's b-day is not until the 16th, She had so much fun with everyone!!

30 weeks!!

I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone!! I only have a little less than 10 weeks to go and I'm getting very anxious. I feel like there is lots of do before he gets here; especially with our new home. Other than that, I've felt very good. Lea definitely keeps me busy. We are trying to talk to her a lot about being a big sister. She knows that I have a baby growing in my belly. She kisses it and touches it, but other than that I don't think she really has a full comprehension of what is going to happen. We got her some "Big Sister" books, put she rather read other ones... She'll get it eventually!!

Home!!!

We put an offer on a home and after going back and forth a few times,  it was accepted!!! The closing date is June 25th. We are so excited!! Jason and I are truly grateful for his parents and how much they have helped us through this process. The home is exactly what we wanted. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a separate family and living room (That's something that I really wanted). Yesterday, we had the inspection and I was able to take some pictures of the inside of the home. There is some work that needs to be done to the inside and outside, but we are really excited to make it our own. Here is a sneak peak of the Home!-- Some picture might be blurry.

The Home sits on a flag lot, so there is lots of privacy
