Happy Birthday Amalee!

Amalee turned 4 yesterday! I woke her up by just saying Happy Birthday! She woke up with a smile on her face and very excited! She got 5 new books and her daddy got her play make-up and nail polish!

Just a couple pics of Amalee painting Maggie's toes and her own toes!

She is growing up so fast! I can't believe I already have a 4 year old!

Zoo Trip!

On Monday my mom called and asked if I wanted to go to the zoo. We go pretty often as the days cool down. My mom has a membership which is really nice. We all get in free for the year! As the weather gets nicer we will probably go about once a week. So there will be a ton of zoo pics!

It was a great day to go to the zoo. All the animals were out! Even the Lions and Tiger. They are usually laying down where the kids can't see them but this time they were walking around!

So here are just a couple cute pics. The girls have fun with all the statues.

Silly Girls!!!

My little Amalee a little mommy all the time! I love that she wants to be a mom just like me. She put a doll under her shirt and said " mommy see my baby!"

I love her little pose too!

Side view! To show her "pregnant" belly!

Sorry for the naked bottom:)

Maggie is also so silly! She was trying to put her shorts back on. She got her legs in the right holes but, they are upside down! She is so cute!

Maggie trying to pull the shorts up. But they are still upside down!

My girls were having a fun night playing together and dancing. I love that they are friends and play so well together. They love pretending to be little mommies with their babies, they love dancing and falling down laughing. I have such sweet little girls!

Belly Pics!

Maggie is my little sweetheart! She comes up to me all the time, pulls up my shirt, and kisses my belly! On Sunday she wanted to sit on the couch with me and when I sat her down she laid on my belly giving Dallin lovies. I thought it would make a cute picture!

Just a quick update... I already weight as much as I did when I had both Amalee and Maggie. I kept a string that I measured my belly with when I was pregnant with Maggie and I'm already that big. I just hope this means my little boy is bigger than my petite girls. I have just over 2 months left and I'm sure it will go fast! We are so excited to see what our little boy looks like. I tell everyone that I'm not quite ready to have another baby. He is easier to take care of in my belly then out... no diapers, no middle of the night feedings, and no crying. So as long as I get to see what he looks like he can stay in me forever! I think this is the most excited Abram and I have been to see what our little boy is going to look like. I didn't really think about that with our girls. As long as they were health I was happy!

Isn't she sweet!

Strawberry Fun!

This past weekend we went to Grandma Carrie's Cabin with some on my family (Spier). My mom was wonderful... She cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Biscuits and gravy one day and Pancakes w/homemade syrup the next. It was awesome. She also made dutch oven stew for dinner. On Friday after we unpacked our stuff in the cabin we headed down to fossil creek. We had tinfoil dinners down there and played in the water!

Abram had fun with the girls in the "frothy" water! Amalee was cold and ready to get out.

Maggie was having fun holding onto the rope and letting the water move her around!

Just a cute picture of our family!

The next 3 pictures are of our lifesavers. They helped us with our girls so much. We couldn't have done this trip without them!

Matt and Julie

Sara and Booly(nickname)

On Saturday we hiked to Fossil Springs. This is where our lifesavers helped so much! Matt carried Maggie most of the way down and part of the way back up. This hike was a little over 4 miles. Since we had our girls it took about 2 hours to hike in and over 3 hours to hike out. Booly and Sara helped so much with Amalee. They carried her down most of the way and kept her mind off of walking the whole was up. Amalee was such a trooper. She walked all the way up except for the really rocky parts. My mom Booly and Sara would take turns carrying her.

My mom was so sweet too! She took my pack from me so that I wouldn't have such a hard time. I don't think I will ever do this hike again pregnant.

Taking a break from walking!

I like these kind of walking pics!

The first part of the hike back up my mom had Maggie on her back in her backpack. Maggie fell asleep and then Matt took her for a while. Abram had Maggie for about the last mile and a half.

She is having so much fun!

Thank you all again for all your help. We had a blast and hope to do it again!

Muddy Day!

Abram had a fun day doing something he loves to do! We started the day with a mud volleyball tournament. They lost the first match but ended up winning the rest of their games and became the champions of the tournament!

The "Spiker's" (Brent, Kevin, Bethany, Emmalee, Abram, Stacia, and Chris)

What they looked like after the first game. They got muddier as the games went on!

Abram receiving the winnings! $100 gift card to Uncle Bears Restaurant.

After they won Abram let the girls play in the mud!

Amalee and Maggie in the Human car wash!

The first two video's are at Monsoon Madness. Abram cleaning off in the human car wash and Abram having fun going on a fire hose slip and slide! He said that this day was one of the funnest he has ever had!

Our ward had a swim party and Abram had Amalee jump off the diving board! She loved it and kept wanting to do it again and again!

I have a wonderful hubby!

I have the best husband! For the last couple of weeks we have been sanding down and painting Abram's old bunk bed for the girls! I didn't want to buy another toddler bed and mattress. I was looking online for a new bunk bed but Abram likes to make old things new! I thought this bed was ugly but once we painted it white and put it up in the girls room I think it looks really nice! Abram did most of the work because I didn't want to be out in the heat.

I tried to help a little but Abram has more muscle and was able to sand the wood faster.

This is our finished bed with our sweet little Amalee on top! She got to pick out her own sheets! She picked cute ones with hearts!

Amalee is looking down at Maggie! We tried to get Maggie smiling but she just wanted to go up top with her big sissy. We had to keep telling her no. I don't want her falling off.

This is just one more reason I have the best hubby! After dinner tonight I came into the computer room and he cleaned the kitchen and then surprised me with this wonderful ice cream sundae! It was the best one I have ever had! When he walked in with it he set it on the desk then gave me a back rub! I love you Honey!
