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!

Family Vacation!

This is Mine and Abram's favorite picture of the girls. It was sweet seeing them having fun together and Maggie actually wanting to hold hands with her big sissy! She usually isn't a touchy person.

I need to learn how to put the pictures in order. The second pictures you see are of the second day of our vacation. We went to Strawberry and spent the night in Grandma Carrie's cabin. She is sure a sweet lady to let family use it! We went down to Fossil Creek and let the girls play in the water. They got so cold. The water is always moving so the sun doesn't have time to warm it up. We had a blast and wish we could have stayed longer!


This is Maggie just waking up. Abram takes cute pictures!:)



Amalee woke up really early and said she was hungury. I told her that I would be up in a couple of minutes. But, of course I wasn't so when I finally woke up at about 8:00 this is how I found her!


Someone at the creek was nice enough to as if we wanted a family picture and this is what we got. I think it turned out pretty good!


I just told Amalee if she wants her princee scooter that she had to smile for the camera! By this time she was ready to go. She was shivering a ton.


Just a very sweet picture of Maggie! She of course is ready to go and shivering a ton too!


This was the first day of our trip! We went to Out of Africa. It is up in Camp Verde, AZ. I like it a ton better then the zoo. You see the animals up close and they look 10 times healthier. They are always out playing. They have a show called Tiger Splash and the worker and Tigers swim and play together. They don't train the animals to do any tricks. The tigers are just playing! As you can see in the first picture the black bear is pretty close behind the girls.


This is Maggie at the Critter Court. She wasn't afriad of the snake at all:) One of the workers tell you about the animal and then they let everyone in to pet the animal.



This Maggie touching the snake. She was being so gentle. She just let the snake move under her hand!



Amalee wanted to swim with the tiger too! This picture is right after the show! Amalee was asking the owner of the park if she could go swimming too.


We went on a "safari trail" the zebera and giraffe come right up to the bus and you can feed the giraffe carrots and pet them!


Amalee was sitting at the front of the bus acting like a helper!





Abram and Maggie jumping into the creek! I asked Maggie if it was fun? She said "u-ha!"


We told Amalee if she would jump it to Daddy that she could have the Princess Scooter she had seen at Wal-mart. Of course she did it! Twice.





Cute video of us feeding the giraffe! Maggie even touched it's nose before the giraffe walked away!

Random Cuties!

Last weekend we went to California for my cousin's wedding. My brother Greg has casts on both his legs so he ended up watching all his sleeping nieces! Doesn't he look happy?


Today 06/19/2008 I finally gave it and gave the girls a popsicle. I hate messes so I try and aviod messy food at all costs. But don't they look cute?

Maggie just looked so comfy laying there so I just had to take a pic! I love her smile:)

Of couse if I take a pic of one little girl I have to take one of the other!
She is such a sweetie!

Maggie has the cutest smile she is such a clown!


Amalee has Maggie's shirt on her head. She really can make us laugh!

Just another cute picture of the girls with their popsicles!
