Time to Catch Up

It's been forever, and it's felt like I have been a mom for a minute. I am always growing with the girls and I am so amazed by them and their own little personality. I love their kisses and hugs. I need to enjoy those as they are plentiful. I am sure one day, they won't be so free giving. I love my girls and my husband. They make me so happy. Kaaja is blooming into a well rounded little girl excited by life.

She loves to make cakes with her aunt Sheylly and she goes all out. Sheylly as you may know is attending The Arts Institute for Pastry. I think she said. But she is making some good cakes now.

Chunks is growing up very quickly. I can't even remember her as a baby, she is so smart. She can navigate that IPAD like no one's business. She knows what game she wants and even if she wants to take pictures. That's her domain. My girls are very technology savvy.

She is just so spoiled with love, she loves being the baby and she adores getting all the attention. She is my little chunk monster.

My girls are night and day, I tell everyone. One is my princess and the other is my eater. They are both sweet little girls and precious gifts from heaven. I thank my heavenly father for them every moment I can.

Even though my kaaja is all about dressing up and being a girl, Mahly follows her everywhere and does everything her sister tells her. I am kind off amazed that she is only 1 year old and can understand her older sister and play like a big girl. They were best friends up in heaven for sure.

My little Kaaja loves her Tia Sheylly. They both act the same age at times.

My two biggest gifts.

Busy Busy

The month of July is always the busiest for me, we are a super crazy family when it comes to the 4th of July festivities and Pionner Day's parade. So excited. My Kaaja is old enough to just love fireworks and balloons, and BBQ and Parades and more fireworks, wohoo! and then there is hikes with dad and nap time during that hike.

Don't expect my house to always be clean, as much as i try it doesn't stay that way. I have crazy Mahly now crawling and pulling and hitting things. She is too cute though. I love those rolls. I will miss them when she starts walking and thins out.

Then of course we have the typical run in's where Kaaja loves her Caillou and refuses to take her nap but when mom steps away and comes back, and finds her taking her nap on the chair. That's darling too.

We enjoy our outings with Grandma Jacobberger too.

Summer..Maybe a little bit of Winter???

Our Utah weather has been so random lately, we don't know if it's Spring, Summer or Winter at times ;)
We have been busy and trying to make sure that the girls are always doing something. If it isn't camping in Zion National Park or in the mountains cooking or the park ;)

Kaaja is always with her cousin, they are best friends for sure. This is our goal. We want to make sure that they are always together. Growing up in my family, we never used the words "cousin, uncles, aunt, grandpa" we didn't have anyone. So we always make sure we are all together on weekends, wether we are DI hopping or eating out, or just cooking. We are usually together.

My Mahly is starting to grow up and I can start seeing "kid" actions from her. She will say "yaya" which is short for her sister "Kaaja", and she will also say "Mama, Dadda" and everyone now and then she will throw in "Que" which is "What" in spanish. She will only crawl if its towards someone to pick her up and she will crawl toward me usually crying. She will never crawl happily.

We went up to Mount Timpanogos, just to have a BBQ out there, and the water was so high, but we had fun just hanging up there and seeing all the  beautiful sorroundings. We are so lucky to live in this state with such wonderful mountains.

We went up there with my mom and aunt. We had fun.

While my aunt was being "Curious George" she slipped. Good thing she was okay.

The next new thing we just did, was Madison's Birthday. She turned 3 years old!!! She was so cute, and my Mahly also partied like a CHUNK ;)) she got a ring pop and sucked on it and got all her  saliva over herself, that's why she is all shiny, i had to go and bathe her.



Happy Mothers Day!!!

I count my blessings everyday with my little Angels like these. I thank my heavenly father that he loves me enough to entrust me with these little gems from heaven.

My little Kaaja is my little independent grown up. She loves to drive and enjoys doing things all on her own. You may not help her. She will be quick to tell you "I can do it".

You can kind of see this, but it's Josiah pulling a cart that has a chair on top of the cart and Kaaja the princess sitting on it. Josiah took Kaaja out for a walk in Cottonwood Heights.

This is a closer view, it was super cute.

It was also my birthday and we got to have some cake at home. Kaaja really enjoyed it.

She loves cakes and we have been celebrating her birthday for the past 4 months now, her actual birthday is Sept but she has been celebrating it a little early.

Little Mahly has been trying to crawl and Kaaja tries to encourage her and everyone tries to get Mahly to come to them but she really won't. She will just sit there and smile at you and wait for you to pick her up.

My little Mahly is my little sweet angel. She is the best baby i know of. She will not ever make a fuzz nor ever embarrass you in public. She is the best behaved baby ever and she loves everyone usually.

Too much fun. Our house is always full of toys everywhere. Yes this is the daily stage of our house. Our girls rule our 4 walls right now and soon we will take control again ;) But for now, they are the queens.

This is my beautiful family that i am so proud off. Love you!!! Happy Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day everyone!!!

My Girls

I love the gift of being a mom and i know that all my friends feel the same about their little precious angels that they have as well. My little Mahly is growing like a weed and Kaaja is just running around in circles in my head. My Kaaja can now distinguish words in spanish and english. She can count to 20 in spanish and working on it in English. She adores Dora the Explorer and plays with her cousin "Swipper no Swippe" and then you hear Madison say "Oh Man" haha and they laugh.

Mahly will now laugh and play with Kaaja, they hold hands and play the kissing game where Kaaja will kiss her and Mahly will turn her head and laugh and Kaaja laughs, it's the cutest thing to watch. So funny. Mahly is spoiled. She loves to be held, she is the best baby ever, she will not cry, she will reverantly stay in your arms and not say a peep as long as you are holding her.

She is the funniest little girl. Lots of chubbs in that baby.

I have boughten so many umbrellas for Kaaja, it's insane! They break because someone will play and play with them and it's chaos.

Oh yes and Barbies. They seem to be every where as well. Cinderella is her favorite ;)

Time to Reflect

I can't believe how much things have changed from one year to another. I am always grateful to those that make those changes positive ones as life progresses, specially family. I look back and see my Kaaja and Mahly and I am thankful for all my blessings. Here are some fun pictures i found.

Kaaja is more tanner and Madison is no longer chubby! haha I will always call her "Gorda" because she was so fun and cute!

Josiah had a 2010 Birthday and Kaaja is no longer on a bottle, Teddy no longer has long hair and now is one of the strongest men i know, literally ;) Mr, Jr Muscle Man ;)

Ben and Debs are now in California and not Arizona anymore, wohoo!! So we get to see them more! and little Kaaja loves her Aunt Deborah and Uncle Ben's horses.

We had a successful flight to Miami in the airplane in 2008, wohoo. Little Kaaja was awesome!

Little Lannaea is no longer a chub either, she is a beautiful little girl and Kaaja really likes her, and asks me for her all the time, even though she really only played with her once.

And my Kaaja was so cute! Those little chubby cheecks and those little legs i miss so much! But to hear her counting in spanish and english and babbling to her cousin is priceless.
 Now i have a new baby and i love and adore her! My Mahly is a jewel from heaven. A complete opposite from Kaaja in all aspects. It's light night and day. I often think of Claudia and Leah, they were night and day physically and mentally. But still sisters. So i think of those days fondly, and i think of my girls.

This is my slobbery princess Mahly. She is my doll. She is a sweetheart. Loves anyone that holds her and plays with her. She is a angel from heaven. I look forward to all the memories with her and thank my heavenly father for my girls.
To 2011 and more memories to come ;)
