~Monthly Memories~

~August~

I can't believe August is over. We had one busy month and have another coming up.

  ::Kimberly::

01. Her favorite color is Red

02. She has decided she wants to grew out her bangs

03. She loves helping mommy with projects

04. She went through a little phase were she didn't want to go to bed. She would make excuses like "I don't feel good", "I don't want the dragon to get me", "You woke me up" (even though she hadn't fallen asleep yet). She has been doing better lately.

05.She loves having friends over or going to see friends. She asked every night before bed "who we going to see?" (she wants to know who we are going to see the following day)

06. She loves playing with her baby sister.

07. Cut with scissors for the first time and loves it.

08. Starting to pretend (I love listen to what she come up with)

09. Went to the Olympic park in Park City for the first time. Her and her daddy climbed up to the top of the bob sled. She talks about it all the time. "mommy did you know I went up to the top of the mountain!?"

10. Hasn't been eating really well.

11. Loves going to the library but she plays more than looks at books. 

12. Went to church for the first time. Did ok but kept asking for me in Nursery so they brought her back to me. Hopefully next time she will like it and stay.

 ::Kimberly Funnies::

Me- "Kimberly should we make daddy pancakes or french toast for his birthday breakfast?" Kimberly- "Cake!" (Looks around) "French fries". Me- "close"

Kimberly says to me after putting her baby by the time out chair. "I'm playing I find her  with baby" (hide and seek) she then counts "1...2...3...! ready or not come get me" then looks around "where is that baby!" 

::Ali::

01. Got Blessed

02. Moved into her crib

03. When I lay her on the ground she ends up turning her self in a circle. She starts with her head one way and ends up with her head the opposite way. I think she is going to be a mover.

~4 Month Stats~

Took Ali to her 4 month check up. Here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 9 oz- 47 %

Length: 24.75 inch- 68%

Head: 16.7 inch- 86 %

She did so good at her appointment and only cried while they were giving her, her shots. As soon as I picked her up she stopped. She is such a good baby and is getting so big. Kimberly was also good at the doctors. She brought her baby and asked the doctor to check  her baby. He was really good with it and did everything to her baby that he was doing to Ali. Then she got a sucker and sticker! Next visit will be Kimberly's 3 year (WHAT!!!!) and Ali's 6 month together. Can't wait to see how big Kimberly is getting.

~Alexandria's blessing~

On Saturday August 18th we blessed our baby girl Alexandria. It was a beautiful day and everything went very well. We had quite a few family members there. Maga and Papa, Keesha, Jarryn, and Lexi, Kylee, Kenzi, Grandma Patti and Pa, Grandpa Jared, Great Grandma and Grandpa Bingham, My uncle Bryan, and his three girls (Emily, Shannon, and Rebecca). My Grandpa Bingham blessed Ali and he gave her a very special blessing. Ali was a little stinker during the blessing and cried the whole time. After we had a nice BBQ and was able to visit with everyone.

My mom (Maga) made Ali her blessing dress, Shoes, and Headband. I was so happy when I asked her and she said she would do it. It turned out better than I could have thought. It meant so much to me and will mean so much to Ali. Thanks again Maga.

Grandma Patti gave Ali a locket just like the one she gave Kimberly at her blessing. I love them so much. It is so cute how small they are. I need to add a picture to them (If I can get one small enough!)

My mom also made the blanket when Ali was born!

My two beautiful babies.

My Grandpa Bingham and baby Ali.

Yesterday I put Ali back in her dress to get some more pictures. Trying to get one of her smiling, but all she wanted to do is eat her dress or her hands. Silly girl!

Kimberly loves her baby sister.

We also shared the day with Kaydence and Kamden. My grandpa Bingham blessed Kamden and My Uncle Bryan blessed Kaydence. It was fun having them there to share the day. 

Danielle, Justin, Lori and Kim (Justin's parents), and Alicia (Justin's sister) was there.

Such a cute little family. 

Kaydence was being a little stinker and didn't want any pictures but this one at least has all four of them in one picture. We have some pretty cute kids!!

Ali and Kamden (Our sweet babies)

Thank you again for everyone that join and supported us on this special day.

~City Creek~

I can't remember what day we went but a few weeks ago Danielle and I decided to load up the kids and ride Traxx down to City Creek. I had never been there before and wanted to check it out. The girls had so much fun on the train. We almost took up a whole section with both our train strollers (double strollers). It was a fun day, I liked City Creek but I don't think I will go there much.
