crafty

So I made a goal a while ago to do crafts/art projects with Jefrie a couple times a week (I have been inspired by my friend Valerie and her cute blog-  http://toddlerboredombusters.blogspot.com/  ) and well I finally did it this week.  :-)  yeah!  

Monday Jefrie made these cute little pumpkins for her grandparents. 

Jefrie loved painting!!!! 

 She just had to wear her glasses while painting.  lol

 Today we decorated her cute little bag since she absolutely loves carrying bags/purses.  It was one of those 'Deco your own tote' crafts.  She did such a good job!

Friday we are going to do ghosts!  Im so excited!  Eastyn is going to participate in that one so it should be fun.  :-)

Roommates

So on monday, Eastyn had been sleeping through the night for a week and the last couple days has been waking up at 7, so I decided to finally put her into Jefrie's room. (she has been in our loft because she squeaks a lot in her sleep and it would wake me up every time)

 So while my cute little girls were occupied watching Cars, I cleaned Jefrie's room, set up the crib for Eastyn, and painted and rearranged the picture frames.   

The blank frames will be filled with their first year monthly pictures. 

 

Jefrie was so excited that Eastyn was going to sleep in her room with her.  the first 2 nights, Eastyn woke up at 6 and so Jefrie was up and wide awake then too, but this morning Jefrie got up at 7 before Eastyn woke up.  Hopefully we have more 7 o'clock morning in the future.

Black Bean, Corn, Feta Salsa

1 12-15 oz can white Corn, drained

1 15 oz can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
1 package feta cheese crumbles (3-4 oz)
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
4 tsp. White Sugar (to taste)
1 tsp. garlic powder (to taste)
1 Bag Tortilla Chips


Open feta cheese and crumble big chunks.  Combine beans, corn, feta, and onion in a medium mixing bowl. In a small bowl mix oil, vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder. Stir well.  Pour dressing in with bean mixture, stir well.  Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.  Serve with tortilla chips. 

Those darn shots

Eastyn just didnt have a very good day today.  She got 3 shots and pretty much slept or cried the whole rest of the day.  Poor little woman!

Our doctor was saying how everyone in the office just loves her name, so I told him the story of where we got it.    Aaron first just said the name when we were discussing names and I actually really liked it, but then he started laughing and said "its a jock strap company."   So I was totally against naming her that but then he said "just kidding, but it is a baseball equipment company." Now Dr. Yeash thinks her name is even cooler.  :-)  (he is a baseball fan too)

Here are Eastyn's stats:

9 lbs 10 oz - 21%

23 in. long - 76%

Eastyn's 2 months old!!

Happy 2 months baby girl!!!

Eastyn is such a happy baby just like Jefrie was.  I just love her little smiles. 

Jefrie is 20 months today!!!  I think its so cool they were both born on the 22nd.   This is a sweat shirt that I wore when I was a toddler.  She looks just like me....well with a little of Aaron mixed in anyway.

She is so silly!  I love seeing her laugh.

She fell asleep on the way home from church and I just had to take a picture.  I love the sunglasses with her puckered lips. 

bike ride

I love being able to ride my bike agian.  Its so relaxing and the kiddos enjoy it also. 

Eastyn's blessing

Eastyn Olivia was blessed last sunday in my grandparents ward in St. George.  We had a very nice reunion with the whole family and this was the weekend that worked best for almost everyone.

She cried when the meeting started but was great when it came time for her to be blessed.  Aaron gave her such a wonderful blessing.  I am so thankful for a wonderful husband that holds the priesthood and is able to bless our little ones and family.  I love you Aaron!!

 

Eastyn was so smiley when Jefrie was holding her, she loves her big sister.

This is how Jefrie walked into church, she is sooo stinkin cute!
