Pics w/ santa

We got our pictures with Santa (aka Aaron) today thru Fotofly.  It was only a 5 minute sesson but it was really nice because the girls stayed happy.  lol  When we walked in the room Eastyn started to cling to me because there where 2 other santas in the room but when she saw her daddy dressing up she calmed down.  Jefrie was just so excited about having daddy be santa and getting pictures done.

Updates on our cute lil family

So a lot has happened since last post.  Aaron got a job up in Salt Lake City so we packed up and moved....again.  Its been very nice having Aaron love his job and him coming home happy.  I dont like that I had to leave my mom again but she is only 4 hours away and we are by Aaron's family and my aunt and cousins.   :-)  The transition has been rough with the girls.  Eastyn is finally sleeping through the night again. It could have been because of her teething (all 4 molars and a canine) but im just glad she is sleeping again.  We are staying with Aaron's family for a little while and Im dreading when we move again how the girls will do.  Jefrie says, "i wanna go home"  every once in a while and its just breaks my heart.  But anyway other than that things a going well.  :-)

 Jefrie got to make cookies with my aunt Terri

 She had so much fun with the kid size baking tools.

 Eastyn kept herself busy with all the "new things" while Jefrie baked.

 This is a picture of Jefrie's new haircut.  Its soo cute when I round brush it under. (its just air dried in this pic)

 My mom came up for me to cut and color her hair and this is the only picture i got with her in it.  I will have to be better about picture taking next time she comes up.  We were at aunt Terri's house again and Jefrie loved holding baby Ryan

 Eastyn loved playing in his car seat.  lol

 We had breakfast with Santa yesterday at our church and I thought Jefrie was going to be the one that wouldn't sit on Santa's lap and Eastyn would have no problem with it.  lol  Boy was I wrong!!!!  Eastyn freaked out and clung to me when we came with in 10 feet of him.  Jefrie sat on him but wasnt too excited about it (as shown in the pic)  

Eastyn stuffing her face with a banana (she LOVES them)  with her scruffy daddy

 Grandma Cobbley has a lot of Christmas stuff so it definitely feels like Christmas which i am thankful for. (The cold snowy weather helps it feel like Christmas too but I dont like that part of it.)  There are lots of things that she lets the girls play with and right now these are Jefrie's favorite toys.

She has a beautiful 9 1/2 foot tree that is decorated with signs this year.

  (she does it different every year)

I think its the cutest idea for a tree.

 This is one of my favorites.  :-)

Halloween Costumes

 Little Red Ridding hood and Minnie Mouse

 The cutest little Minnie Mouse ever!

Eastyn hated wearing her hood but she is still cute!

Bun in the oven......

Yes, I am pregnant!  Life throws us curve balls and this was one.  But we are excited about it and the girls are too.  Jefrie likes talking about the baby in her tummy and mommies, and Eastyn just loves babies so I know she will love it.  

Pumpkin Patch

 Tonight we went to the Staheli Family Farm and had lots of fun.  We took a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch.

 Eastyn tried to pick this one up all by herself then...

 her sweet big sister came to try to help....IT WAS SO CUTE!   Of coarse they couldnt do it together either.

 Kiernan had a good time trying to pick them up and when he couldnt, he would kick them...lol  (the difference between girls and boys)

 We cant ever get a pic with everyone looking at the camera.  :-(

 Grandma and her grandbabies

 They had lots of toys and things to entertain the kiddos

s

 Kiernan was not happy about giving the girls a turn to drive

 We saw lots of animals too

 Jefrie has been wanting to see pigs since we moved down here and we finally got to see them.  She was excited but she said her favorite animal that she saw was the cows.  lol  I didnt take a picture of those. 

Major change and cute pics

We transfered Eastyn to a toddler bed a couple weeks ago and she is doing great with it.  Sometimes for naps she gets out to play a little and then falls asleep on the floor.  This one was the most interesting position.

I love that her pants have fallen down.  lol

 Where's Jefrie?

 We were visiting our Aunt Terri in Salt Lake last weekend and we kinda forgot about Jefrie coloring and this is what we found

 She didnt like that we were laughing and taking pictures

 My cute little green 2 year old.....did I mention they were not washable markers?

 Our soon to be cousin Brenley had a birthday party when we were up there and we had so much fun jumping in the castle 

 And playing with balloons.

 I was just waiting for this one to pop but she was lucky and it didnt.

So the real reason we went to Salt Lake was because Aaron had an interview for a job up there.  They offered it to him and he started today.  Im still back in St. George with the girls until we find someone to take over our lease. (hopefully not too long) We are really sad to leave here but we know that Salt Lake is where we need to be for now.   The Lord has blessed us and guided us these last couple months.  Im so thankful for prayer.  I have really learned how to recognize when and how my prayers are answered.  Im thankful for the reassurances that our Heavenly Father gives us when we make the right decisions.  I know that he will always be there for us to guide and comfort.

Eastyn's blankie

 My wonderful Aunt Marti made this blankie for us when I was pregnant with Jefrie and it's the perfect crib size blanket so we used it for Eastyn too.  Well....I dont think it will be passed on to anyone else cuz Eastyn has made it her own. 

 She has always meshed her fingers in it to put herself to sleep and lately she takes one piece of yarn and pulls it out and plays with that piece to fall asleep.

 Here is a pic showing all the pieces she has pulled out.

Eastyn loves phones

 When ever she sees a phone she just has to talk on it.  She is so cute!

 Its funny though, if she has it and the phone rings or I get a text, she gives it right to me.
