Baby Nolan

Nolan Paul was born May 4th.  He weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and he was 19 inches long.  My water actually broke this time.  Jefrie (newly potty trained) was in the room with me and as I was running to the toilet saying "uh oh! uh oh! uh oh!"  She asked me, "mommy did you pee your pants?"  LOL  

Luckily Aaron was only 20 minutes away so I called my soon to be sister in law to come over to watch the girls.  We got to the hospital, got my epidural (LOVE THEM), and 4 hours later he was here. :-)

 The girls loved him right away

 first family pic with 5

 Eastyn lost interest pretty quick but Jefrie just wanted to keep holding him.

 He was baby Cobbley for the 2 days we were in the hospital because Aaron and I could not agree on any names.  Finally we both made compromises and signed the birth certificate.  If you know Aaron you know where we got Nolan from.

 So handsome!  I wonder what color his eyes will be.  They are not as dark as Eastyn's so Im hoping they will be green like his daddy's eyes.

 On our way home!

 Sisterly love

 My mom came out to help for a week and it was such a blessing!  Thank you sooooo much mom!!  Jefrie got her nails painted for the first time. 

 1st football

 The girls can't get enough of him....I hope that doesn't change.

Side note:

 Im back into my pre pregnancy jeans! and most shirts that fit the milk jugs.  :-)

 Jefrie wanted to take a picture lol

And Eastyn took this one.

New home

So finally here are some pics of our new home (rental)

This is our view from our front porch.  I absolutely love it!!!

 This is our family room

 And this is our kitchen dinning area.  Its a little messy but its the best its going to get for a while.

I would show other pictures of our rooms but they are a disaster and I dont feel like cleaning them just for a picture.  Maybe after the baby comes.  I love my home and so happy to be here. The girls are adjusting well to sharing a room and other than the mess, I think we are ready for the little guy to show up.

Firetrucks and Tulips

The other day, Jefrie was talking about firetrucks and I totally forgot that my uncle was a fireman (pregnancy brain) so I called up my aunt and we set up a play date to go see uncle Scott at the fire station.

 At first the girls didnt want anything to do with the truck so aunt Terri got in the truck first.  Then they were interested.

 Eastyn  didnt know what to think when we put the fireman hat on her.  lol

 Jefrie loved it!

 They of coarse had to sit on uncle Scott's motorcycle too.  When we were leaving the fireman actually got a call so we got to see uncle Scott drive the firetruck with their lights and sirens on.  

Thanks Uncle Scott!  Im so mad I didnt get a picture with you in it!  Next time.  :-)

Later that day we went to the Tulip festival with Gma Cobbley and the girl cousins.

 The flowers were sooooo beautiful!!

 Auntie Tawnia and Kayla

 Everyone loved feeding the fish

 Playing in the water in the Secret Garden.

SOOOOO PRECIOUS!!!!!

The best part was sitting in the shade watching the girls "roll" down the hill.  (I was dying, lots of walking and it was hot!)  Auntie Tawnia made sure Eastyn stayed with the group....she is a handful!

Eastyn's haircut

Eastyn's hair has the cutest curls so I have been letting it grow for a while with little baby trims every once in a while but lately if I dont put it in pig tails, its a total mullet. So I gave her a good cut today.

 I just love her curls!  (Jefrie wanted to be in the pic too.)

So cute!!  I only cut an inch and a half off but it was much needed and still long enough for her pig tails.  

Easter

 Jefrie eating her bunny from Gpa Crider.  Thanks Grandpa!!!

The Easter bunny came on saturday to our house this year because Aaron and I had to give talks on sunday and our ward is at 9 so it was just less hecktic that way.  He brought lots of eggs and movies.  The girls were way happy.

The girls wanted to watch a movie right away so they snuggled up with daddy to watch one.  Poor Aaron was so tired.  

Easter Egg hunt

 We woke up the girls this morning to go to the Easter Egg hunt at 8 am.  Jefrie didnt want to wake up until i mention candy.  When we got there they were pretty excited about it.  

 Jefrie did pretty good, she just had to take a good look at the candy before she put it in her bucket.

 Aaron said that Eastyn picked up the first package of marshmellows and was ok with just that. lol  Aaron helped her realize there were more so she at least got 3 candies.  lol

They were occupied and didnt want to look at the camera. 

Its crazy how fast the hunt goes.   We played at the park for a while after.  

crazy fun

Where's Jefrie???

There she is!!        

Jefrie discovered her toy bin is a great hidding place!

 They love playing in Jefrie's bed lately. (I think because Eastyn loves the challenge of climbing on things to get on it)  Reading books to each other and playing that its bedtime. They also put there babies to sleep and snuggle them.  They are so stinkin cute when they play together.

 Eastyn loves putting bins on her head and walking around.  She is so silly.  

 The other day Aaron was giving them a bath and he yelled, "Amy I need your help!"  I went in there and Eastyn had put the basket that holds the bath toys on her head and it was stuck.  (Sorry I didnt get a picture)  I truly think she is preparing me for all the things this little boy will do.

 close up!

 Jefrie picked out Eastyn's clothes today. Not what i would have picked for a 71 degree day but I needed a picture of Eastyn wearing this because it used to be my favorite shirt when i was that small and I have one with Jefrie wearing it.

 Doing her silly face.  :-)

 I wanted Jefrie to work on learning her name so I had her trace and practice her name.  

 She actually did a lot better than i thought she would. ...look at her cute concentrating face! :-)

We traced the left side together and she did the whole right side ALL by herself! (besides the last one) Im so proud.  :-)

This is our view from our front door.  I love it!!!  Its so beautiful here.  And I absolutely LOVE my ward!!!  There are so many great people here, so welcoming and friendly.  :-)  I told Aaron when we stop renting we will have to buy a house in this neighborhood.  He said he wouldn't mind that.  :-)  One day, when I actually clean my house, I will post pictures....today, I just hope to get the dishes done.
