I haven't been very good at updating this blog, sorry!

Update:

Jaiden is saying more words like Thanks, me-nut, peaches, car, and kiss. He LOVES the swimming pool and doesn't seem to mind his "floaties." He is very good with Olivia and gives her kisses on her forehead. Today he shared some of his little plastic animals with her. He is pretty gentle with her. Jaiden loves his flip-flops, his grandma's, and his "white" bear. Jaiden loves to help me and immitate me. He is such a good boy!

Olivia is so precious! She is rolling over and has the cutest look on her face when she is trying to roll back the other way. Her smiles and giggles are the most precious things on earth! She melts my heart when she sees me and gets excited. She is getting some major rolls and Matthew and I love to pinch them. She is a very easygoing baby and her personality is the go with the flo type. It is fun buying girl clothes!

Matthew is still the best barbecuer in the world. He is having to work 50 hours a week now and is not getting any compensation at this time. He has a positive attitude, " At least I have a job," he says.

Heather chopped off her hair and is still getting used to it. I have to say it has been hard getting used to two kids instead of one. I have had to let things go more like the doodlings on our walls, refrigerator, and kitchen floor by Jaidey-waydey!

Jetta gone, but not forgotten!

Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my first car. The jetta has served me well. It made many trips to Boise to see my honey- bun during our courtship. To replace the jetta (on right), we purchased a dark gray Honda Pilot (on left). It is a 2006 and is nice. We got it because it was recommended on Consumer Reports and we wanted a car that could hold more than our Camry. We are enjoying our new car, but we will never forget our Jetta memories!

Grandma and Olivia!

Olivia looks so content in her Grandmother's arms. My mother came to visit recently and it was really nice to have her. The kiddos enjoyed her immensely. Even though she just had knee surgery, she helped me de-junk my house some more and help out with the kids. Thanks mom!

Jaiden

I went in to check on Jaiden in his room and this is what I saw. At first all I saw were his feet sticking out of the closet. I thought it was so cute that he had decided to take his nap in his closet. That is his white bear that he loves to sleep with. He is laying on the sacks of clothes that he has outgrown. I guess they make for a comfy napping cushion. I am just happy that I found him asleep!

Olivia on her polka dot blanket!

Her is our little Olivia on the blanket that her Great Aunt Rachel made for her. It is the softest blanket ever! Thanks Aunt Rachel!

Jaiden's recent haircut :-)

Matthew and Jaiden got haircuts a couple of weeks ago. We went into Great Clips and there was no wait (which is nice since toddlers can't wait very long). Jaiden did really well except he kept wanting to turn around and see Daddy get his haircut. He also kept trying to look at the receptionist. When he got his sucker, he seemed to be very pleased with himself and loved the attention he got from the two ladies who praised him for being a good boy. His nickname lately is "spike."

Jaiden and Olivia look similar at 1 month :)

Heather just happened to put Olivia in an outfit that Jaiden once wore and I was surprised at the similarities :)

Can you tell which one is which?
