Little update.

    Sorry I have been so lazy with posting. We have been crazy! Just a few weeks after Jake went to Nashville I got my Tonsils taken out. let me warn you getting your tonsils out is not fun! Luckily my mom helped me a lot with the kids. Gracie had a blast staying at my parents house. She loves playing outside and they have a big yard and garden. I'm sure she was very sad to go back home to our apartment where she doesn't get to run outside and follow papa around all day.
    We went back home just a few days before Jake came home for mothers day weekend. Jake flew in on saturday morning and the kids and I flew back to Nashville with him on Monday morning. It was mine and the kids first time flying so that was fun. Gracie was so excited to fly, but oh man was the airport with 2 very little kids stressful. by the end of the day Jake and I were both stressed to the max and ready for bed! It was a pretty long day.Nashville was beautiful and awesome weather unfortunately we were only in Nashville for about a week and when that office didn't work out we moved to Cleveland Ohio. Instead of flying we drove this time. We did not want to do that drive with the kids screaming the entire time so we drove through the night. crazy right? !  We left around 12:30 or 1:00 am and arrived very tired in Cleveland around 12:30 .noon. Yikes! So that is whats been going on with us. we are in Cleveland now enjoying the nice weather and missing everyone back in Utah.

Missing Daddy!

As I'm sure everyone already knows Jake moved to Nashville for work for the summer. We have been missing him since the day he left. Haha I missed him from the second he walked out the door. Anyways since all I can think about lately is how much I miss him. here are a few pics of us with daddy.

 This was our first family picture with Connor. I don't love this picture cause i look like i weigh 500 pounds. It was right after Connor was born. But its our only family picture so oh well.

 Mommy and Daddy

At the hospital.

We miss you daddy cant wait to see you in a couple weeks when you come home!

Twins!

I took this picture of Connor today while he was sleeping on me. I just had to post it with Gracie s baby picture. I always loved this picture of Gracie. I just love her big fat lips. I gotta admit i am a bit jealous of them. She got her beautiful lips from her daddy, I was not lucky enough to get big lips. looks like Connor is also just like his daddy.  :) So precious

Connors first photo shoot!

Connor had his very first photo shoot with Aunt Sarah last week. Thanks Sarah we had fun visiting with you and love all the pictures you took!

So I have not been awesome at keeping up on with the blog. It has been a bit of an adjustment getting used to having two kids. So here is a little update.

         I am happy to say Connor is doing better. We have had to take him to the hospital every morning to get his levels tested.This has not been fun. finally they are going down and we can stop doing the tests. Praise the lord for that! Connors poor little feet are so cut up from getting blood taken from them every day for almost 2 weeks. poor little guy. We have Connors 2 week dr apt coming up this next wed so hopefully everything will be good then. He has had a hard time eating.. Seems to be doing a bit better now, so hopefully his weight will be going up rather down. He is such a precious little guy and I am  just so happy to have him. He is such a little cuddle bug and already sleeping through the night. Yay!

   Now for my little Gracie. We are so very blessed to have Gracie, She is such a special little girl. Gracie is two years old and yes she acts just how a two year old acts. :) She is wild and crazy and very very full of energy. Yes most of the time she is running around screaming, singing, dancing and making us crazy.She can also be so precious and nice. It just melts my heart everyday when she tells  me" mommy I love you so much your my best friend!" She also loves giving out  hugs and kisses. Its so cute anytime Jake leaves the house she has to have like ten different hugs and ten kisses before he can get out the door. She is such a daddies girl! We were really worried about how she would handle sharing the attention with a little brother. Luckily she is doing great. She loves giving Connor kisses and holding him. (with help of course. ) She watched me give him a bath tonight and just loved it so much. hopefully she continues to love him and not get jealous of all the attention i am now giving to Connor.

    So that is pretty much whats going on with the kiddos. Then there is me, i am trying to get signed up for school right now. my goal is to get all signed up and get the financial part of it figured out asap so i don't have to go back to work at Walmart in 5 weeks. I also have a dr apt on Monday to get an apt for getting my tonsils taken out. I am looking forward to getting them out and getting it over with. I am also a bit nervous about how we will handle the recovery time and how i will take care of the kids at the same time. I know it will all work out though. I'm just happy to get it out of the way. I get sick way to often. I had the surgery scheduled  before then i found out i was pregnant and had to cancel the surgery. so I have been waiting for a while to get it done. I guess Jake will just have to become Mr. Mom for a week or so while i recover. :) Which brings us to Jake. Jake is doing good he is so sweet and helpful to me. Such an amazing dad! Gracie is such a little daddies girl.  He has been really good about still making special Gracie time. He takes her for little walks to the gas station or to the store down the street. She gets so excited to have her time with him. Jake is  working and trying to get a car and do what he needs to do to go out for the summer and do installs again. So lets cross our fingers that everything comes together and he gets to do the job he loves. so that's us and pretty much all that's going on with us. :)
