Cousins....

Kayleigh got to meet her new cousins this past week and we got to meet our new neices. I only got pictures on my camera of Kayleigh and Angie. The pictures of Maddie are on Jill and G-ma Turner's cameras...so I can't post those until I get them emailed. But here are some pictures of Kayleigh and her cousin Angie Lyons. She is the daughter of my brother Parker and his wife Heather. She is an absolute DOLL and I am so glad that we got to play this week!

Sun Valley Snowboarding Trip

John and I had the opportunity to go up to Sun Valley and stay for the night. It was a perfect little get away for us. John has been working so hard this year with school and work. He's been to England twice this year for work and had 2 really hard classes. We both needed a break. John found an awesome deal on a one night stay at the Sun Valley Lodge and a lift ticket for $69 (based on double occupancy). We figured we probably won't ever snowboard in Sun Valley for any cheaper so we booked it. Mom was so sweet and took the day off to watch our kids for us. We had a fantastic time. The snow was FAB-U-LOUS!! They had received like 3 inches the day before, 6 inches the night before and it snowed for about 3 hours in the morning while we were there! I would venture to say the BEST snow I've snowboarded on in, EVER!

Sun Valley is an absolutely beautiful place to go. Those mountains are GI-NORMOUS! We would measure everything in Pomerelle runs...Example: That run is at least 4 big lift runs a Pomerelle.

Sun Valley also just got a new gondola to ride up. It was so fast and warm. Somehow it felt wrong to go up the mountain (or at least part of it) while the wind is whipping but not have it blowing in your face! HEAVEN!

It was really pretty to look out of the gondola at the mountains and their absolute wonder and beauty.

I am so glad I got to spend some time with my sweetie. I feel like I never see him anymore and it was wonderful to spend a whole day together, just the two of us!

My happy girl...

My sweet Kayleigh is such a happy baby. The other day we were having such a great time on the floor. She was just a talking and giggeling! It was so fun! She is blessing our home and our lives in so many ways!

The BUMBO

I have seen these BUMBO seats at various friends homes for their kids but never bought one for Lucas. Kayleigh has been trying to sit up if you set her in the corner of the couch or something and then ends up face planting into the cushion. I decided to try and find a used one because they are kind of expensive brand new. Luckily my neighbor had one that she sold me cheap! (Thanks again BreighAn). Kayleigh LOVES it! She'll sit in it happy as a clam watching what everyone is doing! I am so glad that I got it. It has made my life much easier.

It's even purple and she looks so cute when she sits in it!

Baby Shower Invitations

We (the Turner girls) are throwing Melissa a baby shower next week when we are all home. I volunteered to make the invites. They turned out soooo cute! My good friend Rebecca has a Cricket machine that cut out these cute little baby outfits. We had so much fun making them. Our kids played together and we crafted. It was a good day.
Here is a small variety of some of the cards. We made some pink with purple ruffles and some purple with pink ruffles.

Here is one of them closer up....it has a cute little pink rhinestone in the center of the flower!

The inside was really simple...pink or purple paper with the information.

I can't wait until the baby shower. It will be so much fun. I can't wait to get that little baby here and meet her. Melissa is going to be such a cute mama!

Look what I can do now!

Saturday night after Lucas was in bed and John was at softball I layed Kayleigh on the floor by me to get some tummy time and this is what she did.....Like 4 times in a row! She's getting too big it makes me sad!

Proof!

For all you non-believers of just how crazy my 2 year old is....here are just a few photos with examples of things he has done in the last month alone....

EXAMPLE 1.
This is Lucas in the garage sitting in the bin that has dog food in it....the blue thing that it is sitting on is a 50 gal drum of water...How did he manage that...no idea but we had dog food everywhere in the garage...thank goodness for the shop vac Mom and Dad got us for Christmas!

EXAMPLE 2.

This is Lucas in the bath tub fully clothed. He asked if he could get in the tub...I said No. So Lucas decided to do it himself. You can't really tell from this picture but he is completely soaked. He only had water running for about 1 mintute before I heard it and already he was drenched.

EXAMPLE 3.

This isn't a very good picture because Lucas was running away...but that is INK! He found a pen and decided to draw all over his legs...Quietness=disaster at our house. This is one of those times that I thought he was being so good....NOPE!

EXAMPLE 4.

These are grocery bags...he emptied the entire cupboard of them all over the kitchen and then started throwing them in the air saying, "Hooray, Hooray, Hooray".

Example 5.

This is our closet...notice the shoes on the ground. Normally they are neatly on the shelves paired up. Notice Lucas at the top of the closet. This is what he does when I am in the shower! Fun stuff!
