Work work work!

We have been so busy lately doning things around the house. We planted our garden a few weeks ago and are pround to say our plants are actually growing! Yay! we are so happy about this we feel some what sucessful since last year we didn't really get anything to grow. We planted corn, watermelon, carrots, cucumbers, chilies, and tomatoes! We also planted A peach and apple tree. Chris has been working so hard on our garden he even made a little irrigation system so watering the garden will be easier and now thanks to Brady its buried in the ground. Chris also built a chicken coop so we could get our little baby chicks. We are do all these things to trying to be self sufficient and it has been alot of fun along the way!

Our big girl

Paetyn has been learning so much lately and I haven't posted about it so I figure it's time! First off Paetyn got her ears pierced. I have been waiting since the day she was born to get them done so i'm way excited to finally have them done. She had her 4 month appt and she weighed 16lbs 3oz she was 25 in long and her head was 43 1/4 that puts her in the 95th percentile for her head and weight and 75th for her length what a fatty huh? And that was a month ago! Since then she has learned to roll over and sit up, although the rolling over is only done when she feels like it she does sit up all the time! She has also started eating solids she eats pretty good except for green beans as you will see in the pics. We are excited to see all the new tricks she will learn in the next few months!

Valentines Day

This was our third Valentines day together and we are trying to be more frugal so we set a $25 limit.  Well Teesha did pretty well with the limit, but she did go over, so she labeled part of it with Paetyn's name to get by.  Teesha's gift took her forever to make, but it was awsome and very thoughtful.  Chris' sister was in California the day before Valentines Day and she text him a picture of a coach purse and asked if Chris had already gotten a gift.  Well originally Chris said he didn't want to buy one because it was way over the limit, but turns out the Coach Factory sale was having an awsome sale and the deal was unbeatable.  So, needless to say Chris went over the limit, but got this purse for less than $100 which is a steal.  We hired a babysitter and went to dinner and a movie together.

Teesha is Legal

It is official Teesha is 21 years old now.  Holy Crap!!  We rented a hotel room in Mesa for a couple nights and Teesha was able to fulfill one of her life long dreams, to swim on her birthday.  Good thing the pool was heated.  For her birthday we had dinner at Texas Roadhouse and desert from the Cheesecake factory.  To top of the desert we were selected by them to do a survey and in return we got a gift card.  Lauren was nice enough to babysit Paetyn for the afternoon so that we could do all this stuff without having to worry about a crying baby.  For her birthday she got a Snowboard, bindings, and boots.  She was suprised to see her board because she never saw it in the car when Chris picked her up at her parents.  Well, turns out Chris had snuck down early and checked into the hotel and hid the board under the bed.

Paetyn and her new little cousins

As you can see our little baby just doesn't seem to be so little any more, at least when she is with her new twin cousins, Waylon and Whitley.  This is two days after they finally got to come home from the hospital and they are so small.  Paetyn was having the best time in the wagon having two of her Aunts haul her aroung, but when the twins joined her she wasn't so sure what to think about it.

Let it Snow!

We didn't get much, but it doesn't happen too often here in Safford so we had to get a picture of Paetyn in it since she has never seen it before.

Christmas

2 months old and she already wants the big presents!

Here Paetyn is with all her wonderful gifts.

Her first experience with Santa was a good one, she didnt cry or anything.

A couple of family pictures that we took, one of them we used for our Christmas Card.
