Alivia Plays Dress Up Too!!!!

This is Bella's princess dress up stuff, and she wanted alivia to be

beautiful. so she dressed alivia up as a princess. How cute is

this????? She was loving it!!!!! Her hair is really thin, and the crown kept falling out, so i was just snapping the camera as fast as i could. and on pic actually came out good.

Face Painting

So Koda and Bella's cousin Emily, came up with her face painting kit and designed the kids faces how they wanted them. They came out really cute, and had lots of fun doing it. Then they told Emmy that they wanted to design her face. This didn't last very long, as they ended up jabbing her eyeballs out with the paint brushes. fun fun!!

Alivia's Firsts!!!

So we gave alivia some cherios for the first time.

we figured that she was big enough, since she can

pick them up and put the in her mouth. she does

an excellent job, seeing how she has no teeth yet.

also she is sitting up on her own which she just

started less than a week ago. she is growing up too

fast. she is trying to get to her knees but hasnt quite

made it yet.

All of the kids!!!!

so here is some of alivia. wow, is she getting big!!!

and here is some of the beautiful bella herself!!!!

......and here are the indians......

Kitchen is Painted!!!!

So here is the kitchen in the process. sorry there is a bunch of things in the way and the coloring is kinda dark. but it is coming along. can not wait till i get them countertops and cupboards. josh is going to be making them too. how exciting. i am so ready for all of this to be done. though i do have to say that it is pretty fun to be able do be doing the decorating part.

Dakoda's Room

dakoda is soo excited to finally be moving into his new room.
as you can see there are still a few more things that need to be done, like his window needs to be put in and his floor needs to be put down. so we just threw a throw rug in there for now. bella is staying in there right now until we get her new room all ready for her. but things are starting to come together.

All Dressed Up!!!

These were taken yesterday which would

have been Sunday November 23rd.
Dakoda is soo excited. He got his first suite
to wear when we go to meetings. And the
girls are always so cute in their dresses.
It is starting to get so cold here, so bella
needs to be getting so dresses with long
sleeves now. And dont forget, today is the

24th so Alivia is 7months old today. WOW,

it is so amazing how quickly time flys by!!

Mommy and Livie

This is me and mommy!!!! We are at the computer of course. I love the computer. I like to watch mommy play games and work on it. Also, sometimes when i get really lucky, she will turn on a blank page so that i can write a letter. It is soo much fun. I LOVE MY MOMMY!!!!

My Best Friend

Daddy and Mommy got us kids this wonderful new puppy. Daddy named him Boog, like the bear from the movie Open Season. He like brother and sissy, but as you can see he is deffinately my best friend. He is always sleeping under my bouncy seat when i am in it. And even if i have my blanket on the floor he is still right there beside me. I cant wait until i am old enough to really enjoy him!!!!

My New Highchair!!!

This is my new highchair that mommy and daddy got me. I love this. It is soo nice to be able to look all around while I am eating, even if it makes mommies job hard. The other night I was so tired. I stayed up long enough to eat my green beans and pears. Then when mommy went down to the bathroom to make my bottle, I fell fast asleep. But boy did I look cute.

I Can See The Table!!

Wow, this is sooo amazing. It has been alomst 3 months since I was able to see the top of my kitchen table. I am so excited that we can all eat as a family now. The kids loved being able to be back in their spots at the table. They said that it was fun to be eating at the table again!!!! This is such a relief because this means that we are that much closer to be having the remodeling done. YEAH!!!!

Josh was wonderful and brought home from work this great shelving unit. So that is where i am storing everything that was on the table. But at least it now has a new home and is neatly put away. We will be using the shelf untill we get the kitchen completed along with all of the cupboards.
