Just playing catch up!!
Life seems to be flying by.... We have been home for a month now and so much has happened. I'll try to play catch-up!! Halloween was so much fun! We have a Halloween party at my brothers house in queen creek. It was much bigger this year and most of the cousins were candy! Probably a little lame for Koston to be an M&M, but I figured i won't be able to pick out his costumes for much longer so I may as well take advantage of it while I can? I made their costumes so they are a little awkward?!? They ended up being adorable though and Koston surprisingly left it on all night. There was a huge turnout this year and this kids loved all the games and the parade!
We also went to a Pumpkin Patch in Omaha before we came home and it was so great! They had all the typical stuff but this place was huge!! There were tons of animals and toys to play on and ride. They also had some huge "jumping pillows", Koston was not so excited about those? We thought he would love them and he hated them. He looks like he's having fun but really he's screaming!! We didn't actually buy a pumpkin because we were leaving that week and they would have been tossed out anyway!
The kids and I flew home with a 3 hour flight and Jordan drove our car full of all our stuff for 24 hours across the country! I was a little worried to fly home with Koston and the Aislee by myself but we had a sweet little lady sitting by us and she helped out so much! The flight out there was a little easier because it was bed time and they both slept! We loved our time in Omaha and I will miss the beautiful green grass everywhere and the huge shade trees. Everyone has perfectly manicured lawns/yards and there was a park down the street that we went to everyday and sometimes twice a day. Another couple that was out there with us had a little boy Koston's age and they loved going to the park together!
The weekend we got home was a busy weekend! Jordans dad, my parents, Koby and Shelby, Chad and Brody all came to join the chaos!! Koby's Birthday was Friday so we had a birthday breakfast and the Halloween party at Justin's house was that night. Saturday was Halloween and Sunday we blessed our sweet baby girl! I cannot believe how big she is getting! My mom made her dress. It was beautiful. She used part of my wedding dress on the slip and I loved it!
We went to Utah for our friend's wedding! It was a beautiful ceremony at the Salt Lake Temple. It was great to be there and remember our own wedding and covenants we made! Jordan's grandma and dad watched the kids! They were rotten the entire time and I'm pretty sure they won't be volunteering to watch them again anytime soon!
Sorry grandma and grandpa!
We went to Vegas for Thanksgiving to be with my family! It was a really fun and cramped weekend. Adam, Laura and Gavin also went, so my parent's 3 bedroom apartment was pretty full! We did the typical black friday shopping with my mom, Laura, and shelby! We took Aislee so Jordan and Adam could just hang out with the boys! She was such a good and smiley baby!
It has been so fun having a baby in the house again! We are loving it! She is getting big way too fast! She smiles all the time and is such a good baby! I think we deserve it after Koston being so HIGH MAINTENANCE!! We love him and he is so much fun right now, just really high energy/maintenance! He is talking so much and is repeating everything we do and say! Yesterday i found him in my bathroom with the hair wax and flat iron (unplugged) doing his hair! I swear he really is all boy and loves his trucks too!
He has had a rough few weeks! This month he has cut all 4 first molars and one of his bottom laterals! He still has one lateral to go and then I hope we get a break before his "I teeth" come in! He is almost 2 and just getting most of his teeth!

SNoW IN OCTObER
So we woke up to snow this morning!!! Crazy?!? We were expecting snow flurries and got 8-9 inches instead!! Jordan went to work and ended up coming home early. So we just hung out and did a whole lot of nothing! Koston hates it! I took him to the back porch and put his hand in it and he just screamed and said "CODE"!! He is in trouble since we plan on spending a lot of time in Utah in Dec and Jan so Jordan can go snowboarding this year! Hopefully he learns to like it!
Koston's favorite thing to do right now is playing under the kitchen cabinet. There is only garbage bags and dish soap under there so there is plenty of room for him to crawl around. He gets really frustrated when he cannot close the door all the way from the inside becasue his fingers are in it... he just can't seem to figure it out??
Not much new with this little pretty.... just wants to eat every 1 1/2 to 2 hours right now... can you tell? She is getting to be such a chub!! She is losing her hair and it's starting to look like a comb-over. It's time to shave off all the baby hair and let it grow in evenly!

Where does time go???
We have enjoyed our time here in Omaha. I am loving the weather and the changing leaves on the trees. There are pine trees and huge shade trees everywhere! It is SO incredibly green here! Koston loves being outside; until these last couple of days we were walking to the park down the street everyday. It is officially cold outside. I believe it was in the 40's today?
My kids... weird... i have two now and it sounds strange every time I say "kids," but they are getting so big. Time seems to go by quicker now that I have two. Is that because I have less free time? Koston is technically not getting much bigger. Still only 22 lbs and wearing 12 month clothing. Some of the pants are getting a little short, but he's too small to wear 18 month clothing. On the other hand Aislee just hit her two month mark and is in 3 month clothing. She is getting so chubby! I love it! She seems to change so much every week. I look back at pictures every few days and I always think her cheeks got chubbier?? She is such a fun baby and smiles ALL the time! I'm sure she doesn't realize it, but i love it all the same! Koston loves her! Always kissing her and wants to hold her all the time. He has been trying to pull her up on his lap lately... a little scary! He hates it when she cries and gives her hugs and says SHHHH with his finger over his mouth?
I was emptying the dishwasher and Koston found a clean beater from the mixer in the dishwasher and handed it to me and said "more"... Everytime he hears the mixer going he comes running and waits patiently to have the beater. He knows he has to be in his highchair with his shirt off!! How horrible am I, that I give my kid the beater loaded full of sugar??? Whatever keeps him occupied… and happy sometimes!!
Jordan is still loving his job, glad that the season is close to over so we can go back home and he can relax and see family and friends, but happy to be here! He loves having the kids here. He is such an incredible dad and Koston absolutely loves him! Jordan doesn't have to go to work until 10-11am or so, which means Koston gets to play with him all morning!!
We went to the county fair last weekend. It was so much bigger than the fair back home. Koston loved it! They had so much fun petting all the animals! There was a huge parade last Saturday morning that seemed to go on forever, he sat completely entertained watching all the horses and screaming for candy!!
So I’ve decided to take the plunge a lot sooner after this pregnancy. I started running a couple miles in the morning before Jordan goes to work so he can stay home with the kids. I’ve also been doing this kick MY butt cardio/muscle building routine in the evenings after the kids go to sleep! WOW… I’m really out of shape! But I’m loving the workout!
Jordan found a rocking horse on springs for Koston at a yard sale a couple weeks ago! Awesome $12 find; keeps him fully entertained…. For about 5 minutes! How we going to get that thing home??
