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??

Great Yard Sale Find!

What a Strong Kiddo!!

We Officially Live in Omaha... for one more month!!

Why does time fly when life is so GOOD??






I have officially lived in Omaha Nebraska for a month now. I am actually really liking it here aside from not have a car and missing my family. The weather is great and we are already wearing sweatshirts. Koston cannot go outside much right now because it has been raining the past couple of days and it's too cold. I'm not sure we could ever live where it snows; this boy does not do good indoors all day. I can even take him to the mall or the store and that doesn't cut it.... he has to go outside or it is a LONG day!! Especially now that he has to compete with Aislee for my attention! We were walking to the park every afternoon until this week. I love having two kids. I was really worried that i was going to be a basket case but its not has bad as i imagined. (there are some days...) We have enjoyed getting out of the heat. Jordan has enjoyed his job and it looks like we will be doing this for awhile. Who knows where we will end up next summer and fall. Hopefully somewhere fun so we can get some company. Who wants to come to Nebraska?? We will be here for another month. So we will be here to see all the leaves change, which is unlike home.
So Koston loves doing his own hair. I put Jordan's hair product in it and he helps... only the amount he puts on his fingers is a little more than i put on mine. However he doesn't realize that you only put "Hair product" in your hair. He puts deodorant, lotion, body wash and the cream from PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS and OREOS in his hair. The other day I was holding him and he smelled like peanut butter?? So later that afternoon I saw him split apart the cracker and proceed to rub the peanut butter in his hair?? No wonder his hair is crusty sometimes?? I love that kids.
We went to the county fair this last weekend. Koston loved seeing and petting all the farm animals. He was not sared at all! There was a HUGE parade saturday morning, way bigger than any at home. They go all out over here.
Aislee is getting so big. She has officially outgrown her newborn clothes and into 3 month clothing at 2 months. She has chunked up faster than I want her to! I hate how fast time is going with her. It seems to be going much quicker than with Koston.
I'm just going to post what we have been up to lately....
