trip to idaho

the girls and i took a two week trip to miridian, idaho in april to visit my sister khara, her hubby russ, & niece mekenzie. we swung by utah for a while too! here we are dedicating pictures to our sister tricia (on her mission). we call it the "tricia face." seems every pic she ever takes has this expression. we love you & miss you sister foster! you're too cute!

let us catch up....

so to catch up on the last few months...were do i start? the girls are growing like crazy....
carly got the side taken off her bed (finally) a few months back and is now using a "big girl bed," i ran my first 10k beginning of march (my first half marathon coming in july!), pics of cierra at 4 months, and some @ yet another visit to multnoma with friends in town (dallas & abby, dan & jenny).

cierra 6 months!

cierra is growing so fast! my little baby girl is already 6 months old (since last thursday) and is trying desperately to keep up with carly. the day she turned 6 months she surprised me by crawling, and is all over the floor now! (not that she wasn't already with army crawling before)...she is sitting, crawling, eating lots of solids, and going from crawl position to sitting. she is doing things faster than carly did so its a little surprising for me! this girl goes after what she wants, and she wants to move! she is showing so much personality and she is so much fun, and carly is loving her playmate!

MIA

i know, i know, its been forever since i have posted!
well...here are my excuses: our computer crashed and it took 3 weeks to fix, i was out of town visiting family in UT & ID for 2 weeks, & then left my snap & shoot camera with all my recent pics in ID so i have no pics to share! i have some major catching up to do! but my camera is in the mail and soon as it gets here i will be posting like crazy, because i have to catch up on SO much, b/c so much has happened! i want to keep track of the events in our life on this blog and will soon print it all in a book (hopefully i get around to that). i ALSO lost have my journal in the computer crash...thank goodness i have this blog to fall back on!
cierra is 6 months old today and i do have pics taken with my new 10d that i will post while i am waiting for my other camera to come...but just not tonight...i just had to put something up here for now...until then...

p90x

go clint & tyra! so i guess everyone including these 2 are doing this workout...i've done a few videos too, they are hard! they are loving it and are just getting started...hope they don't hate me for posting this pic! we will see how this whole program pans out! anyone else doing it? good luck if you are; looks like you will need it! {i think i'll stick to running!}

visiting moses lake

we go to moses lake, WA to visit tyra (clint's sister) often because we just love those guys! we just got back from a 5 day visit...we just have to get out of this rain whenever possible! they actually have sun there! lucky! carly loves playing with her cousins 24/7 & we love that too!

pink

cierra will be 12 wks this friday! i cant believe how fast time has flown. just wanted to share a few pics!

gossip girl..totally addicting!

i totally am addicted to this show and cannot miss an episode! (judge me if you want, that's fine!) i didn't mean to get this way, but one show leads to another...clint calls it my trash tv! all i have to say is...whatever, i LOVE it...anyone else too? can't wait until monday, last week's re-run was very LAME by the way!

cooing cierra & counting carly

milestones for my 2 girls!

cousins

since we didnt get to see tyra (clints sister) & the kids @ christmas they came for a week and hung out...we hit up chuck e cheese's, played, played, played, shopped, & celebrated new years, it really is a blast with these guys everytime!

christmas

christmas we were snowed in! (like most of the NW was). we couldn't make it to moses lake, wa for christmas (clint's sister)...it was fun with just us, and we were able to get together with ward members/friends for christmas dinners and did a nativity play where cierra was the "live baby jesus" and carly was an angel...so cute! it was a great first christmas for cierra and so fun to have 2 daughters now to share it with! we are so blessed! (don't mind my terrible pics, i am working on getting a better camera!)
