Giant Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving weekend is always a good time to do a little shopping. We went as a family to the Traverse Mountain outlets. We got a bonus, giant Christmas tree and a visit with Santa. The girls have filled out their want list and mailed it to the north pole. I hope Santa gets them what they want! The tree was beautiful and the girls had a fun time.



Visit

The Milligan's came into town for Thanksgiving. We were so excited to spend a few hours with them. We just hung out and visited. They were able to meet little Quincee. We were sad to have them leave so soon but we were happy we got to see them.

Thanksgiving

My family all went to Moab for Thanksgiving so we got to enjoy the day with Lee and Laura today. They girls love getting together with family. They had a great time with Laeklan, Abbie, and Lillie. We ate way too much delicious food and enjoyed good company and great weather. I have so many things to be thankful for!

The girls are really into climbing trees right now - this tree is perfect for climbing, Gordon stayed close to supervise and help the climbers!

Mommy and 1 Month Old Baby

Thanksgiving Eve is always a great time to take a picture of my cute baby! I love to snuggle with her, even if shes mad. Taeya and Anastyn refer to the jammies Quincee is wearing as her "4th of July Jammies". So, so cute. 

Shopping For Beds

The girls and I went to R.C. Willey to check on prices for bed frames. Since I put the 2 girls in the same room I eliminated Taeya's day bed so now they need frames and box springs. While we were waiting to pay for the frames the girls checked out some new beds. They thought this one was pretty cool! 

1 month

Quincee is so much fun - the girls are really loving her and she has added so much love into our house. 

Anastyn lost my camera so this picture is the best I could do!

She is a little fussy - I feel like we have to let her cry a lot
She loves to be held and is usually pretty happy if she is being held
She eats every 2 hours - sometimes seems fussy after eating
Hates the binki but we keep trying to give it to her!
Wears size 1 diapers
Sleeps pretty good.  Goes to be around 11:30 and will sleep for at least 4-6 hours.  She goes right back to sleep after and will sleep at least 3 more hours.
She is pretty good in the car - thankfully since she won't take the Binki
Not smiling yet - at least not on purpose
She loves to be held up on my shoulder and often falls asleep like that
Likes bath time
Sleeping in the bassinet in our room
Still has all her hair:)

1 month

This is an awful picture - Anastyn lost my camera that I had taken some better pictures with! Quincee is 1 month old. She is still pretty fussy, doesn't love the binki, eats every 2-3 hours. Goes to bed around 11pm ish, I go to bed the same times she does. Then she will sleep til around 4:00am. She sleeps in our room. She only poops about once a week! (Which I am told is pretty normal) The girls love her so much! Taeya has to greet her first thing when she gets home! We love this tiny little pumpkin!

Ballerina

Taeya's ballet class has a week each semester when they allow parents to come in and watch the class. I love watching Taeya dance and she loves an audience. She is a beautiful Ballerina and a beautiful girl.

Flower Girls at Dance

Annie and Anastyn were cute little dancing flowers at Dance Class. I drive them once every 4 weeks and I love these cute girls dance. 

Snuggle Time

Gordon is so great to help out with Quincee. I love it when he is home and can hold her so I can get a few things done. She is a cuddle bug! Quincee is almost 4 weeks old.

Quincee was 3 weeks old when this pictures was taken. 

This picture was almost a week later - almost 4 weeks old

Christmas Lights

It's been such great weather this November. Gordon decided he should put up the Christmas lights with the weather so nice. Taeya was a great helper this year. Gordon needed me to line up the light strands and with little Quincee in the baby bjorn she was great too and we got the job done! Yay for Christmas lights.

Mini Cheer Camp

The BYU cheerleaders have a mini cheer camp once a year. Cynthia invited the girls to come this year. I was tempted to say no since Quincee was so little and Gordon was going to be out of town but at the last minute Kelly and I decided to do it, the girls loved being with Jayne and Cynthia. They had a practice Thursday night. Another practice Wednesday afternoon then they performed at half time for the men's basketball game that night. It was so fun to see them. They both love to perform!  I am so glad. They loved every minute of it. Anastyn now wants to be a BYU Cheerleader when she grows up.

Nana and Papa have season tickets to the bball games so they were able to watch the performance.  We went and visited them before half time.

This is the picture that was posted on BYU cheerleaders instagram!  Cute Anastyn, "Go Cougars!"

15 Days Old

Big, Bright Eyes at 15 days old. I love her!

2 Weeks Old

Having a new born is a little exhausting but they are so sweet and cuddly. I cherish the evenings when the big girls are asleep and I just get to snuggle with this sweet baby. I am so lucky! Quincee is 2 weeks old.

New Room

My mom offered to take the girls over night so while Quincee was napping Gordon and I worked on getting the girls room painted. Paint color is so hard to pick out! The room turned out much "pinker" than I had planned but I wasn't going to re-paint. I think Taeya and Anastyn love the room, and that's all that matters!

Quincee is 13 days old.

Quincee got some snuggle time with Nana when we went to pick up the girls.  She loves to snuggle with the babies. 

12 Days Old

12 days old and doing great!
