6 Months

2010-04-24T07:12:00.000-07:00

So Ava is 6 months old now! I cannot believe how fast that went by and it makes me sad that she is older but I also love it bc she is such a GOOD baby! Seriously....an incredibly perfect baby! She just smiles and plays all day! She love Bella to death, she just watches her every move and laughs at everything big sister does! Ava looks just like daddy and is very tall. She is eating baby food now...which makes her even older to me :( I love my girls so much and am feeling very greatful that I have such amazing, beautiful daughters in my life! Here are just some updated pics of the girls!!

MINUTE TO WIN IT....

2010-03-29T14:37:00.000-07:00

So for some reason I cannot find time to blog anymore! Maybe bc I have two kids haha! Anyway life has been great lately and I am just counting down until the summer so we can be outside in the sun!! Rob has been really busy with his business and it is going fantastic!! We are seeing huge blessings from it and our goal is to build a house and have a pool one day....o yeah baby!!! Also so my husband can be self- employed and be home with his girls more ;) But until then....busy busy is my husband and I feel like a single mama sometimes! So I keep myself busy with Bella's preschool and taking the girls and doing fun adventures! We went to the aquirium the other day and had a blast! It was really cool...I was actually scared to touch the stingrays ( I know Im 24 and there were like 4 yr olds doing it) haha Im a baby! Here are some pics from that day...

We also had friends over the other night and played "Minute to Win It". I dont know if you have ever watched this game show, but it is hilarious! Rob and I watch it every Sunday, so I decided to host the show at my house! They have all the challenges online so it was really easy to set up and we had a blast! It was so funny to see some of the men do the different challenges...like Ike Lewis scoot across the floor on a bath mat! ahahaha PRICELESS! We won money for each round won and at the end got to pick prizes in each money category! It was hilarious and quite the night!! Defying Gravity....Mega Bubble....Johnny Applestack....Spin Doctor....Breakfast Scramble...Magic Carpet Ride...Bite Me...Go The Distance....Seperation Anxiety...Movin On Up...Keep It Up.....Speed Eraser....

The Past Few Months...

2010-03-10T10:30:00.000-08:00

So I havent blogged since Christmas! I am such a slacker but Im ready to get back into the game now.... Lets see, since Christmas we celebrated Bellas 3rd birthday! I cant believe my baby girl is 3! She is so big and I love her so much! She has been such a joy in my life and I dont know what I would do without her.

We also celebrated Robs birthday! My man is 26! He hates his birthday and when I make it a big deal...but as long as hes married to me he will celebrate it and have fun! haha So I got a bunch of Robs old friends together that we havent seen for a long time and we all went to Happy Sumo for dinner, then came back to our house to chill and have cake! It was way fun....Love you babe!

We also had Valentines Day! I love Valentines day, but of course this year with two kids, it wasnt going to be a romantic getaway haha...So I made it romantic from home(after kids went to bed of course!) Rob made an incredible dinner for us and we watched a chic flic of my pick haha, then had some cheesecake for dessert which was delicious! Earlier in the day lets just say I bought a little something cute to wear and I will leave the rest of the evening up to you guys! ;-) I also made french toast and smoothies for breakfast in the morning....It was a very fun Vday!

So that was our January and February! I will post more of our March when I get the time! I cant wait for Spring to come so we can be outside more!!!

Christmas, blessing and Bellas Bday!

2010-01-12T10:09:00.000-08:00

So we are a little behind since the holiday is over, so Im going to mix it all into one!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! My parents came in for the holidays and they spoiled everyone! Rob and I got a Wii and a new video camera from my parents and little Bella got beyond spoiled! She had so many gifts she couldn't even open them all on xmas morning....how pathetic is that! Gramma loves to spoil!! Rob got me a beautiful new entertainment stand for our living room from RC Willey I got to go pick out and a new tredmill!! I love running and just listening to my ipod being kid free in our exercise room....My husband scored big points this year!!! ( I will post pics soon as soon as my entertainment stand gets fully decorated) Anyway, here r some pics.... We also blessed our beautiful little Ava on the Sunday after Christmas....everyone enjoyed it except me bc Bella tells me she has to pee right before Rob goes to start the prayer! So I run to the bathroom with Bella bc she told me she was gonna pee on me! Atleast Rob got to enjoy blessing her.....I cried for 3 hours after that! ahaha Traumatic day for a mothers hormonal feelings!

Bella celebrated her 3rd birthday! I cant believe my baby is 3!! It goes by so fast! We baked a cake together and made her a hat for preschool that day....she was so excited but when I told her she was 3 she says, " no I wanna be 2 still" like it was a bad thing! haha She is so cute! Happy birthday princess Bella!!

Polar Express train ride and Bella's preschool room!

2009-12-28T18:11:00.000-08:00

My parents came to visit for 2 weeks for Christmas and we took Bella on the Polar Express train ride in Heber...she was so cute! WE read the story of the Polar express, had waiters bring us hot chocolate and cookies, the elves told jokes and sang songs, and then we arrived at the North Pole and Santa and Mrs. Claus got on the train to give the kids some bells like in the story.....such a cute experience for her!I also finally finished Bellas preschool room in my upstairs....she loves it!! I do a different letter each week with her and we have all sorts of fun activities we do like painting, playdough, arts and crafts, magnets, music time, finger puppets and more....I write out an entire curriculum for a month long period and she is learning sooooo much! We start off with the weather and calender and days of the week each day and write our letters and she has a blast! Just wanted to share how cute the room is and it keeps us busy being stuck in the house all winter!!!

Monday Night Mystery Meal!!

2009-12-08T19:31:00.000-08:00

So my new thing for monday nights are making a new recipe for dinner and a new dessert we've never had before. We always do family night every monday night and I thought this would be a new fun tradition to start! Here is my cashew chicken and berry cobbler with vanilla bean icecream.....now keep in mind..nothing came from a box or bag except the ice cream( im not that good)...these are all fresh ingredients made from scratch! I need to learn how to cook better so this is a start....Enjoy! ( it was really really good by the way) :)

Our baby is here...well... she's been here!

2009-12-04T11:51:00.000-08:00

Haha......so it's been a long time since I've posted anything on here and I apologize...life has been crazy lately and it's really hard to find time to blog between feeding every few hours, changing diapers, teaching to potty train and sleeping!! I have a ton of updates though since the last time I posted...which I was still pregnant so a lot has changed since then! Enjoy!!!

First we took Bella to the zoo back in September before little sister came so Bella felt very important with Rob and I!We spent alot of quality time with Bella before Ava came.... we also celebrated my birthday on September 11th and had friends over for dinner and had cake and icecream! The last month of my pregnancy was really hard and uncomfortable so I didn't really do much until I had Ava...so nothing exciting to post....but then on Monday, October 5th.....Ava made her way into the world! I was induced and my delivery went very very fast! I had her in just a few hours and only pushed for 10 minutes!!! Dont hate me girls! haha She was absolutely beautiful!!! Here is Ava Gabrielle Freeman.... Bringing Ava home was quite the change from having one child! I was very overwhelmed at first bc trying to juggle a toddler and a newborn while recovering from labor was not fun! Bella was very good though and Rob's mom was a very big help to us..... It's sad to see Ava get bigger but at the same time I missed my sleep and was going crazy only getting a few hours each night when we were first home.... so even though she kept growing and I missed my tiny newborn...I knew life would be getting easier the bigger she got. Here are some random pics of Bella and her new sister! She loves Ava...alittle too much sometimes...haha

Next came Halloween.....we had so much fun this year, especially having Ava here to share it with!! I took Bella to Boo Barnyard at Thanksgiving Point and we had a blast playing the games and doing the little corn maze and making cookies...

We also carved pumpkins, made homemade pumpkin seeds and obviously went trick-or-treating! Bella was so adorable in her witch costume and Ava was our little pumpkin!

And last.....this is quite the catch up post....we had Ava's first newborn pictures done and she looks like a little angel! Bella loved playing dress up with her in the pictures! Look how cute....

We are so excited to have Ava in our lives...she is such an angel and life is getting fun now that we have our routine back on track!! My mom and dad are coming out for christmas and I am so glad bc its been 6 years since Ive spent a xmas with them! Also they haven't even seen Ava yet! So this will be an awesome month!!! I promise to post more on a regular basis now!!

New house, Baby showers, and Fun with Bella!

2009-08-23T11:38:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics for u guys to see...I also had my baby shower and it was a great turn out! Thanks so much to all my amazing friends that came...you girls are the best and Im so glad I get to celebrate my life with u! I got some really cute stuff and I cant wait for Ava to be here!Bella has been so cute lately too...she is my little doll baby! We went to the petting farm for family night and she got to ride the ponies! She also loves to play dress up with me...and I know...I look so hot!!! haha I've just been snapping some pictures of her at random times as well...enjoy!
She is such a little Diva~At the park, then off for a huge sundae!

BABY GIRL!!!!!

Ok...I know most of u already know this...but I never posted it so I needed to hahaha! Anyway, another princess to add to the castle! We have decided to name her Ava~ I really liked Gabrielle but Rob only liked Ava out of my list of 20 names :( He's so picky! But I love Ava and it totally fits my personality and goes cute with Bella! We can't wait to meet her one day!

ITS BEEN AWHILE....AND WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!!!

2009-05-24T07:48:00.000-07:00

So I know it has been awhile since I have posted on here...I am so lazy when it comes to blogging! I am back though and ready to update u guys on my life! So since Valentine's Day we have had a lot going on... Obviously there was Easter, and my mom came to visit from Pennsylvania, so that was really fun! I have been taking a lot of cute pics of Bella just for fun, she is such a little princess and it's fun to capture all the adorable moments! Mother's day was very very very nice, I got to sleep in for the first time in like 2 years! Rob made me breakfast in bed and let me just sleep until we had to go to church....which is 1:00 in the afternoon! He got a dozen roses and a card for me and let's just say it was amazing to be pampered for once. Everyone pretty much knows I am pregnant, but here's an update on that...I am feeling great, I have been working out everyday and trying to stay healthy! That's really hard for someone who likes to eat oreos by the dozen and pints of Ben & Jerrys! But I'm doing great and we find out on Tuesday what we r having!!!!! Just a few more days! I definitely will be posting that one! Also.....we bought a house!!!! Yeah!! I am beyond excited for this news b/c it is our dream house and we r just waiting to hear back on the underwriting to be done and then it could be ours...I feel so blessed in life right now. I have an amazing husband and a beautiful daughter with one on the way. Rob's job is such a blessing for us through this economy also and I can't tell you how good that feels when times are so scary! I owe evrything to the Lord b/c my life has been so blessed since coming into this lifestyle and living righteously, HE has given us so much happiness in life.... So there's my life lately and here are a ton of pictures to go along with this novel!!!

Easter was fun coloring eggs with Bella and my mom, except bell just wanted to drink the dye b/c she thought it was juice!

I also made some really cute bows for Bella over Easter break....look how cute...I was very proud of myself haha!

The princess hard at play! She is so fun!!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR...AND COOKIES!

2009-02-23T14:53:00.001-08:00

For Valentine's Day Bella and I decided to make heart cookies! It was soooo cute, Bell had to put on her apron and hat for the baking! HaHa I think she ate like a tub of frosting throughout the process....I thought she was going to be so sick! The cookies turned out great and Bella felt like a big girl helping me! For Valentine's night, Rob planned a very romantic date for us.....it was incredible! He took me to the spa for us to get a couple's massage and it was so relaxing! Then we went to Park City for dinner at Ghiadotti's ( I think that's how u spell it) which was delicious. Our night was very romantic and we needed it before this baby comes! Happy V-Day!!

Robs Birthday Night <3

2009-02-09T15:41:00.000-08:00

For Robs birthday I wanted to plan something really special...so I took him to Happy Sumo( his favorite resturant) he loves sushi! I am not a sushi eater, but they have an amazing chicken dish I get and dinner was sooooo good! Then we came back home and I suprised him by setting up our room like a sexy little spa and he got pampered! I got him a cake from coldstone and after out little spa fun we had cake and he opened his gift.... we were bella free for the night and it was so romantic!

2009-02-09T15:28:00.000-08:00

We had treats and the kids all played and then we opened presents! Bella was the little princess of the party! My baby is two already!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

2009-01-02T21:01:00.000-08:00

This Christmas was great! Bella was so much fun opening her gifts! She was so spoiled as always!

She got a kitchen and lots of food to go with it, a dollhouse with all the rooms and a new baby with a stroller, highchair and lots of accessories. She also got a cute princess beauty salon set and a princess dress that she puts on and twirls forever! haha It's so cute!

On Christmas day she went to spend the day at grandma's with Tyler and she looked like a little diva!

Rob and I had a great holiday as well... We opened all of our presents Christmas Eve b/c we couldn't wait haha! I got a new Chi hair straightener and a new iPod ( because I always steal Robs when I go to the gym!), money for Thai Pan Trading to decorate my house alittle more, and a few other things....I was very satisfied!

Honestly...it was kind of creepy b/c I was there in the middle of the day when no one goes...I'm a big baby! haha Bella played with this little one that she thought was a puppy!
