That's what I am talking about.

I have been able to stay home with the kids since having Thomas and it has been so much fun. It has been quite the adjustment to being the entertainer again but for the most part I am entertained by the kids. Malorie is at the stage where she is a sponge for things that are said. For example we saw an infomercial for a product called 'Smooth Away' and now she has a pretend 'Smooth Away' that she helps us remove unwanted hair with.

Another favorite saying of Malorie's is, "That's what I am talkin' about." This is said when we see something that she likes or it is used when trying to clarify something she says.

I love having Malorie as our "middle child". She is a great playmate for Annalie and she will be a great competitor for Thomas. :) Thus ending my ode to Malorie.

More pictures of Thomas

I just wanted to share a few photos of Thomas for all of our out of town family and friends. It is his two week birthday today and he is already so mature for his age. :) The girls have been a HUGE help and love having a little brother! We sure are lucky to have such a great family!


I love Thomas' face in this picture...it is like he knows what to expect from Malorie. :)

Happy boy!

Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy!

After much anticipation, our little Thomas Matthew Day was born on June 2 at 8:05am. He we 8lb 3oz and 20 inches long! Even though the hospital staff kept saying he was such a "big boy", he is very tiny in our arms! He is so perfect and soft as little babies are. We are getting used to our new family dynamic. Annalie loves being the helper and Malorie is realizing that her turf has officially been stepped on. :) We are adjusting to a new night time routine of less sleep and a day time routine full of kisses for a cute little boy.

Thomas Matthew Day!

Go, go, go Joseph

Before bed each night the girls choose a CD to listen to while they go to sleep. The other night Annalie picked 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' soundtrack. When she was Malorie's age she and I would ride along and Annalie would be the narrator and I would be Joseph and we could basically sing the entire soundtrack. I feel as though I have failed Malorie as a mom because this was the first time that she had ever heard it. Anyway, Sunday morning the girls and I are driving to church (as Matt is already there for meetings) and we were listening to 'Joseph' again. As we are singing along Annalie said, "Mom, Joseph has a really good voice!" I said, "Yes he does! It is Donny Osmond." To which Annalie replied, "No, Mom, he has a REALLY good voice! I mean, he is A LOT better than Dad!" "Yep."

I guess Donny has a new fan.

Camping In

Since Colorado weather does not permit us to camp out at this time of year and since my pregnant belly and pending baby will not let us camp out this summer, we are lucky enough to have received a beach tent from Great Grandma Lucy to have a camp in! We put the tent up in the toy room and the girls slept there for about a week. We finally told them that they needed to sleep in their own beds....but not without one last night. :)

Easter Time

We had a great Easter! We had multiple Easter egg hunts where the girls were very good at finding and shaking the plastic eggs to see if they could guess their treasure.

Malorie holding up her new found egg -- yes this picture will be used for blackmail in the future. :)


Annalie filling her basket with goodies.


We were then able to get dressed in our Sunday best and go and learn about what Easter really means to us. We are so grateful for our Savior and the sacrifice that he made for us!

Goin' back to Cali

We went back to California for a visit last weekend and it was quite fun. We went to the beach which the girls were super excited about.

While we were there we were able to go to the San Diego Zoo. We never really did this when we lived down there and it was quite a treat. All of the animals performed for us so we got some great pictures of them!

The girls with the pink flamingos!

We ended the day at the Zoo with the Sky Ride.



Overall it was a lot of fun and a lot of visiting with our friends. We look forward to visiting again!
