Jingle Jingle Jingle Bell Rock..

It has been a good holiday season.
No snow which makes it hard to feel like it's Christmas time even though I haven't had a white Christmas in over 13 years but I remember! 
I felt a little unplanned this year.
I felt as even on Christmas Rusty and I were not ready. 
We still don't have a stocking for her ha but she won't remember.
This year was with My family. 
Josh thought it would be easier with the babies to have it up in Phoenix at his house.

Christmas Eve 
We played spoons, a type of charades, had homemade chicken noodle soup, and had tim tam slams which is a tradition for my brother and Ashley from Australia! 







Rylee and Miss Brinley

 She is one strong baby!





 You wouldn't believe how much she loved this swing..put her right to sleep!



Christmas 
We went over in the morning and opened presents, saw the Hobbit 2, and hung out the rest of the day.















We all giggle at the difference of our two babies. Mine is a chunk and for only being two weeks apart their weight difference is hilarious! Brinley is growing but Rylee is just packing on the pounds! But my belly was huge so it doesn't surprise me how big Miss Rylee is.



Next year will be a little more fun when they can maybe actually kinda open their presents and you can actually get them a toy instead of clothes this year. My mom did get both girls The Little Mermaid and a baby book!




























Christmas is forever changed it no longer is for us its for the kids and no longer is there really a surprise which therefore isn't really exciting but its fun to see the kiddos light up and be happy! 
Rusty is officially a dad got ties and socks. (He really needed them). But I laugh cuz I'm married to a man that if he wants it he isn't going to wait till Christmas to get it are you serious! So what do you get them? Things they need! Rusty did get the new xbox so he could play with his brothers which I slightly regret him doing now ha. I got my new computer and printer! Love them!


Anyways We also had a good new years! 
Which we were laying in bed before 12 so therefore its changed since you have kids as well. 
Not forever will it be this way but right now she's too little and momma is too tired ha! 
We did go over to Josh and Aubreys' for a bit but everyone has gotten kinda sick and they have a newborn too! 











Did i mention that Eli and Siciley had their baby too! They named her Sawyer Faye. 

We have one more Moriah's here in a few weeks! Hers is a boy! I think they are going for the name Brody!


The years are gunna be fun having all these close cousin on both sides! 
To the year 2014 don't know if you can beat 2013 
Rusty got into RSI and Graduated
I got pregnant and had our baby Girl
We had our 2 year anniversary
We moved to Gilbert
and we have just grown and learned so much! 
So 2014 bring it on!

Rylee Diann

Miss Rylee Diann is over a month now.
Looking at pictures I cannot believe how big she has gotten! 
We went to her month old check up and she weighs 12lbs
She is in the 95% tile for her weight and height of the kids her age.
She is my chubby baby! 
Although she is chubby (even weighs more than Leah who is a month older than her) I have had some days where I felt she was starving. 
The doctor looked at me and was like "oh no she is not!"
But let me tell you breast feeding is not easy. I still have days when she latches on that it hurts. Or days when she sucks so hard I have to pull her off and switch sides because I can't take it. And not to mention it sucks to have to do it in front of people. If i could just whip it out I seriously would. Having to go somewhere and segregate yourself sucks and the covering up is a hassle. Lets just say it's not my favorite and I have come close to giving up and you become less sensitive to being modest. 
Anyways that's my rant for that.. A bit too much info..I'm sorry.

Since she was born she is on a time frame of every 4 hours she eats and sleeps those 4 hours. 
She has her moments that she is awake but it doesn't last too long.
These are some of my favorite pictures taken of her within a month and a half and she already changes a lot! 


















































She isn't really a crier. At night she fusses and if i really ignored her she'd cry but not a horrible cry. Her cry makes me sad cuz it's so dang cute. 

She holds her head up amazingly well for a newborn..seriously since the day she was born she could hold it by herself pretty well. (Dr. Nielson is always impressed)

She has started to smile a little bit. When she is hungry she fusses and the minute i turn her on her side to feed she gets this little grin and it makes me laugh cuz she knows what is about to happen.

She makes all these noises when she sleep and sometimes it sounds like she is pissed. The doc says her grunts and noises are just her figuring out her body and herself.

Sometimes she freaks out when she is feeding which also makes me not want to do it in public cuz she sometimes squirms and starts yelling and thrashing around almost head butting me then I pull her up and a min later this huge burp comes up and then she is totally normal.

There are days I'm exhausted and the moment I am up for the day she goes to sleep and its like mom i just want you to get up so I can sleep..and I can't even get mad because you look at her and she slightly smiles in her sleep and its just too dang cute.

When she is awake her mouth is in a shape of an o. And she arches her back to look at any kind of light she can find. She's a mover and man she is strong!

I haven't gotten out of the house much cuz it kinda takes a lot to get out of the house.
 Ashley and I tried shopping the other day with both of them and really it wasn't that bad but man it took a lot to do all of it. Do you take 2 cars? Both strollers don't fit in the car. Can't get one of the bases out of the car cuz your husband put it in too tight. You arrive and have to feed one. One pees through her diaper. You go to a couple stores and the other one has to eat. One cries almost the whole way home cuz she is still hungry. -this was our day ha which sounds hilarious but makes you not want to do it everyday

I don't know how mom's do it when they have jobs and have a newborn or just have other kids. I have a hard enough time having my day start at 12 trying to shower, do dinner , and keep the house running.

But i want her to slow down not just in gaining a pound a week but she is already getting old. I try to take it all and to take videos and lots of pictures..
