never put these on & when i saw them today i wanted to cause this baby girl is SO CUTE!
rees with my assistant :)
rees loves paige & watches everything she does. when i want rees to look a certain way, i just have paige go there & talk to rees.
my idea was to take each month in a different place, but with the same chair. for the first 6 months we stayed around our house, but now i hope to venture further out.
this month we went to one of our favorite parks, garfield park.
we're done mom...
where's that dollar you owe us???
we love you...
happy birthday!!

since the girls were out of school we had big plans!
we were going to check off some of our "california to dos" before we move...
but we got a flat tire :(
and that took longer than expected since they weren't able to fix it.
so an impromptu plan B was to stay close to home & hike Eaton Canyon...
we love a great climbing tree...
rees didn't make a peep for the entire 3 hours we hiked. she slept a little & then just took all the sights in.
after the hike we hurried to wynnie & mya's last tennis lesson (they've been taking a little class through the city) can you believe i never took a single picture of them in the class? what is happening to me?
while they were in class i ran to trader joes for dinner...chicken & salad. we love trader joes & are happy to report that there is one in reno. it will be getting a lot of our business come this summer.

a tour of the research lab with daddy...
we got to watch jer work on his research project (studying different medications that help premies develope their lungs)
the girls loved seeing the mice & got a great lesson on science & research.
i know he's my hubby & i've been along for this ride, but sometimes i'm just so amazed at what he does!

on thursday we took rees to meet dr. chamit...her in utero hero!
that's terry on the left, she was the greatest nurse & always took care of everything for me. dr. chmait & terry were both such a tremendous blessing for our family.
they loved how paige knew just what to do for the camera...
rees (who has had stranger anxiety even with people she often sees) was a doll for everyone at the office. she let all of them hold her & sat with dr. chamit the entire time we talked!
we love you dr. chmait!
we had a couple of fun filled valentine weeks, most of which i failed to snap photos of, ending with several v-day parties.
paige had 2 parties in addition to her pre-school class one.
monday she had a cookie frosting party at grey's house & on tuesday she had a ward party.
can you tell she was happy?
after we all got home i attempted a valentine pic of my girlies...
oh well :)
while i made jer one of his favorite meals (lasagna & mousse) the girls played & played & sorted through their valentines.
jer had to work valentine's night, but he was able to come home (with flowers!) for dinner.
before we got that one above, there was this one... :)
it was a great valentines :)
since i'm pretty pathetic at keeping up on this here blog, a marathon post is in order...
we have to hit the park AT LEAST once a week, more than that is better:
these two are best buddies:
paige turned that box into a car & had me pushing them all over the house, i counted that as my workout for the day.
i told jer that one of my favorite daily rituals is feeding rees. it really is a joy to watch how happy she is tasting different things.
rees still rolls & rolls until she gets stuck...
she discovered that her head fits nicely in the rocking chair...
since rees was trapped, paige snapped a green leash on her & called rees her kitty:
paige loves to write letters & can write her name:
these sweet gals took me out for mexican for my birthday:
i still have the girls take turns sleeping with me when jer is working nights:
it was mya's turn to be "apple of the eye" at school, she worked hard coloring her info sheet:
when i texted jer this photo of mya at school with her stuff he said, "i hope she feels special, she really is such a good girl." and it's so so true.
for about a week & a half rees has been getting up on all 4s!!!
and rees does the same squishy face that paige used to do now, she'll srunch up her noise & breath fast:
paige started a horse class through the parks & rec:
and she also started a ballet class that jenny olsen (friend from our ward) is teaching. it's a pretty fun class since it's all of paige's church friends:
wynnie is such wonderful reader now...
on thursdays i take paige & rees to story time at the library:
as for jer, he's been busy, busy getting tonz of paperwork done for his medical lisence in nevada...can you believe that he's done in about 4 months? crazy!
