we are moving...Moving...MOVING!!!

We are moving TOMORROW! I am so tired and worn out from packing...but it doesn't hold back my feelings of excitement AT ALL. I am so excited!

I am optimistic that it will only take me about a year to unpack everything...we have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much stuff. Or I should say, the girls have too much stuff! I think I might leave a few boxes in the garage and then wrap them at Christmas time and put them under the tree. Do you think I could get away with that? Ya, probably not with Kadie. :)

I made sure to put important things in one place (so I don't loose them like I lost my Wicked ticket - thank you again Kirsten and Ben!). Like Registration papers for Kadie, car keys, my wallet, and mascara.

Seriously?

Would someone please buy this for my birthday already!!!

Crew...4 months old

Crew one week old

One month

Two Months

Three months

Four months

The four month marker has been so much fun!

There are so many little things about Crew that are starting to show his personality.

He already gets his feelings hurt... I swear. He will be a sensitive little guy like his sister Kadie. :) He rubs the back of his hair with his left hand when he is tired. He sucks on his fingers ALWAYS, smiles his giant smile all of the time, and laughs when Laney and Kadie make faces at him. I think he will be a food lover like Laney, he stares at my dinner when I eat and whines when I don't give him a taste. He is also very wiggly, and this picture was hard to take...see below what he went through to get one with out him falling over.

My favorite thing is the bond I already seen between him and Josh. If he even hears a hint of Josh's voice, his eye's light up and he starts cooing. It is the sweetest thing.

Hair

A couple days ago I was brushing Laney's long blonde hair and thinking how soft and pretty it was. I had just trimmed it a couple of weeks ago and I decided that it would be so much fun to let it get even longer with her little ringlets.

This is the most recent picture I have of Laney's (used to be) long hair...

I know you will love this picture all of you. :)

Did you catch that I wrote "used to be" hair? Yes that is correct.

This was what I found this afternoon...only a lot more than what I am holding.

First I got red and huffy...then I almost started to cry.

It was like the time I went and got my hair cut at supercuts,

and ended up with one side a whole inch shorter than the other.

I am still sad about it.

(Plus Morgan's wedding is coming up and now I can't do Laney's hair up. Sad. )

I had to be careful not to cut it too short, there are still a lot of pieces that are only about 2 inches long all over, but they kind of look like layers.

Here. Is. The. Culprit!!!

Those dimples are trouble I am telling you!

All in all, I think it turned out okay.

Hair grows.

Sneaky

Laney has tried before, but not succeeded at climbing in Crew's crib.

Last week Laney wanted to play dolls. When I asked her to go get her baby doll so we could play together, naturally I should have realized she may try to get Crew.

At least he stayed asleep!

Birthday Girl

I can't believe that I am already 20! Time flies.

Well, I tried to fool you. I guess my having a 7 year old daughter makes that hard to believe. I am 28. 28! I remember watching My Best Friends Wedding with Julia Roberts years ago and thinking that 28 seemed so old for them to be. I swear I still feel young, and the closer I get to 30 the more excited I get about life and living it. But I hate how time just seems to keep speeding up faster and faster with every passing year. If I could have asked for more time for my birthday I would have. My mom says she always wanted one day a week that no one else knew about but her, and now I know why. :)

I know as you get older everyone acts like birthdays don't matter too much, or that they don't care really if they get to do anything really cool. Then inside, these people (all of us adults...wink wink) are really hoping that at least one person will remember or call or bring something by.

I just have to thank ALL OF YOU, for making my birthday a good one and making me feel loved.

I really had a great day, and it did feel special!

Leisa :)

P.S. For my birthday I got breakfast, some peanut butter m&ms, bought a bunch of furniture on Craigslist, got some shoes, some delicious cookies, an adorable hand made pin cushion, some more shoes, a few phone calls, a shirt, another shirt, some birthday cards, and even some money. All from so many wonderfully thoughtful people that I love! I also got a sweet fridge and I can't wait to use it. If you clicked on the link let me tell you that Josh got an awesomely fantastic deal on this baby.

And for those of you that are wondering, we are RENTING a HOUSE and are in the process of moving, and it is the most exciting thing in the world!

Obama

I just found while looking on delias.com that I have the same birthday as Barack Obama.

What the ??? He can't share my special day!

I also know Ezra Taft Benson had the same birthday too, so I guess that neutralizes it.

You can go here to see what celebrities are born on the same day as you.

Unfortunately church leaders don't count as celebrities,

except in the Mormon world.

Josh has cool people like Lance Armstrong, no fair!
