Update!

AURORA is getting bigger/chubbier! She loves to talk to us! She has such a sweet little voice! She love to eat her hands, and when she gets really mad and starts yelling, she tenses up her whole body and tries to sit up, I think it’s her way of working out her abs! :+) She loves her bouncer,(Thank you Christine and Andrew for letting us use it!) the past few days she’ll just sit there for 20 min, playing and talking, it’s a very nice break for mommy, plus it gives me time to do stuff around the house. She hasn’t been sleeping as much as she use to. But she sure does LOVE to eat! We pulled out her bumbo chair,(her big girl chair) She looks so cute in it. I can’t believe she’ll be 3 months this Sunday! I remember when Jonathan started the academy; She was only 2 weeks. And now the academy is coming to an end and she’s 3 months! Time sure does fly when you’re looking back.
Her new favorite thing is to watch/listen to her daddy play the ukulele. Some time that’s how she’ll fall asleep, I find it to be very sweet and cute!








JONATHAN is doing great in the Academy, we have 10 more days left until graduation! We both agree that the first 3 weeks were the hardest, and after that the weeks just started flying by. We are so excited for the Academy to be over, and we’re ready to take our next step! What is our next step? We will see!!!!! :+) God always seems to work everything out in our lives. I’m sure the beginning of next year we will have a change in our lives, It always seems to work out like that. But we enjoy it!





SNUGGLES has gotten a lot bigger, and also more protective over Aurora and me. Mainly Aurora. If at any time Aurora starts crying, she first starts off with licking her toes, because one time it worked, and she stopped crying and started giggling. And if that doesn’t work, she’ll come get me, and won’t stop whining until I pick her up. Or if Aurora is taking a nap and I’m on the deck sweeping, or raking leaves, and she wakes up, snuggles will lay by the front door whining until once again, I pick her up. At first I was worried about how snuggles would react to Aurora, but I’m not any more, I’m sure when Aurora is bigger, they’ll be trouble together.



We received very little snow, but enough to get us excited!

Polar Bear!

Aurora was a Polar Bear for halloween.. how did we come up with that? Jonathan came across the fabric at joanns, and said "look babe, she could be a polar bear!" So we bought the fabric, and i started sewing! My first time making a costume. It was a lot of fun.. and also A LOT of work!
Here's our Polar Bear!

STORY TIME!!!

First let me say that the squirrels up here love to stand in front of my dog as she’s locked up on the deck and taunt her. Of course Snuggles goes CRAZY and won’t stop barking until they leave.
AND NOW MY STORY
So I’m standing in my living room enjoying my coffee at 2pm… we had a long night. Anyway. I’m enjoying my cup of coffee and the peace and quiet the mountain has to offer.
When all of a sudden our dog starts freaking out, running back and forth on the deck barking. So I open the door, thinking that me coming out will scare the stupid thing away. NOPE. All it does is run half way up the tree and sits there. Well I decided to take care of things myself… I grabbed the BB gun. Our BB gun has a scope on it. So it’s hard to miss on the first shot. I pumped it 3 times, opened the door, made sure no one was watching and took my shot. Don’t worry; I didn’t kill it. I just showed it who’s boss… right? I quickly put the BB gun back in the house, grabbed my coffee, walked back out side, and went back to enjoying my peace and quiet… Well the squirrel started making its stupid noise… I guess it would be a squirrel call. Well it finally ran away. 10 min. later it came back. But this time it brought a friend. Now there’s 2 of them. I would have shot it again. But that would have required me to really be out in the open. What can I say, I like to go sniper style! :+)
Now I’m sitting here thinking. I need a flannel shirt and a wooden rocking chair to put on the deck. So I can sit there sipping my coffee, while rocking back and forth with my BB gun lying in my lap. What do you think? Can you picture it?

Smiles!!!

I love it when she smiles!




TUMMY TIME!!!!
