FINALLY!!


So we finally have everything in working order after 11 months and can update this thing. So here's 11 months in a nutshell-Enjoy:)





Here are some memorable JumpZone shots. Rach and the kids were able to come down in February for a visit. She informed us she was pregnant with Baby Jett so we thought the Jump Zone was just the place to celebrate:) 




Baby Eliza around 6 weeks old! Big stuff loves to eat :)




Happy Valentines Day!!  Reece couldn't wait to open her little gift for her and Eliza. Matching Jammies-how can you go wrong




Reece can't seem to get enough of her little sister. She constantly wants to touch her. She even attempted to carry her off the couch while mom and dad weren't watching and Eliza fell right off. Good thing babies are tough.





Our sweet little Eliza is so social. She hates to be left alone and enjoys smiling if she can make eye contact ;)

Eliza was  blessed February 19th with cousin, Krew. We opted for the joint blessing being that they are only 6 weeks apart :0. I believe it turned out great, Big thanks to  Carly's side of the family: They did just about all of it and it turned out wonderful!  I wasn't as on the ball like I was with Reece's. I forgot a pen to write down details of her blessing but I do remember that it was so sweet and the spirit was so strong! Eliza you are such a sweet part of our lives and I can't wait to see what the future bring.












Sweet girl at 8 weeks old! 








At Eliza's 2 months check up- 12 pounds 5 ounces (90%), 22 1/2 inches long (60%) and head at 90%. She has a little flat spot on her head because she favors one side of her neck over the other. Had to start neck stretches which she's not such a fan of.



Father's First Blessing on March 14th. Sick little thing but still so happy considering. Weight up to 13 pounds 7 ounces. Still enjoys eating even though tough time breathing.





Out for a walk in our new stroller. Little chilly but it was nice being outside ;)

Grandma and Papa Curtis took Reece to see Big Blue. She loves it!



Happy St Patricks DAY!!





If its not one, it's another. Reece doing a breathing treatment. Poor sick kids:(









Went to the Paradise Easter Egg hunt. Reece had a blast. She was sure she was going  to catch a bunny, and she came close but good thing she couldn't keep up. Eliza wasnt quite sure what was going on but enjoyed the company:)












Easter morning:) She couldn't wait to find some eggs and see if the Easter bunny came. Sure enough he found our place and brought her a battery for her power wheels which she's been so patiently waiting for



All dressed up for Easter Sunday! Cutest little girls in the world !!!






Eliza's 3 months old!  Loves to grab things-fingers, blankets, HAIR just about anything she can ahold of:) Her eye ducts are FINALLY draining. No more goop:) She loves to hear herself make noise. She's still loving to eat. I tried some cereal added to her milk to help suffice her some and she enjoyed it:)



Enough with just adding the cereal to her bottle. We opted to see how she'd do with it. Took it ok. Added some applesauce later and I wish I could have gotten and picture of her face, but I believe it was a little too tart for her liking.




Went to Baby Animal Days at the Heritage Center. I forgot my camera but took a few shots on my phone Ill try and get uploaded soon. Reece loved it! Mostly the baby bear cubs. It was very busy, as always and we had to wait in a long line to see them, but once we got here it was all worth it to see the joy in her eyes. I'm sure Eliza enjoyed them too:)

To the Jump Zone again with my friend Jamie and her 2 boys. Always a good place to burn off energy:0


Eliza's not such a fan of laying down. Always trying to sit up and be apart of the action. She loves her bouncer because she can sit like Reece and feel like a big girl;)


Reece enjoyed her first bowing experience. She did pretty good. She got a little tired of it near the end but loved the shoes as you can imagine. She even wants to get a pair of her very own. My little show girl :)

Belly laughed at Reece! It was so cute; When Reece walks in the room, Eliza will keep her eyes on her the whole time with a big smile on her face! She just loves her sister so much. The bond I see between them is so sweet and special-nothing  can quite compare to the sisterly connection!



My sister-in-law Morgan introduced us to the Bountiful Rec Center's indoor pool. It's quite a neat place. Slide, lazy river and a littel kiddie play place. The kiddos loved it!



4 months OLD!!! Like to eat, mostly bananas. She likes to 'talk' back when you talk to her and she's such a smiley happy baby! At her check up she weighed 15 pounds 13.5 ounces (92%), 25 1/2 inches tall (90%) and her head was in the 85%. She loves to suck on her hands!





My sweet Reece turns 3!!! I can't believe how big she is. She's turned into my little sidekick! She's such a great helper and so caring and aware of others needs. She likes to be independent and is strong willed and can be a little spit fire but she has the sweetest heart and will say things that will just make you melt! I have a list of sayings she's said written down but I'm not quite sure where I've placed it the the chaos of life. When I do i'll come back and insert them. Reece you my little peanut and we love you so very much!





She received some fun gifts! Thanks all. She got clothes, which she always a fan of, a new bike from mom and dad and Papa Reed gave her some money so she wanted to go pick out a helmet. My sweet, conscious little one!





Not sure who enjoyed Buzz Lightyear doll more, her or Eliza. Reece is such a sweetheart, she said Eliza could have it after she saw how much she liked eating it. 



 

As you can see, The outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Roskelley was quite a hit:)

Along with the double stroller and babies with a change of outfits.


Thanks to Brightyn for 'Goldie'.
Thanks to Nana for the coloring castle ! 


Reece wanted to go to Lagoon and the Zoo for her birthday. We went Hogle Zoo with Nana and Pap Lynn, which I can't remember the last time I went but the kids loved all the animals! We talked James and Morgan and Nick parents into getting Lagoon seasons passes with us. We figured it out that if you go more than twice it's worth it and it was worth every penny. IT was a blast!! And surprisingly the kiddie land has some fun rides. And I like the fact that with season passes you don't have to stay all day which comes in handy with a baby. You just stop in for a few hours, ride a few rides and head out! perfect!!











We stopped but Uncle Mikes after. Love this shot of the cousins!

Sporting her new helmet!




Eliza loves to growl. She'll growl and then belly laugh. It's so funny!

Reece is so excited she can't stand it. I was packing for a little weekend trip to St Anthonys. Reece loves riding in the Razor and loves the sand dunes. Extra bonus- the hotel has a pool:)




5 Month Old Eliza!! She's found her feet, and loves grab them. She enjoys other babies. Jake and Erin came up and she saw the twins for the first time and just kept looking at them and smiling.  Eliza's such a snuggly baby, I just love it. She still gassy and some get pretty potent but you just look at her smily, happy face and the smell lightens.















Reece started into gymnastics. She's loved it and has become very good at it. The teacher always comments after each class how surprised she is that she's only done it a few times and it so skilled and catches on to quickly.

Haynes were able to come down for a visit. Rachel being heavy with child was unable to hit up the boat ride around Hyrum Dam but the kids sure enjoyed it!




Sits up, still a little tipsy, especially when Reece comes in for a hug but she loves being a big girl! She can even drink from a straw sippy cup! B





Another Lagoon stop-Always a joy!!


Grandma and Papa Curtis bought these two, 2 of the cutest matching 4th of July dresses along with all the accessories to go with them, they much know Reece!  Thanks again!









6 Months old! 18 pounds 3.5 ounces (90%), 25 3.4 inches long (90%) and head in the 93%. She loves water but not a fan of the bright sun. She sleeps well during the night and loves to drink and eat, mostly popcorn!! Our sweet, happy baby. Reece loves pictures with her!!











We finally sold our home!! After much looking and discussion, we've opted to build a home in Wellsville. We're living in an apartment until it's finished. It's not too bad, It has a kids pool and a nice hot tub! We're hoping for the end of February or so to have it finished. Here are some pics or our old place. It was a great home, Just a little small for 2 kids, a dog, and my collecting skills.






Reece started Preschool at Pams! She's loving it! She's growing up too fast but is becoming such a 
sweet, beautiful woman!


Eliza has found her vocal cords. So happy until she's not:0 Doesn't like to be alone or you hear it!

















The girls and I joined my friend, Heather and her boys to Willow Parks boo at the zoo. I'd never been before but thy loved it. ill think we're going to have to make it a tradition. it was fun. Dressing up, activities, animals and candy. How can you go wrong:)





The girls are pretty excited for the American West Heritage Center Corn Maze :)  We went with the Rutledges. It was a blast!
Petting the baby goats:)

Mack and Reece are best buddies :)

Reece was even daring enough to ride a pony, only after Mack and Nash were wanting to but either way, She tried it and LOVED IT, despite the terror in her face


They did pretty well in the rope maze
But the hay maze was their favorite i do believe:)


Love this shot of them:) We got lost in the corn maze as you can guess and the two youngest had had it, so we ended up having to bust threw a row and make our own way out. We weren't the only group




9 months old!! head measuring off the charts, height off the charts (29. 3/4 inches ) and weight 85% at 21 pounds, She crawling and wants to do everything that Reece does. They are a handful but so fun to be around:) She's still having bowl issues, but still so sweet;) She can't get enough popcorn-definate Fisher trait- and LOVES to shred things. She'll take a piece of toilet paper, and just keep tearing it until there's nothing left and then eat the pieces,  She loves snuggling with her blankets and will eat them too:) Sweet little stinker!


Final Lagoon trip for the season, Little cool but still enjoyable as always!





Reece is now in private gymnastic lessons. The teacher she liked stopped teaching that class and agreed to give Reece private ones. And since the other kids in that class weren't listening too well, taking up most of class to keep them on track, we opted for the private ones and she;s loving it and really good. Her teacher can't believe how quick she catches on and remembers things!





We hit up the pumpkin walk:)







Halloween!!! My little mermaid and my little strawberry! Such cute girls! They loved it!. It was kind of a hectic day being that I work that day and Nick had to go in that night so we had a short window to get to family but the girls enjoyed it all:) We even stopped by our new neighborhood and knocked on a few doors there. Reece loved going from door to door. She didn't want it to end but it was cold, dark and Nick was late so we called it a success and left :)






My 10 months old baby is growing way too fast!











The first of December, Reece had to get her tonsils and adnoids removed. She was having trouble breathing, especially at night and so we opted to have the removed. It was a tough road but it so much better now. She told me the other day, Mom, It doesn't hurt to breath any more. Poor little thing, Her tonsils were almost touching and her adnoids almost completely blocked off her nostrils. We had a scare when her scabs fell off, she was bleeding so badly we were ready to rush into the ER. She was throwing up blood like crazy and it was even coming out her know but after a blessing and getting a few cold sips down her it stopped. She's seem so much happier now. Amazing what a restful nights sleep does to a person:) She doesn't act like she always tired anymore and sometimes I have to go feel her back when she's sleeping to make sure she's still breathing because I'm so used to her snoring.

Here's our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Ive never had a fresh one before and I kinds liked it. The picking it out, the smell, and stringing of lights. It was nice :)




At the Fisher Christmas Party a special visitor came.Reece was a little timid a first but then once she realized he had a present she's was all about it. Eliza, not so much. She just screamed! Reece was so sweet. She tried to console Eliza telling her, It's ok Eliza, It's Santa Clause. She has a present for you ;)


While we were at Nanas visiting He came again:) We all sang, he asked questions and passed out presents.






Reece and ELiza opening present from Papa Seamons and Karen. We had a the Seamons Christmas Party and Danny's and it was a hit. Pizza, piniata, games, presents and family and you've got a fun time :)


We took advantage of our Hot Tub while the Haynes were here:)



Beautiful little girls on Christmas Eve!!

Christmas Morning had finally come and the best part is that the girls slept until around 830:) When Reece realized what day it was she couldn't wait to see if Santa had come and what he'd brought. She rushed out and saw a kitchen (built nice and sturdy that may have taken the elves about 2 hours to assemble) with dishes! Along with stocking and presents, It was a wonderful day. I don't think Eliza opened one present but Reece was looking out for her and 'helped' her.

Eliza's not quite sure what's going on



Eliza just laid there with her M&M candycane, it was her only defense amongst  Reece's excitement!










Reece and ELiza made handprints for Daddy. And Reece, with a little help from mom, wrote a poem about questions about daddy :) I think he liked it!
The girls with all their loot!

Christmas Day and Papa Reeds Lunch! Eliza was a little overwhelmed from all the people



Of coarse we had to hit up the Jump zone while the Haynes were here:) Reece and 'Adds' were best buddies. They were so cute playing together. Reece broke down when Nick told her that she need to say goodbye to them because they had to drive home the next day. It was so sad to see her like that. She loves being with them so much, we all do!  I wish we didn't live so far away!
