Pathetic Blogger...

I Apologize....

I am the worst blogger ever, I haven't blogged in several months! To be honest, I have a good reason. We've been insanely busy.
Those that don't know, Cory and I bought out his fathers Chiropractic office this past April due to a sudden retirement. Since then we've been soo busy juggling this new business, moving into a rental house, unpacking, juggling my small hair business, and our new callings. Phew....,
But other than that we've been great. We are so blessed to be where we are now. It was a long and scary couple months figuring out where we were suppose to be. But the Lord has defiantly directed us to where we are now.
Our girls are growing up so fast. I was looking back at some pictures even a couple months ago, and they've both changed so much! Makayla is talking and running around everywhere. She turns 2 in December!
Her hair has gotten so light and very curly. So cute! She loves her big sister, but can be a little stinker to her sometimes. Haha.
Miley is turning 3 in a couple weeks!! Seriously? I look at her now, and she is so big to me. She's so smart. Maybe I'm just bias, but she knows the whole alphabet and there sounds, all the shapes, colors, and our most biggest achievement is that she's potty trained!!!! Just in time for her to start pre-school next month!! We're so excited for her to learn so more, and meet some new friends!
We'll I'd love to write more, but I and hear Makayla waking up from her nap....

Finally....Makayla walking!

Finally....Makayla walking!!

March 27 at the ripe old age of 15 months...Makayla took her first 5 steps.  She giggled and laughed the whole way...absolutely adorable!!! It now has been 4 days since her first 5 steps and has skyrocketed! She's going from one end of the room to the other side!! It's like all a sudden she decided, hmmm I feel like walking today and just got up and did it.  She has brought so much joy to our lives...I don't know how we ever lived without her!!! 

Valentine Pictures

These pictures are just so dang CUTE! I made an amazing friend up here that happens to be a photographer! For a play date this week we got together with a another friend and look some fun Valentine pictures. It was a lot of fun dolling up the girls. This was the first time putting curls in Miley's hair...and surprisingly she stayed still!! (I let her play a game on my phone)
I just love there tutu's, it made the pictures perfect!

'ahhh." She's so happy! Or so happy that she gets a sucker!

mmm, yummy paper heart

So sweet. I love this one!

I LOVE this one of Makayla.

Us girls!

December!

DECEMBER!

Man, oh man the month of December has been so CRAZY! Probably the craziest month in our whole married life!

1)We started out the month celebrating Makayla FIRST birthday on the 7th!! I know everyone says that there kids grow up fast, and it's so true. I can't believe that this time last year we had little newborn. I remember taking newborn pictures and stuffing her into a stocking. How did she get so BIG so quickly?
So here are a few things about Makayla....
*She is a mimic. She tries to copy everything Miley says and does. Really cute.
*She has the cutest 'zoolander' face ever. She does this quite a bit.
* We call her our 'scooter bug'. She gets where ever she wants by scooting on her belly like a GI-Joe. (Miley actually had the same exact scoot)
*Makayla is super tall for her age, 95 percentile for height.
*She has been SICK for 3 months straight! First the stomach flu, then a head cold, then an ear infection, stomach flu again, and now another head cold!  I don't know what it is about this girl getting sick all the time, it's no fun for the both of us!
* When she's not sick, Makayla is a very content, easy going, and happy baby. She always has been. We love our happy Makayla!
*She has 8 teeth!
*Some of her favorite foods include: Pirates booty, bananas, bread, pasta, yogurt, and any jarred baby food. She is such a stinker at trying new foods, but were working on it. :)
*She's just discovered stairs! (We had stairs but we always blocked them off cuz they are so steep)
*She had her first haircut a month ago. I know, I know she doesn't need one, but I can't help myself, it's what I do!
*She love's earrings, or those that are wearing them!
*She is a binky baby, and the funny thing is that she only likes those green newborn ones.
* She's loves being outside. Going on walks, swinging on swings, and playing on the grass
*Love's her baths, especially with her sister.
*She's mamma's cuddle bug, when Miley is asleep and it's just me and her.

I could go on and on about this girl, she is such a fun girl!

We celebrated  by going to Red Robin! Miley had fun feeding Makayka her birthday ice cream.

It's my birthday!

Opening presents!

We had another small party for Makayla at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

2) Cory Graduated!!! We've been waiting a long THREE years to get to this point! It really still feels so surreal to us. Did we just graduate? I say "we" because it defiantly has takin both of us to put him through school. All those long hours at school and clinic has paid off.


The best part about Cory's graduation was that not only did his family come see this glorious event...but his brother Kyle drove 27 hours just to see him graduate. The best part was that Cory had no clue that his brother was coming. As Cory was walking down to his seat at the ceremony, there was his brother standing in the aisle. It was an emotional moment for the both of them.  Ahhh brotherly love :)

The Osborne Family! It's so nice to be supported and loved by family and friends....THANK YOU!

Cory and Kyle.

Doesn't he look so cute?

3)For those that don't know WE'VE MOVED back to Washington. We're currently living with Cory's parents until we can afford and find a place to rent.
But man, packing and moving sure takes A LOT out of you, especially since we did it on the day of Cory's graduation and that we have 2 kids. I really didn't realize how much STUFF we have until we started pulling everything out and into the moving truck....which by the way was the same size of truck we moved to California with! What was my husband thinking, thinking that we could fit our stuff in that truck. But he ushered me over and over that he could do it....man i LOVE it when I'm RIGHT! The important part is that we made it to WA with all our stuff, yes we had to shove stuff into our car, my sister-in-laws car, and the front seat of the moving truck. It was a tight ride up!
We started out our road trip with my nephew having the stomach flu! Poor kid, we felt so bad for him! Then the flu spread to...Cory, Miley, Makayla, my in-laws, Krystal, and Dallin. Just when we thought we were in the clear we all cought bad head colds, including Makayla...again!

Part of our road trip. I just love it when there sleeping, there so cute. I love this picture, she has her tongue sticking out and everything.

4) Cory started WORK!! I can't believe he's started so quickly from graduation. It's so nice to finally be making money now...the only sad part is that we started work during the holidays so we wont be able to see him that much. Still money is nice :)
Cory's really excited about working with Pete Hansen, we've heard lot of good things about him and his business. He's planning on working with him for 2 years, and during this time he plans to learn as much as he can about Pete's business and his success rate.
This will be another wild adventure, but were ready!!


5) Ummm...Christmas is this week? What? How did that happen? I guess I'll be posting more later....

FALL

FALL!!

I absolutely love the fall season, it defiantly is my favorite time of year! Since we've been living here in the bay area, we've made a tradition of going to Half Moon Bay. This time around we decided to go during the weekday instead of the weekend. And boy, it does make a difference! We didn't have to deal with all the crazy traffic, lines, and hoards of people. In fact, there was like no one there at all, no one was even there to supervise...so we got to do all the things that you usually have to pay money for....like the petting zoo, jummy house, playground, and train ride.  It was a lot of fun, were so sad that this is our last time that we get to enjoy Half Moon Bay :(

ng

For some reason whenever we go to half moon bay, we have a crying picture...I guess it's a tradition. haha

Miley loved this 'choo cho' train!

 

She loved it even more when mommy went on the ride with her!  I barely fit in it, haha!

She got brave enough to pet the goat.

'peek-a-boo'

 Orchard Fun!

So I was able to go pick some fruit and vegetables at a local orchard with Cory's sisters family. Cory was gone at a seminar in Chicago...would of been more fun with him there, but we still had lots of fun without him.  The apples were so delicious!

Absolutely LOVE this girl!

Miley and Carter holding hands....so sweet. :)

Happy Halloween!!

Since Halloween falls on Sunday this year we celebrated it early by going to our ward Trunk or Treat. It was a fun crazy night! We didn't last too long, Makayla goes to bed at 7....

The Cheer squad...and our Jock!!  haha.   

Miley was a SeaHawks cheerleader, Makayla was a BYU cheerleader, I was a Timpview cheerleader (yes, that was my old high school cheer outfit), and Cory was a football Jock from SF.

Miley are her best friend Lizzy or 'izzy' as Miley calls her.  Were going to miss you when we leave... :(

My happy BYU cheerleader

Now isn't that the cutest SeaHawks cheerleader you've ever seen?
