Brother Sister Time

So the love affair has begun...they are starting to really be best friends, and I can't get enough of it! River adores her, and watches her every move, unfortunately....this will be a problem for me soon enough!!!

January 09

Time seems to be flying by in our house this month....I can't believe it is almost February, and that I will be 27! We have been able to get out of the house for a walk a few times a week, although it is freezing.....we make it work. The kids enjoy their stroller, especially since it has a little speaker in the canopy you can hook your ipod up to...genius!




River is getting so big and strong, and now loves to sit up in his "special" chair....too cute! I can't believe he is doing all of this, and is not yet 4 months old. Paige is a little weed too, and her legs are finally catching up with the rest of her body in length.


We celebrated Justin's birthday last night, as he left for Las Vegas this morning for a 3 week long exercise out there at Nellis AFB. Happy 29th honey!

Casey Barbara Allphin

My oldest and most adored cousin Quinn and his amazingly wonderful wife Danielle welcomed their first child into the world last Saturday morning. She is Casey Barbara, and she is perfect! I am so excited Quinn has finally joined us in the miracle that is parenthood....you are forever changed! Casey has a particularly special middle name, after our Grandmother Barbara...who we all love and miss dearly. I bet Grandma is so proud Casey will be carrying around her name...
what a sweet tribute. We are so excited to meet her, and introduce her to her crazy "cousins" Paige and River!
Love you guys!!!

How I feel..

First Snow Fall

We have had over six and a half feet of snow fall since December up here in Spokane...no exaggeration! I am so over this weather!

My Other Half

Justin has to leave us again for over three weeks....and he is missing his birthday, so I wanted him to know I will be thinking of him on his special day. I can't believe it is the sixth birthday of his we are celebrating as a couple. Time is flying by! Love you!

My Mini-Man

He is getting so big, and funny. He just started blowing bubbles, and cracking himself up! Man I am going to miss this stage...they can do NO wrong!
