Visit from my sister!!!

My sweet sister and her husband were willing to drive all the way to Topeka!! It was so good to see family, we had a great time. We visited the Harley Davidson factory and took a tour of how they made the motorcycles, went to the zoo, the park, and ate at some delicious places! Thanks for visit!

I CAN do Crafts!!

So my wonderful friend Stephanie helped me learn how to make these cute little hair clips. It was so much fun, and I think they turned out super cute, and Brilee loves wearing them. Now I have confidence that I might be able to do more crafty things :)

Beautiful Girls!

Eating solids, yummy!

Two thumb suckers!! Oh no!!
Pretty Blue Eyes!!
I couldn't resist putting her in this little toy stroller.

WARNING: Do not try this at home!!

I am so blessed to have two beautiful little girls. They are so much fun, and they interact together so well. It is so crazy to see how fast time goes by.

Valentines Day!

This year for valentines I had Brilee help me pick out decorations and help decorate, and we ordered food and had a little family party. It was fun to hang out with our little fam. Brian got me some beautiful flowers, what a great hubby I have!!

Where to begin, I cant believe more than 2 months has passed since I blogged. We got to spend 6 weeks in Utah for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We went out for Thanksgiving because my cute sister Kat got married, it was so fun to be there for that special occasion. We had a great time with the girls this Christmas, they are both at fun ages. I am getting used to having two kids now, and things are getting a little easier to manage.

Brian and I were able to do some fun things while we were there, we went to see movies, we got to go overnight without kids, we also went to the Jazz game and sat on the 8th row, what a difference it makes. We just loved hanging out with family, staying up late, playing games, and eating lots of yummy food!

Sorry the picture is so small, but I just have to say I love these girls!!!!

Picture of our family on Thanksgiving Day. We had a good time with Brians family.

We celebrated Brilee's third birthday in Utah she had a good time with family, especially her little cousins. For some reason when it came to blowing out the candle she go all sad. Thanks to Kats wedding cake, we were able to make a few changes and it made a super cute birthday cake!

Cute little sisters hanging out!!

Brilee had her first haircut while we were in Utah, thanks to her wonderful Aunt Ashlie.

The boys off on their annual rabbit hunt, they always have a good time!!!

Enjoying our date to the Jazz game

I also love these girls, it was so fun getting together will quite a few of my college running girls, it is so fun to remember the college days, and to see where everyone is now, and we enjoyed delicious food thanks to Stacie!!

Before I left Utah I chopped my hair off, and went a little darker, so far I am loving the change.

Also when we got back to Topeka we took the family to Kansas City for a night where we went to an indoor swimming park, we had a great time, and little Karlee experienced swimming for the first time, she loved it!!

Yesterday we went and got the girls pictures done, they turned out pretty cute! Here are a few that I really liked.

Where does the time go?

Wow, sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I have been trying to adjust to having to kids, and oh boy has it been an adjustment! I went out to Utah 3 weeks after I had Karlee, I needed a little extra help to get me through the tired/recovery period. We had a great time with family, and it was nice for everyone to be able to see Karlee while she was still really little.

Now we are back in Topeka and we are adjusting well. Karlee is such a good baby, which is such a blessing! She sleeps from 8:30/9:00 p.m to 6:00/7:00a.m. So I feel like I have enough energy during the day to function, I also have been able to start running and working out which makes me feel good. Karlee is growing so fast, she is starting to smile alot and baby talk, so fun! Brilee is a great big sister and loves her little sis. It will be fun to watch them grow up together. Brian is such a great daddy, he loves his little girls. He is doing well in school, and has started a part time job at a local law firm. Life is busy, but Life is good!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We are pleased to announce we have another beautiful baby girl. She arrived at 11:50a.m on August 17, 2010, weighing in at 7lbs. 7oz. and 20 and 3/4 inches. She has dark hair and just so cute!

I was induced on the 17th, I went to the hospital at 7a.m, so early especially when Brilee decided to pull an all nighter. At 7:20 the doctor broke my water, and then they started the petocin at 8:30 it wasn't to bad at first, because the nurse gradually increased the petocin every 20 minutes so it was easier to get used to the contractions. It was also nice because I was able to walk the halls which helped ease the pain of the contractions. At about 10:30 my contractions were getting pretty strong so I went and got checked and I was dilated to a 5, which coming into the hospital I was at a 2. Then at 11:30 I got checked again because I was feeling more pressure, and I was dilated to a 7. The nurse figured it would be really soon after, and within 15 minutes I new it was time, I felt like I had to push and sure enough I was at a 10. They had to yell for the doctor to get in there now! Within two-three minutes of pushing are sweet little girl was here. Brian and I were both pretty surprised that it was a girl.

We had a hard time naming her, and it wasn't till the last day that we were in the hospital that we decided on Karlee Marie Lindquist. She is such a good baby and so fun to have in our home, Brilee is getting used to being a big sister each day. My recovery is going much smoother than last time, thank goodness! We also have had my family out her for the past week, and they have been such a great help. I am going to miss them!

Back in Topeka

Brian went on a fishing trip on the Green River

with his Dad and brother-in-law Jason. They

We got to go to Brian's grandmothers 90th

Brilee got to ride with Brian on Pa Pa's tractor

in the little church parade my parents ward did.

We have been back now for a couple of weeks, we miss family, but it has been nice to be in our own home. We have gotten a ton of organizing done, and putting together the baby's room. I am getting more and more excited to see what we are having. I have been to the doctors a couple of times, but no progress yet. We are staying busy and having fun while Brian is still out of school. I have posted some of the pictures from our trip to Utah.
