Some People.....

Okay so I know I already posted once today but something just happened that I just have to vent about. Avah and I went to Safeway to do some shopping and while we were there this woman walks up to me and tells me how cute my baby is. I say thank you of course. Then she says, "how old is she?" So I tell her almost 14 months and this was her response, "oh my goodness she is HUGE! Do you still have her on formula?" (Keep in mind that this was a total stranger who I have never met in my life!) So thinking she was being a little nosy I went ahead and answered her question, "No she's on whole milk" I tell her. Then she continues to tell me that I needed to put her on skim milk and that child obesity is at an all time high and that if I don't help her now it will be late! So you can imagine how mad I was getting as she was saying this! I could feel my anger rise inside of me so before I did or said anything I would regret I just walked out of the store. I seriously cannot believe this woman had the nerve to say that to me! I mean GEEZ! I know Avah is a little chubby but good grief she's not obese! I mean look how cute she is
Does she look obese to you?? Personally I think she is the cutest baby but maybe that's just cuz she's mine?? Anyway, that lady made me sooooo mad. I told Shane that it's a good thing we're moving so I don't run into her again because I just know I couldn't hold my tongue next time. Anyway, sorry for the rant i just needed to get that off my chest! Some people just have no tact at all!

We're Moving

So after months of looking for a house in Snowflake, we finally found one that we love. I got the keys and signed all the paperwork yesterday and we are moving in next week. I do like it in Holbrook and I am going to miss all the people here. A lot of people trash Holbrooks name but it really is such a peaceful, happy, friendly town. The people here are so awesome. We are so thankful for all of them that have been offering to help us pack and help with the girls. We will miss them all. I wish we didn't have to move but with the gas prices sky rocketing we kind of have no choice. Right now Shane is driving 45 miles to work and 45 miles back. Plus there is only one pediatrician here in town and I don't like her so I take my kids to a wonderful one in Showlow so that is 45 miles away also so being in Snowflake will make things much easier.
We still haven't put our house here in holbrook up for sale, but I am planning on doing that next week also. I really hope it sales fast because we are going to be having 2 house payments and that will not be fun. Our neighbor put her house up for sale 2 weeks ago and she already has it sold so hopefully that will be the case with us. I had forgotten how stressful moving is. We have been here for 3 years so it's been a while since we've had to move. I hate packing, I hate driving back and forth, I hate asking people to watch my girls, I am just not a fan of moving. But in the long run I think it's the right thing for our family at the moment. We really love our new house. It's much bigger than the one we are in now and the yard is gorgeous! Our neighbors on both sides of us have horses and that is the girls favorite thing about it. Yesterday when we went there as we were walking up the steps to the porch Moriah turned around and said, "Horsies you better not poop in our new house!" HAHA! Anyway sorry for rambling on and on, I guess I just have a lot on my mind. One more thing though. After Wednesday we will not have Internet. I'm not sure when it's getting hooked up in our new house but as soon as it is I will post pictures of our new home. Wish us luck, hopefully this will be the last move we make for a VERY, VERY, VERY long time!:)

Avah's first steps....

We never thought this day would come! She is our latest walker. Mylee was 11 months when she walked and Moriah was 9 months, Avah is 13 1/2 months. I know all kids are different but I have to admit we were starting to get a little concerned. But today when Shane got home from work Avah was standing at her leap pad table while I was making dinner and Shane walked in the door and she got so excited, turned around and just started walking to him. It was so cute. All of us started clapping and getting excited so then she thought it was really cool and kept doing it. My camera was dead so I had to charge it and then I made Shane do it again with her. Right at the end she fell on her face and got a big bump on her fore head, poor baby. It didn't stop her though. After a little comfort she was back doing it again. We sure do love this little girl. Oh and please excuse my messy house and Riah with her dress tucked into her panties. :) Enjoy!
