The Sad, The Cute, and The Silly!

We haven't been up to much lately. We seem to keep ourselves plenty busy with young women's, work, chasing kids, helping people move in and out, and just plain life itself.
The Sad:
On Monday Sarah (Jon's sister) moved to Michigan for her husband to start Law school. I am so bummed. It has been so nice having a sister only 7 miles away with kids the same age as my kids who understands me so well. We have had a lot of fun living close by and now she is gone. Sarah has always been there for me. Like when I tried to cut my fingers off with the hedge trimmers, she came right over and took me to the doctor. She has watched Dallin more times that I can count. She is truly one of my best friends. It is really sad to see her go, but I know it is for a good purpose. I got to watch her boys for her on Monday while they packed the car up and they are so sweet. Dallin and Ava played almost everyday for like a week. They are best buds! I know it will be an adjustment for them too. We are sure going to miss them.

Dallin and Ava- They really did EVERYTHING together. Ava was bound determined to potty train Dallin for us, but he is just too stubborn. Thanks anyway Ava.
The Cute:

Dallin is so handsome. I can't believe that he is going to be 3 in less than 2 months.
Elise is getting more and more beautiful each day. She has such a great personality. She is crawling everywhere these days and she has learned how to wave. It is so cute! Her laugh and smile are some of my favorite things these days. Grandma Seeley- Do you recognize the dress??? This is the one that you helped me make for her before I knew I was having a girl.
It fits her PERFECTLY!


Now for the SILLY:

Dallin says these are his "glasses", I am starting to wonder what he sees through them...

Jon has been itching to put Elise's hair into ponytails since she has such random lengths everywhere. Here you have it, our very own Cabbage patch kid:

Your kids are so cute! I love the picture of Elise with all the ponytails and clips. I still have no idea what to really do with baby girl hair. Cute post. :)

Such adorable pictures of adorable kids. I'm sad for you and Sarah that you won't have each other to hang out with and lean on, it's so important to have a good friend like that when you have little ones.

Jennifer, your kids are so cute. I think that Zachary and Elise are very close in age. Zachary was born 2/12 -- when was Elise born?

I love the nipple glasses. I'm sorry that you sister-in-law is moving away. It is nice to have family close. But your parents are moving to MO aren't they? Maybe that will make up for losing Sarah.

Good post! We miss you guy SO much! Ava and I miss having friends to hang out with. We just got the internet hooked up today so now we can keep in better contact. Talk to you soon! By the way, I love the pictures of Dallin w/ the nipples! He cracks me up!
