a Family Visit!

I had the best day ever today. My grandma and my Aunt came to see me and the girls. We both live in the same state, and only like an hour 1/2 or 2 away from each other, and never get to see each other, how funny is that. but today they made a trip to come see us. and that made my day, i loved it i had so much fun. They brought presents for the girls. and Lacey got grandma to point out which one was hers ( she tricked grandma) so Lacey saw it brought it to the living room floor and began to open the present. then they said you have to wait until Christmas and of course Lacey

looks at grandma and says please grandma and she said okay. haha so cute of course with my permission to, to open the present. she loved it she got a little tikes guitar that you just press a few buttons and it plays music. and Zoe got a soft baby doll and she gave the baby hugs and kisses. Zoe gave the baby lots of loves. it was so sweet. Lacey and Zoe eventually warmed up to everyone it was very sweet and they had a lot of fun. my aunt took pictures with her phone. maybe if i can get them from her some way I'll post them on here. but until then, i had so much fun, its nice to have family visit. I love them so much. i love my family. I am thankful for all the blessings that my family is blessed with, i am so grateful!

Been a long time

well here are two pictures.

It has been a very long time since i have had the time to sit down and blog. Alot has been going on. We moved into our own apartment in July. we love it. Zoe turned 1 years old. she is walking and saying dada momma, shaking her head yes and no, gives kisses and hugs, and she is so sweet. Lacey is getting so big, i have taught her how to change Zoe's diaper and she does a really good job, she loves to help out with Zoe any way that she can. I am thankful for my girls and the joy they bring in my life. I love them so much and they are so much fun. I currently got laid off from my job, that was really hard considering i loved where i worked but everything happens for a reason and i am thankful for the opportunity. I am back home with my girls and i love it. I know i will be blessed with another job, i just have to have faith.

So Christmas is coming up and i love this time of year. Lacey has been making lists for Santa Clause already and its so cute to see her get excited. we went to the mall the other day and Santa Clause was there and she got so shy, and she said momma Santa is here to see if i am bad or good and I'm being good momma. it was so cute. she told me other day while writing her list that she wants new toys because her other toys are OLD ha ha it made me giggle.

i found my Christmas ornaments and started to go through the box yesterday and Lacey was like oh my goodness that's so cute to every ornament. we are going to get our Christmas tree soon, and decorate and i am so excited. its so exciting that Lacey believes this year, i am like a little kid this time of year. I just remember how exciting it was for me and my sisters and brother when we were little. i want to make it just as special for my girls.

we had a good thanksgiving, we went to the Ciarrocchi's this year and as always their food was AMAZING. we had alot of fun, and i am so thankful that the Ciarrocchi's had our family in their home. they are such kind people and a loving family, we are thankful they are our friends.

My sister Caroline had her baby November 2ND. he weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches long. his name is Isaac Rush. he is gorgeous and i am a Aunt for the first time and it was so exciting. Caroline is a good momma and i am so proud of her. Caroline and Corey are awesome parents.

Its starting to get cold and i love it, Hopefully it will snow this year. i have so many pictures that i have to get together but i will upload as soon as i get a chance.

i am so thankful for my little family. i have 2 beautiful baby girls i love them so much. i have a loving amazing eternal companion that i love so much with all my heart. he is truly the love of my life. we have been through so much but that only makes you stronger and i am grateful for the challenges that come our way because i know we are strong enough to over come them. i am thankful for the friends that i have from church. i love my ward they are loving people and i feel so blessed to be in a ward with so much love. they truly take the time to care and serve one another and for that i am thankful. i am thankful for my parents for everything they do. and for my mom and dad Fox, they are truly wonderful people and they do so much for my family and i am so thankful. i love them so much.

I am very thankful!

Oh yeah i went to Black Friday, that was my first time and it was alot of fun, i think i will do it next year for sure!

I love my family forever!

Zoe

So Zoe ate baby rice cereal tonight for the first time. she was very hesitant at first but once she started to like it, she ate all of it! it was a lot of fun. Lacey also helped me feed Zoe cereal. Lacey had so much fun. Zoe has rolled over now, from laying on her back to rolling over to her belly. it was so awesome, i am so proud of her.

So.....

I know its been forever since i have blogged, so much has been going on.
Rachel came to see us in April, the girls were so excited to see her, we were too of course. It was so good to see her, she is doing so good. Then Molly and Tyler came too when Rachel came home, and of course the girls were so excited to see momotyler, ( Lacey calls Molly and Tyler momotyler one word) its cute! Before family came there was Easter and Lacey was so excited for the Easter bunny to come and see her. Her face was priceless when she saw her Easter basket sitting on the kitchen table, she told everyone that " the Easter bunny came to see me and gave me candy" all day long it was so cute! Zoe started sitting up about a month ago, and shes been doing so good at it, she has also said DADA, and she is now perfecting it. she is talking a lot of baby talk more and more each day. She turned 6 months May 3rd. I cant believe it, shes growing so fast. Lacey will be 3 June 2nd. I cant believe that she will be turning 3, shes growing up so fast, shes so independent, and she is such an awesome big sister to Zoe. She loves her sister so much! Every morning she will come up to Zoe and say good morning Zoe and Zoe will smile back at Lacey, its so sweet! We recently went to Molly and Tyler's place in Florida. My parents flew in, it was so good to see them. I got to see my sister Caroline, she lives in Florida too, she recently got married, and she is having a baby boy, I am so excited to be an AUNT! She is so gorgeous pregnant, and she is doing so awesome! We went to the beach with Molly and Tyler to Clear water beach and it was so much fun. The sand was white and the water was awesome very refreshing. We had so much fun, and it was a very good vacation.
My brother got his mission call, he is going to be serving in Pocatello, Idaho. He is very excited and he leaves June 24Th. i cant believe so soon, i am so proud of him, he will be an awesome missionary!
I have pictures of all of the events that has happened but i will post them tomorrow!
Happy Mothers Day all you Mothers! Have an awesome and relaxing day!

we had fun yesterday! Lacey got a Happy Meal from Oma and it had the blue blob character on the happy meal box, so i popped out the eye ball and stuck it to the girls foreheads so they were my Blue Blob's. they both had fun with it for about 10 minutes then it was on to something else. the Blue Blob is from Monsters VS. Aliens the movie that is out in theaters right now. eventually we will take Lacey to go see it ! we think that she would like it. well yesterday all day Lacey watched BOLT the movie over and over again, i found my self repeating the lines and memorizing the songs haha, i had the songs stuck in my head all day long! haha but it kept her happy and entertained! and right now as i am writing this blog what is Lacey watching BOLT! she loves the movie so much. i will hear her from time to time saying " Bolt help" haha and hear her singing the songs too! i love it!

My girls are growing so fast. i cant believe June will be here in no time and Lacey will turn 3 years old. Zoe will be 5 months April 3rd. i cant believe that, they grow so fast! i enjoy every moment i have with my baby girls!

Its another beautiful sunny day, with a nice cool breeze its nice enough for a walk, which i just might take when Lacey's movie is over!

Ice cream!

I could go for some ice cream right now! mmmmm it looks so good! my kind of ice cream is Chocolate chip cookie dough with a waffle cone! Doesn't that sound so SOOOO GOOD! just once in a while i like to enjoy some ice cream. if i eat it to much i wont want it. so i want some ice cream. it has been a while!

Beautiful weather!

we have had some awesome weather for the past 2 days. it was really hot yesterday but we were able to open all the windows and doors to get some of that nice cool breeze through the house. today is gorgeous, lacey is in shorts and short sleeve shirt. its hot but it also has this nice cool breeze too! i love it. lacey was outside most of the day, just running around. i love weather like this when its not SO hot that i am miserable and sweating. this kind of weather can stay like this for the summer time! :)

Being a mother!

You know i was thinking as i was cradling my 4 month old and rocking her to sleep, i realized that i love being a mother. Its the best Gift any woman can ever receive. I love my girls so much! They are such a blessing in my life. i cherish every moment . I am Thankful everyday, that i am able to be a mother. I love my family! I am so blessed we are an Eternal Family!

We sang some songs and played some games and then said a closing prayer and Lacey said the prayer, the spirit was truly there and it was so fun.

Zoe Laughing / A vacation too!

Oh Zoe laughed this morning. it wasn't any little laugh it was a big belly laugh over and over again. i was bouncing her on my knee and singing giddy up giddy up giddy up up up! and she started laughing so loud. and then i tickled her and she laughed and laughed over and over again. of course when i wanted to get it on camera we didn't have it near by. but that's alright, i will have to share her laugh another time. i will remember this day forever. i still remember when Lacey first laughed it was so beautiful!
Zoe is starting to talk more shes so happy, she smiles all the time. i am so blessed to have 2 beautiful girls. i love my family so much.


We went on a little vacation to see my parents in PA and to MD. My dad and brother haven't met Zoe yet and they loved her. my mom and dad loved having us there. we had fun, they had a lot of snow. that was very exciting to Lacey and it was very cold, but it warmed up a little. they have a pretty house its little but they don't need big house. Johnstown is a very small town but very pretty. Lacey had so much fun.
We went to MD to see GG and Grandpa Lacey had so much fun. she played with them all day long. Maryland had beautiful weather. we just relaxed and spent time with everyone. Before we left i we stopped by my old office and said hi to the girls. They loved on Zoe and she smiled for all of them. of course Zoe had to spit up on Christine, silly girl. it was so good to see everyone, and Dr. Bowman too. Lacey was being shy but warmed pretty fast.
It was such a good visit a much needed one too! the babies were so good in the car. i cant wait to take another vacation.

Zoe

Oh yeah Zoe laughed yesterday for me twice. it was the sweetest belly laugh ever! She is so happy!

Family Time

We went out to eat tonight, with Lacey and Zoe. It was nice to spend time together. I love my little family so much. While we were waiting for our food to come, Lacey said Momma its mommy daddy time. it was so sweet. She was really happy because it more about her and she was getting attention from us. she needed it. she has been such a good big sister to Zoe and helping me so much with her. So for dessert Lacey got a cup of dirt with gummy worms, she was a little hesitant at first but once we showed her that it wasn't really dirt she ate it. It was a lot of fun. Zoe was good, she slept the whole time!
Lacey is so patient with Zoe. she will spend time with her, she will talk to her and Zoe will coo, gurgle and talk right back to Lacey. I love to see the sisterly love that they have. Its so sweet.
I love my family so much! William and i are so blessed to have each other and our beautiful GIRLS!
