The Big 28

Happy Birthday Sweetie! can you believe you are 28? So old!( I can only say that for another 7 weeks) It is so funny how time flies, 28 already. Sometimes I still think that I'm 25 but after doing the math I have the sad realization, that age has come and gone. I'm so glad that we could share this day with you hope you have a fantastic day. Don't forget that your girls love you!

Say Cheese!!!

Last week I had the girls pictures taken, I meant to have them done last month for Emma's three month pictures but time has flown bye and took me a little long to get it done. I'm pleased with how they turned out, I was nervous, Emma was being a little pill and just cried every time she was put down. So I was surprised that we got any good ones of her. Eliza on the other hand was such a big girl, she cheesed it up the whole time. I sure love my little ones!


















A little summer fun!

I just love the simple things that summer weather allows you to do such as, swimming, BBQ's, playing at the park, riding bikes, going on walks, eating Popsicles, oh how the list could go on and on. This summer has been a little laid back, we didn't get rage passes this year since I didn't want to attempt watching a newborn and a 3 year old by myself at a water park. Although rage is usually our life in the summer even with its absent we still have managed to get some good swimming in. We have used our pool at our complex, it is no rage but at least it is something. Eliza Just loves the water( she is her mothers child), she could stay in the pool all day if I let her. Emma also loves the water her new thing is dipping her hand in the water and then bringing it to her mouth so she can drink it, she just loves sucking on her hands I guess the little added wetness makes it that much better. Aunt Amy was up for a week while she was on summer break, it was so nice to spend some time with her, and of course we had to hit the pool many times.On the third Saturday of each month the Harden clan tries to get together an do something, this month we went fishing, let me rephrase that, the boys went fishing while the girls sat around and visited! and that is why I love fishing. We went up to the Uintas to a lake named teapot, it was a little cooler then I thought it would be, so I have learned even in July when it has been 95 degrees in the valley you still may need jackets, pants, and maybe a beanie in the mountains. Although the weather didn't cooperate it still was fun being there and soaking in some of mother natures beauties. When we got finished fishing, we headed down to the hatchery for a little more fish time, it was interesting to see how many fish they had and hear about how they raise them and then plant them. One we finished there since we were so close to the camp ground my dad is leasing, we headed over there for a little BBQ. What a fun day!

The past two months

So I thought I would be able to blog a little more since I would be staying home, and as you can see that just hasn't happened. Life got a little busy once number two came a long, so this post is going to be the last couple of months in a nut shell.

Emma is getting so big, I didn't realize how big she was until the arrival of Baby Khari and Avery. At her last appointment which was at the first part of June she weighed 10 1/2 pounds, she was 75% in her height, 36% in weight and 35% in head circumference. So that just told me she is tall, skinny and has a little head, we'll have to see what the 4 month appointment will bring. Emma is sleeping through the night which has been a blessing for us, we have transitioned her to the crib this week, which made Eliza happy now baby sister is in her room. Emma has started to smile and laugh it is so cute, it's so fun to see them develop.
We Blessed Emma on June 6

Eliza, where do I begin with her? She has been so good with Emma, she just loves her so much, and I'm so grateful for that. She always want to give her hugs and kisses, although she does have to be reminded many times to be a little softer and she responds " But I love my sister", and there is not doubt about that. Eliza took some swimming lessons this summer and loved it she keeps asking when she can take some more. She did well, I was a little nervous since the class I signed her up for was for 4-5 year old. I was selfish and didn't want to get in the water for the mom and tots so I figure she would be fine, and she was. She learned to go under water, back and front floats, and how to be safe around the pool. She has also been learning to ride a big bike and of course it had to be a princes bike. She has done really well, we bought the bigger bike so she didn't out grow it so fast, so I was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to ride it but she has done great. She also got her first real hair cut, I've cut it before but it wasn't very much off, so her Great Aunt Aline trimmed a inch off because it really needed it. Eliza is a good girl and it has been so great to stay home and raise these beautiful girls!


As for Jeff and I not much is new, Jeff works and I spend the money! We did go camping a couple of weekends ago with my parents which was really fun, I don't get to many one on one with my parents so it was great to spend a couple of days with them. Also my brother was in town this past week and boy it was sure fun to see them, little Reed isn't so little and has the cutest personality. We went to Ragging Waters with everyone it was just like old times! It made me miss all the family that lives out of state and wished that all of you would move back!
