Niev had her first monster encounter last night. She woke up at 4:30 and came into our room whining that there was a monster in her room. She went on to explain that he was going to get her so she swung her arms and the monster couldn't bite her. He kept trying to bite her, but she just kept swinging at him
Ian gave her a ratchet-type tool and told her it was a "Monster Blaster". He then preceded to throw all the monsters out of the house (great dad, huh!). She refused to go back in her room and cried for a while after Ian forced her to go back to bed (we've been having problems with her trying to sleep with us after about 5 a.m.). I just hope her "Monster Blaster" works tonight!

Practice makes perfect
Rowan is amazing...she got her first tooth today. It is her top left. Weird, huh? Aren't they supposed to get their bottom teeth first. She is a unique little girl, what can I say!
She has been pulling herself up like crazy and now she is free-standing. I even caught her today practicing her free-standing. She was being really quiet on the other side of our counter so I went to investigate. She was practicing and so concentrated that she didn't pay any attention to me. When she finally did notice me, she just laughed and shrunk to the floor. Love that girl. She is adorable. More later? Can't promise since you all know how bad I suck at blogging. Sorry, but I have things to do...

A free bike every week? They must be crazy busy...
or crazy rich (which means crazy busy making tons of money).
Aren't these fun bikes!

While the cats away, the mice shall play
I think I may be in for some double-duo trouble:
I was in the garden, quickly picking corn (that I grew with my own two hands...and some water, seeds and good soil!). When I came inside (not being gone five minutes), I found Rowan COVERED in Desitin and Niev trying desperately to rub it in. Rowan was just trying to eat it.
Can't help but love sisters!
Speaking of sisters, I got a chance to see my sister this weekend without the kids. My parents were heading to Utah just for the weekend and Ian offered to watch the girls to allow me to go. What a fabulous husband! Melissa has a son that is Niev's age, but it was Father-and-Sons campout, so Melissa was child-free as well. We shopped, went out for dessert and laughed until tears were streaming. I will be forever grateful for an unselfish, self-sacrificing husband. He truly is fantastic. No one has a fighting chance trying to convince me that they have a better husband. No way, no how!
PS--Niev must have really missed me because she got into my make-up, shampoo and the fridge within the span of three hours. I was trying to clean my house. I gave up on that and just played with my Desitin smelling girls!

Ha, ha, I beat you this time!
Kelley, I posted before you did. I really can't believe it! Miracles do happen...I guess I can't take full credit seeing as these are YOUR pictures with YOUR camera that YOU copied and put on a CD for us. (I told you it is all because of the "where do I put the pictures issue" that I am not blogging!)
This last weekend, Ian and I spent in Portland (a very quick and spontaneous trip at the suggestion of Ian--shocking, I know). Because it was for Ian's birthday, I told him that we could spend the entire weekend with his sister, Kelley, (my sister, Julie, also lives in Portland). He was kind enough to allow me to go to breakfast each morning with Julie so that I could spend some good quality time with her. I loved every minute of conversation with Julie that I got. We went to Farmer's Market to grab some goodies and then a great breakfast the next day. With Kelley, Brian and Hudson in tow, we went to the zoo. We road the train in and Niev thought that was pretty special. Her Gramma Buh comes on the train from Portland to visit us and she asked where Gramma Buh was when we got on the train. We love Portland and visiting our sisters and their wonderful families.
Rowan looks so much like a boy here, a very cute boy but still a boy!
Rowan was enraptured by the zoo
Niev's favorite--the penguins. This is the only "decent" picture she would take because she wouldn't let her eyes off the penguins for a second.
Niev kept asking to go back to the tractor-car
Niev really thought this eagle's nest was very cool.
Hudson and Niev getting their pet on at the petting area
Sisters, sisters--there were never such adoring sisters (just for you, Kelley!)
Rowan and Hudson totally loved each other

A Giveaway...again!
Some very cute stylish bags, in case anyone was wondering!
Sew Cute Shop Amy Butler Birdie Sling GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!
I was walking Niev and her friend, Olivia, to the park today. Our new dog, Bonzer, was in tow and I was wanting to stop to make sure I had my book in the back of the stroller. I said, "Heel, Bonzer." Olivia then turned in the stroller and said, "My daddy says, 'Heel' to my dog Luna, too". Niev quickly responds, "My daddy says, 'YEE-HAW!'" Laughter ensued.
