Well Christmas this year was at the Hebdons. We had a BLAST! Skyler, Lisa, Michael, and Tawnee were all visiting this year so the house was pretty dang full. We had so much fun playing games and talking with everyone that we stayed up past midnight almost every single night. Two of the nights we stayed up so late that Thomas and I didn't even want to think about moving the kids home, so we ended up making a bed on the floor. Turns out the floor is pretty comfortable when your running on two hours of sleep haha. Akleigh and Auger both did really well with all the inconsistency. They both slept well and have been mostly cheerful. Auger got WAY too many toys lol, he loved every second of opening gifts. . . and Akleigh slept through most of it of course. There was no snow, but we did have a load of really amazing food, thanks Elaine :) Anyways, now everything is settling down and i finally remembered to take some pics of something, so here are the pictures from the last four months. . . in no particular order

"babiators" for christmas, mustache still from halloween

christmas presents

I just thought this was really cool looking. . Thomas walking to work in the fog, and yes poor thomas has to walk to work many a morning because we sold his truck and the jetta and now we just have a chevy traverse. . . not really a work truck but great for our family right now.

again with the mustache . . .

auger helped Erin and I make this tutu for a friend but then was pretty sad when we finished because he wanted to keep it

Auger LOVES his little sister

Okay so this was the Halloween costume . . . can you guess????

He was Albert Einstein, and I will admit i was pretty proud of it because when we went trunk or treating at least five people knew exactly who he was supposed to be!! He looked better when his mustache wasn't smudged off.

This is Akleigh's blessing day, thankfully she slept through the blessing

This is the tutu that aunt Erin made her

Bday cars from JoLyn and Rick

Thomas got all his harvesting done before Christmas this year so that was nice. Because of that, they were able to do some custom work for some neighbors. His semi broke down for a bit but he almost has it fixed now. Like i said before, we bought a new car and we love it.

Auger is talking in sentances now, knows all his colors, can count to ten, and loves anything that has to do with dad, grandpa, rick, or baby akleigh. still notpotty trained but he does sleep in a twin bed now. he is off the charts in weight and height so it looks like we got a linebacker!

Akleigh is on the other end of the scale weighing only 12 lbs right now she is in the 30%. but she is doing well, smiling a ton, sleeping pretty good and really loves her daddy and auger.

hey everyone that might be coming to Akleigh's blessing on Sunday, our church has been changed to 12 noon because of a special meeting being held. So if you show up at 11:30 you will have a bit of a wait before we start! See ya there

Also: Akleigh's blessing will be on September 25th at 11:30 AM for all those of you who may be interested. We will also have a dinner after church at the home of Terry and Elaine Hebdon.

Auger is a big brother!!!

We are happy to announce the arrival of Akleigh Elyn Hebdon! Born August 29, 2011 at 4:16 PM. 6 lbs 15 oz, 19 in long. Thomas and I arrived at the hospital at 3, they hooked me up to all the monitors and said i wouldn't last much longer so they were gettin the doc there as soon as possible, then everything went off without a hitch and we had a beautiful baby girl just over an hour later.

The best news though is that Auger is in love with her :) He has been nothing but wonderful to her. He already worries about her and wants to play with her all the time. I must admit i underestimated him, i was very worried that he would be a disaster when i got home but i have been pleasantly surprised ever since!

So here are a few pictures of the past few wonderful weeks.

ok, so i don't even have a real excuse for why its been almost six months since i posted anything. I have a few pathetic ones though that i can share haha . . . basketball season is what really got me off track, then our neighbor decided to make his internet private so we couldnt steal it anymore :(, and since then my only real excuse is that i am pregnant, tired, crabby, lazy, and everything else that goes along with that. So if those excuses satisfy you, great :)
Last week was my last week of zumba so this week has been pretty relaxing actually. Thomas has been working a ton, but with both Chase and Michael back he hasn't been completely overwhelmed . . . i hope. The weather has been consistently getting better so Auger and i work/play out in the yard whenever its not raining or horribly windy. We are getting to know the mail lady really well since Auger is always waiting there to get the mail when she shows up. The garden is coming along pretty well. I need a good full day of weeding before it will look really nice but at least i have some beautiful plants popping out of the ground. (peas, turnips, spinach, carrots, and every kind of leafy green you can think of) also my raspberried, strawberries, and blackberries are starting to smile. Auger was actually really helpful planting the peas because the seeds were so big he could grab them and put one in each hole that i made. however, the seeds for everything else are a different story and he gets really frustrated when i wont let him dig up where i just planted, hopefully my garden survives the wrath of a one year old this year!
I have my 20 week ultra sound scheduled for monday, hopefully they can tell us whether we are having a boy or a girl. The last doctors appointment went well, everything looked good with the baby, and i am finally getting some energy back.
So the best i can do for missing the last six months is post a few of my favorite pics. Auger is infinately more photogenic then thomas and i so thats about all you get haha. Auger update: turns 2 in september, really growing tall and thinning out so he looks more like a little kid then a baby, LOVES his daddy and his grandpa. . . and everyone else that lives at "gamma's house", too attached to his mommy to go to nursery, obsessed with choo-choo trains since Mandy so graciously sent home some Thomas the train movies, wants to be outside all day long, still drags his blankie around everywhere, still only has six teeth (wont let us stick our fingers in his mouth to find out though), Incredibly fun to be around 90% of the time, throwing a giant screaming tantrum the other 10%, loves peas and fruit snacks, and still the best sleeping kid in the world.


great christmas present

In utah with the cousins, dad, and uncle drew

He and Adam tolerated each other haha

Has to do everything daddy does

Best buds

I felt so bad when i turned around and he had passed out on the floor, even worse when i saw what he was laying on, and even worse that he still had his boots on

for about two weeks all he needed was this giant box to play in ALL DAY LONG

yes, you are seeing this right, Auger is definately eating an ENTIRE block of cheese

eating peas, with his blankie, watching thomas the train, with no shirt on. . . life is good

I just had to put this on because i am so pround of my incredibly smart little guy, he surprises me with new tricks every day. . .

Auger, show me your train . .

show me your eyes

show me your mouth

show me your hair

show me your nose

show me your ears . . . (and your tongue i guess)

show me your teeth

show me your belly button

show me your fingers

show me your toes

thanks for checking in! The end.
