Catch Up!

My baby is now 5 months. She is growing way too fast. Kiana and Maile get along so well. My bishop was telling about his grandsons that don't, and the older one sits on the younger, and I reminded myself how lucky I am (at least until they are older). Maile is sitting up pretty well, and rolling all over. She is not a fan of food, but I keep trying, I think, so far, she has liked sweet potatos the best. She loves to laugh, and even Kiana is playing too rough and I have asked her to stop, Maile is laughing so hard, which eggs Kiana on. They have so much fun together. They love baths together and Kiana loves to hold "baby Maile". Maile loves to try to stand all the time and is usually soooo happy, except at 12, 3, and 6 in the morning. Well, she is happy, I am not. I'm trying to decide if I can let her cry it out. I ignored her for a few minutes last night and she went back to sleep until 6:30, then I only had to get up once with her. Am I a bad mom? I am so greatful to be a mom! I sure have wonderful girls.
This is such a fun season, but there is much to do. Not only do we have Christmas, but many birthdays and anniversarys too. Steven and I have been married 5 years now and together 9 1/2. I can't believe it. We have been through so much... and I love him more today then ever before, even though I don't always show it. He is a great husband and father and he does so much for us. My mom and step-dad have been married 20 and we are so grateful for Keith. He has been a great dad and even a better grandpa. My kids adore him, and he is just what we needed in our family. He has never treated us like step-kids, and we love him so much.
So, I have been getting Christmas cards out, I hope I have your address, and that I don't forget anyone, well, I am bound to forget someone. I have so many wonderful people in my life, but only got 60 cards!!

Here is a catch up on pictures of the last few weeks, I haven't blogged forever.

My parents have some new kitties that Kiana likes to hold, by their necks. She carries them around everywhere and thinks they belong in the house with her.

This is Kiana with her favorite cousin at my mom's birthday party. She has to follow him around and do everything that he is doing. She is always asking about him and loves him to death!

Maile and Guiness are having a staring contest. It was really cute, but I don't know who won.

We had the ward Christmas party the other day. Kiana was so excited to see Santa, until is was time, then she froze. Luckily, he had candy canes, but then that was all that was accomplished. She didn't ask for toys or anything else. Maile was just cute. It is hard to do Christmas parties without Steve. I have to hold Maile and Kiana, the social butterfly, won't just stay by me, she has to run around everywhere.

Sorry we haven't blooged forever, just crazy life. Busy with Holidays, and babysitting and housework. My little sister was in a car accident last week, someone ran a red light and hit her. She's doing good, but her car is being funny and needs fixin, so we went a hung out with her the other day. She took me to Twilight again, and then out to eat. Kiana got to go to school with Dad for a little bit. It was fun just to hang out.

We are just happy for the holidays and gearing up for Christmas. Also, there is finally snow outside. We will have to go out and play for a few minutes. It never quite seems like Christmas until there is snow outside. We hope everyone else is doing good. Thanks for all your love and friendship!!
