I remembered to look for this outfit Julianne is wearing in the storage closet. It's a little short, but it works. Morgan wore it once at Scott and Jenny's Wedding.

I heard Julianne say catch it and wondered why she was saying that. When I went to see what she was doing I saw her playing catch with her doll.

This year I didn't get to follow my regular tradition of going to one of my parent's house for thanksgiving. None of them were available, so I had thanksgiving with my in laws. Julianne slept through the dinner though and we couldn't have the dinner at Jared's grandma's house, so we had it at his parents house.

It's hard to take a picture of a 2 year old, so when I went to pose her and she stayed, i was thrilled. Here she is posing for me.

This year for Halloween, my devil child, Morgan was a devil, and my angel child, Julianne was an angel. We stayed home this year again instead of going to Jared's parent's house. The girls had so much fun playing with the smoke of the dried ice we bought.

Tonight Morgan and I put up some scary spider webs inside our house. We have a huge spider that we put in the web. See if you can find it.

Here are some different pictures of Morgan and Julianne. I'm posting some of these because they are pretty funny. The not so funny ones are of them at the pumpkin patch. We sure got a lot of pumpkins. 18 to be exact.

This past week, My brother graduated from BYU with an MBA. For all of you who could'nt be there, here is a picture of me and the graaduate.

Morgan started 2nd grade today. We barely found out who her teacher was this morning. She was so excited to start today that she was up at 6:30 am. Crazy girl. She finally has her own room in our huge house so that means she has to sleep in her own bed from now on. HEre are some pictures in her new room with her new backpack.

Well, we finally had the Lloyd family reunion in Idaho near Twin Falls. It was the first of many to come. Some of them will be probably in Arizona where some of the Lloyds live. It was a trip full of mosquitos, fun, swimming, food and mingling. Julianne wouldn't hold still long enough for me to socialize, but at least I tried. Here are some pictures from the party in Banbury Hot Springs, Idaho.

Today is Julianne's 2nd Birthday. She was born at 7:15 pm at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. Julianne has grown into a sweet child. Even under all her temper tantrums and whining, she can be the sweetest girl. I can't wait to spend many more years as her mom.

Julianne will be two in a couple of days, and it seems she understands and follow directions better now. I told her to give her daddy a kiss, so she grabbed his head and planted one right on the lips.

CHerry Hill is a water park in Kaysville , Utah . I guess the new tradition in the Newbold family is to celebrate some July birthdays there. Here are a few pictures from our very long and hot outing at Cherry Hill. Jared was brave enough to bring his camera snd video camera into the water.

This past weekend my family got to see the Thunderbirds at an air show in layton utah. The show was exhilirating even though we've seen them a couple of times already.

One day when I was putting the dishes away from teh diswasher, Julianne grabbed some of the silverware and put it into the kitchen drawer. Now she does it all the time and I put it away for her in the right spot.

If you thought I loved to clean so much, think again. Sometimes my house looks like this, but I didn't make the mess. You can blame that on Morgan.

Thank you to all the wonderful moms in my family who inspire and motivate me. You're the best. Today for mother's day, Jared bought me breakfast from I Hop and brought it home, then we went on a bike ride after church. We also took some really cute pictures of our family. Enjoy!

Jared had to go to New Orleans for a week and will be back tomorrow night. While he was gone Morgan had an ear infection, then Julianne got an ear infection as well as a urinary tract infection. Things always go wrong when Jared is gone. He's staying an extra day so he can do some sightseeing. The last time I talked to him today he said he was going on a bayou to see some alligators. Morgan and I made a welcome home sign for him because we missed him so much.

I don't know how she learned to race, but Julianne will get up against the entertainment center and we'll say ready, set, go and she'll take off. She'll race with you or she'll race on her own. Here she is getting ready to race and then she's off.

Recently Julianne has been wanting to feed herself with a spoon or fork. She of course will not let me feed her anymore. Here she is attempting to do it herself.

It is so hard to tame our yard. Mike weed wacked alot of grass that was growing into our flower beds and when he was done it looked terrible, so i spent an entire evening digging out all the grass. Then today I spent an hour mowing our whole yard, but it looks good now and the tulips make the yard look even better. My next job are all the weeds in the flower beds. I decided I was sick of all the dandelions in our grass that came from our neighbors yard, so I did a little service for them and pulled out all their dandelions.

Morgan and Julianne had an Easter egg hunt at Jared's parent's house. Julianne wasn't much into it because she passed by all the eggs that were lying in plain view on the grass. and went straight for the basketball. We also took a family picture, but I couldn't get Julianne to look at the camera.

Micheal left his window open in the basement and a mouse got in. It's probably been in the house for a couple of days, but I didn't see it until Sunday night. When I first saw it, I jumped up on the couch because I didn't know what it was at first, it was running so fast. It ran under our family room entertainment center. Jared tried to get it out with a stick and let it run ito a box, but when i flipped the box up to shut it, the mouse flung out and ran away. I had left the garage door open to let it out just in case it ran away, but we're not sure it got out.

Today we celebrated St. Patrick's Day. It was wierd to see a sea of green at Morgan's school, and along with everyone else, my girls and I never got pinched because we were wearing green too. Hope you enjoy our greeness.

It never fails. If i'm not watching Julianne for just one minute , she seems to get into some kind of trouble. Well, today it was the plastic bags I never seem to recycle. She also dumped out her cereal all over the floor.

This is what happens when you aren't watching your 19 month old. Julianne came into the room where I was and was covered in white powder. I followed the white powder trail she had left with her feet and it took me of course to the kitchen pantry. The whole box of cornstarch was dumped on the floor. Here are the pictures to prove it.

Things are starting to look a little more normal around the Newbold house. Jared is done working 15 hour days at odd hours and is back from his business trip to palm springs. Morgan no longer has lice. She's had it twice in the last two weeks. And Julianne is feeling better after a few days of high fevers. She wouldn't eat anything solid for a few days , if you can believe that, but now she has her appetite back. Here she is on top of a file box eating her apple.
