Jackie loves the track!

in our attempts to get back in running before we do a 5k the end of this month we have decided to run over at the field house when i get off work to try and help us get back in the groove! Jackie has always loved going to the field house at BYU and playing in the middle section or with the basketballs ect.  Last week we headed over there for a run and little Jackie was SO excited she could not contain her self she HAD to run on the track with us! lol so she did a lap or 2.  It was pretty darn cute she now keeps talking about her exersizes and doing exersies! We went back last night for FHE and she did 3 laps! thats over .5 miles! lol she wanted to do more too haha.  She also loves to come do push ups and sit ups with us.  She is my silly girl who just wants to be a grown up and do what ever mommy and daddy do. 

She still talks about kissing boys in the temple
sometimes she will even tell me what boy she wants to kiss lol

she wants to be a hockey player and have daddy watch her play...she wont let me forget she needs some Jackie ice skates


She is always helping me clean she has her "own" broom and vacuum


she named her baby doll Kari...we are still trying to figure out where she got that name from, but its a bit more  creative then her last doll named dolly ;) but she likes to take care of her like I take care of Abby


She talks about getting big and going to work oh how fast they grow up :) 

I love this little girl to death! she is so cute and always cracking us up with the new things she is coming up with! She is sure a smart little one!  I love coming home from work and getting a huge hug and having her tell me about her day! I try to take time every night to snuggle with her in bed and have her tell me all about her day :) she is a talker and will go on it makes my day!

updated Did ya know?

Today on the phone someone asked me if I work in India the then proceeded to tell me i needed to learn English better and I had a terrible accent.....hmmmm last i checked I sounds pretty dang white lol

Back to the office

Well folks i am back to the good ol office got my workspace (oh BTW they moved and i have a TON more space its nice but still gray must decorate!!:)) Its nice to be back to a job were people care and appreciate me! Oh and a place where they will let me go and pump! 
My girls seem to be doing great staying home with their daddy! Abigail is doing great using her sippy cup she is still not a fan of the bottle but is drinking great from the sippy! and the great news is i got my pump to work so hopefully for now it will continue it took a great scrub down and praying but its working great and everything is going great there I LOVE that i can still give my baby the best milk even though I am not with her!
Jackie loves her daddy and time with him and well she is used to being with him during the day so she is just happy! :)
Derek is surviving :)
Me well i am loving my job and missing my girls! But i think its good for derek to get a chance to take care of them and to get that alone time with them.  I promise pics of our place (for you Danielle:)) lol i never have it all clean so i decided i will just do it one room at a time haha now to get it done :) hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
