Once Upon a Time...

That's right its a throw back. Since our computer crashed last year with all of our pictures on it, I had come to grips that pictures of our married life before children were gone.... Until today when I put in my little San Disk from my camera and proceeded to update my photos so that I could update our blog. What do you think happened? A magical miracle perhaps? Well maybe....

What really happened was that I got pictures that for some reason were not erased from our disk over the years of use. We have pictures from one day in 2007 and one day of our first visit to the temple with Alestair in 2008. I am not sure why they are stuck on the disk since you can only pull them up if you stick the disk in the computer. Anyway I will now share:

From 4-23-2007: A trip to the California beach that had little sand flies everywhere and it was hard to eat our picnic so instead I took pictures of Robert.

From 11-5-2008: Our first trip to the temple as a little family. We pretty much just took pics of the temple and the statues in front of the visitor's center that was under construction and probably doesn't look anything like this out front anymore.

They turned out pretty good for not having any of our adorably cute faces in them.

Snazzy Alestair

Hu-At

Alestiar loves "hu-At"s. He found one baseball cap and wears it like so:

Like I said I like to watch Robert and Alestiar

They napped

Finally!

Alestair fell asleep in the big boy bed today! I found him like this after about an hour into his nap.

Peanut Butler

Need I say more...please look back at the post titled "Alestair and sneaky peanut butter"

The Double Stroller

As we are having Emmett, we decided it would be best to have a double stroller. Yes a sit and stand would work but Alestair is really into running away and ignoring. It scares me. Also the Skogen family was sooo kind to give us their sit and stand that they no longer need. So as I said we wanted a double stroller. Now after having used a single stroller for a year I know what kinds of upgrades I wanted with the next stoller weather it was a single or double. I wanted to be able to go through rocks and sand and hiking trails without having the baby jostled like a bean bag and without the stroller getting stuck. So bigger wheels. I also wanted to have storage. So this brought me to the jogging stroller. Yes they are more expensive but I found if you look on Ebay you get a rather great deal and spending 200 to 300 dollars on a double stroller is pretty much what you will spend if it is just a regular one or a jogging one. So I got a Kelty Swivel Dualie....it is magical! I love it! I think I will love it more when we actually have two babies in it.

The seats recline seperately. there are two pockets for cups ( on the back so there is no throwing of them) there is two pockets for toys/moms stuff on the back of each seat and a wonderfully large basket below the seats. It has two 16 in wheels in back and one 12in swivel wheel in front. The sun cover is big enough to actually be useful and the seats are uber padded for extreme baby comfort. I LOVE IT
