I know I know

Where are the Polleis????

Well, I have to say we are all over the map (well at least in the Southern West part). So I ventured (to say the least) a car ride out to California to visit my family WITHOUT TAYLOR. He was on call that weekend and we just purchased the newest member of our Family (our new SUV). And I thought that I would give it a go and try to see what a 5 hour trip would be like with two kiddos in the back. Well lets just say 7 stops and 8 1/2 hours later--- I was in Irvine California. Ok, so I probably won't be doing that again for a LONG TIME without someone else. I was only there for a quick visit so I apologize to those I didn't get to see.
We had a fun time and pictures are to come.

Then almost immediately upon my return from California, Taylor had work off and we traveled up to Utah. Again, what should of been a 9 hour drive and a few stops really turned out to be a 4+stop and 11 hours to arrive. Not to mention one of those stops being because Zoe got carsick and THREW UP EVERYWHERE.... on me and all over the seat. It was a wonderful trip besides that and we got to see lots of family. Also a very quick stop, but worth the drive.

Pictures are to come for both trips and for family and friends who haven't seen the kiddos lately.

Updates:

Dane- CRAWLING AND STANDING EVERYWHERE. The kid is seriously the cutest thing alive (apart from Zoe of course) and I want to eat him all day long. He is so sweet and coming alive with his personality. He has this little raspy voice and laugh (no joke we think we need to get his vocal cords checked sometimes), but we absolutley love it. It's soo cute to hear him jibber jabber and find his independence. Last checked- he weighed- 17 lbs and he is almost 8 months old.

Zoe-Little Miss "Prin-ess" She is so fun and talking up a storm. Has recently reverted back to the passie from our last trip to Cali (end of Aug) and will not give it up. She was going to throw up in the car on the way back so we hurried and gave it to her... needless to say she is protective of them now and knows that she is on borrowed time with those things. As of Monday October 26th, we will be once again attempting to take them away. In replacement... a blanket, toy or any other suggestions of comfort would be helpful. She is loving to dance these days and run. Her favorite saying: "Mommy watch....." She's adorable, but mommy's reeeeaaaalllly ready to take that passie away.

More updates to come.

When Jolie needed to get rid of her pacifier she was also really into scissors. I gave her some and told her to cut off the tips of her pacifier and she did it! Then I told her to throw them away now because they were broken. She never looked back! Just an idea.
