Details....
Alright, well pretty much everyone knows that Jake and I bought a minivan about a month ago. We got a great deal. Less than a month later I'm driving somewhere over on the East Bench on my way to pick Jake up from a Bachelors party. I drive straight through a GREEN LIGHT and I get hit.
This car turned left across the intersection into me and the kids ON A FREAKIN GREEN LIGHT! Someone started honking and I looked over and saw they were going to T-Bone us, hitting directly at me and Eva so I hit the gas and swerved as far out as possible and the girl never hit the breaks, didn't try to turn wide, nothing! So she caught the back end of our sliding door took out the rear drivers tire, fender and ripped our bumper off. The seat belt was jarred so hard that Eva's car seat came loose and flipped her. The other car though had their entire front end smashed in, the windshield was shattered across the intersection, and the drivers door wouldn't open.
Still, I have a small fracture in the small of my back, but the kids managed to walk away ok. So I have to be a little careful, it's not to bad on the restrictions and I pretty much can do what I want to.
KIDS:
Well Morgan is about 2 1/2 now and is on the move. His mouth moves a mile a minute in Spanish and English. SPANGLISH! The other day he was playing on the piano where we have a Christus and Morgan turns to us and says "Jesús has flip flops, Jesús wear patos" " Oh, really Morgan?" " Yeah, he has zapatshoes" It was stinkin' funny. He also like to tell you how funny he is,so after anything he does he will say to "mommy, I funny."
Evita, is getting bigger and bigger and today she is 9 months old. Can you believe it's been that long since Christmas? Even more importantly that it's that close to Christmas!
Since my last post Eva has started to have more teeth come in so she almost has 4 teeth across the top and still just the 2 on the bottom. She of course still has her infectious smile, and is still just content to just be. The two kids get along great and they love riding in the stroller together. It's really cute to see them like that. Eva likes to tackle Morgan and vice versa. They are still hilarious in the car together. And their new thing is to have Morgan carry Eva around and she pulls her legs up into this sumo position, both of them laughing hysterically.
As for the move, I'm still stressed and it's been a little over a month, so I don't even want to talk about it . hahaha
I also have the world's busiest calling, as does Jake. But we love our busy lives and we love being on the first floor. Hopefully I will remember to blog something funny later.

Just a Quickee.....
We have moved somewhat successfully, we have bought and wrecked a car (not our fault though), broken my back, and as for the kids. Well they are getting big, so big. Eva is getting her teeth which is really funny. She only has one upper tooth but both of her bottoms. She looks so "white clutter"
The kids and I are going to go on a trip back to Arizona for about a month, which we are all so excited about. Poor Jake will be all by himself. Oh well, I know I'm going to have fun.
Well when there is more time I will give more details....

It's All Over....
No more setting her to play in one place on the living floor. No more peace, which if you haven't gotten to this stage yet with your second kid, this is also when the "stop touching me" begins.
That's right, Morgan hates being followed by his baby sister, if he hasn't "invited" her along he pitches a total fit.The upside is, Morgan is totally enamered with her. It's almost as if they haven't spent any time together. They love to crawl together, and my favorite part is when Eva lays her head on Morgan's chest, meanwhile Morgan will puff up his stomach really fast; which makes burst uncontrollably with a string of giggles, and the most adorable high pitched squeal.
Last, but not least we are moving one whole building over in one week. We are extremely excited, we will be moving from the third floor to the first floor and we are adding a bedroom.
Woo Hoo!

Choo Choo Eh-Va...
Well first of all I finally got the video of Eva up on the last post, so don't for get to look at it.
So we are all guilty of making silly faces and dorky little noises and phrases. I guess you don't realize just how bad you are about doing those sort of things til you see another child mimicking you.
Morgan is so funny, he know's exactly when to say choo choo and when I would normally tell Eva "Yum-yummies." Not to long ago I got up from feeding Eva to do something in the kitchen for Morgan. Little did I know it was a tactic of his so he could feed Eva. All of a sudden I hear CHOO CHOO...
It's so wonderful to be able to leave Eva in the care of her big brother. He loves taking a turn to feed her and anything else she needs. I wish I could tape them in the car while I am driving. Morgan likes to lean over the car seat and do mimicked baby talk wi/.th her. Can I just say he really gets her going with the giggles in the back seat.
We'll try to catch that one, i'll admit that will be quite the task.
I am so thankful to have two wonderful and beautiful children. I am indeed grateful that they have chosen to grace our lives with their beautiful spirits. It's such a marvelous thing to see them grow, laugh, and play together. I know a lot of work comes with two and even more in the future, but I am grateful to be following the Lord's Plan. To have a body, the gospel, our wonderful children, and an amazing husband. Jake worked hard to recieve his education, and because of that hard work and sacrifice he has a wonderfully amazing employer,and I am able to be home with our kids, to catch moments like these each and everyday.
A blessing I hope to never take forgranted

Eva...
I don't know if I ever said anything about Eva, and how she likes to sleep. Well, it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. She likes to have you, litterally strap her arms down. However, when you put her to sleep that way, you can lay her in her crib awake and she goes to sleep on her own.
On occasion you can find her in our room quietly talking to herself....
These are pictures we have taken of the kids just in the last week or so. We were in Arizona for the Snowflake pioneer days. Which they celebrate the weekend before the actual holiday. It was so fun to actually be home for a while even if it was only for one night. Hopefully we won't have to make our next trip so fast.

Dark Knight...
Ok so this morning Jake and I ventured to the IMAX Theater to watch Dark Knight.
uhhhhhhhhhhhh..........eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What a waste of finite resources! At least that's what they say in Arizona. Anyway, I am probably the only person in the entire world who hates this movie. It was ok, and I don't even care about the darkness. The darkness didn't bother me at all. But what the crap with Batman. The voice he makes, uhhh annoying and the lines were so choppy and quite frankly it really just wasn't that great.
However, I would like to thank Hollywood for making the film with the least amount of disgustingness as possible. All in all with the amount of violence there was there was no blood, which I have to say is very nice and quite refreshing.
I also would disagree with people saying that if your not old enough to drive to it you shouldn't see it. I thoroughly think that it is what it is. PG-13. If your kid is not 13 then they shouldn't watch it.
Honestly, after paying for a sitter and driving to the theater it was really a disappointment. I left feeling like I wasted a babysitter on that.
Christian Bale did great for what it was, but I really hope the next isn't pushing the 3 hour mark. Oh and by the way, Oh Holy stupidness with Two Face. And that is all I am even going to allow myself to comment on that one.
By the way I wrote this yesterday! I didn't see Dark Night on a Sunday. hahahha
