Here are the directions for any one who wants to play along.
1. As a comment on my blog leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.
It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one abut you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Random thoughts
Sometimes there are just so many thoughts running through yuor head you need to write them down. That is how I feel right now. Kira has a fever and has a rash on her body. I think she is teething, so that is the reason for the fever, and I thought the rash was a heat rash, but today it doubled so I called the doc and she has an appointment tomorrow. I will keep you updated.
Arik got to go on a fire. Those of you that know him know that he loves that and this is his first fire since Brookelyn was born. I am so excited for him. I now that he is okay and will take care of himself.
Today Brookelyn wanted to go swimming so we set up the pool and went outside. Kira did not want in, a big sign that she is really not feeling good. So after Brookelyn had her share of swimming we went inside. Kira had fallen asleep in my arms. I love when they do that. Both of my girls are not very cuddly. they could never sleep if we were holding them. It was great at home but awful at church when they are tired. Anyways, I put Kira down at 5. Brookelyn was adamit that she was not tired but wanted to watch a movie. So I got her pillow and blanket and she laied on the couch to watch her movie. Not even ten minutes into it she was asleep. So now it is almost ten oclock and they are both still asleep. I have checked and they are both still breathing. During their nap I read a 200 page book. Yep, a whole book from start to finish.
On Friday my little baby girl will be one. She really isn't a baby anymore. She does everything her big sister does. She hates baby food and is now off formula. She talks a little and uses her hands to say a lot. Not sign language but she talks well with her hands. I look at her and I can see what she will look like in a few years. Maybe that is a mom thing. I love her so very much.
When Brookelyn was born she gave us a scare at birth, not breathing. (CPR for 15 minutes). Kira gave us a scare a couple weeks later and then a couple months after that. Kira has a low oxygen intake, it is a constant. When she was 2 weeks old in the hospital the machanie beeped all night long. A couple months later she was wheezing and we took her in. She had to be put on oxygen for a few days.
I often look at my girls and think that I don't know how I lived without them. For the past three years I have had a little girl look to me for everything to survive. It is a very scary thought and yet the greatest, most exhilarating thing that has ever happened to me. I love being a mom and I am so very grateful that I have been intrusted with these two girls. Hopefully some day I can have that little boy but if that does not happen then, it is okay because i will take girls.
I know I am rambling. I just love my girls so much. Life is great and I hope that the future is just as good as the first quater of my life has been.

Our New house
This past week has been a stressed out and hecktic one. Arik and I closed on our new house on July 14th, it is also the same day that my nephew turned 3, my mom had surgery, and my cousin's little boy had open heart surgery. Needless to say, a lot happened that day that was worrisome. Anyways, we closed. The following two days, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and I cleaned the upstairs of the house. It took us 20 hours to clean. The previous owners left it completely trashed and i have no idea how they lived like that.
We also painted Brookelyn and Kira's rooms. It was Mom J's birthday presents to them. On Saturday we had a birthday party for Lukas, Brookelyn, and Kira. With all thier birthdays within a month and with gas prices the way they are we did a joint one at the house.
This weekend while Brandee and Spencer were down to help(which was greatly appreciated) they got sick. All four Bagshaws were throwing up and not feeling well at all. I hope you are feeling better Brandee.
This is a pic of the kids that came to the party. The Crookston Clan, thanks for coming guys, Brookelyn, Sam (Brookelyn's cousin), and Brayden (Thanks Hemming clan for coming also). Lukas and kira and MIA and Tanner (Brayden's brother) didn't want to be in the picture.
So here are the pics of our house that people kept telling me to post. I had to wait until I cleaned it first. The first two pics are of our living room/dining room. We actually got to use all of our pit pieces (our couch). where the guitar is, is where the piano is going once we get enough men to help us move it in. 
This is our kitchen. I have a full stove with the glass top and a dishwasher, which all the way around the corner, but I am not complaining. It is a lot quicker to do dishes now.
This is our room. Of course it isn't a good picture but we fit a queen size bed, two dressers (not in the closet), a bookcase, a standing mirror and two end tables into the room with still lots of floor space to move around. For those of you from Aggie Village or that ever saw our place in Logan you can understand why i am so excited about all the stuff i fit in there.
Sorry about the angle of this pic. I forgot to move it around. This is the upstairs bathroom. We will be updating it with time but for right now if works for us.
This is Brookelyn's room. In this room there is a desk and a book case for all her books. on the walls higher up are Princess stickers everywhere. Brookelyn made the best transition to the new house. We were preparing her for weeks, we would drive past it and point it out. She loves it to death. As you can see she is really big into Disney Princesses right now.
This is Kira's room. Her theme was butterflies and flowers. She has the changing table and a dresser. she had a hard time the first few nights but now sleeps great.
This is bdroom number 4 in the basement. this is the place all our guests can stay. So come visit. we have a room for you.
Sorry about the angle of this pic also. This is a bathroom downstairs. it is unfinished (duh!). It will be nice to at least have the toliet down here because when Brookelyn is playing we have to make a mad dash up the stairs to make it to the toliet in time.
This is a den. Someday we will add double french doors and an egress window and it will be Arik's office. for now it is storage. Arik and I decided when we first got married that we wanted the computer in a obvious place with a door that had windows so we could always see what was going on. More for the kids sake then anything but it also can keep us in check as well.
Here is the toy room. Or family room. someday Arik wants to make it a home theatre with a projector and everything but we will see. For now it is a place the girls can play with all thier toys.
So that is our house. It needs a lot of TLC but we are willing to do it. We are excited to be in our own place. Sometimes I forget we don't have anyone living below or above us. I can let the girls scream without worrying about bothering anyone but me.

Fun in the Sun
So I know I haven't posted for a while. On July 1st my oldest, Brookelyn turned 3. Can you believe it? I can't, time has flown by. She is so great, smart, a talker and she loves to boss her sister around. For her birthday her aunt Marti bought her a swimming pool. So today we put on our swimming suits and went out and played. Brookelyn didn't want to wait for the water to warm up from the sun so the water was freezing cold. But they loved it. 
She is beautiful, luckily she got her dad's goregous blue eyes. 
Brookelyn wanted to pose for a pic and this is what she did. Has her daddy humor. 
I got my feet wet with the girls. 
Brookelyn wanted to jump up and down high so I helped. 
They were so brave playing in the very cold water. 
Brookelyn was a fish. They sat down and both splashed big. As soon as they did it, they looked at me guiltily bcause everytime they do that in the bath tub I tell them no. when they saw that it was okay tons of water ended up out of the pool. 
Kira really likes dogs. She lets them walk up to her and lick her face. She thought he was so interesting. 
They are so cute and they had so much fun. 
I love my girlies so very much. I have always really wanted a boy but I would not change these girls for anything. They are so full of life and so wonderful. I just love them so much.
