What Makes My Day

2011-06-14T13:42:00.000-07:00

I am so blessed to be able to stay at home and watch these cute little babies.

Braylyn, Kanyon, and Lydia really make my day. I thought it would be really hard but they are such good kids and so cute.

This is Lydia. Julie and Jordan's baby. I watch her 3 days a week and she lives with us now.

We love her so much.

Braylyn is such a big help and so lovey. She is so sweet. She tells us all the time that she loves us.

She shows me unconditional love. I wish I was more like her. She teaches me everyday.

My little Crew Gurr is so chunky. My family wants to start calling him tank. He is a super smiley baby. I love it.

There's a First Time for everything.

2011-06-14T13:29:00.000-07:00

This is his very first bite. He's not sure what to think.

Kanyon got his first taste of food yummy! He seemed to like it alot

We are having so much fun with a little guy in our house. He is so happy and cute. He has been trying since he was born to suck his thumb and he finally got it.

Kanyons Special Day

2011-04-11T15:50:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday we blessed Kanyon. We had our family in town from Colorado. The night before the blessing Braylyn started coming down with something. Well we just thought it was a little bug until she woke up every hour and was throwing up. We didn't know quite what to do we would have rescheduled but our family came from out of town so we didn't want to do that. So my sweet mom stayed home with Bray and we ran off to church and blessed our little guy. Dusty gave him an awesome blessing and he did great. Wish Braylyn could have been there. What a Bummer!

This is Vespa before the haircut

So I wanted to show everyone what I do and what my poor kitty goes through getting a haircut. I have taken her to places and they say she bites or they do a crappy job. She has never bitten me when I have done it so now I do it and I think I do a better job that just tells you how bad they have done. She hates getting it done, she cry's the whole time I am doing it and I am sure she thinks I am drowning her when I give her a bath. It is crazy how much hair come off her though. I will stick to cutting people hair animals are way wiggly.

This is the finished product. Pretty Vespa

Haha After her bath

This is all the hair that came off her. This picture doesn't do it justice.

I am getting big and I am feeling it too. Sleeping is getting more uncomfortable, not so much room for food. But I love being pregnant. I feel so good being pregnant and I can't wait for a cute new baby.So Tiffany here you go. I am big now you can tell I am pregnant. This picture is for you! Me and Julie decided to draw on our bellies for you thought it would make you laugh.

7 mths prego and feeling great.

Julie and I decided to do art work on our bellies.
Julie has the outie belly button haha.

Thankful

2010-11-21T09:43:00.000-08:00

We are so thankful for our little Braylyn. She is so much fun! She is all girl. I took her to go and get her pictures taken, she was all into it. She posed just like the photographer told her too and it was sooo fun. She is such a sweet girl that lets us know all the time she loves us. She loves to pretend and sing and is just so happy. I really don't know where she gets it. She has changed our lives in so many ways. She helps me grow everyday. She shows me what fun is and brings everyone she is around closer together. We love her so much.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

2010-10-07T08:20:00.000-07:00

We are so excited to have a little boy. Dusty was in shock he thought for sure it was a little girl because this pregnacy has been so much like how I was with Braylyn. I am so lucky I don't get sick at all I hardly feel like I am pregnant. The only way I can tell is my belly is growing. I will have to post a picture of my belly it has started to get bigger. I love having a baby in me it is the coolest feeling ever. He seems a lot stronger than Braylyn did. He moves a lot! Dusty has already felt him move and he didn't feel Braylyn till later on in the pregnancy. I feel great. And I love it.

This is a profile picture.

His little foot. Soooo cute!

He is a boy!

Trip to Boise

2010-10-07T07:33:00.000-07:00

Braylyn playing with her cousins at the park.

I love to visit my sister Tiffany in Boise, ID. Thank goodness I get to see her alot. My sister is such a good example to me of a perfect mother. I love her so much! We had so much fun while we were there I forgot to take pictures. I did get a few. We went on a bike ride to drop off Carter and Rett at school it was so much fun. Tiff said it was around 6 miles. Braylyn did really good riding with Macie. Anyways we got to spend alot of time together and enjoy one anothers company. I love Tiff's family. They are all so fun.

Crazy Cole. He is so much fun!

Beautiful Macie!

2010-09-08T08:53:00.000-07:00

This was the best day ever. Julie and Jordan got married last weekend up at Storm Mountain in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was so pretty and fun to put together. I am so happy for my sister and Jordan. They have known each other since Middle School and are perfect for one another. I love Jordan I know he will take such good care of Julie. Braylyn got to be a flower girl. She was shy when she got to all the people and started crying it was cute though. All the girls were so excited to be in matching dresses and get all dolled up. We love you Julie and Jordan!

Don't they look so happy!

The ceremony was so beautiful up in the mountains.

I got to take Bray to Lagoon with Julie and Carly's family. It was really fun. At first Braylyn was excited to go on all the rides but as she found out what they did she didn't want to go on alot of them because I couldn't go with her. Her favorite was the cars she rode that one a couple times. She liked the octupus because I rode with her. She did get a little upset seeing other kids cry and wondering what was going to happen.

Riding in the cute little car with Kambria

A little nervous to be on the Merry go round with Julie

Happy on the choo choo train

Make-up Lessons

2010-07-07T17:03:00.000-07:00

Its never a good thing when your child is quiet for a period of time. It always seems to be she has gotten into something she wasn't suppose to. It is funny though. We found her in my make-up I didn't get mad because I left it out and wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. The first thing she said was uhhhh.....oooooo. We couldn't help but laugh. We showed her, herself in the mirror she just laughed. She knows what she is doing though. Aunt Julie gives her make-up lessons.

July 4th Fun

2010-07-07T16:22:00.000-07:00

We have so much fun. We went to the Provo parade on the 4th of July it was alot of fun. Braylyn was really into it. She was watching everyone and waving it was really cute. She stayed on her daddy's shoulders for a good majority of the time. After the parade we went out to eat with my parents and went to a car show. My dad was all about that. Me and my mom went and saw Toy Story 3 with Braylyn she fell asleep but saw the end of it.

Just relaxing

Baby Lane

She didnt know what to think of the fire.

This is what she was doing most of the time playing in the dirt.

So we finally got to go to Colorado and Moab and have a family vacation. I love Moab it is such a pretty place that is relaxing. Braylyn found things to do without having to entertain her. She is really good about that anyways. She was bathing in the dirt and I had to remind her that we don't eat the dirt. We had a fun time visiting family. Braylyn loved playing with her cousins lolly(Molli) and aden (Caden). We are going camping with my family at the end of the month and I am really looking forward to it because she was so happy and enjoyed it sooooo much.

So last yr we took Braylyn into the Dr. when she gets sick she holds onto a cough and her cough is so bad it effects her breathing. So they gave us a neubulizer to see if it helps and it does alot. Asthma seems to run in our family. She likes doing the treatment because she turns into a fish or as she says I'm a Bishy.

Good job!!!

I Cant believe how big my little baby is getting in May she turns 2. She is talking so much and so smart she counts to 10 with you and she love the abc song. She loves me so much and sometimes has a hard time leaving my side. But she is really good at giving hugs and kisses. I want a baby so bad, Carly is having her baby soon so I will just have to pretend he is mind. It is taking a little longer this time but it will happen one day, I hope.

2010-01-12T18:59:00.000-08:00

So Jan. 14 is our big 5 yrs. Wow it has gone fast. It feels like we just got married. This was such a great day. We met and knew right away that we couldn't go without each other. Tiffany set us up Birtley met Dusty on his mission in Durango, Colorado. Our first date was to the Pie downtown Salt Lakewith Tiffany and Birtley. After that it was 2 wks before we saw each other again because Dusty went out of town. When he got back he asked me out again. After that we couldn't get enough of each other. We went 4 wheeling with my family and as we all know Dusty is really into 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, dirt biking. I went on his 3 wheeler with him and he was giving my parents a hard time saying he wont hurt me. Well sure enough I got thrown off the dirt bike and 30 stiches. But because of that it brought us together more I saw how Dusty would take care of me and do anything for me. The day we got married was the best day ever and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. I can't imagine life without him. I have so much fun with him and he makes me a better, positive person. I love him so much.

New Years party

2010-01-06T11:02:00.000-08:00

This yr we got together with Birtleys side of the family too. It was awesome kids running around, eating yummy food, dodge ball, bounce house. What more could you ask for it was alot of fun.

Braylyn and Kambria are 3mths apart and sometimes me and Carly feel like they are twins that is when they gang up on us.

Kambria is crazy into everything, she does things Braylyn doesn't do. She got my mascara and painted herself and took the lid off of a cup and dumped milk all over the ground. She is fun though cause she keeps me on my toes.

She is full of spunk

Braylyn has her 2 dolls and Kambria has her binkie and blanket

They both love to torture the kitty. They were pulling the cats tail and then laughing with each other.

Movie Night

2009-09-02T20:54:00.000-07:00

We just have huge sacs they are so comfortable. My parents come over and just fall asleep they can never stay awake.

We have such a awesome theatre room. When Dusty finished the basement he made the big room downstairs a theatre room and we love it. We have friends over all the time and watch movies. Dusty has buddies come over once in awhile and does halo night. There are so many people that come they have to hook up TVs and everyones favorite place to be is downstairs. Anyways we tried to get Bray to watch a movie with us. We put on a couple disney movies she watched them for like a min. and then lost interest. Oh well we just wait till she goes to sleep and then we get to watch what we want. We have fun.

Dusty was gone for a week we missed him so much. It is hard having just Braylyn by myself I can't imagine being a single parent. He went to Colorado with his family to work. We have such great families that really help us in a time of need. And I have such a hard working hubby. He doesn't just do anything he is always doing hard labor and he gives his all. Anyways he brought home flowers because he missed me so much. I love him so much.

Braylyn LOVES Elmo

Happy 4th

2009-07-08T08:02:00.000-07:00

So we took my family to Silverton, Colorado for the 4th of July it was really fun. My family stayed in town and me and Dusty stayed at the cabin with his family. We went four wheeling which was really fun. We went up in the mountains higher than 13,000 ft. it was so fun we saw a lot of mining caves. After the parade they have the firefighters from silverton and durango fight with there hoses it is so neat that they do that everyone gets soaked. They have all there gear on and blast each other. So on the trip at the fireworks Carly started throwing up then me and then Braylyn. It was a nightmare. Carly and Braylyn only threw up the one time. But mine was a 24 hr bug. Nasty. I hate being sick. And then we got home and I thought my throat hurt from being sick I went into the dr. and I have strep throat. It kills its no fun. And Dusty has it too we are so weak but we are surviving.

Something New

2009-06-28T14:38:00.000-07:00

Braylyn started standing all by herself. She is so excited when she does she usually falls down from clapping. She took her first steps the other day at our friends house. It was so exciting. She is going to be all over before we know it. She keeps trying. Such a fun age

Taylorsville Days

2009-06-28T10:30:00.000-07:00

At the end of the day we got to go to fireworks they are the best fireworks in utah I think. Braylyn loved watching them and did really good. I thought she would cry, she fell asleep during the last part of them. She and Kambria love each other everytime they see each other they get so excited and smile and kick around and are sooo happy. I love it. I hope it is always that way.

Fun in the Sun

2009-06-03T07:51:00.000-07:00

Tiffany's family is in town so we have gotten to go to the park alot. Braylyn loves her cousins she thinks they are so funny. We were at the park and Rett wanted to push Bray around in the stroller and next thing I know they are going up and down a big hill. Rett wanted to go four wheeling. Bray didn't mind even though I thought it was scary. We went to the splash pad and Bray was so excited crawling around she went under one of the palm trees when water wasn't spraying and then it turned on and she crawled so fast out of there and was soaked. It was funny.

2009-05-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

Me, Dusty, Julie, Heather, and J.J. did the race for the cure it was awesome. We couldn't believe how many people were there. I don't know how people run I thought a 5k was hard.

We got to go to the zoo last week with old friends. It was so much fun! Braylyn loves animals. She was really excited! She fell asleep shortly after we got there but what she saw of it she loved it. It was really good to get out into the nice weather. So have you ever seen a giraffe try to sit down. We got to see it, it looks really painful. I have a pic of it in my slide show. And it took him forever. I had a good time catching up with my friend from Florida Tiffany and her sis Aubry. It had been forever since I had seen them. Carly and Kambria went with us. We have fun with them. Me and Carly have decided that Kambria and Braylyn are already playing with each other. Whenever they are around each other they share toys and make noises at each other it so cute. I love having my sisters babies the same age as Braylyn!
