18 Months!

My Baby Girl is 18 months old today!

We had to celebrate!


This morning, she had her favorite. Strawberries. The boys and I made her bunny cupcakes. She got her very own big, one. She just liked to stick her fingers in all of the frosting and lick it off.

18 Months and SO Much FUn!!

She is getting her own, funny little personality now. She loves to play with the boys, and tease them. She loves to giggle. And run around. She loves to get into everything, and make BiG Messes. She is starting to like her dollies more now, she is always carrying them around, and giving them big kisses. MWWAA! She loves to dance, anytime there is music on of anykind, she is dancing. Her favorite food right now is her baby cheetos, and any kind of chips, (if we will let her have them) She likes to beg her daddy for his soda. And he usually gives in. She loves her toes and fingernails painted. At night, she likes her daddy to give her footrubs. She will get the lotion and climb over on the bed to Jayson, hand him the lotion, and lay on her back with her feet up.(so cute!) She likes to help her mommy with everything she does, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc... Whenever one of her brothers is sad or hurt, she runs over to them, and says "ohh" and puts her arms around them and pats their back and gives them kisses.

Some new words she has learned:

No (she says it long and drawn out and shakes her head)

Thank you

Love you

Oh, Look at that

This

Gama

( I know their are more, I can't remember, but she says these the most.)

Her newest trick! She is always being silly, and trying to get us to laugh at her.





Another of her tricks, climbing in the shower




She is getting so much hair now, we can try new styles. It's so much fun. She doesn't always like to hold still and cooperate though.

Happy 1 1/2 Year BabY Girl!
Love You!

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!

And Their off!






Pinewood Derby Time!


Tregan and Jayson spent, MANY hours making this pinewood derby car. One whole Saturday, and like 5 hours another day. They even sanded and repainted it on the second day. (I guess it wasn't perfect enough?)

It won 1st place many times, and 2nd, a few times. We found out much to Jayson's dismay, that they don't really keep track of who wins, and no one gets officially awarded 1st place. I guess they have to be fair (What?) So everyone wins I guess. (whatever!) just kidding.
They had a great time though. It was fun to watch how excited the boys get. And Tregan got some good father/daddy bonding time.

Every TWO Weeks

Every two weeks, at least one of my kids has been sick. Seriously!! They finally get over what they had and start to be happy again. And a week and 1/2, (two) if we are lucky, and they are sick again, with something new. Jayson commented the other day how they have been way more sick this year in Utah, then they ever were, when we lived in Arizona.

STINKING UTAH!!!

So here we are on round 100....
It started with Dax, then Aty, then Me, and now Tregan. We are all miserable!

SO SICK OF THIS!
Can summer please arrive, so we can stop the madness?

CAT IN THE HAT



It was Dr Seuss week at the boys school last week. They were supposed to dress up as their favorite book character. We tried to think of an idea of what they could be. And had no ideas, or clothes to use. They both really wanted to be Cat in the Hat. So I got an idea to look up how to make a hat on the internet. After many hours, and the help of Jayson(to make the brim, since I cannot cut out a circle) we made these Awesome hats. Tregan came up with the idea of making the masks. He had made masks out of milk cartons in scouts a while back, so we copied the pattern, and they made these. They were both So Excited! They woke up an hour earlier then normal, and ran into our room at 8:05 to wake us up, so they wouldn't be late for school. We don't leave for school until 8:40! They were fully dressed, and had even gotten their own breakfast. This Never Happens!!! It was like Christmas morning to them. HAHA! They decided not to wear their masks to school though, because of the no mask rule, at halloween. I was bummed, because I thought they looked really cool, with the mask and hat. But oh well! They still looked cute in their hats.






AND HERE IS WHAT ATY, HAS BEEN UP TO ...
I made cookies the other morning, and they were laying on wax paper to cool. I went downstairs for one minute, and left Aty playing in the laundry room. I heard a noise, and went up to check on her. This is what I found.
She climbed up on the counter, knocked over her raspberry smoothie, (it was dripping on the floor) she grabbed a cookie or two, and was playing with the sink sprayer when I found her. What a Mess!!!

She brought out a bunch of her pj's, and begged Jayson to put them all on her. Then she pranced around the house.
So Cute!




(Aty with her ear protectors on)

We took the boys up the canyon to shoot guns today. We had to walk through a ton of snow. Poor Dax, was trying to walk in Jayson's footsteps, and almost falling the whole way. I was carrying Aty, and very glad, I had decided to wear my snowboots. I was about falling with her, as well. The boys had a blast shooting, and Aty had a blast walking all around, she got cold after a while and her gloves were soaked, so her and I, went and waited in the truck, and she ate snacks and danced to the radio, until the boys were done.

Whats going on with us...

Aty covered in chocolate, trying to get in the tub. Which by the way is her new obsession. She actually figured out how to climb in by herself the other day, and I found her in it, trying to eat a bar of soap.


Whenever I mention taking a bath to her, she immediately runs for the bathroom, and grabs all of her bath toys, throws them in the tub, and starts to try to take her clothes and diaper off.




When I take a shower in the morning, I have to fill her a bowl full of snacks and she sits on the her little stool, and eats. And she likes to throw her rubber ducks in with me as well. Sometimes she even gets in the tub and plays while I shower. She really likes to play in the tub, but when it comes time to wash her, She screams!

*I figured it was time for a new post, but nothing too Exciting has happened lately,
So I guess I will just update on what we have been up to...

Atley learns a new trick everyday. She also learns a new word every day...
She is Still as Mischevious as ever. But she is getting better about listening when we tell her no. Her new thing though is to say, "Uh Uh" in a really loud grouchy tone. When we tell her something. Last week she was running a fever, for about three days. I waited it out, because I So, did not want to take her to the doctor and pay for it again... So by day four, she woke up with a rash. Then I felt like the worst mom ever. So I take her to the doctor and she has Roseola. She was so miserable for over a week. I felt so bad for her. I didn't know how bad that stuff was..
During the time she was sick, she became addicted to a animal movie that she has. All day long, she would cry and whine, and pull on my legs to get me to turn it on for her. But then she would decide that she didn't like certain parts of it, so then she would bring me the remote, and I would have to try and figure out what she wanted me to do. Not fun! It is so hard to figure out what a 1 1/2 year old wants sometimes, and they she gets so frustrated. Now she is feeling better, so she is a little more patient with me. And doesn't want to watch her movie as much. Thank Heavens!!


*We took the boys bowling the other night, and they had a blast. Daxton did awesome. He was winning, until the last few turns, when Jayson beat him.

*The snow is starting to melt. YAY! The boys still go outside and play everyday. They get all bundled up in their snowgear, and walk all around in whats left of the snow.
* Daxton comes home from school everyday and just quietly plays with his batman toys, if you try to bother him, it's trouble!
* Jayson has been keeping really busy with work lately, so he is always up all night typing files. We miss him!
* Tregan got his bobcat merit badge. YAY! ( he earned it a few months ago, but his leaders are a little behind) He also got to go to Sky View and swim in their pool for his swimming thing for scouts. He was super excited to be able to swim again. He has missed that, not being in Az, where they swam almost every day.
* I just keep busy with the kids, chasing Aty, running the kids to and from school. I also started a spinning class this last month. Which I love! It is so nice to be able to just have that hour to do something for myself.
*Atley and I went to work with Jayson on Saturday to get out of the house, we left the boys with my mom. Aty and I got a little bored sitting in the car while daddy appraised houses. But she was good, and we even got to go for a little walk at one of the houses in Salt lake, because it was sunny and somewhat warm. She loved that. She was running up and down the sidewalk. She misses her walks. We miss being warm. We are missing Arizona right now. The boys however, had a splendid day playing their x box the entire day. Since they got so obsessed with it, we finally had to put down some rules. They only play it on Saturdays now, and they have to earn their time. Since we were going to be gone most of the day, Jayson decided that we should give them a little extra playing time, so they wouldn't be bored sitting around all day. so we called and gave them the password to add some extra time, and well... They ended up playing more then a couple of hours. Little Stinkers!!!
* And we are all anxious for school to end, and the warm weather to be back, and for us to be into our own place. YAY!!

Funny Story:
So the other night. I was sitting downstairs hanging out with Jayson while he worked, waiting for Aty to get tired. He had a can of cherry coke sitting on his desk, and Aty kept getting it and bringing it over to him. And saying "uh" He would tell her no and she would walk away. So after a while of doing this. He finally says "do you want a drink?" and she nods her head, so he grabs a water bottle by him and says "of water" and she screams out this little grouchy sound that only she can do, and puts both of her hands on her face, like she is so upset. We laughed so hard. So then he kept torturing her and doing it to her, and she was getting so upset. Finally he let her have a sip, and she was so happy. (by the way, we do not let her have coke normally) Well, Jayson probably slips her some when I am not looking.
Dancing with her uncle Brett. Whom she loves. She knows she can get him to do anything for her. Her favorite thing is to have him give her rides in the laundrybasket. Oh, and help him comb his hair.
( by the way, I know most of my pictures are always of Aty, but she is always getting into mischief, so I have to have my camera ready. Which by the way, my husband always has, because his is broken. So I REally want a new one. (thats my plug for my husband to feel bad and get me one.. Love you Honey!)
