HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

2011-11-04T18:57:00.000-06:00

This Halloween was pretty fun with Danica and Peyton. Danica was a princess(of course) and Peyton was a kitty because "A princess needs a kitty" (Danica). Peyton loved her costume, she was very warm and comfortable. We started in our neighborhood and then went around to all of our families and finished with friends. Danica and Peyton shared a bag and ended up with 1/2 a bag from school and 3/4 bag on Halloween(which i am hoping someone will come and take it).
Hope you all had a fun Halloween.

Danica & School

2011-10-31T14:37:00.000-06:00

Danica has been very busy with school and has been learning alot of new things... She comes home everyday and tells us all the new things she has learned... While we were eating lunch the other day she started counting by tens all the way up to sixty, and then said the Pledge of Aliegence...

Two weeks ago she had "Farm Day". Last week she had Trunk-or-Treat and in a couple of weeks she will reptile day...Here are a few pictures of what she has been doing in school..

Massive Update!!!

2011-08-22T16:47:00.000-06:00

Well it has been almost 7 months since I have last posted. I have no idea where to even begin so ill just do each kid separate.

Peyton:
Little Peyton or "Peyton Pooh Bear" as Danica calls her, is still my little baby. She is so tiny and is nothing what Danica was. Peyton has such a fun personality. Always chatting away and kicking her little legs as fast as they can go.. She is SO tall and doesn't have any rolls on her body (except her knees). She is my smile child, does nothing but smile and for sure is a mommies girl. I can't go anywhere without her having to see where I am at. She loves to watch her sister do everything. If she is sad and Danica walks in the room, she turns into a total different kid, smiles ear to ear and she loves to talk/sing. Its never quiet in our house. She is only in 3-6 month clothing (waist wise) and is in 9 month clothes in length; 85% in height and 25% in weight.. She is for sure going to be tall like her daddy. Peyton has been working on getting her teeth but nothing yet. Such a eater!!! This kid will eat anything and everything and thinks she is pretty tricky cause she can hold her bottle and pulls it out, looks at it and then puts it back in her mouth. She is now up to a bow of cereal, a fruit and a veggie. Where she stores it I have no idea.

Danica:
Oh where to begin with Danica.! She is a sassy one that's for sure and I'm pretty sure is going to give us a run for our money. She is truthful, honest, loving, friendly and smart. I have never had a kid tell me after i have told them "watch and see", "No! You watch and see"!!! She sure loves to back talk. This kid could remember anything she sees or hears, memory like no other. She is my singer and little dancer. She busts a move any and everywhere. Doesn't matter if we are in walmart, dentist, Dr, she will stop what she is doing and dances her little life away... If she sees a little kid, she is right up there with them trying to get them to play with her. She would be friends with anyone.. She is for sure her dads kid.. She knows exactly what time he "should" be home, where he is at or who he has talked to.. Books, puzzles and dress up are her life. We have to read at least 3 books a night and she has a closet full of puzzles. Danica changes her clothes 20 times a day, tries to sneak my makeup, and mothers everyone and thing she sees.. She would go camping and fishing everyday if she could. I have never been asked more in one day if someone could go camping than she does. She starts school tomorrow for 3 days a week and also has gymnastics on one of the days. I'm a little worried, I'm sure she will be fine. She is not the one that I'm worried about. I'm more worried about the others :)

*sorry no pics yet, computer wouldn't load them***

2011-08-19T17:29:00.001-06:00

so my blog is totally messed up....as you can see, hopefully i can figure out how to fix it soon and if you know how, please help me :)

Peyton's 2 Month Check Up

2011-05-10T12:21:00.000-06:00

On Thursday Peyton turned 2 months. Time has gone by so fast and she is getting so big. She is such a good baby, and is learning to do so much. Peyton is now smiling and is trying to coo. She loves her big sister, and I can already tell these two are going to be a handful when they are older.

Peyton now weighs 10 pounds and 10 ounces and is 23 inches tall. She is growing like a little weed...:)

2011-02-10T10:07:00.004-07:00

Here is a preview of Peyton's and Danica's pictures we just had done... Peyton did great, she was very good at letting us turn and prop her up with stuff.. Danica she was a little wild, she really didn't want to sit still, but what 2yr old does... I am getting the rest of the pictures today and I will post them tonight or tomorrow..

PEYTON EMMA

2011-02-01T16:26:00.002-07:00

Baby Peyton Emma is here. She was born on January 27, 2011 @ 6:27 p.m.; weighing 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20in long... Danica is very excited that she is here and is a very good helper...

Pictures coming soon..!!!

Baby Update

2011-01-26T10:00:00.002-07:00

Looks like baby #2 will be here tomorrow or Friday, depending on when Dr. Cain decides to start me. Im sure it will go by fast, we are already at a 6 or 7, so we will hopefully have pictures up Sat or Sun. We still haven't decided on a name, but we will keep everyone posted...

See everyone soon!!!

Much Needed Update!!!

2010-12-08T13:14:00.015-07:00

It has been forever since I have last updated... A few things have changed, but not too much... The baby is now due on the 9th of Feb, today we are officially 31 weeks, and still have not figured out a name for her..., so any ideas that anyone has, please let us know.:) We have also past Halloween and Thanksgiving... I swear time goes by faster and faster everyday...

Danica gets more and more wild everyday...She is a handful and I think she may just give us a run for our money... She is excited about the baby and calls her Pink and Two, but isn't too sure about sharing any of her toys... One thing is for sure, I know Danica is going to be a BIG help with her brother/sister( that's what she tells everyone she is having)

We did go see Santa last night and she told him that she wants a pink bike, pink Barbie, and pink candy... Everything she wants has to be pink... :) All girl if you ask me...

Quick Update!!!

2010-08-15T20:24:00.002-06:00

It has been forever since I last updated. Not much has really happened with us, just staying busy with our daily lives(pretty boring) :) Danica is still growing like a weed and we have found out we will be expecting baby #2 on Valentines Day!!! We will find out what we are having on September 13 and will keep everyone posted..

Danica has had her 2nd birthday and celebrated it on the 24th of July. She gets pretty spoiled on her birthday just cause it lands on a holiday. She got a parade, rodeo, fireworks, and a swimming party. SPOILED if you ask me.

No pictures this time.. Computer wont let me load them..:) Pictures soon I promise...

This year for Memorial we went to Escalante. We had a long weekend of fun. We went on the mountain with Eric's mom and dad, and then we went on a 4-wheerler ride with my parents. Here are some pictures of our weekend.

Its been a while since I last posted & it seems like we are on the go more and more each week.. I am still working part time at South Central and Danica is spending her days at her Aunt Shemras, which she loves. Im sure Shemra has her hands full with her, she is becoming quit the wild child. Danica has started talking alot now, and has become a daddys girl.. When I pick her up from Shems, she always greets me at the car with " Wheres my daddy?" She is into Spongbob and Curious George alot more too.. Doesn't matter what time of day it is, she wants to know where Spongebob and George are... It looks like it is finally summer here and she loves playing outside and loves to go swimming. She is a very busy girl and is always keeping us on our toes..

2010-04-04T13:31:00.009-06:00

This year for Easter we had to end up staying in St George cause Danica was getting pretty sick. We went to the Dr. on Friday just thinking that she was getting teeth or just a cold but she had really bad ear infections and possibly pheumonia... Danica would take a breath and the hold her breath so our Dr. figured that it was hurting her ribs while she would breath. So she was put on some pretty good antibiotics and she was feeling a little better by Saturday.. But just to be safe he told us to stay home.

Saturday morning we sat out Danica's Easter basket and her "big present", which she wasn't too sure of. But she did love her candy..

Another Dr Appointment!!!

2010-03-10T09:16:00.009-07:00

Yesterday was Danica's 18m Dr. appointment.. She did pretty good, for what she had.... She weighs 28 pounds(feels more like 50) and is 33in tall.. She only had 2 shots instead of the usual 4 in her legs and liquid one in her mouth.. She has also had a cough and he said it wasn't anything to be worried about, but she did have both of her ears infected.. Which I would of never known cause she is still pretty happy when she is sick..

Boy how time flies.... Our Dr. even said he thought it felt like yesterday that I had her. Danica has one crazy personality. She is a wild child, never sits still and always jabbering away. She has become quiet the good talker. Yesterday , while I was making our bed she was sitting on the pillows and when I started to put them on the bed she told me " NO, don't do that", just like she had been saying it everyday.. She does like to say "NO" alot, and she is a very good dancer...

She is such a good kid and we are very blessed to have her. I have always been asked, if I could have waited to have her if I would do it. I would never change any minute, she was sent to us for a reason, and she is very loved by our families. I'm excited to see her grow everyday and can't wait to see what her future holds for her..

Sneaky!!!

2010-02-11T16:47:00.004-07:00

Before...

After...

She never seems to amaze me...

SUCH A HARD LIFE!!!

2010-02-10T20:11:00.002-07:00

Poor kid, she has such a hard life... :( All she does is clean, work, and no play... Maybe one day her luck will change and all she will do is just lay around??

WATCH OUT MICHAEL PHELPS!!!

2010-02-10T19:57:00.006-07:00

WATCH OUT MICHAEL PHELPS, HERE COMES DANICA HARDISON:):):):)

This Sunday we went and got our bridals done.. Everything went well, considering it rained the whole week... Danica would not take a picture, so we ended up not getting one with her...I'm excited to see how they turned out. My mom took a few pictures with my camera. Here is a sneak peek...

As you can see, Danica is not happy to take pictures...

MORE TO COME!!!

Worn Out!!!

2010-01-20T11:48:00.007-07:00

Seriously, I don't know how Danica goes all day with only one nap!!! This kid never stops.. She is a fine example of the energizer bunny... Here are a few pictures that I found on my camera of her.. I think it is a good example of what most of her days are like...

Wake up and have breakfast (pretty sure she is still asleep) :)

Do her chores for the day :) Loves to help with everything...

Take a bath and time for play... (notice the big girl undies)

A little snack.. mmm, doughnuts...

And finally, this is how she lands when she is wore out...

This year for New Years we stayed home and went up to Brian Head the next morning... Caitlynn came home with us right after Christmas so she was with us for a week.. The girls loved Brian Head.. We went sledding, tubing and snowmobiling. We had alot of fun and can't wait till we get to go up there again...

New Years night...

~ChRiStMaS~

2010-01-03T15:07:00.016-07:00

Here are some pictures of our Christmas... Danica had five days of opening presents. She started opening her presents three days before we left to go to Escalante, so she could play with her toys before we left. Then she had two more days of opening in Escalante and one in Kanab... Christmas this year was fun, Danica loved it... She loved opening her presents and couldn't wait to get another one.. There is going to be alot of pictures, Danica had 4 Christmas stops before we made it back home.. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New YEar...

Family Picture!!!

2009-12-08T09:50:00.005-07:00

Family Picture 09

Danica is getting more teeth in so she doesn't look very happy... These have probably been the worst set of teeth that she has gotten. She hasn't eaten anything except ice cream for 2 days but she is drinking alot of fluids... And her nose is like a faucet... It doesn't stop draining... We have been having to put her in a hot bath twice a day so it will drain, so she can breath better at night when she sleeps..

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year...

WeEkEnD FuN!!!

Happy Baby

Ready for some snow..

Has a LITTLE temper...Wonder where she gets it.?

High Centered!

Loves driving her car...

Soo cool....

On The Loose...

2009-11-17T12:54:00.009-07:00

Lately, Danica has been a little dare devil. It doesn't matter what it is she will either stand on top of it, crawl up it, or sit on it... Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing around the house...

Big Girl Hair...

2009-11-10T11:41:00.006-07:00

If you have never seen Danica's hair it has WAY WAY WAY a lot of curl... And she only has hair in the back, not on top of her head... Well... her hair is getting long and by the end of the day the gel has worn out and her hair just goes frizzy so it looks like I don't even do anything with her hair....She wont wear her headbands anymore, so here is what I came up with. Now this was the first time I did this and she had to have about ten pounds of candy in front of her so she would hold still.. But this is what I came up with...

This is how curly her hair is...

This is what we came up with...

~HaLlOwEen~

2009-11-02T19:45:00.002-07:00

This year for Halloween Danica was a chicken... She went trick-or-treating for 3 hours and got a full basket of candy... She went trick-or-treating with her cousins, Caitlynn,Capri, and Chasey... Every house we went to Danica chose a Reese... Didn't matter what else was in the basket, thats all she wanted...

Lake Powell

2009-09-22T12:03:00.008-06:00

Last weekend we went to lake powell... It was Danica's first time going and I haven't been since I was a junior, so it was a much needed trip... Danica loved it, she is such a water dog... She loved riding on the boat and wave-runners...We also had the best weather.. NO wind until we were packing up to leave.. Lucky us...

I still have a ton more pictures, but we had a great time. Cant wait to go next year...

Danica's New Boyfriend...

2009-09-22T11:59:00.004-06:00

Danica has a new boyfriend...Dax came over to play while we were in Escalante... He is a cutie...

Playing Outside...

2009-09-22T11:48:00.004-06:00

This is what happens when Aunt Jen watches me while my mom is making dinner...

Mmm, Cheesecake...

2009-09-22T11:42:00.005-06:00

The other day Danica and I decided to make some cheesecake so we could have it after dinner... This is as far as Danica got helping me...

One taste for you, two tastes for me... She didn't like to share very much...I couldn't blame her..

A little sugar high...

She was give-out from making cheesecake.. She decided to take a break...

Brian Head

2009-09-22T11:32:00.007-06:00

About a month ago we went to Brian Head with some friends...We rode razors and went to Mammoth Caves... We had a great time..

This is Eric and Danica climbing down into the cave...

Down in the cave.

You would crawl in the hole and it goes further under-ground...

Trouble...

2009-09-22T11:28:00.003-06:00

This is what trouble looks like when she is caught in the act...

This is where we put our towels and Danica pulled everyone out and decided that she should climb up in...

Trip to Kanab...

2009-09-03T15:02:00.005-06:00

Here are some pictures of us when we went to Kanab to see Eric's family... Danica had so much fun...

Danica loves Dallee...

Camping

2009-09-03T14:40:00.009-06:00

A couple of weeks ago a bunch of my family went camping up at the CC camp by Posey... We had the best time ever... The weather was great, and Danica got to run everywhere... She had a blast...

All the girls.. Caitlynn was trying to hold Chasey and Capri still..

Eating her first smore...She loved them...

Playing..

She totally looked like one of the 101 dalmations..

Breakfast of Champions...

She loved camping..

Such A Helper...

2009-08-18T10:32:00.008-06:00

Danica thinks she is such a good helper... Anything Eric does she wants to sit with him and help him... She is a good cleaner, when she is eating and if food falls on the table she will pick it up and put it back in her bowl... Couple of weeks ago we were cleaning our fans and she want to climb on the side of the ladder...

Trying to climb/help her dad...

Her dad wouldn't let her...

Funny little girl...

Relaxing.....

This is what she does when you tell her to say cheese.....

Danicas Birthday Party!!!

2009-08-18T10:08:00.009-06:00

Danica turned 1 during the 24 celebrations so she had a parade, carnival, rodeo and fireworks and a party for her birthday... She is pretty lucky kid to have so much happen on her birthday... While we were waiting for her party, you can only imagine what happened, it poured cats and dogs... The only time it rains in Escalante, it would happen on her birthday... After our little pour, it did warm up and get sunny... Aunt Jamie made Danica's birthday cake, with the help of my mom and my supervision... She did a good job as always..

24 OF JULY!!!

2009-08-12T11:16:00.009-06:00

This is the first year we have been to the 24 celebrations in 3 years and it was Danica's first year... I forgot how fun they are... I love seeing all the floats and how creative people can get... Danica loved it... She wasn't quite walking yet but when we got back home that Sunday she decided it was way more fun to walk by her self than to have someone hold you all the time.. We started off the morning with the bombs going off (I'm pretty sure that they were right by my bedroom window, thanks Uncle Donnie), then we go to the parade... Sure enough it rained during the carnival... After that we headed off to the rodeo... I was going to have Danica ride a sheep with Capri but my mom wouldn't let me... I think she would of done pretty good.. They would of just pulled her off when the sheep came out... Capri did pretty good riding her sheep...When she fell off she just layed there in the dirt... The fireworks were good this year as well, but Danica didn't make it through half of them... She fell asleep right after 2 of them went off... Here are some pictures of our eventful weekend...

Picking up candy...Jen, Danica & Chasey

Caitlynn, Smokey, Chasey, Capri, Danica & Me.. She didn't like him that much:)

Happy Birthday Danica!!!

2009-07-22T20:16:00.008-06:00

Today is Danica's First Birthday... Crazy right... Yesterday feels like we just brought her home from the hospital...Well a year ago we were just getting into the hospital, only had to do 4 hours of labor and at 11:58, out came little Danica...The little turd is such a good girl and the best baby ever... Danica spend her birthday having her favorite breakfast, bananas and toast... Then she spend the rest of the day playing with Ashlyn...She then opened presents from Grandpa Ken and Grandma Pam and Eric and Me... The toy bear we got her didnt work so she will open it again when we go get another one... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANICA, WE LOVE YA TONZ....

Danica's 1 Year Pictures...

2009-07-21T10:49:00.008-06:00

Danica is already turning 1 on the 22, and I have no idea where the time has gone...Its sad to see her get big so fast...Here are her 1 year old pictures... I love them they turned out so good, even for her not wanting to do them...

4th Of July!!!

2009-07-06T14:07:00.013-06:00

For the 4th we went back to Escalante, I think that we have been there for the past 3 or 4 weekends... We had a pretty busy week... Capri came and stayed with us the week before and played with Danica... Those two were pretty busy... They went swimming and played outside everyday... Then we went to Escalante for the 4th... While we were up there we went fishing at Posey and up to Barker and went on four-wheeler rides...It was Justin's birthday on the 6th so we did a little party for him on Sunday before we left...Happy Birthday Justin... Here are a few pictures of this weekend..

Eating a Popsicle...

Busy, Busy!!!!!

2009-06-17T16:41:00.011-06:00

A lot has happened since I have last posted... I hope that you are ready for some pictures... Danica is still growing like a weed and she is way faster than she has ever been... She climbs on everything, slams doors, plays in the toilet, runs her own bath, hisses like a cat, and now has turned into a dog food eater...:) Yes you read it right, she loves her some dog food... Caitlynn came and stayed with us for two weeks. Danica loved having her here... She even cried when Caitlynn left and searched the whole house looking for her... Danica would wake up and look for Caitlynn and go crawl on her to wake her up to play in the mornings... Enjoy the pictures!!!
Danica driving her dads nascar.. She loves it.. She even shifts while she is driving it and makes the noises...

Danica loved Caitlynn when she came down... Here are the bfs' watching cartoons...

Camping

Eric's fish he caught when we went camping...

Danica's tent for camping, she loved it...

Danica's first black eye...

I love this picture... After she was done driving Eric's Nascar, I put her in her bed for a nap and when I came to check on her, she had fallen asleep sitting up... Nascar just wares her out... :)

Thirsty...

2009-06-02T11:36:00.004-06:00

Danica is such a water dog, doesn't matter what kind of water it is... When we go out side she plays in her little pool, in the dogs water (she spills it and then sits in it), she goes up to the tub and turns it on and plays in it and now she drinks about 5 little sippies a day, plus what ever water bottle I have out and whatever Eric is drinking... I guess its better than soda and juice... K now this water bottle is a liter, yes and she can hold it up and drink from it, with out spilling...

Lost!!!

2009-06-02T10:52:00.005-06:00

One day while I was doing laundry, Danica "secretly" disappeared and I couldn't find her... I searched in all the rooms, the bathrooms, outside in the back yard and I still couldn't find her... When I yelled for her, I could hear her say huh... When I walk by the chairs, I saw the little turd with a big smile on her face...

Then she got stuck under the chairs and the kitchen table... Poor kid, she doesn't like being held up in one place for too long.. :) Oh but it sure helps me...

Sneaking a Treat!!!

2009-06-02T10:29:00.006-06:00

Danica is so mobile, that I cant leave any door open, anything on the floor, no door stoppers on the back of the door, no shoes and the list goes on... Well one day I left the pantry door open and there were some Ritz crackers on the bottom shelf that Danica found... She had eaten about half of the back (yes she loves them, she has them for snacks everyday and in the morning with her fruit for breakfast)... She gets so excited when she sees them... Anyway every time she got a cracker Bandit would come by and take it out of her hand... Which she doesn't mind, she usually takes a bite and then will give you a bite... She is a pretty good at sharing...

Oh, In BIG trouble...

2009-05-18T10:28:00.004-06:00

The other day I was trying to get something done and Danica kept whining and following me around and trying to get me to hold her... So I took matters into my own hands...

What dad its just a car...

Danica loved playing with Eric's cars... I am not sure if he has seen these pictures, but if he has he is taking it pretty good... This is one of the cars that he has collected..

SPOILED

2009-05-18T10:06:00.007-06:00

The other day we got Danica a pool... I figured that it would be easier to get her one than to try and load her in the car and take her to the pool and mess with people... And she loved it... She is a water-dog... I am surprised that the dogs haven't popped it yet but I think they think of it as one big water bowl... When I finally got it blew up she went right for it and jumped in... Clothes still on...

Blowing the pool up...

Waiting for mom... Such a good girl...

In she goes, clothes and all...

Loves her pool...

Trying to get back in...

Poor Baby...

2009-05-18T09:46:00.004-06:00

Danica has officially had her first black eye(well about a week ago)... While we were in the tub, she decided that she was going to leap for the cold water handle and hit her eye on the side of the tub... Boy was she mad... The sad part was when she would let me put her down and put a diaper on her she went back to being crazy Danica, zooming around like no-ones business... While she was playing, she hit her eye again in the same spot... Did I say before that she was mad??? Here are a few pictures that I could get of her...

But as you can see it didn't slow her down any...

Swine Flu & Escalante

2009-05-04T14:13:00.012-06:00

This weekend we were supposed to go up north to the zoo but cause of the swine flu and everyone freaking out we didn't go... Instead we went to Escalante, which was better cause it ended up raining up north the whole weekend... While up in Escalante we went Geo Cashing, I think that's what it was called... You get on the internet and look up coordinates and go to that spot and you have to find the what they left for you... You can take whatever is in the box, but you have to leave something in there for other people who do it.. It was lots of fun... We went all over Escalante looking for these... Here are some pictures of us...

Danica's ready to go...

Oh So Much More!!!

2009-05-04T14:00:00.005-06:00

When I was just starting to think that everyone was wrong about saying that Danica is going to keep me on my toes. When you think that she couldn't do anymore, I leave her alone for 5 minutes and the whole room has changed... I am not even kidding you, not even 2 minutes before this, I had picked all of her toys up, put all the movies up, again, and I walked in the kitchen to throw something away and this is what it looked like when I came back... I can only imagine what it is going to be like when she is faster than I am...

This next pictures is Eric eating a ice cream and all the beggars lined up for a taste

She is getting worse than the dogs... :)

She does like her ice cream...

This isn't supposed to happen.....

2009-05-04T13:50:00.003-06:00

I didn't think this was going to happen for at least 16 more years... Usually when your kids try to sneak out of the house they wait till it was dark, everyone was asleep, and when your not in the room... Here is Danica trying to sneak out...Already...

Easter

2009-04-16T10:50:00.008-06:00

Oh Easter in Escalante, never a dull moment, never great weather, only until the day that you have to leave... To top that all off, I didn't even take a picture of Danica at Easter... So here are some pictures of her Easter dresses that I had gotten her... Let me tell you its pretty hard to get a nine month old to hold still and not crawl away before you take the picture... So if they get a little blurry, you will know why...

A Crazy Week at Grandmas

2009-04-16T10:24:00.005-06:00

Danica and I went up a week early to Escalante so we could watch my sisters kids while my mom went to New York on a little vaca... Oh if we only new what we were getting our self into...:) Those girls are crazy, there is never a dull moment in that house...I now know what my mom goes through every single day... I promise, you look at all three of them sitting watching TV, wont even turn to answer you when your talking to them... Then you turn around to get a drink and before you know it, they are outside down playing in the cow poop... Not only are they just playing in it, they are running, flinging, and herding the cows around...Not even scared at all... The week really went by pretty fast, but it was one week that I didn't dare take all of them out and about, for fear that all hell would break loose...Oh if i only had a picture of these three... Caitlynn and Capri chasing the cows playing in the poop and Chasey on the fence cheering them on... Oh is Jamie in for a LONG LONG run when these three get older...We still love them, they are great entertainment for Danica, but hopefully they don't rub off on her...:) I don't have a picture of this weekend but here is a picture of all four of them together... I think the picture tells it all...

Time For More Fun...

2009-04-02T11:53:00.003-06:00

Last weekend Jamie and the girls came down again... Here are a few pictures of Danica and the girls...

They all were having so much fun in the tub even the dog wanted to get in with them...Notice how Capri is trying to help Chasey a little too much... We didnt go out much, but we had a lot of fun at the house...

So Much...So Little Time...

2009-04-02T11:36:00.006-06:00

A lot has happened the past couple of weeks... Eric, Danica and I went up to Escalante for the weekend... It was so nice up there... Danica played with Chasey, Capri, and Caitlynn on the tramp and she did nothing but grim from ear to ear... We also took her for a ride on the four-wheeler, that she loved but when we put some sunglasses on her she freaked... My mom also found a Johnny Jumper (i think that what they are called) for Danica and she jumped her little heart out... She loved it... We brought it down to our house but our walls and our door ways are all too tall so here is how we improvised...

She hates her sunglasses

Jumping off some of those leg rolls...

2009-03-19T15:59:00.004-06:00

This week has been so so nice outside... If St George could only stay this temperature and not get any hotter... Its been awesome... Danica has been playing outside a lot this week, and I think that she is officially ready for summer...

Best Friends Forever!!!

2009-03-19T15:50:00.003-06:00

This past weekend we watched Adalayde... She came and spent the night and Danica loved her... Adi was a big help with Danica, even when Danica tried to eat her toes, climb on top of her and pull at her bows... These two spent over an hour in the tub playing, played out side and sat and watched cartoons... They both were so good... I can only imagine what they are going to be like when they get older and can actually do some damage... Ladies lock your sons up...

Weekend Fun!!!

2009-03-09T21:15:00.006-06:00

This weekend was nice enough that we could get outside for a couple of hours without freezing... Danica loved it... We went bowling with Jennifer and Eric and we all also went to the park... Here are a few pictures...

Me and Danica, She just had her first sucker...As you could guess she loved it...

Im a big kid now!!!

2009-02-12T19:30:00.005-07:00

For a while now Danica has not liked her little tub thing she lays on in the tub... So I have been getting her in the shower with me in her little tub... She liked that for a while then she decided that she could lean far enough forward that she would just slid out... So one day she head dove and smacked her face in the shower... So then I just sat her on the shower floor and she liked that for a while... So now I decided to just let her get in the tub for her self... She thinks she is pretty hot stuff sitting in the tub splashing... She loves it...

Snoopy and a little whip cream!!!

2009-02-12T18:45:00.003-07:00

The other night I was having some strawberries and whip cream... Danica was worse than the dogs... She was drooling and just sat and watched the strawberries... She wouldn't even take her eyes off them... So I decided to give her a little taste... She made a sour face with the strawberry but she kinda liked the whip cream... Oh and snoopy, our neighbor gave it to her... He said he won it like 20 or 30 years ago when he was in a bar up in Salt Lake...

My Little Princess

2009-02-12T18:39:00.004-07:00

The other day when we were at my moms house, I decided to play dress up with Danica... We were a little bored, but I think it fits her pretty good.

My Favorite

2009-01-28T15:24:00.007-07:00

Today while I was going through Danica's bows I found one that I had gotten her a while ago, and now it finally fits... I think that it is my favorite bow... So we played dress up...

Oh this is how Danica smiles now... She thinks its pretty funny...

I love this bow... My Favorite

Finally we have a good smile...

She wouldn't look up anymore... She was way into her book...

~A New Present ~

2009-01-28T14:58:00.005-07:00

About a week ago before Danica and I went up to Escalante we happen to bring my family a little present, well my mom knew but it was a good surprise for my dad, and boy was he happy...Caitlynn, Chasey, and Capri loved the surprise... I have never been called about 20 times on my way up to see how close I was... They were pretty excited... Here are a few pictures of the gift...

Danica and her new little friend...

She loves him so so much...

Ya my dad wasn't so hot about getting another dog... But he was sure into getting down on the floor and playing with him... Doesn't like him my butt... Looks like he does to me...

~ChUnKy MoNkEy~

2009-01-26T14:53:00.002-07:00

Today was Danica's 6 month checkup...She now weighs 21 pounds and is 27 1/4 in tall... She is 99 % in weight and 93% in height... She is a monster... When her Dr. walked in the first thing he said was "Hello Chunky Monkey"... She like any other baby or child hated her shots, but she did pretty good.

VEGGIES YUMM!!!

2009-01-13T11:03:00.003-07:00

Last night Danica had her first taste of veggies... We had the video camera out so we could get her reaction on her face when she first taste the squash... Right when she was about to eat it, the freaking power went out... Really, power went out and it was completely dark...So while Eric was trying to find some flashlights I managed to try and feed her and film her eating it... I didn't do the best of filming, when I would look down I would be filming her arm or the chair... We didn't have a problem with the squash though... She loved it... I don't think that this child will have a problem with any kind of food... She loves it all.

JUST A FEW NEW!!!

2009-01-09T15:13:00.009-07:00

Here are just a few new pictures I have taken since Christmas... Danica got a late toy for Christmas, thanks for the idea aunt Gwen...She loves this thing...Any who here are a few pictures...

She was eating cereal and I could see it in her eye, and right when i went to take the spoon out...She sneezed... RESULT!!!

When I get ready I put Danica on my bed so she can play...When i came out to check on her i couldn't see her... She had burrowed her way down into the blankets...Crazy little girl...

Loves her new giraffe

She is a clean freak!!! She loves to clean:)

Riding her giraffe

Getting tired of all the pictures...

And finally, this girl loves to read... Doesn't matter what your reading, she will sit right there with you...Hopefully this pays off with school too...:)

Christmas Week

2008-12-30T19:46:00.012-07:00

Once again this year, Christmas was crazier than ever...The last minute shopping, wrapping and trying to get home to be with our families...The best part of it was it was Danica's first Christmas...She didn't really like opening the presents or play with the toys she got, but she did loved the bows...I wish I had a picture of how big her eyes got every time she saw a bow... Another GREAT part of Christmas this year is it finally snowed in Escalante...When we got to Escalante we did our usual things for Christmas... Christmas Eve we had a family dinner and then proceeded to play cards like every year...I am proud to say I did win 2 rounds(which NEVER happens)...We did manage to get a lot of tubing in...When I get pictures I will post them....Also during the Christmas break we got Danica blessed...She did very good and she looked so cute...I hope that every year will be as great as this one...
Danica's First Christmas

Do you think she is a LITTLE big!!!

Chasey and Capri were a little wore out after tubing...

He was teaching her how to drive Nascar...She smiled the whole time...

She loves playing with her dad...

Here are someother pictures of Danica... Her new little thing she does is suck on her bottom lip and I swear she can do elk calls...(grandpa would be so proud) It is the weirdest thing...Ill try to get a movie up of her doing it...Where she gets some of these things, I have no idea...

Just a LITTLE Bored

2008-12-10T11:46:00.008-07:00

Yesterday we had our carpets cleaned, so that confined Danica and I to her room... So while we waited I got looking through all of Danica's pictures we have... Is it not so so so crazy how fast they grow... I could of cried... I loved when she was so small, (maybe cause she wouldn't fight back when I try to play dress up with her) but I do love where she is at now... You can just look over and she has the biggest grin on... I love it...Anyway, here are a few pictures of then(while i was pregnant) and a little of yesterday when we had nothing else to do...

Ok about this LITTLE picture, my hand is up cause my shirt was slowly coming up... This was about 3 weeks before I had Danica and let me tell you this picture is small cause by the end of I had grew out of my maternity clothes.

Just leaving the hospital, look how little she is...

She is in my hands so you can see how tiny she was...

Ok now look real close at her cheeks and arms...Do you see it????? There is no fat:):)

The rest of these pictures are of yesterday, how you can tell, the cheeks.Oh and she LOVES her hands...

When I was wraping presents she would just stare at the bows, so I gave her, her own...

This is probably the only picture I have of just me and Danica... Yes we look a little scary, but I think that I am just going to have to start taking our own pictures...:):)

BUt look how big she has gotten... It goes by way too fast...:(

OH YA!!!

2008-12-09T14:38:00.002-07:00

Oh i forget to tell you how much i HATE HATE HATE the car-seat holders that restaurants use.. WHY, while Danica was sitting in her little holder in her car seat she managed to tip forward and hit her eye on the table... Hopefully she doesn't have a black eye for Christmas...

Just A Few Pictures

2008-12-09T13:50:00.010-07:00

Here are a few pictures of the past couple of weeks... Tons has happened; My parents and Jamie and her kids came down this weekend..We went and got Danica's ears pierced... I think that Chasey and Capri would of done it if they wouldn't of watched Danica get hers'... When they saw it they chickened out...We went and saw SANTA!!! Danica is now eating cereal... She didn't really love it at first, but now she freaks out when she sees it...Also Danica got a new bouncer... She loves it... AND THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF THE WEEKEND............................................. CAITLYNN LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!!!!!

Loves her new bouncer...

You cant really see the cereal on her face but I love that her love handles are hanging out of her shirt...:)

Loves the bounce

Caitlynn lost(well she pulled it out her self) her first tooth, she was soo soo proud...

All the grand-kids by the Christmas tree

Danica right after she got her ears pierced... She did so good.

Danica and Santa... She wants a new puppy!!!(dad)

Danica and Grandpa... He has to hold her hand cause she loves to pull his mustache and chest hair and he is too big of a girl to let her...

NEW SIGNATURE

Thanks to Danni "the Genius" I have a cute little signature to put at the end of my posts.. They are way way cute...

Thanksgiving

2008-12-01T22:03:00.006-07:00

For Thanksgiving we went to Escalante. While we were there we also went and got Christmas trees... Here are some pictures of our trip...

Look at all of the SNOW!!!

4 Months Old

2008-11-21T14:14:00.003-07:00

Today Danica went in for her four month check-up...She will be four months tomorrow. My little monster weighs 15 pounds 10 oz and is 24 1/2 inches long...You should see her leg rolls... When i change her I have to make sure that I get between two sets of rolls... She had to have 4 shots, 3 in her legs and one that is liquid in her mouth... She did good until the shots and she stopped crying right after they were done and just stuck her bottom lip out and tears ran out of her eyes... It was funny, but sad. When we went in she was looking around and smiling at everyone that looked at her, but when we left she just held her blanket up to her face and wouldn't even look at me or anyone else... I think that her feelings were hurt... But overall she did a pretty good job...

SPORTS WEEKEND; EVERY WEEKEND!

2008-11-12T07:32:00.007-07:00

K so you all probably know that in our house it is sports, sports, and more sports, this is what our weekend consist of all the time.. First comes Friday; this sport is usually the truck/Nascar races, and of course if there is any football, golf, volleyball, ect, that is on it is an always flipping between the channels. Then there is Saturday, this is also Nascar; I cant remember which one this is called to get the terms right, but it is the busch cars, and of course any other sports. Then comes Sunday; Nascar/Cup Series, football anything else. Monday;football. Not just one game of football, when your in TWO fantasy football teams that means you watch EVERY football game that comes on Monday-Sunday. This isn't really a bad thing. I don't mind watching sports, I have learned a lot of new things in the past 3 years, I just don't like my whole TV watching to be sports. I do have a few favorite shows I like to get in.

So now there has been a turn of the worse. Its just my little side-kick has just betrayed me. Danica used to give me an excuse to always have to get up or "oh man I'm out of diapers, guess we need to run to Wal Mart real quick" She has went to the other side. Here is the evidence. I was crushed.

Now this isn't a bad thing, I actually think that its cute. Here are some more pictures of my little traitor and the enemy..

These are my favorite pictures. Danica LOVES her daddy so much.

A LITTLE HERE & A LITTLE THERE!!!

2008-11-11T12:07:00.008-07:00

Here are just some pictures that I have recently taken over the past couple of weeks. It so crazy how time flies by so fast. Danica is starting to have such a fun personality.. She is quit the character. I think that she may be a little out of control when she gets older. I can't wait..

Loves her swing.

Look at those CHEEKS!!!

Double chin..

She is my little laundry helper...

2008-11-07T22:10:00.006-07:00

This year for Halloween we went to Escalante. Being the smart one that I am, I did NOT take one picture of Danica. Why I have no idea. She was a pea-in-a-pod. I know not very girlish, but thats all I could find that would fit her. She did great for the first hour, then she sacked out and slept the rest of the time. I do have some pictures of when we first got her costume a month before, as you can see its a little big for her. I will get some pictures from my mom and put them on here sooner or later.

GrAnDmA & ThE WiLd ThInGs CoMeS To ViSiT

2008-10-28T11:10:00.007-06:00

On Thursday my mom and Jamie & the Kids came down to visit, and of course do some shopping. Danica loves watching Capri. Capri would sing her the freckled frog song and Danica would smile from ear to ear. Capri is going to be my little babysitter. I think that we are going to have to have Capri move in so she can keep Danica entertained. She helps me change, feed and get Danica in the bath. She always tells me "She is so so cute, I think that I will keep her". Then when I ask her how she is going to feed her she tells me, "Well I guess you can come too". Danica really likes Capri, Chasey & Caitlynn, they are all a big help in keeping Danica entertained while they are here. Here are some pictures of what we did this weekend.

Long Week

2008-10-28T10:55:00.009-06:00

This past week Danica has been sick with the cold. She was running a temp of 102 and had a sore throat.We ended up having sleep in our rocking chair cause she couldn't sleep on her back cause she couldn't breath laying down. Our nights would consist of trying to get her to eat so she would stay hydrated and sucking her nose..Finally we had to put her in a hot bath to try and see if it would loosen up and drain out. This worked a little, so she was getting bathed 2 or 3 times a day so we could suck it all out. Still with her being sick she was such a trooper. On Friday she was starting to feel better and now she is back to her old crazy self. Here are some of her pictures that we took yesterday cause she was so so happy. Hopefully there aren't too many, but they are so cute.

I think she was finally tired of us taking pictures.

3 MONTHS OLD, ALREADY!

2008-10-22T18:59:00.004-06:00

Today Danica is 3 months old.. Its so crazy how fast time flies. She is a really good baby, we couldn't ask for a better baby. She is starting to coo/talks a lot and she never stops smiling. We are excited to see her grow, and can't imagine life without her..

5 Generation Pictures

2008-10-22T17:54:00.006-06:00

This Monday Danica and I went up to Richfield to meet my mom , Jamie and her kids, and my Grandma Shakespear to get her and Jamie's 5 generation pictures done with her Great Great Grandma Shafer. It was good to see her and she was doing really good. She loved Danica. She would just follow her around and make cooing noises to her... All of the other ladies there were so happy to see all of the kids. They kept asking if Danica was a real baby and if she cried.. (now remember we are at a care center so everything is easily forgotten) All the ladies sat and watched as if they had never seen kids before..One of them even asked what Danica's name was and when I told her she said, well that's an unusual name.. I thought it was funny. Anyways we all had a good time and we cant wait to go back and visit her again. Here are some pictures of our little trip.

Danica's First Big Hunt!!!

2008-10-17T11:29:00.012-06:00

This last weekend Eric, Danica and I went to Escalante so Eric could go hunting with my dad and so I could go to Danni's wedding. Let me tell you, Escalante it WAY colder than St. George is. We froze. My Mom, Caitlynn, Chasey, Capri, Danica and I drove up on the mountain to go see if the guys were still alive. It was a slow drive from all of the wash boards but we still had a good time. Danica didn't do bad at all, she was really good. Believe it or not she even slept through the bumpy ride.

Danica & Eric

Sleeping with Grandpa

On that Saturday we drove over to Rubys to go to Danni's wedding. Danni look so pretty, and the wedding went great. Danica was in a way good mood the whole time with just the occasional feeding in between but she did awesome. We had a great time and even got snowed on, on the way home.
