Slightly Behind

Its only been 5 months since I last updated with whats been going on with us.  So I'll give a quick 5 month update of what has happened.

November- Danica had Thanksgiving dinner at school this year and she loved everything about it except they gave her squash. She said it was gross!. 

Our family Thanksgiving was very filling this year. First we had Thanksgiving with my family at our house in St George a week early cause that's when Justin was home from work.  The weather couldn't be more perfect and the food was great! After Thanksgiving we went and looked at Christmas trees at Jubilee of Trees. The girls got to see Santa (Peyton hates him) and they also got to have their face painted.

Then on Thanksgiving we also ate dinner with Eric's family, also alot of good food. Usually that weekend we also go with the Eric's family and get Christmas trees... We had alot of fun up there and it was good to get to see snow since this winter has been out of whack this year and has been more like summer! We found a pretty good Christmas tree, ate chili and got to visit with everyone...

CHRISTMAS:
This year we stayed home and opened presents at our house then headed over to Escalante. Christmas was really fun this year, the girls got so excited.. They got everything they wanted and more! This year the girls big present and Hanks was we got another min pin. They all were excited.. I had to go meet my Grandma Shakespear in Cedar, she brought him down from up north. Danica named him charlie,pink and princess; Eric finally named him Buck...

January: Everything was back to normal now from all the holidays. Danica back in school and Peyton and me waiting for her to get out :).

This month Peyton turned 1, which was sad.. She doesn't look like a baby anymore and is getting so big. She used to be tall and really tiny but now she is getting chubbier and taller... Seriously she looks like she could be 2. Makes me sad to see her get so big so fast. I wish they all could stay little forever...

February:
This year Eric and I have been married 2 years. It doesn't feel like two years have already passed. I'm glad we are where we are and that we have our two little wild, crazy, funny girls to keep us on our toes.

Jennifer and Todd also got married this month.. Their wedding was great, and very pretty..

Wish I could put up pictures but for some reason they won't load.. !

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

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

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!!!

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***

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

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...:)

BaBy PiCtUrEs

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

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

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!!!

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!!!

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..

~HaPpY eAsTeR~

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!!!

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!!!

Before...

After...

She never seems to amaze me...
