1 year pics

We had 1 year pics done today. Wow, what a long, exhausting, tiring day! It seriousley wears me out. She was really good though, so I am thankful for that. We went to my fav place to get pics done...Kiddie Kandids. These are just the plain pics...they go through and put boarders on them, her name, edit things, change from color to black and white or sepia, etc. They turned out so cute. I am very happy with them. I got 5 framed pics that will be here in a few weeks. Can't wait to get them here. I have a bare wall in my living room that just drive me nuts, so these pics will be perfect! I'll post pics when I get them here and hung up on the wall.

1 year check-up

We had Kaylie's 1 year check-up a few weeks ago. Of course I forgot my camera, but thank goodness I had my phone. :) This was after the 4 shots. She was not a happy camper!

Makes me so sad! Usually they get 2 nurses and get them done 2 at a time. But not this time... all 4 at seperate times. It was awful! I was about to offer to help her out and do 2 of them myself, but I don't know if I could handle that. It's bad enough seeing the way she looks at me like "why are you letting them do this to me mom?" The pic on the left totally shows how nervous she was!

She was a little more happy in this pic. It was before the doctor came in. I don't know why, but she's terrified of them. Probably cause they always hold her down and she hates that. He said she's healthy and growing good! Weight: 19 lb 3 oz. (20% tile)

Height: 27 inches (30% tile)

GOOD NEWS!!

Well the letter says it all....Daniel got accepted into the nursing program in Price! We are super excited!!! I totally know how he feels....this is all deja vu for me. I'm so glad it's him and not me this time around! I honestly wasn't sure if he would get in, just because he decided 5 days before spring semester that he wanted to go back to school and do nursing. At this point, all the classes up here were full, so he decided to commute to Price 5 days a week to finish his pre reqs. He only had 3 more classes to do, which was awesome. There were 233 applicants and they only accepted 25 in Price and 15 in Blanding. I feel so blessed that he got in! He's worked so hard this semester and it's apparently paid off! It has been tough at times...he stays some nights at his parent's house in Helper, just so he doesn't have to drive through the canyon in horrible weather and to also save on gas. With me working graves, we sure don't see much of eachother. We're not sure if we're going to move down or not. I'd like to stay up here until our lease is up on our house in October. I really like my job and would just rather stay here. But if the commuting gets too terrible, we may just pack up and move, once again. I swear, we move more than anyone I know. Anyway, congrats babe!! I'm so proud of you!!

1st Birthday Party!!

She loved her cake! I thought she'd dig in, but holy crap, I didn't think she'd like devour the whole thing! She had frosting all over her body. From her head to toes! The frosting kinda stained her body, but she didn't mind!

As you can see, my cakin-making skills aren't the best. I actually were impressed with this lady bug. It turned out better than I thought.

This is her first dolly. She loves it. She'll pack it around with her everywhere she goes. She loves to play with the eyes and give her kisses. So cute.
This little pink car makes all these loud noises and drives all over the place. She was kinda scared of it at first, but she likes it now.

We got her this car that she can push around and we can also push her in it. I really like it cuz it has a seat belt, so I can strap her down and she can't get out! She loves it. I'll put her in it while I'm cleaning the kitchen and just push her around everywhere I go.
She'll just sit in it for hours. She watches cartoons in it, eats snacks, and helps mom clean the house. She just loves it!

Grandma Mower brought Kaylie a bag of clothes from Old Navy for her Birthday. She was so cute with them. She would pull them out and look at them all. She was so cute. It was such a fun birthday! I CAN NOT believe she is ONE YEAR OLD!!! It's just insane that I have a 1 year old. I can't get over it. Her birthday was on Sunday...at church we were singing "Because I have been given much" and I just looked down at her and totally felt so grateful for her! I have always loved that song, but never really thought about it like that. I truly am blessed to have such a sweet daughter. I don't know why I am so lucky to have her, but she truly is the biggest blessing ever! She makes me so happy. I look forward to each day to see what new things she will do! We had a great birthday and can't wait for many more to come!! Love you Kaylie Rae!!

One year ago...

One year ago today....I was ready to pop! This was the night before I had Kaylie. I remember we watched National Treasure 2, and I remember thinking to myself, "man, this may be the last time we get to watch a movie together before I have the baby." Sure enough....it was. I don't have very many pics of my belly, so I'm glad we took this one. I was reclined in my chair, eating caramel popcorn. We're having a Birthday party for Kaylie tomorrow. Can't wait!! I honestly do not believe that she is one. I'm straight-up in denial. I'll post pics of the party and presents, etc. later!

New addition to the family...

This is the newest addition to our family: A 2005 Jeep Rubicon. Daniel's family is totally into jeepin in Moab and we are going to be able to join them! We've gone in the past and just drove Daniel's dad's old jeep. Daniel and his dad were building a jeep for us, but after a lot of thought, we figured it would be cheaper to buy a jeep than to pay someone to finish ours for us. We drove up to Heber the other night to check this one out and ended up buying it that night!! It's totally loaded for Moab so we can have a great adventure. We're going down in April. I'm really excited. My first Moab trip I went on was when Daniel and I were just barely engaged. I was so scared, because I've never done anything like that! It still kinda gets my heart racing, but it'll be fun. As you can see, Daniel is pretty proud of his new toy. He'll go out in the garage and just look at it and mess with it. AND...my car is now out in the drive way. Poor thing got booted out of the garage!!

Kaylie likes the jeep too. We've gone on a few rides and she acts like she really likes it! I will be a little nervous in Moab with her in it, but Daniel is so safe-we'll be ok. I'll post pics after the trip.

Big Disappointment

Hey Bachelor fans! Is anyone else totally pissed at Jason?! I loved Melissa from day 1. She's so cute, great personality and totally sincere. I just can't believe he led her on, proposed and put a ring on her finger! He's been through that with Deona and knows how it feels. I was totally blown away during the after show when he said things had changed in the last 6 weeks. I do think Molly is a nice girl, but come on dude. Make up your mind the first time and quit breaking hearts!!! I don't know if I can watch the other "re-cap show" tonight. Guess we'll see.
