Where has my baby gone??

Is she seriousley 15 months old already? I can't hardly think about how fast she is growing up without getting so sad! They all say to cherish every moment because they grow up so fast. The past 15 months has gone by so fast! This is her favorite toy. That thing is running all day long. She not only puts the balls inside it, but I've found an apple core, her Tylenol, magnets, pens, etc...
She loves chips...just like her daddy. She was eating veggies, then her daddy gave her a chip, so she decided to give the veggies back. She actually really likes her veggies, which is awesome. She just prefers chips over veggies :) She is finally walking!! Life is much better now that she can get around better and get where she wants to go. She cruises all over the house. She loves to take her clothes out of her drawers, throw them over her shoulder, and haul them around. She has 9 teeth....3 of which are molars. Ok, her molars are GIGANTIC!!! I swear they are as big as mine! I don't know if this is normal or not, but wow, poor girl. It's gotta hurt like crap!
Anyway, we got all moved to Price, Daniel started school and I'm back to work at the Beehive in Price and Elmo. It's been way crazy busy the past month, but it's all good. We are renting a cute little house and really like it. Hope you all have a happy 4th of July! We're off to Swan Valley in Idaho for the celebration, so all you Blanding folks enjoy the classic "4th of July in Blanding" without us! :(

New toys!

Well this is our new toy! We're so excited. We've been wanting a 4 wheeler forever but just never really got one. We found a great deal on good ole' KSL, so we decided to go for it! It's a Kawasaki Brute force 750 (if that means anything to any of you!) I haven't driven or even rode on it yet, but hopefully we'll be able to go on a ride soon. It rained all day, so it's a muddy mess everywhere. ---- We found a place to live in Price and got all moved in. Not everything is unpacked, but it's all here! I started work Monday and it's been non-stop since. I sure hope it slows down as time goes on. Daniel and I are playing on softball leagues this summer. I have games Tuesday nights and he plays on Thursday nights, so that's kept us busy. It's so much fun. We lost both our games this week, but we still had a blast!

Wow...lots going on!




We have been soooo busy these past few weeks. I don't even know where to start! We hit up the zoo last week. Kaylie loved it. She thought all the animals were puppies and was panting at them. It was funny. We had our 4th anniversary on the 21st of May!! Holy crap I don't even know where the past 4 years have gone! It's gone by so super fast. It's been great and I wouldn't trade it for anything. In the past 4 years, I've gotten my RN, a baby and the best husband in the world!!! Who could ask for more?! For our anniversary, we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants....TEXAS ROADHOUSE!!! Man, that place is the best. We took Kaylie with us, because we had a few more errands to run, so we decided to just bring her along for the celebration! We had a great night and can't wait for more to come! And last, but not least... we've decided to move to Price. With Daniel going to school and everything, we thought it would be best to just move down there. So, we've been house hunting for the past 2 weeks. Let me tell ya...it pretty much sucks and is discouraging. We don't want to rent because we will be there for at least 2 years, but there is really nothing decent to buy. Everything is so over-priced, it's not even funny. We have to be out of our place here in Spanish Fork by the 1st of June (yes, that's this Sunday) and we totally don't have a place to go down there. Talk about stress, frustration, discouragement, blah blah blah! I got my old job back at Beehive Homes, an assisted living and I'll also be working at another assisted living in Emery County. It will be flexible with Daniel's school and Kaylie, so I think it'll work out really good. Well I think that's about our 2 week adventures in a nut shell. Wish us luck and hope we're not living on the streets in Price, Utah!!

My Mother's Day!

I had a great Mother's Day this year! I worked the night before, and had to work that night again, so I was pretty much sleeping all day, but I still had a great day! I have been wanting a big mirror for my living room wall. I have looked, but not found the one I wanted. Daniel gave me some cash so I could go find the perfect mirror! I also got a sweet card. When it opens, it sings the song "girls just wanna have fun". It's cute. Anyway, I just love being a mom and can't believe that I am a mom. It's just crazy. I stinkin love this little girl. We're such good buddies and are always having a good time!
Sittin on the floor, eating grapes. She loves them!

I love this picture. She's got the funniest face! I think she's trying not to smile, but it's hard! Hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day!!!

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!!
