Bailee is crawling!!!! And Dinosaur Museum

Bailee Has been crawling for a little bit now and i finally got video!! She started crawling at 6 1/2 months! She is crazy!! She army crawls just like Blake did! Blake actually went from army crawling to walking. She is trying to get on her hands and knees so i bet she will be crawling normally soon :) She is crazy! She tries to crawl so fast she is out of breath all the time. It is soooooo nice that she crawls. I was really nervous about having two mobile kids but it is sooo nice!

 Bailees personality is so awesome! She is sooo happy. Smiles all day long. She thinks everything is funny and loves to socialize. She will stare at someone and make all sorts of crazy noises until they look at her and smile. My friend and i decided to take our kids outside so we had to bundle up! Bailee rubs her feet together so much that her socks come off. So i had to put them over her pants so she keeps warm

 I love Bailees eyes! They are so big and a gorgeous blue. I love that they are so unique

 Bailee and Blake are finally in the same room. It took a while because Bailee has been so sick her whole life so she wasnt sleeping through the night. I was not about to get out of bed and go calm her down a million times through the night. So we waited. She loves her bed :) This picture almost makes me tear up. This was her first night in her bed and i had that extra blanket and bear and doll at the other end of the bed. When we went and checked on the kids before we went to sleep this is what we found. Blake had put all of this up to her to keep her safe :) He is such a good big brother with such a tender heart

 Bailee LOVES food! Every food. If you have food she goes crazy and ends up crying if you dont let her have some. He favorite baby food are sweet potatos. She didnt touch fruits for a while but now finally loves them. I am hoping she will be a lot less picky than Blake!

 Bailee doesnt really like to be held anymore. She just wants to be down crawling. She LOVEs Blake. She thinks he is so funny. She loves when he dances and and runs in a circle. She is super intense about everything. I love it and i love her!!

This happens pretty much everyday. Right when i put her in her carseat, she pulls her bow down and sucks on it, pulls off her socks and sucks on her toes! HAHA She has to have something in her mouth at all times:)

 Chance of course thought it would be funny to wrap him up! He was not a fan! HAHA i thought it was funny

 Blake still loves his sister. He is a lot better and softer with her now which is good. But he still has his moments where he wont leave her alone. Drives me crazy and drives her crazy! But he is so sweet at the same time. He never intentionally hurts her, he just thinks he can play rough with her.

 This is Blake and his cute little friend Elsie! He loves her. He thinks she is cute and fun. I think he has good taste!

 They play a lot because her mom and i are good friends. Its hard because Blake doesnt really know how to play with a girl. He still isnt understanding but i am sure he will catch on soon.

 We took them to the dinosaur museum the other day and they had a blast

 Look how cute they are!!!

 Blake thought the dinosaurs were pretty much the coolest things ever.

 Both of them didnt want to touch the sand at first, but finally they decided they didnt care of they got dirty because it just looked too fun

 Love this pic!

 Blake was really nervous about this shark at first! He always pretends that he is hiding from the sharks so when he saw this one he was scared. But he was ok after i showed his it was fake

 Me and my sweet boy

Happy Valentines day!

This year Valentines Day was a little different. WE actually celebrated it on Tuesday becasue Chance had both school and work off. I woke up to yummy breakfast in bed! French toast and sausage! Yummy. Then Chance took the kids out while i got ready and they brought me back gorgeous flowers and yummy dried mangos, my fav! Then we actually ran errands the rest of the day. My friend Clarissa was so nice and asked if she could babysit my kids when they went to bed and Chance and i could go out to dinner. So we went to Outback for some yummy dinner and then we went and played pool at FatCats! It turned out to be a pretty great day! Little did we know that when we woke up the next morning we would both be so sick! But thats ok!

Today we took Blake around the complex so he could give all his friends a valentine. He loved doing! And then when we got home they to open their little Valentines day present from me and Chance!

 My cute little love! She is mobile now. She does her own version of army crawling its pretty funny

I love that i finally have a little girl to dress in Pink!

 Blake all ready to deliver his valentines. Cute story........ Blake has a little crush.... Her name is Elsie. Oh he really likes her. He always tells me that she is cute and he wants to play with her. Well he made these valentines with his Nana last night and he had all of his friends get a little bag of candy hearts. But of course not Elsie. He needed to make sure she got a hole bag filled of different candy and and the bag had to have a bow. Then he also needed to make her two heart cookies. Oh my gosh i think he has the sutest crush ever. Her mom is my really good friend so we are really loving this cute little couple

 Their Valentines day presents! Blake doesnt have a big spiderman and when i gave it to him his eyes got huge and he was so excited. I got Bailee her very first baby doll. I have been waiting and waiting. I love baby dolls and....... SO DOES SHE!!!! She loves her little doll. She got so excited

 But of course she also wanted Spiderman

 And since Bailee wanted Spiderman, naturally Blake wanted her doll, just to make it fair haha

 First thing she does!

 AWWWWW she looks so adorable with a baby doll

He cant even handle how excited he is that he has a "real" siderman he says

I am so lucky to get to spend love day with all my loves. I love Chance more than anything. He is my best friend and my everything. Blake is the light of my life. He brings so much laughter and love into our home i could not love him more. And sweet Bailee brings such sweetness to our family. Nothing like having a little girl :) Life is so good

Blake Oh Blake

Blake has been quite the rough child lately....... I know he is 2.5 and going through terrible twos, but sometimes it just gets too much to handle.The catch is, is that Blake has the sweetest heart, so when he acts like a crazy person it is so unnatural and even freaks him out sometimes. He doesnt do much in public thank goodness. I think that would seriously make me cry. But when we are home he purposely does things he is not supposed to, then tells me just to get a reaction out of me, pushes Bailee over and steals all her toys, screams at the top of his lungs when he goes to time out, and more i am sure i just cant think of them.

The other day we were at a friends house and he slapped his friend in the face. So i immediately made him say sorry and we left. we walked home with him screaming the whole way home. like screaming at the top of his lungs. I put him right in time out for a while and when i went to go get him he immediately said mom i am so sorry. It hit him hard that we had to go home. Such a little bum.

But on a good note. 65% of the time he is such an amazing little boy :) He is loving to cuddle right now which i am soaking up. He tells me he loves me all the time and tells Bailee to! The other day i heard him talking ot Bailee in the family room, he said, " I love you Bailee, I just really love you. Ok? Ok Bailee?" It melted my heart. Whenever Bailee goes to the doctor and they do something to make her cry, he gets into my diaper bag and brings her her blankie or bottle. He is HILARIOUS!!! Oh my gosh that little boy has me laughing so much during the day. Whenever the Jake and the Neverland Pirates music video comes on he runs and grabs his guitar and rocks out with them! When he does feel good or he is tired he always asks Chance to give him a blessing :) He loves to read his Book of Mormon before he goes to sleep. His favorite story is when Nephi Builds a ship.

 This is actually a perfect picture of who he is these days. He wears his cape that i made him all the time. He is either Batman or Superman. He is getting his imagination and i am loving it. He acts things out and always pretends there are sharks that are coming to get him. Silly boy. He started being afraid of the dark and i did not want him to have to go through that so i told him if he is scared he needs to pray to Heavenly Father and he will make him feel better. He got scared every once in a while but that is all we told him and he hasnt said anything for a while

Blake is very smart. He talks way beyond his age and acts way beyond his age(minus the terrible two thing). He knows what the letter B is and knows that B is for Blake. He knows all his colors and has memorized soooooo many songs. He remembers Book of Mormon stories, Church songs, and everything he does in nursery on Sundays. He tells me every time he was naughty to someone and says sorry. He has SUCH A GOOD arm! He can throw so far and can catch chances football from across the room. He always begs me to go to school and told me the other day that he had to go to work. I asked him what he does for work and he said he fixes cars hahahaha! He loves anything and everything his dad does.

Even though sometimes i really just want to get rid of him for the day, i love him to pieces and wouldnt have him any other way

Sweetest laugh ever!

My sweet girl has the cutest laugh! I love her!!

And Blake has the cutest smile ever! I love him!

Spain Madrid!

My sister Macy got her mission call! Thats right, on June 12th she will be entering the Spain MTC and then serving for 18 months in the Spain, Madrid mission. She could not be more happy. Of course i could not be happier for her, but the selfish part of me is so devastated. I cannot believe she is going to be leaving us. Macy and I talk on the phone pretty much everyday. How am i not going to be able to call her and tell her all the cute, lame, crazy and naughty things my kids do? Or get advice about all my problems? It is going to be so hard but i know that she is going to shine. She is going to be who she has been her whole life, a missionary! She has taught something to everyone she has been associated with. I cant imagine the wonders she is going to do in Spain. I am so proud of her and am so thankful she gets to live her dream and teach people the truth.

Me, Chance, Reilly and my kids drove to Cedar City on Thursday and she got her call on Friday! Nothing better than being there when a mission call is opened!

 My sweet girl looked so girlie going to church this morning!

 These are all out of order and all have red eye! But we were both so excited my heart was pounding!

 RIGHT THERE!!!!! SPAIN MADRID!!!

 Macy was glowing and couldnt stop smiling it was so awesome

 First time reading the letter! WE had two comps working Skype and a million phones with all the family listening

 Opening it! We had to wait like 30 minutes for my mom and dad to get things working. It was killer!

 This picture means a lot to me. My grandpa daddy collected light houses, so whenever i see one i think of him. I miss him

 My life!

 Right when we saw the mail guy driving up, we ran outside and got to him before he even got out of his car!

 Proud sister missionary :)

 Oh yikes!

 SUU football feild hahahahahaha!

 ummmmm yikes again!

 Macy was supposed to get her call on Thursday but it didnt come :( We drove down anyway in hopes she would get it on Friday. We checked all day on Friday with no luck until about 4!!!!

 Oh i am going to miss this

 Just missing Lindsay! I love them

 Oh my gosh my family is growing so fast. Look at those cuties. They are so big. And yes Blake was naughty. Terrible twos are rough

This picture could make me cry. I am going to miss her like crazy. Thankfully i have 5 more months with her
