Happy Easter and The Past 4 Months

I KNOW I KNOW........I've been HORRIBLE at this blogging stuff. 

We are alive and well. Time has flown by and we are definitely ready for summer. Jaylee just turned 10 months old and is getting so big and a BIG personality to. She is the joy in my life along w my sweet husband of course. Here are a FEW ok ALOT of pics to make up for the past 4 months of not posting. 

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A HAPPY EASTER!

MY LITTLE EASTER BUNNY!!!!

She loves looking out the window. 

Easter Sunday and her Easter Basket. She is a total poser. 

She recently learned how to share. Well see how long that lasts. 

FAMILY PICS W THE SANDERS FAMILY!

All the inlaws. 

MY BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD.. 

THE GIRLS: Marcae Rosenvall, Gina Fritzche, Kenz Boyce, Teresa Nielsen, Jalene Bastian, Me, and Debra Wing not pictured but was well missed. 

My girlfriends and I have been so good about getting together once a month or once every 2 months for a girls night out or a sleepover. We LOVE our sleepovers and can't get enough of each other. Jalene and I usually have to make the trip to SLC to see everyone but everyone FINALLY came down to see us and stayed at my house for the weekend. 

PEDICURES, FOOD, and TALKING ALL NIGHT LONG IS ALL WE NEEDED. 

I am so thankful for the friendship that we all have. I don't know what I would do w out these girls. We are so lucky to have each other. I love you girls. Thanks so much for coming down. 

Gotta love relaxing and getting pedicures. 

We somehow all wore matching clothes so of course it called for a photo shoot. I brought my tripod and set up shop. If only I could be a better photographer. Someday. 

This guy jumped in our pic. What a lucky man.. And we are all so pretty to. 

SUCH HOTTIES!!

MY LITTLE ANGEL. 

The past 4 months she has grown up so much. Just a few little updates.  

She loves sitting in front of the mirror and laughs at herself. 

After eating her first cookie ever. Those little puppy dogs eyes melt me. 

LOVES RIPPING TISSUE APART. 

I turned around for 10 sec. and she had made a huge mess. So cute though. 

Her new favorite cookies.. At 9 mo the Dr. said go ahead and give her the foods you eat. HA HA.. I'm such a chicken and freak out thinking she's gonna choke. BUT I've given her little things every day and realized she really can do it. 

COOKIES ARE HER FAVORITE. 

Being the good mom I am (I'd like to think that), I have totally taught her how to say her prayers, fold her arms and close her eyes. HA HA!! 

BATHING IN THE SINK????

I threw my back completely out. I was down for almost a month. I couldn't pick up Jaylee at all the first few weeks and then couldn't bend over. If I had to bathe her it had to be in the sink. She really quite liked it. 

She does this facial expression all the time. Squishes up her nose and blows really hard over and over. It keeps us laughing. 

BEING SICK!!! YUCK

She has been sick 3 times in the past 4 mo. NOT FUN.. She is such a little sweetheart though and you cant help but pamper her. She just wanted to lay down w her blanky and watch little einsteins and relax and thats what she got. 

AHHHHH!!!!! 

Shes learned to take her bows off and it drives me crazy!! Everyone warned me and yep, she does it too. 

The remote is her all time favorite toy along w wripping her bows off. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS.. a little late

JAYLEE'S FIRST TIME W SANTA AND MRS. CLAUSE!!

We went to a little shindig where Santa and Mrs. Clause read stories to the kids and they made snowmen w marshmellows and took pictures w Santa. They were perfect. 

Jaylee did great and didn't even cry. She LOVED santa.. We'll see how she does next year. 

HER FIRST TIME IN THE SNOW.

We went up to SLC for Christmas w Nolans family. Of course it was freezing and thats the one thing we don't miss about living up there.. We bundled Jaylee up and she quite liked the snow. 

Momma and Jaylee!

Daddy and Jaylee. 

CHRISTMAS DAY!

"Isn't anyone gonna help me over here"

This is Nixon, Jaylee's cousin. (Jennies little boy) They look like they could be twins. How crazy is that. 

Opening presents! The paper was the best part. 

Yummy! Pretty tasty

Our little family. 

We hope you all had a merry christmas and a happy new year. 

6 Month Appt..

We had Jaylee's 6 mo appt the other day and this is how we started the day... HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY, lots of energy and of course cute as can be. BUT that all ended after 4 LONG unexpected hours at the Dr's and then the hospital for a CAT SCAN.

GOOD NEWS: She weighs a big 14 lbs is 25 inches long but her head is 45 cm which is what wasn't good news. I always knew her head was a little bigger but I guess it's a problem now. Her soft spot isn't closing like it should either so he is concerned that there may be pressure on her brain (Possible Hydrochephalis) and if so she will need a shunt placed to relieve the pressure so that it doesn't cause any damage. Of course this wasn't the kind of news we wanted to hear but we are being positive and hoping everything will be ok. We got the x ray taken but now they want us to go see a specialist for further reviews and another opinion.

Waiting patiently for the Dr to come in. She was already getting tired and we had a few more hours to go. 

This is her Dr.   Dr. Clark. He is a great guy and I am really pleased w how well he takes care of Jaylee and also how personable he is. 

Look at her poor eyes. She's getting so sleepy. 

Now time for her shots. These nurses are the sweetest girls and they always feel bad they have to do this to her. I felt bad taking a picture cuz yes, I should be holding her hands but she is so dang cute afterward. She only cries for a sec and then wimpers w her bottom lip out saying... "OUCH THAT KINDA HURT MOM" 

Is this not the most sad face you've ever seen????

Getting ready for the cat scan. (I hope thats how you spell it). I was kinda mad at the guy taking it cuz he kept saying after smashing her head even more inbetween these pads w tape that  "I NEEDED TO MAKE HER HOLD MORE STILL" HELLO... she is 6 mo old like that is possible when she is in a giant machine and scared to death. I don't think he was to happy that I took a picture either. 

AND THIS IS HOW SHE FELT ABOUT THE WHOLE DAY!!!

(SO WHAT IF MY HEAD IS BIG..... I'M STILL SO DARN CUTE!)

I was laughing so hard when I downloaded this picture and realized she was flipping the bird. I was just wanting to get her droopy eyes and she wanted to show me how she really felt. She had missed 2 naps and was telling me "I've had enough mom, take me home so I can get some sleep already" 

She's starting the Starley hello already. Oh boy!!

(For those of you who don't know my family well, this is how everyone says hi. You get the bird, not a friendly wave.)

Mommy and Daddy's Girl!

Me and my little girl. Isn't she the cutest little thing ever. Already 5 1/2 mo old. Where does the time go??? I have been so bad about posting so here are a few updates of Jaylee. We are loving every min w her. She is so much fun now and getting such a little personality. 

I walked into the room and this is what I saw. Nolan being the great daddy he is, playing w jaylee. He said he wanted to see what all the excitement was so he joined her under the play gym. I think he liked it more than jaylee. 

Always giving her shoulder rides. I'm not to sure about it but I guess you gotta trust em right. She does for some reason. 

UMMMMM  these toes are soooo TASTY.. Her favorite thing now is to hold on to her feet and put them in her mouth. SO FLEXIBLE.. If she takes after her mom, that wont last long. 

Her morning cartoons in the bumboo. She just stares at the TV. She doesn't get much TV time so she takes advantage when she gets it. EXCEPT, nolan thinks she LOVES football and thinks football needs to be on constantly for her. HMMM, I dont think so. 

AGAIN...... just enjoying her feet. So content. 

Halloween 2008

Jaylee's first halloween.. OUR LITTLE BUMBLE BEE.. 4 1/2 mo old. 

This year for Halloween we went over to Shane and Jodi's (My brothers house) in Hurricane to go trick or treating w Brock and Brex. Jaylee lasted about an hour and then was out cold in her stroller. Brock and Brex had a blast though. 

Why this picture is upsidedown, I don't know and I can't fix it but I think its the cutest picture of her and of course her little hands are together. 

Yes people, I had a hair crisis. I went completely dark about a month ago and hated it so i'm slowly going back. Thanks to my brother Shane telling me I looked terrible w dark hair and 4o yrs old, I tried to go back blonde a little to soon and my hair feels so fried. So, I'm stuck being dirty blonde for awhile. BROTHERS..... 

Gotta love the family photo shoot. 

Nolan just loving his little girl. 

Slowly falling over. 

These are my little nephews Brock and Brex and my sister in law Jodi. She was a good sport and dressed up. I think Marcae and I dressed up one to many times even when it wasn't Halloween so I wasn't up to it this year. 

My brother Shane and his boys. 

This is a Mask that makes Brock and Brex cry and FREAK OUT.. Shane told me to get the camera ready and get Brocks reaction. SO......... Here it is... 

Poor Kid.. he about wet his pants he was so scared. 

Shane trying to apologize. Brock wasn't up to talking right then. He was a little upset w his Daddy. 

Happy Halloween Right!!!
