Ready....Steady.....UP, UP, UP!!!

Shaylie is so much fun! I absolutely LOVE this age. So many milestones for her. Last week she said MAMA!!! WAHOO!!! She has also decided that she no longer likes to sit still. She is a mover and a shaker. Well the other day she decided that she wanted to attempt to go from sitting on her bum to her tummy. Well after several failed attempts, she mastered it without diving onto her face. Well after a day, she was not impressed with that and wanted more. So in her attempt to make it up on her knees, she went for it all...

READY........................

STEADY.....................

UP, UP, UP!!!!!!!

I call this the push up. It is so funny. I love it. She is so close to crawling. Only a couple days or so and she will be off.

*Just as I clicked Publish Post, I turned to see my little Shaylie army crawling into the office.... So many a couple hours or so.... :)

Easter

I know, I am behind once again, but I was going to wait to post about Easter until I got a picture of my girls in their dresses together, but since that might not happen for a while I will just get on it and start my post. They have worn their dresses a couple of time now to church, but I get them ready and run out the door to church and then they are so tired when we get home there is no way we are going to take pictures. Anyway, we had a WONDERFUL easter. We enjoyed the whole weekend and definitely packed as much in as we could. Saturday, Chris took Mylie to Krispy Kreme before conference started to get some yummy donuts.

In between sessions, we were invited to go to my sister in laws and have an easter egg hunt. It was amazing!!! There were oodles of eggs and the kids had so much fun! Mylie totally understood this year what she was supposed to do and got her hands on as many as she could.











Sunday morning, we went to Karlie and Dave's for a yummy Easter Breakfast. We had all the family there that lives in town. Brian and Mary were headed to Texas that day and so they were only able to come for a little while and then they took off. Every time Mylie is around her Aunt Kailee, she has to get her nails painted. Lucky for us, Kailee is always prepared with multiple colors in her purse for Mylie to choose from.

Sunday afternoon we had a neighborhood egg hunt. Mylie was a pro from the day before and was not messing around with gathering her eggs. :) We have such a fun neighborhood and Mylie loves her friends. Shay was not in attendance here, she was sleeping.Etta and Mylie

The Whole Gang

After all this commotion, Mylie finally found her basket from the Easter Bunny. After we headed to watch the final session of conference with the Mann Fam. Mylie sat in front of Grammy's computer and watched her new movies. After conference, we colored eggs and My's was in heaven. She was having so much fun. It was such a wonderful weekend and it was even better that conference was on and was a great reminder for the true meaning of Easter.

with all the birthday celebrations and everything, I have neglected a mucho importante post. my sweet lovable mylie turned 2 1/2!!! AAAHHH! i almost can't believe it! i don't know how this could have slipped my mind, because her half birthday is on my actual birthday...ooooppppsss! well a little about mylie. she is sure a smarty pants. she knows all her ABC's and knows what sound each one makes. i can't believe the things that she comes up with. she talks so well. in fact she talks about all day long. people don't get to hear it because she gets embarrassed and starts talking baby talk. she loves her little sister. she always wants to hold her and give her loves. she LOVES nursery. she loves playing with her friends. she is soooooooooooo independent now. she says her own prayers now and they are short and sweet. she still has an awesome mullet....please go away soon. she has a cute little lisp...love it. she is all girl...and loves her nails painted, jewelry, and pretty shoes. we love mylie so much. she is such a sweetheart!

She wanted to put her own Lotion on...

She fell over on her chair watching TV and her fishies went EVERYWHERE!

Good thing she has her rail...

i love to see the temple

Last night we decided to take the girls to the temple to walk around for family night. we wanted to take some pictures and have a little picnic, but it was too darn cold. we listened to the song i love to see the temple all the way there and back. it was so much fun. i love hearing mylie sing primary songs and start to understand more about the gospel. she said that she wanted to go to the temple because heavenly father and jesus live there. :) i love her. oh and i can't forget, she said that gabba gabba was meeting us there too. :)

28 & 8 Months.......

well today my sweet husband turned 28 and my baby turned 8 months. i can't believe it. chris and i are getting closer and closer to 30!!!! AAAAHHHH that scares me a little. we had a whole fun weekend that didn't stop. friday, i took the girls to his work to have lunch with him. i had been planing to take in lunch for a while but it turned out to be the sales lunch and i just joined them. thanks fishbowl!!! then i had nancy, corey and skyler come and bring his actual gift... some of you may know that i love to give random gifts, and this year was no different....i got chris (and bryan) a mini fridge for their office. he/they were super excited. so the boys carried it up and nancy and the boys bought the food to stock it. it was fun.

that night after chris got home, our friends called and asked us to go stay at a cabin with them for the night. we jumped in the car and headed out. it was up above sundance and was BEAUTIFUL!!! right out the balcony was the sundance ski slopes and we watch the skiers forever. it gave me a new desire to get back on the old board...or skies again. someday!!! we had a lot of fun with our friends. Thanks again!!

saturday was his actual birthday and we got up, had a yummy pancake breakfast, took the kids out sledding, and headed for home. we lounged for a lot of the day and then dropped the kids off and went to P.F. Changs for dinner. then i made some snacks and we headed for the clubhouse and watch the BYU game. GO COUGARS!!! it was a great effort!



now for my baby baby..... oooooohhhhhh how i love to squeeze this little girl. she is sooooo beautiful! shay is now turning into a little girl. not so much a baby anymore. she is a little love. she has not stopped smiling since the day she was born. she is now rolling over both ways. she can't get enough baby food, she started on stage 2 but loves the stage 3. she is growing so big and already wearing a lot of 12 month clothes and some 12 - 18 month. she still only has 2 teeth. she is still nursing very well. she does not like sippy cups, bottles, or straws. she loves to hear music. she gets so excited to see her sister. when we go in to get her up in the morning she is all smiles for me and all squeals for mylie. she still naps 3 times a day. she is starting to sleep from 9 to 7 without waking up. she has started to dive for things. when she is in sitting position, she bends her knees and dives for what she wants. she loves her toothbrush. and don't ever take the remote away from her. she loves to snack. she loves to clap when anyone says yeah. she can still sleep anywhere. we love our sweet shaylie babes.
