We have had a fun couple of days being outside playing in the sun!! This morning we went to the park, played for awhile. I think the park is my new found friend...Nyah loves it, she can run, jump, shout and play with the other little kids and the best part its FREE!!!! So this summer has started and we are going to try to go to everypark in good ol' SGC. This is a clip of her and daddy playing ball this morning.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday to our Nyah Grace! We hope you had a wonderful day....

When Nyah woke up we had her balloons and presents waiting and the first thing she saw was the balloons. After we opened presents we made breakfast, we had breakfast burritos and then Nyah helped me make her cake. We spent the afternoon at jumping jacks. This evening we spent it with our family having pizza and cake.

The past 2 years have gone by fast....to say the least. It seems like yesterday you were learning to crawl, talk and walk. We love to watch you learn and grow.

We love you sense of humor...

We love to see you smile...

I love to hear you say "momma, get me a sippy...while daddy is changing your bum!"

We love how you mock everything we say.

We love how you ask if we are hurt, if we say ouch.

We love to drive in the car with you as you are dancing in your carseat with your sunglasses on.

We love to hear you sweet little voice call our names when you wake up from your nap.

We love how you kiss your sister and say "la you Anastyn"

We love to play hide and seak with you...Nyah are you???

We love everything about you and we are so proud to say you are OUR daughter.

There hasn't been a day go by that you haven't made us smile.

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Love,

Daddy, Mommy and Anastyn

Sugarland

Well there has been many things I have wanted to post since my last post...I haven't had much free time. But I wanted to share the fun weekend Justin and I had! We drove to SLC on Friday to see Sugarland, just the 2 of us. I think we both were dreading the drive...it went really fast. We talked the whole time about about anything and everything, enjoying each others company. Once we got up north we stopped by the mall and went shopping, which is one of my all time favorite things to do. We wondered the mall for a couple of hours and then headed to our hotel room to get ready for the concert.

We went to dinner prior and then headed to the E center for the concert. We both loved the concert, our seats were 4th row floor! They were amazing!!! We danced the whole time! A few pictures from our adventure....

Thank you honey for the wonderful weekend and yes after 5 years I love you and ALWAYS will.

"Nastics"

Well we have decided to keep Nyah in gymnastics. She has so much fun and it has been good for her to interact with the other children. Today she made a new friend her name is Makya and she is 2. She kept calling Nyah her friend and they sat next to each other and would chat about who knows what. It was adorable!! It has been so fun to watch Nyah's progress, she can now do a straddle, pike and tuck, bear crawl, summersalt and best of all she can wait her turn!

Growing fast!!

Well since I blogged last we have been busy...Anastyn had her check up and she growing up so fast, literally!!

December 4th (when she was born)- she was 7lbs and 19 in.

February 11th- 12lbs and 24 in.

During this appointment we spoke with the Dr. about Anastyn's horrible stomach aches. I know about the whole colic stage etc...so we kept thinking that she would soon grow out of the crying. At this appt. the Dr. prescribed us Hyosen drops for her, it is a MIRACLE.
She is a completely different baby, she coos and smiles, she is easily consoled when she is crying. No more stomach aches its wonderful.

As for our Nyah she is a energizer bunny! She is loving tumbling class. When we pull into the parking lot of Barefoot, she starts to shout "nastics, nastics" (translation-gymnastics) We are still working on waiting our turn and sharing. She is getting a little better. We are still working on potty training. The past few days during nap time I have found her naked as a jay bird with a huge wet spot on the sheets. So I have started to change her into a onesie before bed, we'll see how long it takes for her to out smart me! I think she is in the stage of taking her clothes off, this morning I was cleaning and I opened the back door so that she could play outside with dogs. I looked out the window of our living room to find her standing in the back yard with her shoes and pants on. Her coat was laying in the grass, which Sammi was using as a bed and her shirt on the table...Oh our Nyah Grace!

Tumbling Class

Today Nyah and I started a Mom and Tot tumbling class. WE loved it!!! The 1st activity was to step on the end of the board and try to flip the animal on the other side toward you &try to catch it. The little girl next to us would do it Nyah would crack up laughing. The next activity was to sit in a circle and stretch and sing songs. Then we ran in circles around cones, walked backward, tried to jump etc... Then we did the obstacle course and she loved the tunnel and the bar, where they tried to pull themselves up and bring their legs up. She caught on really quick. Our last activity was to jump over colored logs on a huge trampoline and to walk on the balance beam. For her 1st time she did GREAT and I think this is going to be a great experience for the 2 of us. She got a little impatient towards the end and didn't want to wait her turn on the trampoline. The instructer was great in trying to help me teach her the importance of waiting her turn and being polite. We can't wait to go next week!!

This picture is the stamps Ny got at the end of class for being a good girl.

She was very proud of them when Kindra came over to visit that was the 1st thing she showed her

Ri-Dizzle

Happy Birthday SIS!!!! Today is Rilee's 18th birthday. I know that she has been waiting anxiously for this day to arrive. Last night we threw a surprise party for her at our house. We hangout, played a few games and ate cake & ice cream. Nyah absolutely loved having everyone at our house. Who ever was having the most fun and laughing the loudest Nyah was right there with them.

Today we celebrated by going out to breakfast and then we headed up to Cedar City to go sledding. Which was a lot of fun, it was pretty warm and best of all it was sunny and couldn't see a cloud for miles. We bundled Anastyn up and put her in her car seat and sat her there where we were sledding( Tia I got another compliment on the car seat cover and the lady asked where she could get one ;0).

things I love about Dizzle

I can't say I loved this but I thought it was funny- when you were younger and could fart on command!

Butt clap/P90X

I love that you have such a big heart

your willing to help anyone

your a good listener

your quick to forgive

the best aunt our girls could ask for and I would be proud if my girls grew up to be like you

your not willing to settle for anything or anyone

I admire that at your age you strive to do your best whether it is school, church or work(oh wait you don't have a job)

you have drove around with your jockey box open

I love how crazy you are about your argyle sweaters

I love to watch you sizzle like bacon and do the salt shaker.

I love that when we would be driving in the car and Jesus, Take the Wheel would come on and you would sing like you were the only one in the car.

I love to watch you entertain Nyah, you'll do anything to make her laugh

I love to hangout with you, its usually not a dull moment...

Most of all I am grateful to have you in my life and that I can say that you are my sister and no matter what I say I will miss you when your away to school.

Everyday moments I never want to forget...

Needless to say the past few weeks have been very busy with the girls and I will soon be going back to work, which is bitter sweet. I have been catching up on little projects around the house and spending time with the girls

The past few weeks I have realized that there are so many things that Nyah does that I hope I never forget... For only 20 months old she is very funny and full of personality! I am so proud to say she is my daughter.

Her laugh makes my heart melt...which makes it hard to discipline her, I tell her "NO" and she laughs which makes me laugh and discipline is out the window.

She can see a balloon from a mile away and is ecstatic.

She loves her little sister, always kissing her and telling her "lado" (translation= love you)

When she starts to cry Nyah is so willing to try and help calm her down by:

Telling her "Annstyn don't cry" (she leaves out the other A in Anastyn)

Or she tries to stick her binkie in her mouth or pat her on the head.

She says please and thank you a majority of the time.

She can sign more then 30 words, thanks to Baby Signing Time.

And I can't even begin to count ALL the words she can say! The past few weeks she has said some very funny things...

Told great grandpa he was CRAZY.

Asked for a COKE the other day while we were driving in the car.

Anastyn was sound asleep on the way to a friends house and Nyah kept repeating "Anastyn" after a minute or so Anastyn began to cry and Nyah's reply was " Uh oh, Momma!"

When we ask Nyah a question most of the time she replies with the most innocent "No" I have ever heard!

As for our little Anastyn Marie, our little fuzz head. Being in our lives for such a short time has brought so much joy to our family.

She has hair but it is so blond it is hard to see.

She has the cutest little smile and has begun to coo

She's not to sure whether or not she likes her swing.

She prefers to sleep on the couch or to be held.

She doesn't like to be burped

Loves to take a bath but, doesn't like to be dried off or dressed

Our Angels bring so much joy to our life
