Drive-In

Sean and I love to go to the movies but with two kids its hard to find the time to get out alone. So a couple weeks ago we decided that we would go to the Drive in and just take the kids with us. So we piled pillows and blankets in the back of the jeep and took off. They were showing "Up" and "Night at the Museum 2". Olivia fell asleep before the movies started and Jaidyn sat really well through "Up" then fell asleep and Sean and I enjoyed the second movie alone. We had a great time!

Father kid campout

A couple of weeks ago Sean had the opportunity to take Jaidyn camping on our ward's father kid camp out. Jaidyn had never been camping before so I tried to explain what camping was to her and the only thing I could think of to tell her that she would get to sleep outside. She didn't seem too excited about that but since her best friend Caitlin was going with her dad, she was pretty excited. Both Sean and Jaidyn had a great and Jaidyn loved that she got to play all day with Caitlin and sleep in the same tent as her.

Olivia 9 months old

It has been about a month since Olivia had her 9 month check up. She weighed 15lbs 8 oz (3 percentile) her height was 28 1/2 inches long (75th percentile). Because she is so low on the scale for her weight, our dr. recomended that we feed her high calorie food. Unfortunatly because of her protien allergey the selection of high calorie food is pretty slim so that will be our next challage with her.

Jaidyn's 3rd Birthday

Jaidyn turned 3 on April 7th. We had a great birthday party at her grandparents house. We planned to have the party when her Uncle Mike and Uncle Kyle were in town. It was really nice to have them there.Jaidyn, her best friend Caitlyn and her cousin Justin

My first atempt at making a fancy birthday cake. I think it turned out pretty good!

Funny Jaidyn

Jaidyn cracks me up sometimes! I really need to write some of the stuff down when she says it because I always forget but here are a few things she has said recently.

I bring Olivia down stairs after her nap...

Jaidyn says, "Olivia, you're getting so big!"

The other day I vacuumed down stair while Jaidyn was napping. When she wakes up she says,

"mommy, did you vacuum?

"Yes, I did!"

"Oh, thank you for vacuuming mommy!"

We are trying to potty train Jaidyn. Most of the time she does really well but the other day she had a little accident. She had gone upstairs to her room to get something and she come down waddling with her pant legs pulled up.

"Jaidyn, did you wet your pants?"

"yeah, I'm so dead!"

I couldn't even be mad, I was laughing so hard!

First time snowboarding with Sean

Sean has been wanting me to go snowboarding with him ever since we got married but it just never worked out. We finally got a chance to go up to Stevens and we took Sean's sister Chalyce with us. It was her first time and my first time in about 7 years, so basically my first time too. We had a blast but woke up very soar the next morning.

Just taking a break! This is where I spent most of my time!

Yes, I needed a little assistance.

Ahh...a refreshing dew after a long afternoon of snowboarding!

Better Late than never! Olivia 6 months

I know this is two months late but at least it here! Olivia had her 6 month check up back in February. She was 13lbs. 8oz. and 25 inches long. Which puts her in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. She is tall and skinny, just like her older sister, but nother like her mother or father!
