Time Flies

I haven't been very great about posting lately, so I thought that I would post a few new pictures and things that we have been up to.

Dancing is finished for the year. We finished up with our Dance Review and Dance competition the end of April. They did so awesome... superiors in every single dance we competed. It was a fun year, but it is good to have a tiny break until summer lessons start.

Kaysha is doing great. She has two new teeth that she loves to bite with! She is getting cuter everyday, and it really is so fun to have a little girl! She loves Revin more than anyone, I just hope it lasts.

Revin is 3 now. He really is so so smart! He amazes me every day with the little things that he knows and I have no idea where he knows them from. He loves showing off that he can sing his ABCs, draw a picture of anyone, count in spanish, and that he knows all of his shape... even an oval... the sad thing is that I think he might learn it all from watching Nick Jr :) He is such a good big brother and so sweet to Kaysha.

We have been trying to work on the outside of our house lately. We got the rock done around the archway, put up new shutters, got our sod in, now we are waiting on a block wall that should be done in June and a little more rock work on the front, but we are so excited that it is all coming together! Other than that Dan is just super busy which is good and bad, and I am enjoying the summer with my kids and getting ready for summer dance classes :)

Easter

This Easter we went camping at Sand Hollow. It was so much fun! Dan took his boat so he could fish, and take the kids on boat rides. I spent my time enjoying the warm weather and shopping with my mom and sisters. Revin was completely entertained just playing in the sand with all of the cousins, and Kaysha was just nice as usual. I was so glad to be able to get out of the snow here in Cedar and enjoy the outdoors. We camped with Jamie and Joey's family in my Mom and Dad's trailer. It was really nice.

Good Times

I thought I better post about things other than potty training, which by the way is going very well now. Last weekend we took a trip to Richfield to visit Dan's grandparents and go to a farewell party for his cousin that is in the army. We had a fun little lunch at a roller skating rink. It was super fun (mostly for Dan) Revin refused to try to skate with us and instead just ran around while people were running him over with their skates. He is such a social little bug, I didn't even hardly see him the whole time because he was too busy making friends or begging people for pop. Kaysha was loved and tended by everyone around. I only skated for a little bit, but Dan was trying moves from back in the day like skating backwards and spinning to stop. I told him if he just slapped some sequins on himself that he could be on the US figure skating team! It reminded me of the days at Cedar's roller skating rink. I have so many fun memories there, I can't believe they shut it down.

Pretty sure you are "Anal Retentive"

Let me just let you all know that though Revin has been "pee trained" for almost 5 months, he has never pooped in the potty, not even once. It is so sad because he holds it in for days at a time because he knows how in troube he is if he poops in his pants. It is SUCH a process! Anyways one night his belly was hurting so bad and I knew he needed to go so we did a suppository that he just about thought ruined his life, and then he we sat with him until he had no choice but to go... Anyways sorry for too much info, but we have always promised him that if he would poop in the potty he would get to meet Mac (the deisel from cars). He would not give the idea up. As soon as he went he said "Lets go meet Mac"! So... my dad is really close friends with Mac apparently, and so he hooked Revin up with a little ride! It made his whole life! He loved it. Mac was super stuck from setting there all winter, but Revin said Grandpa woke him up. He got to steer and even honk Mac's loud horn. We totally thought that this would be the trick that would make him change his ways... but here we are four days later and no second attempt to poop AHHHHHH! What will we do? I guess another suppository!

Our Kaysha Baby

Kaysha is 4 months old now! Time has flown by so fast! She is such a sweet little girl. She is at 15% in her weight, 12% in her height, she is small but very proportianate! She LOVES her bottle, sleeps like an allstar from 8:30 to 7:30, and loves to goo and smile. I had someone ask me the other day if she was mobile yet and I just laughed because she hasn't even rolled over yet! She is such a content baby that she just lays on her back and looks around. She has been so much fun these past four months!

Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. It is getting more exciting as Revin gets older and knows who Santa is. He was so excited this year which made Dan and I probably even more excited than him. Santa brought him almost every Cars movie character there ever was and a cars race track. He just kept saying "Mom I love this!" Kaysha got a doll and, of course, some new clothes. 2009 brought some trials and a lot of blessings. I am so thankful to be in our new home and to have our baby Kaysha here and that our little family is happy and healthy. I am looking forward to a new year and I hope it brings great things for everyone!

My mom got my sisters and I twiner coats for Christmas. It made for a great photo opportunity!

Kaysha's Blessing

Kaysha was blessed on December 6th. She looked so darling in her cute little dress and Dan did such a great job. We ate lunch afterwards at the SUU Mountain Center that my dad takes care of. We love our families, they are so supportive. Everyone in my family was there except Adam who is on his mission... even Stacia and Taylor came from Vegas. It was a very special day! Kaysha is doing really great! I got her some medicine that helps her a bunch and she has been a whole new baby. She smiles and goos and is getting cuter every day. She has hazel eyes which I just love because her middle name is Hazel. She wouldn't smile for us in the pictures, but they still turned out pretty cute!
