Bailey lost her first tooth!

Bailey's tooth has been loose for weeks, her adult tooth is already erupting behind it. Last night was the night it was time to come out! It was a hard, LOUD night. She wanted it out because it was so loose it hurt! On the other hand she didn’t want anyone to touch it! First Darcy gave her a twizzler, and told her to wiggle it with that. No progress.... duh! and then Tallon said let me see and jammed the twizzler against the tooth, that sure made Bailey cry! Darcy then asked to "look" at it. Sweet trusting Bailey let her. Darcy pushed the tooth hard toward Bailey's tongue. It started Bleeding, and that scared Bailey. So with my quick judgment, I decided to hurry and finish the job by twisting it out. Might as well if she’s already crying right? and Crying is an understatement if anyone knows Bailey she goes ballistic! Weather she’s getting her stitches out or getting her hang nail clipped, she’s a nut ball! Tears quickly turned to joy of course, that’s a big moment first tooth! and now she’s eating pain free!

Wow! It's almost June

I cant believe how fast life goes by, It seems I'm so busy from the minute I wake up, till my head hits the pillow at night. I am working full time, Mon-Thurs that is. When I get home at 5, all the house and mommy things still need to get done.When I finally have a minute its 10pm and I'm exhausted! Skylar is still working part time with ups, Mon-Fri 4-8am. He has been at it for two years now, waiting for them to hire more drivers. He also works for Davita 3 times a week. He stays busy in his free time, finishing our basement (which is almost done being sheet rocked woo hoo!) and helping his mom, family, and friends, with anything and everything! He is such a hard worker! I am glad he gets to watch the girls two days a week, while I am at work. He has become such a patient loving daddy. Skylar and I started teaching primary last month its been fun, but now it makes us have to attend church every week... I did it, I prayed one night that I could find someway to help Skylar and I become more active for Baileys sake. (Its all to easy for us to say, "Lets just go for a ride up the canyon, or Lets just sleep in.") wallah! that very next week, we get a call asking us to sub and then they ask us to make it permanent..... prayer answered!

I have been thinking of going back to school, but I am on the fence with this idea. I am so busy, I would feel terrible leaving my kids another second of the week. I do have a lot of free time on my lunch breaks, which sadly are getting longer and longer! So I think I could take a few online courses during that time. I don't know what I'll do yet, just pray and hope I make the best decision. It would help a lot if I wasn't such a busy bee at home. I CANNOT sit still for the life of me! I am usually organizing, cleaning or working on some project. Recently I did Kinley's big girl room......

I painted my old daybed hot pink, modpodged some paper on a magnet board and glued some flowers to a plain lamp shade. She loves her big girl bed! We thought, because of her stubborn personality, we would have a hard time getting her to listen, and stay in bed. Much to our surprise she is an angel at bedtime she gets in bed and stays there all night. Even if she has a hard time going to sleep, I'll hear her talking or singing to herself to pass the time. She thinks she is 5 & She talks a lot for her age. I mean full paragraphs, She told me the other day "Mom, Jayden pushed me down and it really hurt my feelings, Aurora and Ava push me too mom, I say no no, be nice to me, your not my friend!" no joke this is how my daughter talks big long sentences. what she really meant to say was " Mom I decided my friends were not paying enough attention to me, so I took away their toys and hit them. and then they hit me back so now I'm mad!" Of coarse we could all understand her a little better, if she would get that Binky out of her mouth! I do have to say at least she followed Baileys footsteps and potty trained by 26months its so nice!

I just got back from Bailey's kindergarten program this morning, and I was crying like a baby she is so big now!I took her out a few months ago, and told her I was going to take her training wheels off, and teach her to ride her bike. She was excited, so I took them off and when I looked up, she riding her bike like a pro! I didn't even have to teach her. I am happy that she finds much joy in this new found skill. She rides her bike as often as we let her, in fact a few Saturdays ago, she and her friend Lauren played all day on their bikes. I literally had to drag her in the house at 8pm saying its time to be home!
Bailey loves art she can sit down and create the most amazing things! She found a page that teaches you step by step how to make a flower, or a puppy, so she taught herself. Now without looking at anything, she can draw the coolest dogs. Way better then mine ever wished to be! She also is a bit of a clean freak, whats wrong with us?! I tell bailey she needs to stop being like mommy with her cleaning, or organizing, and be a kid! play with her barbies, make a mess, have fun! so last night she dumps out all her animals, and says she will play with them in her doll house. GREAT, have fun! then later I go upstairs and all her animals are in her doll house, but they are all organized! The giraffes are in the bathroom, the puppies huddled in the bedroom, the cats and mice on the deck, monkeys in the kitchen, and so on! Poor thing. I guess I need to set a better example of having fun too.

So we have had a lot happen in a 3month period. My mom decided to divorce my step dad, and remarry my real dad. Total Jerry springer! I didn't think It would be a hard adjustment for me, I mean I am adult with my own family and kids. Plus what little girl doesn't wish with all her heart that her parents would remarry? It was hard though. I love bob, hes always been their for me, and my kids. He might be quiet, and keep his distance. But he was at all my dance concerts, he drove me and my friends anywhere we wanted to go, and he never complained with anything my mom bought us. I also felt really bad for Bailey, she is really close to Bob. He lets her do his hair, or jumps on the tramp with her. whatever she wants, he does! I think its OK now. He ended up moving out by us, and the girls still see him. I get to see my dad more, and he gets to be a grandpa that our kids see on a normal basis. My dad is great, hes very nice, and respectful to me. Its been nice to have him around more.

Holidays

This Halloween Kinley was a cat. She was so in love with this costume. Bailey was Ariel her favorite princess.


My Tucker boy and Kinley girl! They are now becoming little buddies. Kinley thinks she is the care giver, when Tucker is crawling around she kindly puts a blanket on his back making him plant it on his tummy, and then she pats his back pretty hard and says shh! shh! while he is squirming with all his might to get away!

I know im partial to my own kids but I mean really look at them!

Kinley with Grandma Carol, she ran to the nearest person she knew once she saw who came through that door, SANTA! I don't blame her though, I mean who really wants some old, hairy man telling you to sit on his lap?

The three amigos, Kaitlin, Oakley, and of coarse my BEAUTIFUL Bailey bum cheeks!

Just a glimpse of how smart Kinley is getting!

Our busy summer in a nut shell

Bailey Turned 5! We had all her Cousins and a few friends over to swim

Bailey and Grandma Carol

Kinley with Cousin Tristan (He loves her!)

Grandma Carol Has a party for all the grand kids every year. You might remember the Pirate themed party last year. This year was cowboys and cowgirls. It was really fun they started off with a hour long horse ride up around the temple and around the neighborhood. Then we went to Carols backyard which was decorated all western complete with a Saloon where Aaron Pope was the bar tender they could sit at the bar and eat peanuts and pay $1 for drinks. And there was a horse auction, Darren was the Auctioneer, he started the bids off. I think Bailey got her horse home made by Carol herself for around $400.00 and Kinley got hers for about the same. I know the kids will have great memories of Carols parties.

Tucker Boy!
Funny story... I wasn't present, I was in the house doing dishes but Bailey I guess was running and she ran right into this sign and the whole thing fell over making a big loud crash. Bailey looked around with the "Oh shoot, what have a done face" and in a panic she picked up one of the wanted signs and held it up to her face and smiled. Everyone said it was so funny I wish I would have saw it.

Kinley's new hiding place. She thinks she is funny, She is!

Home sweet home!

Skylar and I finaly were able to buy a house! thank goodness now all my crap is in one place which im sure Skylar's grandma and my mom are very happy to get out of thier houses.
