Good-bye for awhile...

Brady, Jaylee and I are moving to our new home here in Arizona today and so until we get settled and organized and all that jazz, it might be awhile until we get internet and cable. So for now I'm saying goodbye but when we do get it I'll make sure to catch everyone up with what's been going on in our lives!! And when I go to visit my siblings I'll make sure to take pictures and post on here until I get things set up!!
So TATA for now!!!

Jaylee's first OUCH!!

So Jaylee took her first stubble walking (really I should say running) the other day. We had met up with my brother and sister and their kids since they were all over on this side of the mountain. Well we decided to take the kids to the park so they could run and play. Well the park was on a slight hill and Jaylee is into this running thing lately. So she gets going and is headed downhill and wipes out!! Her front teeth that are coming in, bled for a moment but there is no lasting mark there!! But here poor nose has quite the OUCH mark!!! My mom said she could be the poster child for orphaned children!!!This is the first morning morning after!!

And the 2 below are a couple of days later!!

3 Little Girls...

While we were in Utah we were able to get a new picture of the little girls!! It's crazy to see how much they have grown and how different from each other they are!! Harper and Tenley are 19 months and Jaylee is almost 18 months. It's a lot harder to get them to sit still and cooperate now then when they were just babies!!

Harper, Tenley and Jaylee

Hudson had been playing with the girls through the window, and when she took off, all 3 girls were looking for her. The picture below is one of my favorites. And look you can see Hudson running off on the right side.

I love how Harper reminds the other girls that she's the oldest and the boss!!

Trip to Utah-it's LONG!!

Last week, we took a little trip to Utah. Brady had flown down for this job interview and left our other car and some other things, and didn't even get to say goodbye to his family. So we decided that before the store opened, we'd take a few days and go up there. We ended up staying for longer then we had planned when Brady found out that he had a few extra days off. Jaylee loved being at the airport. She walked up and down the terminal for 2 1/2 hours. Only stopping a few times to get water or to throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the walkway. She was so excited to be free!! She really did good on the plane as well. We gave her some milk on the take-off and landing and she did great!! There was only one set of tears that only lasted for a moment because she couldn't have something and then the flight attendant blew some bubbles for her so she was once again happy!!

Thursday and Friday we mostly ran some errands and got some things done that we had to take care of and finish up in Utah. But on Saturday, we were able to go to our nephew Pacey's Birthday Party Carnival and see all of the cousins. Marlee and JBJ are so creative and think of everything!! It was fun to just sit back and watch all the kids have a great time and to watch how Jaylee would just light up to see someone her size. Tenley is much more adventurous then Jaylee, but Jaylee just loved following her around. When Tenley got in the pool, I'm glad Jaylee wasn't there to join her for that one though!! I Love the way Tenley and Jaylee are sizing each other up in this picture!!

The favorite part had to be the pie throwing stand!! I was surprised by how many of the kids wanted to be the one that had the pie thrown in the face!! What great sports they are!!KadenBirthday Boy-PaceyLaneyAnd Marlee getting JBJ

This is Jaylee stealing cake from one of the kids that didn't finish all of theirs. Like she didn't get enough or something!! I would hate to see if I let her have junk often how she would be!!

In Jaylee's little bag, were some bracelets and oh my was she so excited!! She played with them for so long and then threw a fit when we picked her up to leave!! She just loved them!!

After the party, Brady and I went to his Grandma's grave. It's been over a year now since she died and we hadn't been back since the funeral. I know it's not where she is but it is a resting place for her body, and maybe I'm weird but I think there's a reverence there and a high respect level at commentaries. Maybe it's because of my brothers that I feel this way, but I like to go and be there. Weird I know!! Jaylee was so funny, she kept picking the grass off her her headstone. It brought back so many wonderful memories of a wonderful lady!! A few other pictures from our trip...
Jaylee and Jolene

This is where Jaylee would end up in the morning. She would just sleep on the mattress on the floor but most nights would end up off of it.
Jaylee and Harper kept giving each other kisses!! It was so cute!!

Jaylee still following around Tenley!! She just loves people her size!!

Jaylee really thinks she's hot stuff now that she can walk!! And let me tell you she loves her FREEDOM!!

Jaylee with the Garn twins!! Adley is the blonde and Brecklyn is the darker hair one!!

This was the only way we could get these 3 in a picture together!! They are crazy!!

Saying goodbye to Nanny and Poppa was a tough day!! We loved spending time with them and seeing everyone in Utah!! Thanks so much for everything Mike and Shirley!! We Love you guys and we'll see you again soon!!!

Things don't always come across like you want them to...

I've been informed that one of my post caused a few hurt feelings, and I want those people to understand that I didn't mean anything by it. I was merely trying to say thank you to those people that helped us move, not point fingers or make anyone feel bad. I truly am sorry to all of you!! I guess the biggest thing that I need to remember is that words in writing don't come across like I would say them out loud. Again I'm sorry and I will watch this in the future!!

Our double-fisted coloring girl...

Jaylee has become quit the little colorer!! She will sit at her little "desk" and get crayons in both hands and go to town with them!! She's starting to eat them less and less but still needs reminders every now and then. And even though she mostly uses her right hand, she'll get her left in there every now and then and let it help out!! I'd like to say she's getting better at staying in the lines, but really we're just happy if she stays on the paper!!

She sure does have fun though!!

Daddy joins the move!!!

Well after only 4 days of being apart, Brady was able to join us down here in Arizona. He came down for a job interview, and has stayed since he got the job and has now started work!! We are so glad that it was only a few days!! It's been so nice not having to be apart!! It's already proved to be a trial for us but we know it's what is right for our family!! We're just learning a lot from this whole move!!

Jaylee waiting on the LOVE-SAC for Daddy to arrive!!(I made this outfit and hairbow set also)

He's Here!!

And Grammy and Papa too!!
