One down millions more to go...

Well today, Jaylee decided to be a BIG girl and use her potty. I think it might have thrown her off a little because most of it was all over the floor like it scared her and she jumped off.

Jaylee admiring her work!! I think when I first said something about her going in her potty, she was a little scared like she did something wrong but when I pulled out the candy she was all smiles and finally relaxed about what she had done. And that's when she finally was excited about what she had done!!

She's such a big girl!!

Look what Jaylee got...

So last night, after Jaylee wanting to use the big potty and going in it once, we finally got her very own potty. She picked it out and LOVES it. It's all she wants to do is sit on it. Don't tell Brady that I put this picture on here, he'd be a little upset with me!! You can't see anything and it's just cute!!
Below: Jaylee was wearing the bucket part on her head while I was putting it together last night!! She kept calling it a hat and Brady and I couldn't stop laughing!!

Thank you Jason!!

So a few days ago, our computer crashed!! Well we called our brother-in-law, Jason and within 2 days, we had the new part and he had it all fixed!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Now we have an even better computer, faster, more memory!! It's GREAT!!

Happy Birthday Nikki!!

So yesterday was our niece, Nikki's birthday and she had a supper fun 8th Birthday party at the Casino Bowling Alley. Jaylee and the rest of the kids had a blast.

They had good food too!!

And the Dad's set up the Laptop headquarters for a little between bowling frames activity

By the end of the party, J was ready for a nap.

The Birthday Girl

And the cupcakes
It was a fun party!!
Thanks Jason and Steph and Nikki for inviting us!!
Happy Birthday Nikki!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

So for Valentine's Day, we decided to get each other a few things that we REALLY want or love. So for Brady, he got the GameDay Audio so he can listen to all of the Cubs games. He LOVES and REALLY WANTED it!!

Then there's me-so no joke I love this stupid little Globe from Leap Frog. I have wanted it for years but it's $100 dollars. But we found one at Kohl's on clearance and then they were doing an addition 25% off of that and then my discount. So it was way cheap!! And let me tell you it's so fun!! Brady plays it, the nieces and nephews love it too!!

And then there's Jaylee- well she kind of got the short end of the stick. But really since it's a lover's day, not really. She is really into lip gloss right now, so we got her this cool 8 pack of all different flavors of lip gloss. She seriously will put it on every 10 sec. if she has complete control of it. But really the chin, cheeks, and anything else close to the lips gets it too!! It's so cute to watch how grown up she thinks she is!!

We're back from the Dark Ages!!

Brady and I finally got Internet at our home again!! So we are now out of the Dark Ages!! It's been crazy the last few months!! We are supper excited and when the guy came and got us set up yesterday, we were fighting over who got to use it first!! It was pretty funny!!

Anyways, the snow picture at the top was taken a few days ago. I had been talking to my friend, Melissa, about how the only snow we've had here was maybe a covering and it was gone in like an hour. Well that night it started snowing and it was a blizzard!! No joke!! I guess I spoke to soon!! This is what we woke up to the next morning!! There's not a ton, but a lot for Arizona. They cancelled all the schools here and Brady and I just laughed!! Jaylee loved walking around in the snow and leaving her footprints everywhere!! It was cute to watch her!!

Playing in the Snow

So on Saturday the 17th, we joined my brother and sister and their families for a day at the snow. We drove up towards Payson to find some snow!! It took about an hour, and it makes me laugh that we had to drive to find snow. The hill is perfect for sledding and tubing!! We had a great day and even though the weather was warm, we were ready for anything!!

We knew J-bug would have a hard time getting up in the snow if she fell-she couldn't even do it on the floor at home.

But Daddy came to the rescue!!

The niece going down head first is an animal!! For every one trip that the other kids would make, she made like ten!!

Yes even I got hurt!! I did like a back-flip off the tube when Brian and I went down and got the wind knocked out of me!! And my dear husband had to take a picture!!

Nikki was first to get hurt!! She's showing off her battle-wound above!!

Lizzi and Jay were the only 2 kids to not get hurt!!

These are the 2 I wanted to go down with just so they could carry my tube back up for me but that didn't happen much!!

Uncle Jason and Lizzi-Jason only went down a couple of times. He did most of the video taping the whole day, except when he went hiking for awhile!!

Brian didn't want to show his battle-wound. His gave him a black eye even!!

And finally Jaylee was let go on her own. It took me awhile but I finally let her try it on just a little hill. She LOVED it!!

Aunt Steph and Jaylee went for a slide!!

Daddy and Jaylee going for a ride!!

And Mommy and Jaylee going really fast down the big hill!!
