Beginning of March

So its now the middle of Apirl and I have blogged nothing about the month of march! I am so bad at this! I have been great on my photo challenge of taking a picture everyday! So I have lots of pictures to post so this maybe picture overload, but I want to document everything even the small stuff! So here we go!

March 1st: Was a rain morning and I had no desire to get dressed. It was definitely a sweats and hair in a bun kind of day!

March 2nd: I got the opportunity to host an online Miss Plunkett party to earn credit towards their products (that i love!!) They sent me a sample piece so that I could show friends and family some of their items. I had Bailey model the flower...doesnt she look adorable as always!

Nate had a blue ring pop and I never realized how bad they make your mouth blue! He was watching a show and eating his ring pop and he was loving both!

We also had a ward party this night and it was a dance one. They played the most popular songs of the different decades and did the dances to them. Here is a video of Nate going all out completely doing his own thing! Ha ha love this kid!

March 3rd: Skyler was gone this morning (can't remember doing what) but I need to head out and go try and find outfits for us for family pictures with my side of the family. I usually try to never take my kids shopping, but for some reason I decided to give it a try today because I was in a shopping mode! I packed up the kids and headed for some stores! We went to the Childrens Place, Old Navy and then I remembered the new Gap store had just opened so we headed over to see what they had! I was so surprised at how awesome my kids were behaving! They did amazing at every store!! It was such a fun day shopping even though I had my kiddos!

That night we went over to our friends Shawna and Jasons house to hang out. We played sequence and the boys always dominate! Shawna and I actually pulled off the win to night! I had to take a picture to document the occasion :)

March 4th: The kids were taking a bath this morning and Nate kept sticking this blue thing on Baileys head. I asked him what he was doing and he said its her party hat mom. Ha ha! Bailey didnt seem to mind so I went with it.

Later that afternoon we had the Kirby door salesman come to our door. My mother in law had just bought one and my sister in law has one so I wanted to see what all the hype was about and if it was really as amazing as they said it was. We had them come in and vacuum and shampoo our carpets. Everything they pulled up was really impressive and really disgusting! I was sold on it, but we in no way had the means to pay for it so we sent them on their way!

March 5th: Bailey turned 9 months old! I was taking some pictures of her and Nate was getting jealous and wanted some of him too! So here is a little photoshoot each on of them and then them together :) Love my babies!

March 6th: Bailey is starting to teeth and was loving her teething ring foot today! Later that night Nate was watching a movie on Skyler's iPad and Bailey wanted to going in on the fun of watching it too!

March 7th: Almost every morning there is a dance party going on in my bathroom as we get ready for the day. We jam out to Justin Beiber Pandora Radio (skyler isn't to happy about this) while the kids are in the bath and while we get dressed and ready. Here just us jamming out while getting ready and Nate busting his moves :)

That night was the Relief Society's birthday party activity. Our ward did a service auction for it and it was so fun!! Probably the best Relief Society activity I have been to! I won the "best chocolate cake ever" and it was just that! It was so yummy!

March 8th: We went to Blake's baseball game tonight. Bailey was entertained by eating puffs the whole time.

March 9th: Bailey's first teeth just started poking through. Apparently she wanted to get an early start brushing her teeth :)

Nate spent the day outside playing with his friends for hours! He came home and sat on the couch while I made dinner and I looked over 10 minutes later to find him completely zonked out!

March 10: I have seen the waterfall braid all over pinterest and I love it so much! I decide I wanted to learn how to do it so I You Tubed a video and tried to copy it! Its pretty difficult to do on your own hair especially when you aren't great at doing hair to begin with! This was my attempt at it. Hopefully I can get better at it with time!

March 11th: The kids in their sunday best

March 12th: We had fairly descent weather today and it was the first day of spring break so we went with our friends shawna and Jayz to the Hidden Valley Park.

That night we went up to Gunlock and had a picnic dinner and collected some drift wood. It was a fun and beautiful night!

March 13th: The weather was perfect! Nate and I took advantage of it when Bailey was asleep. I laid out and he played in water buckets! Then a bunch of his neighborhood friends came over for awhile and they all played outside enjoying the beautiful day!

That night Lex and Kelsey had us over for dinner. Nate and Will played outside and Bailey tried to sneak out and join them a few times! She loved standing up on this car and walking behind it as Nate drove it!

March 14th: Nate had playgroup at his friend Porter Berquist house today and his mom sent me a picture of them all dressed up...so cute right? While he was a playgroup I went to target in search for a new duvet cover that I saw on my friends blog that I totally fell in love with!! Its so cute and the best part is it was only $25!! I have been wanting to change the colors of my room to grey and yellow for awhile now. I bought a grey rug at ikea a few months ago and when I saw this cute duvet cover I just had to have it! Here are pictures of the duvet and rug. Now i just need to make throw pillows, paint the walls, redo my headboard and add in new decor...not to much right? ;)

March 15th: I love "stunting" with my little girl! Future cheerleader?

Later that night we went to the park and had a picnic and hung out as a family! Favorite kind of nights!

March 16th: We had such nice weather this past week and we were outside pretty much everyday and this day was no exception! We once again went to the park. I put Bailey in a baby swing for the first time. Normally kids either love it or hate it at first and she didn't really do either. She just had a look of confusion on her face the whole time ha ha!

Angela, Tyler and Kylee got into town about 2 and as soon as they walked in the door the kids got right to playing candyland! We spent the rest of the day hangout at grandmas!

The rest of february

Feb 15th: We went to watch Blake play basketball (just like we do almost every wednesday and friday). I love going to watch the games. They are always so exciting and come down to the very last second! Nate likes to bring a few cars and play. Today he found a little friend to play with him :)

Feb 16th: We welcome baby Zoey to the world! Amy had her baby at 1:30am! I went over and visited them in the morning while Nate was at preschool and I left Bailey with Skyler. She is so adorable and I immediately fell in love with my sweet little niece! Love ya Zoe!

On the way to drop off Nate at practice it was so so foggy! I could barely see anything in front of me! I snapped this picture of this cool looking tree while stopped at a stop sign.

Later that night Bailey stood up for the first time! She can't stand up by herself, but if i stand her up and let go she will stay standing for about an average of 10 seconds! She is getting be such a big girl!

Nate didn't love that I was giving so much attention to Bailey and got a little jealous and started pulling out his "tricks." He kept saying watch me watch me mom! He was trying to twirl and catch the little stick...it was hilarious because he was be so serious and trying to so hard. I don't think baton twirling is in his future ha ha!

Feb 17th: Happy birthday to my cute nephew Tyler who turned 5 today! I can't believe it! Unfortunately he doesn't live close to us so we didn't get to see him, but we did get to talk to him on the phone! Love that boy!

I had activity days over at my house today and we decorated valentines day cookies! They were so delicious!! While we were decorating cookies the boys were outside playing and the next thing we knew they had their shirts off playing in the hose! It was a gorgeous day and the weather was perfect so it was just fine! Playing in hose water outside in the middle of february??...thats why I love St. George!

Feb 18th: I worked my quarterly shift at The Children's Place today. They had their new spring clothes in and they were so so cute! I couldn't help, but by a few things! So much for trying to make money :)

We went to Mcdonalds that night and Bailey was sucking down her drink so fast! I love watching her drink out of sippy cups! Its so cute!

Feb 19th: Today Nate gave the theme in Primary today. They told us the day before that he was suppose to and he worked really hard at memorizing it! He did such a great job! So proud of him!

After church Bailey did a great job of helping me with the dishes :)

Then Nate pinned down Bailey and she was laughing so hard then she got him right back!

Then we headed over the Skyler's moms for dinner and Nate stole Skylers hat on the way. My little gangster man

Bailey always tries to steal the kids sippy cups if they are lying around so today I got her one of her own and she loved it!

That night Josie and Dallin were sleeping over since their mom just had her baby and Grandma let nate join in on the fun too! They all had a sleepover and loved it! SInce we weren't planning on it and we went over there he didn't have pajamas so he wore one of Uncle Blake's t-shirts. Josie thought that was pretty cool so her and Dallin got one too! They all looked so cute! Dallin was busy playing but I did get a picture of Nate and Josie!

Feb 20th: Today was a breakfast for dinner kind of day. Mostly because we didn't have anything else in the house to eat! It was a big hit with the kids though! Even Bailey was downing the waffles!

Feb 21st: When we went to costco Nate asked if he could sit up next to Bailey. I love the costco carts for the fact I can't put both my kids in the front on of the cart. He was so excited and kept kissing Bailey! Some got a little passionate ha ha! I had to have the how we do quick kisses to family members talk.

The rest of the day was full of this

Needless to say I was ready for the day to be over!

Feb 22nd: It was finally bunco night! Bailey had been sick and cranky the last few days so it couldn't have come at a better time! It was a much needed girls night! When I got home Skyler had the kids asleep and it was oh so nice!

Feb 23rd: We went over and visited Amy and let Nate and Bailey meet their new cousin Zoey! We wanted to steal Josie and Dallin and take them to the new trampoline jumping place, but unfortunately Dallin was sleeping so just Josie was able to go. They had a blast! Since it was a school day there were hardly any kids there and the ones that were there were their age so it was nice!

Josie had told Nate about how she had just bought a dress and Nate had been working hard to earn money to buy himself a toy he really wanted. When we got home he asked if he could count his money to see if he had enough to buy his toy. We hadn't counted it in awhile and we were both surprised and excited when we counted it and found out he had just enough! He had to save up $8! He earned quarters by doing chores and convincing grandmas and aunts to give him their quarters! I told him at the start of the year that he could earn up money to buy himself a toy that he really wanted and he had a goal to earn 8 dollars so over the course of 2 months he did it and I was so proud of him! It was a good math lesson for him too! He grouped his money according the what coins they were and then I told him that 4 quarters make $1 and he needed to make lines with 4 quarters in each line. The was a fun learning and achieving a goal milestone! He is getting to be such big boy!

Feb 24th: Bailey woke up all night long with diarrhea! It was a long night! This is how many diapers I changed between 11pm and 8am! That is not normal!

I took her to see the doctor and there wasn't much they could do for us, but he did say she had a mild ear infection and gave us a prescription for that. We went to pick it up from the store and while we were there Nate bought his toy. I felt bad for the cashier lady who had to count out all his quarters, but she was a cute old lady and she loved the fact that he was paying for it himself! She was so nice!

Feb 25th: I went and saw the rest of the parade of homes with my mother-in-law. We had a good time! It was fun seeing all the beautiful houses even though they were a lot smaller this year!

That night my old roomie friend and her fiancé were in town and we double dated and went out to dinner. It was so fun seeing them and catching up!! I can't wait for their wedding in April!

Feb 26th: This is what our sunday afternoons consist of snuggle time and naps!

Feb 27th: The average monday always consist of laundry, ironing, store run and FHE treats :)

Feb 28th:The only picture I took today was of an amazing scrapbook layout my mom did of my sister's adorable family! I love it so much!

Feb 29th: Today was leap year and that means Skyler's brother Jesse had his real birthday this year! Thats right...he is a leap year boy! So he turned 6 (24)! His cute wife threw him a fun surprise luau party! He had a ton and friends and family there and she did an amazing job on everything! She served hawaiian haystacks and they were delicious! Nate inhaled it! I know what I need to start making more of for dinner! She had a fun how well do you know Jesse questionnaire and Skyler got defensive when he heard his mom won! He requested a recount and thought there is no way no one knew Jesse better them ha ha!
