Tylar and I were bored so we decided to take mommy daughter pictures, it was a lot of fun playing dress up!

Last night I attempted to color my hair which is usually scary for me seeing how in the past I have messed it up everytime! lol. I'm actually surprised on how it turned out, I was difinitely set on going darker and I'm glad I did!

Tylar's 3rd Birthday!!

When Tylar woke up, I had the house decorated with Pink streamers every where and her cake I made and gifts all on the table; she was so excited!!!!!!! She opened them up right away!

Her new Birthday outfitts!

Her Auntie Mia sent her this cute bobby jack monkey with a matching tee; she loved it so much and carries the monkey around with her every where we go! Thank you Auntie Mia, Destiny & Damon!!!!

She got this purse filled with stamps, jewelery and other goodies and the Thumbelina doll from Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Scott; she loves girly stuff and plays with the doll all the time! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!!!

Auntie Jessy and Tayson dropped by that night to bring Tylar a gift. They gaveher a cute Dora doll who Tylar loves and a my little pony car with ponies in it! She loves it so much and pushes the car around a lot! Thank you Uncle Mike, Auntie Jessy, Tayson and Talon!!

I made the top tier Chocolate cause Tylar is obsessed with Chocolate, so she got it all to herself and the bottom was yellow that the rest of us enjoyed with her! So glad they came by to be able to share cake with us! It was so fun and Tylar had a blast!!!

We did what ever she wanted all day long. She really wanted to go the park, so we did and stayed FOREVER and she loved it! She also wanted her toes painted, so I did the design of ladybugs like she asked because she wanted to match her earrings! It's always fun to do girly stuff like that with her!

We had a little incident the other day with our gerbil and he passed. Auntie Jessy brought over a new one and surprised the kids! They were so excited and surprised to get a new one! This one is so furry and Black, it's so cute! Thanks you guys for getting them a new one! Oh and also brought along a huge bag od bedding and food! So thoughtful!!!!!

Mike and Jess wnet on a buisness trip for a few days and I got to enjoy my nephews company. We made cookies and Lasagna, it was so cute to see the kids get so excited about baking! I couldn't have done it without my little bakers in training! Thanks to everyone for all the gifts for Tylar, she loved them all! Her Me Me and Aunt Niesh sent a gift that's on it's way, so I will post it on here when it comes! I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast! I love you Tylar and hope your day was the best like you deserve!!!

shes pretty consistant with her manners, She has the best memory ever! She will bring up a situation that happened forever ago and will remember the person, where it was and what they said,. It's amazing!

Funny and cute words he mispronounces are: "puter" instead of computer, "masty" instead of nasty and "scarring" instead of starring

Braxton is a major Daddy's boy! He is good at holding the doors open for his Mommy and other girls and good at letting them go first! He always tells his sister and Mommy they are beautiful and tells Daddy he's awesome. He likes getting the newspaper fom the driveway, he likes getting his picture taken and loves taking them and is very good at it!

Every time Mommy is crafting or decorating, he always says "your good Mom" or "that looks beautiful Mom" he is very very good at complimenting people!

He loves telling on other people to get them in trouble and has a hard time fessing up when he does something he's not suppose to but has improved with  honesty!

He loves collecting rocks, coloring and is very good at it and watching all kinds of movies. He doesn't care for pizza but loves Sushi, raw onions, tomatoes and isn't a picky eater, just not pizza but still will eat it.

Braxton is a people pleaser most of the time and always has been, to where Tylar on the other hand is rarely and ONLY on her watch! There both great kids and definatley have their moments like all kids. They ae just going through a stage right now where they fight A LOT! It's so cute to see Braxton now go to school and watch them both grow up so fast and see them discover new things and form their little personalities! This is a long post but I like to keep this as a journal for myself and also for those who don't live near. I left out a lot more but this post would then be never ending cause there's so much I can say about them! I love my kiddies more than anything and feel so honored to call them mine and watch these 2 little miracles grow and learn every day! They are my greatest blessings and I live for them! I love you Braxton and Tylar!!!

More Pictures From The Holidays

Before we left to St. George, we went to Mike and Jessica's house and my Dad and Robyn came over. We all had our own little get together and my Dad and Robyn brought gifts for all the kids. Braxton got a cool hot wheels ramp with cars and Tylar got a talking baby, they loved them!! Mike made awesome burgers and fries and home made fry sauce, it was soooo good! We had a really fun time chillin and hangin out together as a fam!

We made a huge gingerbread house, the kids had so much fun, especially eating the candy!

On our way back from St. George, we stayed a night with my sister Melissa and her kids, Damon and Destiny in Vegas. I love hanging out with her but I'm so mad I didn't get any pics of us, shocked huh!?! We watched The Hangover which was my second time seeing it but the first time I didn't pay too much attention to it and thought it was stupid but this time I really payed attention and laughed my butt off!! So when we first got there, Missy and I decided to go to the store and get some snacks and pizza. It was right around the corner from her place. So we took her car cause ours was way packed! We only took Tylar while the boys hung out. So before I go on with this story, for the people that really know me, know that I am a strong believer in seat belts and car seats. Well I have only done this ONE time previous;  I didn't get Tylar's car seat out of the car and put it in Missy's. It is strapped in in about 4 places and is really hard to get out especially with the car being packed. So I figured we'd be fine since the store was so close. I sat in the back seat with Tylar in Missy's car and buckled her in. Well what do you know, just my luck; we got pulled over cause Missy's plates were suspended and she didn't know; she was borrowing the car from a friend. The cop comes up to the car and immediatley asks how old Tylar was; after I responded, he bitched us out and was so mean but I could also understand how frustrated he was because he said he has seen a five year old that wasn't buckled in and threw through the windshield and died. He went back to his car and as we sat there; I was SOOOOOOO scared just thinking how much this ticket was gonna be or wasn't sure what the state laws were there and I even thought that maybe they might take me to jail! My heart felt like it was going to explode! I was even speechless when he was reaming us out, Missy did most of the talking, thank god! I was so mad at myself because I really never do that! Well the best part of the story that I'm still in shock about is he came back to the car and let us go with warnings! I couldn't believe it! He did say he wanted someone to bring a car seat for Tylar. So I called Nate and he came with the boys and Tylar drove back with him. I learned my lesson that's forsure, I will never do that again no matter how lazy I am or how close my destination is!!!

Jess, Talon and I went to Twilight for the second time,it was great! I seriousley can't get enough of it!
