My Dad took me shooting today to an indoor shooting range, it was so much fun! We use to go all the time back in the day and I haven't gone for quite some time, so I went and so glad I did. I forgot how fun it is and not to mention, I got the honor in having the best teacher by my side, what a pro he is! I loved watching him too, it blows me away how talented he is; I am so impressed with my Dad! He is on the list of the top best shooters in the world, yeah that's how good he is; he  attends a couple competitions every week, makes his own targets and bullets and refurbishes his guns too! Okay I'm totally bragging about my Dad; you all get the point, he's amazing! Afterwards he treated me to lunch and then I got to visit with Robin for a bit which is always fun! Thank you Dad, I enjoyed myself and always love spending time with you!

A couple days ago, Tylar received her Birthday gift from her Me Me and Aunt Niesh. They sent it on time but the postal service was having issues but it made it and Tylar was so overly excited when she opened it up. They always are so good at spoiling the kids with lots of gifts! She got a bunch of Ponies with hair beads and clips, a cute caboodle of lots of Make up, a Baby Doll, a learning coloring book with tons of Crayons, Numbers, Shapes and Colors Cards, a cute Barbie Flashlight and a Sleeping Bag for both Tylar and Braxton! Such cool gifts, Tylar has been playing with them non stop, she's lovin them all! Thank you so very much Me Me and Aunt Niesh, your the best!!!!!!!!!

Tylar with all her opened gifts from Me Me and Aunt Niesh and the kids in their new sleeping bags; Tylar got Tinkerbell and Braxton got Cars, they snuggled in them for a while after opening them up, they love them, Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all love you guys!

Tylar and I made Valentine's Chocolate suckers when Braxton was at school; we had so much fun! Braxton helped wrap them when he got home!

The kids and I have been playing a lot of Tennis lately; I can't believe how much they love it and keep asking to go every day.

I love that the kids enjoy taking pics as much as I do! We have fun doing it and love being goofy!

We went to Rubios the other day for lunch; it was the first time I've been there, it was really good and a fun atmosphere!!!

Jess and the kids came over the other night for movie night; we snacked on tons of popcorn and candy! I love spending time with my sis no matter what were doing! I love her so much, she's my best friend! Love you Jess and lookin forward to our next girls night!

Lunch with the kids

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!!!

Basically loves anything girlie and is a major girlie girl but when she gets hurt, she is pretty tough and doesn't cry too much. The only girlie thing she doesn't care for is wearing her earrings.

Doesn't go by too many males, even family, only a couple of them

She's kinda mean when other kids she doesn't know talk to her; she'll hit the air and say "stop it!"  or say "Mom there talkin to me!" Lol!!

Her speech and vocabulary is at a 4 year olds level

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!
She still sleeps with Mom and Dad but will soon be swung off that. Braxton slept with us til he was 3 1/2 but took it fairly well! She wears night time diapers and does wet them because she still gets her sippy at night but is fully potty trained

Her favorite food is Eggs. She loves being infront of the camera and also behind it She loves all sorts of dolls but more so, real babies, especially her cousin Talon. She wants to take care of him and hold him non stop when he's around.

Fights with his sister a lot but also helps her with things a lot too!

Loves church! Usually enjoys School but not every day!

Is a major Boy in all ways but when he gets hurt, he really freaks out like his Daddy! Lol!
He doesn't like going to any stores not unless he has his own money to buy something, then he loves going. Loves playing with friends and his Cousins, actually loves baths and showers, cares about his appearance and loves new clothes and shoes, hates long drives but loves visiting family!

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!!!
