When I started this blog I knew I wasn't going to be a daily or even weekly poster but I didn't think I would take a two year break! Haha New year, New goals.
Since my last post a lot has happened! Daysen is four. They are at such fun ages. Daysen is curious about everything. He asks so many questions! "What does sure mean?" "Why can Aunt ____ say shut up and I can't?" "Am I five yet?" "How many days until my birthday?" 90% of the time I have to say "I don't know!" Then he says, " What does I don't know mean?" Then I say, "I don't know, it means I don't know the answer." Then I realize my answer is not satisfying him, so he goes to ask Josh. Thank goodness!
Whenever Daysen wants to play with Josh he will say, "Dad do you want to play with your Dacer?" I didn't realize how much Josh calls Daysen, Dacer until I took Daysen to Itty Bitty Ball. It was half way through the season and Josh had taken him to all of the previous practices. I couldn't hear what his coach was calling him until she yelled for him to come onto the field. She was calling him Dacer and that was all she was calling him. It was so weird to hear someone other than Josh call him that. She must have heard Josh saying it and figured that was his name because I am pretty sure Josh didn't introduce him as Dacer.
He is in preschool and loves it. He loves to come home with homework. He loves to carpool with his friends. He loves to write his name.
This year we found out Daysen has allergies. Poor guy! They only act up when he is around animals. They went crazy when we took him to the circus out in SLC. Then at Vernal Holly Days he rode a pony and I had to run to grab some benadryl.
He gave his first talk in primary in December 2012. He was SOOO excited! When I whispered what it said he did so good repeating it loud so everyone could hear. Josh and I had a very proud parent moment.
Christmas was so much fun with him. I loved his little christmas list, just a lightning mcqueen car with remote control. So sweet. He has the Santa thing all figured out. Santa has helpers and elves that watch to see if you are being good. Ever since he has this thing where he will give you an X or a check. When you are being good you get a check and when you are bad you get an X. He says he is helping Santa. Taylyn and I get lots of X's.
Taylyn grew out of being a baby so fast. She loves to talk on the phone. She is always calling people on our phones and somehow she knows who she is talking to.
I love when she sings, "I love, I love, I la la love you." It is the cutest thing ever!
When she wants to be held and cuddled she will go up to you and say, "I tired." Then suck on those two little fingers and close her eyes.
When she farts she says, "Whats that?" Then I'll say, " I don't know what is it?" Then she'll smile and say, "It stinky bubbles." Hahahahaha oh my!
She loves to say good morning whenever she wakes up and will keep saying it until you say it back.
She loves to sing, dance, dress up, and get beautiful. She is definitely a girly girl. Painting nails, putting on make up and drawing on anything but paper are her favorite things to do. She does not like to run around whatsoever. We were at the rec. center playing basketball and she wanted to be held the entire time. She is the complete opposite of Daysen. She has a huge stubborn streak! She knows what she wants and nobody can change her mind.
I love them so much! I wish I could just hold them and never let go!
September 2011 Josh and I bought our first home! We were very blessed to find it at a good deal but it is a huge project taking on a fixer-upper. So far we have replaced all of the carpet, replaced the ceiling downstairs, replaced 2 out of 3 toilets, painted the upstairs, tiled the kitchen(Very proud of Josh for that :)), started floor trim upstairs, and landscaped the front lawn. It has been frustrating and slow at times but worth it in the end. We can look at our work proudly and fix it up the way we like.
We have a new dog, Killian. He is a german shepherd and such a good dog. He listens so well. He is big and doesn't know it. He is a year old now.
Right now we are focusing on the new year and what we can bring to it. Happy 2013!!
