By the end of the week she was doing really well!!! The best part about it is she stays dry at night and during her naps!!! defiantly no diapers any more for me!!!

Sayla plays house and she puts her babies on the toilet and tells them to go pee pee, it is so funny!!! She is defiantly alittle mom!!!

St. George

In January we went to St. George with John's family it was a great trip, thankfully the weather was great, the kids were in heaven playing out side, and we were able to do a couple great hikes!!! We arrived there on Friday and of course we went straight to the pool where the kids swam a ton. Then next day we got up and headed of to Zions National Park which I haven't been there in along time so it was nice to go and see how beautiful it was. Since it has been such a wet winter alot of the hikes were covered in snow so we decided to the lower Imper pools, "sorry I don't know how to spell it", it was a nice day the kids were so excited!!!

Makenna

Well Makenna turned five and I can not believe I have a five year old now she well be going to kindergarten this year which is crazy. Makenna is full of life, she is such a good little girls. I don't know where to start with Makenna, Well first I am going to start with school, Makenna is in her second year of preschool and just loves it see loves to learn, Makenna practice writing her name, reading she is trying so hard to read, we read every night to the girls and Makenna well not go to bed at night with out us reading to her.

Makenna use to say when I grow up I am going to be a farmer because I love animal, well it has changed to a Artist, she loves to paint and color, make crafts, she is pretty dang good at it too. She well paint the neatest picture. If you ask her what she is going to be when she grows up she says a Artis and a farmer!!!

Makenna loves her Animal, she loves puff ball which is our cat she is not aloud in the house but at times I find in the house with Makenna dressing it up and making it be her baby , pushing it in the stroller.

Makenna is the best big sister she loves her baby sister Sayla she is so patient with her, I love to watch her talk to her and try to reason with her, it is pretty funny, Makenna it always helpful with her.

Makenna had a couple favorite people in her life I think the number one person it her Aunt Affy she loves her so much she always want to hang out with her and the second person she loves is her Grandma Tammy, Makenna gets to have a sleep over every week at grandma Tammy's. They have there special things they do together, Makenna loves to cook with her, make crafts.

Makenna is alittle pit of a pack rat I have to DE junk her stuff weekly, it is so funny makenna well hang on to something for ever.

I catch Makenne getting into my makeup alot she loves to put lipstick on and Eye shadow.

Makenna is a very busy girl, she has dancing which she loves to death, I well put some music on and turn around and she well be dancing, she loves to dance, she loves to watch dancing movies.

This was Makenna's first year is gymnastics and she is enjoying it so much she just moved up in a level and is always doing cartwheels around the house.

Makenna loves to watch Mama Mia and Hairspray and Cats, she is a Broadway girls.

I have to say that she a such a snuggle, she still gets a close and she can and then goes to sleep.

Makenna loves to do about anything, she is loves to go swimming she is such a fish, she ask me daily about going to seven peaks!!! Which right now it is way to cold.

We are such lucky parents to have such a wonderful little girl, Makenna is growing up so fast and some times it is so hard but I am looking forward to see what happened in the next couple years!!!

Sayla

When my girls were born I am really good and writing about what they are doing and how much then are growing and changing but then after they turn one years old I do a 18 month and then I like to do yearly check up on the kids. Well what is new than life is really busy and I haven't posted for over two months and I need to right about Sayla last year what she has done from 18 months tell now.

To start off saying Sayla is very unique!! She is so much fun, This girl has bright red hair, she is always smiling every where we go she always has every one's attention. Since the day she was born people come up and like to tell me how cute she is, well nothing has changed much people are still coming up. I think it is because she is always smiling. Most of the time Sayla is happy, she goes with the flow of life!! But when she gets mad it is pretty dang funny because she just complete loose it for about a minute and then she is back to normal.

Sayla loves her bed, she loves to take naps she comes and lets me know it is time to lay down, lately when she takes her nap she makes me put her back into her pajamas, so she is nice and confey, my kind of girl, then when she is not sleeping she is always running around naked. She of course loves to dress her self, the best time of the day is when I start to get ready to work out she has to have her workout cloths including shoes and then she goes and get 2 matching zuzu pets to work out with because they are her weights. She is so funny specially when she is working out she is pretty dang good. She does great jumping jacks!!!

Sayla loves her Grandparents, specially her Grandpa Ras it is so funny because no matter where we are at in the store, shopping if she see a older guy with a cowboy hat she starts telling there is Grandpa. She has always just loved him so much.

Sayla started talking earlier than Makenna so it has been so nice because she can pretty much say anything, but my favorite saying is when she says "I want to watch despicable me ", and "Tinker bell". We ended up watched these movies alot.

Sayla loves her big sister, She spends most of her day following Makenna around doing what every she is doing Sayla is right behind her. It is so crazy because I just don't remember Makenna growing up so fast. It just seems like Sayla is changing by the minute!!! Sayla loves to play house, She is such a cute little mom when she spends the day caring her Babbie's around feeding and changing there diapers!!! She loves to play with her little kitchen and cook. She well come and get me make me sit down at the table and fix me dinner and make me eat it.

Sayla loves to color, paint and she is pretty good at it. She can do this for hours and not get board!!

Sayla loves Puff ball and Oakley, and specially the horses, she can not get enough of all of them!! she say "I want to ride".

One thing she loves is lipstick, she can not get enough of them, fingernail polish always wanting me to paint her fingernail and toenails, and then she well say, "so pretty". She is all girl.

This winter was alot of fun, Sayla loved to go sleigh riding play in the snow!! She loved to Eat the snow every where we go I had to watch her like a hawk because she would eat the snow but never check to see what color it was.

This girl loves her thumb, She stilll sucks it alot but she is so cute when she does, the best is if you ask her if you can have a taste she well share her thumb with you, just a small taste!!!

All I can say is that she is so much fun to have, I love her so much and we are so blessed to be able to have her in our life's!!!
