Name Spelling

I made up a cheer for Sheridyn's name so she could learn to spell it. It's so cute. Here she is singing it.

S - H - ERI - D - Y - N what's that spell Sheridyn!


Jaylee has started to scoot across the floor. It's so funny and she squeals out loud.

Welcome Home Elder Hoyt

Last night James's little brother Jason returned home from his 2 year LDS mission in Mexico. It was so great to see him! He was so funny, he walked off the plane in a sombrero. After tears, hugs and pictures we all went to Golden Corral for dinner. Jason looks great and is doing really good. He only messed up his English a couple times haha. He brought us home some sweet Aviation sunglasses. We have really missed Jason he is the funnest brother in law. We can't wait to hear all of his mission stories and get to spend more time with him!

On Saturday Sheridyn had her dance recital with OnStage. It was so cute!!! Sheridyn loves to dance and she gets so excited to go to class. She was so cute on stage performing she tried so hard to do all the steps. I was so proud of her, she is one of the youngest girls in her group and she wasn't scared and she just got up on the stage like it was nothing to perform in front of all those people. My mom, dad, Danielle and Colton and James's parents all came to watch. Then we all went to Dairy Queen after to celebrate.

Happy Mother's Day

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Mother. I just wanted to say a little bit about how much my Mom means to me. My Mom is a perfect example of the mother I want to be to my kids. She is so selfless, she would do anything for her children. She will also do anything for my Dad, her friends and ward members. She has a beautiful testimony of the Jesus Christ and truly follows his example. Now that I am a Mom I am starting to realize just how much she has really done for me. She is always there for me if I need help with the girls and she is always more than happy to watch them for me. Sheridyn adores her and you can already tell that she is one of Jaylee's favorite people. I am so happy my kids have such a wonderful Grandma that loves to spend time with them and love them. She is the perfect shopping partner, my favorite person to talk to about anything, my coke buddy and even my friends love her and love to hang out with her. I am so lucky to call my mom my best friend, I really don't know what I would do without her. Thank you Mom!

Disneyland

We had so much fun at Disneyland! We went to California for 5 days. I was really dreading the drive all the way from Utah to Cali but the girls were great. We left at 4 in the morning on Wednesday so that they would sleep most of the trip there. Thursday and Friday we went to Disneyland and had a blast. Sheridyn loved seeing all the characters and dressing up as Cinderella. I have never had Sheridyn so tired that she was asking to go have a nap! Jaylee was the perfect baby and loved going on the rides. Saturday we went to Huntington Beach and played in the sand. Sheridyn loved the ocean and looking for seashells. Then Sunday morning we went back to Disneyland for a couple hours before we headed home. It was the perfect time to go we walked on almost every ride and didn't have to wait in a huge line to see Mickey and Minnie. We really had a great vacation.

Everyone loved these cute Minnie Mouse ears! We got compliments everywhere that they wore them.

Easter Dress Pictures

These pictures are a little late, but the weather has been so unpredictable here so I had to wait for a nice day. I just love these two girls so much. Getting them all dressed up is one of my favorite things to do. These are the dresses that the Easter Bunny brought them. Don't they look adorable!!

Kane Beds

This last weekend we went camping down to the Kane Beds by Coral Pink Sand Dunes. It was soooo nice I got sunburned!!! My parents got a new Razor 800 it was so much fun. It felt like we were in a race car. James' brother Gerry and Jill came out with their kids for an afternoon and we went and saw the dinosaur tracks and played in the sand. It was a great trip and really nice to get our of the bad weather in Cedar!

Easter

I have a lot to catch up on! I can't believe it's been a month since I was on here last. Time is just flying and I don't have a second to do anything! So Jaylee is now 8 months old!! I really can not believe how fast she is growing up. This last month she has learned to sit unsupported. She says Dada and she still says Mama sometimes when she is crying. She loves to pull my hair and put it in her face (hope she grows out of that stage soon or I won't have any hair left) And most importantly she is finally EATING! Like 3 weeks ago she just decided that she was finally ready to eat food. She doesn't want mushy stuff though, she wants little chunks of real food. She is such a sweet heart and loves to smile and laugh.

So Easter was fun. This is the first Easter with Sheridyn that we have ever stayed home. We are usually out camping at the sand dunes. Sheridyn was so excited for the Easter bunny to come. She put her stool up next to the window so she could keep checking outside to see if the Easter bunny had came yet. We waited till the afternoon for the hunt so it would be a little warmer. It was really fun. Then we went to my parent's house and had a yummy Easter dinner and played games and of course we did the "grown ups" Easter egg hunt that is a tradition in my family. I of course threw my little brother Colton's shoes out over the deck so that I could get a head start on the eggs. We really have a blast beating each other to the eggs and playing like we are kids again.
