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.

Bunko

I have been playing Bunko with a group of friends for about 6 years now and tonight was the most amazing night ever! I got a total of 9 Bunkos, I had 14 - 3 of a kinds and my total was 350!! I have never seen anyone get that much before! It was sooooo crazy, I seriously have a sore throat from squealing. In the first 4 round I got 3 of the bunkos and the lucky streak just kept on going the rest of the game! It was the funnest game ever, I think everyone was a little sick of me getting all the Bunkos but I didn't care I was having a blast. I won this cute Easter tree. Thanks for the fun night guys I will never forget it!

Roberts Crafts

To all my Cedar City friends:Maybe you have heard that Roberts Crafts in Cedar City is planning to close in April due to their lease being up and wanting to consolidate a few stores. Cedar City can't afford to lose another store that is vital to our community! We are asking that everyone e-mail the Corporate Headquarters asking them to reconsider their decision. The link to the website is listed below. Thank you for your support! http://www.robertscrafts.com/default.aspx?PageID=53

We really need a craft store here, we really won't have anywhere in Cedar to buy cute scrapbooking items and I buy so much of my supplies for my business www.babyblossom.biz there. I really don't want to take all my business to St. George. I remember when I was little and my mom took me to the Saturday kids craft projects at Roberts. I was looking forward to doing that with my girls. It makes me so sad they are closing.

Weigh In

We went to Jaylee's check up and she is almost 7 months old. She weighs 14lbs 4oz (10%) and is 26 inches (45%) My biggest concern at this appointment was that she does not eat solid foods very well. She spits out almost everything we feed her and she gets a look on her face like it is disgusting. So I've tried everything I can think of. I tried mixing rice cereal with some baby fruits, breast milk, formula, smashed bananas. Then I tried mixed grain cereal with all of the above. I've tried it thin, thick, in a bottle, in a sippy cup and with a spoon. I've tried giving her just the baby fruits and vegetables without the cereal. The only solid thing she likes to snack on is animal crackers. So I told the Pediatrician this and he just looked at me with a blank stare, like he had never heard of a baby not wanting solid food. So he suggested this, LET HER FEED HERSELF THE CEREAL!! Can I just say it was the biggest mess ever. She did enjoy it though and I think she did eat some of it. Sheridyn was so worried about her making a mess, she was cleaning up around her with a rag. It was pretty funny. Well those of you who know rice cereal it is like glue! So I rinsed her off in the sink and gave her a bath that night and in the morning I still found rice cereal on her! I don't think we will be doing this every night. Anyone ever had this problem with their baby? I could use some suggestions. I really don't want to nurse her the rest of my life and she will not sleep more than 2 -3 hours at time at night because she wants to eat! And she will not take a bottle.


MESSY, but she loved it!
