Just a little of what has been going on in our family!!

2012-10-02T18:25:00.000-07:00

Just a couple things that we have been up to lately!!! We went with Tyson's family to the zoo.. I LOVE the zoo. We were sad Kaldyr didnt get to come with us this time:( The Giraffes are my favorite and the Elephants but we didnt get a picture with them..

I have a BIG boy:)

Can you even believe that my Daxman is THREE!!! cause i cant. It seriously kills me!!! I honestly feel like i just had him. Time goes by SOO fast. TO FAST!!!

He wanted a chocolate donut for breakfast. So thats what his Daddy got for him:) Do you like the Christmas wrapping paper!!

Miss Maylee was blessed.. Tyson gave her a BEAUTIFUL blessing. I am so so beyond thankful for a husband that holds the priesthood to give my children blessings. It is such a special thing!! And he does such an amazing job. He gets SO nervous before but he has no reason to cause he does great!! And she looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL in her white dress:) I love my baby girl!!!

She is beautiful!!! I know I am her mommy but just look at her:)

We took the boys to the dinosaur park. I thought they would love it but they actually were kinda scared at first.(little girls)

They got better though.

It ended up pouring on us so we had to leave early.. We were bummed but now we will just have to go back. Look at those nerdy boys:) I love them!!

Maylee is FOUR months already:( I love that she is getting more personality and so much fun but it makes me sad she is growing up.. At her 4 month appt. she is 20% in her weight 24% in her height so she is just a little thing.. We love this baby SO SO much!!

My family went camping a couple weekends ago so we went up for the day since we dont have a trailer!! Once again we didnt have Kaldyr with us..

I LOVE this picture.. I told Dax to do a funny face and this is what we got:) even May was smiling...

Miss May is getting big.. She is now eating rice. And she LOVES it.. She cant get enough of it and we cant get it in fast enough.. I love this time when they get to try new things.

Life is great!! I love my little family SO SO much. I am so blessed and wouldnt change a thing!!

The last of summer. Back to school and work:(

2012-08-18T18:42:00.001-07:00

Its back to school for Kaldyr and work for me.. SAD!! Kaldyr will be in Kindergarten this year.. WHAT??? Wow i cant even believe it. He is so excited though. He loves school. He is such a social bug so he will love it. Since i am going back to work in a couple days i have been trying to do as much as possible.. So last week my sister called to go to my grandmas pool.. The kids have a lot of fun when we go. and its nice. It rained on us alittle but that was ok..

Kaldyr, Quincie and Jovie...Kaldyr is such a fish in the water. He has never taken swimming lessons and he does SO good..

We went to Mantua beach with some of my friends from High School. That was fun. I thought this was the cutest little picture of Naleah, Dax and Paisley:) Cute kids. The girls were a bit younger then Dax but he still had fun!!

Maylee and Hannah hanging out under the umbrella.. Such good babies:) Hannah is a month younger then May..

I loved this. I was getting some things ready one day to leave and put May in her bumbo and turned Mickey Mouse on for Dax and this is what i found:) So cute. And Maylee already loved Mickey Mouse.. She sat there for a good 15 min.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE my baby is already 3 Months old!!! It makes me CRAZY.. I love it but i also HATE it! She is such a good baby i am so lucky once again. Someone told me the other day that i need to have a real baby:) Cause i have been so lucky with them all. She is growing yet she is still a little peanut. She is still so tiny and petite but starting to do so many fun things. We just love her to pieces!! Especially her Daddy. There is nothing better then seeing your baby girl smile the biggest smile every time she sees or even hears her Daddy. And she already has him wrapped around her little tiny finger. She is definately a princess at our house!!!

~SUMMER~

2012-08-09T18:20:00.002-07:00

I can not believe our summer is pretty much OVER!!! It seriously makes me sick. Although we have had a fun fun summer it still makes me sad its almost over. I have had the whole summer off work for maternity leave and it has been FABULOUS and thats an understatement!!! I have loved EVERY second of my time home. Some days are definately hard but i wouldnt change it for nothing. I'm sad to be going back:( So here is a little bit of what we have done this summer. We went Swimming with Tyson's family for family night. The kids loved that. Especially Kaldyr he is seriously a fish.

Kaldyr was outside playing with Tyson while he was working and Tyson looked over and Kaldyr was spelling his name with the wire all by himself:) We thought it was pretty cleaver of him to do by himself.

Lots and LOTS of outside riding their bikes and we cant ever forget to put on the "Bike gloves" (Gardening gloves). They would be out all day long if it wasnt so hot and i made us go inside!!! I cant handle the heat to long!

We went with My sister Ashley and sister in law Cayley and the kids to the splash pad. They had lots of fun. Miles and Ike were there to but we didnt get them in the picture.

And little Miss May enjoyed sleeping in the sun while the kids played!! She is the best little thing ever!!

Little Maylee turned 2 Months old and is smiling ALL the time:) Wouldnt you love to see this cute little smile everyday?? I'm a lucky mommy!!!

We got to go to Bear lake a couple times and one of those times we got to stay in our cousins cabin.. That trip instead of going to the lake we took the fourwheelers and went to the ice cave. Me, Maylee, Ashley and Ike rode in the car and met them there..

(I cant get these pictures to turn for some reason) But this is at the ice cave. We had been there before and its really cool. The kids loved it!

Daddy and his boys:)

May was out the whole time. She liked the little pouch..

All the kids!! Case, Dax, Quincie, Miles, Kaldyr, Drake, Jovie, Ike, Suri and Colt.. They all played so good and loved it.

When we got back this is how they looked.. Do you think they had fun:). Then we got out the sprinkler and let them run and they were a muddy mess.

We went to the 24th Parade with some our good friends. The parade is one of my favorites from being a kid. I loved it so i hope my kids will too:)

It rained on us but that was ok it made it so it wasnt so hot..

Daxon, Kaldyr and Kayla. Best little buds!!

My little miss May!! We just cant get enough of her. We love having a sister in our house. She has been the best little thing ever. She has slept through the night since 4 weeks. Eats good. Hardly ever cries. loves her Daddy and brothers. Smiles All the time. We LOVE LOVE this baby girl!!!

HA HA and we have gloves again. For some reason these boys love gloves!! NERDS but we love them too!!

And another Bear lake trip!! I'm a bad mom and didnt get one of the boys.. oops! But look how cute she is in her little sun dress enjoying the beach..

Cute kids!!!

We have had a fun summer and are sad its coming to an end!! But life is good and everyone is healthy, happy and growing what more can we ask for?

Little miss Maylee Joy!!!

2012-05-28T18:12:00.000-07:00

Well here is a little bit of our little miss Maylee!! I can not believe she is already 10 days old:( I hate how fast time goes. It seems like i just had my Daxman and now i am holding my baby girl and Dax is almost 3. It kills me! Just a short version of the whole process of getting Maylee here. I woke up around 2 am on May 18th having some contractions about every 6-10 minutes so not to close but they sure did hurt. So i just went out on the couch to watch them and see what i was going to do. So after laying there till 5:30 i finally went and woke up Tyson and told him it was probably time to go.. Kaldyr was coming at 6 and we called my little sister to come sit with the boys so we got things put together and headed off. we got to the hospital around 7am and got checked in and i was only at a 4 and by this time i was so ready for my epidural i couldnt stand it.. We finally got in our room about 9:30 (Lots of babies decided to come this day so it took forever. Must of been the big storm we had) and i couldnt get my epidural for about another half hour 45 minutes because he was in with a C section. I finally got that and was a happy camper:) Dr silver who did my epidural was AMAZING!! Anyway my fabulous nurse checked me at 10:30 and was only a 4+ Wow this was going to be a long day. Oh ya and to top it off my Dr was at a track meet that day so i got to have an on call Dr deliver so i was really nervous. But found out it was Dr Bierer and i have heard such GOOD things about him so that made it alittle better. So she checked me again about 11:30 i was at a 6 and noticed my water had broke and there was also blood in the fluid..NOT GOOD! she didnt say much just told us and she also noticed that the baby's heart rate kept dropping also NOT GOOD. She called the Dr and he said he was on his way this baby needed to get here ASAP. He wanted a heart monitor on the baby's head so when she did that about 10 min later i was already a 7 and he called back about 5 min later and wanted a internal monitor for my contractions and when she did that i was at an 8 and Dr Bierer got there about 11:45 and i was complete and ready to get Maylee here. I pushed about 10 minutes the only other thing was the cord was wrapped around her little neck twice and Tyson said she was so purple and at 12:01pm our sweet little Maylee was born!! Her labor was completely different from Daxon's. I actually got to have her put right on my chest when she was born and Tyson got to cut her cord. She was so Beautiful and perfect. I can not even believe how blessed we were with this labor. The blessings just kept coming. After everything settle down we asked the nurse kinda how scary was it with the blood and everything cause all she told us was she needed to get here ASAP. and she said they had the cart out in the hall and she had stuff in her pocket ready to do an emergency C Section. My placenta was pulling away from the uterus which was making her heart rate go down from less oxygen. So such a blessing i dilated from a 6 to delivering in a half hour not very common. I love my Dr but it was a blessing to have Dr Bierer deliver and he also said he hit EVERY green light on the way which he never does:) We are so blessing not only with that but to finally have our baby girl here. She has been such a sweet baby in our home we couldnt ask for anything better. Sorry so much for a short version.

Our little family right befor we left for the hospital. Everyone was still half asleep:) I already miss my huge belly!!

Mommy and my little miss:)

We are now a family of FIVE.. Wow thats really wierd but i LOVE it!!!

Daddy LOVES his little girl. Its the most amazing thing to see him with her. She already has him wrapped around her little finger.

Maylee Joy

Dax cant get enough of her. We have to watch him close cause he wont stop kissing and loving her!!

Kaldyr was a little nervous at first but he has now warmed up a little. He would rather just look at her:)

Isnt she just so sweet!!!

My 3 kids!! The boys look HUGE now.

Little miss we love you so much and are so happy you are apart of our family! You are perfect in everyway. Stay little dont get big to fast please:)

She has arrived...

Update...

2012-04-09T17:26:00.009-07:00

Time for a little update on the family! Busy like always and so excited for summer to get here.

We took the boys to the circus a couple months ago and they loved it. I actually liked it alot more then i thought i would. The elephants were my favorite like always:)

For St. Patty's day i made the boys green pancakes for breakfast. They thought that was pretty cool. I think we have made blue ones since then to:)

What a SPECIAL day this was. Wow talk about an emotional spiritual day in the temple. My brother and sister in law finally got their little man sealed to them. It was such an amazing day to make it all complete. Little Miles has been such a joy in our family we are so happy to finally have him sealed. I cant even imagine the feeling Colby and Cayley have. They are such special parents! We love you baby Miles:)

Easter... Its one of my favorite holidays! I love when Easter comes around. We didnt get to have Kaldyr with us Easter morning so it was just little Daxman. But he was so excited to find his Easter basket.

We had such a busy day. We got up and did our Easter stuff and left the house by 8:30. We had Two baby blessing that day and a family party. But it was a fun day. Dax loved the Easter egg hunts. This one was at Grandma and Grandpa Stokes house.

Feeding the cows. We were shocked at how brave he was to feed them all by himself.

Isnt he just the cutest:)

Today was such a nice day outside. It actually was REALLY hot. I am so glad i am almost done so i dont have to go through the heat of the summer like i did with Dax. Tyson got out the big ball and let the boys play in it.

They had so much fun but it was so hot inside the thing their little faces were bright red when we got inside the house. They would live outside if we let them.

Working on the Baseball swing:)

Kaldyr starts T-ball again soon so we have to get him ready. I love that he is now old enough to start playing sports. Its so fun to watch him.

We finally got Kaldyrs 5 year old pictures done:) Even though he turned 5 in November. But they turned out so cute. My sister Ashley takes the boys pictures for us and they always turn out so cute. Thanks a bunch!!!

He is such a cute little stinker. We just love him to pieces!!!

And last but not least TODAY!!!. 4 Years ago today i married my best friend!! I seriously cant believe its been 4 years. I feel so lucky/blessed to be where i am today. Tyson has been such a wonderful part of my life. Not only is he an AMAZING husband but he truely is the best Daddy to my boys and i can not wait to see him with our baby girl! We were talking the other day about our anniversary coming up and he said did you ever think that when we dated in high school 8 years ago that we would ever be married and be having our 3rd baby? And honestly i never would have guessed:) But i am so happy thats where we are! I am so happy he is mine and so happy he is the daddy to my children i couldnt ask for anyone better. Thanks for everything babe I love you so much!

This last weekend we celebrated and went to Salt lake to the Cheesecake factory (My all time favorite place to eat) walked around the new City Center and then to the Jazz game. It was such a fun relaxing night. I love spending time with just the two of us!

So excited for April to be here. April is my favorite month of the year and that means we are that much closer to meeting our little princess:)

Moving right along..

2012-03-29T10:19:00.004-07:00

Wow i cant believe i am already 32 weeks pregnant with my SECOND baby.. That seems a little bit scary to me:) So excited but just as nervous.. Time has seriously gone by so fast this time around i am not sure i am going to be ready i feel like i should only be like 20 weeks. But it will be great:) I saw this little thing on Tyson's cousins wifes blog and thought it was kinda fun..Thanks Katie!!

How far along? 32 Weeks only 8 more to go.
Total weight gain: Probably to much:)
Sleep: Depends on the night. I wake up alot and cant ever get really comfy but thats expected.
Best moment this week: Not just this week but always feeling her moving is the best EVER!!
Miss anything? Sleeping on my belly. It kills me to not!
Movement? All day everyday. Seriously it makes me nervous that she will never sleep cause she moves all the time day and night. I LOVE IT!!
Food cravings? Not really. it changes all the time. right now its chips and salsa but i'm sure next week will be different.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nope doing good now.
Symptoms? Large, Contractions, pressure all the fun things at the end.
Belly button in or out? Kinda both. depends on where she is at in there. its mostly kinda out but not bad.
Biggest fear for the future: Having 3 kids.. I hope i dont end up in the loony bin:) Just kidding but i do fear for delivery just hoping everything goes smooth and she is healthy.. I cant wait. i'm nervous but so ready for this baby girl to come meet our family. So excited to have a little princess in our home:). Things have gone really good so far with this pregnancy i hope it keeps moving along.. Life is great:)

My favorite part about being a mom....

2012-03-15T18:21:00.001-07:00

POTTY TRAINING.... Its Terrible!!!!!!

I need some help...

2012-02-15T11:33:00.000-08:00

Ok friends i need a little bit of help. When i was pregnant with Dax i had about a million and one girl names...And now that i am having a girl i have NONE. I have a couple in mind but not one that i just love. Anyone have any suggestions??? I know i still have 3 months but i'm starting to stress about it a little..

The results are in.....

2012-01-04T09:10:00.000-08:00

We are having a baby GIRL!!!. I seriously can not even believe it! We are so super excited and ready for the big change. I am not sure i will know how to act with a girl:) 2 boys i think i am almost pro at them..(maybe not quite) but still a GIRL.. Pink, bows, dresses, princesses, flowers wow this will be fun:). I was a little worried about Tyson if it was a girl but i think he is excited to (unless he is just being sneaky) but he seems to be excited just as much as us. Our families are all really excited also we have already got a couple of cute little outfits from them they just couldnt wait.. I feel so blessed to be able to have this sweet baby coming to our family! Couldnt be happier:)

The end to our 2011 year!!!

2012-01-02T17:59:00.001-08:00

Well as you can see (those who actually read our blog) its been a while since an update. With being pregnant, sick, no energy and the holidays i never got around to it. BUT now that things are calming down and im feeling 98 times better i will do a fast post.

Kaldyr had a birthday!!! He turned 5. Wow cant believe that we have a 5 year old. Kaldyr loves his birthday he couldnt wait for it to come so when it get here he was pretty excited..

He wanted a scooter so when he opened it he was pretty happy. He had to go out and try it out right as he opened it:)

He wanted a spiderman cake this year!!

We took the boys to Disney on Ice for his birthday! So we got them their snowcones and they were good to go. I was really hesitant on taking Dax thinking he wouldnt sit very long through it but i was SO wrong he actually sat through the whole thing only getting down once. He sat through it better then Kaldyr did. So it was a fun little family night for us:)

Their new favorite movie is incredibles. Kaldyr is now making us call him Dash:) Do you love the blue lips..

Here we are time to put up the Christmas tree again. Its one of my favorite times of the year:)

Tyson got a new TV for Christmas(early) so me and Dax had a little fun in the box while he was putting it together.

We went with my family to see the lights in Ogden. It was fun but REALLY cold.. I Hate being cold. But the kids had fun..

For family night with my family we made sugar cookie Christmas trees. Dax was pretty proud of ours! We sure missed Kaldyr making these.

Christmas morning waiting for Mom and Dad to let them go see what Santa brought them. They couldnt stand it any longer.

Its so fun now that they are getting older and understand. They make Christmas morning feel like it did when we were kids..

Kaldyr loved his "DUDE" Shirt..

Tyson's parents got the boys bunk beds for Christmas. They absolutly love them. They think its fun to go to bed now..We will see how long that lasts. Now we can start getting the room ready for the baby:)

My sweet hubby had BIRTHDAY!! 26!!! Wow we are getting old.. I am so lucky to have such a sweet husband he is so good to me and our boys! So lucky to have him in our lives. Hope you had a fabulous day babe. We love you!! ( His birthday is on New years eve so this was about 11:45 when we were all almost asleep)

Kaldyr got to help Dad shoot the gun at 12:00. I think it scared him alittle but was super excited he got to shoot the real gun!!

Me and Dax waiting to go inside we were froze!!

The kids blowing their horns and banging pans to bring in the new year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We were so blessed to have such a wonderful,Healthy,Safe and fun 2011 i hope and pray that this new year 2012 we will be blessed the same! It shoud be an exciting year for us with having the new baby join our family we cant wait. Tomorrow is our big ultrasound to make we are having a happy healthy baby and we will hopefully find out if we are getting a brother or a sister:) The boys are pretty excited. Kaldyr is for sure its a brother (i think dad put this in his head). But we will see:) Just hoping for a healthy little stinker... Life is great!!!

Yep that's right...4+1=5

2011-10-27T18:32:00.000-07:00

I guess we are completly CRAZY.. And are adding a new little person to our family:) So excited and nervous all in the same feeling! 5 seems like a big number for our family but it will be so much fun. Baby is healthy and growing fast. Its weird how much faster you grow on your second pregnancy.. The boys are SO excited and think its a boy and they have named him ELK:) funny!! But we will see hopefully we will find out by christmas..

August came and now its gone!!

2011-09-12T18:21:00.000-07:00

We started out the Month of August swimming at Grandma Dixie's pool.. We love to go swim there but we cant ever seem to find time to get there. But its great when we do the kids have a great time it always a fight to get them out!!

We sure do have 2 studly little boys:)

I cant even tell you how happy this makes me when i get home from a little girls night out and find this.....

The boys had made a fort with EVERY SINGLE blanket in my house. It was a huge mess but i LOVED it. My boys love their daddy so much. We are so So lucky to have such a wonderful daddy! Daddy and Dax were out like always when there is a movie on and Kaldyr still WIDE awake:)

We have got 2 beautiful baby boys this month.. It has been so much fun to love and snuggle them and then give them back to mom when i am done..

My sister Ashley and her little family welcomed little Ike Alan Parker to their little family on August 3. Such an amazing thing to experience the birth of a baby. Such a miracle!!

Then on August 24 little Miles Jay Holmes was born!!. My brother and his wife Cayley have been waiting such a long time for this little guy to get here. They were able to adopt this sweet baby boy and i cant even explain the emotions that came with him. He is such a precious thing and and love him to pieces!!

This is baby Miles and Ike. they are exactly 3 weeks apart. Can you believe the difference 3 weeks can make. You dont realize how much they grow till you put them together. We love these babies so much.

We took a little trip to Bear Lake for the day with my mom and dad and sister and her kids! lots of fun. The kids loved the water and this little raft. Tyson drug them aroung forever on it.

Kaldyr and Papa Mick on the wave runner. He thought it was pretty cool.

Dax didnt have a life jacket that fit him good enough so he didnt get to go. These boys love their Papa Mick!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BABY IS 2!!! I cant even stand it. His birtday is so bitter sweet for me. It makes me seriously SO sad that he is growing up and getting big but its so fun to see him grow and learning new things. He is such a smart little boy!

I cant even explain how much i love this little guy! He is such a blessing in my life and couldnt be happier to be his mommy!

He was so excited about his birthday. I had him all excited all week for it! He loved all his presents and especially loved his birthday cake!! Its so crazy to think i have a 2 year old!! But i love it...

Our BUSY summer so far....

2011-07-28T18:41:00.000-07:00

We have had a fun BUSY summer so far! I LOVE SUMMER TIME!! This is going to be a super long post so enjoy:)

I could leave the boys out in the sand all day long and they wouldnt get sick of it. They play so good together when they are outside i love it..

Kaldyr graduated preschool!!! We are so proud of him he has done so good at school this year. He looked so cute with his graduation hat on he made.

This is his preschool teacher.. Isnt she just so cute. I loved her!!

Dax has found his new favorite thing. The farm toys!! He lines them all up on the window and will play forever.. I can now actually get something done in my house.

CAMPING!!! we made a slide for the kids out of a big pipe. They loved it and i kinda enjoyed it myself it was kinda fun!!

Dax was watching Tyson shoot his bow!! He thinks its pretty cool.

We took a trip to the zoo. My sister Ashley and her little family came with us. I hadnt been to the zoo forever so it was kinda fun.

Kaldyr and the girls:)

We bought the kids season passes to lagoon so we have been a couple times this year. I dont know why but i really like lagoon. So its fun to take the kids.

They ride most everything that they can. I thought for sure they would be scared on most rides but they do so good.

Kaldyr did his first year of baseball this year. It was so fun and cute. He did so good, tyson was able to coach him so that was fun for him. He is such a good little hitter!!

MORE camping. We have done A LOT of camping this year and it has been great. I LOVE IT!! Its nice to have our own fourwheeler so we can just go and do whatever whenever we want. Dax would ride it all day long if we let him. And its the best way to get him to sleep for his nap:) He doesnt like camping naps.

Isnt my little man so stinkin cute! Oh i could seriously kiss his cheeks off!! I love this picture of him. He is a true little camper:)

WEST HAVEN DAYS!! Tyson works it every year so its always part of our summer fun. This year Kaldyr was going to do the muttin bustin but at the last second he decided he didnt want to so he just did the stick horse race again..

My cute little cowboys!!

And he won second place. He was so excited about his HUGE trophy!.

We did the parade at Farr West this year for the 4th. He kids loved throwing all the candy!! Better for me they were throwing it instead of eating it:)

My handsome boys..Waiting for the fireworks!!

More camping and fourwheeling!! This little fourwheeler was the BEST thing we have ever bought. They are going to ride it till it dies!!

Daddy is teaching him early!! He hopes to have 2 hunting buddies one day:)

He loves his daddy!! do you love the boots and shorts:)

What a nerd:) but he is so funny!!

For the 24th after we got back from camping we went to Ashley's to do some fireworks for the kids!!

And thats our summer so far!! We still have a couple more camping trips planned and we are also having TWO new baby boys within the next month.. My sister Ashley is having her this wednesday and my brother and his wife cayley are adopting theirs the end of Aug we are so so excited. I can hardly wait to love and kiss these babies!!

My new love!!!

Big boy potty....Surgery...Easter...DISNEYLAND!!!

2011-05-03T12:43:00.000-07:00

Well i guess its time to update again... We are always busy and dont have a computer so i can only update when i go to my parents on my lunch break which isnt very often so anyway here is our month of April and its been pretty fun!!

Dax has decided he wants to potty on the big boy toilet. So i got out Kaldyr's to just give it a try and i put him on and let him sit for a bit before he got in the bath and he actually went:) I was shocked..He was so excited (not that i really think he knew what he did). So we try everytime before bath and see if we can get him trained early:)

The end of April Dax got tubes in his ear. I was really really nervous even though i knew it was a simple simple surgery i still was really nervous. Tyson had a class that day so he couldnt go with me so my sister Ashley came with (Thanks alot) I woulnt have been able to go alone. He did awesome he left me in the wagon smiling and happy and when i went back literally 15 minutes later to get him he was smiling and happy just a little tired:)

This was right after..Cute little buddy!!

EASTER....

We had a good easter this year. The Easter bunny was REALLY good to us this year:)
Coloring eggs...

Easter morning! The boys found their Easter baskets.

AND....The Easter Bunny brought us some "Easter bunnies":) They were so cute and excited when they found them in the tub..

Daxon's name is pebbles but if you ask him what his name is he tells you boo boo:) Kinda funny. so that just might be what it ends up being.

And Kaldyr named his Rudy..I have no idea where he got that from but he came up with it really fast..

DISNEYLAND..

And the best part of our month was DISNEYLAND... Tyson's little sister got to dance there so we were able to go with them. It was so much fun and i think the boys had a great time to.. Mostly Kaldyr. Dax is still a little to young so he was kinda hard but we had so much fun..

I was a little worried about the plane ride with Dax but he actually did really good.

Hunington beach! The boys loved that.

I thought this picture was really cute. Great Grandma and Grandpa Stokes and Grammy and Poppy in the background.

Best little buddies..

Do you think i could get Dax to take a nap..NOPE

GOOFY!!!

FINALLY...I had given up on trying and he got tired enough and crashed..That was a good feeling:)

Tough guy!

Kaldyr LOVED the big rides. He would have rather gone on those then the little kid rides..He was upset if he wasnt tall enough for a ride.

I LOVE LOVE this picture. SO CUTE!! Pluto was Daxon's favorite..

Sulley was MY favorite and i didnt even get my picture with him.

A bugs life ride!

My mister Incredible..

Kaldyr thought these guys were Alvin and Simon:) I dont know that he has ever seen Chip and Dale.

We even took Kaldyr on Tower of Terror. I was really nervous to take him and he LOVED it.

He was so funny. His little legs flew up so high. I was shocked he liked it so much!

We had a great time but next time we go the kids will have to be a little older:) Thanks for taking us Grammy and Poppy!!

Little boys are the BEST!!!

Ok so i am sure i will absolutley love a little GIRL if i ever have one BUT I love my BOYS so much i cant even stand it. They seriously make my day every morning! I feel so blessed to be a mommy it really is probably one of the best blessings in my life! Anyway the reason i started this post was Kaldyr has been so funny and sweet this last little while so i had to share what he said the other day. So he has been telling everyone, my friends, our family, his little friends(cousins) That i have a baby sister in my belly named "Suzie" ( Now i PROMISE i am not pregnant) So where he got this from i have no idea but anyway he has told everyone this and when he says it he is totally serious. If you ask him who is in our family its Daddy, Mama, Kaldyr, Dax and sister Suzie in mamas belly. So he asked me the cutest thing the other day...

KALDYR: Mamma?
Me: What buddy?
KALDYR: Can i catch sister Suzie when she falls from heaven?
ME: Laughing..You sure can buddy:)
I thought that was so cute. But i honestly have not a clue where he got all this from so i am thinking my next baby is a girl and she will probably be nicknamed "SUZIE"

Christmas all the way to Valentines!!!

2011-02-15T12:39:00.000-08:00

Wow Once again its been a really long time since i have made a post.. So i guess i will start with our Christmas Holiday! Its really nice because My family does stuff on Christmas Eve and Tyson's do there thing on Christmas morning so Christmas Eve we go to my Grandmas house and ever since i was little it has a been something i look forward to EVERY year. This year we did a little different and played "Minute to Win it" It was lots of fun. I wasnt very good but it was still fun..

Quincie, Jovie and Dax in their Christmas Jammies (Kaldyr got to spend Christmas Eve with his mom this year but we missed him lots)

Christmas Morning..Dax was really excited because for the whole month of December he wasnt allowed to even touch the presents under the tree and so he thought it was really fun to get to tear them open:) he was fun this year!!

We got Kaldyr at 1:00 so we had Dax wait to open most his presents till brother got there so they could open them together..

I dont know who was more excited Dad or Kaldyr???

Dax loved his new chair:)

Do you think Santa spoiled us?? I sure do..

They absolutly loved the tool set and they look so cute!!

We had a big sleepover with the cousins at our house..WOW that was a crazy night with 4 WILD kids. They had lots of fun though so thats ok.

Tyson turned the BIG 25... On Dec 31 we had some friends over and did much of nothing and ate some yummy food. My Husband is getting OLD:)

Bath time is a favorite at our house. I think Kaldyr would take 5 baths everyday if i let him.

He is seriously a fish.. He loves the water.

Tyson put his pants on his head and told him he looked like a puppy with long ears and he wouldnt take them off. He is a nerd just like his Dad:)

Me and Kaldyr made sugar cookies for Valentines Day!!

Our final project.. He was proud!!
And it doesnt matter how clean my house is and how many times i pick up these balls they are right back out all over the house. One of his first words was ball. He has one in his arms at all times. HE LOVES THEM!!

Once agian life is good!! I love my family I love my Life!!!

Much needed post...

2010-12-07T12:32:00.000-08:00

Well Christmas is just around the corner and i am just posting about Halloween:) Oh well life gets to busy to stay caught up.. We had a really fun Halloween ( i even dressed up this year and i hate halloween) an even better Thanksgiving and we cant wait for Christmas. I have had our tree up since the week BEFORE Thanksgiving and i love it. We had to keep Dax from destroying it at first but now he does really good.

I even got Tyson to dress up with us

My cute little monkey Dax!! I thought for sure he would hate wearing it especially the hat but he did so good with it i was impressed.

My Handsome little Dallas Cowboy football player.. He loved his costume and still wears it often:)

The first of November we started craft night with the girls. It was so much fun i look forward to the next one. We missed Ash:( We made blocks that say Give Thanks. They turned out really cute.

Kaldyr turned 4...I seriously cant believe he is already 4 it is crazy. But he is the most cutest/sweetest 4 year old i know.. That boy will be my loving sweet boy. He is always saying sweet things. I love him to pieces..

His Daddy let him shoot a racoon on his birthday. He was pretty excited(well maybe dad was) and we had to put his balloon by it:)

We took him to see Disney on Ice. Left Dax home so i could enjoy it to:) Kaldyr had so much fun. I love to see him get excited about things..

Grandma Stokes took them to the Jazz game.

Stinker bum Dax.. He seriously is so funny. I took him to his 15 Month check and he was only in the 10th percentile in his weight and 25 in his height..He is just a little guy. But his doctor said he is very smart for his age and being a boy.. I seriously could bite his cheeks off i love him so much!!

I love to see the boys playing together..They are best buddies i love it..

Like always making a mess...

Life is good..

~FALL UPDATE~

2010-10-14T12:48:00.000-07:00

Our summer is over and we are starting into our fall..I usually dont like fall very much but for some reason i am loving it this year!! I usually HATE Halloween but for some reason i am so excited for it this year. Maybe cause my boys are getting older and can enjoy it to?? Who knows? Anyway These pictures are a little bit out of order but oh well.. We went to the corn maze with Tyson's family for family night and the boys had lots of fun..Not in the maze but all the stuff outside before the maze..(well Kaldyr actually loved the maze to).

Dax hated these things but we made him do it:)

I love my boys! They are the greatest!!

Uncle Tj and Dax

Best little buddies..They are messy and dont match:) Boys are great..

A couple weekends ago we went up camping with Colby and Cayley cause Colby was doing the deer hunt and Tyson go to do a antelope hunt.. we all loaded in the truck and went looking for an antelope. we saw some and Tyson hiked up the mountain, we waited and he shot it. loaded it on the four wheeler and brought it back. The whole time Kaldyr thought it was the coolest thing UNTIL...Tyson got back and it was bleeding from its mouth and then he didnt know what to think, he was actually quite scared. but it was fun for him to see his daddy hunting cause he is always wanting to go with him. Dax he really didnt care:) But we had a fun weekend..Thanks Colby and Cayley for letting us go with you!!

Daxon and Oakley.. Dax doesnt really know how to play with girls yet. He tackled her a couple times, tried to rip out her bow. He wanted to play with her like he does with his brother. Hopefully one day he will learn:)

He is getting brave on his slide.. I'm a little nervous.

Thats a little update on what we have been up to the past couple weeks...

August 31st 2009 came and went to fast....

2010-09-11T18:53:00.000-07:00

I know i am almost 2 weeks late with this post but i couldnt not do it:) My little Dax Man turned ONE on the 31st of August...Can i just tell you what a bitter sweet day that was!! I seriously can not believe it has been a year since we welcomed this sweet baby to our family. He has seriously been such a blessing to our family.I did have a little break down that day but after i got it out i was ok:) Its so much fun to see him grow and learn new things but it makes me sooo sad that he is growing up so fast. Daxon was seriously the best baby i am scared to have another one for the fact that it might not be as good and easy as Dax was. But i did say when he was a BABY meaning birth to about 9 months and then he got a little more challenging:) He started getting kinda naughty like you would expect from a 18 month/2 year old..(little bit of an attitude) Its ok though we still love him and he really still is such a good little guy. From about 2 weeks old Dax has smiled all the time, we dont go ANYWHERE that he isnt smiling at everyone that walks by. He definatly loves his big brother..and they play so good i love it. When Kaldyr is home its the best cause they play and i can get something done. They are the best buddies!! I told everyone that Dax would be walking by his birthday and he actually started walking ON his birthday. I had to work that day and when i went to go pick him up from my sister he showed me his new trick i was SO excited and especially cause it was on his birthday..He still is a little wobbly but he does pretty dang good. Anyway i am so grateful that my heavenly father chose me to be Daxon's mommy its the best blessing. Being a mommy is the most rewarding thing ever and especially when i get to be one to two HANDSOME boys. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAX MAN WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

We did his birthday in John Deere and my wonderful sister did his pictures and made his invitation! They turned out so cute i absolutly LOVE them. Thanks Ash!!!
Here are a couple of my Favorite:)

SuMmEr 2010

2010-08-26T17:31:00.000-07:00

Wow I can not believe that the summer is pretty much over and school has started again. WHERE DID IT GO?? Our little family has had a really fun summer though so i guess thats ok. The boys are getting big and growing up to fast. I cant believe my baby will be 1 in a week:( its so fun to watch him learn and grow but it makes me so sad how fast the time goes. So anyway here are some of our summer from July till now.. Enjoy its really LONG....

We spent the 4th of july morning with my family at the parade and Red Robin and we spent the rest of the night with Tyson's family at his Grandparents with all the cousins..It was a really fun day. We missed Kaldyr this year he got to spend it with his mom!!
Dax loves to help Papa mow the lawn and it gives mom a little break for a minute:)

He is isnt helping Papa he is tearing up the flower bed

We had planned a camping/fourwheeling trip with Tyson's family that we were really excited about but as we were leaving with all the trailers hooked on with the fourwheelers someone turned in front of Tyson's parents and wrecked the truck along with everything else:( SO... We had to do a change of plans which was ok cause we got to go to the cabin instead. Its like a 4 hour drive but its so worth it. Its so pretty up there we have such a good time. So even though our trip started bad it ended great..

Every morning we would wake up and watch out the window down the mountain and watch the deer. The boys loved it. i love this picture of them:)

We went down to let the kids play in the river and just as we got down there it started to rain. so this is everyone waiting for the rain to stop.

Aunt Tate and Kaldyr playing catch.

Riding his fourwheeler

They have this cute little bath house there to take a bath. They thought it was pretty cool.

Tyson made some yummy dutch oven chocolate cake..Its the best

They made forts upstairs with all the mattresses. Kaldyr loved it but Dax was a little scared to go in it.

We finaly got to stop and play in the river on our way out

Dont we look lovely:)

We love going to the cabin but only make it up there about once or twice a year. We wish we could go more often. we are lucky to have such a neat place to go.

Dax loves to bath with the girls..Or i guess its more like they like to bath with Dax..

We got to go swimming at Grandma Dixie and Grandpa Rj's house..

We need to get something other then a pink tube:) But he still looks handsome..

Eating a popsicle after swimming. Aunt Ashley is ALWAYS prepared..I need to learn from her.

This is my most favorite picture of my boys... I think they look SOO stinkin cute. oh i just love it.. They love eachother:)

The 24th of July rodeo..This boy LOVES LOVES rodeos. He will seriously sit and watch the whole thing..Give him a slushy and he is good to go..

Dax FINALLY got his first tooth at 10 months:) and it wasnt even a front one it was a side one. WIERD..But cute!! You can barely see it. Its funny!

Everyone at the 24th of July Parade in Ogden. Tyson was supposed to be there but as we were walking out the door to leave we noticed our puppy having puppies so he got to stay and help..SO anyone who wants a cute Shorkie puppy we have some:)

Little miss Jovie May broke her arm standing on one of Daxon's toys..Its kinda cute on her though..

After the parade we went back to Grandma Sheri and Papa Micks(my parents) and played in the sprinklers. The kids had a blast..

Dax loves the water..Pink again. My family was used to all girls till my boys if you cant tell!

For Family Night with the Egbert's we went to the fish farm. It was actually kinda fun to catch a fish..I had forgotten and Kaldyr loved it but only if he didnt have to touch the fish.

Kaldyr's first fish and thats as close to it as he was getting. He was funny!!!

Daddy made him get a picture and he was not happy to get that close..

But Dax wanted to kiss his..Daddy would have let him if i would have.

Me and Daxon went with my family to Castle dale to the Castle Valley Pagent.. Its kinda like the Manti or Palmyra Pagent but its about the Pioneers. Its about 2 hours long and i only seen 30 minutes of it and Dax got really really naughty so i had to stand in the parking lot holding him the whole time..But it was fun before looking at all the cool things. I would suggest everyone goes. It was alot of fun and good family time.

Papa Mick and the kids on the wagon.
I even milked a cow..It was sick
Waiting for the pagent to start.
Dax loves to drive with the girls in the PINK BARBIE jeep...
We are sad the summer is ending but have to say its been a fun one. I love summer time and am not looking forward to winter..

~Summer activities have finally arrived~

2010-06-29T12:20:00.000-07:00

Wow i never thought summer would ever get here but it sure has come to our house... I hate the heat but i love all the summer activities we do. My sister Ashley lives by the Riverdale park and they just put in a cool new splash pad. Her, Dwight and the girls called and invited us to go play with them. It was lots of fun and the kids loved it. The girls and Dax were whimps but you can see Kaldyr LOVED it..

Thats about as close as Dax would get without crying. But aren't they such cute brothers??YEP...Dax didnt like it. The water was cold and there was a little breeze..
As long as there was no water he was happy!
Kaldyr thought it was so funny to spray everyone..
After the splash pad we went back to Ash and Dwights and played with more water on the tramp. Kaldyr still isnt so good at jumping so he was on his bum most the time:)

Dax found a new favorite toy..The slide..
You can tell why his Daddy calls him "Cheeks"
This is what we did on Fathers Day while Daddy took a nap to pass the time:) we got a little bored but they loved to bath together..
When Daddy woke up we went and played at the park.. I love this picture!!
He loved the slide i would just be walking up to the top and he would start laughing..

We put Daxon in the West Haven Days baby contest...

He won Cutest Personality...Fits him good:)

Playing at West Haven Days..

Kaldyr, Tahler, Quincie

Kaldyr, Jovie, Quincie...This is about the only thing Jo would go on with the kids:)

Loves to wear his dads glasses

We put Kaldyr in the stick horse race just to see how he would do thinking he probably wouldnt even do it cause he gets embarrassed when people are watching him..BUT...He did AWESOME we were so shocked..It was so cute he did it like he had done it 100 times before that. He told me on the way over "Momma i dont want to ride my stick horse i want to ride a real horse that runs fast" it was so cute.. And he looked so dang cute with his cowboy clothes on..

He loved watching the rest of the rodeo..He thought it was the coolest.. He sat at the fence like this the whole rodeo..

HIm and Quincie also did a chicken chase..They were scared at first so i had to go with them then after wanted to do it again.

And our little Daxon getting so big and getting into EVERYTHING:) But we love him..

We love summer and have alot of fun things planned......

Dax always makes this funny face when he gets scared its so hilarious..Tyson had turned on the drill in the garage so i could get his face. I love it!!

I have to move all my stuff off the bottem shelf to the top or he will break it all.. He loves to play on it.

Our little Dax got sick with roseiola fever..I had never heard of it before. But he got a really high fever between like 103.3-102.6 for 3-4 days then broke out in a rash for a couple days..He was a sick little guy i felt so bad..

He was back to his happy self and getting into everything after a couple days
