Denique is one lucky girl! She is going to have so many friends growing up!!
It seems just about all my friends are pregnant!! Which is super fun!! Here how it goes.
Tarah (woosley) Peacock has Sawyer Peacock, Cami (Russel) Buhler has little Oaklee
Ericka (Strom) Jamison has Ryker Heidi (Farnsworth) Madsen has Sadie, I have little Niquie

Sabrina Horsley Has Gabriella, Carlye (Bradshaw) Morgan is to have Baby Jax tomorrow
Cassidy (Weiler) Miene to have baby boy in April, Alesha (Wood) Allred to have baby girl Gracie in May, Deidre Strom to have baby boy in July, Carly (Gotberg) Brown to have baby Girl London in July, Monika (Briggs) Smithson to have undetermined baby in Oct. and Sarah (Bateman) Olson to have undetermined baby in oct. as well!!




If I forgot anyone I am terribly sorry, But as you can see it is very hard to keep all of these in my head!! It seems like every week I tell Erik "guess who is pregnant?" it is fun to watch all my friends start their families. Jake and Shalise you are next!! Haha!!




Anyways I hope everyone had a great St. Patricks day!! Here is Denique in her green outfit!! I made the bow she is wearing. I am proud of it. It was the first bow I made so it turned out pretty decent.

March Already!!!

So it looks like I haven't posted for a month now!! So let me update everyone on what has been going on!! Valentines day was really fun. We went down to my parents condo in Mesquite NV. We left on thursday and came back on Monday. It was great little Vacation. My parents have a Golf cart down there that is all decked out. Erik took me and Niquie on a ride it was kinda cold but still fun. Niquie loved to look around when we were driving on the golf course. She liked it. My parents took us out to dinner on Valentines. It was such a great dinner. I think all of us order steak. Cant get better than that!!
Ryker was released from the hospital that thursday before Valentines. He was doing so much better until we found out last night he has a double ear infection. Poor little man cant catch a break.
Niquie is getting so big!! She is fun and loves to smile. On Feb. 10th (last time a posted) she actually laughed for the first time!!! It was so cute and now she loves to laugh!! She is such a good girl.
About two weeks ago Erik left on "the boys trip" (where my dad takes my brother and brother-in-laws) to Nascar. Erik left on wed and didnt return til Monday night. Needless to say, harder than I thought to be a single mom!!! It was fun though to be with her all the time. Though my house was not very clean when he got home because when your the only one trying to care for a little one not much time is left to do other things. I realized how much I would need the help of all my family if Erik wasnt around. I had a babysitter almost everyday for Denique when I went to work. Thanks for all of you that helped me. I hung out with my mom and sisters alot which was fun. We were going to scrapbook but I left early because I was tired and had church the next day at nine. But I was so happy when Erik came home. I missed having him there with me everynight to fall asleep with!!
That brings us to this weekend. On Sunday Erik had to teach our Gospel Principles class. He taught on the Atonement. He did such a great job and I am so gratefull for his great and loving Spirit. We went to my mother-in-laws that night for dinner, and we celebrated me and ethans birthdays. It was fun and she had a yummy cake(as always) and Ice cream and then we opened presents. They are so sweet and gave me some travel bags for make up and what not, and money and a hummingbird feeder for our yard. Then on Monday night we celebrated my Birthday with my family. Usually when my family gets together it is really loud and out of control. But this time it was really quiet and peaceful. Coby, Jeremy, Berkley and Boston all stayed home because they were sick. Ericka had to take Ryker to the InstaCare to get Ryker checked for ear infections, so she was gone for a little while but it was still nice to spend time with everyone that was there. Thanks for all the great gifts as well. I got some (needed) clothes and a book to put all my scrapbook pages in for Niquie. Lots of earing (also needed) Taylor Swift Fearless CD and some other little things!! So Today (my real Birthday) Erik, My mom, niquie and I all went to the Draper Temple open house!! What a great way to start a birthday!! It was beautiful inside. It was truely a great thing to see. I cant wait for Oqqurih Mountain to open up as well. For the rest of the day I am just going to sit around til about four oclock til I have to go to work. The big 22. Hopefully it is as good as when I was 21. That will be hard to beat since I did have my little angel last year!! Me and Niquie getting ready to leave to our Valentines Day Dinner!Sun Tanning outside!! Love Mesquite weather!!
On the Golf Cart with Daddy!!
She Loves T.V. That whole weekend in Mesquite Niques and I watched HGTV!!
At home watching T.V. with daddy. She sat on top of him!! She is so stinkin Cute!! Look at those fat little feet!!

She loves to smile at her Dad!! He truely adores her in everyway!!

Poor Little Ryker...

My Nephew Ryker has been at Primary Childrens Hospital since sunday afternoon with RSV. The poor little man is only four months old. Hopefully he can come home today only if he can keep his oxygen levels up on his own. He has been on oxygen since sunday night and the doctors still have to suction out his lungs because of stuff in them!! I will keep you updated on the little guy but if you could keep him in your prayers that would be great!


Little Ryker

On a higher note Denique slept through the whole night last night!! She usually wakes up twice and the last few nights it has only been once and then last night she didnt wake up at all!! She is such a good sleeper!! We will see if it lasts though!!



As I said in my last post that I would post some more pictures so here they are!!!






Denique and Ryker playing

Big (but little) Smiles

SO SO SO Sleepy!! I love that she sleeps with her mouth open!!

Whats been going on??

Well it has been a few weeks since my last post so I am here to update everyone!! Life is good at the Brown household. Erik's work is really busy and he is pulling in a lot of business for them. He is a good salesman for sure. I am been super busy with cheer. Both the studio and Riverton High are getting ready for competition. I have been at cheer everyday for the last two weeks it seems. Denique is getting so big. She was two months on wed. She is so fun and is growing to fast. We went to her two month appt on thursday. She is 75% in height and her head and 95% in weight!! We laughed super hard that she is almost off the charts!! But boy do we love those chunky cheeks and thighs!! She is also smiling so much. She was smiling at the nurse (before the shots that is) and the nurse didnt even have to say anything!

I can't believe how fast time is going by. january has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Here are some pictures about what has been going on the last few weeks!!

Blessing Day!!

On Sunday Jan. 11, we blessed little Niquie!! Erik did an amazing job!! I am so lucky to have such a spiritual man!! We enjoyed spending the day with most of our family and friends!! After the blessing we went to my moms house for a breakfast buffet. We made a breakfast quiche, bagels, muffins, fresh fruits, juice and milk!! It was delicious!! Thanks to all my family who helped me put all this together!! What a special day it was!!! Denique was wearing the dress I was blessed in almost 22 years ago. It was really special to Erik and I to have her wear it!! Here are some pictures of that day and some I had taken in her dress two weeks ago!! She is such a chunk now!! I love her cheeks!!












Thanks to Carlye for taking her blessing pictures and also her one month photos.

This Is for Cami Buhler!!

Well A few days ago I had just got done feeding and burping Niquie. She was being just so dang cute and usual, and as usual I am always kissing her. So I leaned in to give her a kiss on her little lips and she spit up right in my mouth!!! (now unlike Cami I spit it out immediatly) but it was not that bad because it was just breast milk and so it just tasted kinda sweet. But there was no way I was going to swallow!! But when it happened I thought of Cami instantly!! Haha Yucky!
