Easter and Random pictures

Well its been a few weeks since I have posted anything. Easter was great we spent time with both families and Niquie looked so cute in her Easter dress. I just wanted to post some pictures of the weekend and other things that have been going on. I started feeding Niquie rice and she loves it. She sits up by herself and rolls over all the time. She loves to smile and laugh. Her keys are her favortie toy but she got some new toys for Easter and she loves those too. My mom gave her this little piano toy and she loves it because she can make it play the music. She loves her puppy, she will just look at her and laugh and smile. it is really cute!! We got her 4 month pictures done but I will not have them back until next week. And then she will almost be five months!! oh well. I will still try to post them when I get them.

We are leaving to mesquite this weekend. I cant wait to take her swimming. I will post some pictures of that when i get back!!

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.

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!!

Thats all for now. Hopefully I will stay on the ball about posting. Sorry I have been such a slacker!!

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!!!

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!!

The outfit that Grandma gave her!! So dang cute!! Mommy Time!!! More Mommy time! Sweet little chubby face!! Tummy time! She is so good at holding up her head!! Two Months old!! Getting big!! More tummy time!!

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.

Here is her naked picture for one month!!
