What In the World??

WOW!!!


Ok, So it has been awhile since I have posted last!! I have been a busy bee!!! June went flying by and now it is almost middle of July. What in the world happened to summer?? In June we have like 15 birthdays (well so it seems more like five and three fathers to celebrate) so June always goes by so fast. The fourth of July was great. I HAD to be in the Riverton Parade with the cheerleaders, I would have rather been sitting with my family. I Made Niquie a cute little red white and blue tu-tu (mostly to prove to myself that I could make it) and she looked so dang adorable in it. The last week I have been at cheer camp. 350 cheerleaders surely can make you go insane!! It is nice to be home!


My little Angel Girl is Seven Months old!! In my last post I was saying that she was getting two teeth well they came in but not two teeth THREE teeth on the bottom. I know so weird. She started to scoot awhile ago and now she can army crawl super fast and is starting to actually crawl. She gives up after awhile becuase she is faster at scooting.


My brother had his third little boy on Thursday!! He is super cute and so little. Even though he was over seven pounds, compared to my little chunky monkey he is tiny!!

That is all I can remember for now. here are some pictures of whats been happening.

Having Fun with Aunt Eliza!!

Time Flies...

WOW!!! It has been one month since I have posted anything!! Nothing really going on to post about!! Denique turned six months old last week!! WOW I can't believe I have had my little Princess for half a year already!! She is getting so big!! She wants to crawl but doesn't quite get it. She can pretty much go from sitting to on all fours but then she gives up and starts to scoot!! She is cutting TWO teeth right now, so she has been a little on the whiney side. We have started her on solid food and she is loving it! She loves the graduate puffs (that melt in their mouth) she eats them like crazy. She can pick them up and get them to her mouth but she doesnt really get to let go. She just sucks on her hand and puff. It gets gross. She is Starting to get HAIR!! She likes to jibber jabber. She talks all the time. Erik says he heard her say Dadadadada but I refuse to believe it!!
I think I am going to get some more family pictures taken soon. So I will post them when I decide to get them done.
I am so excited to finally have summer here!! Erik had his 26th birthday 3 days ago!! My parents gave him a fire pit for the back yard so we will have everyone over to roast some marshmellows!!

Our trip to St. George

Our trip to St. George was a busy one, but still got to have lots of fun!! Here are some pictures of what went down. )besides the competition where I didnt take any pictures) We did swim twice but didnt want Niquie in the sun to long so only stayed about an hour both times. And she was mostly in the shade. She didnt like swimming too much, but I think it was the water was FREEZING!! I didnt even dare to get in because it was so freaking cold and Erik only stayed in for like five minutes. So we mostly just got her feet wet and hurry and took a picture!!

She Loves To Go On Walks, She Always Falls Alseep!! Going Down The Slide With Daddy!! Loving The Nice WeatherDefinately Chubby!! But So Dang Cute!!Scoping Out the Pool!!!Catchting Some Rays!! (I really just took the picture and then put her under shade!! Everyone in the pool was like give her a diet Coke!! They all thought she was cute!!) This Pool Wasnt Too Cold. She Actually Liked Being in it For a Few MinutesBikini Time!! Love it!!So Precious!! I love to Capture these kind of Moments!! Getting Big! Holding her own Bah-BahShe has really been into the dog lately!! Izzy can just walk past her and she will giggle!!My Little Cheerleader already!! She does so good. She stays really tight!! It is the funniest thing. She knows now that she gets attention from her trick and she will smile and squeel when she is in it. She can hold that for a long time!!

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!!

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!!
