Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

This week lets just say has been very uneventful! That's because I have been a loner for the past 4 days. Scott went with the school basketball team to Kirksville, Missouri to play in a basketball tournament against the other A.T. Still University school. So Taycee and I have been doing a lot of shopping and walking around outside to pass the time. Scott gets home today and I am so ready to have him back!

On another note my baby is 11 months old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Its a bitter sweet feeling to think that next month she will be turning 1.

Some things that Taycee does at 11 months are:

Crawls everywhere

Loves her baths

Frightened of the Vacuum

Pulls herself up onto everything

Blows Kisses

Gives High Fives

Knows where her Belly Button, toungue and nose are

Won't stand alone even though she could if she wanted to

Gets into everything

If you pretend cry it breaks her heart and she starts crying too

Still has no teeth (Scott is scared he is going to have to make dentures for her)

You know your child is a copy cat when....

You are sick with the flu barfing in the bathroom while she is outside the door standing up against it trying to make throw up sounds also. Seriously as I was puking I couldn't help but laugh. Yes, the flu bug made it to everyone in our family and I am pleased to say that made it through it and survived!

Taycee is also fascinated with blowing bubbles right now.

Road Trip/Flu Bug

Scott had a week for spring break and so we decided we would take a road trip back to Idaho and see family and friends. It was so great to see everyone and we had such a great time. It was exhausting but way fun. Can you believe I forgot my camera though? So I have no pictures of our trip. We stayed for a week. Taycee was such a trooper and did an awesome job riding in her carseat for 28 hours but....

when we got home last night I put her to bed and at about 4 AM she woke up throwing up! Talk about the saddest thing ever. So I changed her sheets put her back down and she threw up again. She did it about 5 times. The next morning she was still a little sick but tonight she has gotten a lot better! Bad news...Scott has it too! I am praying that I don't come down with it tomorrow!

Catch up

So I told myself that I was going to do better at updating my blog, but as you can tell I haven't done a very good job. This is a much needed catch up on my part. A lot has happened from the last post so this is a combined post of everything that has gone on. My mom recently came a week ago and spent a week with us. It was nice to have some help doing things and we actually got a lot done. We painted the whole house. It was quite a job but one that needed to be done so I am so glad that we did it. I couldn't have done it by myself (pictures to come soon).

Scott had Friday off of school so we decided to go and do some site seeing in AZ. We went to a place called Fountain Hills. This is the picture of the fountain that is so famous. It held the world record until 2002 for the highest shooting fountain. It shoots about 580 feet in the air. It was a pretty cool. At the park that surrounds the fountain was the world frisbee golf tournament so, we also got to watch some professional frisbee golf players (didn't know that was such a big deal).

A while ago we took the kids to the Phoenix Zoo. It was so nice to get out with some friends and enjoy the beautiful weather before it turns scorching hot again!

Taycee loving the Zoo.

Valentines Day- Grandma Holm sent Taycee a cute outfit.

Taycee and I decided to make Scott a huge Rice Krispie Treat heart.

This is what happens when you leave your child alone for about 2 seconds with her dad watching T.V. I walked into the bathroom and of course all the toilet paper was off the roll and she just sat and looked at me like "Come on Mom! This is so much fun!"
And finally a long hard day of school for Scott (and if you notice Scott has stolen one of Taycee's blankies and has claimed it as his own because he loves to twirl the ties on it)
