Hello Sunshine

One really nice thing about St. George is the spring weather. We have taken lots of time to enjoy the sunhine and warm temps. We went down to my moms house this last weekend to spend some time with Jen and Clayton. We dyed easter eggs, lounged in the pool, cooked, ate, and checked out the new H&M in Caesars Palace. We also ate at this bomb diggity restaurant called Max Brenner. Try it!

My mom is a seriously legit gramma. She completely takes over with the girls and spoils us all rotten! She is such a gem and is watching the girls while Matt and I take off on a cruise for a whole week! I am so lucky to have her. We love you grannie.

The girls and I went to main street today. They love it. Check out how adorable they are...

Stop It

Simone: 1st two pictures. Dylan: last two.

I am getting so used to saying the following..."My kids are driving me insane," or another one is this... "what am I going to do with these two?" I need to STOP IT, now. My kids are the most adorable girls in the world. They are smart and sweet and so full of personality. Yes, being a mom is hard at times but having a baby/child is such a unique and irreplaceable experience. You never get back the time lost. I am going to be grateful for my little angel babies and look at the good things they bring me. After all, I chose to have them.

Dylan and Monie,

You are my world and I wouldn't trade either one of you for anything!

Love, Mom

I would trade the biting though, MONIE!

Recents

We went on a little visit to grammas. Dylan is three now so she got the promised "Bulid a Bear." Not promised by me...by my mother. I think this store is... well, plain ridic. My opinion. Dylan loves this bear. She named her Annelyse. Weird. D takes her potty, swings with her, wants to bathe with her, and "curls" her hair. She even wanted her own photo shoot with her. I don't have very many recent pictures of my girls together because well...you can see. Simone is 25 pounds and is the most aggressive child ever. She only has one more chance at the gym daycare. She attacks kids smaller than her. They are about to kick her out. She goes to time out at home and she understands that she is in trouble. Doesn't care though. I can't wait for this stage to be over. She is even mean to Dylan, making her cry at least once a day. We call her a sour patch kid. Really sour one minute and then...BAM, sweet little angel saying "Lu You."(love you) She is smart. Says so many words and trys to repeat everything. Adorable as can be. We love Monie girl to pieces, when she is nice.

Park City

We went to Park City. It was a really fun time. Dylan was really thrilled to build a snowman, so daddy helped her. This was a great little family getaway. I wish I would have taken more pictures. Darn it. We stopped at aunties house too. She was sick. Hope you are feeling better Rae. Matt and I got to go to a Jazz game, it was a really fun date. Thanks for babysitting auntie. Now we are so excited for our adults only trip. May 1st!! Yes! Sorry girls, you will enjoy gramma Sara's house instead.

9:18am

The girls and I have been feeling a bit under the weather. Monie has an ear infection and Dyl, a cough. We have been doing a lot of this the last couple days.

Three

My little one turned 3 on the 13th. I am in shock that I have a 3 year old. She is amazing, smart, funny, sassy, adorable, mischievious, wild, stylish and SO loveable. I am so proud to call her mine. Dylan had a great birthday weekend full of visits from friends, grammas, aunties, uncles, cousins, grampas and of course, Cinderella!! Thanks so much for everyone who came to share this special time!

Dylan,

You are my angel. I love you more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for being such a great helper, a great big sis and mommas BFF! You mean the world to me.

xoxo, mom

I told Dylan we were heading to grammas house. This is what she came into my room wearing.
