Kaylie was a poppy in the Wizard of Oz for dance! Her cousin Alexa was a tornado and jewel, it was soooo much fun!!!

Sorry these pictures are out of order The girls reactions to It's a Small World ride We had so much fun last weekend! We decided to take a trip to Disneyland. We told the kids but they didn't know what Disneyland was so there were no expectations, just excitement! We stayed at the Virgin River on our way down to California in Mesquite. Let's just say our room was worth every penny.....We went to

If I would have known what was going to happen today when I woke up I would have stayed home and made my girls snuggle me all day long!!!!!!!!!!! We went grocery shopping and both the girls were in the shopping cart sitting quietly in the back. I was looking at the dips Macey's has and turned around just in time to see Ashley trying to climb out of the cart, I couldn't get to her in time and her

So I'm really behind with my posts due to the fact that we didn't have the internet forever and our computer crashed and I lost my camera..... That being said so much has changed since this summer for our family. Ashley is getting so big and has such a cute personality! She is very different from her big sister! She loves to explore things and gets into a little bit of trouble at times. She is

Kaylie started taking dance at The Ruby Shoes Dance Studio where she is learning all kinds of skills! Her favorite part besides the actual dancing is getting ready for dance and then of course she stays in her "ballet-a-tard" all day! Thank you mom for taking these pictures for me since I lost my camera! This was her outfit of choice for her second dance class! Note that in her pose she is making

So I was just trying to remember what Kaylie looked like when she was Ashley's age. She was so adorable! I love seeing these pictures and remembering her like this. It seems like a lifetime ago. These pictures were taken in Washington DC.

Well we finally have the internet at home and my brother and my friend fixed my computer. I never thought I would become computer "retarded" but I don't know anything about computers anymore! Thankfully other people do! Wow, where do I start! We had an amazing Christmas! December was full of heartache and fun! My sister-in-law's dad passed away suddenly and Jeff's Grandma passed away as well. We

We finally went and had some family pictures taken yesterday and they turned out way better than I thought they would! We went at nap time, need I say more but the photographer was very patient! Ashley wouldn't let go of me the whole time but you can't tell! We even got a cute one of the girls together. I was holding Ashley way out to the side of me so Kaylie could hug her, I can't believe I'm

I've Been Tagged This is my first tag ever. I was tagged by Catherine, so here it goes:7 random and/or weird facts about me:1. I smuggled an Alaska Malamute Puppy on an airplane from Alaska to Utah. It was only four weeks old and I've never had a dog before so I had no idea how to take care of this poor animal! I smuggled it in a duffle bag that had mesh sides so it could breathe. The guy who

My sister-in-law took this picture of Kaylie & Ty and their neighbor Brynn all walking to preschool together.Kaylie has been dying to start preschool! She is going to My Garden of Learning Preschool with her cousin, Ty. Doesn't she look so grown up? I thought she looked more like a first grader! She went to bed early the night before and in the morning got up and took a bath. She wanted me to

We had soooo much fun in Canada with Jeff's family! Thank you Grandma and Paca for EVERYTHING! We flew to Seattle and rented a car to drive up to Canada. Getting there took a long time but actually the kids handled it better than I thought they would have. We stayed in Telegraph Cove, which is on the North end of Vancouver Island. It was so beautiful. We were there for our sixth anniversary. (I

My sister-in-law had this quote on her blog and I loved it so I'm going to post it too. It's from Marjorie Pay Hinckley:"As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think about your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey."

I had to write this down before I forgot. Last night when I was driving home from work with Kaylie & Ashley it started to rain. Kaylie stared at the raindrops for a couple of minutes and then told me that she doesn't like Jesus anymore. I asked her why and she said, "Because he turned into a bad guy." I told her that Jesus isn't bad and was a little bit worried as to where she heard that. I kept

After her bath, Ashley climbed up in her chair to watch a show. She just wanted to kick back and relax.Today was my nephew's baptism. We are so proud of Bryson for getting baptized! Kaylie asked me on the way home why Chris shoved Bryson under the water like that. I tried to explain to her that that is how you are baptized. She then said that she doesn't want to be baptized!

I can't believe that so much is done! I always notice houses now that ours is being built, I'm always looking at different stucco colors, stone colors, landscaping, fences etc.....There are always different things I like about each house I see. It's fun seeing ours come together. When it comes down to it I'm just so happy that we will have a place of our own! I hope we like the finished product!

Ashley is a curious little critter! She loves to crawl on ALL surfaces and loves to shred anything she can rip apart so obviously toilet paper is the coolest. It was really quiet the other day so I went to check on Ashley. She was helping us open all the toilet paper. What a sweet little helper!

Kaylie and I ran a race Saturday for Mother's day. It was a lot of fun and she did really well. She was a little stressed out that her cousins were beating her but we kept reminding her it was just for fun. She was elated when she got to the finish line and everyone was cheering for her and she got a medal. She is such a sweetie. We love you Kaylie!

Kaylie wanted to plan Ashley's birthday party. According to her you are supposed to wear costumes to all parties. She insisted on wearing one even though no one else did. Dad got her an equestrian outfit when they went to buy Ashley's present! She wore it the entire time. I'll have to get a picture of it to post later....Just got a lot of pictures of Ashley! Kaylie picked out the cake! We

Me and RuthJulia and IRuth, Julia and IMe, Margaret, Ruth, Kaylie and Ashley I got to go and hang out with my favorite Aunts and my cousin Julia this weekend! We didn't do much but we had a delicious lunch and just hung out. I loved seeing them! I just wish I could see them more often. Ruth and Julia you better find a race for us to do! Love you guys!

This may sound a little cheesy but I have to say it. I love our new prophet President Thomas S. Monson! I am Enchanted by him! He is soooo funny and he keeps such a stone face while telling his jokes which makes the story even funnier! However, my favorite part about his talk from Sunday morning was his concise, directed manner in which he simply stated that we are in a raging war against sin,

So Ashley is our little garbage disposal. Kaylie will eat as much of an apple as she wants and then pass it on to Ashley. Not only does Ashley love it, she will NOT let anyone take it from her. She'll take a few bites and then clutch it firmly to her chest if anyone gets too close. So funny!

Easter this year came too early in every sense of the word! I was completely caught off guard by Easter coming in March but then Easter morning my entire family was up at 3:00 am! Everyone was able to go back to sleep except mom of course. However, it was a beautiful day and the Easter bunny brought goodies! If anyone needs a treat come on over I think we have a year supply!

Ashley is so curious these days! She loves to put EVERYTHING in her mouth and I think there is some sort of electrical charge in her that draws her to the outlets on the wall. She loves to unplug the TV and then try to plug it back in again. She loves to push all the buttons on the remotes, pound on the computer keyboard, turn the TV on and off, which by the way drives Kaylie crazy, maybe that is

Kaylie wouldn't take this pink cowgirl hat off! She kept saying, "I wish I was a cowgirl and had boots and a hat, wouldn't that be so cool for Halloween!"We let the kids make their own pizza, it was really actually pretty good and EASY! Everyone ate their dinner that night!

Do you think Ashley is having fun? The new pink glasses! You'd never know by this picture that they were so sick! Remember The Parent Trap at the dance where she cuts her dress so her panties show! This cracked me up! Enough already! I spent 3 hours shoveling snow and ice off the driveway today and I'm ready for some sunshine!

I was just looking at pictures on our computer and found these of Kaylie, it seems like we've had her forever but really she is only 3! I can't wait to see how Ashley grows up now that we've had so much fun with Kaylie at every stage! Notice how daddy has changed too!

Crazy girls! Notice that she is putting something in her mouth! Anything but food. Always smiling!It snowed all day today! Ashley and Kaylie were really fun today. Ashley got her first pig tails, they didn't stay in very well but they were sure cute while they lasted. She has decided that she doesn't want baby food, she wants what we are eating. When I put her on the floor she will pick up

Who is that trying to get in the picture? DAVID is that you? Crazy faces! Our little 3 year old in her new dress ups that NEVER come off! "The best cake in the whole world!" Yeah right! Kaylie woke up Thursday morning and was so excited for her friends to come over and eat her birthday cake. "They'll think it's the best cake in the whole world mom!" I had to work so I hadn't planned anything!

Our dear little Kaylie will be turning 3 years old on Thursday! She says the craziest things! I don't even know where to begin so here goes:"Dad you're ruining my life!""Mom, I don't have boobs yet, I just have boob dots. See!" (As she proceeded to lift up her shirt to show me)."Ashley, you're my best friend in the whole world!""When I was a grown up and you were a baby....""Mom, why aren't you

We are soooo excited for tonight! Kaylie has picked out Santa's treat menu! She says he wants Oreo's and milk NOT Egg Nog! After all Oreo's are milk's best cookie :)We are hoping that Kaylie, Jeff and Ashley will get over their sicknesses today! Colds are a terrible thing to have for Christmas!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We are so excited for Christmas this year. Kaylie made sure that we put up our christmas tree and said we had to put "uniforms" on it. Aka..ornaments. She now knows the difference :) This morning we woke up to the best thing ever SNOW so it really looks like Christmas! We quickly put on our snow gear and went outside to make "Frosty the Snowman".

So I have started calling my children Zerg and Zork both used interchangeably. The question I keep getting is why? and where did these names come from? Do you remember the evil emperor Zerg from Toy Story? That is Kaylie....no explanation necessary....except when she's being sweet and adorable which really does still happen! (in glimpses). And why do I call sweet innocent Ashley these names?

We went to Alcatraz and to the Body Worlds II exhibit, which was amazing, and of course the Nike Women's Run Like a Girl marathon!

Well the hunt is over. After only the first four days the group was done. Tuesday night after being bit by an inmate and having to be treated for that I finally made it up to the mountains. The next morning was the season opening. That morning Doug Attwood (a Deputy that works with me) shot a deer at about 100 yards on the run. The rest of the day we didn't see a lot of movement. Next day in the

Kaylie and Ashley are both so much fun these days! Ashley is smiling and giggling more than ever and Kaylie is getting really good at making towers all by herself with the lego blocks and she can finally pedal by herself on her bike! Kaylie made this tower a few days ago and was so excited that she got it this tall without it falling over. She gets really frustrated when it falls over and yells

Four months old and demanding attention! Ashley is so much fun these days, she is always smiling and giggling and if you don't look at her she'll yell at you to get your attention. She rolls over and scoots more than I ever thought possible. She is always sleeping with her hands either completely sprawled out to the side or curled up under her with her cute little bum in the air. We took her to

Yesterday we got the call from Excel Eye Center that Kaylie's glasses were finally ready. When we picked them up she didn't seem to think things were too different she was just reveling in the novelty of the new glasses. We got in the car and drove to Burger King and as she was getting out of the car I guess she realized for the first time the texture of the pavement and parking lot. She didn't

Don't you wish your arms looked like this! I went to check on Ashley this morning while she was taking her nap. I don't know how she sleeps like this. It scares me! I keep changing her position and she ends up like this and I have to make sure she's still breathing! She won't sleep on her back so I tried putting her on her side and she always rolls over onto her tummy even when I prop something

I took Kaylie to the Pediatric Opthamologist today to get her eyes checked. She sits kind of close to the TV and holds her books close and is very clumsy. Just a precaution right? She is so blind! She is getting her first glasses! Maybe some of you will understand what it means to be 550 points farsighted and to have an extremely bad astigmatism in both eyes. AKA coke bottle glasses.

Innocent little thing!Today Kaylie bit Ashley! She left two sets of teeth marks on her leg, she isn't a biter normally and was shocked when mommy bit her back. After she cried and was sent to timeout in her room I went in to talk to her about what she did. She said she was sorry and then asked me if my mommy used to lock me in my room for being naughty, because that's what mommies do. So if

"For Heaven sakes mom you made me cry! It's not fair!""Don't be rude to me anymore, okay mom!"And the one that makes me laugh the hardest as we were reading scriptures tonight she wanted to tell me a story about Nephi and then one about "Sammy the Lammy" aka...Samuel the Lamanite! What a cutie.

Well I'm back to the great and dry state of Utah. Always nice to come home, especially when you can actually dry off after getting out of a shower. Three words can describe New Orleans in the middle of the summer- hot, muggy, and dirty. It was a good trip over all. The conference I went to was a training conference for the R.A.D. (rape aggression defense) and r.a.d. KIDS (resisting aggression

My birthday was about 2 weeks ago and my friend Stephanie made me a chocolate cake. It wasn't just any cake, it was Magleby's chocolate cake! If that doesn't mean anything to you then maybe you can't relate but it was sooooooo good. I grudgingly shared a piece with Jeff and a small sliver with Kaylie and I devoured the rest. Her mom helped her make it since she used to help make the desserts for

Jeff has been in Louisiana this week so of course we sent the camera with him. However, I have wanted to use it several times! Maybe we should each have our own.... Kaylie drew all over her arms the other day with her not so washable markers so she got in "trouble". She got sent to her room for a timeout. Yesterday after I got home from work she saw the stretch marks on my belly and said, "Who

We have been wanting to go camping forever! So instead of talking about it anymore we decided to just go. We called the Butlers and asked them if they wanted to come with us and we went. It was really pretty and we had fun but next time we go I think we'll go somewhere a little bit closer. Jeff wanted to show us Electric Lake since I'd never been there and show us where he is going hunting. Our

Today was a great reminder of what the fourth of July means to so many of us Americans. I love the American Flag and was so happy to wake up this morning and to see so many flags on people's lawns. I got up early and went for a jog around the temple and saw all the hot air balloons flying in front of the mountains. There were some cool balloons! I liked the pink pig the best. We always have a

Well it's a day late but none the less here it is. The one day a year that miss Julie Tracy can say "It's my Birthday". Julie has reached the magical age to which all women stop getting any older. She will now be forever 29. To you Julie, you are the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I can say that you are the most caring person I have ever met. You definitely deserve the happiest birthday

This past week Utah played host to the NSA (National Sheriff's Association) semi-annual convention. Sheriff's from all over the country came to receive training and to attend meetings of all sorts. With an event like this there are a lot of neat events such as shooting and golf tournaments, and O' the toys. Unfortunately yours truly was not able to attend. I was able to check out a very cool

I'm sure everyone has played one version or another of the I spy game when driving in the car. Kaylie and I always make sure to look for a bus, truck or a police car when we are out and about. Today I told her that we should look for a mini van. The imagination of a two year old is truly remarkable. She got this sad tone and said mom I think the "mini man" is crying for his mama! I laughed so

I mentioned earlier that Kaylie was a flower girl for Jeff's cousin's wedding. We are so happy to have Lindsee as part of our extended family. Congratulations Lindsee and Trevor! The reception was gorgeous and so was the bride! Of course the flower girls were cute too! They all had a little silver basket filled with starbursts to pass out to the guests. Kaylie, however, ate most of hers! One

Today the Law Enforcement Officers of Utah were saddened to learn of the murder of a fellow brother. A senseless tragedy took place in our back yard. Stephen Anderson a 22 year veteran of the Utah Department of Corrections was overtaken by career criminal Curtis Allgier. Allgier was able to wrestle a gun from him and as Anderson realized he had been bested, Allgier shot him in the back of the

Kaylie was a flower girl for Jeff's cousin's wedding so we took her to the store to get her some shoes to wear with her dress. She has been growing so fast that we can hardly keep shoes on her so we bought them really big. However, I think this will be the first pair of shoes that she actually wears out before they get too small. We can't get them off of her! The worst part about it is she wears

Okay, so this is my attempt at creating a blog. I frequently visit the Butler's and Lesue's blogs and they are fabulous! I am a bit nervous to do this as I am not a great writer and I'm not particularly funny but last night we had a little get together with some friends of ours and they encouraged me to just start one. We ate dinner, hamburgers, hot dogs...and all the other normal foods at a
