Update...

Time for a little update on the family! Busy like always and so excited for summer to get here.

We took the boys to the circus a couple months ago and they loved it. I actually liked it alot more then i thought i would. The elephants were my favorite like always:)

For St. Patty's day i made the boys green pancakes for breakfast. They thought that was pretty cool. I think we have made blue ones since then to:)

What a SPECIAL day this was. Wow talk about an emotional spiritual day in the temple. My brother and sister in law finally got their little man sealed to them. It was such an amazing day to make it all complete. Little Miles has been such a joy in our family we are so happy to finally have him sealed. I cant even imagine the feeling Colby and Cayley have. They are such special parents! We love you baby Miles:)

Easter... Its one of my favorite holidays! I love when Easter comes around. We didnt get to have Kaldyr with us Easter morning so it was just little Daxman. But he was so excited to find his Easter basket.

We had such a busy day. We got up and did our Easter stuff and left the house by 8:30. We had Two baby blessing that day and a family party. But it was a fun day. Dax loved the Easter egg hunts. This one was at Grandma and Grandpa Stokes house.

Feeding the cows. We were shocked at how brave he was to feed them all by himself.

Isnt he just the cutest:)

Today was such a nice day outside. It actually was REALLY hot. I am so glad i am almost done so i dont have to go through the heat of the summer like i did with Dax. Tyson got out the big ball and let the boys play in it.

They had so much fun but it was so hot inside the thing their little faces were bright red when we got inside the house. They would live outside if we let them.

Working on the Baseball swing:)

Kaldyr starts T-ball again soon so we have to get him ready. I love that he is now old enough to start playing sports. Its so fun to watch him.

We finally got Kaldyrs 5 year old pictures done:) Even though he turned 5 in November. But they turned out so cute. My sister Ashley takes the boys pictures for us and they always turn out so cute. Thanks a bunch!!!

He is such a cute little stinker. We just love him to pieces!!!

And last but not least TODAY!!!. 4 Years ago today i married my best friend!! I seriously cant believe its been 4 years. I feel so lucky/blessed to be where i am today. Tyson has been such a wonderful part of my life. Not only is he an AMAZING husband but he truely is the best Daddy to my boys and i can not wait to see him with our baby girl! We were talking the other day about our anniversary coming up and he said did you ever think that when we dated in high school 8 years ago that we would ever be married and be having our 3rd baby? And honestly i never would have guessed:) But i am so happy thats where we are! I am so happy he is mine and so happy he is the daddy to my children i couldnt ask for anyone better. Thanks for everything babe I love you so much!

This last weekend we celebrated and went to Salt lake to the Cheesecake factory (My all time favorite place to eat) walked around the new City Center and then to the Jazz game. It was such a fun relaxing night. I love spending time with just the two of us!

So excited for April to be here. April is my favorite month of the year and that means we are that much closer to meeting our little princess:)

Moving right along..

Wow i cant believe i am already 32 weeks pregnant with my SECOND baby.. That seems a little bit scary to me:) So excited but just as nervous.. Time has seriously gone by so fast this time around i am not sure i am going to be ready i feel like i should only be like 20 weeks. But it will be great:) I saw this little thing on Tyson's cousins wifes blog and thought it was kinda fun..Thanks Katie!!


How far along? 32 Weeks only 8 more to go.
Total weight gain: Probably to much:)
Sleep: Depends on the night. I wake up alot and cant ever get really comfy but thats expected.
Best moment this week: Not just this week but always feeling her moving is the best EVER!!
Miss anything? Sleeping on my belly. It kills me to not!
Movement? All day everyday. Seriously it makes me nervous that she will never sleep cause she moves all the time day and night. I LOVE IT!!
Food cravings? Not really. it changes all the time. right now its chips and salsa but i'm sure next week will be different.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nope doing good now.
Symptoms? Large, Contractions, pressure all the fun things at the end.
Belly button in or out? Kinda both. depends on where she is at in there. its mostly kinda out but not bad.
Biggest fear for the future: Having 3 kids.. I hope i dont end up in the loony bin:) Just kidding but i do fear for delivery just hoping everything goes smooth and she is healthy.. I cant wait. i'm nervous but so ready for this baby girl to come meet our family. So excited to have a little princess in our home:). Things have gone really good so far with this pregnancy i hope it keeps moving along.. Life is great:)

??????

HOW DO I GET MY CHILD TO POOP IN THE TOILET????? He will go pee just fine no accidents at all but when he has to poop NO WAY!!! He is scared i guess..ANY help please:)

My favorite part about being a mom....

POTTY TRAINING.... Its Terrible!!!!!!

I need some help...

Ok friends i need a little bit of help. When i was pregnant with Dax i had about a million and one girl names...And now that i am having a girl i have NONE. I have a couple in mind but not one that i just love. Anyone have any suggestions??? I know i still have 3 months but i'm starting to stress about it a little..

The results are in.....

We are having a baby GIRL!!!. I seriously can not even believe it! We are so super excited and ready for the big change. I am not sure i will know how to act with a girl:) 2 boys i think i am almost pro at them..(maybe not quite) but still a GIRL.. Pink, bows, dresses, princesses, flowers wow this will be fun:). I was a little worried about Tyson if it was a girl but i think he is excited to (unless he is just being sneaky) but he seems to be excited just as much as us. Our families are all really excited also we have already got a couple of cute little outfits from them they just couldnt wait.. I feel so blessed to be able to have this sweet baby coming to our family! Couldnt be happier:)

The end to our 2011 year!!!

Well as you can see (those who actually read our blog) its been a while since an update. With being pregnant, sick, no energy and the holidays i never got around to it. BUT now that things are calming down and im feeling 98 times better i will do a fast post.


Kaldyr had a birthday!!! He turned 5. Wow cant believe that we have a 5 year old. Kaldyr loves his birthday he couldnt wait for it to come so when it get here he was pretty excited..


He wanted a scooter so when he opened it he was pretty happy. He had to go out and try it out right as he opened it:)



He wanted a spiderman cake this year!!

We took the boys to Disney on Ice for his birthday! So we got them their snowcones and they were good to go. I was really hesitant on taking Dax thinking he wouldnt sit very long through it but i was SO wrong he actually sat through the whole thing only getting down once. He sat through it better then Kaldyr did. So it was a fun little family night for us:)

Their new favorite movie is incredibles. Kaldyr is now making us call him Dash:) Do you love the blue lips..

Here we are time to put up the Christmas tree again. Its one of my favorite times of the year:)

Tyson got a new TV for Christmas(early) so me and Dax had a little fun in the box while he was putting it together.

We went with my family to see the lights in Ogden. It was fun but REALLY cold.. I Hate being cold. But the kids had fun..

For family night with my family we made sugar cookie Christmas trees. Dax was pretty proud of ours! We sure missed Kaldyr making these.

Christmas morning waiting for Mom and Dad to let them go see what Santa brought them. They couldnt stand it any longer.

Its so fun now that they are getting older and understand. They make Christmas morning feel like it did when we were kids..

Kaldyr loved his "DUDE" Shirt..

Tyson's parents got the boys bunk beds for Christmas. They absolutly love them. They think its fun to go to bed now..We will see how long that lasts. Now we can start getting the room ready for the baby:)

My sweet hubby had BIRTHDAY!! 26!!! Wow we are getting old.. I am so lucky to have such a sweet husband he is so good to me and our boys! So lucky to have him in our lives. Hope you had a fabulous day babe. We love you!! ( His birthday is on New years eve so this was about 11:45 when we were all almost asleep)

Kaldyr got to help Dad shoot the gun at 12:00. I think it scared him alittle but was super excited he got to shoot the real gun!!

Me and Dax waiting to go inside we were froze!!

The kids blowing their horns and banging pans to bring in the new year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We were so blessed to have such a wonderful,Healthy,Safe and fun 2011 i hope and pray that this new year 2012 we will be blessed the same! It shoud be an exciting year for us with having the new baby join our family we cant wait. Tomorrow is our big ultrasound to make we are having a happy healthy baby and we will hopefully find out if we are getting a brother or a sister:) The boys are pretty excited. Kaldyr is for sure its a brother (i think dad put this in his head). But we will see:) Just hoping for a healthy little stinker... Life is great!!!

Yep that's right...4+1=5

I guess we are completly CRAZY.. And are adding a new little person to our family:) So excited and nervous all in the same feeling! 5 seems like a big number for our family but it will be so much fun. Baby is healthy and growing fast. Its weird how much faster you grow on your second pregnancy.. The boys are SO excited and think its a boy and they have named him ELK:) funny!! But we will see hopefully we will find out by christmas..

August came and now its gone!!

We started out the Month of August swimming at Grandma Dixie's pool.. We love to go swim there but we cant ever seem to find time to get there. But its great when we do the kids have a great time it always a fight to get them out!!

We sure do have 2 studly little boys:)

I cant even tell you how happy this makes me when i get home from a little girls night out and find this.....

The boys had made a fort with EVERY SINGLE blanket in my house. It was a huge mess but i LOVED it. My boys love their daddy so much. We are so So lucky to have such a wonderful daddy! Daddy and Dax were out like always when there is a movie on and Kaldyr still WIDE awake:)

We have got 2 beautiful baby boys this month.. It has been so much fun to love and snuggle them and then give them back to mom when i am done..

My sister Ashley and her little family welcomed little Ike Alan Parker to their little family on August 3. Such an amazing thing to experience the birth of a baby. Such a miracle!!

Then on August 24 little Miles Jay Holmes was born!!. My brother and his wife Cayley have been waiting such a long time for this little guy to get here. They were able to adopt this sweet baby boy and i cant even explain the emotions that came with him. He is such a precious thing and and love him to pieces!!

This is baby Miles and Ike. they are exactly 3 weeks apart. Can you believe the difference 3 weeks can make. You dont realize how much they grow till you put them together. We love these babies so much.

We took a little trip to Bear Lake for the day with my mom and dad and sister and her kids! lots of fun. The kids loved the water and this little raft. Tyson drug them aroung forever on it.

Kaldyr and Papa Mick on the wave runner. He thought it was pretty cool.

Dax didnt have a life jacket that fit him good enough so he didnt get to go. These boys love their Papa Mick!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BABY IS 2!!! I cant even stand it. His birtday is so bitter sweet for me. It makes me seriously SO sad that he is growing up and getting big but its so fun to see him grow and learning new things. He is such a smart little boy!

I cant even explain how much i love this little guy! He is such a blessing in my life and couldnt be happier to be his mommy!

He was so excited about his birthday. I had him all excited all week for it! He loved all his presents and especially loved his birthday cake!! Its so crazy to think i have a 2 year old!! But i love it...
