More fun times...

Just a couple more posts and I should be all caught up... for now anyways.

My Kids love their dad! Once he walks through the door they are all demanding his attention, and they wrestle and they play, they have so much fun together. Kyle you are such a good dad, we are lucky to have you!

Oh my Sophie... How I love her spunk! I think her new nick name should be "me too" that is the story of her life right now. What ever Bailey has or is doing, then Sophie wants to do it too. Shes a good little girl and is very loving. I just wish I had more one on one time to give to her.

Bailey has always been a sweet heart, and she is so good with her little sister, they are starting to play pretend more and more together and it is so fun to watch .

These are some picture of a day we decided to play in the leaves.

Dax was a little unsure what to think about it all at first...

Bailey took these pictures! She loves to take pictures and has asked Santa for a camera for Christmas this year, I think he might be bringing one for her... She also asked for a BIG bean bag, but unfortunately Santa called and told me that he just doesn't have room in his sleigh this year... She took the news okay and has asked for a unicorn pillow pet instead...

Dax is so much fun! He just had his 1st birthday (pictures to follow) it goes by so fast. He is now walking all over, its still a little shaky but he is getting really good at it.

He is also getting into everything! I put my bucket of flour (with out the lid of course) on the floor for a minute not thinking about it and 2 seconds later this is what I found.

So I promptly put the lid back on the bucket but left it down on the floor because I wasn't done using it yet. So one might ask how he went from some flour to....

well this....

need I say more?

We put Bailey in an indoor soccer league this year. Its the first time she has played. She is the only girl on her team, but that doesn't seem to bother her too much. She does... OK.... most of the time she just runs around blowing kisses to Kyle and I. There will be a pack of kids running after the ball and then here comes Bailey kind of dancing her way over waving and blowing kisses... its so funny. I have to remind Kyle that she is only 4 and its okay if she doesn't win (not that they even keep score) He keeps yelling, kick the ball Bailey, focus... Eventually she will run by and put her finger to her mouth and say dad shh.... little does she know this is just the beginning. Poor thing she totally got my attention span, I'm so sorry! Its quite entertaining to watch her play. Although I do have to admit that this last game she did pretty good and she even ran "with the pack" and kicked the ball a couple of times. In an effort to help her be more aggressive Kyle was telling her she just needs to Karate (we had just watched karate kid) her way into the pack of kids and get the ball. Well the next thing we knew she was running around pretending to karate chop everyone... lol... I told Kyle, he needs to be careful what he says...

this is her cute little team

my cute little soccer player...

Honestly I really don't know much about the rules to soccer, other then the obvious ones, I guess we will learn as we go.

We took the kids to see Santa, one of Kyles favorite things to do... not really. We thought for sure that Sophie would freak out, but she did really well and she even told him what she wanted for Christmas... nany! otherwise known as candy. She still only asks for candy. Smarties are her favorite, she takes after her Nana on that one. We only had to wait about an hour in line this year.

The first 15 min or so of the line was outside, and it was freezing cold.

Dax was not about to wait in line for that long so we took turns playing on the side with him.

He kept trying to crawl under the ropes and get to Santa.

And when we got closer he was waving to him... it was so cute

I swear I left the room for 2 seconds to grab something, I came back and this is what I found (that's Oreo by the way) again I ask how did this happen....

need I say more?

For Thanksgiving we took the kids to build a bear. Sophie always tries to steal Baileys dog so now she has her own, she loves it.

and Bailey got this rabbit, which she has named "little baby unicorn!"

what we have been up to

Well its been so long since I posted something that I didn't know where to begin, so be prepared for a few post trying to catch back up.

Here are some pictures of us while we were in Pioche for Labor Day.

all the grand kids
The Donohue Crew

We bought a pass to the Zoo for the year. The kids love all the animals but their favorites are the train...which lasts like .2seconds...

the bird show

Its pretty amazing what the birds can do....


oh those were the days when Dax would take a pacifier... all three of my kids have never really loved the pacifier and by six months they refuse to take it any more.


They LOVE the carousel!

Luckily Kyle is awesome and likes to ride with the kids, sadly the older I get the more I struggle with motion sickness. Mom I am sorry I was such a selfish child. I begged and begged you to go on the roller coaster with me in Disney land until you finally went and then you where soo sick... I get it now. Pretty much I would be so sick from this sad little ride. So frustrating because I love roller coasters.

Kyle was getting so frustrated with me because I couldn't time the picture right, in my defense he chose horses that where in the inside so I had to dodge all the other people, but I managed to get a few good ones in.

these are just some silly pictures of my silly kids!

Rub a dub dub, my three kids in the tub!

new family photos

My sister and I got together and took family pics. I took hers then she took mine and then I took the kid pictures! Not too bad... One day I am going to learn more about Photography... one day

Heber Valley Train

Here are some pics to go along with the post below.

The Crew

I love him in this hat!

Lovin' on the grandparents!

so cute

Check out those eyes!

Why is it impossible to get them both to look and smile at the same time?

One year older...

Well amongst all the craziness my husband turned a year older, we are now officially the same age, for the next three months anyways. Happy Birthday Kyle!! Your still sexy as ever!!

So Kyles sister just bought a new home and the yard still has to be put in so there are a few weeds to pull and Kimber asked Bailey if she would come and pull the weeds with her but Bailey said I don't have my Dora gloves and shovel they are at Nana and Papas house so I just cant help you. So Kimber went to Pioche for the 24th and she got Baileys gloves and shovel and Bailey was sooo excited to go help her Aunt pull weeds she couldn't wait so Kimber picked Bailey up and they had a sleep over so they could pull weeds and pull weeds they did... for about a half hour :) and then they played! Kimber is an awesome aunt! Her and Chris brought Bailey back home and we all had a birthday Dinner for Kyle! It was actually the day before his birthday. Then my sister Paula happened to be in town the next day and was nice enough to watch our kids while I took Kyle out to dinner, my kids also love her... All of our aunts are pretty awesome. It was nice to have a little time together! It doesn't happen too often.

Then I ditched Kyle and met my family in Midway (its by Park City) Okay I didn't mean to ditch him but he had to work. Each year the boys back pack into the mountains for the week and the girls meet up and go shopping and what not. This year Kyle couldn't get the time off so he missed some of the fun... Like on Thursday we all went on a train ride. It was in Heber and was about an hour and a half ride on this old train that took your around the Valley and then stopped and had "robbers" high jack the train for a minute... which to be honest mostly just freaked out all the kids but they gave them chocolate candy so they were okay in the end. It was a really fun ride. My mom bought all the kids conductor hats and Daxton looks SO darn cute in his, I loved it. I am trying to figure out how I could do a photo shoot with him in his hat. Kyle felt bad he missed that day but the next day we went back to school shopping for my neices and he didnt feel so bad about missing that one... We ended the week with a day on the lake on Saturday... Kyle did get to join us for that one of course we didn't bring my camera for that one, I always forget. My sis and bro in law just bought a boat so we helped them break it in. It was lots of fun, all the kids got to ride on the tube they all wanted to ride with Uncle Kyle, even Bailey rode on it which she liked until the water started splashing in her face. ( If you don't know she hates water in her eyes, its a battle every time she takes a bath, you would think it was toxic poison and not water the way she yells "my eyes, your getting it in my eyes" which I usually reply with "really, you'll be okay and then I hand her a wash clothe to hold over eyes and then the world is right again.) Sophie loved it, she loves to get dirty and she is quite good at it too. She ran around the beach and played in the water then ate some snacks which eventually ended up with dirt on, but it didnt bother her too much, shes so much fun, her personality is just blooming. shes going to be a headstrong little one, but thats okay, I can be the same way on occasion. I thought I would let Dax sit in the sand and let the water slash on him which he was cool with but then he reached down and grabbed a huge handful of dirt and tried to eat it... silly boy. Speaking of Dax he said "mama" for the first time yesterday!! which is his first word! Weather or not Kyle will admit it he heard it too. Bailey and Sophie said "Dada" first so its nice to win this one.. although its pretty funny now that my girls say mom all the time sometimes I wish they couldn't! lol So much fun!
