??????

I don't have soft checks to kiss. I don't yet have a name. You cannot hold my tiny hands nor whisper in my ear it's still too soon to sing a song or cuddle me so near. But all will change come May 28th for that's when they say I'm due. All I ask between now and then is patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait because of all the love we'll know. So as your waiting patiently, please pray lots of prayers for me. I cannot wait to be a part of a wonderful family!!

So, if you cannot tell I am having another baby! We are soooo excited to have another little one in our home! I don't know what it is just yet but I made the count down box blue cause that is what I am guessing=) I will find out probably after Christmas! Kiersi will be an awesome big sister, she all ready wraps her baby up in her banket and bounces it, when I ask her where mommy's baby is she points to my belly, so its fun! The pains have been worse this time than with Kiersi but I have not been as sick with this one, thats why I say boy=) but we'll see! Thanks D'laina for letting me copy the cute poem!!

Kiersi with santa

OK, so I a lame and kinda forget to put stuff, ok and little lazy and don't want to download all my pictures. But, Saturday morning our ward had a christmas breakfast and santa was there and this year Kiersi sat on his lap without any hesitation! Last year she freaked and this year she walked right up to him. It did help that he had a whole load of candy canes he was giving and she REALLY wanted one, but anyhow here are a couple of pictures!

Kiersi 18 months stats!/ family pics

These pictures were taken at my sister in laws reception, and my neice Heidi took them, she did awesome!! I love them!

Kiersi being silly!

Kiersi and Mommy!

So on Monday I took Kiersi to the doc. for her 18 month checkup and here are her stats:

17 lbs. 13 oz--- NO PERCENT AT ALL!!

Height---31 inches. 25-30 percential

head---17 1/2 inches-- 5 Percintal

My little girl is just as tiny as they come!! Last winter I went to Park City and bought a TON of winter clothes on sale and bought 18 and 24 months stuff, well THEY DON'T FIT!!!! I took them to my sister Jolynne's house yesterday and we had to put everysingle item on her so that Jolynne could adjust and take in and shorten etc. them all. So thankfully now she has clothes that fit her for the most part. Only one pair of pants couldn't be fixed, they were to decorative so I have no doubt she will fit into them next winter! =) THANKS JO!!!! I guess I need to learn to sew!

I love my baby girl and am so greatful to have her in my home, she is beautiful and I couldn' t have asked for a better little girl, although stubborn and all ready hitting the terrible 2's I love her more than I could have ever imagined!! I am blessed to be a mom and to be able to take care of my family!

I choose to do this why??

So I started preschool a couple weeks ago, which I love doing and enjoy having a little extra money to actually do stuff with =) But my 3 year old class is, well lets just say, NUTS!!! I have never had a 3 year old class this hard! I am exhausted after class every time! I feel like I am always yelling, well not yelling just being a little firm;) and these 3 year olds CAN NOT do ONE THING, they can't cut(its like they don't even know what scissors are) they can't follow directions, I tell them to do something and they look at me like I am a RETARD! I've done 3 yr. olds before and they at least knew a little bit and most of them by the 3rd or 4th week were fabulous with everything, not this class, I don't know that they will EVER get it. So, needless to say I'm telling myself I will NEVER do 3 yr. olds again, even though I most likely will =)
Anyway, I just needed to vent and if anyone has some advice for me you are more than welcome to send it my way! =)

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS!

OK, so I have seen a lot of people post things that their kids say on their blog and since Kiersi isn't really talking much I haven't, but this morning it was her actions that I couldn't pass putting on here. So we got out of the shower and I put her towel on and thankfully for me its that time of the month so before I even get her dressed that has to be taken care of =) so I got a tampon and Kiersi looked at me, pointed to the tampon box and crouched down and pointed, on her, where it goes!!! I couldn't believe she knew that much, kids are so dang smart!!! I guess her following me everywhere I go has taught her a little more than she needs to know!!! Maybe a little more graphic, but couldn't pass putting in on here, and since its kinda a journal for me I had to have it on!! =)

DISNEYLAND!!

OK, I finally remember to put out Disneyland pictures on here!! They are kinda random and not really in order, but thats ok! I took my clogging studio,(thats why in some pictures we all have the same shirts) they performed twice, once at Disney and once at California Adventure and did an AWESOME job!!
We had sooo much fun and Kiersi was awesome, I don't think I would wanna take her again until she is older, but she was pretty good!

Kiersi's favorite was Minnie, my sister Cyndi bought her a stuffed Minnie(is that how you would put it??) and she just holds it every where, she loves it!

I don't know who took this picture of Kiersi, but I just love it, she looks so stinkin cute in it!

This is inside Minnie's house!

There was not many rides Kiersi could go on, but in California Adventure they had a little part for kids, she LOVED it!

This one she was unsure of, it went in a figure 8 and then each "ladybug" went in a circle.

This was just before the Light Parade and she was tired and getting a little fussy so I bought this succer, she LOVED it.

Look at her hand, she is saying "ok" we thought it was funny!

This was Kiersi's FAVORITE ride, she went on it probably like 10 or 12 times.

This is the California Adventure Minnie, not as cute, but we had to get a picture with her!=)

Mom and Kiersi going to watch the Fantasmic!

Devin, Kiersi, Troy and Talmage with Mickey in his house! This was while I was backstage with My studio so I didn't get to go =(

Kiersi's first ride, It's a Small World, she wouldn't look at the camera, she loved looking at all the figures.

our new puppy!!

So my sister's dog had puppies and she gave me one!!!! She is a chorkie, it is a mix of yorkie and a Chihuahua! she is stinkin little and cute, I took her to the vet the other day and she is 1.5 pounds! I put her by the teddy bear so you can see how tiny she really is! I am working on the potty training, and its not too bad so far, I don't know if she actually understands, but she does bark in her kennel and I take her out and she goes, so we'll see! We named her Maizie!

Kiersi LOVES her and just lets her bite on her hand, she will just stick her hand in her mouth=) she has heard me say "no no maizie" and she will try and copy me and tap Maizie's head or nose like I do, its kinda fun to watch the two of them together! Kiersi is trying to give her one of her little bone things to chew on!

the zoo

Its not very often that Devin doesn't work on Saturdays so today we took the opportunity to take Kiersi to the zoo! she loves animals and had a great time! this is the girl giraffe......... This is the boy and girl, after she denied him! =) she kept rubbing her leg on his, it was pretty interesting to watch, but he gave up!

This is before, I know kinda sick, but it was really kinda funny to watch this happen, the zoo lady said that this can only happen for a girl giraffe 1 in 15 days, but as you can see in the picture above, it didn't happen =) there were TONS of people standing waiting for this to happen, but we didn't get a show! =)

closer up of them! =)

This is the giraffe that is pregnant(licking the pole), got so by the boy in the other picture =) I actually saw her belly moving, it was kinda cool!

anyway, it was fun just to spend time together, it was crowded so we didn't stay for long, but fun anyhow!

OUCHY/BACKPACK

So, in my preschool I have one little girl and this is her lady bug back pack, Kiersi LOVES playing/walking around with it! so today I finally took a picture of her with it, my camera has a stupid delay so her face is kinda funny, but still cute!

It pretty much touches the floor since she is soooo little! (She is STILL only 16 pounds at 14 months old=) she is NEVER going to be able to face forward in the car!!!! =(

So, a couple weeks ago, Kiersi had diarrhea for EVER, so I finally took her to her pediatrician and he wanted to have some tests done (since she was still only that huge 16 pounds and not gaining ANYTHING), so I had to take her to primary childrens to have some blood taken and to have a stool sample tests. Lets just say the stool sample was NOT fun, her pediatrician told me to put the clear plastic wrap in her diaper to catch it, well if you have ever done this, its tough and went ALL over the place, but I did get enough! =) She was not so sure about the nurse and the needle but was pretty good, her blood was coming out SOOO SLOW which made it more hard! So, this is the "prize" she got for being a good sport! she LOVES this ducky!!

But, thankfully the tests came back negative and she is ALL better! which I am glad about! better sleep!! =)

Her new word is "ouie" (is that how it is spelled???) but surprisingly she kept the purple bandage on, she would just point to it and say ouie!

Loving her new little, ok, not so little duck!

Still being a little sad after being poked with a needle!! Thank goodness for the duck! =)

EASTER!!!

Easter Sunday at Olsons house on Easter! Since it was warm Devins little sisters took Kiersi outside, she LOVED this wagon and thought she was big enough to pull it! =)

Our neighbors joined us for dinner, this is their boy, and yes, he is 3 month YOUNGER than Kiersi ;)

This is their girl, her and Kiersi loved jumping and obviously crashing!

Look at this crash, sooo funny!!!

And, look at the air she has, she has always loved to jump and on a trampoline its even better!

Kiersi in her Easter dress, she is so stinkin cute!!!

full lenght shot, I guess her fingers were amusing=)

Now... the egg hunts! I had my sisters 4 kids with me as well so we did 3 hunts on Saturday! Kiersi didn't quite know what was up but loved getting candy!

She would put some eggs in her basket, but most of the time she just wanted to hold them!

she just wanted to open and eat the candy so I helped her:)

Boring

Ok, so I know I have not done anything for like 3 weeks now! Last weekend I had clogging competition in St. George and this week I have 2 of my sisters kids for a whole week! So.... my life hs been busy but kinda boring so I have not really taken any pictures!
I loved conference weekend, I love to just be home with Devin and Kiersi and watch it on TV and then to spend a little time with both families, so much fun!
Next week with Easter I'm sure I will have a lot of pictures, but for now life is boring =)

bargain shopper=)

OK, so my neighbor Erin told me this deal on Huggies diapers. Walgreens had their diapers on sale for $10 a pack and if you spent $25 you got $10 back so...... they worked out to be $6.67 a pack, AND coupons.com had a $5 and $3 off coupons for Huggies diapers, well nonetheless, I bought 14 packs of diapers yesterday the most expensive pack being $3.67 a pack!!! most of them are size two (yes, Kiersi still wears size 2=) and they came to $1.67. I bought a couple size 3 and a couple size 4, but total I think I spent about $40 on 14 packs of diapers!=) I was pretty proud of my self! ( I had to buy one big box of 76 diapers because they ran out so they just substituted one big box instead of 2 smaller packs) I got them all at Walmart and just priced matched cause they let me use as many coupons as I wanted! I am set for a LONG time:)

KIERSI IS ONE!!!!!

Kiersi waiting for everyone to come for cake and icecream, isn't her hair SO cute! I can finally get it up!! Also, I took Kiersi for her one year check up and at one year she is only 16 pounds! not even on the charts yet! she is just so tiny, her height is 28 inches so only about the 25%, we've got while until she can sit forward in the car thats fo sure=)

Opening presents! Kiersi LOVES ripping paper!

Giving a hug to the teddy bear Great grandma and grandpa Taylor gaver her!

Grandma and Grandpa gave her some of her FAVORITE mints, she always goes into their kitchen and signs "more" at their cubbard cause she knows the mints are in there, she is SMART!!

Loving everyone giving her attention!

This is my neice D'Laina and her son, Ethan. It is Ethan's birthday in a couple of days so D'Laina brought cake and icecream for him too! He doesn't like cameras and I guess Kiersi likes to close her eyes for pictures=)

She wasn't quite sure about eating her cake, she just kept poking at it until I picked it up and gaeve her a bite!

Blowing out the candle! well... I did!=)

Kiersi and her cake!

OK, so I'm no Betty Crocker, and I learned lessons and if I made it again it would look WAY Betty Crockerish!=) but, it did turn out cute!!

Birthday decorations!

We had probably 40-50 people in my little house for Kiersi's little party last night, it was CRAZY and HECTIC, but I am so thankful for mine and Devin's family who love and support me and my family! Thank you everyone that came and helped us celebrate Kiersi's first birthday!!!! It was awesome!
