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!
