MY...How they grow!

I just got some new pictures of the kids and wanted to share. This is Danica just about a week ago. She is changing so fast. I wish she'd slow down a bit. Tyce keeps telling me to stop giving her milk and sleep then, cause that's how babies grow. Hmmm...that's a new theory!

Tyce also tells me whenever Danica is rocking back and forth that she must think she is snow boarding. I can't imagine why that makes him think of snow boarding. Silly little dude.

She just recently sat in her walker for the first time, and if mom can get over herself for a minute, she will get to try cereal for the first time as well. She is starting to try and sit, but we don't let go yet, because her snow boarding gets in the way.

This is Tyce just last week. He sure is a good helper. He was not too excited about having three birthdays in a row at our house, and none of them being his. It's tough to understand things when you're young. Grandma Lee did think about how he might feel, and sent him some small gifts. Thank you to Grandma Lee.

Tyce has been to see the dentist a couple of times to fix some cavities, and he loves it! I can't wait to go back with him, because Tyce on the gas is something everyone should get to experience. He's quite the funny man!
This is Paige and her pink cake that mom had to buy because we were so very busy around Paige's birthday. She was very excited. I just found a home video the other day of Paige when she was 3, and I started to cry. I cannot believe how quickly they change. Paige is in cheer, and surprised me the other day when I saw her doing a back hand spring almost by herself. AUGH, that's the kind of stuff I have to just know they do, but not watch because I get too nervous.

Here's Ali on her 9th birthday. She got a Taylor Swift CD and a stereo, and was so excited about both! She is growing up and worries about way too many things like, "I don't want this hair-do, because what if my friends don't like it?" This will probably only get worse, and I can truthfully say I am not looking forward to it. Funny thing is, she is EXACTLY the same as I was, and I think that's why I'm nervous for what's to come.

Now, this is the hardest to swallow. Kaden is 11! How did that happen? Although it's hard for me to imagine myself being that old, we sure love how much help Kaden is. I have not had to worry about getting a babysitter for quite some time now, and that's FABULOUS! He's now in boy scouts, and already went on his first campout. (Snow caves) That's a story for another day.

Well, I guess that's enough bragging on my kids for today. This is my first day of just staying home in weeks, so you can only imagine the catching up I have to do on my house. Better go!

Best Buddies

Yesterday in primary, Tyce's class was in charge of sharing time. His teacher asked them all to bring their favorite "creation". She said it could be anything from a toy to favorite food. Tyce took his sister Danica. He LOVES her! He wouldn't get up and tell them about her because he's a bit shy about doing anything in primary still, but it was very sweet none the less.

Paige would be so excited about this picture. I believe her and her siblings were enjoying the camera a while back. Tomorrow is Paige's 7th birthday, and we just want to wish her a very happy birthday. Also just not long before I started the blog Kaden turned 11 and Ali turned 9. I'm going to try to post birthday pictures of all of them after we get Paige's taken.

Road show

Ali, Paige, and I have been practicing for our ward road show. It has been taking a lot of extra time, but it will be fun. The girls are going to be straw and gold (The story follows Rumplstilskin) and I am going to play a man. I will make Jody take pictures of our costumes when we get them on. Mine is FUNNY! The girls will look so cute.

So, my pictures are still looking pretty blurry on my computer. Natalie says they're not too bad on hers, but if I'm doing something wrong, and someone knows a trick, let me know. Well, off to the dentist for Tyce and I today. Wish me luck.

Arnica makes it to 2009

Yeah! I'm finally starting a blog. I'm very scared and have already spent hours just getting this far, but I know it will all be worth it.

I don't know why my pictures keep turning out so blurry, but here we are. This was taken the first part of November when we blessed our newest addition to the herd; Danica P. We sure are happy to have her. She is a smiler and that makes us all feel good. I guess I should mention for those who I have not told yet. Danica was born September 23, 2008. I can't believe that she will be 5 months already. It's hard to have time go so fast when you know it's your last one.
