Birthday..baptism and.....sports!

It has been a big month around here for Saileen.  She had a birthday, a birthday party for the first time, started soccer and she got baptized!!  I think I am still in denial that she could be that old.  But regardless of what I think, she continues to grow up.  She is such a thoughtful, helpful, smart, and wonderful little girl.  I just love the person she is and and the person that she is becoming! 

Birthday party friends!!  She had so much fun!!

Anxiously awaiting the cup cakes!! 

 Her first soccer game, the girls watching from the sidelines!

On the field.....when did she get so big???

 A very special day when she got baptized. 
It was a wonderful day that I hope she will rememeber forever!!

Our Family on her special day. 

It has been a great fun filled and at stimes stressful month. 

I am glad we were able to make so many new memories and loved every minute of it!

Next on the list......my Sisters wedding and having a baby!!  48 days left!!!



Spring fun!

For our spring break we went to the zoo and the aquarium with some friends that came down from Idaho. It was really fun and we were blessed to have really good weather!! YAY!! I am a wimp when it comes to being cold!

The Peacock was really cool! The feathers are huge and really pretty! The girls were fascinated!

Daddy with the crew in front of the Elephants!

Huge turtle!! She talked about this guy for hours afterward!

With the Giraffe, you can get scary close. Derek could reach out and touch it!!
Apparently they have a purple tongue so it doesn't get sunburned....The girls told me that...never knew that. They love watching Wild Kratts....and it shows!!

We probably watched the Giraffe the longest, the were so huge and so close and really cool to watch!

She finagled her way into the stroller to take a load off from walking!!

Little lady did surprisingly well with us hauling her everywhere for days!

Isn't she getting big!! She turned 8 this week, I will do a post on that later!

On the train with their buddy Blaze!

At the Aquarium!! She was so Excited to see the Penguins!! Her favorite!!!

Nasty snake contemplating how to eat them!!

Their faces say it all! There was a huge Boa in there. Yuck I hate snakes!!!

Penguin encounter!!

Almost as big as an emperor penguin, can you tell she is excited!!

They were showing off for the crowd by swimming right in front of them!

In the otter cave! Not really, but close!

Azlyn and the girls sitting on the frog. I am really glad frogs don't get that big!!

Here is a good smile from the little one! I think she can sense that something is about to change. She has been super clingy...to me....(hard when your belly practically pushes her off, which makes her mad) She has been throwing fits and crying A LOT!! but she just turned 2 also, so who knows what brought it on. It is good to see this sweet smile of hers!!

This is the view I see.....bigger and bigger!!!

I measured 2 weeks ahead at my last appointment. Oh boy!! Literally, this boy is taking up all the room I can spare and then some! 9 weeks left!!!

I can't believe its getting so close....well, yes, I can!!

I can't wait!!! 65 days to go!! I can't wait to meet and hold me little MyKay!!

That is the happs around here!!! hope everyone had a good spring break!!
Bring on the sunshine!!!

What a difference!!

Here she is last year for her 5 year pictures......
Here is her 6 year picture!
What a huge difference!! She has grown up so much in a year!!
She isn't my squishy little baby anymore!!
She is a smart little lady and is the life of the party,
She loves to play with her sisters and play outside.
I can't get this girl to hardly wear anything but shorts, it snowed today and she was still in shorts!
She is a happy, spunky Sweet little lady!!
I enjoy every minute I have with her!!

6 years old already!!

She is officially 6 years old!!! I made her this dress for her and a matching one for her doll, that is what she asked for, so I searched around and found them to be very expensive. So I made it. It wasn't as hard as I thought. I think it turned out pretty well. She loves it, that is all the matters! ;)

I ventured to make some cute flowers I saw on pintrest!!! He he!! Turned out cute and surprisingly easy!!

I hope she had a good day and had lots of fun!! Pizza Ice cream cookies and presents, I think it was a home run!!

She is such a Sweet, kind and loving, smart little girl!! I am truly blessed to be her Mom!!!

I can't say enough good about this little lady!! I just love her to pieces!!

I needed this today!

Sometimes you feel less than "radiant" when cloth options are limited and you are nearing the end. :) But in fact, you are growing a human being. I think that is pretty darn cool!

2 years!!

If you are on facebook, you have probably already seen them,
but for those who aren't here ya go!

My little lady number 4 is 2 years old ready!! I am a couple months behind getting her pictures done due to moving and stuff, but I finally got them done!!

She had to do her silly face, she is really good at them, she loves to make people laugh!

This is one of my favorites! Such a sweet little face!!

Her model look...funny girl!

She did so goo, Even though it was right at nap time!! I still can't believe she is 2 already!!

Hmmmm

Out of curiosity, i dug up a picture from a couple previous pregnancies. I knew I felt bigger this time, but this just proves my point! I am not crazy!! This boy is taking his space right out of the middle!!

P.S. that fisrt one is of my pregnancy with Mylee. It gets confusing sometimes keeping them all straight!

Crazy kid!!...and other stuff!

So she got a loose tooth!! After 2 days of it, she wanted it out!! She was nervous and scared, but she decided she wanted out badly enough that she let me pull it!! She was so proud and was excited to "get some bucks" from the tooth Fairy!! What a big girl!! Saileen also has 2 loose teeth, but she doesn't want anyone to touch them!! ha ha!! After 6 teeth you think she would remember that it doesn't really hurt. I think it is a mental thing for her. ;)

On another note, this week I am going to be below 100 days til baby MyKay makes his arrival! Well, til my due date that is. Who knows when he will decide to arrive. But at least the count down will be below 3 digits!!! I am going to be starting into 2 week appointments and it seems to go quickly at that point. Also happening in the next 100 days is 2 birthdays, (which mean making matching girl and doll dresses for the birthday girls, and their dolls, per their request) 1 baptism for my oldest and a bridal shower for my sister and and a wedding (also for my sister) and being the maid of Honor, I am definitely going to be in the throws of everything! So it is going to be a crazy 100 days!!! Oh and at her Wedding I will be full term, so those wedding pictures will be.....interesting for me!! :0) Ha ha!!
Here I am at 21 weeks...

And here at 25 weeks. Don't make fun of the lack of make up or the sweat pants, that's how I roll these days. except for Church or maybe a Dr. appointment. This is how you will find me!!!

These are 2 of my favorites of the engagement pictures of Kalie, my sister, and her Fiance' Justin. They are great together and I am so happy for them!!!

Update

She got them, finally!! She loves them!! All worth it!!

The Saga

So, I have to vent....I am SO incredibly annoyed with the USPS right now!!!
I ordered a package, was mailed on the 1st. A cute little reward for Kaliah doing so well with potty training.

I was expecting to get it on the 3rd. I knew they had the wrong address, per our recent move. Didn't realize I hadn't changed it unitl after she had shipped it. BUT I have a forwarding address to our new address, so I figured it might take a day or so more, but still arrive.

SO, it was deemed "undeliverable" and was going to be sent back to the sender!!! What!!!!
I called USPS to stop them from sending it back and they said they said it would be forwarded onto me. That was on the 3rd!!!

It has sat in the SAME PLACE for 5 DAYS!!!!! Every day, no package! I have tried to call everyone I can to find out where in the world this thing is......no one knows......big suprise!!

I went to pick up another package at the post office...another thing in itself! And they said it would take about 1-2 days to get it. day 2 was today......still no package. I call again to see what in the world is going on, again ....no one knows!!!

I finally get a number of somone who is supposed to help, and a minute after she answers, their fire alarm goes off, wonderful. Hang up, wait, try again.

when I call back, the lady then tells me it is taking 7-9 days for packages to get through the SLC sorting office. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Sitting in salt lake city for 9 days!! when it was 2 streets away, 5 days ago!!!! This place where it is, is not accessable to the public so you can't go pick anything up there either!! Aparently one postal worker was just supposed to "hard it off" to another who could have delivered it, but they didn't. Thank you very much mister postman!!

So we sit and wait possibly another 4 days. 2-5 day delivery, yea right!!!!! What I have realized is that this government office never knows any information and has no way, or doesn't want to help anyone. AND they take their pecious little time doing a job that others get done in a fraction of the time!! (AKA UPS and FED EX)

Anyway, I am done venting now. I will hopefully be pleasntly suprised to have the package arrive tomorrow. But I am not holding my breath!!!

Good thing she is 2 and forgives me easily for telling her over and over again that it should be here tomorrow!!

This is her cute little toy that should arrive sometime this century!
