My Little Man! He is almost 10 months and I just love him so much:0).

He loves to:

smile, laugh, chew on his finger, crawl everywhere, fake cry, try to escape from his crib, say Dadda, his sister, eat, and go to Grandma and Grandpa's.

He dislikes:

Pea's, clothes, bumb change, being held while he is ready for bed, confinment, hugs and harsh voices.

This and that

Of course the nice weather arrives when I need to go back to work. I looked out the window on Tuesday morning while I was fixing Koy a bottle and it was total blue sky,
I thought what the _____. No worries nice weather will be here soon enough and then KC will have to get out the swamp coolers and stick them in our windows!
Koy was suppose to be laying down in his crib for a little nap when Tailor came out and told me to come here. I looked in and he had himself proped up on the side of his crib almost ready to take the plung, what a MONKEY, he is going to walk before he gets the really crawling part down.
Last night Heidi B and I went on our first walk of the year! It was so nice outside, we took the kids and walked to the cemetary and back. Every morning when I go to work and it is a nice day I remember our daily walks that we took last year and it actually kind of ruins my day.... I had so much fun walking everyday last year and going and grabing a drink in Smithfield and sometimes going shopping in Logan with Heidi. Thanks for the wonderful memories!!!!

O......My......Goodness

So..... If Tailor was any messier I think I would have to sell her. My child is beyond messy, she is so unorganized that it can actually put me in a bad mood. We were looking for her blue flip flop for school today and while she was in the process of taking her shoes out of her purple crate to find it she knocked down two shirts and her robe that were hanging in her closet. We never did find her blue flip flop but it has to be some where. What makes her messiness worse is that her and Koy share the same room right now so before he goes to bed I need her to clean her room and her bed so when she goes to bed later we don't have to mess with a huge pile of crap that she put on her bed after she got home from Grandpa's house. O.k I know this is a lot of information cramed into one little paragraph but instead of going over ALL the details I though I would spare myself when I read this later.
If I could only tran her that putting things away right when she is finished with them is a LOT easier than putting them on her bed first and then putting them in their correct spot when mom and dad ask her to. Sometimes I don't even know why i try to organize her drawers, her room, her shoes, or her bookcase because within the week I know we are back to square one re-doing everything over again!
BUT I do have to say I love my little girl so much and I love who she is and who she will become, she is the little girl I always wanted (except for the mess)!

Official 9 months and 1 day

Wow my little Koy is already 9 months, I know it is a good thing that your kids grow up but it seems like they grow up to fast within the first year and then by the time they are 5 you just want them to be 8 so they know everything and can babysit for you when you want to go do something:)
Koy has the 'army crawl' down pat, he can get from one end of the room to the other within seconds. Has has always been such a happy baby, only cries if he is hungry, tired or poopy. NOW he is starting to be a little devil, he likes to fake cry almost all the time. Maybe he is always hungry or tired:).
I love being a mom. Last night Kasey was holding Koy and Koy reached out to me so I would hold him and then when Kasey wanted him back he wouldn't let go of my shirt..... I love it!!

Tailor is almost finished with Preschool, she will be done on May 26th. Teacher Holly has been so great to her, she has tought her so much and Tailor always says such nice things about her.

So... I must say work is going rather well. I do miss staying home with Tailor all summer and doing nothing but my word search sitting under a tree and letting her play with her friend everyday, but I need to come to terms that if I want to live in a house and have a car and food on the table work is not an option:). I wouldn't say anything exciting has happened lately. I wake up, feed Koy and Tailor, play, clean or watch TV until 9:30a.m. and then get ready for work. I go to work get home and if I am lucky Koy is still awake so I can change him, give him a bottle and hold him for a bit before I put him to bed. Then after Iget him to bed I play with Tailor or ya know... watch T.V. with her until bed time:) I remember last summer the TV never came on at our house. Tailor and I were either outside, visiting people or playing something.
I have to say life is good.... We better be done having kids because we don't need any more curve balls in our future:) (Everytime we have a baby something major always happens to one of us.)

Koy's story



So if you didn't know Koy was born with possitional feet (bilateral Clubed feet). We found out the same time we found out that he was a boy. Now of course I was worried that he wouldn't be normal and that I was going to deliver a baby that wouldn't be physicaly perfect, that is a lot of emotion and stress. After we were told Kasey and I just kept it to ourselves for a while just to let it soak in.

When Koy was born we could tell that he had (what I called ), Monkey Feet. His little feet formed like a little holding place for his bum.... Now if it wouldn't have been fixable I wouldn't have kept saying they were cute, but since they were I though his feet were so cute and so different.















He was our little bundle of boy that we wouldn't give back for nothing, not even for a boy with perfect feet!








Kasey and Tailor with Koy a couple of day's after we got home from the hospital.










Koy weighed 5 lbs 18 oz. It was funny, when I was texting people from the hospital right after I had him I was telling them he weighed 8lbs and everyone was texting back saying how big he was. I caught on a couple hours later:)










After two weeks of Koy being in this world he started going to Shrieners Hospital in SLC. This was his home away from home every week for 5 weeks. He didn't have to spend the night but when we were there the doctors they really cared about what was going on with him and gave him so much love and attention.






Koy had to get 5 different casts on each leg and then the last set he got stayed on for 3 whole weeks.











After the castings were done Koy got himself a new pair of shoes! (Pictures to come).

Here comes Mr. Man AKA Koy Kasey


Easter 2011. We were at Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey's cooking hotdogs, well I should say Kasey cooked the hotdogs!!!!


Mother's Day weekend 2011. Koy enjoyed his new stroller. I got it during Christmas last year and this was the first weekend I used it. It strolles really nice and it is a perfect stroller to take when you go places~

Koy is always so happy~



You can see his build~A~Bear on his shoulder. His bear has some camo boxers!!! He wasn't as picky as Tailor was with her bear accessories.

What a cheeser!

Waiting for the Parade to start. I can't remember what parade but I know we were at a parade:)


Tailor went to Mt. Crest to a dance camp for a day. She had so much fun!

For her 4th birthday she had a Fancy Nancy Birthday party for some of her freinds! It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. I think next time I will have the party last 1hour instead of 2!

Halloween 2009- wow that was a while ago!

Updated pictures of my Tailor Rae


Tailor participated in the Primary Olympics in 2010. She has so much fun!

One of our morning getting ready for church


Ummmm..... Summer fun, the summer I was able to stay home and be a mommy to tailor and still keep Koy at bay in my tummy.!


This child of mine is afraid of NOTHING!


This was actually this year 2011! Tailor was very sad that we rolled all the eggs down the hill easter Saturday. There was only one that we salvaged but it sat in the fridge for a week until I threw it away.

Upated pics of family


Mother's Day weekend 2011. We always go to SLC and meet up with my Mom and spend the weekend having fun!


Tailor at Build-A-Bear. Who every thought of this concept is VERY rich.


Tailor at the Gateway playing in the water. I wasn't very smart when I booked our Hotel on Pirceline this year. We ended up staying at the Peery Hotel, which was built in 1910 and the room was as big as my kitchen (not big) and there was no pool. So we stayed at the Gateway for a while and let Tailor run in the water!

Wow such a long time!

Wow it has been a long time since I have been on my own blog. I guess that's what I get for forgetting my password:). So yes we do have an addition to our family, Mr. Man AKA Koy. He is adorably handsome and very fun! Tailor is such a big sister to him and loves him soooooooooooo much. She will do anything for him and for Kasey and I when we need something. Koy is 8 months and not crawling yet BUT he definitely has a great roll that gets him from one end of the room to the other. Life is great, I work at Stevens Henager right now and I am loving it. Kasey's parents watch our two little kiddos when we go to work which is a blessing for sure! Tailor will be graduation from Preschool here in the next couple weeks and I am not excited for her to start riding on the school bus in the fall:(
