I am trying to welcome myself back into the blogging world, but it hasn't been as smooth as I would have liked. I have started a new blog for the moment at tynaewalker5.blogspot.com unless I find that I can get my admin right back to this blog. We shall see. Things have changed - and I am not super tech savvy. Here's to hoping everything get worked out!Tysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06776695403583693383noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630612710076811347.post-15714614842446430552013-07-23T15:56:00.003-04:002013-07-23T15:56:32.369-04:00Organ Practice, Grandpa Vs.

I have been called (well, it's been months now) to be one of the ward organists. It first started as being called to replace the girl that had just had her 2nd child. She was never released, so there were two of us. Now, a third organist has been called and we switch off playing 1 month out of every 3. Not too shabby. I have always wanted to learn how to play the organ - here is my chance. We'll see how it goes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, during the week, I go and practice the organ a couple times. Well, March 21st Eve, Aria, and I went to the church and I practiced the organ. Eve practiced her picture-taking skills. Aria practiced smiling for the camera. Here is what we came up with that morning:</div>

<br />On March 22nd, Grandpa Walker jumped off the Stratosphere. Luckily, he had a harness on and loved every minute of it.. Grandma Walker was not as excited about the jump. In fact, she even requested Tyson's presence at the jump to calm her nerves a bit. Grandpa was jumping to support the Boy Scouts (but really I think he would have jumped anyways - he loves that kind of stuff). The jump was a success! No one died, no one had a heart attack, and there were no broken bones. Good day. :)<br />

Two days post birthday (March 16, 2013), Reed had "his other birthday" a.k.a. his birthday party. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge the camera, so only got a few photos, but it was awesome! We decided to do Super Hero School (thanks to a few ideas on Pinterest :) ). We invited all Reed's Las Vegas cousins, the kids in his church class (old and new ward), and his preschool friends. All-in-all, I knew we were going to have a large turn out. We ended up having 27 kids there! Yeah, 27 kids.....it was a little crazy, but I think everyone had a good time. So, before I get to the party, these were my 2 creations (again thakns to ideas on Pinterest) to go with the Super Hero theme: cupcakes and a fruit/cheese bowl. </div>

I am super proud of my Avengers cupcakes. From top to bottom: Hulk's face, Thor's Hammer, Iron Man's face, and Captain America's shield. </div>

The Captain America shield made with fruit and cheese (and a paper star). We also had Hulk Punch and Invisible water to drink. Plus, a veggie tray and super hero pizza. Needless to say, no one went hungry. :)<br />

The party: I had a bunch of different activities planned that were super hero-themed. The best one (in my opinion) was making our own shields. The kids got to paint their own shields (I had cut out of cardboard) and then I put some duct tape on the back so they could actually hold the shield. They all seemed to really enjoy the painting.<br />

After the painting we went outside and used our super strength to throw water balloons/grenades at the wall. We also used our web-slinging abilities to sling the bad guys (used silly string on pictures of bad guys). We also had to test our speed and agility. I put up paint buckets and we ran around them (who says you have to have grass in the back yard to play?!).<br />
<br />
Next, we went inside to have a little target practice. I set up targets up the wall (I have T staurs) and the kids took turns shooting the targets with squirt guns (sans water). Then, we went into another room and had to show off our ninja skills. I had balloons as the bad ninjas and the kids took turns punching them down and even doing a few high kicks. Lastly (although I had planned more, but forgot about it), we used our iron man power (glow sticks in your hand in a circle) to push back some bad guys (they were really agents at the school who were pretending to be bad guys) and then they were tackled.<br />
<br />
By that time, all the super heroes-in-training, so we had our super hero lunch. After lunch, came presents. I love watching how excited kids get to see what the birthday person gets. They all had so much fun looking at the toys and even cleaning up the paper after it was all over.<br />

All-in-all a successful Super Hero School. It was a bit overwhelming at times, but the kids were excited and had a good time. I forgot to have them run on the bubble wrap and "dodge the bullets" as they were leaving. I was also going to do something with popping bubbles and lassoing stuff, but we ran out of time.

As mentioned in the last post, my kids ended up getting pink eye after coming back from Arizona. I thought we were safe since we had been back for 5 days and there were no signs. But, on Saturday, February 23rd, Eve had goop in one eye. I noticed it when they were in the bath and thought, "Oh great....here comes pink eye." We took her to a quick care place in CVS and got some drops. She got it in her other eye the next day. Luckily, it went away quickly, since we had hopped right on it. I thought we were safe since no one else had any symptoms and Eve's eyes were clear. I was wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Reed was the next victim. He woke up goop in an eye on the next Tuesday. He couldn't go to preschool (which really upset him) and I took him to the same place to get the medicine. After 24 hours, the medicine is in full effect and they are no longer contagious. He did get it a little in the other eye, but it cleared up nicely. We kept doing the drops for the 5 days. I thought Aria was safe, but no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few days later (on Saturday), Aria's eyes both went super pink. The other kids had a bunch of goop. Hers was less goop-filled, but much more pink. I didn't even need to go in. I knew what it was. I used the drops (don't worry they were sterilized and never actually touched an eye) from Eve on Aria. She got cleared up quickly, but just to be safe the kids didn't play with other kids (aside from Reed going to preschool) for the next week. Yeah, we were all done with being inside our house. </div>

March 12, 2013 - We went to Red Ridge Park and had a blast! We didn't need jackets and even wore flip flops! Love it :) The kids had so much fun and Kimber and her boys were able to meet us there. Eve got a hold of the camera and took some interesting pictures. Who knows, she may be a photographer, too. :) </div>

March 14, 2013 - My baby turned 5! I can't believe it! Reed is such a little man. He is so excited about going to Kindergarten and playing with friends. He is a super smart kid and ultra observant. He also remembers everything you say - pros and cons to that one. He loves anything to do with Super Heroes, but also loves playing house with Eve. He is a great older brother and takes care of his younger sisters. He loves singing, being silly, reading, playing the Wii with daddy, swimming, and even helping me with jobs.<br />
<br />
Reed went to school on his birthday and had a great time. After school he got to pick lunch and dinner. For dinner he chose gnocchi. Yes, that's right, gnocchi. He just loves that potato pasta. I love that he even knows what that is. Reed, Eve, and Aria all made Super Hero capes out of men's white undershirts after quite time. Then, they ran around the house saving the world. It was the cutest thing. :)<br />
<br />
We had whatever family that could come show up after dinner for cake and ice cream. He wanted a Spider-man cake for "this birthday" and Avenger cupcakes for his "other birthday" (his party). We opened presents, played and had a great time. Ah the life of a 5-year-old. Happy birthday little man! I love you!<br />

It seems like time is speeding by and I have a million things to do. My poor blog has definitely taken a back seat. My goal for the summer to keep it updated with pictures of my beautiful family and fun experiences we have together. It just takes time - I know, I know. Anyways, here is what we did:<br />
February 13, 2013 - I have been getting these emails from Freebies2Deals and just happened upon the announcement that Jamba Juice was selling their smoothies (I believe the original size, or maybe the junior size) for $1! Yeah, I hopped on that and told Grandma Walker and Aunt Kimber. We all had our morning smoothies. Fantastic!<br />

Reed and Eve made Valentine's for classmates and some cousins. I chose owls this year. So cute - "Whoo's the best?" and then when you open up the card it says, "You are!" Reed did all of his own writing for his classmate's valentines. We also made valentines for the grandparents (apparently, I forgot to take a picture- boo!). I measured their arms and then we put their hands (traced, not actual) on the each end and called it a hug. It was adorable :)<br />

Eve also liked to jump in with them to be the mom and help them do things. Her nature is definitely that of a helper/nurterer. She is a sweet girl. :)<br />

February 15- 18, 2013 - The kids and I took a road trip to Gilbert, AZ. Tyson was still busy with "busy season" so it was best for us to get out of the house. I was a little nervous to travel all by myself with the kiddos (especially driving), but it ended up being just fine. They watched movies, I drove, we stopped for food/bathroom, and made it in one piece.<br />
<br />
One of Reed's best friends from VA moved there a month after we moved to Las Vegas. Taryn and Reed are two peas in a pod. They have been playing since they met. When I arrived on Friday night, they played like they lived next door. I love that their friendship is still there, even though we live far away now.<br />
<br />
Arizona had some beautiful weather while we were there. I loved being warm in February - so much better than February in Virginia.<br />
<br />
Taryn's 5 birthday party was Saturday, so we had to be a part of it. We played at the neighborhood park, ate yummy food, and just chatted away. I am also good friends with Taryn's mom, Jana, so we all loved it! I miss having them close. Jana and I were even able to have a little girl time and go shopping, eat frozen yogurt, and just chat. Love it :)<br />
<br />
We left Monday and headed back to Las Vegas. The kids were sad to say goodbye, but we had to go. We did take some pictures of our crazy kiddos before leaving.<br />

The only down side to the trip was that Nyah ended up getting pink eye. We tried to be careful, but all my kids ended up getting pink eye a week later. It was one right after the other: first Eve, then, Reed, then Aria. Luckily, I never got it and Tyson was safe as well.<br />
<br />
February 21, 2013 - We took a trip to Target and Reed snapped a cute photo of Aria!<br />

February 27, 2013 - We had a gift card to Sweet Addiction and I decided to take the kids for ice cream. Busy season had been pretty brutal on all involved and ice cream definitely made us all feel better, except Tyson who was still working an insane amount of hours.<br />

I forgot to mention that at the end of January (since I was sick and coughing a ton), I popped one of my ribs out of place! I have never done anything like that before (I have never broken a bone, either...knock on wood) and it was ultra painful! Every breath was painful and every cough was pretty much unbearable, even when I had ibuprofen in me. I am one that likes to let my body heal as naturally as possible, so I don't have a lot of medicine in my house. We all take our multi-vitamins and I have some ibuprofen and Tylenol, but that's about it. I don't know why I didn't call the chiropractor earlier - I guess I figured I could be strong for a week and 2 days until my next appointment. Well, I was in pain for that week and 2 days. My cough did get a little better, but I was still hurting bad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I went to the chiropractor on February 5th and the healing began. I told him about my rib and he went straight to work. He popped my rib back into place and I immediately felt 80% better. He also recommended this drink called Greens first. I got some and it helped my immune system to get stronger, so my cough went away within days. Tyson also found that this drink gave him energy even when he was tired (there is no caffeine - it is pretty much just vegetables ground up and a mint flavoring and some stevia). Thankfully, I got better and better. I hope my rib never pops out again! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other news at the beginning of February: Eve finally decided that it was better to go poops in the potty than in her underwear. Once she made the decision, she has not had a pooping accident! Hurray! It was interesting because she was keeping her diaper dry at night and started sleeping in underwear, but was still hesitant about pooping in the potty. Thankfully, she is over her fear/apprehension/whatever it was and goes cheerfully in the potty. :) </div>

Fridays are a good day because Tyson usually gets home from work earlier than during the week. During busy season this usually holds true as well (although that doesn't mean he gets to see the kids - it just means he usually gets home before 11 p.m.). Thankfully, we all got to see Tyson on February 1st! It was just about bedtime, but the kids got to stay up a little and play with daddy. Happy day!<br />

February 7, 2013 - Another reason I love Las Vegas in the winter. We played outside at the beginning of February and barely needed jackets! Yahoo! It was just me and the girls while Reed was at preschool. We played at Helen Meyer Park. Eve and Aria loved chasing the pigeons. </div>

February 11, 2013 - We made Valentine's decorations today. I loved the hearts because they didn't require any glue (since I used contact paper). The kids could stick on as much or as little tissue paper as they wanted. We hung them up all over the house. <br />

I did awful at taking pictures in January - it's pretty pathetic. But, I was sick for most of January and also popped my rib out place from coughing so hard. So, pictures were kind of the last thing on my mind. Despite the lack of pictures, we did do a lot in the month. Here's the rundown: </div>

No New Year's is complete unless Grandpa Walker burns the year into the street. Can't believe it's 2013! Oh, and yes, we had games, lots of food, and a helicopter obstacle course to keep us busy before we were burning the street. Tyson won the helicopter competition :) His birthday gift from last year has paid off - we got a 100 grand (candy, not dollars...too bad, though) and some "strawberry milk" a.k.a. Nesquik strawberry. </div>

On New Year's Day night, Shauntelle and John dropped their girls off at our house so they could be on their way to Florida to celebrate their 10-year anniversary! I thought Tyson would be off work the whole time, but it turns out that I was wrong and he went back to work Thursday and Friday, which left me with 6 kids and no car in the middle of winter (well, Las Vegas winter). It definitely was a lot of fun and loud and crazy. It was almost like have 2 sets of twins - Reed and Evyn are 6 months apart and Eve and Isla are 5 weeks apart. We spent a lot of time coloring, played some tag, rode bikes, watched movies, and just hung out. We did make a special outing on Saturday to sit in Grandma Walker's hot tub. That is always a good time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls stayed at our house until Sunday evening. John and Shauntelle made it to our 2 p.m. church (awful time, but what do you do when there are 4 wards in your building?!) and Evyn and Mary came to our CTR 6 class (also our first time teaching). Then, they came over for dinner at our house before packing up their stuff and taking the girls back home. </div>
<br />
After that busy season started for Tyson (boo) which usually means a lot of nights putting the kids to bed by myself and watching dumb things on television. Luckily, I had gotten back into reading since I could stay awake for more than 5 minutes. When I am pregnant or am still being woken up in the middle of the night by a nursing baby or even just nursing in general, I cannot read at night. I fall asleep almost instantly. But, that is my only time to relax and read. So, These last few years I have not been able to do a lot of reading since I have been pregnant and/or nursing for most of them. Well, since I am neither at the moment, reading has become fun again! I do love books and always have. So, this busy season was full of books for me and much less television (thank goodness since there are not many things that are worth watching on our 7 channels that we have).<br />
<br />
I also got a little sick in the middle of January, but was still going to keep going. I had a persistent cough and did end up losing my voice, but it always seems that way in the winter for me. I never get sick enough to really warrant going to the doctor, but I get just sick enough to not want to do a whole lot. Ugh.<br />
<br />
Near the end of January - January 23rd and 25th - I got to see my good friend, Heather, her husband, Michael, and their adorable baby Lorelai! I have known Heather since 6th grade and she is one of the few people I sort of attempt to keep in contact with (although I could do a way better). She came into town (since most of her family still lives in Las Vegas) and we got to hang out a little on Wednesday and then again on Friday night at a Gwin family dinner (I was adopted in as an honorary Gwin family member). It was a ton of fun to catch up and just see how we all are growing up! I loved chatting with the whole family and Tyson was even able to make the dinner (a bit late, but he came!). I wish that they lived closer and I could see them more often, but I will take what I can get. Heather is one of my favorite people! I am so happy to know her and be friends with her. :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This extends beyond January and into February, but a fun thing we did during busy season so that Tyson could see the kids at least a little bit was to go see him on Wednesdays for lunch. The kids were always so excited to see "the building" (that's what Eve called the Mandalay Bay, where Tyson was working for busy season) and get to eat out and eat with daddy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, that was a sum up of our January! </div>

This year was our turn with Grandma and Grandpa Walker for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we did a lot of playing with aunts, uncles, and cousins and did our round of caroling. Most of the families live in our old ward (past home teaching families and such of Grandma and Grandpa) so we added in 2 other families to the list (Gibson family and Eve's nursery leaders) since they lived so close. I always love caroling and plan on having a completely new set of people to carol to next year. I am even going to make Tyson sing with me. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After caroling we came to the Grandma and Grandpa's and had Chinese food for dinner. Then, we re-enacted the Nativity scene. Unfortunately, no pictures, but the kids did great! Eve was Mary (easy choice since she is the oldest girl) and Vance was Joseph. Aria and Kade were sheep/shepherds along with Tyson. I was part of the wiseperson crew of Reed, Carter, and myself. Natalie, Kylie, and Mackenzi were angels. This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. My kids are almost big enough were we could do it with just our family! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After that, the kids each got their pjs from Grandma, plus everyone got to open a present. Then, the hot chocolate in the Santa mugs. Phew - yes, we pack a lot in to one evening. Then, we headed back home so the kids could go to sleep so that Santa could come. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Christmas morning was especially great because no one got up early! Yahoo for kids who like to sleep in past 7 :) We even had to wake Aria up at around 8 (the others got up just past 7:30) so that we could go down the stairs and see if Santa had come. Here they are anxiously waiting (Tyson is just as excited!). </div>

We spent the next while opening presents and seeing what everyone got. Grandma and Grandpa came over with their presents as well - bikes for Reed and Eve and a little car (you know the red and yellow ones) for Aria. It was great! The kids loved all their presents, especially Aria. She got so excited for every present - it was cute to watch.<br />

After the presents were done, daddy made cashnitas (no idea how to spell it) which is a piece of toast with egg and cheese melted on the top. Then, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house for more food, and to open the presents from them to our family. We were given some shelving for our garage! They even helped us put it up the next day (what service).<br />
<br />
We spent the rest of the day there, playing games and hanging out. Jared and Beckie had to leave on Christmas, so we stayed until they left. They actually had to come back because of some car trouble, but were able to get on the road a little later that night.<br />
<br />
The day after Christmas we got our shelves up and the kids tested our their bikes for the first time! Reed was pretty much a pro as soon as he got on (he has practiced with his trike). Eve was a little more skeptical, but likes it, as long as she is going slow. We spent much of the afternoon riding bikes and watching daddy and Grandpa put the shelves up. Good fun!<br />

December 23rd my little Eve turned 3! It's hard to believe that she is already that old! I do feel a little bad that her birthday is so close to Christmas, but she does share the day with an amazing person - Joseph Smith. So, she is in good company. Plus, she was the best Christmas present we have ever received. It is also nice that since it is so close to Christmas, out-of-town family is usually in-town and everyone can take time to celebrate with us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eve is such a sweet little girl with an amazing imagination. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She and Reed play all sorts of games together and she is physically just as tough as the boys (if not tougher). Emotionally, she is very much a girl. Hurt feelings make her cry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She is actually a super funny person. She has an infectious laugh and comes up with some of the funniest lines. She loves doing things that make people laugh (Reed has already commented, "Mom, Eve really is funny!"). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her favorite church song is "I am a Child of God" and her favorite non-church song is "Call Me, Maybe." Her favorite colors are pink and purple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think she is going to be very artistic - she will color for an hour and loves to paint. She is specific about which colors she wants where, which I find amazing for someone her age. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She loves being a 'mom.' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since it was a Sunday, Eve even got wear her birthday dress to church! She was super excited about her dress (I'm glad because I bought it a while ago since I loved it so much and have been saving it for her birthday). We decorated the hallway and her door with balloons and such - the usual :). We headed to Grandma Walker's house after naps for the birthday dinner, cake, and presents. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone in Tyson's family was able to be there, including the out-of-towners Jared and Beckie! Shauntelle and John and the kids were able to come as well. It's nice to be surrounded by so much family. It really helped make Eve's day super special. </div>

After dinner and cake and ice cream, it was present time and Eve really lucked out! She got a little timid when opening presents, since everyone was watching her, but Reed made the perfect side comments, "Look at that! How cute!" and "Hey, she's opening another one. Everyone watch!" - Such a supportive older brother.<br />

After that, the kids just played and had a good time. Eve got some fairy wings and a wand from Aunt Tifani and spent the rest of the night with them (almost) permanently attached. We all enjoyed each other's company and the rest of the evening. I love you, Eve! Happy 3rd birthday :)<br />

It seems amazing to me how many people we got to know in such a short time in the ward (about 8 months). I also went to a cookie exchange party with Reed's preschool teacher. Way too many cookies were sampled and brought home, but it was a good time.<br />

December 8, 2012 - We went to our ward Christmas party. It was a little weird just because we were brand new. We had only been to the ward the previous Sunday, so didn't really know anyone. But, we all had a good time. I loved the pjs and breakfast theme. Plus the kids got to ride on the "Polar Express." Pretty cool. Plus, Reed actually sat on Santa's lap this year! He really is growing up! Eve talked big, but when it came down to it, it was not going to happen. Aria just started screaming when we tried to hand her over.<br />

After the party, we went to the live Nativity. I remember going with my parents a lot (not sure if it was yearly, but I recall at least a few times) and loved it. I wanted my kids to get the same experience. So, we went, froze a little, but enjoyed the presentation. The kids LOVED the live animals and Eve could not keep quiet - she had so many questions and thoughts. I was truly touched with how they presented the birth of our Savior. Afterwards, we got to see the baby Jesus and pet all the animals (sheep, horses, goats) and Aria was ecstatic about touching the sheep! She really is my animal-lover. Now, every time she sees a sheep (usually it's a pretend one), she just gets so excited and yells what she thinks is the word for sheep and points. So cute :) The kids even got to sit on a horse. Tyson's uncle, Mark, is in charge of all the animals, so he let the kids sit on a horse. They all did it - way to be brave!<br />
<br />
A lot of December was taken up by the kids play kitchen that I made (Pictures to come). It was made from Tyson's Grandma's old entertainment unit. It got sanded, then prepped, then painted white. For the doors, I chose an orange color because I ended up making little valences out of Tyson's Grandma Zobrist's old tablecloth (plus some aprons!) that was an orange and white checker. So, the fridge doors had to be orange, along with the stovetop knobs. The handles for everything did not actually come until after Christmas (a long and frustrating process...I should have just not special ordered it - even though it was cheaper) and have not been put on because a tragedy happened on Christmas Eve. As it was being transported from Tyson's parents to our house, one of the doors flew open and broke! They tried to fix it with glue - it lasted for a few days, but then broke again. So, I have to do the doors again. Thus, I do not have a proper picture of the kitchen as of yet. But, it will be coming. Oh, I also put number and a start and stop on the microwave, plus spray-painted some old cds black and then painted them with mod podge for the stove top burners. It really did turn out awesome! Thank you, Pinterest for getting me to try new things or at least making me think I can do it. I am usually surprised at how not hard it is or how good it turns out.<br />
<br />
Another big thing we did in December was helping a family. The Walker kids all contributed how ever much $ they could and then Kimber, Tifani, and I went shopping for presents and food for a family. This was what we did in lieu of presents to Grandma and Grandpa Walker (and in our case Grandma and Grandpa Rowberry as well). The family had fallen on hard times, especially when their new baby (#3) had to be in the hospital NICU for a few weeks. Plus, the husband has had a rough time finding a job. Just a lot to handle for a young family. We ended up really brigthening their Christmas. I helped pick out all the presents, but I was most excited about doing a fruit/veggie/nuts basket. I just really felt that it needed to happen. So, I filled a large basket and here is how it turned out:<br />

It just makes me want to eat it! It looked so good. Here is everything we were able to get together for the family (presents, plus lots of stuff to stock a pantry, along with laundry detergent, and the fresh produce basket): </div>

We went to deliver the basket on Friday, December 14th and it was truly amazing. I was a bit nervous because I didn't know the family that well, but that did not matter. We brought everything to the door and I rang the door bell. The 9-year-old came to the door and said, "Mom, there is like 300 pounds of food here! I don't know what to do with it!" The mom was a bit confused and asked if there were people at the door as well. We were still there. She came to the door, saw everything, and burst into tears. You could see the shock, awe, relief, and thankfulness written all over her face in about a second . She gave me the most giant hug and it was all I could do to not break down and cry as well. We all went in and chatted for a few minutes. She was just very grateful and the true spirit of Christmas was really made clear. We all left on such a high. I love the feeling of giving - it is just amazing. Best Christmas present of the year! </div>

December 20th we went to the Shark Reef with Reed's preschool class. I had never been, so was as excited as the kids. Reed, Eve, and Aria all loved it! Aria got so excited about all the fish, she could have stayed all day! I think Reed's favorite part was seeing the divers clean the tank. It really had the attention of most of the kids. He also told me, "Mom, I bet daddy would love that job!" You are right, Reed - at least as a 6-month job, it would be awesome! He already knows how to scuba dive. Eve was brave and stuck her hand in the water where the sting rays were swimming. All-in-all a great field trip! Plus, we got the extra bonus of going to lunch with daddy after it was over. He is at Mandalay Bay right now, which is where the Shark Reef is located. Yahoo! We were all excited about that! </div>

December 21st Jared and Beckie got to town, which is always exciting. My kids simply love them - especially Aunt Beckie. :) I mean, they love Jared as well, but they always ask when Aunt Beckie is coming to visit again. Beckie, you have truly wrapped my kids around your finger - way to go!<br />
<br />
So, we had planned a few fun outings - the first of which was going to the Ethel M cactus garden to see the Christmas lights. I had been to the garden many times in high school (mostly because I could go and get a piece of chocolate from the factory as well) and loved it. Seeing the Christmas lights was amazing! They were so colorful and bright. It just makes me wonder who had to put all those lights on the various cacti in the garden and how they avoided being permanently punctured. Despite the cold (it is December, so it does get cold - just not as cold as other places), a good time was had by all. Plus, we all sampled some chocolate and toffee. Yum!<br />

December 22nd we went to the Bellagio to see the flower garden and the water show. Those are my favorite things to do on the strip. I think it would be pretty awesome to be in charge of designing the flower gardens. They change fairly frequently and it always amazes me! This Christmas was no different - just amazing!<br />

Growing up we always had a fake Christmas tree -- sometimes 2 (a kids tree and a mom tree). I recall that my mom loved having a Blue Spruce in our house. I never thought anything of having a fake tree, that's just what we had. I still loved decorating the tree and it was almost easier since the branches could be folded what ever way I wanted them to be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fast forward to getting married to Tyson - someone who had always had a real tree at Christmas time. He was disappointed that we had to get a fake tree due to money constraints. But, h e was happy that we only had to buy that tree one time and it lasted 2006 - 2011 - much more economical.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year was the year that we finally bought a real (meaning fresh) Christmas tree. I was excited and a little nervous because the decision was up to me, pretty much. Which tree did I like? I had no idea what to look for in a live tree - having never had one before. But, I think we did a pretty good job picking one out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
December 1st - When we pulled into the lot on, Reed saw this huge tree (at least 20 feet - if not taller) and said, "That's the tree I want. It can go in our room with the tall ceiling." Yes, it would have fit, but, no, we didn't get that tree. Reed was a little disappointed, but not enough for it to dampen the mood of buying a live tree that actually smelled like Christmas instead of having Christmas sprayed on it from a bottle (to this day - I can'[t stand the fake Christmas smell that tries to be real). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eve wanted every single tree we saw - especially the ones they had frosted to make it look like snow. No, we did not go with that either. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Aria was just enjoying walking in the trees getting lost. Don't worry, we found her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ended up with about a 7 foot tree and it looked awesome! The guy cut it for us, which was a whole new adventures as well and then, we were off to put it up in our house. We have basically an entire room just for the Christmas tree (since we are lacking in the furniture department right now), so it was fun to be able to fill that room with something so green and lovely. It also made the house smell amazing - like Christmas :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What a great day with my family. I think Reed might actually remember picking out the tree. He was so excited! Merry Christmas (even if it is February). </div>

It all started actually at the end of October.<br />
<br />
I was doing my normal morning run (in preparation for half marathon #3 on November 3rd). After about 3 or so miles my knee started killing me and I stopped running. I walked the rest of the way home, very frustrated. I had not tripped, I had not fallen.....ugh. Would I be able to run? The next week I went to the chiropractor and he helped me out a lot. I told him the race was that weekend and asked if I could run. He said to see him everyday and it should be possible. He also said that it would not hurt my knee to run on it, although it may be painful. Yuck, tendonitis is not fun. I also failed to remember that I have been using the same running shoes since the last month of my training for my first half marathon. So, yes, new shoes need to be purchased (I still have not done it - life is just so busy). So, needless to say, I spent a lot of time in the chiropractor's office right before the half marathon.<br />
<br />
November 2nd, we signed the papers for our house! It was a little overwhelming, but so exciting. Just another step taken into true adulthood. I also wired away most of our savings into escrow and went into shock for a short while. It was just a lot of $.<br />
<br />
November 3rd I did end up running my half marathon (The big free half marathon). I taped my knee, took some ibuprofen and went on my way. My tape came off about halfway through the race, and I spent a good 2 minutes trying to get the other piece of tape to stick to my sweaty leg, but to no avail. So, I continued on and finished the race. I finished in 2:01:30 which was just a little over what my goal was. The goal was 2 hours. But, I cannot complain considering that I was not even sure I would be able to run it and took 2 minutes trying to get the tape to stick. So, not bad. Half marathon #3 -- check!<br />
<br />
On Monday, November 5th, we officially got the keys to our new house and I started cleaning the almost 3,500 square feet monster. What was I thinking? This house is huge?! It will take forever to clean. But, it was definitely the house we were meant to get (not quite sure why still) though I am already longing for the day when we can put carpet into some more of the downstairs. Tile is a beast.<br />
<br />
November 6th I got to see Kristy and James who were doing some canvassing for the Romney presidential campaign. They had stopped for lunch and we got to chat for a little bit, then they were back to work.<br />

Much of my November was spent at the new house cleaning every inch (other people's dirt is scary and gross to me - my own dirt, still not great, but I handle it a lot better) with a lot of help from family.<br />
<br />
Oh, did I mention that someone (I am guessing the previous owner) took one side of the door knob (we have a double door entry) and the knobs that were one there are out of stock? Yeah, so this picture is fitting because I spent a lot of time looking for replacements. I ended up having to get an entire new set. Door knobs are expensive!<br />

November 11th we ate dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Walker's house. It was a nice little break from the crazy house stuff!<br />

We also decided to paint the house before moving in so there would be no furniture to move and "it would be nice to move in with everything freshly painted - then it would really be ours," was what I said. In reality, I am still glad we did it, but it took a lot longer than we thought and it took a whole lot more paint. Our walls were previously a super light cream and flat paint (yuck!). I was not going to have that again - cleaning the walls is impossible with flat paint. So we went with sandstone (Sherwin-Williams) and semi-gloss. Such an awesome choice! I love it! It is definitely a neutral color, but a warm tone. Again, we had a lot of help from lots of family, but it would not have been possible without Grandma and Grandpa Walker. They are the pros. Thanks to all the Walkers in Las Vegas, my mom and dad, and Shauntelle....it was a huge help!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
November 12th I went to Sherwin-Williams to pick out the paint color. I got stuck on the last 2, so got a quart sample of each to see which one I liked better. I was afraid of making the house too dark, so I chose a lighter and darker option. In the end, I went with the darker (Sandstone) and it looks awesome! But, I am still glad that I had the choice and got to see it on the walls before completely making up my mind. The kids came with us for the painting adventure in our new house. They were stoked! Reed took a lot of these photos. </div>

November 15th was a field trip day for Reed's preschool. We went down to the railroad tunnels by Lake Mead and walked all 5 of them. Turns out, you can go all the way into Lake Mead, but it's a few more miles each way. The tunnels used to be railroad tunnels (as is obvious by the name), but after everything was completed. they took the railroad tracks out. Now, it is a nice dirt trail for walkers and bikers. It was a lot of fun! (I actually had to hurry home after it was all done because the guy to look at our oven was coming by - since it was not working - it was a big rush, but we made it just in time)</div>

Random fun thing that we did during the craziness (November 16th): We saw 2 of my cousins play for the BYU volleyball team. There was some sort of exhibition games pre-season in Las Vegas. So, my Uncle Elmer and Aunt Amy came from San Diego to see 2 of their boys play on BYU volleyball. Yes, there is height in my family, I just did not get very much of it. The guys did awesome! It was a nice break. Photos courtesy of Reed.<br />

November 18th (Sunday) was Isla's 3rd birthday! We went over for dinner, cookies & ice cream, and some fun games! Can't believe that she is already 3! That means Eve is almost 3! Time certainly flies when you are having fun and being busy. :)<br />

We also decided to move just before Thanksgiving since we were planning on doing Thanksgiving at my house (my parents and sisters were coming). Besides the cleaning and painting stuff, I also packed our house - intermittently. I was like a chicken with my head cut off. Oh, and I was still teaching the Beehives on Sunday all November and was in charge of an activity. Yeah, busy. So, on Tuesday, November 20th, all our stuff was packed and moved to the new house. We did do some moving on Monday, but the bulk was done Tuesday. By Tuesday night, we had all our beds set-up and some kitchen stuff unpacked. I have not been that tired in a long time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wednesday was spent unpacking and also celebrating my dad's birthday at Shauntelle's house! Before going over, however, Joe and Jana stopped by on their way to St. George for Thanksgiving. Reed and Taryn spent time playing and acted like they had never been apart - no shyness or anything. They did great. Always nice to see friends! James and Kristy also came by and helped a ton in the unpacking process. Wednesday night my parents came to stay at our house and we discovered that the start button on our oven was not working (are you kidding me?!) - it had worked on Tuesday. We thought it was weird, but decided to see if it worked in the morning. We reset the oven breaker and went to bed.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, it did not work on Thursday morning, so all our plans changed. We went to Tyson's parents' house (they were in California) and had Thanksgiving there. It was a last minute switch, but everything ended up being just fine. We ate a bunch of good food, played games, chatted, and the kids even got naps. We also did some "black Friday" shopping on Thursday night at 9 p.m.<br />
<br />
My mom left on Friday morning, but my dad stayed until Monday morning. They were looking for a house since they are moving out here Summer 2013 after my dad retires. They did not have any luck finding a house, but the market right now is really weird - at least in Las Vegas.<br />
<br />
Saturday, November 24th we went to Exploration Peak Park at Mountain's Edge. We played at the play ground and hiked the little mountain right by the park. The kids all had a blast! It was a beautiful view of Las Vegas! Afterwards, we went and ate at Cafe Rio :) Yummy! Then we went back to my house to play some games and relax. Ah, family time is fun :)<br />

So, that about sums up my November. Whew! Just typing it reminded me of how busy and tired I was. Busy month, but really a great month. I can't believe we own a house!<br />

The Monday before Halloween (October 29th), we all went to Grandma Walker's home for a Halloween FHE. We had a pumpkin-shaped pizza for dinner and then we carved pumpkins. They got each of the kids their own pumpkin to carve. Then we carved our pumpkins - taking out the seeds and gunk (and saving the seeds to bake! yummy!). My kids did pretty good and not being grossed out at the slimy bits of pumpkin (such a proud mommy). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After everyone was done, we lined up the pumpkins and took pictures. Obviously (as shown below), my camera does not take stellar night pictures, but it looked awesome!! Happy Halloween! </div>

<br />
On Halloween (aka Nevada Day), the kids and I went to do some trick-or-treating at "The District." I seriously underestimated how many people were going to be there. It was just me with the 3 little ones. I almost turned around, but thought, let's do this - I drove all the way here, I mine as well stick it out.<br />
<br />
The kids loved it! It was nice that we didn't have to go out in the street or even knock on any doors. Each store had a person with a basket of candy all ready to go. They all did a good job saying "trick-or-treat" and saying "thank you." They just loved how many treats they were getting. I had told earlier that they could eat as much candy as they wanted on Halloween, but after that, I would get to decide when they got the treats. They took me pretty seriously and ate a bunch of treats.<br />
<br />
When we had gone around "The District" we headed back to the car and to our ward trunk-or-treat. They had some dinner there and some games. The kids were pretty sugared out (thank goodness) and the food must have tasted delicious because they ate it super fast. They were pretty tired by then, so we went stopped by 1 house since it was Aunt Krystal's house, then went home.<br />
<br />
The best part about this Halloween was that I made one of the costumes (with help from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Kimber). Eve wanted to be Rapunzel. I went and looked at the dresses available and either I didn't lioke them, or they were $50! I decided to look on Pinterest and see if someone had a pattern. Well, I found one (not a complete pattern, but at least directions) and I decided to do it. It was a bit harder that I thought, but not as hard once I decided that it was ok if it was not 100% perfect.<br />
<br />
While the menfolk were away hunting pheasants, we made Halloween costumes at Grandma Walker's house. It was a busy week, but it got done and looks awesome! Thanks to Jana, Eve had a Rapunzel wig to wear as well. She was the talk of Halloween. Next year (before October), I want to try making more costumes. As long as I give myself enough time, it should be lots of fun! Reed's and Aria's costumes were definitely not made by me, but still super cute - a shark and a bumble bee! Here was just some of our Halloween 2012:<br />

October was full of house stuff. We found out we got the house that we are currently living in in September and the paper process began. I have never skimmed and read so many papers that were not a published book. But, we did get all the t's crossed and i's dotted. Needless to say, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have. But, at least I took some. Here are some of the October happenings: </div>

October 8th: You know it's a good time when all 3 kids are sword fighting and no one is crying! (Oh - and don't mind the short-less Eve. Yep, shorts in October - gotta love the Vegas weather). </div>

October 13th: We went to the South stake's annual fair with Grandma and Grandpa Walker. We ran in to a bunch of random people that we knew from high school, which is always fun. They had a bunch of games set up for the kids and then had prizes that they could claim with the tickets from each game. There was a also a display of crafts made by members of the stake. Some of Grandma;s famous ties were displayed. The kids had a blast are I am already excited to be going back next year as an actual member of the South stake.<br />

September 28th - Evyn turns 5!<br />
<br />
We went to BounceU in Henderson and had a blast. I was asked to make Evyn's cake and wanted to try out doing a Barbie cake. It turned out pretty good. Evyn LOVED the cake and Shauntelle and John loved it, too. I was pretty impressed with myself, for a first try.<br />
<br />
Here she is - Miss Barbie in all her pink and purple glory:<br />

September 10, 2012 - The kids decided that it would be a fun game to make a fort out of couch cushions and hide underneath them. Indeed, it was a fun game! Their little bodies fit so well under the cushions. I was just a little too big to fit under there. </div>

They also had a grand time playing on the couch sans cushions! Who knew it could be so much fun?! Aria had an especially good time. She is getting so big (well, not literally, but growing up) and is excited to be able to kind of keep up with Reed and Eve.<br />

September 11, 2012 - It rained most of the day (perhaps for more reasons than 1). The kids went out to play in the rain, always a favorite past time. Thankfully, Reed and Eve had rain boots - so they played for a lot longer than Aria could. </div>

September 3rd was Labor Day, so Tyson had it off. Yahoo! We went shooting with Adam, Kimber, Grandpa Walker, Grandma Walker, Jared, Beckie, and the kids (of course). Then we went back to the Walker's to see the wedding pictures, swim, and just hang out before Jared and Beckie headed back to L.A. It was a fun and relaxing day. </div>

September 4, 2012 I turned 30! I am still kind of shocked that I am already 30. wasn't I just in high school going to all those A.P. classes and singing my heart out in choir? These past 12 years have gone so quickly, it's hard to believe that they have already passed. Now my life goes by even quicker with 3 little kids to take care of. Amazing. Anyways, yes, I turned 30 and hopefully my 30's will be completely awesome! So far they have been great :) </div>

I was still on the no dairy and no soy diet, so I made my own cake, but I do love baking, so it didn't bother me in the least. I received some beautiful gifts: a necklace and gift card from my parents, a kindle (yahoo!) and pepper grinder (something I have been talking about) from Tyson, a skirt and necklace from Shauntelle, and pampered chef stuff (the classic mixing bowl, decorating tube and tips, and the micro scraper) from Tyson's parents. It was a good time :) Happy birthday to me! </div>

Some sad news: My Uncle Jerry Stevens passed away September 5, 2012. It was definitely one of those bitter sweet passings for everyone. I did not get to spend much time with him since we never lived in the same place. But, the times I did get to spend with him at family reunions were awesome. He was a super hard-working man and definitely loved his family.<br />
<br />
I decided to fly to Mesa on Friday, September 7th, to be able to attend the funeral on September 8th. It was a short trip for Aria and me. There was was drama when I thought I had lost my cell phone and had no phone numbers written down. But, I ended up finding my cell phone (I still don't know how it ended up on the bottom of my bag) after arriving in Mesa. Phew!<br />
<br />
I was able to stay with my Aunt Miriam and Uncle Chief (thank you!) and then we drove to the funeral on Saturday in St. Johns, AZ. My parents and brother Justin were also able to come to the funeral, along with all of my Mom's siblings and spouses. It was nice to see everyone. It's hard to keep up with everyone when there is such a big family (11 siblings + 10 spouses + 60 cousins + their spouses + cousins' kids), so it was nice to get a quick update on a lot of people.<br />
<br />
The funeral was nice - not super long, but definitely to the point. I am so glad that I was able to go. At least Uncle Jerry is in a better and more peaceful place.<br />

Sunday I got to go to church with one of my good friends from VA who moved to AZ about a month after we moved to NV! Even though the visit was short, it was great to be able to see Jana, Joe, and kids. After the visit, Jana brought me back to my Aunt and Uncle's house where we chatted with my parents and some of my aunts and uncles until I had to go to the airport. Then it was back to Las Vegas. My trip was short, but it was worth it. The older I get, the more and more I appreciate all the support I receive from my family and friends.Janae Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10834914000206034292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630612710076811347.post-64799818366397654242012-12-15T18:03:00.003-05:002012-12-15T18:03:45.631-05:00Springs Preserve <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Labor Day weekend was a treat. :) We had been planning on going to the Springs Preserve and most of the Walker clan was able to join us (including Jared and Beckie who live in L.A.)! The major highlights of our trip was seeing the bird show (live birds - amazing!), the snake (pictures below), and watching water rush under our feet! If you are looking for an interesting place to go in Las Vegas, that is not the typical Las Vegas scene, I highly recommend the Springs Preserve. </div>

Sorry. :( With moving to a new house, painting the entire thing, packing the old house, cleaning the old and new houses, hosting Thanksgiving, teaching YW every week (and even being in charge of an activity) and getting ready for a birthday and Christmas - I have just been busy. But, more posting is soon to follow. Christmas is pretty much done, so I will have a few spare minutes on my hands.

The end of August was full of exciting things, some which seem normal, but are exciting nonetheless. August 22nd we got rain in Las Vegas! It was instantly flooded (as is custom in Las Vegas) and just so much fun! The kids ran around in pjs, then got cold. So, they put their coats on and ran around some more. All-in-all a good time had by the whole clan. :) </div>

The weekend of Aria's birthday we also had a fun visit from Kristy and James! They are in Provo right now where Kristy is finishing up her Master's degree and James is working and recently graduated with his Bachelor's degree. Since school had not started yet, Shauntelle and I invited them down here for a visit. We had a fun times on Saturday and Sunday which I already posted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Monday we had a great time swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Walker's house and then we all went to Shauntelle and John's for FHE. Tuesday they head back to Provo because school was about to start and Kristy was heading up some activities. It was a short visit, but really nice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was just nice to be able to spend some time with Kristy and James since we haven't gotten to see them super often. In fact, besides the wedding day, I had never seen James. I did not seem him again until April when we went to Provo for BYU graduation. So, for face-to-face time is always a good thing. :) I am so happy that they made the drive here to see us. That is definitely a perk of living in Las Vegas - I am close in proximity to my sisters. Yeah for girl bonding time! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kids loved playing around with them as well - especially jumping on Uncle James and playing Star Wars Wii (well, that was only Reed and James). They loved it!</div>

John and Shauntelle forgot the present they got for Aria on her birthday, so we got it the next day. The girls picked it out because it was a place where Aria could go and hide from other people - especially in new situations. Love those girls! Aria LOVES it!<br />

August 19, 2012 - Aria's 1st birthday and our 6th Anniversary! I am afraid her birthday will pretty much always trump our anniversary, but we can celebrate our anniversary other days. It was Sunday, so we did normal Sunday things first: got ready for church and then went to church. We came back had lunch and then Aria and Eve went down for their naps. That's when I did the little bit of decorating that ended up happening. Here is what I did:</div>

Then, we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Walker's house. It was definitely a full house: Adam & Kimber & boys, our family, Grandma & Grandpa Walker, Tifani, John & Shauntelle & girls, and Kristy & James. We had pork salads/burritos and it was fabulous! For her dessert, I made Aria dairy- and soy-free rice krispie treats and she also had an otter pop. She was pretty much the happiest girl in the world!<br />

Aria turned 1 on August 19, 2012. I can't believe that I have 3 kids all older than 1! Time really does fly. Since her birthday was on a Sunday, I decided to have a little 'party' for her the day before. We invited our family to Lied's Discovery Children's Museum for another day of fun. We had tons of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Walker, Adam, Kimber, Vance, Carter, Kade, Tifani, Shauntelle, Mary, Evyn, Isla, James, and Kristy! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We played and played! I never get tired of that place -- so kid/family friendly. Love, love, love it! </div>

After leaving the museum, we went to In-n-Out for lunch and then went home for naps. Since Kristy and James were in town, I went to mall to meet up with Shauntelle and Kristy for a sister's day. We walked around, put on the display make-up at Victoria's Secret where Kristy discovered that they do still sell Lovespell (great day for her!), bought some kitchen stuff with Kristy's wedding gift card, and then found a random Mexican restaurant to eat at.<br />
<br />
It was really nice to be with my sisters again. It's fun to just be a little girlie and talk about everything. I love my sisters :)<br />

It's hard to believe that kids grow as fast as they do. The first year always boggles my mind. I think they grow the fastest and change the most in that first year. When they are born, the are pretty helpless (other than their ability to cry on their own). By the time they turn 1, they are almost walking, have grown a ton, have tripled in weight (usually), are eating on their own, have a blazing personality, and most definitely have opinions on things. I think the years after that first one only add upon the things that happen in the first year. Just a food for thought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Little Miss Aria is growing a ton - well, she is not gaining as much weight as my other 2, but she is still on the right track. I have forgotten to post her recent stats, so here they are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6-month check-up: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Weight: 13 lbs, 15 oz. (10%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Height: 26 in. (60%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Head Circumference: 16.75 in. (50%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9-month check-up:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Weight: 15 lbs., 15 oz. (5%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Height: 27.25 in. (25%)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Head Circumference: 44 cm.(25-50% - new office in Vegas does it in cm and puts a range- don't know why)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, she is a little thing, there is no denying it. But, she eats more than Reed and Eve and sleeps great! She is hitting all her milestones at the very latest when she is supposed to, usually earlier than is 'normal.' I just have a petite baby. I have come to terms with the fact that she won't be a chunky baby and I love her petite-ness now. She is such a cute little thing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One funny thing about Aria's teeth is how they have come in. She got her two bottom, middle teeth first. That was as expected. The next thing I expected was to see her two top, middle teeth come in. Well, I was wrong. Instead the two teeth on either side of the top, middle teeth came in! So, basically it looks like she has fangs (or at least it did for a few months). Yes, I have a vampire baby! I couldn't get a picture for the longest time because she wouldn't smile big enough in pictures, but July 11th I succeeded! Here is cute little Aria on July 11th, showing off her fangs. </div>

Another part of my kids growing up is that they can all be in the bath at the same time. This is so much easier for me, but I don't do it until the baby can hold their own in the tub. This can be quite a feat with Reed and Eve trying to take your toys or pour water on you. Well, Aria made and loves bath time with her siblings. I think she is just excited to be a big girl now. She gets to take a bath in a lot more water and more toys. Yahoo!<br />

Another thing that Aria loves is to the play the piano! I am so excited that she already loves to play. Reed and Eve both loved to play at this age as well. Here she is showing off her skills! July 20, 2012<br />
