Lehi Days

Every year "Lehi" has what's known as Lehi Days. It's a rodeo/bbq with lot's of events to watch and activities for the kiddos. We try and take the kids every year.


Grandpa Mason rode Thad's quad down to the church to meet up with us and Keely had fun going for a little ride with him.

The girls' favorite activity was riding the ponies.


Jacey didn't want anything to do with the baby chicks at first but quickly changed her mind.

18 month's and counting...

My little Keely Weely turned 18 months old in February. I can't believe how fast time is flying and how much she is growing up. She is such a little fireball of energy.
18 month stats:
Weight: 32lbs-97th percentile
Height: 35"-97th percentile
(No surprises there)


She's not a talker yet but her favorite words are: More, No, BaBa (which is her word for any kind of drink), baby, BB (which means either Binky or Blankie) and of course Dada and Mama. Hopefully one of these days she'll expand her vocabulary :-)
She recently figured out how to open doors which is not a good thing. Jacey definitely does not like this because Keely can now walk freely into her room at anytime :-) I keep pointing out to Jacey that any day now they will be sharing a room, that doesn't matter to her.
We've tried nursery a few times and she does not like it but I think it's mainly because she's having a lot of separation anxiety lately, especially with Thad. If he is home, she has to be clinging to his side 24/7. She is definitely a Daddy's girl :-)

Valentines Day

Thad and I celebrated Valentine's this year by doing dinner and a movie again. Since I planned it all I chose my favorite restaurant, Claim Jumpers. They have the best stuffed baked potato w/homemade Alfredo sauce I have ever had. I could have it every day. Thad decided to take advantage of the holiday and order steak and lobster. The price wouldn't have hurt so bad if he hadn't downed the entire meal in about 5 minutes.
After dinner we went and saw the movie Valentine's Day. My expectations were really low so I was pleasantly surprised. We both thought it was funny.
On Sunday Thad surprised me with a dozen red roses and his intentions were to have breakfast made before I got up. Unfortunately, I got up, fed and bathed the kids before he ever woke up. Needless to say I had cereal for breakfast :-)

I couldn't resist taking pictures of my sweet Valentine in her new outfit and hat.
Keely had one too but I couldn't snag her fast enough for pictures.

Super Bowl Sunday

I'm not a fan of football but knowing that I wouldn't be able to get out of watching the Super Bowl I thought I'd might as well make the best of it.
Mara came over and brought a VERY large shirt with her for Jacey to wear. Jacey thought it was her new PJ's, lol.


Mara helped Jacey make pizza's and I made WAY too many other little snacks that lasted us the rest of the week. Jacey had so much fun making her on pizza.

Shoe Fetish

Keely is obsessed with shoes. Her favorites are Jacey's princess shoes but if she can't find those she'll settle for Mommy's shoes or any other shoes she can find. She'll be wearing shoes and decide she needs more on top of the ones she's wearing. She gets quite upset when then don't fit.
I am always amazed at how well she can run in these high heels. She runs all over the house in them and they never fall off. As you can see by the pictures below, she's not picky about the colors or whether or not they are on the right foot :-)

Ultrasound results

Most of you already read my news on facebook but don't know the story behind my post so here goes :-)
Thad and I (and the girls) went to the Dr. Thursday morning to find out what we are having. The nurse came in and asked ME "How is everything going, are you having any problems, etc...?". Thad immediately chimes in "OH my GOSH, I'm dying. My wife is sick all of the time and always cranky and I have to cook, clean, AND watch the kids. What kind of medicine can you give me????". The nurse just rolled her eyes at him. Then he continued his rant by saying "I can't believe we are having another baby. I thought we were done. I don't even know how it happened, I was just watching t.v at the time."
WHAT?????? Seriously, who says something like that (besides Thad)?????
The nurse looks at him and says "You guys belong on Dr. Phil".
As soon as the nurse left I turned to Thad and said "What the heck is your problem? Keep your mouth shut when the Dr. comes in. You've already embarrassed me enough for one lifetime."
So, the Dr. comes in and does the ultrasound. When he tells us it's a BOY, Thad chimes in again with "WHAT????, OH MY GOSH, this baby is going to cost me a fortune!!!! Dr., are you sure you didn't make a mistake. If we have a girl my wife doesn't have an excuse to go out and buy all new everything." The Dr. looked at him and said "At least you don't have 6 boys like me". Ha, ha....
The Dr. said that it was pretty darn obvious that it is a boy and showed us the printed proof. Thad of course chimes in again and says "Yep, he takes after his Father!!!".


Seriously, I can't remember the last time Thad has embarrassed me so bad. He is not allowed out in public ever again. Heaven help me if my "boy" turns out anything like him :-)


I"m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I won't be able to re-use all my cute outfits, hairbows, shoes, etc.... on this new baby. I'm praying my sister Gina has a girl and I can pass them along to her.
Oh well, Thad was right. I do have a great excuse to go shopping now :-)
