Davyn turns 1!!!

 Ok, and now for the AWESOME cake that DAD made!  Yes, you read that right, Robbie made this cake!  I cooked the cake, and he totally frosted the whole thing!  He rocks!

 So good right!?  Guess all of those episodes of Cake Boss paid off!

 Couldn't wait when there was fire on it.

 Not so sure when given the go-ahead.

Got her foot in it - Hated it!  Apparently we've discovered her pet peeve.  Dirty feet!

Of course it wouldn't be a Dias birthday if others didn't get to enjoy the cake as much as the birthday girl!

Snow Canyon Caves 10-2-10

We went to the Snow Canyon Caves - all of us!  It was quite the adventure lifting and lowering all of the kids into the opening.  Once we were inside, it was a blast.  It would have been even more fun if we had remembered to bring flashlights!  Oops!

 

 While we were all getting out, it started to downpour.  We all rushed back, but had to snap one last picture of the beautiful Snow Canyon Mountains!

I think that's a raindrop!

Davyn at 14 Months

Davster is my little TERROR! 
I had it really good with Skye because she never got into anything.
Dav never doesn't get into things. 
If I get after her for one thing, she doesn't mind the discipline, just crawls straight over to the next mess she is going to make.  Makes me crazy.
Skye hated a little swat on the bum, and it doesn't even phase Dav.
Sheesh, what am I going to do?!?!
I am sure there will be pictures of her great messes to come.

Dav has the 4 teeth on top, 4 on bottom, PLUS 4 molars!  

She is a teething machine.  

Non-stop runny nose.

She hates a dirty diaper.

When I ask if she wants her diaper changed, she pulls at her pants.

Loves the bath.

When asked if she wants one she says, "ba." while pulling at her shirt.

No one can make her laugh like Skye.  

She loves it when Skye tickles her feet, or blows on her belly.

Started waving for Hi and Bye.

My Cute Skye

Skye does cute things daily, but some I would be so sad if I didn't remember.  Today was one of those days.  This was actually between her and her dad.  We have this Princess Cookbook, and she LOVES it!  She asks to look at it all the time.  Today I was making cookies, and she spied the book.  She asked to look at it, and I said, "You need to look at it with Dad."  I don't think Robbie has ever experienced 'the book' with her before.  So they sat at the kitchen table, and she EXCITEDLY showed him recipe (picture) after recipe.  More excited about each one than the last, if that's possible.  After a few recipes, Robbie said he had to go to the bathroom.  He went in, and seconds later, she was at the door telling him about the next recipe.  She would tell him about it, and then put the book under the door so he could see the picture.  Then she would pull it out and tell him about the next recipe, then under the door.  Then, she slid the book under the door and said leave it right there, I have to go to the bathroom. :)  After they were both done, she made him start back at the beginning and show him every one.  Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me for her next birthday!

Swimming 8-20-10

We went swimming for FHE and the girls loved it!  We went to the Washington Community Center.  What a blast.  Dav loved this swing so much, I couldn't take her out.  Skye went on the hydrotube over and over again!  We need to go there more often!

Our 19 Week Ultrasound

When we went to the ultrasound to find out the gender of this baby we were pretty excited.  Having 2 girls, we weren't getting our hopes of having a boy up.  We were both counting on another girl.  Our tech was looking around, and he was in weird positions, so we just kept looking.  She held on one spot, and we both just looked at the screen.  We both knew what we thought we saw, but just stared.  Finally I said, "Is it a boy?"  She said it was and Robbie jumped out of his chair and yelled, "It's a boy!" it was so cute!  His little yell totally scared the tech.  When I had my appointment with Dr. Lunt, a week later, he asked if Robbie had gotten over the excitement.  I am so excited to be having a boy.  I don't really talk about him because it is so weird.  I am nervous to see how it changes the dynamic of our family.  We all have a hard time saying the words brother, son, him, he, etc. they just sound out of place.  In the morning Robbie says bye to his girls, what will he be saying soon?  I don't know how/where to shop for a boy, girls are so easy, and I am a girl.  Boy diapers?  Really?!?!  Don't know how to change 'em.  Exciting times are ahead!  Can't wait to meet him, and see which of his sisters he looks like.  Still deciding on a name.

Bike Parade

 In Pre-School they learned about transportation.  They had a bike parade to show off the decorations they made for their bikes.  Skye got this big bike 2 days before the parade, and did great!  It was much bigger than most of the other bikes.  She is so stinkin cute!

What do we do when we go to the cabin???

February 2011

KILL COYOTES WITH OUR SNOWMOBILES...ssssshhhhh don't tell! They "accidentally" hit it with their snowmobiles.  The first night we got there, not more than 10 minutes after unloading everything, the boys said, "We are just going to go gas up the snowmobiles for tomorrow."  Innocent enough, they came home an hour later with their trophy.  Probably had to gas up again first thing in the morning :) This is a seriously huge dog!

Turn on the Ipod and DANCE for hours....literally hours!  

It may not look like it, but those are ALL 

very sophisticated dance moves.

PLAY VIRGINIA.   I think these two practice when no one 

is watching!  They are good!

 PLAY IN THE SNOW So Paul being Paul thought it would

be fun to jump into the snow on the deck from

Dan and Star's Deck!

RRRRREAD SOME BOOKS (spanish accent)

 HANG OUT WITH COUSINS!

CHILL

Skye Dill @ 4

These pictures are CLASSIC SKYE.

She is so much fun these days.

Such a cute personality.

Love her.

She is the biggest help with her little sister.

She seriously loves Davyn to death.

I couldn't ask for a better babysitter, 

her brother is in for a real treat.

She is so excited every morning to wake up and find out what we're doing that's fun.

So much like her dad in that way.

He will come home and she will tell him that we did nothin fun today.

Not true, we went to the park, and ran errands

not fun enough.

She is great, because I we do more fun things than we probably would have otherwise.

Skye loves to "stay up"

to her, that means watch tv till Mom and Dad go to bed.

We will be out till 10-11 or later, and when we get home and need to go to bed

she will be sad because we told her she could stay up.

She is such a party animal.

She likes to watch tv at night with us because she is a serious snuggler.

Hope she never grows out of it.

Loves to help out in the kitchen.

If I offer to have her help, she never turns me down.

She is getting really good at cleaning her room. 

When I do laundry, I fold their stuff, and lay in a pile the things that need to be hung up

she takes care of it all!

I think she will be glad when Dav can help though.  

For now she isn't complaining.

She is our movie buff.

You can quote a movie, and she can tell you what it's from.

Some of her favorite movies right now are Hook, Little Monsters, Never Ending Story 2

and The Labrynth.

Since she was little we have taken her to the theaters with us, so she is great.

When we ask her what she wants to do she will say,

"We could go to a movie, or play soccer, or go to the park"  

Movie is always at the top of her list.

We saw Tangled for her birthday, and ever since, she talks about how she is going to 

brush her hair all the time so she can have hair like Tangled.  She talks about how when 

she gets up in the morning she will be eating breakfast, and her hair will still be in her bed.

She seriously says some of the cutest things.  

I need to be better about writing them down.

Today's was:

"Hey Mom, do you think my voice is cute?"

Love you Skye

Not sure if 3 is the right age to start soccer..........

So, we signed the kids up for soccer. This is the first year we could.  It was fun, frustrating, silly, embarrassing, and mostly just fun.  They had a blast.  I'm not sure much skill was acquired, but they thought they were pretty cool!

 The Spectators.........kissing cousins

 The scary pep talk from DAD

 The inspiring words from Coach Stari (what do you say to 3 year olds?)

Favorite part of soccer!
