Shaye's Two Year Pictures

Shaye loves to tease, her favorite joke? "Guess what?! Chicken butt!!!!"  Her favorite toy is her chubby baby, and she has to take it everywhere.  She has a set of blankets that are the only blankets she will use, and she has to have one with her to nap.  They are the two Grandma Liechty made her when she was born, Grandma made Justus two also, so if hers are being washed, she is okay to have the substitute, but not for long.  Her favorite color is PINK, PINK, PINK!  She is outgoing and keeps up with all the friends cruising around the neighborhood. She would jump on the trampoline all day if I would let her.  She is quite the daredevil; she will climb as high as she can get anywhere and when she swings, no regular push will do.  It has to be "high in the sky," and she's quick to tell you if it's not high enough.  Her favorite TV show is Mickey Mouse Club house, and her favorite food is Mac and Cheese, although she prefers milk to anything.  The favorite moments of my day are spent early each morning with Shaye insisting on a sipper of milk and cuddling in bed with Mom.  This girl amazes me, she is smart, caring, and super sassy.  Shakespeare described this girl perfectly when he wrote, "Though she be but little, she is fierce."  Shaye does not let anyone get in the way of what she wants, she is strong and stubborn, and we love every ounce of her. 

Our Minnie Birthday

Shaye had such a fun 2nd birthday!  She had so many friends come celebrate with her, and she loved every second of it.  She got totally spoiled, of course, so thank you to everyone who helped make that such a special day for her!  We are so blessed to have this Minnie Princess in our lives, she is so crazy and sweet.  Love you, Girl!

Happy Easter!

We had an amazing Easter!  Hope you did too!

Party Fit For a Super Hero

 Justus turned four on the 21st and we had so much fun celebrating!  He woke up to a fully decorated party room and "worm cakes (If you've scene Hotel Transylvania, you'll know what I'm talking about)."  Dustin got off work at noon and we headed for Crystal Hot Springs for some swim time and finished the day off with a saddle ride at Texas Roadhouse. 

 Friday night we had a big Superman party with cousins and friends.  He's got some pretty amazing cousins... they made it a party full of super heroes!  Could any four year old ask for more?!?!

 We love our guy so much!  He has given us four amazing years! 

Happy Holidays!

December is just getting started and we've already had so much fun!  We got to go down to Salt Lake and see the amazing lights on Temple Square.  Every time we go, I'm always so impressed by the work that goes into making it look gorgeous.  We also adopted our Elf on the Shelf, Avalanche.  He's in for one crazy December at our house!  The kids have had so much fun with him already, they are both so excited to find him every day.  We hope your December is as magical as ours!!

Eighteen Months

We can't believe this sweet little chica is already 18 months old!!!  She is loving every minute of it!  She is a teaser girl wandering around trying to surprise everyone with a "BOO!"  She loves blankies and babies (real or play).  She is our dancing queen and she has some really great moves.  Shaye is quite the reader, she is always wanting to look at books.  She says anything you want her to except her own name, she refuses to say "Shaye."  She refers to herself as "baby."  I have to wonder if it's a conscious effort on her part to remind us that she is the baby and if she conseeds and refers to herself as "Shaye" she is no longer our "baby."  She wears size 3 diapers, size 4 shoes, is in the 33% for height, and the 3% for weight.  She is quite the climber, I think she's realized she can see more of her world from up high, so that's where she intends to be.  We can't help but love on this baby girl, she cracks us up, and melts our hearts with her sweet baby ways.

Happy Halloween!!!
