I feel like I need to blog!

Okay so it has been months!! Jim and I have been busy busy busy!! Paytyn is getting so big and there is so much I want to remember. So I have been feeling like I need to blog. I worked for the State of Utah for 7 months. Paytyn went to a daycare/pre-school and she seemed to really like it. She also had a babysitter. She seems to be talking more and more each day. She likes singing. She likes princess,Thomas the train, dinosaurs and BABIES! She had a faze of sleeping in mine and Jim's bed. It was hard! But she is getting back to sleeping in her bed! Jim went to Albuquerque,MN for the summer. He tried a new job and it didn't work out.I know stay home with miss Pay Pay. She is so funny. She started asking us for a little sister. Just out of the blue one day she told us we needed to get her a baby sister. Jim Told her you buy them at the store. So all that day she demanded we go to the store and get her a baby sister. Sadly we can not just go to the store and pick up babies(its called kidnapping). So I explained to her, that babies grown in mommies tummy. Now she tells people I have a baby in my belly. She Just turned 3!! For her birthday we went to Chuck-E-Cheese. She loved it! It was a over priced but she caught on quick how to put tokens in the games and play.She likes putting puzzles together. She can do a few 24 piece puzzles on her own. She really likes playing with "the pad"(Jim's work ipad). She has a few Thomas the train games that keep her pretty busy during sacrament meeting.She really likes going to nursery and 9 out of 10 times she goes without crying. Jim is working hard as usual. I keep busy with Paytyn. We are down to one car so Paytyn and I get to take walks to the store if we need something. She seems to enjoy it cause she usually gets a donut to eat on the way home.

Its been so long!!

 Just a random picture, I love when pay picks out her own clothes, yes that's her swimsuit with a dress....

 At the Zoo, Paytyn went with 3 of her cousins. She wanted to ride the carousel and of course she picked the monkey to ride. She is on a Monkey kick right now.

 Paytyn with baby grace. they are such cute girls....Sikora girls know how to make stinkin' cute kids. Paytyn didn't want to give up baby grace. She was really funny. She doesn't want to hold real babies but loves dolls, so when she wanted to hold grace and not let her go it was different.

 HAPPY 5 YEARS!! Paytyn was sick all week long so by Friday I was done, with sick little girls and being up all  night. It was our anniversary and Jim surprised me with a babysitter and dinner. So here is us at dinner. He is such a great husband and father. I'm so lucky to have him. What can I say about him. He is still the guy I love after 5 years af marriage. He still makes me laugh and smile and thats all that really matters.

 Fried pickles. Jim told me I had to try them. I love pickles, so I tried and of course they suprised me and I liked them.

 Thanksgiving point, Cornbelly's! So much fun, I went with 2 girls from work and thier kids. Paytyn and I had a blast and it tired her out!

 Yes this was the best picture of Pay and me on the hay ride.

 Mini corn maze for little ones and she loved it!

 Paytyn and me playing in the corn.

 Paytyn playing in the corn. It got everywhere! I came home and found it in my jeans!

 Paytyn and Toby on her cow ride.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYTYN!! Here is Paytyn with Harry Potter(or her cousin Nino).

 Her Birthday cake. She loved it.

 Opening presants, She got a ton!  Yes she is a little spoiled.

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Paytyn and her friend Oby(or Toby).  She had a ton of fun trick or treating with him.

 At our church's trunk or treat, well it was all inside cause of the weather. but it was fun. I've never done a trunk or treat and this was our first. It was fun by the end of church paytyn finally got what you do.

 Paytyn and her friend Toby, He came with us to the trunk or treat.

 Carving a pumpkin. Pay didn't want to get her hand dirty so she didn't want to touch. Jim told me he doesn't like Halloween so he didnt want to do it, but he helped by taking pictures.

I was cutting out the mouth and there where teeth, and then I was popping out the mouth part, and the teeth fell out with it!!

Paytyn's first pair of panties! Yes we are going to start potty training this week! Ive talked to many moms and I like the idea of putting on panties and she will learn that she doesnt like being wet....And Yes Ive changed LOTS of wet damp clothes from kids so I know what im in for.

So here she is washing her hands....No she didnt notice I was taking  pictures until right about .........

NOW! Yes she turned around looked at me pulled her tush out, and yes Jim does this EXACT same pose!

She is a stinker! How can you not laugh at this girl!

I love this Nuddie Bootie girl. After these pictures were taken she played in the bathroom, and when I came to check on her she had her unders on inside out and she was flushing the toliet. She is so funny! Oh and yes we got a fish, his name "moo moo", She loves him and gives him good nite kisses. She also LOVES Monster Inc, so after days and forever of seaching I found a sulley plush....SHE Loves it. The first nite he had to sleep with her, and the next day he went to the park with us. Sulley watching us play on the swings.Just playing outside on her scooter. She is getting so big! She is so fun and its just getting better everyday!

Summer Fun Part 2!

Jim and I had a little fun of our own. We shot at "star" targets. I think I did pretty well for one of my first times target shooting. Just cause its a fun photo of us. We really did have fun playing against each other. Yes Jim Is better then me....But come one really, he shoots at least once a month with the Army, and he has been trained by the US Government. I think I did pretty well once I the hang of it.

Yes you can still see my star, but not all of it!

We were waiting for the fireworks to star......and playing too.

What can I say, I can't stop kissing and hugging her. I love her to much! She is so amazing!

Pay playing. She so much fun to watch play and grow.

Yes my daughter is the only one that falls asleep during the fireworks. It was about 10:45 when the fireworks started, so Pay was pretty much done when they started. She did watch a few but liked snuggling  in her blanket and watching.

So with Paytyn getting so big! I thought I would Say what she has been up to these days. She loves singing, even if she doesn't know the words she will still sing. The eensy weensy spider, her ABC's and Do as I'm doing. are some of her favorites. I was working with her to catch kisses after someone blows a kiss. She is talking more and more. She loves "Boo" or as you might know it as Monster inc. Its her favorite movie. She loves reading books, she likes baby dolls, and animals. She gets very excited about any kind of animals. She thinks its funny when you count 1-2-3 she will always say TWOOO. She is so funny. Jim is working hard! He was been working all weekend! I had to work as well, so our weekend was filled with work! Jim is such a hard worker! He is great at what he does and seems to love it most days. I'm still working and it seems to getting busier and busier. But in a few weeks I will be going to Part-time and then.....Maybe I'll be able to stay home pretty soon (fingers crossed).

Summer Fun! Spanish Fork, Carnival!

Okay so this weekend was really one of the first weekends that Jim and I had off together where we weren't working or boating and able to do something just as a family! It was so much FUN!! Of course I took a ton of pictures. Well after we both relaxed at home and took our time getting ready for the day. We went to pick up my car, where Jim left it at a job site. Then we headed to the car wash. Yes my car was so DIRTY!! After the car wash we went and got sandwich's and yogurt. One of our favorite frozen treats. Then Jim found a game shop, and we looked at board games. We called Brittany and head to the bowling ally. Yes, we needed socks and that was a reason we called Brittany, but we have fun with  her too! Paytyn LOVED bowling. I have never seen her so happy to play a game with us like this before. She wanted to bowl and cheer us on. She clapped after we bowled, yelled and laughed. So I think it will have to be something we all do together again, soon....After bowling we headed to the Spanish Fork Carnival. We got tickets and put Paytyn on a few rides. I rode the one's that she was to small to do by herself. She liked a few of the rides more then some. But seem to have fun. We got our favorite carnival drink, Texas Twister. So good. Then walked around rode a few more rides with pay, and then headed to the fireworks. We got to the fireworks got a good parking spot(easy to get in and easy to get out), found a good spot to watch from, and waited, and waited and then waited some more......The fireworks didn't start until about 10:45! Then they only lasted about 15 minutes. A few of the fireworks were really low. But It was a great day! Jim is wore out, Paytyn had fun, and now I'm blogging.....Here are our pictures finally.....

Jim bowling.Paytyn thinking she can hold a bowling ball herself."Why are you taking a picture of me"Jim really bowling, Him and Brittany were really good.....I don't know how they did it!At least I looked cute bowling......Paytyn is always cute! She just pushed the ball off the ramp. She loved it! This is where she would go when she wasn't bowling. Playing California crusin' It was a racing game, Jim put in quarter's to the game, we held the gas pedal and Paytyn steered.Jim.......is all I have to say......She really wasn't sure what to do.....but knew she should hold on.Riding a chicken, I thought a pony would be cute, but Daddy and Mebritt thought the chicken would be funner.....Yes, I said funner, get over it.Yes Paytyn was in there with me....It was hot and spinning, I will not do that ride ever again.....She didn't like this ride. She was screaming and kicking when I put her in the boat. But was fine as so as someone else got in the boat with her.Now she got that you wave when you see someone! She liked waving, and thought it was fun, this was the last ride of the night. Then we went to the fireworks. I will have pictures of the fireworks coming soon....I hope you all enjoyed!

Boat Weekend!

Okay so this past weekend, we went camping. It was for Jim's company boat day. We got in late Thursday night .  We set up camp and headed to bed. I got sick in the morning and felt bad that I was ignoring everyone. But Jim was great and help take care of Paytyn til I started feeling better. I really do have a wonderful husband.Daddy and Paytyn talking and playing by the water. one of the few moments Pay spent with Jim.She was a HUGE mama's girls this weekend. We found out even when she is mad at me for something, she will still come to me before she will go to Jim.Okay so we have a 2 man tent.....it didn't fit Paytyn. So Jim went and got us this tent. It's big enough to fit 2 queen size air mattress. And if you ever stayed at out house you would have slept on our air mattress. Yes we brought out areo bed camping.Here is Paytyn on the boat. She didn't like getting on the boat to much. But she warmed if she was with me. When we were going at low speeds on the boat, the boat would rock her to sleep. It was cute to watch.Here is Jim and some guys he works with. Well when Tod (Jim's boss) was driving the boat this harmless float would flip you around. When Toby( Tod's dad) drove the boat it was a nice peaceful ride on the water. Yes I did go on it and it was fun. Jim thought it would be fun to jump off of this. Then when the boat stopped I jumped off and we went swimming with Paytyn and 2 of Tod's kids. The water was really nice and it was fun to swim.This is Jim and I after our dinner on the boat. She was so cute on the boat. Yes She does keep her sunglasses on.Friday night it was very windy! And this little sun shade got tossed in the water. So Jim and Tod swam out to get it. This is them carrying it out of the water. Just cause Paytyn is a little wind blown. Here is Abigale and Paytyn.Abigale is "watching" Paytyn. She wanted to babysit Paytyn the whole time at the lake. And she was a pretty good little helper. She just didn't always want to play what Paytyn was playing.Here is Paytyn driving in the car. She thinks she is older then she is. Here is anotherr picture of Pay driving. She was singing and talking to herself while driving. She just loved looking at herself. She is so funny.

. This is Paytyn, Friday morning playing in the tent.She is a goober and likes to put on her sunglasses upside down.Here is the little miss playing by the water. She was really good and didn't go in. She just liked throwing rocks in the water. She was good......for a little bit.
