What a Great Day....

I woke up yesterday morning and felt that fall had officially hit! My toes were cold walking around the hardwood floors. I made a mental note that I was in need of some good slippers. My favorite slippers had seen their day and I had to throw them away. I went out to do a little shoe shopping for Cole and where did we go? Good old Target! I forget how much I like Target.

I love the dollar bins they have at the front of the store. Dangerous but fun. I found Sunday shoes for Cole and socks and a fall outfit for Dailey. A few other things I could not pass up too.

But my favorite purchase was these babies. Oh I have seen my cute little sis, who had these also but I did not know how dang comfortable these were. I absolutely love them.

They are so warm, and are now my favorite little purchase I made at Target.

Mom's Birthday

Grandma and the three newest little granddaughters!

We spent the day with Grandma!

We went to Kneaders for lunch than to Gardner Village to walk around.

We all met later that evening for dinner. Chili and breadsticks yum.

Than cake and presents.

Mom (Grandma) we sure love you and enjoy being with you every chance we get!

Dailey's Blessing Day!

Three Generations!

Dailey was blessed on Sunday September 6, 2009.

Dailey's blessing day was so nice. Grandma Bush made her blessing dress. It is so amazing. She made her a slip and the bow she is wearing. She also made matching bracelets for me and Dailey both. The dress is absolutely perfect. My favorite part is the tatting around both the collar and the sleeves of the dress. Tatting takes a pretty talented person and that is what my mother is! Just bragging a little about my good Mom! Not only did she sew this dress but she hand stitched a quilt for the crib. She got it all done before the blessing day. She is truly amazing! Thanks Mom you made the blessing day so special.

Dailey did really well during the blessing. So it was asking a little much for the photo shoot afterwards. It was feeding time and she was letting me know it.

Just A Little Cole and Mom Time!

Since our sweet baby girl was born our sweet big boy has turned not so sweet as he once was. Wow saying that makes me feel bad. Cole has always been such a good little boy. He was always happy and funny and polite. Oh he still is, I know but wow its been a crazy month.

It seems that the past month has brought out such a roller coaster of behavior. He throws tantrums just to throw them. If you walk up to him and say "hi" he will grunt or growl at you.

One minute he is happy as can be and the next he is screaming at the top of his little lungs!

Boy oh Boy, this is just what I was afraid of. The last month of my pregnancy I was thinking of how I could make the transition smooth and make sure he still would get the attention he needs. I am not sure I pictured it like this though.

I decided that maybe he needed a little alone time with Mom. So I took him on our own outing with no baby sister. Which made for good Dailey and Daddy time. I asked him if he wanted ice cream and he said" maybe some gumballs" so we stopped at the dollar store for Gumballs! Than we went miniature golfing. It was so fun just to be with him! Not to worry about the next feeding time and to be able to play around. He is quite the golfer. We topped the evening off with a little ice cream too! It was a fun evening and boy do I love him!

Dailey Lynne Dearden July 20, 2009

Dailey was born at 11:36 on Monday July 20th at Jordan Valley Hospital.

She weighed 7lb and 1 oz. She is perfect! We are so excited to have her in our little family.

We were so excited to bring her home. We left the hospital on Wednesday morning. Coleman was so excited to have her home. He is so cute with her and loves to come up and tickle her. He has found out that she does take some of his attention away. He is still getting use to that. He does really well though.

I have been having fun putting bows and picking out her outfits. She is so dang cute. We sure love her and are so glad she is here and healthy!

I have been so blessed to have two beautiful children! I am so lucky to be a stay at home mom. Thanks Kevin! I love it and would not want it any other way. Even though I am getting little sleep these days, I really don't mind getting up and taking care of little babies. Most nights anyway. Ha ha.

I also wanted to Thank family and friends for the Dinner's and visit's and all the help. I have also been blessed with wonderful family and a great ward and friends!!!

Bear Lakin' with the Bushes in June!

We went to Bear Lake in June. Yes the beginning of June. Can you say cold. We wanted to go one last time before little Jim now Elder Bush left on his mission. Cole loved the water! He had so much fun jumping in to Dad's arms.
We spent an entire week there. Most of our days were cloudy, rainy, and cold! We still had fun though. We did the "lake experience" ok some of us did. I stayed back with the girls and kids while all the boys went in and swam around for a short time. Pretty sure that cold of water would not be good for my unborn baby.
We played in the sand a short time than we hit the pool. Let's be honest it was cold so we really went to the hot tub. A cold year to be pregnant and not be able to get all the way in, not to worry I had company with three of us pregnant!
We had the unit above the store. They have done a lot of remodeling this year. Cole loved running downstairs and hopping on his scooter.

Cole kept saying; "I'm really fast huh"

We had a lot of fun!

We had a BBQ on one of the nights it was not raining.

The kids making S'Mores.

Following dinner we let the kids play a little with Croquet than we had the adults play and boy did it get pretty intense! We had a few cheaters and a few people who may need to brush up on the rules. ha ha.

We had Grandma and Grandpa's annual treasure hunt. Which the kids love! They each got to take a turn and dig for the buried treasure.

Congratulations on your MBA Babe!

Last Saturday was the last day of school for Kevin. Wahoooo! He has been doing a two year program through the Utah State Extension program. We will now get our weekends back! I am so proud of him. He has been going to school almost our whole married life and working full time while doing it. He is so amazing to be able to juggle home, work, church, and school. Now it's the fun of getting ready for the CPA Exams!
Way to go Kevin we think you are Awesome!!!
