Jessica Has Brown Hair!!

Shawnee Smart But!

So the other day we are at Wal-mart and Shawnee runs from us. we never lost her but she took off when Dayne got to her he said, "If you ever run from us again I am going to throw all of your toys away" She replied with "throw em". I guess we better be careful what we say because obviously we can't throw all of her toys away. Then today Hunter asked her to do something and she said "NO" to which Hunter said ok I am going to call your daddy. Now normally this would have upset her and she would do whatever it was you were wanting her to do but not today she looked at Hunter and said. "Call my Daddy!!"

Sarcastic Shawnee!!!!!

Seriously how the heck do two year olds learn how to be sarcastic and sneaky joke players. It is just to cute. Today I braided her hair and this is how the conversation with granny went...

Granny-Shawnee your mom made your hair look very pretty today.
Shawnee- no I did it
Granny- Are you sure I don't think so.
Shawnee- I did it I did it.
Granny- OK
Shawnee- I just joking with ya!!!

Seriously what a smarty pants. I love her though so adorable. I could go on because she was full of them today but that one had my mom and I laughing pretty hard. She is such a stinker!!!

Ok so last night I made several bows for a baby gift. Look at my masterpieces. Two of the ones I made last night anyways. My favorites!! I am in love with animal print anything and pink and brown were made for each other!!

Somebody!!!!

Ok so with the very big possibility that we will be moving Dayne and I are trying to get rid of some things before we go so that we are not taking a lot of junk with us. Even if we do not end up in the house at least we got rid of some stuff. I decided to start in Shawnee's room. Kelly gave me some advice and I took it. I told Shawnee that we were going to give some of her stuffed animals and toys to children who didn't have any. To my surprise she was more then ok with this. I would ask her do you want to keep this or give it to somebody else she would replie with "somebody" !! So sweet, it got to the point were I would picksomething up and she would just say either bed or somebody. She gave things away that I expected her to want to keep. I believe by the end of it the give away pile was bigger than the keep pile.

The most beautiful place ever!!

This is my favorite picture that I took while we were in Utah. The Salt Lake Temple is very special to my family. Both mine and Dayne's parents were married in this beautiful Temple. I am just amazed that this beautiful Temple wasbuilt with no moderen Tools. I just love this Temple it looks like a castle.

My Favorite Picture!!!

This is my favorite picture that I took while in Utah. The Salt Lake Temple is very important to my famiolyBoth my parents and Daynes's parents were married in this temple. I think it is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen.

GREAT OMA and OPA!

We also got to meet oma's mom and dad great grandma and grandpa Sinfield. We stayed at Oma's sister's house Aunt Dot. Way Fun!!! This was very special we do not get to see them often. I want my kids to be able to have memory of their great grandparents like I have of my great grandma Doty.

THE SHEPHERD GATHERING!!

While we were in Utah we able to take the kids to see their great great grandma butterfield. I have always thought that it is very special that my children have a great great grandparent that they have at least gotten to meet and hope that they are able to get to know. Great great grandma butterfield is a celebrity to my family. Such a sweet and sassy lady. We just love her so much.

THE CABIN!!!

Ok so we got to stay at my uncle Fred's house. The scenery in Utah is beautiful. If it didn't so cold I may would move there but don't tell Dayne he would be packing us up. It was the most beautiful house I have ever seen. Decorated just right. Cozy and comfy just by sitting in the different rooms you knew that you were in the mountians the view from the deck was amazing. It was so great to see Uncle Fred I miss him so much. We do not get to see him as much as we use to. I hope he gets to come to thanksgiving this year. Check out the view! This is my Uncle Fred.

UTAH TRIP!! Shiloh's big day!!

Ok so we just recently went to Utah. For Shiloh's sealing. For those of yall who do not know her she is my cousin. We were really close as children. I do not think that I had seen her in about 8 years. I didn't realize how much I missed her. I also got to see her mom Aunt suzanne, my cousin Heidi and her mom and dad, and my cousin serina and her children. It was so amazing to be able to see all of these people that I love so much but do not get to see very often. Here are a few pictures.

STAY AT HOME MOM!!!

Ok so my dreams have come true. I get to be a stay at home mom. I am so excited! I don't know that Shawnee isvery excited though I have already had to crack down on her. Time out after time out. I'm such a mean mom! Not really! I am loving being at home. My house stays clean, my laundry stays done, and I get to raise my children the way that i want them raised. PLus I enjoy coloring and cooking with Shawnee. I also enjoy holding Kayson. Since I have to make some money I have started a in hoe daycare and I love it. I love to watch and teach children. As many of you know I want to teach elementary school. this way however I get to be at home with my own children and still get to do what I love to do.

STAY AT HOME MOM!!

PICTURE OF OUR HOUSE!!!

Here is a picture of our house! Not to good of picture. I had to scan it in from our inspection page. We Love it! I just asked Shawnee what this was and she said that it was her house the one with the stairs. She loves this house. Why wouldn't she it has a huge game room. Can not wait for July 20th!! It will be here before we know it.

FINANCING!!!

So we were approved for financing! The inspection went well! SO if everything else plays out the way it is suppose to we will be closing july 20th we are getting very excited. We will be moving to Anna so that is a little bit of a bummer that we have to get comfortable with a new area. I am horrible with directions so i am sure that I will get lost. Although, it is Anna so it is not to big. Shawnne is excited to be moving into a house with stairs. This whole house hunt has been kind of fun with Shawnee. We would stop and get a flyer to look at and Shawnee would sit in the back and say "I want to see the home I want to see the home". She also remembered the houses. It was cute now she tells us that she want the house with the stairs. She has her own opinion that is for sure. DOES this look like a little a girl that knows what she wants??

THE HOUSE HUNT!

THE House hunt is almost complete! We found a house to hopfully call home very soon. Four bedrooms three and a half baths, two living areas. We are getting way excited. Made an offer they accepted. Waiting on finances to go through. Getting excited we close the 20th of July or sooner. Can not wait!
