Spring is Here and we are so so HAPPY!

Well obviously I have been awful at posting  but we do have some very exciting news  Jayla will be a big sister in Oct. we will find out what we are having in June we are so so excited and cant wait for the new addition to our family! Jayla has gotten so big at her nine month apt she weighed 20 pounds and is 23 inches long she will be a shorty like her mommy. She is wanting to walk so very  bad its  so cute she will crawl to any where she can find to pull her self up, and it kind of scares me cause she is a little dare devil! She seems to think she should be able to walk and when she finds out she cant quite yet she cries! She has not really been interested in TV then only things she will watch is Mickey Mouse club house just for the first 15 minutes but Josh and I have memorized the movie Finding Nemo, She love love loves this movie she will sit and watch the entire thing and if you get in her way she gets mad. It is so funny cause she gets into the movie when the sharks are chasing dori she starts crying and then  when they get away she claps her hands it is the funniest thing ever because that is the only thing that she will actually sit still and watch and she could watch it all day long I swear, I tried to introduce her to new movies and she just wont watch them. I just know this girl is going to be obsessed with water and anything to do with water. If she is crying and I cant get her to calm down I turn on the faucet and she stops ha ha.

Well we have been on some fun trips, Nana,Jayla and I went to Utah for Auntie Juelaines Birthday. We had fun went shopping at the mall and well Jayla got to try lots of yummy treats cause well this girl I have yet to find something she wont eat ha ha. I was also impressed that she did so good in the car ride but did I mention we had a portable dvd player I think that helped!
Then my poor little girl was sick and Im sure all of you moms know how nasty it is to have your child throw up like a waterfall on you, yes that has happened to me many times and Im sure I still have more to come ha ha. But its awful when your kids are sick cause you want to take it away so bad and you really cant. That makes me think of our father in heaven and how hard it must be for him to see us go through times that are so hard and it makes me have so much more appreciation for my savior and all that he has gone through and is going through for us every day.

This picture makes my heart melt, after this poor baby had a long day of throwing up , she just wanted to snuggle with her daddy, these two are so much a like I just love it!
Speaking of which her daddy is just her hero, I can tell how much she loves him... When ever she see's him her face lights up and I just love it! Well it was Josh's Birthday April 5th and hes getting old the big 26 ha ha! We got him an iphone 4s for his Birthday gift and then we went to Hash House a go go wow those plates are so huge and it was a really fun restaurant!

 Jayla loves her cousin Jace and what do you know they made the same Facial Expression!

Then we spent Easter in Logandale with all the Waite and Holmstead cousin's!. It was so fun we went out early and Jayla had her first four wheeler ride with her daddy and it was so funny cause she fell right asleep on it! My mom had a bbq at the baseball fields with the Houston's,then they had put together some fun games and an Easter egg hunt for the kids. We did an adult egg toss and of course the eggs weren't hard boiled and Josh and I lost cause I dont have soft hands ha ha. Then Easter Sunday we  all had dinner at my Aunt Dawn's and the whole Waite clan was there it was so fun to see everyone.

 Sleepy girl!

 The three legged race, Josh and Tason were partners I think josh cheated though ha ha

Grandma and Grandpa Waite!

The Waite Family!

Jayla and her cousin Jace and bath time together ha ha. They were so cute cause Jace was like what is she doing in here with me, like it was his bath tub and she was invading. Then Jayla just wanted to swim every where and take Jaces toys poor Jace I dont think he liked that ha ha.

THE FAIR!

Jayla loved the Fair, especially the food! I had gotten terriaki Chicken on a stick and she picked it up with both hands and was tearing it off with her two front teeth it was the funniest thing ever, and then grandpa gave her some funnel cake she was in heaven. We took her to the small animal barn and she loved seeing all the little animals. When we showed her the duck in the cage she stuck her whole hand in there wanting to grab the duck, and I was just worried it would bite her! She loves her grandma and grandpa and it was fun to see all the expressions on her face, she is very observant! We would also like to congratulatte my little brother Zach for getting his mission Call to Scotland Ireland!

SUNDAYS!

I love getting her ready for church its so fun!Now if I could look as cute as her.....

Well I got called to teach in the primary the ctr6 so the 6 year olds so much fun I am loving it so far, kids say the darnest things. Last week when I was teaching my lesson this kid raises his hand in the middle of the lesson and says teacher I have cavities and then all the other kids start talking about there teeth so funny I tried really hard not to laugh! Being in the primary has made me truly see how God loves all the little children no matter what the circumstances maybe and they are just so sweet and innocent. Yes of course there are those kids that just try you patience and at the end of the day you just want to runaway from ha ha but I find if I just laugh it off to my self  it makes everything so much better. It has helped me to become a better mother, I think we all seem to forget at one point or another that they are children and they dont understand, yes they cant and shouldn't get away with everything but we need to let them be children and teach them in kind loving way that will help them understand. Now I am not perfect at this at all, just last night after the 4th time of Jayla waking up in the middle of the night and me not getting any sleep, I just wanted to scream at her and tell her to go to bed and every little sound she made annoyed the heck out of me. Then I looked at her sweet innocent little face and I said a prayer that I would be blessed with patience, after that I realized she is just a baby she doesn't understand and I need to be an example to her, I need to stay calm  no matter what and I need to watch what I say and how I act and react to things. I love sundays so much its my time to reflect back on my week and see what I can improve on for the next week. How grateful I am for a father in heaven who loves me and has given me everything I need to get back to him. I am at awe when I think about his unconditional love for me, words cant describe hoe much I love him and the beautiful life he has blessed me with!

Cute Girl!

I cant believe how grown up she looks in this picture just like a beautiful little lady! This was the first time I pulled her hair back in pig tails and yes she has that much hair and I am so jealous of her! She will have more hair then I will ever have in a life time! And every mother is bis towards there own child of course but every time I look at her I just cant believe how incredibly gorgeous she is and she is only 7 months old! I wish I looked like her ha ha! I am so so incredibly grateful for her!

We Recently just started feeding this girl food and wow dose she love every minute of it! If we even eat in front of her she throws a fit because she thinks she should be able to eat what we are eating and when we are eating. I have pureed things for her and she like the real stuff ha ha, that is why in this picture she is eating regular peas and she has gotten the chewing part down pretty good, she just needs teeth now !

 FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY!!
 Bath time is her favorite part of the day she love love loves the water!

 She is so happy and content in the bathtub, she kicks her feet and giggles I swear if she could she would play in the tub all day long! She puts her face in the water and tries to drink the water and the coughs cause she cant so funny!

After we stuck our head under the faucet!

Growing Up Faster Than we'd like!

She can sit up all by her self! She looks like such a big girl! It feels like yesterday she was just so fragile and we had to make sure we held her head every time we would hold her and now look at her she is sitting all by her self! It truly amazes me how fast she is growing! She just turned 7 Months this Thursday and in 5 months she will be 1 what the heck!

Jayla and I went on a little outing with our bestest friend Bonnie and her little nephew Nash (such a cute name)! We took them to the Silverton Bass Pro Shop! It was so neat never had really been there but they have a lot of really cool displays in there not to mention the awesome live fish tank! And of course when we got there this is what Jayla decided to do, she couldn't sleep in the car she had to fall asleep after she got out of the car ha ha silly girl you have it backwards.

This was one of the many cool displays they had there! So many fun things for kids to look at!

And if you must know the truth I woke her up ha ha, I just couldn't have her missing all the fun things there was to see, bad mother I know but hey I am the one who had to deal with her and she was GREAT!

She loved it! There was so much to look at! I personally think fish are so weird looking and kind of nasty ha ha. I kept thinking to myself wow heavenly father sure has a sense of humor! And I wanted to know what she was thinking, like what are these weird creatures and what are they doing!                                                                                                                                                                                                            

This picture tells me how smart babies really are and I can tell that she is just amused!
