Not sure if any of those readers out there have tried to comment on any of my posts and couldn't.  I think that i may have fixed the problem.  I know that I don't get alot of comments but a few of you have mentioned that it won't let you.  I hope that the problem is fixed and I can keep hearing how cute my kids are from all of you:)  he he he.....

I think that these two are VERY similar!!!



Sitting up so well. She sat in this chair for quite a while before tipping over!!  Good thing Daddy was Sort of watching to catch her:) 

My Sweet Babies!!!

6 Months old

Daisha is officially 6 months old.  Where has the time gone?  I am not sure. 
   Her wonderful stats:
Head:  I never remember her head....but it's catching up with the rest of her body in the 75%
Weight: 17.6  I think it was 70%
Height: 27 1/4 and still in the low 90%

She loves to jabber.  She gets shy, and puts her head down by her shoulder and tries to hide.  She doesn't have any teeth and I can't feel any really coming in any time soon.  By this time her brother had 2 nice big bottom teeth, so I thought that for sure she would be getting at least one:)  She rolls over very nicely.  She sits up like a pro.  She loves her high chair and the high chair toys.  And she loves her bouncer.  She gets going like crazy on that thing.  She loves to watch Kasen run around.  She loves her brother, but doesn't love her brother in her face all the time...she likes her space.  She likes to chew on her toes.  She still LOVES her little thumb.  She is still a pretty good sleeper.  Although, she was sick a while back and kept getting up a few times in the night time, and is still in that little habit, but it's getting better.  She loves food...I am hoping she will be abetter eater than Kasen!!  She loves her MOM:)  All her dark hair is completely GONE....it is replaced by a little bit of light light brown fuzz/whispy hair.  We are thouroughly enjoying her and are loving every minute of it!!!
  Pictures to come soon....I am bad at pics lately...BOO!!!  No fun!!

Visitors

A while back my mom came and stayed with me.  It was the most wonderful 3 weeks ever.  She seriously is the most amazing person that I know.  I have always thought that my mom and I had a good relationship.  I have always loved my mom, and known she was a good person.  But until she came up I never really KNEW ANYTHING.  I got to see a side of my mom that I have never really seen.  She is such a FUN grandma.  She held and rocked Daisha...she sang songs and played hide and seek with Kasen and his friends.  She gave me advice on some issues that I was having that only a MOM could give.  She is so WISE.  She is hands DOWN the most selfless, loving, caring, giving person that I know, and probably will EVER know.  She has devoted her ENTIRE life to raising a family, to serving her husband and especially serving our Savior, Jesus Christ.  She has an unfailingly strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  My favorite thing about my mom is she is not shy, or timid when it comes to telling ANYONE that they aren't doing what is right, and there is NOT a day that goes by that I talk to her and she doesn't bear me her testimony.  I admire that woman more than she will EVER know.  And I know that daughters say this alot, but sincerely and honestly, if I can be the kind of woman that she is today, I KNOW I will make it to Heaven, and I won'thave any regrets.  She is, to put it simply, AMAZING.  She is so beautiful.  I couldn't be more grateful to my Mom.  I LOVE so much that she was here and I am missing her so much now, but I am so grateful to have gotten that opportunity to Really get to know my MOM.  She is my Best Friend.  My example. My ROck....I love you MOMMY!!!

She spoiled Daisha Rotten, that is what she did.  And I Loved EVERY Minute of it. 

While she was here, she went out on the town with her sisters that live in Idaho. Claudia came down and picked her up and met Lillian in Pocatello.  I curled her hair, she got all dressed up for the night out.  It was so fun to see her with her sisters.  I think I lucked out with the BEST one:)  Although, I have to admit, her sisters are pretty great too:)  When she got back, at 10:30 none the less ( I was worried sick:)  Her and Aunt Claudia were laughing their little heads off at some silly thing that they had done.  Priceless!

Oh, don't worry that my sister Bev also came up for a week. I was in HEAVEN....I had a blast.  We went ot the Potatoe museum and played.  We toured the taxidermy shop, and the kiddos were scary scary bears.  Joslyn, Ethan and Kasen played outside, weather permitting, and had so much Fun.  Joslyn Cried when they left and that makes me so happy inside....evil i know, but i miss them so much and am so glad that they came and visited me.

Don't even get me started on this little cutie pie.  Kirsten is a little bossy head, and I love EVERY second I have with her.  She is at the cutest, funnest stage EVER.  Plus she just has this personality that just melts your heart!!  Plus, she loves her Aunt Jana! 

OH my little MISS.  Just cause I love this Little Face more than life itself!  You are my little Angel darling!

Slacker

Well, by going private I didnt' mean to fall off the face of the earth and never write anything anymore.  Truth is I have been busy...um, who hasn't?  Not sure if I remember if I mentioned that I am the assistant softball coach.  Yep, Go Firth Softball:)  We have started our games.  We won our 1st one and lost our 2nd.  I am very encouraged at our team though, we have alot of young girls and our 3 seniors have only lost, so we have alot of learning and growing yet in us.  I am optimistic!!  As a coach though, I am don't know how yet to instill a "winning" attitude.  How do I make them know how to change something that has happened bad, into a postive and make it work for their benefit?  Ah, alas, I have alot of learning and growing also:)  I am not sure if I can cut it being a Mom and a Coach:)  I have always wanted to coach and help girls in athletics just like I had when I was there.  I am learning for everything there is a time and a season, and if the only thing I learn from this Softball season is that, It's not my time to be a coach, then I am okay with that.  I leave my kiddos for 2 hours a day for practice and by the time i get home, I am so missing them.  Wierd?  I know:) 
   OH how I LOVE LOVE it when I come home though.  Daisha is usually being held and rocked by her Daddy and when she see's me, She squeals, and reaches out for me.  She gets so excited she starts shaking:)  Kasen yells, HI MOM.  or MOM, YOU'RE HOME!  Ah, what a great calling:)  I couldn't do it without Tate.  I could go on and on....HE IS Amazing.  I often wonder how I got so lucky.  He is the one and only thing in this world that drives me to be better, to be that Somebody that I want to be.  He is so great with our children, He loves, cares, and plays with them.  He supports me.  Yep, I am lucky:) 
   We are halfway officially "Idahoans".  Tate went and changed our title, registration and license for the blue cloud of doom.  Now we go and change the nissan.  What can I say...I love it here.  I have said it alot of times before and probably will say it a few times more.  Example:  Our garage door didn't have an opener that we could use in our car.  We would just back out of the garage, get outof the car, run in the garage, push the button, RUN fast out of the garage, jump over the laser, and the garage door would then be shut and we would be on our way.  WEll, our friends were leaving one night and noticed that we were doing just that, and said, we needed to get an opener...I said...You're not kidding:)  A few nights ago, they called, said that they had just said opener and would be over in a few minutes to install it and give it to us:)  You have no Idea, how wonderful it is to have a garage door opener :) I LOVE it.  People here....can't say enough about it.  I am slowly learning to be that way myself.  I think that the majority of people just were raised that way, to help and serve!
     Life right now is good.  I have an almost 6 month old baby, and a beautiful growing amazing 3 1/2 year old.  I can't believe KASEN is 3 1/2.  Really?  He is amazing by the way. I seriously don't even know where to begin to describe him.  He is so smart, so quick to pick up on things.  And he is so kind and loving towards his little sister.  He loves to play with her, make her smile, and give her licks of his popsicle or sucker:)  She adores him.   Daisha is growing too fast.  She smiles and giggles.  SHe loves her voice.  She is spoiled and loves her mamma.  Which I don't mind:)  She rolls over really well to one side and is gettin closer to the other side.  She doesn't really sit up too well, she is still wobbley.  She doesn't love Peas...at all:)  she loves sweet potatoes, sqash and bananas, yogurt and surprisingly asaparagus.  I bake asparagus and put soy sauce and balsamic on it and she loves to suck on it.  She acts so interested in all the food I am eating.  I fed her plain ol' fat free greek yogurt the other day and she loved that:)  I hope she isn't as picky as Kasen. 
   Wow...see what happens when I only update every 3 months:)  I write a whole long list:)  That's okay though:) 

It's TIME

So friends and family.... I am going to go Private.....
It's time. I have been going back and forth with this because I know I love to blog stalk people that I have known by clicking on other people's blogs and sometimes I end up places that I just love to read, and I can do that because they don't have private blogs. BUT.....I am too personal on my blog to let just any random person read it I think, My children, my LIFE....so ya, It's time to go Private...so I will be learning how to do this sometime in the near future...Please, Leave your email!!! I feel like I need to apologize to everyone, but it's what needs to be done:)
