Good Sleepers!

So I love bragging that my girls are good sleepers... they are GREAT sleepers! Arya went to bed last night at 9:30 and woke up at 7 am this morning! I LOVE it! I went to go get her out of bed and she was completely under her blankets... just like Wrynly always is... just like their daddy.  Wrynly went to bed at 7 and woke up at 8.  Now, I just need to get my butt motivated to go to bed early so I'm not tired to wake up early in the mornings.

Father's Day Weekend

Father's Day weekend was so much fun! On Saturday we had a pic-nic out in the back yard. (Sorry, the picture will not turn the right way).  It was so nice to sit in the shade of the trees and eat while the girls played... well Arya just layed there and stared at the trees.  We surprised Jarom with a Father's Day gift:  an apron painted by Wrynly and me... with the Superman emblem on it (go figure)! We also gave him a card picked out by Wrynly (with Lightning McQueen from "Cars" on it).  He was very surprised. Wrynly was so excited to give it to him, she almost spilled the beans... she kept saying "paint Superman, surprise!"



This cute little nugget, Arya, loves sleeping on her tummy. She tucks her legs up under her, just like her daddy did when he was little. It earned him the name "Toad" from his grandma, Norma Hyde!  I thought it was cute, like father like daughter.

Wrynly held still for me to braid her hair.

My new shoes I bought for daily walks with my mother.  Her hips have been hurting lately so we haven't gone. I'll have to end up going by myself.

Father's day tradition is to go to the Ogden Golf and Country Club.  The men get to go golfing while the women and kids swim. Wrynly had so much fun, you couldn't get her out of the water for anything!  She loved to play in the little pool (about the size of a hot tub but only 2 feet deep) with the other little kids.  After a while, she decided she could go into the big pool.  She kept jumping off the ledge into grandma Shell's arms, then climbing up the ladder to do it all over again. She wore Machel out, then moved onto me!   Good thing Arya slept the whole time so that Autumn or Machel could watch her while I played with Wrynly. 

She is getting so tan! She has a tan face, neck and arms, compared to her little belly. It's good to know that my daughter loves playing outside.

Jewels holding Arya at the Father's Day dinner at the Woolsey home.  Arya was so cute that Jewels actually said that "Arya makes me want to have babies!"  UH YEAH! I'm glad that she's getting used to the idea of kids. She'll be such a good mom!

Monday, Jarom had the day off, so he got Wrynly ready. He even did her hair!

Then he decided that she needed a new bike, so we went to two bike shops in Ogden until we found the perfect one. It's a bike with no pedals so that she can learn balance without the training wheels. She gets on and scoots around the neighborhood. She's getting good at it... though her favorite feature is the little bell she can ring!

Go Wrynly!

Fun stuff!

 My days are always filled with funny things.  From Wrynly thinking she can fit into Arya'a car seat  so she can eat her snacks to Wrynly trying to hold Arya by herself, only to drop her on her head (mind you it's only from 2 inches off the ground, but still... my poor baby will grow up to be tough!)

Arya has bee awake a lot more lately, more interactive and so nice. I think her belly has figured things out because she's not my angry, grunting child anymore. She just lays on the floor and wiggles, looks at the lights, all around the house, goo's and gaw's and is all around a sweet heart! I'm excited to see her discover her hands and check them out... that was so cute when Wrynly did, she was in awe.

I've been working out and making "clean" meals for my family to eat. Wrynly will eat them sometimes so we are working on getting her to eat healthier too.  I've noticed a big difference in her temperament when she doesn't have snacks, cookies, hot dogs & mac'n cheese all day.  I'm liking the clean eating for my family!!  When I cook, I have to wear Arya in the sling so Wrynly won't try to pick her up or give her so many kisses that she smothers her without my supervision.  Also, Arya love it so much, she zonks out as soon as I get her comfy in there.  Wrynly loves to be my helper, so she helps me measure out the food and put it on the pans, etc. She's so good at being a helper!

On Thursday, 14th, we went to visit my Grandma & Grandpa Carson, LouAnn & Gary.  They've been in Montana this past month and hadn't met Arya yet, so I was so excited when Grandma called to tell me they were in town.  My cousin Krystle and her two girls, Taylee & Kailana, were there as well. Wrynly played with the girls.. she loves KIDS! Arya LOVES Grandma LouAnn (her great-grandma!) She was the most HAPPY & SMILEY little girl I have seen, all because of grandma!!  So darling to see her connect with family.

Body building comp

Saturday, Jarom and I went to our first Body Building Competition. It was so awesome to see all the different body types and posing.  The guest poser, Steve Kuclo, had muscles bigger than my head! He was ridiculously large and I told Jarom he can NEVER get that big!

We went to this specific one, because my friend, Farrah, was competing in the Bikini Championships. This was her first ever show and she placed 5th! She is my inspiration!  Pic of her in RED

June already

I can't believe it's JUNE already! My sweet little Arya will be one month old tomorrow. We have been having so much fun with her, even when she is a grunting, snorting, ornery pants when she is awake!  Her little belly is still trying to figure out how to work. She's getting better, though, and awake more often. It's fun to see her look around at things, she especially loves to look at lights.  We take her outside and sit under the trees. She loves it, just like her big sister did when she was little!  She loves to sit up or lay on her belly while you pat her back.  She loves to be rocked to sleep, and will only go to sleep if you rock her.  We can't just put her in bed and let her fall asleep like we did with Wrynly.  Jarom can get her asleep so fast, I'm jealous!  Arya sure loves her daddy!

Wrynly has been the biggest helper (and the biggest pest) when it comes to her sister. She just loves to give her so much attention that she doesn't realize she has to be soft, nice, and careful with Arya. She is pretty funny, though. The other day I was nursing Arya with Wrynly in the room and she says to me, while pointing at my boob "baby's milk... Ary drink... I try it?" and stood there with her mouth open. Ha ha ha... um, no... it made me giggle. I gently told her no and that it's only for baby Arya. She seemed to get it since I haven't been asked again!
On Friday I took a road trip with the girls down to Provo to visit my friend Amber and her 4 kids. She just had a baby girl a few weeks ago and I had yet to meet her.  Wrynly loved playing with Amber's kids, Michael, Madison & Joe.  Arya played with Katelyn... well, more like napped, since they were asleep most of the time.  It was fun to catch up and see them all getting along and having fun. I wish I had more friends living closer to me that have kids Wrynly could play with... there aren't many kids in the neighborhood we live in.

Jarom parked his truck on the grass and had Wrynly help him wash it today.  She had so much fun playing in the bucket of soapy water, not really helping Jarom out at all.
