Disneyland February 2015

This was our last trip with our season passes to Disneyland. :( The girls LOVED it! Ariel ride, Chip n' Dale ride, Monsters, Meeting all the princesses, and Frozen Land. Life couldn't get any better. We went in the beginning of February and it was perfect. The waits weren't bad and it was perfect weather. We went Mike and Bione and their family and they had a blast too. They were in heaven the whole time and loved to see all the princesses. Emma loved the Ariel ride and Chip n' Dale ride. Bailey loved Ariel as well and if you asked her she would say yo-ho (pirates) which she cried the whole time riding but that was ALL she could talk about on the way home. Silly girl. We love Disneyland and hopefully we can go back soon ish. The baby is due in June so maybe next year or the end of this year. ;)

October-January

Halloween,Thanksgiving,Christmas,Birthdays,Weddings,and Baby sister is what we have been up to the last four months. We had our annual Halloween party at our house. Thanksgiving at Rondee's house this year. Steve's 31st birthday. Emma's birthday and her last dance recital was in December. She LOVES dance but when she started preschool in December we had to give it up. Bailey still goes and loves it. Matt and Rachel got married and we put on the luncheon for them. They missed it but it turned out cute! ;)We had Grandma and Grandpa Anderson over for Christmas this year which was really fun to have them here. WE also found out that we are going to have another little Baby GIRL!!! We are so excited to have another little girl around this house. Steve is excited. He loves girls and is such an awesome daddy. I don't know what we would do without him. The girls have their daddy wrapped around their fingers. ;) We will most likely name her Lucy...still working on the middle name but we are so excited. Bailey had her 2nd birthday and we also went to cousin Avery's birthday party. It has been very busy around here but we are so happy we get to do it together as a family. Next post will be about our trip to Disneyland!!!

Happy Birthday to Emma and Bailey!

Emma is 3!!!!! I can't believe my little girl is three. Emma is such a joy in our home. She is loving, patient with her sister, caring, smart little girl. She graduated from Kids on the Move. :( Which we are super sad about but she LOVES her new preschool. She goes three days a week. Tuesday-Thursday and gets speech and OT. She loves her teachers and friends. It's only been a month since she started but I can tell she is learning a lot. She trying to speak more and wants to play with Bailey more and more. She is such a social girl and loves to watch/play with others. I just had a parent teacher conference with Mrs. Kerry Mecham her teacher and she said she is doing great. I'm so proud of her and all that she has accomplished and yet to accomplish. I know she will do great things. Emma loves movies, playing with Bay, reading her princess books, play-doh, magic clips and hanging out with her mom and dad. She is talking more and more and loves babies. She is going to be a great Big sister again. Bailey is 2!!!! My baby is two. Bay is my sassy, funny, loving, talk active little girl. I know Heavenly Father wanted her here at this time to help her bigger sister excel in life. She is great sister and friend to Emma. We love our Bay Bay. Bailey is still in Dance and loves it. She loves to see Ella there to. Whenever she see's the color black she says Ella? I have to tell her that is the color black and Ella does have black skin but that is NOT Ella. Silly girl. ;) Bailey loves her mommy and still has to be by her all the time. She loves playing with Emma, watching movies, playing on the ipad (like her sister) and loves to "go home" (she likes to go bye bye in the car). We love Bailey so much and can't believe she is 2. Good thing baby sister is coming in June.

Almost 3 and 22 months

Emma will be 3 in like 15 days!!! :/ I can't believe it! She is transitioning into the school district right now. She will have her IEP the first week in Demcember. She qualifies for the preschool. YAY! So hopefully seeing other children talk more she will too! She will get Speech and OT and APE is on Wednesday so she will get to go to that too. She will go 3 days a week. It looks like Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday stinks because that is her dance day and she LOVES it! So we will see what time they start on Tuesdays. I'm hoping she can do both. This is going to be a big chapter in her life and I sure hope she likes it. :) She qualifies for the bus but Steve can't let her 3 year old go on a bus yet by herself. I think she would LOVE it, but it also is kind of scary to think your little girl riding a BIG bus by herself. Emma is loving dance, her sister, the i-pad, and princesses. She's still our happy, social, loving, hugging little girl. Bailey is talking up a storm. She is starting to put two words together and loves play with her sister. I don't know what she is going to do when Emma goes to preschool. Maybe we can actually work on her name. She still says Emma is her name. Silly girl. :) Bailey loves to eat! She wants to eat and drink all day long if I would let her. She is growing up so fast. It's a good thing we have another one on the way. ;) She loves to play with her sister, loves to be held, loves to sing, read books, and watch Disney Junior. I can't believe she will be 2 in January! We love having Bailey in our family. She is so much fun with her looks she gives and her cuddles. We love you Bay!

May-September

A lot has happened in 5 months. The biggest news is I'M DONE WITH WORK!!! Steve is teaching now at UVU so it was time for me to stay at home with the girls. It's been such a blessing. I love being home with them, I just now need to come up with a routine with them now. We are still busy with Dance, Music class and KOTM appointments. We love it though. We get to spend more time with family now that Steve parents are home from their mission. The girls love having both sets around. Steve is almost done with his Masters degree and will graduate in March. We are going to Disneyland next week with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. I don't know who is more excited me or the girls. ;) We went to Vegas in May for my cousin Megan's wedding. We have been enjoying our Thanksgiving Point passes to the farm, dinosaur and children's museum. It's been a great 5 months spending time together and with family. More adventures to come!

2 1/2 and 21 months

It's been a long time...Ready, set, GO! Emma is almost 3!!!! She will be three in like 2 months. :( I'm so sad. She leaves Kids on the Move and moves on to new adventures with the school district. Wish us luck. I am so thankful I've been involved with IEP's. Emma is still working with Shauntell and April right now. She loves to play with them. Emma is doing awesome. Her language is coming more and more and starting to put two words together more and more. Now that Bailey is talking I'm hoping that will help Emma with her language. She loves the i-pad and I'm trying to use that to potty train her. She did awesome the first day but the next day I gave up. She is just not letting me know she has to go potty. When we try again in another month. She loves to play around with her sister, swing, slide, run, and watch Disney Junior. We got a play set from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson for Christmas/Birthdays. The girls love it. Emma has all her teeth now but still drools. We are working on having her swallow it but I think it will be a long process. She is back in dance and loves it. She is taking dance with Ella, Maggie and her other friends Briley and Amalia. She loves the tumbling after. It makes a long day for me but its totally worth it. Emma can say Thank you Mom. Bailey come her. Up please. Hold you (hold me). She is getting bigger and bigger and I want her to stop growing! She loves Tangled, Brave, and Ariel right now. We are going to Disneyland in 7 days and I'm so excited to see her excitement again. She loves her family and her Bay! She is still a loving girl and loves to laugh. I'm so thankful I have her in my life. Bailey is in NURSERY!!!! Best day ever. She is now having a hard time now that her nursery teacher left our ward but she will go in with Emma. Hopefully next year she will like it cause Emma will be a Sunbeam next year. Bailey loves her sister Emma. She loves her so much that if you ask her her name she says Emma. :) Bay came home from Nursery one day with a necklace around her neck that said Emma. I asked Steve if she was wearing Emma necklace and he said no its Baileys. I then started to laugh and asked Bailey what her name is and she said Emma. So I'm sure the nursery worker asked her her name and she said Emma. I have been working on her name is Bailey but she still says Emma. :/ Hopefully she can say her name by the end of the year. Bailey is now in dance too and LOVES it! She was loves to help teacher Hillary push the girls over when they are trying to do their somersaults. She loves to do whatever sister is doing. She gives the BEST looks. She can give you a great stink eye or the best smile ever. She loves Mickey Mouse, Ariel, Bubble Guppies, reading, singing, and being by mommy at all times! I can't even go to the bathroom without her following me. She is working on growing her hair. ;) She is a sweet, loving little stinker.

30 months and 17 months

Emma did such a great job at her dance recital. She came out with her friends and was like what is this place and why is it dark and didn't really dance at the beginning but by the end of the song and her second song she did AWESOME! She loved it! She wanted to go back on the stage when it was all over. We are so proud of her and she was the cutest dancer out there! Her speech is coming along more and more. We are now trying to put to words together at the same time. When I think back at the day they told us about Emma I didn't think how AWESOME she would be. I mean she has her struggles with drooling still and her words are not quite there but she has been betting all the odds and we love her more and more everyday! She still is into Bubble Guppies and loves to watch Disney movies. Lately it has been Brave. She loves to wrestle with her sister and play dress ups with Maggie. She is wearing size 3T clothes and is still our skinny minnie. She loves to be outside and is always on the go. We are so proud of Emma and everything she has accomplished this far in life. She is on to move mountains. Bailey has been getting new teeth and boy has she been moody! :) Let me tell you Steve is in for a treat with these two girlies. :) Bailey loves play with her sister and follows her around. She is FINALLY climbing up and DOWN the stairs. Although she is still pretty lazy and she will whine at the bottom of the stairs until someone helps her climb up. (walking up) She loves to watch Bubble Guppies too and asks for Bubble when she wants to watch it. She is talking more and more and hopefully that will help Emma with her speech to. Bailey loves to dance and I think we will put her in dance when she turns two. She loved watching Big sister on stage and wanted to go up there with her. She loves to be outside to and to explore with her sister. She is saying Hi, Bye, Emma, Elmo, Mom, Dad, Grandpa for both Grandma and Grandpa. She says TACO for thank you, more and please. She is such a fun, loving, little girl. We are so happy she is here with us and we can't believe she will be 18 months next month! Nursery bound! Steve is a little excited about that. :)
