Te Amo

Before every single nap and bed time Paislee and I (or dad) rock in her chair and tell her stories.  Jayson and I think we are pretty funny with some of the stories that we tell her too.  Without fail only seconds into the story Paislee says "bed" which also means, "ok stop with the silly stories and let me go to sleep already!" We then lay her in her bed and she says "Te amo Mom" This means "I love you Mom" in spanish. There is nothing sweeter in the world than hearing those words come from her sweet little voice. Whenever Dad or Mom leave's to go anywhere she always says "Te Amo!"  

She talks so much and says the cutest things all of the time.  Things like:

-"Mom, stinky toes!" (after putting her nose to my feet)

-"I'm funny!" or "Paislee silly!" after she does something goofy

-"chocolate milk please"

-"pretty hair mom"

-"are you ok?" which she says if I hurt myself (which i'm clumsy so I do quite often), followed by a hug and kiss

-"I farted, its stinky" or "I tooted!" personal favs of mine

-"Go away!" which she says to Jayson when he is annoying her and I laugh so hard

"Do you want more juice?" when we are having a tea party (10 x a day)

"Kylee, your funny!" she calls me by my name all the time.  I love it, but at the same time I always correct her and say, "No, I'm mom!" She likes to say "Jayson" instead of dad sometimes too.

The list goes on and on and quite frankly everthing that comes out of her mouth makes my heart melt.  I love being able to have conversations with her.  It makes things alot easier when she can communicate what she wants or needs.  I love this stage in her life! I wish she would just stop growing already!

Welcome Home Sissy!

Sissy is finally home from her adventure to St. Thomas! It is so funny because we have always called her Auntie H and while Hillary was gone every time Paislee saw a picture of her she would point and say "SISSY!!!" I have no clue where she came up with the name, but it is official, bye bye Auntie H and hello Sissy! 

Her flight came in at 11:05 pm Saturday night so we let the girls stay up late so we could all be there to welcome her home!

Oh how happy I am to have Hill home.  It felt like forever she was gone and we missed her little toosh big time.  

No I do not do drugs!

My veins FINALLY get a break! A couple weeks ago I received the best phone call ever.  My doctor's office called and said I no longer have to go in EVERY single week for blood work.  HIP HIP HORRAY! I can't even count how many times these veins have been poked since my first doctors appointment after finding out I was preggo.  

My uncle told me if I get pulled over by a cop to have the cop call him if he has questions about me being a drug user. I guess since my veins have been poked so much I could easily be mistaken as a druggy. haha My veins were getting so bruised that it was starting to hurt pretty bad to get the blood work done so I'm glad to have a 2 week break in between pokes.

What a blessing it is to finally have made it to the every other week stage.  Before you know it it will be once a month!(we are hoping in 2 months I will be there) I am so grateful I have stayed at a zero and have been feeling so much better. I really feel so blessed and lucky in my life and couldn't be happier.

3 years and counting...

Happy Anniversary to us! Jayson and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this past weekend.  Yesterday was the official day, but we celebrated it on Friday.  Jayson plans our anniversary activity every odd year and I plan every even (I hate odd numbers for some odd reason..) Jayson really out did himself this year on the planning.  It was seriously so much fun!

He managed to keep everything an entire secret from me for 2 weeks (Jayson isn't too good at keeping secrets from me) I literally had no idea where we were going, what we were doing and who would be watching Paislee while we celebrated.  We started the evening off by dropping Paislee off at my mom's house (which surprised me because I had talked to my mom numerous times about how I had no idea what we were doing for our anniversary and she never spilled the beans!)

Next we were off to our next destination, Park City! Jayson and I never go on dates up there, mostly because it is a pretty far drive and we don't like having to make people watch Paislee 2 hours longer because of the drive.  I love the feeling of Park City, the buildings and all the earthy people up there so I was thrilled to find out we would be having our date there!

We drove through main street looking at all the cute shops, drove by this fabulous barn that I wouldn't mind having one day....and then stopped and ate at the yummy Squatters! We got an appetizer (which we never do because we are cheap like that) and completely stuffed ourselves to the brim.

After we ate Jayson took me to this lovely hotel where we would be spending the night! I was SO surprised.  That day I had been trying to snoop around and see if any of my stuff was missing to see if he had packed any of my stuff for a gettaway, but right before we left our house I noticed my toothbrush was still there.  I was bummed because I was secretly hoping we would be spending the night somewhere fun.  He pulled out a bag out of the trunk he had packed very quickly while I was in the car waiting in the drive way.  He told me he forgot my present in the house so to stay in the car and close my eyes so I wouldn't see him come out with it.  Little did I know he was packing a bag full of all the essentials for a one night gettaway.  I was SO surprised!

Can you see how giddy I am to sleep in a king size bed?

Well the suprises weren't over. He had scheduled massages for the both of us where they come to your room with all the equipment.  I had THE best massage of my life.  It was this cute Irish lady who was older and had alot of experience.  She put Massage Envy to shame.  It was so nice and relaxing.  After our massages we went and relaxed in the hot tubs which was so nice. 

He also surprised me with my wedding ring! I will not go into detail about this, but let's just say I hadn't worn my ring for almost a whole year and he surprised me that night with it all polished and cleaned and ready to be worn on my finger again! haha it is a long story, but I am so happy to finally have my wedding ring back!

At 10:00 we decided to go for a treat run (this is late for me, going for a treat run at 10:00 to me now feels like a treat run in highschool when we would go at 1 in the morning. haha) then came back to the hotel where we drank some of this yummy goodness...

And both took turns giving silly toasts to one another that made us laugh at ourselves. We think we are pretty funny, see below pictures if you don't believe me...

The following morning we slept in (thank you so much mom for watching Paislee all night so I could sleep in past 8:00) ate some breakfast then hung out by the pool where the sunshine felt so good!

We ended the afternoon with some shopping at the outlet's which was so fun.  I am not a shopper and have a really hard time buying things for myself, but when Jayson comes along he some how convinces me to buy stuff for myself.  We left for home with a new swimming suit for everyone in our little family and a couple extra goodies for Paislee of course (ok, and maybe some new shirts too).

Nothing beats getting to spend some good quality time with my wonderful husband.  It is hard to believe we have been Mr. & Mrs. for 3 years now.  I'm grateful I married a man who still makes me feel like a little college girl in love.  Thank you so much Jayson for putting so much thought and effort into our 3 year celebration.  I love your bum!

Newest addition to our family!

We would like to extend a warm and welcoming hand to the newest addition to the Adam family.  Everyone meet Ruby......

We have been wanting an SUV for a very long time and I am so happy to have Ruby apart of our family now.  Paislee and I love cruzing around in her and especially love her on those yucky weather days.  What a great addition to our family! We will forever miss our dear Chevy......

You treated us well for 3 years and you were the first real sacrifice Jayson made in our relationship (2 months into dating he traded his SUV in for this car to save on gas since he was driving from Slaterville to SLC and Farmington every day to see me :) Many crazy dance parties happened with you Chevy, fun road trips and lots of great memories.  You will be missed! BUT, Ruby I have never been so excited about a car until I met you, welcome to the fam!

Great memory..

Nothing beats waking up in a panic, Mother's Day morning to the sound of fire alarms going off in my house.  My sweet husband was quietly in the kitchen with Paislee making me breakfast in bed, trying to be so so sneaky.  The only catch is I didn't end up eating it in bed because I ran in a huge panic out of our room, half asleep might I add, to see why the fire alarm was going off.

I ran into the kitchen where Jayson had quickly tried to remove the fire alarm off the ceiling before I woke up and a kitchen full of smoke.  Haha oh how I love this man!  Breakfast is his specialty around this house, but of course on this very morning he burnt the bacon resulting in large amounts of smoke. 

Although I didn't get the "breakfast in bed" mothers day surprise, I wouldn't trade that for the awesome memory I will always have from Mother's Day 2011!

I love being a Mom

There is nothing more rewarding than teaching a child and watching them grow and learn from your example every day

I am so thankful I get to be a stay at home Mom.  I never miss a single thing in Paislee's life and we spend so much time together it is impossible for us not to be best friends. 

Being a Mom has taught me more than anything else in my life.  The love a mother has for her child or children is amazing and I am grateful I get to experience that love every day.

Nothing beats looking at a child and seeing yourself in their mannerisms, expressions and personality.  I love seeing the little parts of me and the little parts of Jayson reflected through Pais.  There is nothing better.

I will forever be thankful for the special gift my heavenly father has blessed me with on this earth, and that is the gift of motherhood.  What a huge calling in life it is and alot of responsibiliy hangs over your shoulders, but the blessings that come from being a Mom are far greater than anything else you will ever experience.

I am so grateful for my Mom and the amazing woman that she is.  She truly is my very best friend and I hope to one day share the same relationship with Paislee that I share with my own Mom.  Thanks Mom for all that you do for me and my family.  I love you so so much!

And to the best Mother-in-law on the planet, you are amazing and I am so thankful I get to have a woman like you in my life.  Thanks for allowing me to be apart of your amazing family and literally being the PERFECT mother-in-law a girl could ask for. 

Country Bone

Jayson and I both have a country bone.  By country bone I mean we both have a little part inside of us that dreams of being country folk.. Jayson wishes he were a cowboy and I sometimes wish I had a southern girl accent and wore cowgirl boots every day... Our dream is to settle down with our family one day in a beautiful house with tons of land where we can have horses, cows, chickens, goats and all that fun stuff.

A few Sunday's back we had a dance party in our kitchen.  This is a very common occurence in our household, we LOVE dance parties.  This particular Sunday we had our own little country dance off to the one and only Garth Brooks and Chris LeDeux.  Following our dance party I told Jayson that not only do I want to settle down in a nice home with lots of land one day, but that I want to do it soon!  I want my children to be raised learning how to work and enjoy the outdoors like Jayson and I do.  I want them to grow up with a little bit of country in em..... I will settle for a small house with a little bit of land with a horse or two for now...BUT eventually I would love the whole shabang!

Paislee already shows signs of how she is a little cowgirl.  From being an amazing little girl on all of our camping trips, to loving the outdoors more than anything in the world and not being scared to get a little bit dirty. I see some true potential here.... Here she is last summer...

Not even the slightest bit scared to get up all in the goats grill....

Okay, cutest thing ever am I right or am I right?

Well a few hours after our country dance off we headed to my parents.  For those of you who don't know at my parents house they have llamas and goats.  We used to have chickens but they ate our neighbor's garden so we had to get rid of them :( They have a cute little barn and a pasture.  The PERFECT set-up in my eyes. Nice neighborhood and land where they can keep the good ol country lifestyle around.  It was finally a nice enough day that we let the goats out to run around and play while we were all there.  Paislee was ALL over that.  Wanting to ride them, kiss them and once again, get up all in their grills.  She was born to be a country girl, I JUST KNOW IT!

Jayson would put her on the goats back and the goats would run like crazy.  I expected my sensitive child to start to cry and get scared.  Quite the contrary.....

She laughed hysterically and didn't want to get off!

This little girl LOVES every second of being able to touch and play with the pets.  I told Jayson, we NEED to do something soon so she can grow up experiencing this not only at Papa's house, but at her own house too!

Action shot! haha I love her face in this one

Who knows, maybe in a couple of years you'll see this chick suited up, helmet and all at the Davis County Rodeo... Mutton Bustin!!

  We figure if she laughs and squeals as much as she does riding on a goat, she will LOVE what a sheep has to offer...haha
