Attempt at crawling...

This is Bailey's newest thing. She is really enjoying going where she wants to (for the most part).

Monthly Pictures...

Here are the monthly pictures of the kids. They really haven't changed too much in the last month, physically. Bailey has been rolling everywhere and having a lot of fun with all of Peyton's toys that she couldn't get too before. Peyton has been very kind and allowed her to play with a lot of them, if he doesn't want her slime them he simply trades her for another toy.

What a great brother!

Peyton- 2 years 4 months

Bailey- 9 months

Ouchie...

Peyton is so silly, he is always walking around the house on his toes but his toes are curled under so he is really walking around on his knuckles! I tried to stand on mine (while holding onto the counter) and I couldn't even put my full weight on them! It's so funny because whenever Dan is sitting he curls his toes under and presses his knuckles on the ground but he never has walked around the house like that! The other day when Peyton was walking around on his knuckles I asked him what he was doing and he said "this is what a big ole' man does Mom". Well okay then!

Best buddies...

I just can't get over how cute Peyton and Bailey are together. Peyton adores her and is always so excited when she wakes up in the morning and from her naps. He is always so willing to help with her and has never acted jealous of her as most older siblings usually do. She is so amused by him and just can't get enough of him. Just a few shots of the little sweeties.

Tag about My Man...

It's weird to say that this is actually my first time responding to a tag :( Maybe I feel obligated because it's getting close to lovey day and I need to be a more loving wife. I admit, I am just a little impatient, but I do try my best.

What is his name? Daniel Ephraim Hoover

How long have you been married? 6 years 7 months

Who long did you date? Dated 7 months engaged for 4

How old is he? 28

Who eats more sweets? I probably eat more candy, he definately eats more salty snacks. I have to hide anything I don't want devoured. He is working on proportion (he'll eat a whole bag of doritos in one sitting without knowing what happened!) You can do it dear!

Who said I love you first? Him, I was so nervous, he was so cute, he said "I think I'm falling in love with you ( I think that's a good way to say it, not so awkward if you get rejected).

Who is taller? Dan, he's a big man!

Who can sing better? I should be the better singer (I've had more experience) but I really think he is better.

Who is smarter? Depends on the topic. He knows oodles of useless sports info. I'm smarter about everything else ;)

Who does the laundry? Me, but he carries it down down down all the stairs. Actually, last Saturday when I worked, he did all the laundry!! What a man!

Who pays the bills? We do it together, but I make him be in charge.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me if you're facing the bed, him if you're laying on it.

Who mows the lawn? Mostly me, It bothers my sister Kim and her husband, but I really like doing it, I feel proud!

Who cooks dinner? Always me. Except for last Saturday when I worked, I think he wanted something from me after being Mr. Mom that day ;)

Who drives? We both like too but he drives mostly.

Who is more stubborn? I think it's a tie, I am really trying to win though!

Who kissed who first? That was a very awkward moment, I'd rather not talk about it :(

Who asked who out first? I asked him to come up to USU for dinner and games afterward.

Who proposed? He did. He really had me tricked. The weekend before, he had told me (I guess I kept pressing the issue) that he was worried that if we got married we might cheat on eachother ?????? After that I thought he must have serious trust issues! Then when he proposed I felt like I needed to talk him out of it and tell him it was okay if he really wasn't ready to be married. It was very unexpected! He was suprised that I didn't cry but I was very confused!

Who has more siblings? I do, but not by many.

Who wears the pants? I wear pants and I beg him too, he only wears shorts (basketball shorts), except too work. He even wore shorts (khakis) to his work Christmas party (I was sorta embarrassed)!

Let's hear about all your hubbies. All of you!

Tale of Two Brains

I thought this was so true! And so so funny!

Don't try this at home!

Bailey has a trick she has been doing lately. Anytime her socks are off she starts clapping her feet together. I have tried and tried to get her to clap her hands but she will have nothing to do with it. She just wants to clap her feet all day! Crazy girl, she is just so dang flexible!

New Job...

I am excited to say I started a new job this last Monday. I am going to be working part time at Primary Children's Medical Center in SLC. I'll be working on the Infant Medical Surgical Unit as a Patient Care Technician (CNA). I am so excited for this opportunity and wouldn't have it if not for Dan's sister Jenny. So, thanks so much Jenny for putting in a good word and helping me get this position! I hope it better prepares me for the nursing program at Weber State.
