We have a One Year Old!

Our baby girl is a year old! I can't believe how fast it went!  She has grown up so much and learned so much this past year it makes us so proud! She is such a blessing in our lives!  I can't wait to see what she does next!  Every day she seems to change and do something more fun! We love you baby girl!

ummmmmmm

We just want to announce an upcoming “surprise” to our family.  Just so you all know, this was not planned and we did try to hold off on this for a while to let Bailey be our baby for a bit.  But we now know that this little MIRACLE is supposed to be with our family!  This baby has surprised us already, and we had no idea it was coming so we know the baby is supposed to be in our family and gain a body.  Heavenly Father sure has a sense of humor that’s for sure!  I have been in shock, disbelief, amazed, panicked and happy all at the same time since 6/30/15. 

I went to the doctor on June 30th because of some things I was feeling in my stomach, and we were surprised with so much information.  1) I was pregnant (even with an IUD, which is now missing) 2) I was FAR along (25 weeks now almost 27).  3) We were far enough along to know we are having a BOY!!  4) I am due October 18^th 5) I am 1 in only 2 cases that my doctor has ever seen in his 30 + years of practicing to have an IUD failure 6) I will have the shortest pregnancy in my history….I’ll only have about 13 weeks left (after I found out) LOL J 7) I can now be on that show I didn’t know I was pregnant, ok at least I didn’t make it to the delivery not knowing! J 8) We know we are truly blessed, even though this is a huge shock, we are very lucky. 

Mother's Day!

Mother's Day this year was so special. Yes, I have been a mother to Chelsey for a few years now, but having Bailey made it so much different! I am a mommy to two beautiful girls!  I finally feel like I can truly stand up at church and claim my mother's day gift :)  I got spoiled this year too!  Javier made me breakfast and also got me some perfume and beautiful orange flowers (my favorite color).  He also got a card from him and the girls.  It was so sweet of him. 

Chelsey made me a little plant and a poem from school!  It was so cute to get it from her! And she was so excited to show me!

My mom and mother in law each gave me a special card.  It was a nice day! I love my family!

Standing and bath time!

She is growing and learning so fast! Each day she amazes us!  She has now started pulling herself up and standing!  She'll be walking so soon and watch out world! 

She also loves bath time!  She splishes and splashes!  She gets so excited to be in the water! I can't wait to take her swimming to see how she does in a pool!

Teething=Sickness

Bailey has teethed before, drooled, and the bottom teeth came in.  The top ones have been a completely different story!  One day, she drooled so much I had to undress her!  She had slobber everywhere!  I have never seen so much!  It was kind of funny and cute!  But then, the next day, she woke up sick!  She coughed so much and sneezed! It broke my heart! She has never been sick before, 8 months and we have been lucky!  She has had a few small colds but nothing like this.  I took her to the doctor and she had an upper respiratory infection.  They said there's not much they can do since she's little, so it's suctioning out boogies, humidifiers and pedialight!  I hated doing her nose, she cried so much!  They said it would probably take 14 days to clear up, and it did!  Wow!  I'm so glad she doesn't get sick often!  You could tell in her little eyes she didn't feel good and then she fell asleep in my arms one Saturday morning, so you knew she was sick!  I'm so glad she's finally better!

Tornado by Bailey!

Bailey loves to play in mommy's office.  She loves to get out all the papers, trash, and scatter the DVD's all over.  We call it a tornado hitting once she is done.  It's been fun watching her progress during the time in here...from just laying on her play mat, to rolling over, crawling, playing and now pulling herself up to stand.

Splash Pad!

Queen Creek built a splash pad last year and we tried it a few times...but this year is even more fun! Chelsey loves to go and now Bailey gets to try! The girls got their swimsuits for Easter and they are adorable in them!  We had fun the one time we have went so far and can't wait to go again! 

Playing!

We just love watching these two play! They are such great sisters and love each other so much!  We are still working on sharing a bit, but they do get a long so well!  Bailey loves when her sissy comes home and lights up!  They play for a few hours each evening together and we can sit and watch them play for hours!  Sisters forever!

8 months old!

She's on the move and growing!  We love our Bailey Jan!

Happy Easter 2015!

We had a great Easter (minus these 3 not feeling so good).  The girls enjoyed dyeing Easter Eggs and hunting them and also getting their baskets (with new swimsuits!).  We also enjoyed General Conference, celebrating Javi's 3rd anniversary of joining the church, and enjoying eating dinner with the Hall Clan.  It was a great Easter weekend.

7 months old!

Together Forever, For Time and All Eternity!

We were finally able to get Chelsey sealed to us for time and all eternity!  She loved going to the temple and was so excited to see it.  We were sealed on February 7, 2015 in the Gilbert Arizona Temple.  My cousin Tim Hall was our sealer (he sealed us too) and it was so special.  We love that we can all now be together forever!

Chelsey's Blessing Day

Chelsey was blessed by her Daddy at our home on January 31, 2015.  This is so we could finally get her on church records and then get her sealed to us! It was a special blessing and so glad our families could join us.
