Winter 2013...Happy New Year 2014:-)

We had a fabulous holiday season! We enjoyed time with family...Chesney especially loved hanging out with her cousins.

 She has a special place for Eli:-) She often asks if we can go to Eli's house or if Eli is coming.

We spent Christmas in Richfield...Chesney wasn't very into Christmas. Next year we will leave a note to Santa to not waste time wrapping presents, cus Chesney doesn't want to open them. Once they were open though she did love all her toys:-) 

We had a good time getting a Christmas tree this year...it is nice to not to have a 10 feet of snow to get it in...though I know we will be hurting for it when summer comes. 

We went to Tropic for Christmas Eve & Stanley has some new puppies...she kept saying "he's cute!"

She loves that bucket & uses it as her stool to get to anything she thinks she needs on the counter:-)

Thank goodness Santa stops in Tropic on Christmas Eve...so I didn't fail as a parent:-) 

Yes this is my kiddo sitting on her potty in the back seat of the truck! She is potty trained!! YAY!! She prefers to use her minnie mouse potty, but will use the big potty too:-) She caught on real quick & has been doing so good. Thanks to the ipad:-) We started potty training after thanksgiving just on nights & weekends when we were home...then over the Christmas break when we had some time off we did it full time & we haven't looked back:-)

She likes to be a helper, when she is in the mood:-) She did really good making dinner the other night. 

********************************

She started play group with headstart...she LOVES it! She asks almost daily if she can go to "group." She is talking a lot more & I speak Chesney pretty good:-) 

She sings the ABCs so good!

She loves nursery & likes to go to "chuch...fiends"

She is obsessed wtih Megamind right now.

She calls her panties...minnies:-) 

She is getting so grown up...some days I can't believe she is the same baby I use to have:-/

Hopefully everyone is having a great 2014 so far!!

Fall 2013

 I definitely took the summer off from the blog...We had a good summer and it was nice to spend time with family. She had her first trip to 7 peaks, the zoo, and we even went river rafting in Wyoming. I honestly can't believe it is fall with only one week left in September. Time is flying by!

We are just back to our normal routine. Chesney is still such a cutie & keeps us on our toes:-) 

We took a drive up the mountain this evening to see the changing leaves & got a few cute pics of this sweetheart...

She is a very busy 2 year old...Here are a few fun things that have been going on with her:

She is growing like crazy! I feel like she is getting so tall & losing that baby look.

Her hair is so long & has a cute natural curl...she wakes up looking like a beauty queen...Lucky girl!!

She is learning her ABC's & will point out letters...her favorites to mention are A, B, C, E, O, X, Y.

She still loves to count & is up to 13.

She will tell us what sounds the animal make, but she has to be in the mood.

She still speaks her Chesney language...she is working with the speech therapy ladies twice a month, but I kinda feel like she just does stuff on her own time. They have great suggestions & she like to play with them when they come over. 

She is doing so good in nursery & at the sitters. She pretty much just walks in & tells me bye!

She is in a toddler bed now:-( Sad day! Bode was watching her one day & left his phone on the dresser in her room...he went back to check on her & she had climbed out & back in her crib & was just watching Mickey...the little stinker! 

It is pretty dramatic to put her to bed now:-( She can't turn door knobs, so she is stuck in there & pretty much cries herself to sleep. Hopefully it will get better. 

Her recent toddler escapade was coloring my couch with a blue sharpie {Bode was suppose to be watching her...he was sitting on the couch on his phone, totally oblivious haha} Thank goodness it came out with rubbing alcohol & magic erasers! 

She has a love/hate relationship with the dogs & well they are pretty much afraid of her... unless she has food.

Her current favorite movies are Tangled & The Lorax.

I just had to put his picture up...it is our fall picture from last year...its crazy how much difference a year makes! {Ha she had like no hair last year}

2 Year Pics {Take Two}

Here are Chesney's round two of 2 year old pictures....ha finally! We got these done back in June....my friend Hollie took them & we love how they turned out:-) 

Definitely shows her personality!
