Slip n' Slide season :)

The other day we went to Wal-mart in Provo and found a CARS slip n' slide for $5.00!!! I thought that that was THE ultimate deal. So of course the spender I am had to get it :)

McGuire wasn't too sure about it and still doesn't know how to really work it.. But we still get our moneys worth :)

This is McGuire reaction to taking a picture with Grandma Daggs... Lol lovely huh... 

I think its pretty cute

This is McGuire with his wonderful daddy :) they are so much like each other and they are each others best friends! :)

We are such a lucky family to have each other!

Summer is here!

Friday was the last day of school and boy was it an emotional day fro me.. I never thought that I could love a job so much in my life! The kids all gave me my lst hugs of the school year as the skipped and leaped away to their fun little summer they are going to have...

Til next year our family is going to have a lot of stuff to do! My Goals are to learn how to drive a motorcycle. Get ready for college in the fall and work my tail off so we can afford the best bike for McGuire. Also a major goal for me is to lose the weight that I have gained in the last year and a half. So my wight loss goal is at least 20 pounds, if not more! I will be blogging on my progress throughout the summer :)

 Taylor is working his tail off for 18 hours days. 6 days a week. I'm so proud of him for achieving his goals and loving the jobs that he has.

McGuire's goals this summer is to ride the motorcycle with dad as much as possible. Learn to go potty like a big boy so he can earn his fish and fish tank :)

Here's a sneak preview!

Blowing bubbles.. we literally do it all day long!

Motorcycle rides with dad!

McGuire's own motorcycle, he likes to pretend that he is just like dad.

This is McGuire's "I'm going to do something your not going to like in just a minute" face :)

Nature way of saying.....

Finally the weather is turning out to be great warm sunny days... FINALLY! But the only downfall to that is the bugs that come out at night. Last year we had a june bug come in and try and attack our family lol, Taylor was a little bit of a girl about it. Now we have the June bugs coming after us every night! We'll be watching tv or just try to sleep and you'll hear these multiple thud, thud, thud... They are just tiny thud, they are pretty loud. It's like they know that we don't like them so they want to "bug us" even more. Lol get it!


For an update on our family...

McGuire is growing up so fast, he hass almost reached the 3 ft line, and weighs 27lbs. He tells us what we need to do. He'll grab his little steel suitcase and tell me that he'll be right back as he heads for the front door. He has the cutest little personality and it just keeps getting bigger!

Taylor is working 15 hour days at ups and at midway tire pros. It's a lot work but he enjoys stays so busy. And ups is the ultimate job to have once to get to where you want to get. He's thinking about going back to school to get his masters in something special.. Lol he's not too sure yet.

I'm just finishing up my last week of elementary school then I'm off to subway for the summer. It's going to be a blast fromm the past from high school but it's a job. I just finished applying at uvu for this fall night school so I can get my teaching degree and get my dream job going. While doing so I hopefully will be back at the elementary school doing what I love most, helping kids! This summer I plan on helping some of my students to better prepare them for 2nd grade.



That's about it for our lives... Til then.. Ta ta!

Modeling Career

McGuire has made a new habit, he loves to put on Mommy's high heels and model them off....
Evidence...

Isn't it the cutest ever! McGuire is growing so fast its not even funny! We read books together, sing the alphabet together and write our letters. 

He loves to color and loves to scream! 

Pudding is the ultimate treat and throwing things in the neighbors driveway puddle is a good pass time. 

love you monkey man! Way to be the ultimate toddler and being my pride and joy of life.

3rd Anniversary

On April 24th it will be Taylor and my 3rd Anniversary! Its really crazy to see how much we have gone through in the last 3 years! Here's a time line, Got married, Had a baby, Got divorced, got back together, went back and forth to different houses... and now here we are with a 2 year old little boy in a little comfy little apartment happy as ever! Unfortunately Our anni is on Easter, so no renewal of a marriage license... but a paper doesn't have to prove that were married right?!? We've got pictures to prove we're married ;) I love you Taylor so much!

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!!!

Love you always and forever!

Happy Easter!

>   All I need to knowI learned from the Easter Bunny!

•  Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

•  Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

• There's no such thing as too much candy.

• All work and no play can make you a basket case.

• A cute tail attracts a lot of attention.

• Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

• Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

• Some body parts should be floppy.

• Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans.

• Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.

• The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.  
•  To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.  
•  The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.  
•  May the joy of the season fill your heart. 

            Hope you all have a HAPPY EASTER

             

Pictures!

So I finally got the money together and was abel to get my pics from August of 2009 of me and McGuire. They are so darn cute, a local photographer, Misty Kelly, did sucha great job and I can't wait to show you! Remember this was on summer of 2009 so it may be a little weird with me with long hair and McGuire being chunky monkey... but enjoy!!!

Dear So and So...

I haven't done this in a long time, and I now have a bit to vent about :)

Dear toddler who bites other toddlers,

I love babies all different sizes... but I am not happy with this habit that has been created. The one day you how up for me to watch at work is the one day I am alone with 30 kids. When I keep my eye on you, you are fine. But the once i get one child who needs attention, you bite a child on the cheek. I love you to bits and pieces, but PLEASE stop doing the biting. It hurts... ALOT!

Sincerely,

Friendly and Tired Day care lady




Dear Potty,

I wish you would be more appealing to McGuire. Instead you tempt him ti play in the water and flush all the time! It is just not fair that you are more fun to play with then to do business with! Please, Please let McGuire do his business in you.

Sincerely,

Potty training mommy

Winter Blues

If any of you know how I acted in the winter, its definitely highs and lows. I love it when it snows, but when the snows stops I want it to be warm! Mother nature is loving the mood swings from me I guess cuz she keeps playing mind games with me.

I just thought that I would share some good news and hopefully it won't jinx it! Taylor got a call from UPS which means that he has a job interview and will hopefully be working with them as a package person in the mornings. If this really does happen, we will most likely be moving up to Utah County. That way I can go to beauty school and not have to commute either.  Lehi or American Fork will be the wonderful place we will settle, if there are any places you know of, let me know, cuz I am looking! So keep those fingers crossed and keep saying your prayers, cuz I will be!

Also more good knews!!!! McGuire has finally let go of the stinking BINKI!!!! YAY he's finally a big boy, next step is potty training. If any of you have any great suggestions on how to train a little one to pee safely into a toilet please let me know. So far we're pretending to pee in the potty, but when its the real deal he chickens out. Its ok I guess, just so frustrating lol.

ALSO!

Here are more pictures from the past holidays I had to get from my mother in law.. so enjoy!

Aspen, our puppy (3 years old)

He helped me with me birthday candles, it tradition!

Halloween 2010

He's stealing candy from Papa and na-ma

Taylor doesn't like to smile fro pics, can you tell?!?

Til next time! Thanks for viewing!

Update

Here's an update from when I last left off. Still going to go to school, eventually. Just got to find the correct school to go to. And CORRECTION: I am going to beauty school, then when I am financially stable with that job, I will go to College and get my teaching degree. That is the plan right now so far.

Update on McGuire:

He is now 26 Months old now! Can you believe it?! He is the ultimate chatter box, loves to say thank you when he's not asked to do so. He rides his big wheel with his "helmet" which is a trick or treat bucket with frankenstein.  He loves playing with his truck and drawing and singing the ABC's. Its probably one of the cutest things he's done.



Thats what is going on in our little house, not too thrilling, just being CRAZY together :)
