Piggies

Of course after the first ponytail will come the first piggie tails. haha... they are tiny but we think they are cute.

Updates on the Clayton home

We spent most of all Saturday scrubbing down the house and getting it really clean. It was a long day but it is so nice to be in a really clean home again.

We have decided Kaden is really behind the curve in development. His speech, although getting much much better since the tubes, is not nearly where is should be. He also seems to be behind in things like, getting himself dressed, and normal activities that a 2 year old should be able to do. He has always been behind the curve a little in motor skills because he is just so BIG for his age its hard to maneuver his body. I know I shouldn't worry. I know I shouldn't compare him to other kids his age. But I do. The hardest thing is I don't know how to help. Any ideas???

I have starting choreographing for the Western Dance Club of Utah performance team again. Holy cow dancing again is kicking my butt. I forgot how good of shape I USE to be in. And how bad of shape I am in NOW. Hopefully this will help with that.

I met with my department advisers to get ready to register for classes for the Spring semester. Am I crazy??? YES! ha. I am going to take a few photography classes so if anyone is looking for a free photo shoot I would love the practice.

I might start a job at home. Data Entry.. blah... life might just be getting a little bit crazier.

First Time Photo's

I decided to try my hand at a mini photoshoot with people other than my kids. Chris's sister and her boyfriend were kind enough to oblige. I think for my first time ever... they didnt turn out too bad. Here are some favorites.

St George Get Away

This Monday was Claudia's birthday. So Sunday night we headed down to surprise her. We had told her we couldn't make it down because of Chris's school. When we were about half way down we called to make sure she was home ( said we wanted to call her on the webcam) and found out she was in Las Vegas. We knew she had gone down there on Saturday but thought she was coming back Saturday night. Turns out they decided to stay an extra night and were still there. We panicked...slightly... then decided to call and tell Kelly we were on our way down. He was shocked and said he would try to get everything pack up and home as soon as possible but warned it would probably be awhile still. We got to the Clayton home at 7and didn't see grandma til 10, however the look on her face when she walked in the door and saw this....

Was Priceless! We snapped a shot as she walked in the door. But by requests of the birthday girl are not posting it. :)

Taycee is never short on Kisses

Taycee's "car seat head" on the way down to St George

And finally.... a big girl car seat! She loved it, but it makes me so sad that she is big enough to need one of these.

In othere news....
We went swimming for the last time this summer in our pool.

Taycee and her first ponytail! Haha it was just a little stub... but it was there.

SPLISH SPLASH

While we were in Saint George this weekend we went to the Park by the Claytons House. It has a splash pad and since it was almost 90 we thought Kaden would want to play in it. Haha boy were we wrong. He didn't really like getting sprayed and splashed all that much. He would go in for a few seconds then run out. He did however like trying to spray other people with the guns. Taycee on the other hand is my little water dog. She was crawling all over the pad getting soaking wet. She would crawl right through the spraying water with a big smile on her face.
