*sPrInG*

What has been going on this month- 
Colby had a brief and work-filled spring break.
I finished my winter term with okay grades (only get a two week break- boo).
Drex James Moody was born- his mom and him had a rough go for a little while, but thankfully, they are both on the uphill swing. He is sooooo cute and I can't wait to meet him!


The weather has been very enticing.
Dates with friends have been tempting.


Walks with our pooch have been  a hoot.


Playing at the church pavilion provides for lots of exploring.


The chicks, bunnies, ducks, and turkey's are in at Cal Ranch and IFA and we make frequent visits to both places to check these cute little critters out.


The phone dump includes: rosy cheeks from playing outside- mom and Charlie getting stacked with toys- a future dog dentist on our hands?- cheese- watching mom leave for work out the front door- cuddle with mom- morning movie time- no blanket? that's okay we'll use a wipe- Great-Grandma Joyce and Aunt Deb came to visit and brought a duck it's her new favorite stuffed animal.

Because it has been so long since an update: funky sleeping- cuddle with Grandma Nikki- I went to a med/surg conference at IMC and these were the ladies that I went with (and Kall's daughter)- kisses for mom- bloodshot eyes- cuddle with Charlie- giving Diamond, the horse, a kiss- yummy food, another funky sleeping position.

Funny facts about our almost two year old:
She calls chocolate milk 'bunny' cause there is a bunny on the Nesquik container.
Whenever she spills something she says 'honey' cause that is what we have always said to her when she spills. 
She mimics everything we say including fart, burp, boobies, ect. We need to be more careful. 
She loves to cover her toys, Charlie, and anything else with a blanket. She uses wipes to wrap up the remotes. 
She loves her friends Layne, Tayte, and Lainey and asks for them all the time. She also asks about Ady who is my cousin Aaron's little girl who she has only played with once. Then there is Brody- the first thing she asked when walking into Russ and Nikki's house this last time was "where's Brody?" 
And she won't say Dylan or Shayda but she will say Mae (which is Shayda's middle name).
She loves to color.
The two shapes she can identify and say are heart and circle.
She knows where a lot of body parts are including shoulder, elbow, knees, toes, fingers, eyes, nose, ears, eyebrow, chin, teeth, tongue, belly, heart, and more.
She still loves all animals and can name a whole slew of them. 
She loves to say she is pretty and points to and says princess when she sees a princess. 
She gives THE BEST kisses. She will grab my face and kiss my nose, then cheeks, then forehead, then lips. I love it. 
She is so good when we ask her if she wants to have family prayer, she runs to the couch to bow her head. Then when we are done with the prayer, she says a resounding 'AMEN!'
She is really good at taking her dirty clothes into her room to put in her hamper. She makes sure she gets every last thing into it including the socks.
She will wipe up her 'honey's' all the while saying 'honey, honey.'
She will put her toys in the toy box and her kitchen stuff back in her pretend fridge.
She doesn't like it when her place at the table is dirty and she'll say 'cucky.'
She says 'happle' for apple and 'hallow' for pillow- she must really like how H's come out of her mouth!
We are converting her to one nap THIS week- I have been saying I think she is ready for one nap for months now but I have really enjoyed the two- but I REALLY think that the time has come.
She has been obsessed with the 'potty' lately- we have set her on it but she doesn't do anything- she just gets off and wants to flush the toilet! I am soooo not ready to start potty training- diapers are so convenient- expensive but convenient. 
We love our little munchkin and love to watch her learn new things every day!
