Holy where has the time gone?

I can't believe May was my last post.....seriously fail at this blog posting stuff!

Well, quick update, Nyah is in ballet and loving life. She has her first recital and isn't shy at all, just plays to the crowd and is happy in front of as many people as possible. She did soccer during the summer and loved it as well. She is so outgoing and loves to be the center of attention. Shocker for those who know her I'm sure! Saibra is starting to be stubborn and loudspoken. She follows Nyah everywhere, which in turn causes a fight because Nyah does not like to be followed. However, when Nyah isn't around, Saibra is the sweetest and most helpful little girl ever. She should have been an only child!

We are expecting our third little one in July....kind of still in shock but obviously it's supposed to happen. Nyah wants a brother, Saibra said "I want mine to be a girl and I will call her Sally". Sally is still to be decided upon as is the gender of this baby. We are keeping busy (hence the lack of blog posts) and enjoying our friends and family so much. Hopefully one of these days I will be completely caught up on here.....the internet will probably crash on that day from shock!

Here's to next time!!!!

Some day......

Some day I will have the pictures I have taken edited and post worthy.

Some day I will post pictures of my girls.

Some day I will have my blog completely caught up.

Some day it will stop raining and snowing.

Some day we will finally get to play outside.

Some day my foot will get better and I will be able to run again.

Some day we will have a better car.

Some day we will have our own place.

Some day I will understand the trials my family goes through.

Some day I'm going to have to be an adult and go to bed before 4 in the morning.

Until then...................

An old blog I meant to post but never did......

Over the last couple of months, we have celebrated the 4th of July, had lots of birthdays (including mine), fished, camped, and played like crazy! (Pictures to come????) Over my birthday weekend, we went to the Utah State Fair with my sister, her sweet Hallie girl, Briana and Scott. We had so much fun, ate WAY too much and of course were reminded how trendy a mullet truly is!!! I was lame and didn't take my camera to the fair (for several reasons) but, we hung out in Evanston for a bit with my family so of course I got a few pictures of my girls!! Oh to be young and carefree again and not 28!!! (tear for how old I am)











We also decided to go golfing. When I say we, I mean Cliff and Nyah golfed. Saibra went around picking up the golf balls and I took pictures. I do have to say that Nyah is getting pretty good!

Internet on my phone has taken over.

I am so thankfull for technology! After living in St. Kitts for 2 years where texting is the coolest thing you can do on your phone, I've kind of become addicted to having internet on my phone. Email automatically downloads, facebook pulls up in an instant.... The downside to that......This is the first time I've been on a computer in probably 3 or 4 months. It doesn't help that Cliff always has his laptop studying so I dred getting out this laptop with the black strip down the center because the pixels in the screen have gone bad. But, the fact that I got it out of storage is promising so look forward to some upcoming posts.

So funny I almost "Peed" my pants.

I haven't posted anything forever but this is too great not to share. We are in Wyoming, my brother is here with his kids so Nyah and Saibra are having so much fun with their cousins.

Yesterday Nyah was in the backyard playing. I looked out and she had her pants down around her ankles and she was squatting in the sand box. I ran out and asked her what the heck she was doing and she said "I needed to go potty". I tried not to laugh and asked if she had peed her pants and she replied with "No, it's right there" (pointing to the wet spot in the sand box) I guess she was having way too much fun to bothered with trivial things such as peeing in the toilet. Oh to be a three year old!

Does Hannah Montana actually live in Montana???

Oh I'm sure my little Hannah Montana lovin 3 year old wishes!
In February we made the long trip to Montana to see Grandma and Grandpa "with the puppies" (my girls have 7 Grandmas...we have to keep them straight some how) The girls had a blast which is more than I can say for the cats I'm sure. Anytime a cat was spotted the girls would run frantically, hoping for a quick snag.

Nyah also decided to do some painting. Grandma and Grandpa added on to their house and there was a paintbrush (with wet paint) sitting out. Why not put it to good use I'm sure Nyah thought, so she tried her artwork out on one of the walls. It wouldn't have been so bad if she would have painted the one wall with the dark burgundy paint from which the paint brush came, but instead...why not paint the light pink wall with the burgundy right?

Luckily there was one big distraction that both of the girls loved!! The HORSES!!!! Grandma Peggy with the puppies was nice enough to endure the cold and winey children who hate being bundled up....long enough to take both little darlings on a winter wonderland horse ride. Ok, so Saibra only lasted to the road and back but Nyah is die hard and went on what I would consider a rather lengthy ride for as cold as it was. I was informed that it wasn't long enough for her though. Oh well, I can only allow her to get frostbite so much until I'm considered by some to be a horrible mother. :)

We really had tons of fun and Cliff got to go to the hospital everyday and scrub in on surgeries with his dad. Maybe all of this moving and being broke stuff might work out in the end and he will be scrubbing in/performing surgeries all on his own......ahhh here's to that day and to our cute little girls who keep us oh so very busy!!! Love them!

Seriously She's 3....

I am so behind on Posting!! For a brief update, we moved from Maine and are having a fantastic time staying with family in Wyoming/Utah and soon to be Montana. More on this later....I just realized we've been so busy that I didn't post anything for My sweet Nyah Jane's birthday!!!!

She turned 3 can you believe it? I can't, I swear she acts like a 15 year old at times!!! For example, one day we were in Bed Bath and Beyond with my sister and her and Nyah were holding hands. Nyah looked up at Laura and said..."I feel like we're best friends"!! Everyday this little girl amazed me! Here are some of the many things we love about Nyah!!

*She is always willing to give you a hug
*She LOVES her sister
*She loves her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas (you get the idea, she loves her family)
*She loves Barbies, Babies, playing dress up, tea parties, and all wonderful pink and girly things!!
*She loves to sing and dance and can do a mean Hannah Montana Hoedown throwdown!!!
*she knows her primary songs, numbers, alphabet, colors and of course words that a 3 year old shouldn't know like "I'm gonna kick your butt"
*She is always willing to help, you just have to know how to nudge her the right way!
*She is a DAREDEVIL, nothing scares her which gets her into trouble at times!
*She makes us laugh EVERYDAY!
*She is a beautiful little girl! I love her golden locks, big brown eyes and EVERYTHING ABOUT HER!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET AND SPUNKY LITTLE GIRL!!! YOU KEEP ME ON MY TOES EVERYDAY!!!!!

I can't believe she's ONE!!

The past year seriously flew by! I remember sitting in the hospital last year at this very time, unable to sleep. I had a new baby, my husband was on an island thousands of miles away from me and it was the first night I had EVER spent away from Nyah. As tired as I was from having a baby, I didn't sleep at all that night. Now that I look back on it, I'm sad it went by so fast but so thankful my family is all together. So here is a little info on the birthday girl.

Saibra Nicole.......

Saibra is the happiest and sweetest baby I have ever seen. I know, you're thinking that I'm her mom so I have to say that, but she really is the best baby ever.

She loves to give kisses and cuddle, and she loves her big sister more than anything!!

She has always been an "over-achiever"! She rolled over at 2 months, crawled at 5 months and started walking at 10 months.

She can say ball, baby, daddy, momma, go, ouch, ya, and NyNy for Nyah. She is such a blessing in our lives and I am so thankful for the wonderful sweet little girl that she is! Happy Birthday Saibra!!!!

Ahhh....the park!

The weather was absolutely beautiful here today. So while Cliff studied at the hospital, I took the girls to the park. Saibra loves the swings and I just can't get over this picture. She's laughing so hard that it looks like she's scared/happy!

Anyway, the playground is divided into two sides, one for kids 2-5 years old and another for 5 and up. Which side do you think Nyah would play on? Oh yes that's right....the one with the big kids. She HAS to go down the BIGGEST slide

and run with all of the other "BIG"kids. Definately keeps her busy and I'm ok with that! Just glad she's having fun and enjoying the outdoors while she can!

As for a little update, Saibra "runs" everywhere. She started walking almost 2 months ago. I think she's so proud of herself for walking that she doesn't want to stop so she literally walks from the door to the couch, to the door, to the kitchen, back to the couch, and chases Nyah everywhere! They have become such good little friends and play tag and of course dolls together all the time. Of course Nyah, still has to pick on Saibra now and then to make sure she knows who's in charge. Speaking of Nyah, .She learned how to do somersaults last night and now does them through the room (I'm sure the people below us are thrilled), she can tell you the WHOLE story of 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, and for some reason today asked me if I remembered riding horses at Grandma's house. She said "mommy, you rode Shadow and he's black.....what is Pate again?" I told her he's brown and white and is called an Appaloosa. FYI......"NEW WORD FOR THE MONTH"! Nyah now walks around saying "Appaloosa.....Pate is an Appaloosa.....brown and white....Appaloosa, App....a....loosa!!!!! Sigh, I love these little girls of mine!!!

I love my teeny tiny girl!!

So I've noticed in most of my posts, that they are mainly about Nyah. I know the reason why, because I always have Saibra in the front carrier when we're out and about so....she gets left out of the pictures. But, I just want to let everyone know a little bit about Saibra this time.

She is the sweetest and best baby I could have ever asked for! She always has a smile on her face and just loves life. Everyday I think, Wow....it's a good thing she is such a good baby with the energetic, neverstopping 2 year old sister that she has. But, don't you worry, she loves her sister more than anything. In fact Saibra started crawling at 5 months and walking at 10 months just so she could keep up and follow Nyah around. I am so blessed to have 2 beautiful and wonderfull little girls!!!

Cowgirls don't cry.......

When we lived in St. Kitts, "Grandma Peggy with the Puppies", as Nyah calls her, sent Nyah 2 little horses that looked just like the real ones at Grandma's house. Everyday Nyah would tell us how when she got back to the states, she was going to ride the horses with "Grandma Peggy with the Puppies". Sure enough, everyday that we were at Grandma's house, she rode the horse and was in absolute heaven.

The following pictures are from a trail ride that Nyah, Peggy, and I took to the Seven Sisters Wildlife Refuge. It was the most beautiful, serene place ever and Nyah and I loved every moment of it! Oh and yes, the horse is jumping over the log with Nyah and Grandma! What can I say "Grandma Peggy with the Puppies" ROCKS!!!

Cousins, Camping, and the Cool Mountain Air!

Well as most of you know, we no longer live in St. Kitts. On August 15th we made the long journey back to the good ol' U.S.A. Just in time for my mommy's birthday, some fun with my cousins, Nyah and Saibra's cousins and who-ever elses cousins happened to be around. We had great food, went camping in the beautiful Uinta mountains, and took the girls to Provo Falls. Oh how I missed the mountains!!!!
