So I caved...

So I have been planning this trip for Danny's graduation for almost a month now, and he had no idea.  I booked the flights, hotel, etc, and kept it a secret.  I thought surprising him the day we left would be so much fun!

So anyways, I was with all the girls for girl's night during priesthood session, and they convinced me that I should tell him.  He has been really stressed thinking about finals and everything, and working all the while.  So I decided to let him know.  I was really bummed that it won't be a surprise, but it has really lifted his spirits, and I have been DYING to talk to him about it!!!

So for those of you who don't know...............we're going to NEW YORK!!

CAYDENCE IS ONE!!!

I can't believe this was only one year ago!

This is Caydence and her great Grandma who share a birthday.

Some new toys.

Before birthday pie......

.....and after.

I can't believe that my little girl is one!  The time has just flown by.  She is the happiest, funnest girl.  She has been a joy and such a great baby.  We love you Caydence!!

Meet Danny.

This is Danny.

He is my husband.

He plays the drums.

He's really good at drums.

He is in a band.

They are called The Market.

They are really good.

They just won battle of the bands at UVU.

All of his drumming pictures are blurry.

I guess he is moving really fast.

He likes this picture.

Thanks for reading.

We've moved!!

So, after one year with a baby in our bedroom, we've decided to move up in the world.  We found another apartment nearby that has 2 bedrooms, and we jumped on the chance to get it.  It was VERY hard to move, we absolutely loved our old ward and neighborhood, and our landlord was the greatest, and our rent was VERY low, but we had to make the separation eventually, and Caydence needed her own room.

Moving is never fun, but this one was especially hard because Caydence decided to get sick.  She was really whiny on Sunday, which, for those of you who don't know her, is EXTREMELY rare.  She moaned all day and we couldn't figure out what was wrong.  Then around 6:30 she threw up her dinner all over our new place.  (Well, new to us, but definitely not new)  I took her temperature and it was at 103.  We gave her Tylenol, and it eventually went down a little.  The next morning she was not herself again.  She was just laying on our bed and she wouldn't even sit up.  I took her temperature again and it was 104, so I called the doctor.  By the time we got in to the doctor it was 101.5, and she was acting much better (of course).  He said it was just a bug and the fever was her way of fighting it.  I hate those kinds of answers.

So my perfect baby that sleeps 12 hours a night has been up MULTIPLE times every night since we moved in.  We aren't sure if it is because it's a new place, and she is in her own room, or because she is not feeling well.

Anyways, other than that the place is pretty good.  We still haven't met any neighbors.  I think I am the only one in the apartment complex that stays home because I am the only car in the lot ALL day.  I'm going a little crazy being stuck inside with a sick baby, especially with the warm weather we've been having.  Oh well, I guess that's life!

3 years and counting...

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary and I still can't believe it!  Where does the time go?!  I've been watching my sister because my mom is out of town, so last night my dad traded me and watched Caydence while we went to dinner (at the Roof!) and a movie.  It was really nice to get away for an evening, especially since Danny is so busy!  I already talked about Danny in my last post, so if you want to hear all the mushy-ness, just see below...

To my amazing husband:

I just want everyone to know how awesome Danny is.  He works so hard so that I am able to stay home with Caydence.  He has been in school FULL TIME - including most summers - for the whole 3 years we have been married.  He also works full time: four 10 hour days a week, and 2 entire days for school.  He works Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat until 7:30 PM and goes to school ALL DAY Tues and Thurs.  And when he is not at school, he is doing homework.  He is so amazing.  I really appreciate all that he does, even if it means I don't get to see him very much.  He is graduating this semester, and I am so proud of him and all his hard work.  I love you Danny!

My 11 month old has 11 pairs of shoes.....

Don't ask, I don't know how it got this bad.  In fact, I didn't know it was this bad until I decided to line them all up and take this picture.  In my defense, they are 3 different sizes, so it's not like she has 11 all at once!  I think part of the reason I like to buy her shoes is that I can NEVER find shoes to fit me!!  (You try finding shoes in size 11!!)

This is Caydence's favorite spot to play.  We emptied the bottom shelf of our "pantry" when she started crawling and getting into things.  She loves to go in there and hide.
