Memorial-

I might add that I am almost 26 weeks in this pic. Pais is startin to get a little chair when I hold her.

The friday before memorial day I met my Grandma Knott, A. Margo, & A. Teresa down at the graves. I say graves because my mom, Grandpa Knott, and Uncle Steven are all buried there. We went down to clean up the graves even though I didn't do a thing cause I was to busy chasin Paisley around but they sure did make them look so nice. My grandma would even go around and clean other peoples grave.. She is hilarious! It was so fun to be up so close to here now and to be able to take part in this. I have never been able to visit them on Memorial day or ever put flowers on their grave so it was so nice to be able to now. I did good with holding it in until I got in the car then Jake called me and then I lost it. I loved the sweet pic of Pais with my moms grave and how she is slightly puttin her head on it. So precious! Wish I could have visited all my loved ones that day that have gone on before me. For Memorial weekend we went down to Jakes family cabin. It was so much fun as always  and to get to spend time with family and cousins is always a bonus!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures:(

My cutest little sis graduated last week and I cannot believe it! She is the last child and I cant believe its time for her to move on to big and better things. I cant wait to see what she does with her life and where life will take her. She let me take these pics of her. Isn't she so beautiful?! She is the sweetest thing you will ever meet! Love you sister!

 

So I also just have to jot down a few funny things about our 18 months old Miss Pais. She has been so so funny these days. Its crazy that she is 18 months old cause I have anticipated this age since she was born. Not that its a bad thing but thats how old I was when my mom passed away so I have always wanted to see how I was at that age and since my dad says that pais acts JUST LIKE ME when i was that age I can kinda get a glimpse of what I was like. Its sad to me that I dont remember her at all. To look at Pais and ask myself would she be able to remember me at all if I were to go? She relies on me so much for everything and I'm sure I did with my mother and it breaks my heart then I cant remember her when she did so much for me. Granted I was still very young but hopefully you get my drift. I am so thankful for the MANY home videos my dad took.. I could watch them for hours.

-Pais favorite movie right now is Little Rascals and she is so funny to watch it with. At the very beginning it shows 2 boys fishing and their hooks catch onto each other and they start tippin back and forth and so pais has to lean back and forth also and makes the whooaaaaa sound that they make. Also, when the boys meet at their clubhouse Spanky shakes everyones hands so Pais has to go around shakin everyones hands. Then when Darla and Alfalfa are on their little date in the boat and he sings to her, Darla does this cute little laugh and Pais does the laugh and then Alfalfas hair pops up and then Pais makes this other little laugh. She also makes little noises and does little actions all throughout the movie and it so so funny!

- Yesterday we were face timing with Jared and Shannon cause they found out what they were having:) So we were facetimin with them and Pais could see in the background their light switches and she is fascinated with light switches lately cause she loves to turn them on and off so she saw theirs and was tryin to turn them on on the screen. We got a pretty good laugh at it.

-I cant believe Pais isn't sayin full sentences now from all the blabbering she does. She doesn't say a whole lot but for some reason I can understand her and its so nice at this stage to be able to know what they want. 

-She makes the cutest little kiss noise and will kiss us on the lips all the time. My favorite it when Jake is holdin her she will grab his head and kiss his head, cheek, or neck. I'm not sure how long I should let her kiss his neck though hahaha. Its so dang cute though!

-Its so crazy to me that in just 3 short months our lives will be changing again. Sometimes at night when I rock Pais to sleep I think about how I probably wont be able to do that harldy anymore. And I have no idea how life is with 2 kids so who knows I still might be able to but just the realization that I wont be able to be able to just run to her every need and that she will need to learn patience fast when our little guy comes. I already know that she is not patient so I'm a little worried but we will all learn with time right. I cant wait to see how she will react to him. I am sure I will have a lot of days where I will cry tryin to get use to our new life with 2 kiddos but I sure am excited! I love to think about what he might be life and of course look like.

-I have been feelin really good and really have nothing to complain about except for I eat way to much sugar! Good thing its getting warmer and hotter cause all I want to do is eat fruit. I have gained 11 lbs so far and but I feel and look like I have gained 80!! I just remind myself that its all for a good cause.

-Jake and I have been so busy lately helpin with things for my sisters wedding comin up in just 5 short weeks. Jake designed the wedding announcement and man they are so cute!! He did such a good job! I would post them but I am goin to wait until their out in the public. I have been busy workin on her wedding book where people will write in for the reception and I just finished it last night and I cant wait to see it in person. We also will be makin her wedding video so we need to get started on that cause July is goin to be here soon! Cant believe June starts tomorrow!

Easter and more:)

Missing

This is goin to be short, pictureless post!! But lots has been goin on thats why I have been missing. We haven't had the internet in like a month so I feel so lost and dont know whats goin on with everyone but I cant wait to catch up with everyones lives again... Here's whats been goin on!!

---WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!..... A BOY IN FACT!! We are beyond words excited and cant believe that he will be here so soon. My due date is Sept 4th so that puts me at 24 weeks tomorrow.. I have been feeling great -i dont have to much to complain about:)

---We moved to Bountiful over the weekend. Jake has been workin since Decemeber for this Network Marketing company called Ariix. We are also representatives for the company so it makes things really fun and interesting. We went to a convention in California the end of April for it and some of the new products that came out he designed the stickers that went on them and the packaging so its been so fun to see him do that.. He has been loving it and its been a great job so far-- we just hope they will keep us for good!! We are loving Bountiful so far and it feels SO GOOD to have a place of our own. Everything came about so quickly! And I just have to write this experience down for my own personal sake. It was a sat in March and I just balled the whole day and I just was in the wierdest mood ever... the pregnancy doesnt help...but I just was feeling so down and depressed. So the next day Jake and I talked about maybe just renting our own place in Gunnison cause we have been stayin in his grandmas house which was so so nice because she has been at the rest home and someone needed to be there to keep all the mice out cause its in the middle of a field. Anyways we talked about rentin a place and I wandered how we were goin to do it all because we haven't had a rent payment at Jakes grandmas house and we were scrapin by but a lady I use to work with in Kanosh has a big cliental and she lives in St. George.. Anyways she got a new job and cant come up to Kanosh anymore so she needed someone to take over her clients.. So it was goin to be perfect cause I could go over to Kanosh and make some extra money to help with our rent.. So things were lookin good. We saw a place for rent right on Main street and we went and checked it out.. Just didn't love it.. not even like it.. so we were like ok whatever we really dont need a place we are just fine where were at and then I wouldnt have to stress to the max every month if we would be able to make our rent payment. Jake just kept tellin me that he had a feelin that something would be happening soon... I kid you not the very next night I was on the computer and jake had his email open and I noticed he had an unread message from his boss. She had emailed him and asked if he could come work full time in the office in Bountiful. My prayers had been answered.. I jumped up and got all excited and Jake and I both were just smiling from ear to ear... So I called my grandma to see if we could stya with her for a couple weeks but the couple weeks went realy well so we decided to get an apartment and here we are.. Sorry this is alot longer than I planned on and I know I probably don't have anyone readin this but I needed to right it down for my journal reasons.. Anyways we are so so excited and feel like we have been reborn again!!

---Jake and I celebrated our 5th anniversary.. Can you believe that??! I love him more than ever and he treats me so so good!! I turned 24 the end of April and got to spend it in Sunny California except I was inside all day but still we had so much fun and learned so much!

Anyways thats whats been goin on in our lives and once we get the internet up and running then I can post about Easter and all my other random pics!

Mike & Camille

Over the weekend we got to go to my familys cabin. I love every opportunity we get to go there cause its so nice to get away from everything and just go relax and have fun... and who doesn't love being in the mountains! The even that brought us there was my sister was celebratin her 19th birthday and she wanted to spend it at the cabin... and little did she know she would be PROPOSED to there.. on her birthday. Mike told us if we could all wait and meet up at the cabin at 9 but we couldnt wait that long so we waited until 8 30 and Jake, I, and Pais met up with my parents and walked in the cabin together so we could congratulate them and to see her rind. It was so cute how he did it. They are so in love I love it!! When we walked in we all hugged Camille of course and she tackled Sierra and I on the couch it was cute. Mike is such an awesome guy. He is one of those guys that can have fun where ever they go and is always crackin jokes and I dont think he as 1 enemy in the world. He treats Camille so good and its so comforting knowin that I will never have to worry bout him with anything.  They really are PERFECT for each other. I went to highschool with Mike and he was a sophmore when I was a senior and he was a senior when Camille was a freshman. He comes from such a good family to. His parents actually came up sat night and stayed til Sunday til we all went home. Even though I have always known who they were I never really knew them or had conversations with them and it was so fun to get to know them at the cabin. They will be getting married July 7th in the Manti Temple. YAY!!

So I just have to journal this down.. In July of last year we were home for the 24th celebration and we were at church and in walks Mike. I went over to him and gave him a hug and asked him about his mission (he was at my parents ward cause he would be speaking about his mission) anyways I asked him where he would be goin to school and he said UVU and I told him Camille was headed there also and I told him they should totally hang out and he was like ya that would be good not thinkin anything of it I'm sure. So they after he talked I told Camille that he was goin to UVU and she got all excited and made a joke how they were goin to date and hang out haha.. She said she always had a crush on him in highschool. Its crazy to think back when that happened and I had that conversation with Mike that in just one year from then they would be GETTING MARRIED. It still blows my mind but I couldnt help but write down that fun story about them. They actually did start hangin out when school started and they fell for each other really fast and it kinda freaked Mike out a little bit and Camille was kinda hangin out with this other kid so when she hadnt heard from Mike for awhile her and Landon (dumb face) went exclusive and that was just a disaster lets be honest. So they dated for a few months and then on New Years she broke it off with him and Mike text her just like 2 days later and said "Hey I know your datin someone but if anything changes let me know I would love to get together with you again" and Camille was like actually I just broke up with him and they have been together ever since. That all just happened 2 months ago crazy huh... When you know you know though I am a prime example of that hahah anyways we are excited for JULY!!!

I did her nails for her for her birthday:)

This is way besides the subject here but one day Pais found my hot choclate packets and just tore into like a freakin animal. It was EVERYWHERE here is proof!!

You cant really see but her finger that is blurry she was shakin it "no no" when I took the picture cause she knows when she does something naughty so she shakes her finger... I love it!

I am IN LOVE with this picture! About a month ago I taught her to say "cheese" and every time I would get the camera out she would never say it.. well I caught her at the right time at the cabin cause she said it and I snapped this.. My new favorite picture.. To bad her face isn't clean and she has on her mountain close and her hair is crazy.. oh well we love her more and more each day!!

Arizona & Magic

We left Pais with my parents while we went to AZ and this is what she did back at home.. hang out with mollie:)

Our first day we were there we all went on a hike.. L-R Hunter.Mason.Hallee.Aiden.Madelyn.Jalen...Best lizard hunters ever!

Wow dont our smiles rock!

All us girls enjoyin a little break at the top.

 

 

 

 

 We went to Arizona for my nephew Mason's baptism. We loaded up 2 vehicles and were on our way. Everyone left their babies home which made the ride more enjoyable. It was weird not having Pais with us though. I kept lookin for her and wandering what she was eating now but I didn't have to worry since we left her with my parents. It was so nice being in Arizona though with everyone. It was such good weather and Jennie is the best host ever. I wish we could have stayed a few more days there but were so grateful for the time we did get there. The baptism was so good and Mason is one sweet boy. I cant believe he is already 8!! We cant til we get to go visit Suprise again. Thanks for everything Cox family!

So my Uncle drove all the way from Phoenix to do a magic show in Richfeild and we were not about to miss is. My uncle (moms youngest brother) has loved magic since he was a little kid. I have never been to one of his real shows. I have seen videos and little things in person but this time I got to see his big tricks.. He blows my mind. He has traveled all around the world and is well known. I couldnt get any good pictures but this one he was juggling and he even did it on that rope.. crazy huh!! So glad we got to go over to watch him!!

So at the magic show my uncle chose Mike (camilles love) out of the audience not even knowing it was my sister Camilles boyfriend and my uncle Craig has this amazing belly dancer that helps him with his tricks and what not so she grabbed a hold of him and kissed him before she went away in this box.. it was HILARIOUS!! We were all dying and it was even funnier that it was Mike that she did it to. After wards we went and talked to my Uncle and his helper and she felt so bad but we all thought it was so so funny!!

Sorry this pic is sideways but while we were gone to Arizona over the weekend was prom and my sisters prom days are over but they came home from the floor show and put on their prom dresses and they put one on pais do.. arent they beautiful! Pais had such a blast she probably didn't want to come home!

15 months

*

 

Oh man does this girl crack me up or what! I cant not believe how big she is getting.. somedays ill just sit back and watch her go about her business and I think to myself... k how did she know how to do that and who taught her that. Its so crazy to me the stuff that kids pick up on their very own. I could watch her every move all day every day and most the time I do just cause I love to see what she will do next..You are the cutest thing ever Pais and daddy and I love you sooooooo much!

* Loves to go outside and see the doggies.. I cant wait til it gets warmer cause I can only stand to be out there for bout 3 seconds.. the cold murders me!

* She still has an unbelievable love for any kind of animals.

*She LOVES to tease Jake and I.. if I tell her no she will just do it faster and harder and she thinks its so funny.. not me though.. but kinda sometimes I do haha

*She LOVES her daddy.. he has been workin alot at home doin some graphic work for this MLM company that were in and so where the computer USE to be it had no door it was just like a little den area so we had to move the comp into our room cause there are built in desks in there so now he can shut the door so he can get things done.. when she finds out that he is in there she doesn't understand what she cant go play with daddy:(

*She still loves Annie and now we have added Tangled to the list.. Im recently workin on her likin Dispicable Me and Rio

* She has lately had quite the attitude.. if we take something away from her she will throw her head clear back and cry then she repeats that. She is such a girl!

* When she knows she has done something that she knows she isn't suppose to do she shake her finger like "no no no" cause thats what I do to her.. HA

* She loves playin in toilet water.. if she only knew what she was messing with.. clean or not..We keep the doors shut at all times but our bathroom by our rooms she can open cause it doesnt shut that well so she can just push it wide open so jake had to fix it so now its a pain to open it but its better then her playin in the nasty water!

*When she wakes up in the mornin jake and i have to wait for the other to get out of bed before we can go get her cause we both love to see her face in the morning.. we crack open the door just alittle and make a little snarl noise and she starts jumpin so high and laughs.. its my favorite time of the day.. seeing her so happy! Then she will run over to her little baby music fish thing thats tied to the crib and show us she can push it.. even though she has been doin that for like 8 months now!

* When she wakes up she will just blabber and blabber for like a half hour and its so great.. Jake and I will just lay in bed and listen to her and have a great laugh.

*When she is watchin Annie or Tangled she tries to sing with them mostly just when its slow songs it is the cutest thing I gotta get it on video..

* She loves to dance as you can see if the video I posted a couple weeks ago.. now instead of jumpin up and down she will raise her arms and swing them back and forth and its the best site ever! I have been tryin to teach her how to kick lately and she cant quite get that one down yet.. She will definetly be our little performer..

* She is gettin more talkative each and everyday.. she hasnt said anything new lately but one day were goin to wake up and she will be sayin full on sentences I swear.

* She is still facing backward in her car seat and as many times as I have wanted to switch her forward I just cant do it yet.. I would feel so bad if I did switch her forward and then we got in an accident and then something happened to her i would feel horrible.. I actually went to go buy one from the hospital cause my aunt is over the car seat stuff and she was like promise me you wont switch her for awhile.. all these recent studies have showed so much so whenever I say i'm just goin to I remember by aunts face and i just cant get that look she had out of my head so she will be stayin like that for awhile.. oh well she doesn't know any other way so I best be keepin her there until she is 2 or 30 lbs or if her legs are getting squished haha..

Dont grow up to fast k pais.. I want you to stay little forever but the older you get its so fun to see your personality come out.. She may look 100% like her dad but she acts 100% like me.. my poor mothers and father who had to raise me.. I'm now feelin your pain!!

Hard Knock Life

This is what we do ALL DAY....EVERYDAY.. and I laugh everytime likes its the first time I have seen her breakin out her moves!!

 Sorry its so blurry..it was takin on my cell phone but at least you can still see her dancin and the head bangin!
