What Happens When Daddy is Watching Me

And this my friends is why Amanda is now attending Daycare..... Ha Ha Ha

Just kidding.... But really... This is how fast she is now a days. And.... how darn cute she is. How can you get mad or even annoyed at a cutie like that? She is so much fun.

Arthritis at the Zoo

The last week in April Nicole, a dear friend of mine was participating in the Arthritis walk at the Phoenix Zoo. This wasn't just any walk. Nicole was 9 months pregnant. We were hoping the walk would put her into labor.
Sad to say, she didn't... But we DID have fun.

Nicole and Deona

Deona had to stop in the gift shop.. :)

Thank you for a fun morning Nicole and Deona :)

You Have How Much Money??

In April Vincent received his 2nd job. For the past two summers he has worked for a friend of ours who owns a pool company. Now, he is working for a local Frozen Yogurt Company. He luvs it. I will admit that we are very proud and sooo thrilled.

Amanda LUVS frozen Yogurt now...

New Life in Daycare

We have decided it would be best if we placed Amanda in daycare a couple days a week. Now that she is 13 months old she never ever stops and no longer takes long naps. Brian on the other hand, does stop, and now takes longer naps than she does. With me working 6 days a week... It seemed like the only reasonable answer... The only question was where?
I truly believe that Heavenly Father does place people in our lives for a reason. (I am believing that more and more everyday)
Vincent has a friend in our Stake whose mom has ran her own daycare for the past 13 years. I have to add that she comes highly recommended. Not only does she have family in our Ward that we just adore, her daughter is a great friend of Vincents and to top it off; she makes the best Chicken Salad Sandwich I have ever had.
We are so Thankful that she had an opening.... (Like I said, Heavenly Father has a hand in everything)

She is having so much fun!!!!

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful Daycare provider....

Thank YOU to Heather McKinstry!!!!!!
