THE WINTERS' WORLD

Re-commited to blogging.....I think?

2010-04-05T17:48:00.001-07:00

Ok Ok.... So my husband asked me tonight...I wish you were still blogging. And with that, here I am. I guess I will just start out by updating since last june. Ha Ha. You would think that would be hard but nothing much has happened. We stayed here in Delta because Jon got hired on as a Special Ed teacher at the Delta High School. He is really enjoying it. We bought a home in January. We love it. We are just down the road from the High School and two houses away from Jons parents! It has been good. Our home is an older home. Built in 1952, or something like that. We have little by little been updating it. Rylee has been in pre-school this year and loving every second of it. She has learned so much. I can't believe how much she is growing up. She most definitely has a mind of her own. I can no longer just pick out clothes for her because she WILL NOT wear them. She has her own style. Almost every day she wants to wear things that A....don't match and B..... are OLD! Oh well! She is a sweetie. Taylor is also a spunky little thing. She can most definitely hold her own against Rylee. She can make Ry cry in point 2 seconds. She is 2 and she counts to seventeen and can say the alphabet to k. Its crazy to me how much the second child learns with an older sibling. She is so hilarious! I love my girlies!! Well, I am gonna give this another shot (blogging). I don't have internet at my house so I have to do it at my in laws... which takes more time to get it done, but we will give it a shot.

Here are some pics of my girls with their cousins. We had a fun easter weekend. All cousins were down on both sides so it was fun to get to visit with everyone, except Kelly and Marcus. Top pic is of my girls and Tanna in their easter outfits from Grandma Pace. So cute! Bottom pic is of Rylee with Macie and Brooklyn. Their hats are part of the Piniata they had at Grandma Winters. We had lots of fun with everyone!

Here is Taylor putting on her lip gloss from the easter bunny. She is a lipstick freak!! She just sits and puts it on over and over and over with a little bit of smacking in between each application! ha she is so funny!

Thought Ry looked sweet in this pic. The headband she is wearing is usually on her head 24/7. She got it because we went to get haircuts and she didn't want on....unless I would get her the headband.... the little manipulator!! Guess we both got what we wanted. But she wears that thing everyday, whether it matches or not! Love this girl to death!

A pic of daddy and his girls a few weeks ago. We took the girls to disney on ice and stayed in a hotel the night before. There is nothing they love more than swimming in a pool so it was great. Despite the day from hell that followed this night!!!!!

A trip to Primary Children's Hospital

2009-06-05T21:56:00.000-07:00

So I have gotten a few texts and phone calls about Taylor and wanted to explain what happened on Thursday....... So Taylor woke up at about two thursday morning crying. Pretty typical for Taylor when she is teething or sick or something so I just assumed it was her teeth and gave her some medicine and layed her back down. She kept crying and crying so I layed her by us and let her cry. She fell asleep the rest of the night. I woke up in the morning and got up. Taylor was by me and tried to get up and immediately started screaming again and layed back down. I picked her up and stood her up. She grabbed her neck and started screaming owwwweeeeee!!So I just carried her upstairs and this went on for an hour or so. She wouldn't pick up her head or walk or anything so I started worrying about meningitis. I took her to the emergency room and they looked her over. The dr. sent her in for some x-ray's and sent them to provo to have the looked at. The radiologist in provo said there looked to be an absess or some kind of thickening between her vertebrae and trachea. He said they were waiting to hear from Primary Children's Hospital. I was freaking out by this point. What is a thickening I thought?! A few minutes later the dr. came and said that an ambulance was on the way and that they would be transporting her up to Primary Childrens. He said that they were concerned about it and it wasn't normal and that this thickening could be compromising her airway so she needed to be in the ambulance. So in about 5 minutes me and Taylor were in an ambulance on our way. It was the longest trip of my life!! Her oxygen levels kept dropping low when she would cry so trying to hold her still so her neck wouldnt move was ridiculous. When we got there I was so glad to see Jon. His friend was there and they gave taylor a blessing which was nice. Thanks Chris!! We had to wait for a good two hours before the dr. actually came in. Taylor was so hungry and so uncomfortable. She hadn't eaten a thing that day and was crying saying "ba ba, juice, juice". They said she couldn't have anything because she might need surgery. It broke my heart. I was going crazy just wanting some answers on what was wrong and going to happen with her. Several doctors finally came and looked at her and had blood tests done. They were fine. They sent her in for a CT scan and sedated her with valium. After about 10 minutes she was completely loopy, BUT she was actually sitting up, moving her head and all that. This was so different because she couldnt lift her head all day and was in so much pain. The CT scans came back ok. They said that if she was crying a lot when she got her original x'rays it could have made it look like there was something there that wasn't or make something look a little blurry. They basically came to the conclusion that she was having neck spasms. So after an extremely exhausting and emotional day, we got in the car and came home with Taylor happy as can be. I couldn't understand how I could go up with every bad possibility going through my head and them sayin she would be probably having surgery that day to nothing being wrong. I am just thankful she is fine and felt lucky to have drs who, even though things were ok, made sure things were safe. Thanks to everyone who called and expressed concern for us. We are so happy all is well and my Taylor is ok. So that is the story of by far the most crazy day of my life...........so far!!!

I Lied!!

2009-05-16T08:00:00.001-07:00

Ok, so most people already know but the last post i wrote is kinda not true anymore. So I talked about going to Provo. But a few days after we decided on Provo, they called Jon and said that there were going to be openings in delta. We thought for a day or two because if we applied we would pretty much be losing our opportunity in Provo. Well, we did it anyways and yesterday we got a call saying he had gotten the job! We are very excited. I am so proud of Jon for everything he has accomplished. He has worked so very hard. I love you with all my heart Jon and thanks for always taking care of us, even though you went with no sleep and worked two jobs and went to school all in one day for a year. I can't believe its finally over!

MOTHERS DAY RECAP
I had a great mothers day this year. Rylee ran up and gave me a card and told me happy mothers day. The card was from Jon but she wrote a "T" and an "R" for Rylee and Taylor all by herself . She was so proud of it!! We went to church and much to my surprise, She actually stood up on the stage with the primary and sang mother's day songs. Most of you who know Rylee, know thats not exactly normal for her, well, unless she has her face covered and is frowning. But, hands were down and she had a huge smile on her face!!!!! They did the cutest little presents in primary and little cards that asked questions about moms. She said I look prettiest....in a dress, and my favorite place to go is.......to the store, and other questions but it was so sweet it made me cry. I'm so lucky to be a mom to my beautiful little girls!!!! They truly make my life full of joy. And thanks to my awesome husband for making me feel so special on Mother's day! I pretty much milked it for all it was worth. He was probably sick of me by the end of the day but thanks for not showing it boyfriend!!! I love ya to death! I'm also so grateful to have a fabulous mom. She is the best mom. I have always been able to talk to her about anything and she would do absolutely anything for her children. Jon always makes fun of me and my sisters and even Marcus cause we are always talking to my mom. But I think it means something good. I''m so grateful to be so close with her! Now with my kids, she does the same thing. They love her so much and just think the worlk of their grandma Pace! Thanks for letting us live in your house and destroy you things for this past year. Ha! I love you so much mom. And also a thanks to Shari, my mother in law, who is the best. She does so much for us! Thanks shari, we love you.

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

What's New.....

2009-04-21T07:12:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally got a chance to update my blog. I have gotten so bad at updating because I am not patient enough to wait for pictures to upload. I am bad I know! Anyways, we had a great Easter. Kelly's family came from Las Vegas and M&M came for a day. It was fun and nice to see everyone. We really missed Kara and her family though. The girls were able to have three easter egg hunts and that was great for Rylee. It was a little much for Ry since her easter basket was completely full and she said she didn't have enough eggs. WOW!!!! We have pretty much made a decision on where to live. We went to Rexburg Idaho for an interview last weekend and fell in love with the City! The best part was spending the weekend at Kara's. She seems so far away so it was nice to see her! Anyways, after the interview they offered him the job. We were so excited and asked for the weekend to think about it. Meanwhile, Provo school district wanted him too but didn't know for sure if they had an opening. They promised to know by monday. Well, due to the EXPENSIVE insurance and a compute with the idaho job, we decided on Provo. They called on monday and offered a job to him. We don't know which school for sure but are excited and happy about the decision!!! (We will still see ya lots Kara, I promise!) Anyways, things are going well and I am just so proud of Jon for getting finished with school after SEVEN years of switching majors and finally deciding and getting done!! I love ya boyfriend!!! We are excited for graduation cause President Monson is speaking. That will be fabulous! Anyways, I am posting some of the pics we have had lately.

Easter Pictures

2009-04-21T07:05:00.000-07:00

Painting Easter Eggs
We went to the sand dunes to play. It was so much fun for Rylee. But as you can see, Taylor was miserable. Her eyes swoll up all big so I had to take her home early.

As you can see, the adults seemed to have all the fun. Jon and Kelly had contests to see who could jump the farthest. Gary joined in as well. Jon said that he would kinda stop before he jumped. Rylee said "Gary, your kind of a pussycat!" Awesome, all I can say is at least she added the cat to the end.

Grandma and Boston

2009-04-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

So sunday afternoon my mom had an easter egg hunt for pretty much just Rylee cause Taylor didn't care. This was their third one of the weekend. Taylor just sat and smiled.
Maria was nice enough to get out there with Rylee and look for eggs. Rylee loved it. My mom was a nice easter bunny and hid some envelopes with money in them for us to find. Thanks mom!

This was the Lynndyl easter egg hunt. Taylor really liked the suckers but didn't care about any of the eggs cause she didn't know what was inside. Rylee had fun. Her and Kennady found eggs together. When we asked for a picture, Rylee freaked out! Sweet little Kennady tried so hard to get her to smile but NO!

2009-04-21T07:00:00.000-07:00

Taylor is a water girl just like Rylee was. She does not care what the weather is like outside, she will go out and pour water on her. She would live outside if I let her.
On Easter weekend, Jon had to go to a national park for his class so we went to Lehman Caves. Clint's family and Shari and Heather came. It was snowy but fun. Rylee absolutely LOVED the caves!!!Here is a picture of all the kids in a little cabin at Lehman's cave.

Rylee and Kennady! I am so glad they got to spend time together. They are hilarious together. They remind me of me and Susanna when we were younger.

The girls in their dresses on Easter morning. They both lookes so sweet. Wish I could get Taylor to smile for pics but she just won't.

Random Pics!

2009-04-21T06:58:00.000-07:00

My little Taylor bug
These are some pics of Rylee and her cousins when we watched them a while ago. They were getting ready to go to the swimming pool and were SOOOOO excited. They are just the best of friends when they are together. We sure miss not living by them anymore.

So we were out at the Rez the other day and were messing with our camera timer thing and were able to get a picture of all of us which is not a common thing so I decided to post it. The one above is Rylee taking a pic of me and jon. She did a pretty good job at centering it I thought!

Catching up

2009-03-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

Well it has been so long since I have blogged so I thought I better catch up even though we have really been doing nothing. We are still here in Delta living with my parents and Jon has been subbing like crazy. It has been good that he has been able to work a lot but we are hoping to find a job soon. There have been two or three that he has been able to apply for but that is it. We are hoping more will come out in April. We are starting to worry that we will have to go out of state to get a job. I guess if that is what we have to do we will do it but we would love to stay in Utah. The girls are just busier than ever. Taylor is starting to say lots of different words and definitely puts up a fight with Rylee. As crazy as Rylee's attitude is, I am scared to say that Taylor's is even worse. Marcus (my brother) and Maria got married this past weekend and it turned out great. She was a gorgeous bride!! And Marcus looked pretty spiffy himself. We are so happy they are finally married, being high school sweethearts and all! Love ya tons M&M ! Well here are some pics that I have taken recently.

Wedding weekend

2009-03-13T09:41:00.000-07:00

M & M finally tied the knot!!!
Maria was a beautiful glowing bride!!! They had a reception on Friday and got married on Saturday morning. We are so excited for them. We are so happy to have her in our family, even though she has felt like our sister for like five years now! Love you guys!

These are pics of the girls right before the reception Friday night.

2009-03-12T10:21:00.000-07:00

So Saturday turned out pretty crazy on our end. We sent Rylee up to sleep over at cousin Tanna's. Then she was gonna ride to the temple in the morning with them. Well Kara didn't have her curling iron so she flat ironed Rylee's hair. It looked cute when she got there but after about 10 minutes she looked like an orphan. The thing about it is that we were having the family pictures at the temple and we were all wearing matching clothes. Sad to say, I didn't really want Rylee in the pictures because she looked terrible and I didn't want her to see them when she grows up and say.... what is the deal? I look terrible! Jon promised me we could go back up to temple square and take pics of her again looking like her normal pretty self. Then...... we were waiting to go to the ceremony room and I reached in to get our recommends and there were me and JOn's but.... I happened to grab an old recommend of Jon's from 2004!!!!! He didn't get to go to his BROTHER IN LAWS wedding! I was devastated. Jon ended up staying out and watching the girls. I was so sad. The day ended up good and Marcus and Maria had a great day and I guess that is all that matters!

A little break!

2009-03-11T08:37:00.000-07:00

My brothers fiance was getting her endowments out on a saturday and I begged Jon to let us go stay in a hotel the night before for a much needed getaway. The girls LOVED the pool. It was as warm as a bathtub! Wonderful!!!!

Dad, Tay, and Ry

This is Ry on her bed, a pull out twin couch that ME and her slept on. Not such a great night!

A day with daddy!

2009-03-10T08:20:00.000-07:00

This is how the day started out.......
and this is how it ended up!

Rylee discovered an ape mask in my parents closet one day when me and my mom went up north. So her and dad had fun with the camera. I can't post some of the pics or jon would kill me. Cause with as much hair as he has on his chest, he really looked like an ape! WOW! Rylee has actually gotten pretty good at taking pictures. She did a good job at taking these of jon.

Here is my little ape!

2009-03-07T08:04:00.000-08:00

So Taylor's new favorite thing is riding around in the doll stroller with Rylee pushing her. Rylee enjoys it too. Whenever Ry stops pushing, Tay starts screaming. Its funny.
Taylor and papa

My little princesses!

My sister Kara gave Taylor this chair and she loves it. She always sits like this and just chills!

Visiting Clint and Melissa

2009-02-17T07:47:00.000-08:00

We went to visit Clint and Melissa and watched their kids one day and out kids had a blast!
Rylee and Tyler (little buddies) Whenever they get together I swear they see who can come up with the weirdest words. They say these random words and just laugh their heads off. Its pretty funny.

Taylor had a blast on their trampoline. It was her first time on one and she loved it!

Rylee and Clint's dog buddy. She loved Buddy!

THE COPS ARE HERE!!!!!

2009-01-10T16:20:00.000-08:00

So this morning we were at the Winters house and I was sitting at their computer blogging of course. I looked over and Taylor was messing with their phone so I got up and grabbed the phone from her. It looked like she had called someone cause it said the call had lasted over a minute. No one was there so I hung up. A few seconds later the phone rang. I answered and they said "Hi, this is the Millard County Sheriff's Office, we just received a 911 call, is everything ok." Taylor was screaming her guts out in the back ground cause I had taken the phone from her. I told them it was my baby, and that that is why she was screaming. She said "Oh that is fine, but the cops will be there any second cause they respond to all calls". Just a second after that, the doorbell rang and sure enough the cops were out front. I made Jon answer the door cause I was just dying. The cop just kinda chuckled and said he couldn't believe it was Taylor that had called. Usually older kids call. It was scary and embarrasing. I better start paying attention to my kids and save the blogging for when they are sleeping eh!

Miss Independant

2009-01-10T12:59:00.001-08:00

So lately Rylee has been wanting to get herself dressed, do her own hair, and put makeup on (when I am not looking). The worst part about it is that when she does her hair, she will put anything in it. This includes liquid hand soap, lotion, shampoo, and lots and lots of hairspray. These two pics are strictly hairspray. It is so thick in her hair!!!! I couldn't even move it. And to top it off, aunt Heather's eye makeup. And the furry shoes look awesome too, don't ya think?
WOW!!!

This bottom pic is her doing her own hair. She uses about twenty elastics daily. I want to be a nice mom and let her keep it like that cause she just thinks it is soooo pretty, but it also makes me look like a bad mom, at least it looks like I don't know how to do hair. In the front, she usually has two little clips right above both of her ears. She seriously reminds me of shrek and his ears that poke out. Its funny and very interesting every single day!!!

Taylors 1st Birthday

2009-01-05T15:56:00.000-08:00

We just celebrated Tay's 1st birthday. She is getting so big. But she is still really small. She looks kinda funny walking around cause she still seems small to me. Here is Taylor eating ice cream. She would not eat her lady bug cupcakes. When we took the spoon from her she threw a fit for about twenty minutes. We couldn't get her to calm down. Man she has a temper.

We had a birthday party one night with the Winters and then another one the next night with the Pace's. She got soooooo many clothes and a few fun toys that she didn't really care for. Rylee really enjoyed opening all of Taylor's presents and as you can see, Taylor could care less.

These are my lady bug cupcakes I made. They aren't the greatest but at least they were a step up from the pathetic cake I made on Rylee's birthday. A lot simpler.

Christmas Day

2008-12-25T10:41:00.000-08:00

Rylee finally got her bike! She has wanted one all year. Her birthday and Christmas are both in the middle of snow so she has been riding inside. It is funny!
I look hidious in this picture but Taylor was sick and slept through opening presents so I had to put a picture with her. This is me with my pressure cooker. Yeah!!

Rylee with her new baby.

Jon and Rylee went for a drive to find some clear road. And they did!

2008-12-25T10:30:00.000-08:00

The only other picture I have of Tay on Christmas. She was so sick. She slept almost all day.

Christmas Eve

2008-12-24T09:44:00.000-08:00

We had a great Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve and morning at my parents and spend the rest of Christmas morning and day at Jon's. It was fun to spend time with family and friends.

This is a picture of Jon and the girls on Christmas Eve. They were looking for rudolph's red nose in the sky. It was cute!

These two pics are of Santa on Christmas Eve. He comes around to every house on Christmas Eve in Leamington. Rylee was so excited looking at him out the window but as soon as he stepped in the door, she was gone. The first picture is of her hiding in the kitchen so Santa couldn't see her. She was watching Kelly's little boy Boston sit on his lap. He was definitely not afraid!

I love this picture. Rylee is telling Taylor to stay out of the tree. I think her face is hilarious!

My Baby is Walking!!!

2008-12-21T22:55:00.000-08:00

I cannot believe she is walking already. It makes them seem like they aren't babies anymore. She is such a sweetie though. She likes to follow Rylee everywhere she goes.

A few random ones....

2008-12-21T22:40:00.000-08:00

Rylee was in the primary christmas program. She and her little Sunbeam class were sheep. Ry was a cute little sheep. I was very surprised she sat up there and sang after a very tramatic dance recital this month where she stood on the stage with her hands over her face and her teacher had to carry her off stage. Anyways, she did so good except she wouldn't stop picking her nose!!!! WOW!! It is a nervous thing thing she does and it doesn't look so great but we were proud of her for standing up there and singing.
Dad and Ry in the snow building a fort.

We had the twelve days of Christmas done to us this year and one night they gave our girls matching pj's and I had to get a picture. They looked so cute.

Cousins!!! What else can I say! They love getting their pics taken. Especially the one in the middle!!

Catching Up!

2008-12-20T22:34:00.000-08:00

Well its been a little while since I caught us up. This last month has been crazy and fun! Jon has finished student teaching and is has been substituting the whole month of December which has been nice. This month has been full of seeing family, Christmas parties, dance recitals, sickness (Taylor got tubes in ears and got salmonella poisoning in the same week!!), and not to mention the big jolly man himself! I finally have nothing to bribe Rylee with anymore. First it was her birthday and then santa and now nothing to bribe her into being good. Any ideas??? Taylor, is doing well and is WALKING!!! My baby is walking. She is just the sweetest little thing ever. Always sick, always something going on with her but she usually always has a smile on her face. Anyways, here are some pics I have taken recently.

Rylee is 4 !!!!!

2008-12-02T17:40:00.000-08:00

Rylee finally turned 4 this week. She had a great birthday as long as no one told her Happy Birthday. Family would call and talk to her for a second and then say Happy Birthday and as soon as they said those two words, she would set the phone down or hand it to me. She did not want any sort of attention on her for some reason. It was very weird. Then we had a little party that night and had her grandparents and aunt Heather there. She loved opening presents and having dinner but as soon as we lit the candles and started to sing, She started screaming!!! Face bright red and yelling "stop singing"!!!!!!! THen she started crying and we finally stopped singing. It was very very sad. As soon as we stopped, she wiped her eyes and went back to playing with her presents. I have a video but it is really sad so I didn't post it. But she had a fun birthday anyways. Thanks to her grandparents and aunt heather for the great gifts!!!!

Dr. Winters and her patient Taylor. She got a dr. kit from her grandma pace and we were her patient's all day long. Even my mom's dog was getting shots and her "blood plessure" taken, as she would say. She loved it so much!

Rylee holding her Dr. kit

Jon woke Rylee up at seven on her birthday and wanted her to open some presents. She said "Dad, maybe later I'm still tired." But he pulled her out of bed anyways. She was happy when she started opening her presents.

I am now a professional cake maker, HA HA HA!!

2008-12-02T08:00:00.000-08:00

I am totally embarassed to post this but I just had too. This is supposed to be a castle. In the book that I got it from, it REALLY looked like one. My mom and I began making this at four o clock in the afternoon and finished at midnight. WHY????? Well, because when I finished, it was leaning bad!! So we cut off some pieces and rearranged to make it look better but it didn't. Everyone that looked at it laughed except my awesome dad who somehow managed to say it look great without even a grin on his face. Love ya dad! We made at least three batches of icing. I am stating right now : I WILL NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE MY CHILD A CAKE THAT IS NOT FLAT AGAIN. NEVER!!!!! IF IT IS A ONE LAYER CAKE WITH ONE LAYER OF ICING, IT WILL COME FROM A STORE! SORRY GIRLS! Oh well, it is a picture to laugh at I guess. Thanks mom for standing for eight hours straight to make this cake that looks more like a church than a castle, even though you were sick.

A Visit With Santa!

2008-12-01T17:19:00.000-08:00

Look who is SOOO excited to see Santa. Or maybe terrified is a better word. She was just fine standing right by him but when it came time for her to sit on his lap, then came the freak show. He was such a nice santa and was trying so hard but Rylee did not care. She liked burrying her face in my thigh better!

Taylor was a bit of an improvement from Rylee but she didn't like him too well either. What can I say, I was afraid of him too when I was little!

Waiting in line was a whole other story. Ry had a blast! Her and her cousins loved posing for me. (Especially Macie!) Man I love her poses. She's so funny!

Tay and I waiting in line.

Rylee's Santa Letter

2008-11-28T12:34:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa:

My name is Rylee Winters. I have been a good girl this year. Oh yeah and to the elves and Mrs. Claus and the Reindeer.

My sister Taylor wants a drum and a jungle set. I want a bike and a bike helmet. I don't want anything else. I will share the jungle set with Taylor. I want Mrs. Claus to bring it to me.

My cat Spirit wants a bone so she can play fetch. She wants the elves to bring it to her.

Rylee

(So this is what she wanted written down for her santa letter. Jon wrote it for her and we laughed and laughed forever. It was so dang cute!)

A Very Happy Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween this year!! My WHOLE family was down. That hasn't happened in, well, never! The kids were all able to go trick or treating together. We went to seven houses and they were done. Bummer for me cause I got no candy. Ha!

Taylor was a "crying pumpkin", and Rylee was a monkey and a princess. Kelly's twins were monkeys this year and when she found this out, she wanted to wear her last years monkey costume. So for the primary party she was a monkey and then a princess to go trick or treating.

So our family has never carved pumpkins. How bad are we. Well Jon was gone, of course, to a football game so I decided I would show Rylee by myself. Well the pumpkin was so small I was pathetic at carving it so grandpa stepped in. Even he had a hard time. It was one tough pumpkin.

My dad told her that you can eat pumpkin seeds so she pulled a handful of disgusting pumpkin insides out and put it in her mouth. SHe was unpleasantly surprised. We couldn't help but laugh. SO as little kids are, by time my dad and I finished carving the pumpkin, she was asleep. I never even got a picture of what it turned out like. Oh well!!

Last weekend JOn and Rylee decided to put the tent up outside and sleep in my parents backyard. INSANE!!!! It was so cold! I didn't think RYlee would last through the night. I went out the next morning at like nine o clock and this is what I found. I don't know how she was STILL sleeping at nine o clock in the morning. That is NOT like Rylee!!! It was cute though, they had a blast.

We went to the canyon for a little picnic with Jon's parents and sister. The leaves were so pretty and it was fun. Both my girls actually rode on grandpa's four wheeler.

I learned how to make this little Tutu at a super saturday I went to and thought they were so adorable. Ry wasn't too happy that I wanted a picture of her in it. Oh well!

My little Taylor bug!

2008-10-27T09:20:00.000-07:00

She looked so sweet sleeping I had to get a picture

Taylor is just getting everywhere. She is walking along things and crawling under things. It is so funny. One day she crawled under this chair and got stuck. She thought it was fun for a minute. Then she got ticked off. Rylee was having fun with her under there too!

Taylor and Grandpa Winters at the canyon. The four wheeler ride actually put her to sleep.

My happy little girl!

Hello Again!!!!

2008-10-04T22:07:00.000-07:00

Ok so I am finally blogging again after a month or so. I just am not getting pics like I should be and don't have the computer to do it so what I have are random pics but my girls are growing up before my eyes. We are having a good experience down here in Delta. (Well, Leamington). Jon will be finished up November 20th and we are hoping that there will be some jobs open somewhere. Jon is absolutely loving student teaching and coaching. Anyways, here's a few pics of what has been happening in our little boring life;)

We were able to go Cedar City and visit Meladie and her girls (oh and her little boy), wow, that is weird to get used to Mel! Anyways, it was a blast. When the girls get together, it is insane. Never a dull moment. After 24 hours or less, arguing or just Rylee's crazy tantrums start up and it gets insane. Like when Brooklyn wouldn't give Rylee the rock she wanted so Rylee decided she needed a rock thrown at her head. Wow my daughter is a real treat!!! Anyways, just a few pics of Em's and my girls. I really only got these pics down there. Em's is always up for getting her picture taken. She is a cutie. Thanks Mel for letting us come and to Chad for watching all their girls and mine so we could go to a chick flick!!!!!

Taylor and Mommy

This is a picture of Rylee on her first day of pre-school. She could not stop grinning. (Well, until we got there anyways, then she didn't want me out of her sight). She was so hyper I couldn't even get a picture of her with just a normal smile. She was excited. She does really well now in preschool and counts the days til it comes again.

Taylor is just mesmorized by Rylee. Everything Rylee does is funny to her. It is very cute. Now that she is crawling she follows Rylee everywhere! If Rylee goes outside, Taylor crawls to the door and pulls herself up and waits for someone to see her so she can go outside too.

Tay is growing up!

2008-10-03T22:14:00.000-07:00

Taylor has been crawling for a little over a month now, but I hadn't posted anything so I thought I would put a clip of her. She is so funny.

Taylor has quite the little personality. She is really funny when she is happy and smiles at everyone in site. But when she is mad, you can seriously hear her from a long ways away. We sleep down in my parents basement in a bedroom in the back and when I put her down for a nap, I don't even need the monitor to hear her when she wakes up. She screams so loud!!! She is hilarious!

Sunday Silliness!!

2008-10-02T23:10:00.000-07:00

We were outside on Sunday and I decided to get my camera out cause the girls were just being funny. I got Ry to pose for me a couple times but she just won't sit still.

This is the newest member of our family. A black kitten names "Spirit". Weird, I know. Out neighbors had kittens and every second of the day Rylee wanted to go and play with them. It drove me so out of my mind that I actually let her get a cat. I MUST HAVE REALLY BEEN OUT OF MY MIND!!!! Rylee loves it and is good to it so I guess its fine. (Recognize this kitten Suz!)

Trying to get Tay bug to pose but she just wanted to eat the leaves as usual!!

Update

2008-08-25T07:22:00.000-07:00

So I haven't posted in over a month and still not much is going on. We moved to Leamington at the end of July but Jon stayed in Cedar to work and save up some money. He finally got here last Wednesday and it has been so wonderful!!!! It has been a really hard past year with him trying to finish up school and work two jobs. Today is his first day student teaching and he was so nervous but looked very handsome. I hope it will be a good experience for him. We are starting a little pre-school with some ladies in Leamington which will be a very good experience for Rylee. She is so unbelievably shy that she really needs to be around kids. It will be good for her. Taylor is getting big and doing the "army crawl". It is nice but not all at the same time. She is happier cause she can move but she is trying to eat everything on the floor. Its fun though. I'm just hanging out at my mom's taking care of the girls so nothing new for me. We are looking forward to these next six months or so to see what happens with us and where we go. Hopefully things will work out!!!

Vacation at Zion Ponderosa

2008-08-08T08:04:00.000-07:00

The pool at Zion Ponderosa was the funnest ever! It was a two tiered pool. The top was pretty shallow and had a little rock slide for kids. The bottom was deep and had a big rock slide. It was so much fun! Jon took Taylor down the small one a few times and Rylee loved it.
Taylor, Jon, and Marcus in the lower pool.

Rylee loved the hot tub more than the pool. I could not get her to look at me for pics. She has been funny about that lately but she loved it!

2008-08-07T08:19:00.000-07:00

Ry saw my mom trying to get a picture and was telling her to stop. It was funny!

My girls did so good camping. The camp spots were very nice and awesome individual showers and big huge clean bathrooms. That was a huge plus for us!

2008-08-06T08:29:00.000-07:00

I just took this picture for fun. I HAVE to recommend this place to anyone who likes camping and outdoors. There are so many things to do. Swimming, a cool zip line, rock walls, paintballing, archery, four wheeling tracks for little kids and adults, horse riding, hay wagon rides, sand volleyball, tennis, playground for kids. A lot of the stuff costs money but we had an absolute blast. There is even a nice restaurant and a buffet that is pretty cheap there. Totally recommend it!!!! PLUS, hardly ANY bugs!!!!!!!!!
I just had to put this picture of Taylor cause She looks so happy. She is funny. She is moving like crazy.

Hooray!! He is home!!

2008-08-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

My brother Marcus got home on the 24th of July. It was so great to see him again!
My parents and Marcus. Rylee was so excited to see him but as soon as he got off the plane she was terrified of him. She still, to this day, has not said one word to him. She wants to talk to him she says and as soon as he walks out of the room she starts talking about him but she will NOT talk to him. It's sad. I hope someday she will cause they would have a blast!

So long internet:(

2008-07-14T08:59:00.000-07:00

Well I am saying goodbye to my internet tonight. We are cancelling it since we are moving in a few weeks. I am so sad because my blog addiction is, well, probably not going to be an addiction any more. I will only be able to update every so often. So I am sad that I can't look at blogs every day but thanks everyone for letting me look at yours and I hope that I can update mine often. For those who don't know, we are moving July 31 up to Delta Jon will be doing his student teaching there. After he is done with that in November, we will start applying and see where we will end up. Anyways, so long and hope to be able to still keep in touch with everyone!

The Fourth of July!

2008-07-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

So the only pics I got this year were at the parade and Rylee was so dang onry!!! She would not let me take pictures of her so these were the best I got. She did like getting the candy though.
Taylor got to wear fourth of July clothes and Rylee didn't because her retarded mom forgot shorts. I was so sad!! I thought they would look so cute and patriotic but not Rylee. I'm terrible!
The best part of the parade was Rylee getting an Otter Pop. Well dad got it for her. She didn't wait for them to throw em, she ran out to the car and got it. It was cute.

2008-07-03T20:59:00.000-07:00

So we kicked off the Fourth of July weekend with good ol POISON!! It was a blast! I don't think we could hear all the way home it was so loud. It was fun to see jon and his brother's getting down. I pretty much sat there and waited for "Every Rose has its Thorn". Pretty much the best song ever and the pretty much the only song of theirs I knew. It was really fun!
Jon's brothers Chad and Clint came with their wives, Meladie and Melissa.

2008-07-03T20:58:00.000-07:00

My crazy husband!

2008-07-03T20:57:00.001-07:00

This video is way short but I loved how they had fire and fireworks and all sorts of way cool things. It was the funnest concert ever. They are way good entertainers!

LaS VeGaS!

2008-06-30T20:59:00.000-07:00

We went to Vegas this last weekend to visit Kelly and her family. Marcus' girlfriend has never been and was wanting to go so her and my mom went and I decided to go along with them. It was a really fun time. It can get pretty interesting taking kids up on the strip. But oh well, it doesn't happen to often. We really missed Kara!!! She couldn't come and it would have been even better if she could have been there!

2008-06-30T20:55:00.000-07:00

We had a blast at the swimming pool Kel took us too. It was a community pool where one of her friends lives. It had this little kid pool with a this water fountain in the middle that you could stand in. It kept Rylee very entertained and Taylor loved it too.

Taylor was getting sprayed in the face like crazy and she didn't even care! It was cute!

2008-06-30T20:50:00.000-07:00

Ry and I had our picture taken in one of those little booths and then it drew it. It was pretty cool!
My mom, Kelly, Maria, me, and Gary. I think people seriously thought we were polygamists cause we were all just following Gary around with strollers and kids. Gary was taking this pic for us and this guy came up and was like "hey pop, get in the picture and why aren't all these kids in it?" It was funny.
Rylee and Maria in FAO Schwartz. Ry loved this store. There were so many toys she went crazy over them!
We went to dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. A lady came around and made balloon animals for the kids. They loved them. This restaurant was sooooo much fun! It was this huge rain forest with all these big animals that moved and made noises. It rained and thundered and everything. It was so much fun!!

2008-06-30T20:45:00.000-07:00

Rylee loved sun tanning. She thought she was so big laying out when Maria was. She wanted to be just like her.

Just some fun pics of the girls in Kelly's back yard.

2008-06-30T20:40:00.000-07:00

The Bellagio was my favorite. It always is. I love their flower garden but it was way different this time. It had a huge bird nest with big white baby birds and a huge willow railroad track with trains going around and an enormous train made out of leaves and flowers. It was very neat but different. But it was perfect for Rylee. She LOVES LOVES LOVES trains. We couldn't get her away.
Me and the girls by a water fountain at the Bellagio.

Camping and.....Well sorta fishing trip!

2008-06-21T14:35:00.000-07:00

Tay loved laying on her quilt and looking around. Something she had definitely not seen before.

Jon has been dying to go camping and fishing. We have not been at all this summer which is unusual for him. So we decided to take our little family camping and fishing. We just went up to Duck Creek. Our girls did so well. Rylee abolutely loved it. The fishing was a lot different than daddy thought it would be. Jon thought that by the way Rylee was talking about fishing, she would do so well and that it would be his regular ol' fishing but he couldn't have been more wrong. Ry just wanted to throw rocks in the water and she didn't want real bait on her pole, just the rubber fish that came with the pole. So when she went to cast it out, it got stuck on a rock and that Rylee attitude that we all know came right on out. She started screaming at the top of her lungs and threw her pole down the shore and went running. Pretty sure it scared all the fish away for the other people fishing, that is probably why they were glaring at us. Ha ha. It was a fun time though!

2008-06-21T14:30:00.000-07:00

Mommy and "T"
Dad and Ry cooking hot dogs.
Rylee sat in this position on this rock for a good couple hours. Here is the reason why......
This isn't just a chipmunk. First it was Alvin the chipmunk, but it ended up being Simon. She kept telling Jon she wanted to pick it up and he told her it would bite her and she said "But Simon doesn't bite on the movie dad" This little rodent was the highlight of Rylee's trip. Mom and dad loved him too because he kept her entertained while we loaded up the car. We'll miss you Simon! ha ha

2008-06-21T14:25:00.000-07:00

This is a video of Rylee and Simon. She threw out pretzels and watched him come get them all morning. These little animals sure aren't afraid to get close to people when they want food!

2008-06-21T14:20:00.000-07:00

Rylee was so excited about the whole fire thing. She always thought there needed to be new wood on the fire and pretty soon we noticed that she had used up all our firewood. So at the crack of dawn we went to buy a bundle of wood from the camp host's. Thank goodness for the camp host eh?

2008-06-13T10:57:00.001-07:00

Jon made up this little game at the pool the other day. He was calling it "the boat". Ry absolutely loved it. He is the best dad to our girls. The both light up whenever he gets home. Rylee is practically waiting in her swimming suit the minute he walks in the door.

YEAH! Pool Weather!

2008-06-13T10:57:00.000-07:00

Rylee loves the pool! She would stay all day if she could!
Kissy Face
Tay actually loves the water too. Just like her sister!
Daddy and the girls. Just after I took this picture, Rylee head bunted Taylor and she went bizerk!!! So much for the sweet big sister eh!

Summer Games opening ceremonies

2008-06-13T10:56:00.001-07:00

So this is basically why we bought tickets, is to see the mascots, especially the crazy jazz bear! He was insane this year. But you should have seen, not Rylee, but Jon when we saw Cosmo, the BYU cougar. Jon said he had to get a pic of Rylee and Cosmo but I KNOW he wanted one. I guarantee he was thinking... Please let that be Bronco Mendenhall under that cougar costume!
The Salt Lake Bee
So Rylee loves her dad! There are never pics of me with Rylee because she always wants her dad. That's ok cause Jon loves it. They are little buds!
Rylee was so excited the whole day for the fireworks, but little did we know that Taylor would love them too. She sat like this the whole time and watched every firework. She loved it!

2008-06-10T11:00:00.000-07:00

I thought this video was funny. Rylee loves making Tay laugh. But as kids usually are a little rough, I ended up having to shut the video off and saving Taylor.

8 Random Things About Erin Winters

2008-05-29T19:37:00.000-07:00

Ok so I am the most boring person ever and have no interesting things about me but oh well, here goes.....

1. I LOVE being a mom more than anything in this world! I love having two beautiful little girls who wake up in the morning looking for their mom to give her a big smile and a hug!!!! Its the best feeling in the world.

2. I eat frozen peas!!!! Sounds disgusting I know, but it is something I picked up from my mom and guess what, Rylee only wants peas frozen, she doesn't want them cooked. Yeah it must be genetic. Ha Ha

3. In high school, my girlfriends used to call me Er-hole (Jenna, Suz, and Cassa). My mom absolutely hated it because, of course, she thought, it sounded disgusting. What is even better is we called my friend Cassa, Cas-hole! How funny is that. Oh man, I miss those days with the girls. You guys were the best!!!!

4. I get POST PARDOM depression after I have my babies. It is the most scary, out of control, crazy feeling mental state I have ever been in. It is by far the most difficult thing I have been through in my entire life!!!!!! It is a hard thing to explain or understand unless you have been through it. I am just getting through it again after my second baby and am feeling great again but it took a long time to feel normal. ( I'm lucky to have a good family to help take care of me and my kids. Don't know what I would have done without Meladie this time around. Thanks Mel, I will never forget it!)

5. I think I would die if there were no more mashed potatoes, or any side dish consisting of potatoes, left in this world! I cannot eat a meal without a side. I would rather have a bowl of mashed potatoes and no meat. I could never in my life go on a high protein diet because I could not live without carbs!!! Ok this tag is making me look like a terrible person. Oh well!!

6. My biggest pet peeve is people that chew on ICE!!! Kara and Mom, I am talking to you... Ha ha. I cannot stand that crunching sound. Kara and my mom could tell you how many dirty looks they got throughout their lives when they chewed on ice. I think they did it to annoy me purpously. J/k Kara, I love ya! But its ok if I chew ice cause I can't tell how bad it sounds. WOw I am pathetic.

7. I am hopelessly addicted to GREY'S ANATOMY!! I kept thinking I could live without it during the writers strike but oh no! I cannot! Jon will walk in and start laughing at me cause I am watching a romantic part with a huge grin on my face. He just cracks up but what can I do.... Derek and Meredith are together again!!!!!!!!

8. Last but not least.... I am a really shy person and don't go out of my way to talk to people I don't know. IT makes me come across as not a very friendly person, but if people talk to me I am nice, I promise.

Well this was fun but made me look really bad, but oh well, I definitely come with some quirks.

I don't know if anyone will want to do this or not but how bout: Jenny, Jamie, Suz, Kara, Kel, Heather, Michelle, and Jenna. You go girls!!!!!!!

The "Fweakin" Carnival (as ry ry would say)

2008-05-17T12:52:00.000-07:00

Yeah that cotton candy better be good! We stood in line for at least an hour!

Loving the blow up tramp. We had to drag her out kicking and screaming.

Fun Pics!!!

2008-05-12T12:52:00.000-07:00

My sweet little Tay-bug!

So Rylee was begging me to let her push Taylor in her baby stroller one day. So with me standing next to her, I let her push her down the hall. She loved it and so did Tay. Dont worry it was a one time thing!
My little napping cuties!

Ok so this picture totally turned out too bright but I could not believe how blue Taylor's eyes looked. I just had to put it on here.

Pool Party

2008-05-10T12:52:00.000-07:00

It was our nephew Patricks 1st birthday and Heather had planned to go to the swimming pool but it just happened to be closed that day for cleaning. So we settled for swimmin at grandma's house which was a blast! Rylee would not let me take close up pics of her. See that cup in her hand, well it was thrown at the camera when I tried to get her to say cheese. OOOh she is lucky she didn't break the camera. Ha Ha
All the kids loved grandma's pool. Patrick's cousin's sure helped him get used to the water. He didn't like it at first but got used to it. Happy B day Patrick! We sure wish your daddy was there to celebrate with us!

Miss Potato Head

2008-04-19T11:36:00.000-07:00

If you can't tell what this is on their heads, it is a potato bag. I was feeding Taylor and Ry walked in with the bag on her head and one in her hand and said "here's Taylor's beanie". It was so freaking hilarious! So I had to take a picture. They kinda turned out blurry but I don't care. It probably will never happen again.

Visiting the grandparents!

2008-04-19T11:35:00.001-07:00

Rylee loves hanging with grandpa Pace. They are always chasing each other around. Usually Rylee ends up crying even though she totally eggs it on. Its pretty funny! We spend a lot of time home because Jon is gone so much with school and work and we get bored. I sound like a mean wife cause Jon works so much but we just figured it would work out better. Thank goodness Jon will be done soon cause it has been ROUGH!

Dad finally came after a long week of school and work and him and Rylee went over to the neighbors to jump on the tramp. Rylee loves it and most definitely loves her Daddy!
This is grandpa winters four wheeler. Rylee looks happy but we didn't take a picture of what she looked like as we tried to get her on it. She cried and screamed. She was still pretty skeptical sitting on it. She would not let me ride it cause she said "I would fall off." She is a worrier. I should mention the reason she is scared of four wheelers is cause grandma pace told her about grandpa pace's accident that he had and had to ride in a helicopter to a hospital. Good job grandma pace! ha ha!

My precious girls!

2008-04-19T11:35:00.000-07:00

This is little Taylor just out of the bathtub. She absolutely loves the bath. It is the highlight of her day! Her towel is humongous on her, I love it!
Rylee and Taylor had just gotten out of the bath and Taylor was in her crib. Rylee decided she would go get in the crib too. She loves Tay and always gives her hugs and kisses but sometimes I think she might strangle her cause she squeezes her so tight. Its kinda scary and Taylor HATES it. But how do you tell the big sister she can't hug or kiss her baby sister?

Rylee's First Bowling Day Ever!!

2008-03-29T17:05:00.000-07:00

Rylee didn't know that you don't run down the lane. She tried to chase the ball. She was pretty sad when she fell!

2008-03-29T17:04:00.000-07:00

Dad had to help me roll the ball down the lane first, but then I got the hang of it. It took about five minutes for the ball to get down the lane .

Rylee saw these boots and just had to have them. We took her outside to a big puddle to show her how to use them. She loves them! She wears them everywhere. Wish it would rain!
