ummm... the room is pink?

We finally got around to painting the new room... we don't know whose room it will be, Ayla's current room is so small it works much better as a nursery and in about a year it will be easier for the girls to share the new room... the pink room. I bought some fabric to do the bedding (whether it be crib bedding or twin bed quilts for both girls later on). The fabric was kind of an olive green with a rusty red poka dot in it, it's really cute kind of whimsical looking. I matched the paint sample to the red dot, so it was going to be a red room and then we were going to add white poka dots. Anyway, when we opened up the paint can it looked pink (as you can see), but at the store they painted on the sample and it dried the same color so we thought 'weird, but it obviously must dry to the darker red color cause it did on the sample.' No idea what happened but obviously it's pink now! It will be cute, it just won't match my fabric or the idea in my head, but I will have to post pictures when it's finished cause I'm sure it will turn out just fine!

Ayla loves to check on the room when we are upstairs... she's just as confussed about whose room it will be... her room is definately "AYA's ROOM" when you ask, but the pink room is "Tay?Aya's?" Then she'll explain and point to the walls where she painted, and where daddy painted and where mommy painted. I gave her a canvas to paint on at first and she liked it, we're going to hang it up in the room when it's finished, but then we decided she wouldn't hurt anything if she painted on the wall, and she just loved it, had a blast!!!

So Musically Inclined

This little girl loves all things music! She can't help but start to groove when she hears music. In the stores she will say 'hear it?' when he hear music and then she starts boppin'! Cracks me up! My ringtone right now is Matchbox Twenty "Let's See How Far We've Come" whenever that song comes on the radio she will ask me if I hear it and then say "Mommy's song." The other day was hillarious Tony and I were driving and the radio was down so low you really couldn't hear it, and from the back seat Ayla starts yelling "Hear it? Mommy's song!" so we turned it up and it was the first few seconds of "How Far We've Come." She is always allert and actually picks out words in random songs that are playing on the radio. She loves to play the guitar, and piano, and now we'll add the harmonica! These pictures were taken at the Goddard Christmas Party and she was just jammin' out on the harmonica! It helps that she saw Uncle Austin playing the harmonica just days before and he helped her practice! I loved that she dressed herself up all funky to go with her harmonica playing (no one else was dressed up). Funny girl!

The Lights at Temple Square

'Tis The Season

It's amazing to see how much Ayla has grown and changed over the last year. Watching her help her daddy put up the Christmas tree just made me remember watching the same thing last year, that doesn't seem so long ago. It's funny now, cause she always wants the lights on the tree on, and if they're not she says they are 'night-night.' Everytime we leave the house she says 'bye, Christmas tree, bye, bye' and waves to it. She is loving this Christmas season. She loves looking at all of the Christmas lights while we're driving. She says 'Aya's side' or 'mommy's side' depending on which side the lights are on. So cute, so fun!

32 Weeks

Today was our 32 week appointment. Everything still looks good. Our insurance is changing January 1st so I have to deliver at Ogden Regional Hospital instead of McKay Dee. I was a little sad about that cause that was a big reason we stayed in Ogden, but we still get to keep Dr Hartman and everyone I've talked to really likes Ogden Regional and some even like it better than McKay Dee... so it's good. The two hospitals are only like a block or two appart, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I had the hardest time figuring this ultrasound out! The doctor was teasing me cause I just couldn't see it! It's just the bottom part of her face, the chin, the lips and the nose. I finally figured it out. I don't know why this is the picture he printed us... he probably thought it was funny, but the rest of the time we could see her really well. We sat and watched her open and close her mouth and swallow for a few minutes... it was so cute and just plain amazing to watch!

Ayla gets so excited to see baby Tayvie on the tv!

It's TIme For Another Doodle Bug Catalog

These are the two layouts Doodlebug used Ayla in for this Catalog. I love that they use her! It's so fun to see these. They have the cutest stuff! Here's the link if you want to see them on their website: www.doodlebug.ws

Baby Gracie

Won't she be a wonderful big sister soon? By the way, the orange juice I opened this morning doesn't expire until February 4th!!! So I could very well be drinking the same OJ until baby Tayvie comes... I won't be, but I'm just saying! :)


So here we are in the way back machine again. I'm so behind, but I'm catching up here. Just after Thanksgiving Gracie was born, Tanner's little sister. We were lucky enough to be at the hospital when Tanner got to see her for the first time. I love his reaction. You can kind of see it in his face, so cute! What a cute boy... and baby girl... and Trina's nails are beautiful!
