Tiya Can Crawl!

We went to get Tiya's pictures taken, here are some of them!

Tiya has been crawling for about 2 weeks. She was really sloppy at first, but now she's a lot better. We have to watch her every second now!

Her favorite thing to do is get into the garbage, including sucking on the bag from the side. I don't see how that could be fun..She can get to it well from her walker. Also she loves to watch the dogs and grab at them. she will laugh and laugh at kinzie, it's so cute.

The bottom picture is what tiya first started to do before crawling, which were basically push ups. I tried to load a video of her crawling, but we just got this computer and it is not letting me load videos here. maybe we will post one next time.

As for me and dain... I am just working still, same days and everything. Dain's last day at work is today and Monday he will be working at Scaddy's!!!!!!!

Tiya enjoyed the boats too


Dain got our white four wheeler stuck in the mud at my parents cabin. He was riding with my niece brittany when they got stuck in the mud. My brother trevor had to go rescue them and they were all covered head to toe in mud.


Tiya likes her new pool we bought for her to swim in. So much Summer fun, i don't want it to end!

Update of our family..

No Tiya is not crawling yet, but she 's close. Right now she falls on her face after being in this position for too long. I am surprised by her and how fast she is growing. It seems like every week she is learning something new! It's exciting to see how she learns and watching her try new things. Especially new foods. When she tries them for the first time she gags and makes the funniest faces, then the next time the eats it she can't get enough of it!
One thing she really loves is to drink out of the glass you are drinking out of- no matter what is in it. Ask brenda, Tiya would not give her glass of ginger ale back at dinner the other night. It was so funny and adorable. She is definitely developing her own personality. She can be so stubborn already and i can imagine she will only get more opinionated and more stubborn. That's okay it keeps things interesting.
Dain is still working at fusion and I am working in two different dental offices but my schedule is different every week. usually i work every wednesday and some mondays. I am still looking for more hours so me and dain can start working on our house and pay off bills. The office i work in on mondays every once in a while is where i would love to work full time. This doctor i used to work with before i went to school and he just started his own practice so he doesn't have enough patients for me to work more than a couple of mondays right now but he is trying to fill his schedule because he wants me to work more too. Hopefully this will happen soon.
Tiya is growing up so fast that me and dain would rather not work so we don't miss a thing!
We are so excited to take her to flamming george, which is coming up soon. I can't wait to show off her fun bikini!

Tiya got her ears pierced today!

She did great! I felt bad that she cried even if it was just for a few minutes.
She doesn't even notice them.

Tiya almost 6 mos

Tiya is almost 6 months old so we are letting her try some new foods. As you can see in the Video she hates Applesauce. But its still funny to try to feed it to her. The gags and noises she makes are very funny. She is such a good girl still, we are lucky.

Easter

I was so excited to buy this adorable bikini for her i couldn't wait to try it on her. the glasses are way too big. I can't wait to take her swimming!!

Dain thought it would be funny to take a picture of tiya when she was upset. She's to the point that she always needs to be held. It's funny sometimes we just laugh at her.

The dogs love to be by tiya.

I love this hat on her. it's so cute!

Finally warm weather.

We took Tiya for a walk in her stroller and she loved it. She cried when we took her out.

Tiya, gemma, and cooper

Levi and amanda stayed at our house for part of the weekend. The kids had fun with eachother. Cooper is so cute, he talks and talks and talks.

Dain and Alyse

In case any of you are wondering what me and dain are up to... Dain is working non stop and it seems like he is almost always busy at work. This is great since people are getting laid off.
He played in a indoor flag football league and wednesday was their championship game. They lost by a lot and dain says it's because pierce was not there because he's sick.
I am finishing up with school...only 1 and 1/2 months left yeah! I'm getting ready for my board exams! My first one is march 24th! it consists of 350 questions and i will start at 8 am and end at 5pm..yikes. I can't wait to be done with it tho. The other three exams are the first week of may.
Hope everyone is well. Beckham get well soon!!! we love you!!

More Tiya pictures

I put Tiya on her stomach today to see if she could roll over with help. She does not like to be on her stomach on the floor. She rolled over by herself a couple of times, i could not believe it. Ofcourse I had to position her on her side a little with her arm under her so she could do it, but it's so cute. Don't mind raider and his weird noises in the background, he does that when he is playing with kinzie..

Cute little Tiya

I finally got Tiya to smile while taping her. We have tried several times but she doesnt like to cooperate. She has gotten so much bigger over the past 2 weeks. She also smiles and giggles quite a bit now. She keeps getting cuter. Very little crying just a lot of little talking noises. Yes i have to talk like a little girl to get her to smile, but thats the only thing that works.

Dain is blowing in tiya's face. This was so funny, but it doesn't look as funny in this video...

New pictures

It's been a while since we have blogged. Here are some new pictures of tiya. She is wearing a 3 month old outfit from kim and nathan so it's a little big because she is 2 months old. But i really wanted to put her in it, it's adorable!
