Randomness

Here are a couple of random pictures and stories about what's been going on with us (and by 'us' I mean Mylie) lately.

About a month ago we woke up to a very swollen eye (this picture was taken a few hours into the day and the swelling had gone down a bit). Turns out it was Periorbital Cellulitis, a bacterial infection in the surrounding tissues of the eye. If it's not treated quickly you have to have IV antibiotics. Thankfully, I was able to take her to the Dr. that day and she only had to have oral antibiotics and within a couple of days her eye no longer looked like she'd been in an alley fight.

We bought Mylie some "plastic grandma panties" when we introduced her to the potty. Don't let this picture fool you, she hates those things! When I put them on over her pants though, she has a good time. Sort of defeats the purpose but hey, who am I to judge?

I have a really cute little girl! I threw this picture in there just to brag.

This picture was actually taken a while ago when Tory and I took our girls to the Treehouse Museum. It cracks me up though because she just looks like she thinks this place is lame. I guess the music room wasn't cool enough for her!

Little Miss Attitude! Whenever Mylie 'talks' on the phone, she puts it up to her ear like that. I don't know where she picked that up from but it's so funny. A lot of the time I'll catch her 'talking' on the phone and pushing her baby around in it's stroller at the same time. She's such a little multi-tasker!

Out Smarted

Last week I discovered I had a problem...
This is how I tried to solve my problem...
As you can tell, my solution wasn't a very good one.
I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

Our Vacation

We've been back from our mini vacation for two weeks now and this is the first time I've had a minute to post about it! We had a blast in Arizona!! Our great friends Chad and Katie let us stay with them for most of it and we were able to do a lot of really fun things with them. Watch out....here come a lot of pictures!
Mylie was really excited to see Mallory and Ben and I think they were excited to see her too! They played so well together and they wore each other out!

Of course we also got to enjoy lots of sunshine while we were there! Mylie had tons of fun at the park by Chad and Katie's house. We took the kids to the park in the morning so they would be worn out and take really good naps before we went to the children's museum in Phoenix later that day. It worked very well!

The children's museum was one of the coolest things we did while we were there. In the art room they had a little wood house that they let the kids paint every single day. It was fun to watch Mylie with the paint. The activity was short lived though because of her overwhelming desire to eat the pretty paint. This is the only picture we got of it.

They had tons of pool noodles hung from the celling and you could just walk through them. I have to say, it was a little trippy but totally fun and such a cool idea!

This is a view of the first floor from the second floor. Mylie loved that big tunnel. She would have spent the entire day in there if I would have let her. It was hard for me though because I couldn't see her when she was crawling through and I'm kind of paranoid. I need to let loose a little!

They had a room there that was for kids 3 and under. That was my kind of room! It wasn't as packed as the rest of the place and the stuff they had in there was perfect for Mylie. She loved all the balls!

The next day we went to see the Easter Pageant at the Mesa temple. It rained all day but a few hours before the show it cleared up. It was still a little chilly (Arizona chilly, which is so not the same as Utah chilly!) so we were all bundled up waiting for the show to start. There were so many people there! We went about three hours early so we could be sure to get a seat. It was such a good pageant and I would recommend it to anyone who is in Mesa around Easter!

Easter Sunday we went to church with Chad and Katie and then we were off to Heber to visit Mike's Dad and Grandma. Heber is in the mountains of Arizona so it has weather a lot like Utah. It had snowed a few days before we came but it all melted before we got there so it was really nice. This is the only good picture I could get of Mylie in her Easter dress. I hope to take some better ones as soon as I get the time. This will have to do for now!

Grandpa Sam and Grandma Fraizer had a mini Easter egg hunt for Mylie while we were there. She had so much fun looking for the eggs!


By the last night of our vacation we were so tired and ready to come home!!

Thanks to Chad and Katie for letting us stay with them (I know it couldn't have been easy) and for showing us such a good time while we were there! We love you guys!!!!! Also, thanks to Grandpa Sam and Grandma Fraizer for the Easter egg hunt and the yummy dinner! It was so nice to see you guys again!!!
