Veronica a.k.a Roni

This little stink is growing like a weed. She is a busy body, loves to follow her sisters wherever they go and she hates everyone but mom...most of the time. She is finally starting to grow out of being clingy and I love it. So this is a post of the past year of Roni growing.
 
 Love the snuggles
 


 She loved her toes and would rather suck on them then her fingers. She grew out of it for the most part unless they are super disgusting and then she likes them again.

 My girls love to play with the laundry baskets. And Carm was having a middle child moment and decided to trap her little sister. She was pretty proud of herself. And Roni only liked it the first time.



 She loves the stairs especially if others are going up them. It didn't take her long to figure out how to go up and down.
 You can't leave a door open at all. She loves to crawl around outside and she will escape if you aren't quick enough to shut the doors.
 She finally loves water
 This was the best thing I ever found. She loves to sit right with us when we are camping and fishing.
 This is the most popular face she pulls.
 The car of choice. She will ride it down the drive way by herself and she laughs the whole way while picking her feet off the ground. Luckily our driveway's slope if very minimal
 Future ROCKSTAR!!!
 The most current place to sit is on the hearth. The first time she climbed up she thought she was so big. And the doll had to be their with her. She doesn't like her dolls, she usually is dragging one of Tay's or Carm's around.
 We kept with the frozen theme for Halloween. The girls decided she needed to be olaf. It was either that or one of the trolls.

Her current stats from when she turned one are  Weight:  18.81 lbs  15%  Height: 28.5 inches 31%. She is a mama's girl and is just starting to like other people to hold her. She loves to eat bread and graham crackers and tomatoes. She loves water and milk and can shaker her head no. She doesn't like to have her diaper changed and when I am not fast enough she is off crawling bare bummed around the house and she thinks its hilarious. She loves bath time and loves to climb on everything. She is always on the move.

Carmindy's 4th Birthday.

Carm turned 4 at the end of October. Her current stats are Weight: 36.12 lbs and is 3ft 4 inches tall.
 
Carm loves to dance, play dress- up, follow around Taylee and play with her friends. Her favorite food is pizza and Chick-fil-a.
She loves to learn and color pictures, on the walls, chairs and anywhere else she thinks needs more color.





Carmindy Update.

Carmy is a ham. She is so outgoing and is always saying and doing funny things. She keeps us on our toes all the time. She is sneaky and is really learning what her limits are, and what will get her in big trouble.
 She loves Roni. She loves to play with her. She is also a big helper. Sometimes too big, but Roni loves the attention.
 She is learning to ride a bike. Soon it won't have training wheels. But with the weather turning she doesn't ride very much. Its more about the scooter.
 She finally got to start dancing in the spring. She is in her 2nd season and she loves it. She is dancing Hip Hop and is currently in the same class as Taylee. She has rhythm and loves to dance and sing.
 She loves camping as well. She loves to be out with family and being busy. She had fun this year being able to run around and have fun in nature.
She also had swimming lessons. She is getting better and isn't afraid of the water. She doesn't like the boy teachers at all. Luckily she had a girl one and she seemed ok with that.

She may look like me but she had her daddy's personality!!


We were at Manti Pool with my mom over the summer. She loves this swimming suit and she had grandma do her hair, complete with a ribbon. Add the sun glasses. Too bad  Halloween if in October. I would have dressed her like Wendy Peffercorn this year.

 When Taylee does something. She usually follows suit. She had to have her hair cut off as well. Since hers wasn't very long we just trimmed it up.

 This is how we play dress up some days. Yes she is Minnie-Bat or whatever name you want to give her. She loves to play dress up and is constantly changing her outfit. Luckily its just the dress up changing and not all the clothes in her closet.
 She loves to help in the kitchen. At least she is getting tall enough to help do things now.
 She loves to "Fly", if I lay down on the floor its the first thing she asks. And then she wants her picture taken.
 For Halloween this year she wanted to be Anna from Frozen. At least the girls weren't fighting over one character. And now she has another dress up to play with.
Her new favorite hiding/play place. Under the crib. Even the dog likes it!

All About Taylee

Taylee is growing up so fast. I can't believe that she is a 2nd grader. She has more homework now than I ever remember having EVER!! She is so smart and is learning that working hard in school pays off. She doesn't like homework and we struggle working through it but when she sees the really good grade she likes that.
 
 
She still loves to play with us at home even though she has her friends not. My girls love to "Fly"!!
 
 Last winter was crazy down her in Sunny St. George. In RARELY snows and we got a bunch. Taylee decided to build a snowman. She didn't know how but her efforts paid off and she got a little one in the back yard. It didn't last very long since the sun came out and melted the snow but she had fun in the moment.
 She love camping and being outdoors. As long as there isn't a port-a-potty. We only camped a few times over the summer but she loved it.
She also loves to swim. She is still learning and asks all the time when her next lessons are. The college does a great job and she loves going there.

 She also started loosing her teeth. To date she has only lost 4, and they take FOREVER to grow back in. She get so excited for the Tooth Fairy to come. (We are horrible at it, and often forget)
She is my little mini-me.


 I told her that if she cut her hair off so would I. We both had super long hair. I did it first and it didn't take long before she wanted hers done. It made her look so grown up.

 She is quite the fisher girl. We go quite often and sometimes she is the only one to catch anything. She has yet to touch them but she loves it. Most of the time Grady is still trying to set  up his own pole while she is reeling in another fish.
 Her first day of second grade. She loves to learn and loves school. She gets super sad and upset if she has to miss it.
Her sisters love her. They still fight all the time but who doesn't. Roni thinks she is pretty funny and Taylee was the first one to make her laugh. 
This year for Halloween Taylee decided to be Elsa from the movie Frozen. She loves that movie.


 

Major Slacker Mom

I have been such a slacker. I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. I don't have any excuses...well I have 3 their names are Taylee, Carmindy and Veronica. But its not an excuse so now I have get to play catch-up. So hang tight while I eat more Halloween candy and wrap my brain around where to start. I also have to download pictures from my phone so this could take a while.

The girls are growning up so fast. Taylee is busy with school, dance and playing with her friends. She now has two girls her age that live right by us, so they are always going between houses. I love that she has friends and I fear for her school teacher because they are in the same class. Luckily they don't sit real close to each other!!

Carmindy is busy as well just not as much, she goes to a Joy/Preschool that me and a neighbor do for our two kids. Since either one won't start kindergarten for another year, it gives them something to do and they have fun. She is also in dance and she is attending Taylee's class for the fall season since no other kids her age signed up for the specific age group class. She loves it. She also is busy with friends. Taylee's two best friends happen to have two little sisters Carm's age. It makes playing a lot easier now since she has friends her own age that can come play when their older sisters do.

Veronica is growing like a weed. She is a talker. Even though we can't understand her she will talk your ear off. She loves to pretend to talk on the phone. She also loves to eat and chase her sisters all day. She has mastered going up and down stairs and is almost walking.

Grady and I are here, enjoying the girls and laughing when they are silly, which is quite often.

Stay tuned the surge of pictures and posts will come soon!!

Roni at 2 months!

Our littlest munchkin is growing like a weed. She has the biggest smile and yes she has dimples!! She isn't laughing yet but you can tell she is thinking about it. She is starting to scoot on her backside and is rubbing off all the hair on her head. Sad times! She is mostly sleeping through the night. She will go down around 9-9:30 and not wake up until 4 or 5 sometimes later. Its nice.


She has just recently started smiling and it shows in her eyes. She loves her sisters and they are always telling me when she is crying and trying to help change diapers and help give her a bottle. She is definitely loved in this house.
 
 
Veronica's Stats
Weight 12.06 lbs  78%

Carmindy is the BIG 3!!!

That is now her number as she says. She is 3 and everytime someone says that number or she sees it she will tell you, "that's my number!"
If you ask her what her name is she will tell you Carmindy "Ballerina" Whitlock. She is obsessed with being a ballerina.
 She is also a little stink and is such a sassy pants. If you can't tell by the pictures she is all over this little miss attitude thing. But she makes us laugh all the time by what she says and the things she does.
 She loves to follow Taylee around and do what she does. That's where the dancing comes in. She is also the cause of a lot of the drama that goes on at our house.

We love this little stink more and more everyday. She is such an amazing big sister and she loves Veronica a lot...sometimes more than enough. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Carmindy 3 year stats:
Weight 31.6 lbs  59%
Height 38 inches 71%
