Flips

Danniqa decided she wanted to do gymnastics again. She started out and they put her in a younger group. But she is doing so well that this week she got moved up to Little Flippers. She is enjoying it for now.

Danniqa's Room

With Baby on the way our home is changing a little. Danniqa is moving into another room and she is very excited. I asked her how she wanted to decorate it and she told me she wanted an under the sea room. Well.....we can't paint our walls. But lucky for us there is vinyl. Danniqa had fun deciding where all the little critters would go and putting them on. Here is her in the process and the finished project. At least one wall.

Isn't she getting so big!!?! We are trying to find some under the sea fabric to put on the other wall. Vicki said you can put it on with Liquid starch and then it peels right off.

Updates

There is updates to come. I have pictures and things that we have done. However, I just wanted to write down a cute thing that my sweet husband did tonight.

We went to the Jazz game and then the snow came. I had on just my thin, flat ballet slipper shoes. So as we got to the car there was a larger area that I was going to have to cross in deep snow. So my sweet husband in his sneakers used his foot to swipe clean a path for me so that my toes wouldn't be freezing and snow covered. He did the same thing for me when we got home and I had to walk from the carport to the house. How sweet and good is my hubby! I love him and am so grateful for the things he does for me!

PS. Thanks Dad for the tickets to the game.

2 years

Two years ago tomorrow Kevin and I went on our first date. :) Here is what I blogged about it. Don't laugh to much...or do :)


"So I signed up for Eh*rm0ny and had my first date from it last week. Sorry I didn't blog sooner but I went on vacation. So he was a super sweet guy. In our emails beforehand he had asked a lot of my favorites. So he showed up at the door with gerber daisies....my favorite flowers. He opened all the doors for me and led me in the rooms etx. He was a perfect gentleman. It was really great. But I am not sure what I think....so I don't know whether I should go out with him again or not. I haven't decided. So we went out to dinner and then a movie, he took me to Bride Wars, definitely trying to win points. Then as we were leaving the movie he rubbed his eye and lost his contact. He found it for a second and then lost it again. It wasn't even like I could really assist him in looking for it because it fell into his lap. AWKWARD! so then he couldn't really see and was trying to drive. So I told him I would run him home so he could get his glasses and then he could drive me home. He finally agreed cause he couldn't see. SO I ended up driving him home to Bountiful and then he drove me back. So it was kind of humorous. He wanted to kiss me at least I think so, but I wasn't there so he kissed me ont the forehead. He was a super nice guy and I had a good time but I don't know that I feel it. Oh the joys.....nice guy, great date, not really sure. So I think I am done....dang."


Luckily my roommates and friends said give it another try and I did. He is an amazing man who I am eternally grateful to have in my life.

PS when I was on my trip for the week he called and text messaged me. Later I figured out that I was just freaked out because he was so good and nice and I didn't know what to do with a guy being so nice to me. Now I love it and tell him all the time how grateful I am for him and how lucky I feel.

Movements

So I think I have been feeling Baby Girl move for a little over a week but I didn't want to say definitely she was moving because I was afraid it was just gas. But definitely over the last 3 days I have been feeling her move. And tonight I was downstairs and kev was upstairs and she was moving all around. I had stuck my hand on my stomach and I could swear I could feel it on my hand. So being lazy and Kevin being two floors above me I called him on the phone and told him to come downstairs and see if he could feel her. And he was sitting there for a minute and I looked at him and I felt her move and saw his face change at the same time. I asked him did you feel that, His answer was "I think so." I told him his face had said otherwise. Then he started walking up the stairs and I heard him say something. I asked what did you say. His response was "I was just giggling." Oh how I love my husband and this little baby girl. It was fun to see how excited he was and fun to have him feel her. :)

Games

So Danniqa went downstairs to play Barbies but then she came upstairs and wanted Dad and I to both come downstairs. She wanted to play games. So we played Chutes and Ladders and then Candy Land. During the first game of Candy land Danniqa wasn't doing great and so Kevin and I thought she wasn't paying attention and so we started to on occasion move backward. So Danniqa won. Then we played again. And Danniqa was WAY ahead of us. And then she started moving herself backward so she wasn't so far ahead of us. We started laughing! It was so cute. And I just love that she wanted to play games with us instead of doing other things. I love it!
