Dantzel's been tagged

Name and meaning: Dantzel Park. We heard this name when we were just a few weeks prego. It was at the first state wide broadcast conference. It was Elder Nelsons wife's name. It hit both Brandon and I and we knew it was suppose to be our babies name if it was a girl. Thank goodness she came out a girl cause the name fits her well!

Age: 3

Nicknames: Sissy, Dantzel girl It used to be baby Dantzel but she has grown out of that one.

Favorite activities: Singing, painting, swimming, pretending to talk on the phone, just pretending anything and everything, coloring, dancing, riding her bike, jumping on the tramp, playing with friends, going to the park, watching movies

Favorite foods (snacks): Cheese any kind, pb & j sandwiches, Chocolate, fruit snacks, crackers, pasta, potatos

Least favorite foods: hum... raisins I can't really think of any

Favorite Music: HIGH SCHOOLS MUSICAL!!! (she can't wait for the 3rd one to come out! she is 3 mind you) she will listen to anything she LOVES music! :)

Favorite Toys: blocks, dolls, balls, barbies, trucks (just because her brother plays with them) she really isn't picky!

Favorite Book: My Furry Friends

Favorite item of clothing: She likes to wear pink! I am happy that Grandma Lynn works at a clothing store to get her lots of cute clothes. They are way cute colors too. Oh, she love to wear shoes with any kind of hill (teach um young) :)

What makes her happy: Playing with Daddy,Singing, Playing or should I say wrestling with her brother, watching High School Musical, watching her morning toons (cartoons).

What makes her sad: Not getting her way (sound like all 3 year olds?), when her brother is mean to her and won't share his toys

Dantzel is a fun little girl. We are so glad she is a part of our family!!!

We tag all our friends who have kids and want something different to blog about! :)

My little James

My little James is growing up fast. Ever since he was little he has been very good with his balance. I still can't believe he can do a full blown SOMERSAULT. I think it is so cute! I swear Dantzel didn't learn how to do this until she was like 2 1/2. Maybe I am just the proud Mom. You should see him, he will just play around in the family room doing somersaults until he gets dizzy. He is such a funny kid.

"Look mom, I'm on my rocking chair (again)"!

quick trip to slc

We always have fun when we go visit everyone in SLC. Thanks to all the family for coming and spending time with us. It was fun to just show up and surprise everyone. No, we really did call people when we were almost there. All but Grandma Park because we stay at her house. Thanks Grandma! We love to come stay with you. :)


my favorite picture is of the AFRICAN DAISY'S Aren't they amazing? Grandma and Grandpa always have the best yard to look at, play in and everything else in between. :)

Random things

This is what we have been up to the past week or so. My pictures are really boring. As you can tell, I have been in a camera slump. Sometimes I take a ton of pictures, others times I could care less about where my camera even is. This is the reason for not having fun posts to share with everyone. :) Hopefully next week will be better.

Babysitting kids

and...watching more kids
I watch these kids Wed-Friday and I have another little girls on Mondays. I am staying busy. It is a lot of work but very rewarding. :)

James bringing me 10 diapers when I asked for 1 (so cute)

baking apple pie

and Lemon Meringue pie

Bulldogs Football game and tailgate parties

This is a cute video of Dantzel on this very steep hill. Isn't she so cute!?!

Sorry, I didn't get a picture of us all eating our hot dogs. We were very lucky to have Dallas and Emery come along with us. It made the night way more fun with them. :)

We finally got new phones!!! I think we both had our other phones for over 4 years. Yes, you head me 4 good years. We still love our old phones. They treated us very well! No worries, we will keep them around just in case this new technology craps out on us. :)
