Bath Time with Baylee!

Harley and Baylee are so very fun! They play so well together and get so excited every time they see eachother! Every now and then, they get to have bath time together and they love it! The splashing gets bigger and better each time too! I love watching these two play together! I love them both so much! Its so much fun and we are so lucky to have such good friends across the street! And yeah I know, my poor pasty white daughter compared to Baylee! I'm afraid she was blessed beyond belief with her mommas whitey white skin! Oh well! She doesn't seem to mind quite yet!

Day At The Park With Dad

She wasn't so sure about touching the playground!

She loves the slide, even though you can't tell by the look on her face! But she loves just climbing around and walking around the playground.

Sometimes it scares me because she's kinda fearless! I once had her try to push off my lap to go down the slide because apparently I was taking too long! I think I'm in trouble!

Who can resist this beautiful little face! And yes, I'm talking about Harleys;) Even though Darren is pretty hot himself!

We love having dad home! We wish spring break happened every week! Oh yeah, and for all you up north, it was 70+ degrees today and was beautiful!

Harley Jeanne's 1st Birthday

Nicol Family Birthday Party Smith Family Birthday Party

Party at home with Gramma Sink and Dad







Harley turned 1 on March 5! Harley and I were able to head up to Salt Lake with Darren's cousin Krystal and were able to have two birthday parties (one with Dar's fam and one with mine that was a shared birthday party with her cousin Jake:). It was a lot of fun! Harley loves cake now so she definitely shares her moms and dads sweet tooth! She didn't get much of a nap before the party at Stacy's so she screamed a lot until we got her cake out, then she had a hay-day. It was so funny to see her dig in! When we got home Sunday, we had another little party so Darren could see her dig into a cake as well and had my Grandma and Aunt Sis come over. Nikki, Josh and Baylee came over a bit later to celebrate as well. So for a birthday that lasted 4 days, she was definitely spoiled by everyone! Thanks everyone for all the love and gifts! I can't believe how fast the year has gone by and she just gets cuter and cuter every day! And how lucky she is to be able to share her birthday time with 2 cousins! Jake turned 5 on March 6th and Shelby had her baby girl Peyton on March 6th as well! Congrats Shelby and Ryan she is so beautiful!

Harley is Walking!

We are so proud of our little big girl! She has been walking around the house all day today and been making awesome efforts for the past week or so! She awes me every day with how much she catches onto and learns. Things at our house are crazy with Darren at school all day and at work until 9pm, Harley is all over the place and not sleeping very well at night (we are still working on that), Harley is having surgery on her eye (tear duct) on Tuesday February 24th and all of the babies and weddings coming up its nuts! And yes, we are expecting a little boy July 11th :) We are very excited to have a little boy although, I still find myself looking at little girl stuff when I'm out and about! I don't know what I'm going to do with a little boy! But I'm very excited to find out! Hope everyone is doing well!

Ok so I couldn't help it either! I had to see:)

Family Pictures

So yes, I am finally updating my blog:) So much has been going on, I feel like things have just been a mad house lately! So here is a little update:
In September, we went up north for Darren's friends wedding. Darren came home that Sunday, but I stayed and got my tonsils taken out on the 24th. Sandy was so wonderful to take on the job of taking care of Harley while I was recovering and tending to my every need while I was whimpering in pain. Everything went well though and I feel fabulous! Harley and I flew home September 30th thanks to my wonderful in-laws for getting us the plane ticket:) We were definitely well taken care of! All the while, Darren was bachelorin' it up going to school and working. He said he missed us, but I'm not so sure about that ;) (just kidding!) He was definitely happy to get us home and Harley was so ecstatic to see her daddy at the airport that everyone around us was laughing and oohing and aaawing! It was so cute! Quite the daddy's girl I should say!
Well Sunday, we had our family pictures taken by one of the girls I visit teach. She is such a doll and did such a good job! I was so very pleased with how they turned out! Thanks Serena! You guys should check out her blog, she is so artistic! It's www.simplyserenityphotography.blogspot.com.
Harley is army crawling all over the place, sitting up, and is such an independant little thing- I wonder where she gets that from! She thinks she is such a big girl that its kind of sad:( She is so much fun though! She jabbers all the time and Darren swears that she says "hi-dad" (it really does sound like she's saying that!) but I'm not so sure she knows she's saying it!
This last week and a half, I've been working at the Kelly Services down here, helping them out with their new account, and can I tell you, I never thought it would be that hard to go back to work, and I knew it was only going to last not even 2 weeks and it has been so hard! Tomorrow is my last day yay!!! Harley has been so good when we leave her with our neighbors and Darren's cousin Krystal. I am so happy that she has been so good.
Darren is still working his little tail off with school and UPS. He is so wonderful! I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Rolling Over

So not much new at the Nicol House, except for the fact that Harley can roll over! She thinks she is such a big girl, but once she is rolled over, she gets mad after a bit because she can't move from there! She is so funny, she kicks her feet and I know she is trying to be mobile, just can't quite get it down. Soon enough though. She will be crawling before we know it. She's a pretty determined little girl so I know it won't be long! She is such a little busy bee, always wanting to know what is going on, fighting her naps so she doesn't miss a thing, and wants the attention to always be on her. What can you do though, she is so darned cute!
It was so much fun to be up north for the 24th of July. I miss being around everyone so much! But it's always good to get back to the norm, and my little missy was definitely ready! Yes, I know, in these pics she is wearing the headband that my dad HATES with a passion, but don't tell k! Its the only red headband she's got and she was wearing a red outfit! I'm in the process of looking for smaller flowers for some of the headbands I made for her (including this one) but I haven't had much luck. So let me know if you happen across any.
Darren is still working his little life away. I am so lucky to have such a hardworking husband. He is definitely great! And it is so fun to have his day's off together, just the 3 of us. Harley definitely loves her daddy!
I have been doing pretty good. Scentsy is slow, but I am working on that and have fun doing it. If anyone wants to do a party, let me know (I'll take any reason to head up north for a few days!) but there are some rewards for doing a party! Let me know if you're interested!
