Lily the mover!

So when people say don't hope for them to start crawling and walking because once they do chaos insues, oh they were all right! Lily can crawl with the best of them and she is so very fast! She knows exactly what mommy and daddy don't want her to get into and how to do it so that we don't notice at first. She loves to play with all of daddies computer things and thinks she is completely intitled to it. She knows how to turn of the computer and has done it multiple times so daddy had to put a heavy weight in front of it so that she can't get to it, only now she just plays with the weight... She tries to climb on anything and everything and in doing this falls over and bonks her head about ten times a day. But I guess she will only get better at everything and hopefully hurt herself less. Also Lily was blessed by daddy this last sunday and he did an amazing job, we were able to have only some family come due to bad weather althought more tried at risk to life and limb but were not able to make it so I will include some pictures from that day. Thankyou to the Arthurs for all their help and to everyone that made it to the church and our house for the party. I had a great night last night.....Branden gave me my christmas present early, a trip to a spa......I got to dress up in a fancy rob, get a massage that included very warm towels (never had that) and my very first facial, it was amazing. Each time after they did a step in my facial they wrapped a very warm towel around my face it was pure heaven. After the facial I had a free make up session which was neat because as most of you know I rarely put make up on except for church and if we go out all fancy like. I had a wonderful time and am so thankful for my thoughtful husband. Where would we be in this world without the people who love us and without the people we love..........

Thanksgiving!

Well its been a week since thanksgiving and I have to say part of me is sad to be back. We went down to nana sherrys like we do every year and we had a blast! We got to see all of Brandens side of the family minus a few people and Lily got to meet for the first time her great aunts and great uncle and all their families. I love that Lily has great aunts and great uncles who are just a few years older then her daddy! Lily loved her first thanksgiving and all the fun things she got to eat! She simply loves eating any big girl food she can get her hands on and got to try nanas mashed potatoes (best ever) rolls, and other yummy baby friendly food. She got to see her cousin Catelyn who is by the way one day younger then Lily and weighes at least 7lbs less (and is just one of the cutest babies ever) and she just stared at her the whole time!!! We took family pictures that from what I have seen turned out great and will post as soon as I get copies of and we just had an all around great time. We stayed at auntie Lauren and uncle Steves house which was great becuse they have such a nice place and we are so very excited about their sealing later this month, GO LAUREN AND STEVE! YEAH!!!!! Well thats all until I get the pictures so catch ya laters!!

Life As We Know It!

Well lots has happened since my last post. Halloween has come and gone and we had a blast! First we went to the pumpkin patch with Auntie Arielles family and picked out Lilys first pumpkin and went on Lilys first hayride. Lily and I carved the pumpkins, well I carved pumpkins while Lily watched on. We then went to Lilys cousins Jaxs Halloween parade at his school and we finally went trick or treating with Auntie Arielle, Jax, Leo, and dalmation costumed Skunk. Lily was dressed up as a Lady Bud due to her knickname being Lily Bug. She had her first sucker and some Milkyway and was on cloud 9 the entire time. Hopefully next year she might even be able to say trick or treat but I guess we'll see. She is not yet crawling but has developed her own way of getting around by either rolling over and over or by doing a type of army crawl. My theory is she is just taking her time on purpose to get at mommy and daddy and will do it when she is ready. Still no teeth which is a blessing since I am still nursing but like crawling I bet it will happen any day. Daddy says he thinks she'll be crawling by Thanksgiving which would be great since the family will all be together! Well I guess thats all for now, catch you guys later!!

Lily, the mover!

Well just a few days ago we got Lilys walker in the mail and I put her in it not thinking anything would happen. But to my suprise she starting moving right away. She comes to me when I call her and she loves to play with the toy that's attached to the front. She has started drinking out of a big girl sippie cup, although she's not sure yet what it's all about, and she gets to attend her first wedding tomorrow with mommy. My best friend from work Jerrica is getting married and I am her marton of honor and Lily will be my date. We are planning on blessing her within the next few weeks at church on a sunday soon so listen up and we will tell you when it is going to be. That's all for now, catch you later!

Life As We Know It!

Well its been a while since I last posted but I'm still getting use to this. Lily had her 6 month appointment with her pediatrician on Monday and everything went great. She is weighing in at 19 lbs 6 ozs and is 28 1/2 inches tall, meaning she is still in the 95% or higher for weight, height and head circumfrence. She is sitting up so well and devoures any food you put in front of her, though right now most of that is mush. Branden finally left Burger King, hopefully for good this time, and seems to be all the better for it. He is doing great at his new job and apparently all the girls there want to see the almost 20 lb 6 month old he keeps at home. Lily will be getting blessed this weekend and we are very excited since I don't think she would have fit in her bleesing gown much longer! We switched wards again due to wards boundres changing and our new ward happens to be our old ward. Which is great because I really liked our old/new bishop. Nothing much new for me, I'm going to start working more hours at Albertsons so pray for the babysitting daddy, and I will be going out for the first time to hang out with my sister Arielle with out a baby girl in tow. We will be seeing a musical, which we love to do, called Aida. We have already seen it 3 times but we just can't get enough of it. We'll that's all for now. Hopefully it won't be to long until my next post!

First Day!

Well I have finally been sucked into the craze of blogging. Here I sit at the computer while Lily sleeps off here last feeding trying to entertain myself after an exhausting workout that has made me not want to move much. But life must go on as always! Kudos to my brother and siter in-law who I just found out the other day are pregnant and expecting a boy! We are very excited for their family to grow and for Lily to get another cousin to play with. I finally went back to work about a month ago after taking 3 1/2 months off after Lily was born. I never thought I would be a working mother but it really isn't that bad since I don't work too much and it gives Lily and Branden extra time to themselves to bond. Branden is thinking of trying for a new job sometime soon, H.B. Boys has grown old for him and he would like steadier hours so as to see his little family more. I think I hear a little girl waking from her nap so I must bid adou to you and all who may come after!
