She is such a big girl, I cannot beleive it. As I always say Lily is constantly changing, but it's true! She learns new things everyday. Her newest "thing" is saying "da-da" it is the cutest sound I have ever heard. Her little voice is soooo sweet. Im sure you can imagine how this makes her Daddy feel. I have noticed some new variations she has been saying like ya-ya and so on. So we will see what sound she will make next!! I am trying for ma-ma but I think that one is a little too difficult for her :) Lily can fully sit on her own. when she does tip over she is either reaching for something or she just simply wants to change positions. She has learned how to stick her arm out and "cushion" her fall. It is very cute. I think our next purchase will need to be some baby gates. She isn't crawling yet, but I have a feeling that will be the next thing for her. Swimming lessons are starting soon and I am sooooo excited. Once we do start I am sure I will be posting about that as often as I can. No stats this month since she wont have a dr appt until 9 mos. As always here are some pictures of our little Mini. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S4_QlPf8kkI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/Od-_LGsRVMA/s1600-h/P1010844.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I cannot believe how fast the time has flown. Lily is constantly changing and discovering. I love it. She has been loving solid foods for about a month now. Sweet potatoes are her favorite but she has tried applesauce, peaches, pears, bananas, prunes, peas, green beans, squash, and carrots. She seems to love everything that she tries. She is such a good girl! She also loves her rice cereal and oatmeal. Lily has learned how to drink from a sippy cup and so far she has had water, apple juice, pear juice and white grape juice. She absolutely loves them all! Our little girl rolls from back to front and front to back....she is getting very mobile. Yesterday, she was starting to bring her knees up in the crawling position...I have to say it freaked me out a little!! haha. She has learned to sit up on her own, she still tips over from time to time but overall she does great. Lily is still such a chatterbox! she squeals and coos so loud! She absolutely loves the attention :) she gets that from her dad. I swear we have the happiest baby ever, it is very rare that she fusses or cries. when she does it is usually because she is hungry or tired. Lily will be starting swimming lessons in March ( at 7 mos) she will learn survival techniques like how to flip over and float on her back. I am very excited to start! We love our little angel so much! Lily you are the best!<br /><br />6 month stats:<br /><br />weight: 15 lbs 9 oz (50th percentile)<br />height: 26 1/2 inches (90th percentile)<br /><br />absolutely perfect!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-29333097112300707242010-02-02T20:13:00.000-08:002010-02-02T20:21:38.117-08:00Dice, Dice, Dice man!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j5xhN0ylI/AAAAAAAAAZw/khxhack5pXc/s1600-h/P1010764.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j5xhN0ylI/AAAAAAAAAZw/khxhack5pXc/s400/P1010764.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433867579547765330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j5xDXPD4I/AAAAAAAAAZo/VUzTSh1Akf8/s1600-h/P1010765.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j5xDXPD4I/AAAAAAAAAZo/VUzTSh1Akf8/s400/P1010765.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433867571534172034" /></a><br />Let me just start by saying I love my brand new nephew! I really do! It is so awesome being a FIRST TIME auntie. It is such a different feeling...I never thought it would be but I just love the kid so dang much I feel like I might burst! So thank you Josh and Sarah for making me an auntie and Brad an uncle. I am so excited that Lily has a cousin, I just know they are going to be the best of friends. <br /><br />Well little Dice entered this world on January 31st. He was 6 lbs 13 oz and 18 1/2 inches. Sarah was such a trooper. She was in labor for a full 24 hours before the little guy finally came crying into this world...and cry he did! I had the opportunity to join the grandmas at the hospital all night and wait for him to be born. I cant even tell you the feeling when we FINALLY got to see him after waiting 8 hrs in the waiting room. I am so happy for Josh and Sarah. They have embarked on such a fantastic journey. Thank you to both of them for allowing me to be a part of their miracle. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-70516841036178357112010-02-02T20:08:00.000-08:002010-02-02T20:12:49.191-08:00First play date!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j3tyQ4q3I/AAAAAAAAAZg/FrcSvTpY1Ok/s1600-h/P1010761.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j3tyQ4q3I/AAAAAAAAAZg/FrcSvTpY1Ok/s400/P1010761.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433865316381272946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j3tUSzVXI/AAAAAAAAAZY/MsIT9e3Xp8Q/s1600-h/P1010760.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S2j3tUSzVXI/AAAAAAAAAZY/MsIT9e3Xp8Q/s400/P1010760.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433865308336248178" /></a><br />Well Lily officially had her first play date with her bff Kaytleigh!

I am really hoping this is the end of it. I have decided to start my year with February. Who needs January? It is cold, dark, and everyone is sick of winter. One great thing that happened in January was that my mom came out to stay. I love when she is here!! We went shopping, got pedicures, and just had a grand time. Also, we did our taxes the other day and we are actually getting a refund! Hallelujah!! Thank you house, Lily, maternity leave, and part time job. First time ever for us. Seems a little backwards that a big reason for it is that I worked less and went part time. ANYWAYS....bring on February. I will be in more of a blogging mood. I will have a new nephew...actually my FIRST nephew!!! Valentines day. Super Bowl. Brad getting wisdom teeth out (not great for him, but good for me because I wont have to hear any more complaining). Lily will be 6 months old. and hopefully many more great things to come!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-2638441655157387552010-01-12T14:55:00.000-08:002010-01-12T15:02:15.092-08:00Christmas 2009!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S0z_aYb8BmI/AAAAAAAAAX4/fBqcdfmOTbI/s1600-h/P1010716.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S0z_aYb8BmI/AAAAAAAAAX4/fBqcdfmOTbI/s400/P1010716.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425992479775917666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S0z_ZzlS1hI/AAAAAAAAAXw/8NiH8oOFIww/s1600-h/P1010706.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/S0z_ZzlS1hI/AAAAAAAAAXw/8NiH8oOFIww/s400/P1010706.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425992469883049490" /></a><br />Yes...I am a little late with my Christmas post...but at least I am finally doing it! Lily had such a great first Christmas! It has been my very favorite Christmas so far :) it was so much fun even though she didnt really catch on to much. She did love the wrapping paper though. Lily is such a spoiled girl! she got tons of new toys and clothes. This Christmas was the best just because we had our little girl with us. Last year she was with us, but not in the same way. I cannot wait for more holidays to come. Brad and I didnt do as much for eachother as we have in years past, but I think both of us still got spoiled :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-64435075209438889672009-12-16T16:39:00.000-08:002009-12-16T16:44:08.400-08:00Hale Center Theater<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Syl-z_3_9cI/AAAAAAAAAXo/L1UQoTeu3VE/s1600-h/a-christmas-carol.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Syl-z_3_9cI/AAAAAAAAAXo/L1UQoTeu3VE/s400/a-christmas-carol.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415999458674472386" /></a><br />This week we were so lucky to be able to get away for an evening to go see The Christmas Carol play at Hale Center Theater. We went with my side of the family and we had such an amazing time! The play was sooooo GOOD, it exceeded both mine and Brad's expectations. After the play we went to eat at the new restaurant in Orem called Pirate Isand! It is actually a pretty cool place. Very good place for a fun family dinner! We missed our little Lily, but it was sure nice to go out with the adults :) Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful evening!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-3451171161739880412009-12-16T16:19:00.000-08:002009-12-16T16:31:21.834-08:00Yes we have a four month old!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Syl7zwhYa2I/AAAAAAAAAXY/9sFLOs0Tffw/s1600-h/P1010661.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Syl7zwhYa2I/AAAAAAAAAXY/9sFLOs0Tffw/s400/P1010661.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415996156018191202" /></a><br />Lily is four months old!! (actually 4 1/2) I cannot believe how fast the time has flown...but I say that every time! Lily is at such a fun age. We are constantly getting a kick out of her. She is such a happy baby and I am so glad for that. Lily is up to sooo many new things...a few of them are: grabbing toys on her own and playing, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, she is a great little supported sitter, laughing/giggling, she is a TALKER...she goes on and on making new noises it is hilarious, Lily sleeps all through the night..her last feeding is at 9 pm then she doesnt eat again until 5 or 6!! Lily is also teething which makes her a little drool monster on top of her spitting up....yes she still spits up A LOT but the doc gave me the green light on rice cereal so I am hoping the cereal will help her with that! <br /><br />stats: <br /><br />12 lbs 14 oz 50th percentile<br />24 1/2 inches long 75th percentile....yes she is still a little tall :)<br /><br />we love you Lily!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-13078347246026133132009-12-02T13:53:00.000-08:002009-12-02T14:07:19.513-08:00Thanksgiving post...a little lateIt's never to late to express the things you are thankful for...right!?

We enjoyed some great...and I mean GREAT food and some good ole fashioned family time. I seriously stuffed myself to the brim, but I dont feel guilty :) Lily sat right there at the table with us and she slept through the whole feast. Next year hopefully she will be covered in mashed potatoes! <br /><br />* I am so grateful for my daughter. She is my ray of sunshine. I am thankful that I had such a healthy pregnancy and that she made it here safe and sound. I am so grateful for her health and her beautiful smiling face. She turns any bad day into a good one. I love you Lily Rae!<br /><br />* I love love love my husband. He is the most positive force in my life and I am so thankful for that. Love you forever Bradley.<br /><br />* I am so grateful for our jobs. Especially at a time like this. We both have jobs we enjoy and I feel so lucky that we both can provide for our little family.<br /><br />* I am thankful for my family...my moms, dads, brothers, sisters,....etc ALL of you mean the world to me. Thank You for everything you do or have done for us. It DOES NOT go unnoticed. <br /><br />* I am so grateful for my home. I always feel safe and cozy inside these walls. I love that we can call it OUR OWN.<br /><br />* FRIENDS. you know who you are, and you know I love you.<br /><br />* I am thankful for the food in my belly.

We are officially done counting Lily's age in weeks! I can't beleive our little girl is 3 months old...wow the time has really flown. I still wake up every morning and thank God that this sweet angel is mine. She is our little ray of sunshine! What is Lily up to? Well she is smiling like crazy and she even has started to giggle, she is laying on her tummy a lot more and holding her head up so good, she sleeps anywhere from 6-8 hours straight at night, she absolutely loves to watch TV it is so funny ( we need to buy her some baby einsteins), Lily has started making these really high pitched squeaks...so cute, she is loving her toys more and more everyday, I have started reading books to her and she just loves it!! I am not sure of her stats at this point, she wont go to the doctor until her four month appt. So we will have to wait until then.

The blessing was absolutely amazing! My brother Josh performed the blessing and he did such a beautiful job. We are so glad that he accepted the task :) Lily was such a good girl and quite the trooper. She looked so pretty in the dress Grandma K bought her. Thanks to all who came and supported our little family, it means so much to us. Also thanks to my parents for hosting...I know it was a lot of work and everything looked so beautiful!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-81130249052397508212009-10-07T12:04:00.000-07:002009-10-07T12:18:27.836-07:008 weeks...kind of!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpePZaIWI/AAAAAAAAATI/HOhlwsTgot8/s1600-h/IMG_3095.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpePZaIWI/AAAAAAAAATI/HOhlwsTgot8/s400/IMG_3095.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389939559794090338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpdTIiaCI/AAAAAAAAATA/sGGy81ymnag/s1600-h/IMG_3090.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpdTIiaCI/AAAAAAAAATA/sGGy81ymnag/s400/IMG_3090.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389939543617202210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpdJyJdOI/AAAAAAAAAS4/KMnRn0uReSM/s1600-h/IMG_3093.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpdJyJdOI/AAAAAAAAAS4/KMnRn0uReSM/s400/IMG_3093.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389939541107373282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpIGu96LI/AAAAAAAAASw/R1mpOgwUXKw/s1600-h/IMG_3088.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpIGu96LI/AAAAAAAAASw/R1mpOgwUXKw/s400/IMG_3088.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389939179511474354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpBLG0R9I/AAAAAAAAASo/xnrCBdxJQeE/s1600-h/IMG_3086.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SszpBLG0R9I/AAAAAAAAASo/xnrCBdxJQeE/s400/IMG_3086.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389939060426164178" /></a><br />Little Lily bug is actually 9 weeks old as of yesterday. I waited to post so that I could put her stats up. Lily is growing and changing like crazy!! I swear she hit 8 weeks and all of these sudden changes started occuring. She smiles at her mommy and daddy when she sees them, she is cooing like crazy, she loves to lay on her blanket and play with her toys ( well look at her toys), she loves to suck on her fingers, she sticks out her tongue ALL the time, she can stare at the ceiling fan for a very long time ( thats how I get ready in the mornings), she has become a little splashing machine in the tub it is so much fun to watch! I still feed her once in the middle of the night, but she is getting better and better. We love our sweet girl soooo much and I dont know what we ever did without her! She is our everything. Lily also has a little bit of an attitude....when she is hungry, she is HUNGRY and she doesnt want to wait! She doesnt like to stop in the middle to burp either. My mom calls her "little spunky" and she is RIGHT ON. What can I say though, we love her little spunky personality!! <br /><br />at nine weeks Lily weighs: 10 lbs 2 oz ( 50th percentile)<br />height: 23 inches long ( 90th percentile) <br /><br />Yep! pretty sure she is going to be tall like her daddy!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-67297854353147740932009-09-09T09:38:00.001-07:002009-09-09T09:43:20.849-07:00some pictures for your enjoyment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SqfbBSUo0NI/AAAAAAAAASI/669Rt5U8IA8/s1600-h/0137.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I can barely believe how fast time has flown. She is constantly changing and growing from day to day. Lily is the sweetest baby, and we are so thankful that she is ours. <br /><br />Some things Lily is up to:<br /><br />*She loves listening to music<br />*Her favorite time of the day is bath time<br />*She is such a chatterbox, she loves to talk and coo<br />*She goes five hours in between feedings at night! Hopefully soon we can make it six :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-45048934292283614812009-08-21T16:30:00.000-07:002009-08-21T16:37:38.804-07:00first stroller ride!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vogBHOhI/AAAAAAAAAQI/A1A8ceoBMis/s1600-h/P1010558.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vogBHOhI/AAAAAAAAAQI/A1A8ceoBMis/s400/P1010558.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372565253312166418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vew_6lHI/AAAAAAAAAQA/d9Ufs4AZXUA/s1600-h/P1010556.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vew_6lHI/AAAAAAAAAQA/d9Ufs4AZXUA/s400/P1010556.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372565086071854194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vVgZx6bI/AAAAAAAAAP4/5I-MuakiVQ4/s1600-h/P1010555.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/So8vVgZx6bI/AAAAAAAAAP4/5I-MuakiVQ4/s400/P1010555.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372564926998112690" /></a><br />Lily had her two week doctor appointment on Wednesday! She is doing absolutely wonderful, her weight is up to 7 pounds already and she has grown and inch in length putting her at 19 inches long. The doctor let me know that I need to wait until she is four weeks old to take her out in public places around other people. He did however, tell me it was ok to take her on walks! This was so exciting for me because it would give us a chance to get out and get a little fresh air. We couldnt go too far since I am still recovering, but we had a great 30 min walk around the neighborhood. She absolutely loved it! She was wide eyed the whole time :) I am hoping to make it a daily thing atleast until the weather gets too cool.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-59921585479181775952009-08-11T13:27:00.000-07:002009-08-11T13:37:58.345-07:00One week old!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWlmpioLI/AAAAAAAAAPw/EUIZDcZINqY/s1600-h/P1010530.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWlmpioLI/AAAAAAAAAPw/EUIZDcZINqY/s400/P1010530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368808172320628914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWdfXFKbI/AAAAAAAAAPo/9EDdc-Ny00Y/s1600-h/P1010527.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWdfXFKbI/AAAAAAAAAPo/9EDdc-Ny00Y/s400/P1010527.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368808032925198770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWUTAFFcI/AAAAAAAAAPg/ssFjqL2tFgs/s1600-h/P1010525.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWUTAFFcI/AAAAAAAAAPg/ssFjqL2tFgs/s400/P1010525.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368807874988676546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWIn1sSBI/AAAAAAAAAPY/RjuZay7htFc/s1600-h/P1010524.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SoHWIn1sSBI/AAAAAAAAAPY/RjuZay7htFc/s400/P1010524.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368807674423822354" /></a><br />Thats right, our little ray of sunshine is one week old today! Wow what a week it has been, things still seem so surreal. Every time I look at Lily I still cannot believe that I am her mommy. I feel so lucky, to have her. I know that being a mother to her is and will always be my greatest accomplishment. Is it crazy that I look forward to waking up 3 times in the middle of the night? Just so I can hold her? We love our little squirt and can't wait to make many more memories :)<br /><br />Some accomplishments we have made:<br /><br />*Lily wakes up on her own every three hours to eat! She is so good!<br />*She had her first doctors appointment yesterday, and the doctor said she is doing perfect! <br />*current weight is 6lbs 2 oz (we are working on fattening her up)<br />*The past 3 nights she has slept in her bassinetUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-22895127685088470912009-08-08T10:25:00.000-07:002009-08-08T10:32:19.692-07:00Introducing Lily Rae!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22lo3zDvI/AAAAAAAAAO4/I_TtOFFyQ0E/s1600-h/P1010513.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22lo3zDvI/AAAAAAAAAO4/I_TtOFFyQ0E/s400/P1010513.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367647088638365426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22lftL0TI/AAAAAAAAAOw/5o79Ck-kvRE/s1600-h/P1010494.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22lftL0TI/AAAAAAAAAOw/5o79Ck-kvRE/s400/P1010494.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367647086177931570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22k-sA1qI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Rp4FSAyTOZk/s1600-h/P1010492.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22k-sA1qI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Rp4FSAyTOZk/s400/P1010492.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367647077314647714" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22kTwQUfI/AAAAAAAAAOg/_3AgzBI4T50/s1600-h/P1010477.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22kTwQUfI/AAAAAAAAAOg/_3AgzBI4T50/s400/P1010477.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367647065789714930" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22kEs--FI/AAAAAAAAAOY/BoUfrhmMF4I/s1600-h/P1010462.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sn22kEs--FI/AAAAAAAAAOY/BoUfrhmMF4I/s400/P1010462.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367647061749463122" /></a><br />Born August 4th at 3:16 am<br />6lbs 9oz<br />18 inchesUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-43787818499147219732009-06-26T16:19:00.000-07:002009-06-26T16:49:43.408-07:00THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SkVehmCQOrI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/J4W2gSvVL90/s1600-h/pregnancy_32weeks-300x288.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 288px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/SkVehmCQOrI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/J4W2gSvVL90/s400/pregnancy_32weeks-300x288.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351787663438396082" /></a><br />I have made it! I am 32 weeks today....woot! That has to be some kind of milestone right? Only eight weeks left. Dont get me wrong I have really enjoyed being pregnant, but lately I have been getting VERY anxious. I just want her to get here. I have heard the 3rd trimester is the worst because of the anxiety and it is sooooo true. I think my belly grows a little more everyday. Having a big pregnancy belly is so hard! I cannot tie my own shoes, paint my own toe nails, and bending over period is a huge chore. I woke up at 3 am last night with the most painful heartburn ever.....this has been one of the new occurances I have been dealing with for the past couple weeks, but in the middle of the night!? really? Tums have become my very new best friend :) I had never had heartburn before getting pregnant, but when my chest felt like it was on fire and about to rip open I kinda figured that must be it! Baby Lily loves to jam her feet and hands under my ribs too....let me tell ya, that is such a joy. I am ALWAYS hungry but I cannot eat all I want to in one sitting because I am pretty sure my stomach is also under my ribs and that leads to shortness of breath................................ok ok ok ok ok I promise I am not complaining. I couldnt love my little baby more. ALREADY. She has Brad and I both wrapped around her tiny finger. She loves to dance and I love to watch my belly moves as she does her morning aerobics! I already know she is going to be so much fun. hopefully she isnt too squished in there!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-66296258339828209712009-06-05T12:55:00.000-07:002009-06-05T12:58:47.852-07:00Shout out to the grad!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sil47Ei-ePI/AAAAAAAAAOI/0RRBoHZc7eE/s1600-h/jason"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 97px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sil47Ei-ePI/AAAAAAAAAOI/0RRBoHZc7eE/s400/jason" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343935389079861490" /></a><br />We just wanted to give a little shout out to Jason, and say congrats on your graduation!

We literally have not been anywhere since December when we went to California. So it was definitely time to get away. We went with the Simons side and we had a blast! We got to stay in a super nice condo for the weekend and it was so great to relax. We went shopping at the outlets, saw a movie, went mini golfing and of course we ate at In n Out. There was plenty of relaxing too :) here are a few pictures of the weekend! Thanks to our family! We had such a good time! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3w0WJcPjI/AAAAAAAAANw/idJPwHfAL1c/s1600-h/P1010371.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3w0WJcPjI/AAAAAAAAANw/idJPwHfAL1c/s400/P1010371.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340689515220319794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wmoR_tHI/AAAAAAAAANo/69Ux84ZHV6w/s1600-h/P1010366.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wmoR_tHI/AAAAAAAAANo/69Ux84ZHV6w/s320/P1010366.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340689279569867890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wUbcoLgI/AAAAAAAAANg/YdnxuemPv54/s1600-h/P1010363.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wUbcoLgI/AAAAAAAAANg/YdnxuemPv54/s320/P1010363.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340688966887157250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wD6XpF2I/AAAAAAAAANY/r562H-crAh0/s1600-h/P1010361.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/Sh3wD6XpF2I/AAAAAAAAANY/r562H-crAh0/s320/P1010361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340688683129968482" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153181882454859907.post-36099175226153118322009-05-19T08:55:00.000-07:002009-05-19T09:04:48.520-07:00Zoom Zoom!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/ShLYgjKKcsI/AAAAAAAAANQ/3dGYgNYcKW4/s1600-h/zoom"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 189px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPu_dEPTmu4/ShLYgjKKcsI/AAAAAAAAANQ/3dGYgNYcKW4/s400/zoom" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337566562092741314" /></a><br />Yes! We finally got rid of our Jeep! It was a long time coming and let me tell you I am soooo glad it is finally gone. A couple weeks ago we decided to purchase a 2007 Mazda CX-7. We had been looking for a while and one that we really liked finally came into Carmax :) we got a great deal and everything just seemed to fall into place. We are loving the car! It feels great to have something a little more reliable. The Jeep was a good car, but it was definitly time for it to go. Since you are all probably wondering.....NO, I am not going to make Brad drive the Beetle so I can drive the new car!I still <strong>LOVE</strong> my Beetle. Apparently that is the joke going around Brad's work :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
