10 Months

This cute girl has become quite the little swimmer this summer.. we have been going to the pool every monday and sometimes more!

All she needs is a pair of arm floaties, and she is off..into the deep end (sort of freaks me out)



 She is really becoming quite the little friend, to people in the ward, and really anyone who is at the park at night when we are there!

 We had Julie, Kyndra, Kynsie, Walker and Karlee down for the 24th of July and it was so much fun:)

We are all still walking around wishing that they were here to play and talk with!!

I love seeing Abbey with her cousins, it reminds me of myself when I was little, my cousins were my best friends! I wanted to do everthing with them and I love seeing that same relationship form with her cousins!

These two cute girls are just about a month apart!

 These 3 are the funnest most dangerous team you could imagine!

 This is Abbey's most favorite place to be lately! She sure does love her Daddy!!

 We have been walking down to the park almost every night lately, she usually sits under one of the slides, and scoops the rocks in and out of this cup till it is almost 8:30 and then I usually am walking home with 2 crying girls, one is mad we stayed too long and one is mad we didn't stay long enough!

 This little cutie who is now 10 months old and WALKING!! has been so much fun this month! she can pretty much do anything she wants and is in charge she yells at us when we are eating things that she wants, and that is pretty much anything we ever eat, she doesn't like baby food anymore, she wants our food! Which is ok most of the time!

 She used to really only like me, but she is warming up to other people! She loves to come to Sunbeams with me, i don't like it too much she terrorizes the other kids, and causes caos, but she loves to play with other kids! Lane has been watching her more this month while Abbey and I go swimming together, and you can really tell how much they have bonded this month! I love seeing him be such a great dad to these cute girls!

 She is usually the one who makes Abbey mad, they are starting to fight a little more now that Lucy wants Abbeys toys! Abbey is having a hard time sharing and Lucy is just kind of mean to Abbey i find big huge chunks of abbey hair all over our house nowadays, and I am pretty sure there Abbey has 2 rather large bald spots!

She is such a good girl, and we are so happy to have her in our lucky family!

As for Lane and I we are staying busy keeping up with all the weeds and "projects" going on in our house

We have both been eating better, I have been working out, running (thats right i have been running lately) never thought i would ever run, i have lost 48 lbs and lane is down 15 or so!

I am so proud of all the hard work that i have done, i have been working my butt off and it is paying off!

I feel stronger physically, mentally and emotionally!

who knew that loosing weight would solve so many different problems:)

Until next month!

9 Months

I know this is late, but Lucy has turned into a crazy woman, there is no place she can't go

STAIRS.. this little woman does STAIRS!!

She crawls to the couch walks all over the place holding onto anything.. even just the wall

I didn't think she would ever do this.. she is my little baby:(

 I adore this sweet girl, she is so fun right now.. we play patty cake, and she claps her hands with us!

 She still loves food.. this is at our local park where they had a concert and Lucy was rummaging for some snacks! She is starting to throw little fits when you take food from her or don't share.. ice cream cones in particular

 We are such good friends, and she still likes me more than anyone.. but lane is making his way up her list!

Abbey has changed so much.. she absolutly LOVES nursery, which is really nice, I love that she has some friends in there to play with! She still loves boys way more than girls but we have seen a little princess come out of nowhere lately.. which is kind of fun!

 She loves her sister, and her sister loves her.. I see these two playing around laughing together and it reminds me of my sisters.. (Probably before i came around) But they just love to play together, and Abbey loves teaching lucy new things! It makes for some great fun, and some great trouble!

The picture below.. she wanted me to take a picture of her  "little baby seed" that was "oh so darling"

Not sure where that came from.. but was cute!

UNTIL NEXT TIME:)

3 YEARS

It happened and I don't know when, but its so exciting!

I am so happy she turned 3 today, she is such a fun little girl, and we had a good day today!

She loves Peter Pan, mostly Captain Hook, but it really depends on the day!

So when I asked her what she wanted it was Tinkerbell and Captain Hook!

 I love her adventurous spirit, and her imagination is so fun! I love watching her grow up:)

 Birthday Muffins

 Some cute pictures of this little one, she is keeping me on my toes, she is crawling and walking holding on to things like CRAZY!! She is a mover:) and almost 9 months old WHAT!?

Happiest Place on Earth

We had a blast!

We bought Annual Passes, so there will be a few more trips to Disneyland hopefully!

We left Saturday night around 4:30 so the girls would sleep most of the way, it worked out perfect, the girls slept and we got there early enough in the morning that Lane and I got to sleep a little too before our first day at Disney!

Abbey loved it, she had so much fun and her favorite characters were Pluto (? have no idea why) and Alice 



We went for 3 days, and had so much fun! It was so fun to just go as a family and really enjoy the time we got to spend just us!

Summer Loving

It was the perfect summer day to go outside and play with some sticks:)

I just put this one on here cause she is such a cute girl:)



8 Months

I hate that I only post once a month, and honestly i haven't really been wanting to sit down and do it, but the house is picked up Lucy is asleep and Abbey is laying on my bed watching a cartoon..

What a perfect time:)

This little cutie is now 8 months old! I remember when she was born thinking that I couldn't wait for her to get to this age. Don't get me wrong, i LIKE the baby stage, but really i don't like the adjustment stage where I am sleep deprived and my hormones are wild and i feel kinda crazy.. i like this stage right now:)

She is learning so much and is really started to be quite the little ham!

She has been crawling now for about a month, and she is getting better every day, she however has decided it isn't as much fun as standing up, so she is standing on EVERYTHING!

She actually has a pretty good shiner on her head from falling over!

Abbey didn't move this fast, but she didn't have someone to try and keep up with either!

I have a feeling she is going to be a walker sooner than I think:)

She loves food (As you can tell from her size)

She now weighs around 25lbs (Yes I have a very strong left arm)

Abbey is going to be 3 in a few weeks, and I am just really excited for her!

If you ask her what kind of a party she wants she will tell you she wants a PIRATE PARTY

Don't know where she got it from but she is such an adventurous girl!

She is really starting to understand more and more everyday!

She is very good as listening to me when i am telling her to do or not do something

BUT if it is something she really wants she will beg

"pretty pretty please mommy"

or

"I want my daddy" (or anyone who is or has been around us that day)

We really are friends, and I am happy for the girl she is becoming!

She makes me such a proud momma:)

I can't wait to see her grow and change this next year:)

Lane & I

Well we aren't moving to Rock Springs! (which is ok) I really thought we were going to!

But I am so proud of my man, he works so hard for us, adn for anyone that needs him!

I am so glad that he chose me!

We have really become such a good team, and I love the couple we have become over these last 8 years!!

I know that there is a plan for us, and we will get the job when the right one comes along!

We built a new shower in our master bathroom and are working on pouring some concrete for our driveway, they all just take time that we don't seem to ever have!

I guess thats what we get when we do it ourselves!

We decided to buy annual passports to Disneyland, and are going this next week!

It is my most favorite place to go, and I am so excited that we will be going a few times this year!

We are all happy and healthy! And I am so thankful for that:)
