Baby's 1st camping trip

So our ward had an overnight campout so we decided to go. We got 2 sites for us, the Tiffany's, the Bassets and the Millers. It was a super great time and we LOVE hanging out with these families. I only wish I would have gotten more pictures. Alex is the one to thank for the pictures we did get, without him we would have had like one shot.





















Slowly, one by one everyone left our happy little campsite. It started with the Tiffany's, then the Bassetts went home, and then in the middle of the night the Millers left. I guess Alex's snoring was too much. We woke to only find Kiera.






At the yummy ward breadfast.




this picture just makes me laugh!



ok, this kid loves tags. She's playing in the pack and play with all her other toys, and all she wants is the tag under the pad.....why do we even buy toys?






My favorite part, finishing off the reduced fat oreos!!






Somebody was tired from all the camping fun!!




After everyone packed up and left, we felt like it was still early in the day and we didn't get a chance to play any games....so Kiera stayed with us and we played Wizard, it was fun!









Alex's pile of nutshells....it got much bigger!





Thats the bush that houses BIG FOOT! The whole time we were playing we kept hearing things, and not little animal things either. Somethings living in ther!




Baby having lunch with daddy!



Here we are playing cards, we love Wizard!




We're driving home with the windows down, she loves it!!

Company

We were lucky enough to have Holly and her baby come visit last week. He was a little cranky and was crying and I couldn't resist taking pictures of the two of them. Our baby was so concerned and kept trying to reach out to him (in my mind thats what she was thinking. no one really knows!)

Cuddling

I always said I was going to do "Baby Wise" before I got pregnant. I so couldn't do it, I can't let my baby cry, I'm a huge whimp. There is something about when she rubs her eyes, yawns and puts her head on my shoulder that I LOVE. She never just sits there and lets me cuddle with her, and as her mother I really enjoy it when she's ready for bed. She's usually asleep before I can start rocking in the chair but I usually just hold her for a few minutes. She's getting so big, so fast I don't want to give it up!!

My baby got sick

Well it finally happened, she got sick. Last week on Thursday she would cough this strange cough I hadn't heard before, then when we put her to sleep she woke herself 5 or 6 times coughing. She had a stuffy nose and it was running down her throat making her cough. We took her in to the office and got her adjusted and tested and she had some allergies. We got all the supplements to help and she did SOOOO much better the rest of the week..........cut to this week on Thursday. She woke up with a flemmy cough and a green gooyey nose. Back to the office we went for more care. She's doing well tonight, just a little cough every once in a while. I'll take her to the dr. on monday if it hasn't gone away by then. I just wish I didn't have to stick that thing up her nose to get the snot.....she hates it. If only she could blow her nose!! ;)

Elder Eller

Jon sends weekly emails and boy is he growing up. We love him TONS and are so proud! Here is a picture he sent of one of the baptisms they had.

Timeout for Women!!!

AHHHH, what a wonderful weekend!! My mom, sister, daughter and myself went to time out for women (we missed you Michelle) and it was great, we even got free bags (i get excited about free). There is just something about being in a large room with all women of your faith. I'm a musical person and often feel the spirit much more quickly when I hear a beautiful song, and this weekend was the same. Kenneth Cope sang several songs and he has an awesome voice. I just wish I could of sung out loud with him. I had him sign 2 of my songbooks that he wrote and took a few pictures. Love his work! Other presenters were Mary Ellen Edmunds, sharon Larsen, Camille Fronk Olson, Carolyn Rasmus and Jason Wright. I really liked Jason Wright, and Mary Ellen Edmunds.I got to see my great friends Jonna and Terri from Fremont, man I miss that area! Overall it was a super time, I love the way I feel after a spiritual weekend, I can't wait for next year. Anyway baby was GREAT!! She was so easy and fun to be with. I love her so much. After the conference we went to Leatherbee's and had icecream!!! Man it was good! Since I've started weight watchers I haven't had such a huge dessert. Mom and I split ours and it was a good thing cause I would have eaten the whole thing by myself.

I highly recommend you go to a "Timeout for Women" with those you love if possible...it's really great!!

Protect Marriage

There is a huge war facing us!!! Please get out and help with your time or money to protect marriage between a man and a woman!!! This isn't the time to be shy, or embarassed. We can't worry if we're hurting someones feelings and it may become uncomfortable at times, but we have to do what's right. If you need more info on the subject there is a link to the left, please check it out! Yes on Prop 8!!!!

Russell's

As you may know our family visits Russells or Cozy's Diner on a weekly basis. Here is our last trip with Aaron and Michelle's family. Michelle had gotten injured at work (check her blog out for details) and came for an adjustment. It was super great to spend some time with them!!

Man I love this kid

I just had to throw these pictures on of her in her PJ's having a little play time. I really can't remember my life before her!!!

Who's baby is that??

Our baby is tall and skinny, thats why these pictures are so funny. Just the way she is sleeping looks like a totally different person. Someone gave us a little Budda in her place! ;)
