Adios Christmas!

I can't wait to pack you up and send you to the garage tomorrow.. starting the new year fresh and clean!

Today is a BIG day

It's my sweet Niece Lilly's FIRST Birthday!


It's My In-Laws Anniversary!


And our Aunt Lizzies Birthday as well!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!

PS. I swear our Dad isn't always wearing his ASU shirt.

Cookie Exchange!

FHE was at our house this week.. we had the annual Cookie Exchange this year since the Dulgarians moved. I totally wish that I had gotten a picture of all the cookies, but this was all that was left at the end of the night.. they were all sooo good. Just ask Baker he ate about a dozen at least.. mind you he is also suppose to be on a cleansing diet.


I made Yummy Hot Wassal instead of cookies.. I figured there would be enough of those!


It was so much fun to just hang out with our friends.. we really don't get together that often, and I wish that we did. I was bummed for the people that didn't make it, not only was there great company, there were some really delicious cookies.


All the moms with their kids.. there were a couple that didn't make it in this photo!

Emmy especially had a good time because she got to make out with her Boyfriend Charlie again. She really loves him!

Where has the Time Gone?

Munchkin Breath is already 6 months old! I am dying over here. My baby is growing up too fast. She is giggling at just about anything, and anyone who looks at her. She has virtually skipped rice cereal since she hated it and decided to go right to the good stuff. She loves her veggies and grunts if I don't have the spoon full of the next bite by the time she swallows. She now has solid poopies (Which I hate) and changing her diaper is almost impossible with her being such a rascal. Her mode of transport is the old fashioned stop drop and roll. She can get to one side of the room from the other faster then I can put my cereal bowl in the sink. She weighed in at a mere 14lbs 5oz only being at the 25th% but still managed to come in 90th for her height at 27inches. Tall and skinny just like her dad. My precious little girl didn't even shed a tear this morning when the nurse poked her twice for her shots.. are you kidding me? She didn't even cry!

And if you haven't noticed yet.. she is so proud to finally be a sitter.

That Time of Year

Once we all felt better, we decided it was time to get into the Christmas spirit. Little Bit dressed up as Santa, and we decorated our tree that had been at our house for almost a week already. I just realized that we haven't gotten a single picture of the tree, which is a shame because it looks pretty pathetic now. Our star on top is now upside down, and the tree is totally tilted to the left.. I promise it was straight at one point!

We also dressed her up in her Christmas Dress for church this last Sunday.. it was her big half birthday so she had to look her best! Thanks Grandma Cindy for the dress!

An Eventful 10 Days!

This is not the normal face of our sweet dear Emmy. This is the sad poor face of a girl who just hurled her morning feeding and had already been changed twice by 9am. Our sweet little girl got her first case of the stomach flu. It was going around our ward so I shouldn't say I was that surprised, I just didn't think it would be this bad.

She spent 48 hours on straight Pedialite. No milk no nothing.

After she couldn't keep the pedialite down we heading into the doctor to check all her signs and to see if she needed an IV, and luckily she didn't. The poor girl slept for two days straight probably and was CONSTANTLY wanting to be held by her momma. It is the saddest and sweetest thing because they are so cuddly, but sooo miserable. You could just see it in her face. When she did let me put her down she just laid there staring into space. I hate seeing her sick. It breaks my heart.

Just when she was getting better and I was relieved that it had skipped me, I was hit with the same thing, only I landed in the ER to be strapped down and hooked up to some IVs. I don't remember much.. just Baker waking me up from the bathroom floor. It was not something I would wish upon anyone. Luckily it was only 1 day of throwing up, and another of rest. Baker was so great at playing Mr Mom while I was out.. he really took care of me and Em. Worlds best Husband and Father award goes to him. Thanks Babe.

Apologies!

If you haven't noticed I have taken my music off my blog. I did this for one reason and one reason only.

The reason: I always hate when I go to someones blog and I forget to turn my volume down and the music blares. Which also reminds me that I don't necessarily like listening to music when I am reading other blogs. I normally turn my music off all together. Which raises a question

Why would I want music on mine if I don't listen to it on others?

So for that reason. You may read in peace.
