Oh Man

It's been so long since I updated this thing.. It cracks me up that only a handful of the friends I follow still update their blog. I am determined not to let this go for more than 6 months to update.. that is my promise.. starting now! :)

So much has happened since my last post. Here are a few of the most important:


First and foremost my Sweet Grandmother lost her battle with cancer on 7/4/11. I miss her terribly, but know she is in a better place and isn't sick any longer.


Todd and I celebrated our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Wow, 3 years, it's literally flown by! We have had something major happen in every one of these last 3 years and am excited to see what year 4 will bring. Looking at wedding pictures, I can't believe how much Todd and I have changed.. in every aspect. I am happy to be where I am in life now, I just want my wedding body back and to fit in that dress! It will happen folks!


Avery is 1 years old! She quickly went from rolling to crawling to full blown walking in 5 months. She really has been walking for the last 5 days or so. Now she only crawls to something to pull herself up. It's been so fun watching this little princess of mine grow, learn and achieve. She is truly inspiring and has taught me that everything in life isn't easy, but if we want it bad enough we will get it. Weather that be through hard work or trust and love in others.


My little Brother is having a baby! Melissa is about 10 weeks along and I am super excited to meet this little one! We are all pretty sure they are having a boy~ but would love to have someone to pass along all these darling girl things to.


That's all for now. I never add pictures because I can't plug in my camera or a usb cord to my work computer.. so when I get around to emailing myself pictures from my laptop.. I will add some past fun pics. until then.. feast your eyes on this little cutie.

procrastination

whelp.. no Disneyland pics posted. I still haven't taken them off my camera LOL.
Life has been crazy busy. Between Avery, Todd, work, and doing side jobs, my blog has been the last thing on my mind.

Also, a big chunk of my thoughts and prayers are going to my sweet Grandma McKee, who is fighting cancer. She was diagnosed last summer and had an operation and treatments to remove it from her tongue and throat. A few months later, they found more cancer in her lungs and arms. And as of now they keep finding it spreading to more and more of her body, almost every time they look. I pray for her and that her treatments will work, every night. Grandma I love you. I miss your sweet laugh and miss hugging and kissing you. Get well soon!!

I gotta get this off my chest!

So for the last few months, when people see my baby, they always say " oh how chunky" or "aren't you a chubby girl" or something to that effect.
I am starting to think it is all my fault. My mom says " your milk is like cream" what the H E double hockey sticks am I supposed to do about that? I figure the whiter the milk the better for a baby. But maybe I am wrong. Is what I put in my body IE cake, candy and cheeseburgers (I don't eat like that every day, but don't deprive myself either) making my baby obese? Am I supposed to eat like a rabbit and only take in 1000 calories a day? thus giving her milk that looks like water and possibly make her loose weight? I am so confused.
However, if anyone calls my daughter fat one more time they are going to get it.
That is all.

The Happiest Place on EARTH!!

I promise, she was smiling at one point. But I am sure I looked this same way at the end of the day. Love me some mini Minnie!

More Disneyland 2011 trip pictures to come..

Family Pictures

Last Sunday we went to the state capitol to get our family pictures done.
(I was surprised that they were open to the public on Sunday!)
I hadn't been there since Riverton High School Junior Prom 2000. It was a blast from the past. Especially getting pictures on the stairs. Seems like yesterday that we were all huddling in for the whole prom photo. I could pick out exactly where I was standing and peeking through everyone taller than me.. and now I have Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time" playing in my head..



Here are a few of the proofs we were given. I love the one of my little family, minus my boob hanging out LOL.


But the one of the whole famdamnily makes me laugh so hard. If you can zoom in.. look at all the kids.. oh man its pretty hilarious. I sure hope there is at least one better picture of them out there! LOL





It was fun to see McKell and Avery next to each other. It is so amazing how they are a day apart and so different. And little teeny tiny Parker who is 2 months younger than the girls.

Good times!
