Haapy Christmas

Ok, So I wasnt so good at writing all the time. Lets be honest The only people that read this I have been around a week anyway.
Brooklynn and I came up to Utah for Christmas, its been lots of fun. Shes been quite attached to her daddy and loves her aunts and uncles and can now point them all out in a picture. YEAH. She was fun Christmas morning, Santa got her a bean bag chair which she counts then jumps on and her grandparents got her a rocking horse which she likes to climb on and make it neigh.
Its been fun, had some snow which she just ate. Then we both got nice and sick.
We were supposed to fly out today but I called and canceled our flight to be oh so kind to others.. cause who wants to fly with a screaming child and a mom who's too tired to handle her? So now the question is.. When to fly home... ahhh I love trying to figure that out.
Hope you all had a very merry Chirstmas.. I sure did.
Oh and I got to talk to my sister who's out on her mission in Argentina.

Inspiration

playing at the beach in sept!

Well, I am looking for inspiration to keep up my blog. I am horrible at it. Probably cause Derek always has to computer and I take all my pictures with My dads camera, but those are just excuses. I also want to be more crafty but you have to have money and a place to store those things so I will just wait till I got my own place for that.
In the meantime..
We are up in Logan visiting Derek's family, they are sure happy to have Brooklynn around and we will even be up here for Halloween, even though she doesn't eat candy yet (yup I am on of THOSE moms who doesn't want her one year old eating suckers and candy). We are going to be pirates.. arrrrr. Brooklynn is working on her arrrrrs.. too cute. I will post pictures. I made her little costume all by myself.. yup all me.. my mom was there for moral support. I am defiantly going to miss having her around when we eventually move out.
I will try to keep up my blog from now on.. promise.. for now here are some kind-of recent pictures of our latest outings.

loved the fair.. and all the animals

My child has no fear of any animal.

Today

What I accomplished today:
A shower.
um...
well..
you see I did..

Yup that's it, Brooklynn has been sick sense Friday and I am starting to pull my hair out. Thought she would be getting better by now but I think today was by far the worst!

Oh well... There's always tomorrow

Me likey!

Find it here!

In the mood

I am on the mood to craft today. Not sure what to do or if I will ever have time to do it seeing as I am waiting my time on the stupid computer! The other problem is I Have no idea what to do, I was thinking of making a diaper bag cause I just cant seem to find on that I like then I realized its cause I want a Mary Poppins bag, one where everything just appears but doesn't take up a TON of space. I have a dress cut out for Brooklynn I really just need to go sew it but I find myself wanting to do something for me. started a skirt awhile ago and I have found that skirts with yokes don't fit me. I made the skirt my size and it fits made the yoke a size bigger and it doesn't.. hmmm I am confused, its too small! how lame. now I don't have the energy to figure out how to make it work. If anyone has any ideas let me know I am open for suggestions!

Maybe I should just go shoe shopping.. just a thought.

Brooklynn Stats.

Well today is her day. I took some pictures after her bath so we could remember how she looked today. She is 29.5 inches tall, and I think she weighs about 25 lbs. That's what the scale upstairs says every time i weigh her and I am a slacker and her shots aren't till the 9th of august.

Some of the this that she loves to do:
* walk.. everywhere. Sometimes just up and down the hall for no reason but to just walk and show me she can.
*swim. we can't take her by the pool are she starts to cry that she wants to get in.
*talk. she will just talk you ear off if you let her.
*read. haha she sits with her books and talks to herself its to darn cute.
* feed the cows. She says moo and point over to the cows and then to the tree for some leaves.
*play with Gus. Gus is Polly's dog and he sits there and takes her unconditional love.
*eat. but it has to be big girl food. no baby food, which is kind of hard sense she still has NO teeth. everyone keeps telling us they are on there way. Hopefully!

B's birthday

Eating cake!

As of tomorrow B will be 1 year old. Yup it was a year ago that I spent 3 painful days in the hospital.. Yup I still remember too all of you who say you forget your labors and that's why we have more kids.. Still remember the WHOLE thing.
Well on Saturday we had a party with family to celebrate her birthday it was lots of fun. We invited Derek's grandparents who live nearby and had a swimming party. B loves to swim. We had a good time and cant believe that our little girl is already 1, wow how time fly's by.
