Lovin' Idaho

So at the beginning of this month Liliana and I got to go up to Idaho and visit family and friends!

We had such a great time!! Liliana got to go to a pet store and see a parrot and lots of puppies and birds and kitties and fishes... all for the first time! She also got to go on the boat with my parents for the first time.. and she loved it!!

My brother was home as well and it was great to see him... he has changed so much and I am so very proud of him. Liliana got completely spoiled while we were up there but I didn't expect anything different : ) She was almost 11 months old while we were up visiting. She just turned 11 months on the 19th of this month and she has started walking!! And has four teeth on top and two on bottom! She loves any kind of food we are willing to share with her and she loves to play with anything that is not a "baby toy" lol. She loves to read and will sit and read her books to herself : ). She is in a big girl cars seat now... sitting forward and loving it!! She defiantly has her own personality and is a little bit of a screamer : ) but she is so much fun and I absolutely love this stage!

I cant believe that she will be 1 year old in less then a month!! I gotta get on that birthday planning : ) I wish that all of our friends and family could be here for her birthday! But we are so grateful and SO excited that my parents are gonna make it!! I hope she enjoys her cake : ) I will defiantly blog about it.

Peach Days!

So last weekend was Peach Days in Brigham City. They have a parade and big car show on Saturday and all weekend starting Friday they have rides, booths, and tons of food. We had the most delicious peach cobbler... I cant wait until next year to have it again! On Saturday we met up with our good friends Edward and Diomara for the parade and a fun day of walking around : ) It gets exhausting fast and it was pretty hot out but we still had a blast. Last year we missed peach days because we were up in Idaho visiting. So this was our very first time : ) We all had a blast!!

Check it out

Lately I have been working hard to get all the big and small things done that I have wanted to do for so long : ) We have been so busy moving thats it hard to get everything back to normal.

As you can see I changed the blog all around got up our family pictures that turned out SO great! And I have been super busy cleaning up and organizing this huge house : ) Im so use to my aparartment! Liliana is also so busy right now and hates me doing anything but playing with her : ) She is so much fun! Anyways I have gotten some time to work on my crafts... so that means new things on Etsy!! Yay. Check it out! I dont have everything up but should by tomorrow. Thanks

Fun at the park

Yesterday after dinner we went out to the park.

I didn't get a whole lot of pictures but it was absolutely beautiful outside especially when the sun set. It makes you appreciate all the things you have : ) It was a little windy outside but the breeze felt nice with the heat. Liliana's hair is so cute in the wind and we always get a good laugh : )

Meow Meow

So now that Liliana has mastered crawling around I am slowly learning what I already knew. I have to move things off the floor : ) No matter where I place Wickers food in the Kitchen she finds it ... but it does look pretty fun!!

8 Months

Here are just a couple pictures that I took with my phone in the past month. We have been busy moving and Liliana has been such a trooper : ). The day she turned 8 months she took off crawling and now she is all over the place. As soon as she sees what she wants she just goes and gets it! She loves to chase Wickers around the house and I think it keeps him entertained as well!! She is also pulling herself up on things... only to her knees but still she amazes me : ) She is so much fun and I love being able to stay home with her!! We have such a blast. And she has so much more room in our new house!! She will be 9 months old in about a week and I just cant believe how fast time has gone by.

Its True !!

So lately I havent been the best blogger. But July has been busy for us. We had Uncle Jehkiah come visit. We had the fourth of July, my 21st birthday, liliana's first time in the pool and at a zoo, our anniversary (4years together-2years married). And then we had to deal with our lease ending the first week of August. So on top of everything this month we have made a very exciting decision...

We bought our first home!! And we are doing our official walk through today and it should be closing by the end of this week. And then we will be moving in!!! We are so excited. It is a beautiful home, its brand new,1800 sq feet and just everything we have ever wanted. It has a huge back yard for Liliana and it is still in Brigham City so its close to everything we know and close to Javis' work. We are sad to leave the complex because we have made such wonderful friends. But we know we will stay close and still continue to do things together.!

This is something that we have always talked about and now we are at that point in our lives where we are able to. We have been busy packing and just cant wait!! Thank you for all those of our friends and family who have been excited for us : ) We love you all and we are thankful for all of you have been so helpful in our move!!

Liliana & Wickers

Liliana has learned how to play with Wickers just by watching Javis and I. She is so smart and she just loves playing with him! Wickers is always very gentle with her and doesnt seem to mind if she's playing with his toys. : ) So CUTE!!

Up & Down

Liliana is now seven months and is doing so much! She is trying so hard to crawl and she can get around by scooting and army crawling a little. Its so funny cuz I'll set her down and somehow she gets to the complete opposite side of the room! She is so much fun and loves to talk and play with all her toys! We love her to death!!

6 Months later

Six months have past and I cant believe that my little girl is six months old going on seven! She is so much fun and we always have a blast. She is sitting up now and is enjoying her tummy time and trying to crawl. I know it wont be long until she is crawling around the house. She is enjoying her juice in her sippy cup and is just growing up faster then I could have ever imagined! Now I know how my parents felt... : )

We are staying busy and enjoying life. Its getting warm here finally and we have been taking advantage of the warm weather. Javis has been pretty busy with work and has been out of town three or four times within the last month. I have been busy with Liliana and hanging out with good friends. We are going up to Idaho on Friday so I will defiantly update the blog when we get back. We have a lot of plans for our trip up there so we will be very busy. My brother is graduating (which means lots of family parties), we are going to tri-cities, we are getting professional pictures taken of Liliana and all three of us together, and then we are seeing my brother off to the military. And hopefully we can take one of those nights and have a little get away date : ) All of that in one week! wow its making me tired just thinking about it! Anyways we are excited and cant wait to see everyone!

P.S. I couldn't just pick a couple pictures. She has the cutest smile

1st Mothers Day

I had the best Mother's Day EVER!
first I woke up and Javis had made party hats for him, Liliana, and Wickers and they were all wearing them : ) and Javis had made me my favorite breakfast ... French Toast! And then I got the most thoughtful gift! I got a beautiful charm bracelet and there are four charms...
one with little foot prints and Liliana's name and birthday.
One with a picture of Liliana and on the back it says "mommy's Lilibug"
one that says our marriage and the date we were married.
one that has a little wedding ring and a heart connected that says the date we were engaged!!
I love it so much and it will always be dear to my heart!! Thank You baby, you are truly the best husband! Then we went to church and after church we went to the park with our friends Edward & Diomara and there adorable little boy Xavier. We had a picnic at the park and played the rest of the day!
I am thankful for my beautiful little girl and for my husband, and I am thankful for the wonderful friends we have made here in Utah!

Surprise

So about a month ago I set Liliana in her vibrating seat and was on the phone with our insurance. She loves that chair and always just chills in it ... I had to go in the other room because I was having trouble hearing the lady on the phone. And then all of a sudden something hit me.... she was unusually quite... because normally when she's in the chair she loves to coo- : )
Sooo when I walked back into the living room this is how I found her!!

She has officially learned how to get out of the seat... now she does it almost every time we put her in there! She turns over and then uses her hands and feet to maneuver her way out. She is SO close to crawling!!
OH man I just love that smile!!

5 months

Wow I am completly behind... She is almost 6 months and I am finally getting her 5 month pictures up : ) She changes so fast and is such a happy baby!!

Best Buds

Every time I come up to Idaho I always have to get together with my best friend Amanda. As most of you know Liliana was born November 19th and Amanda's little boy Landon was born December 19th. Ever since I met Amanda we always joke that our lives follow the same pattern and this is just another thing we have in common. Liliana and Landon love each other and I always have to get pictures of them together. The first two pictures are from last month when I was there and the bottom two pictures are from the month before last. I miss Amanda so much and I wish that we could see each other a lot more. She has been a true blessing in my life and I am so happy to have her in my life!

Four Months!

So Lilibug is four months old! There is such a difference between three months and four months it is amazing! She has learned how to roll over from her stomach onto her back, she is eating baby food now and so far bananas are her favorite, she is grabbing things that are in front of her and once she has them in her hand she just has to stick them in her mouth, and she is really aware of her surroundings and loves to smile! She is sleeping through the night and is really learning that sleeping flat on her back isn't as bad as she may of thought. She loves other kids and finds it fascinating that there are other people that are small just like her
: ) She is just a lot of fun!!
