Liliana is almost 2!

rl! These were taken by my Mom on Skype... I thought they were absolutely adorable. She just loves talking to Gam'ma on Skype!! I am so grateful that I can skype with my mom and that my daughter can build a relationship with her Grandma no matter how far away we live. Liliana is almost two and I just cant believe how big she is and how much she can do. She is so good at saying please and thank you and she is so loving to other kids. She loves to watch spongebob, play with her baby dolls, and even sits and lets mom do her hair. She wants to pick out her clothes and feed herself. She is so big and and independent.

October where did you go?

Wow October has come and gone in a blink of an eye! My family came at the beginning of October and helped us build a fence. The weather was not the greatest but we didnt let that stop us : ). Then we went to St. George with Javis for work. It was really cool to have 90 degree weather and palm trees. Then we got a puppy and then Halloween!! The puppy is for Liliana's 2nd birthday and she is in LOVE with him. We named him Jasper and even tho he is alot of work it is a great time to get him. We have a fence and Liliana is old enought to play with him and to really enjoy him. And for Halloween Lililana was a Ladybug or shall we say Lilibug!! She had a hard time at first understanding that she couldnt eat every peice of candy as soon as she got it, but once she got the hang of it she really enjoyed it!! By the end of the night she was carrying her pumpkin bucket and leaning to one side because it was so full of candy she could barely hold it.She got to go with our neighbor's little girl so that made it even more fun to be with her best little bud Brinlee! Even tho October has gone by so fast we did alot this month! Life is sure flying by fast but its a total blast!! Here are just a few pictures of our highlights for October...Enjoy

Peach Days

This was our second time going to peach days. We brought Liliana to the parade & straight after we went down to the rides. I think she really enjoyed it this year She is getting so big now and taking her to things like this and seeing her face light up is really special and means a lot to Javis and I. It was hot tho and we didn't last long but it was worth it and who knows it may become our new tradition : )

Our House

Our House September 2011

We have been working hard all year on our house. Javis did the sprinklers all by himself. He worked his butt of and I'm so proud of him. Then we planted our seed for our grass. Which wasn't as easy as it may seem. Our soil is so rocky and we really but a lot of work in making it level. Then we brought in gravel and planted 14 trees! We are eventually going to lay cement down over the gravel so we can have extra parking and a bigger space to play basketball : ). Our next project is going to be our fence. The plan is that my Dad is going to come down and help us build it next month. My Grandpa and Mom will also be coming down!! We are so excited. I'm so proud of how hard we have worked and how blessed we are to be able to get all of this done. We have just barely been in our house for a year so far.

Summer pics in Idaho

So summer is quickly coming to an end and I have hardly updated my blog!!

So its picture time.! here are just a few pictures of my trip with my Grandpa and Liliana up to Idaho to see my brother. : )

Holy June!!

I can not believe it is the middle of June already!! Where has time gone?
I got my wisdom teeth pulled in the beginning of May... I didn't get knocked out and they had to drill my jaw bone to get to my bottom two. So yeah it kinda stunk!! But I had my Mom here to help me with Liliana and to help out around the house. I am so thankful that she made the trip here to be with us during that time! I still cant believe tho that my mouth is not all the way healed ... getting your wisdom teeth pulled is a serious thing!! Luckily I have no more pain : )

Then towards the end of May we had our good friends Andrew & Megan Richards come stay with us for a night since they were in town. It was so good to see them and have them stay with us. A few days after they left Sherry and Gary came to visit us! It was so nice for them to be able to come and spend some time with us. We got to go do lots of fun things and enjoy the out doors a little bit. We went on a nice hike and got to take Sherry to Bear Lake which is so gorgeous! We also got to go to the crystal hot springs which was great fun too. We have never been out there, even tho it is only about 10 minutes from our house. Liliana did hurt her arm tho on our hike which was pretty nerve racking. Luckily her doctors office was still open and we were able to drive her straight there and they popped it back into place and she was almost immediately better.

We still have company tho because right now my cousin Rachael and her boyfriend Brian are here visiting us for a week. I'm so happy that she was able to come and see Liliana! She brought Liliana a huge stuffed Spongebob! And for all of you who don't already know ... Lili LOVES Spongebob. I will try to get some pictures up soon!

Liliana is getting so big and about a week ago we finally took her completely off her bottle. It was ruff at first and she still is only napping if she is laying with me... but she is doing REALLY good at night now : ) and we are so relieved. She is almost 19 months now and I cant believe how big she is. She loves other kids, she understands so much now, and is really starting to want to do everything on her own. We love her to death of coarse and I cannot imagine our lives with out her.

Easter 2011

We had a great Easter weekend and Liliana got to do her first Easter egg hunt with our neighbors. She didnt quite understand but had a great time anyways. My Mom sent her her 1st Easter basket and she had a blast going through and looking at all the toys. She kept saying "ooo" with her mouth in the shape of an O . It was so adorable!

Etsy- Lilybands

So lately I've gotten some new stuff on my etsy site : )

I have tu tu's for little girls and headbands with cute denim flowers! But whats getting me really excited is the new ear warmers I have on there. My Mom has been helping me out and I am so excited to finally have them on there... They have these adorable flowers on them and they look SO cute on!! I get so many complements on them. Check out my site every now and then... I'm always trying to put new stuff on www.etsy.com/shop/Lilybands

Yard Work!

We are currently working on putting in our sprinkler system. And by "we" I mean Javis!! He has gotten all the hard work done so now the rest should go by pretty fast. I am so thankful for him working so hard all day at work and then coming home and working in the yard on the sprinklers until the sun goes down. : ) The weather hasn't been very consistent so we haven't been able to go out and work every day... But last Saturday I went out and helped him while Liliana was napping and then when she woke up we all went outside and Liliana got to play in the dirt! She had a blast, even tried to eat dirt for the first time.... YUMMY : )
