Seriously. How cute is she? She has been REALLY crawling now for a about a week. Before she would just 'scoot' everywhere. As parents- we couldn't be prouder! Now we just need to baby proof our house. Dang. Lucy update: Crawling as of 11/8/09 Sick last week. Slept with mom and dad everynight. No matter where we put her in our bed, she automatically rolls onto her left side and cuddles up with Tyler. It's so funny. And cute of course. She threw up for the first time yesterday. Not sick- just choked, and her whole lunch of peaches and oatmeal came up. She wasn't too excited about eating the rest of the day! (also- I didn't throw up cleaning up her throw up. Something i never thought would happen!) I'm sure I could think of more, but really she is just adorable. Talks all the time... mamamama... dadadada.... and waves. Even though I don't think she knows she's waving. We love you Miss Lucy!

that pretty much sums up our life this week so far! I got sick Halloween night. Lucy i think got sick the next day, but as of today is much worse. poor girl took 5 long naps today. her fever was at worst 101. if not better in the morning- we go to the doctor! But hey- she is 8 months old, and this is her first time being sick! ((Knock on WOOD!)) other than that... life goes on, and life is good!

Tomorrow is the big day! Do I have a costume yet? No. Am i worried? Yes. As to some other BIG news- my parents sold their house! Ah! (They have a lot in west kaysville, but until the house is built are renting down in those colorful farmington town homes- they have to be out December 1st.. it's kinda sad, yet exciting!) But along with this transition, they have a storage unit, and apparently that is where all the dress ups are! dang. that has been my costume headquarters for the past 5 years. or more. any ideas are welcome! Here is a peek a Lucy's costume..... She is a 'Cabana' Girl and won 3rd place at our ward party this week! So did my 'corn cake'. It's really supposed to be cornbread, but all it is is a cornbread mix mixed with a yellow cake mix. So really it's cake. Maybe thats why everyone liked it so much? Go figure. Life has been just fabulous lately! Tyler is busy busy with school. He is really wanting to get his MBA at one of the top ten school...

This past week was a busy one! I swear I either have nothing going on and I wonder to myself whatever am I going to do with myself all winter-- or I am super busy! I was in charge of a relief society breakfast Saturday, then my 'cheerios' were in charge of Sadies that night so we decorated for 4 hours, and then had the kickin' dance. The girls and their parents always do such an awesome job decorating! Their theme was 'Welcome to the Jungle'. Look how cute! They always take the 'Peer Tutor' class every year as well. Only a few of them came this year, but they always think it is SO cool to go to one of the dances! Lucy was not quite sure how she felt about the balloons. Loved them. And terrified. All at once. Lucy is now officially 8 months old! Ah! I can't believe my baby is so big! She is rolling all over the place, and has quite the little army crawl down now! She is trying SO hard to crawl, it's so cute. She stills sleeps so good- from about 9-9. ...

Hello hello! Last night the girls (and my dad...) saw Thriller! I haven't seen it for YEARS. I have been wanting to go for a while now, and wasn't let down... anything with dance is usually SO entertaining for me. LOVED it. The girls with a dancer.... Can-Can and I My dorky parents and Cheryl.... And in case you forgot... How cute is Lucy? I love her!

We enjoyed the fabulous weather up in Kaysville this weekend! It is always nice to spend time with both of our families (if you didn't know they live literally like 2 blocks from each other...) and I also got to go to dinner with my cute friend Megan , and me and Ty hung out with our good friends Porter and Erika . We did a whole lot of nothing all weekend and it was great. We did make it to the temple Saturday afternoon! Other than the lady 'sniffling' next to me throughout the whole session... haha.... it was great. I know some of you have probably heard me say this, but I would love to spend the night in the temple someday. I think it would be the best nights sleep ever!! What do you think? We are in need of cheap dates/activities. With Ty only working part time now and going to school full time.... and if you can even count my job a job... well... we're currently poor. But who isn't right? Anyway- Ideas for cheap dates? Friday, My mom, Candace and her friend Car...

Lucy is almost 8 months old. Crazy. Here are some recent random pictures of Lucy's life... Here she is doing her latest trick. It's usually more of a perfect 'push up' position, but she decided to stick her butt up in the air a little farther. She wants to crawl SO bad! she is so close- until then though, we'll enjoy her push-ups. Tub-a-lub-dub. Lucy in the tub. She LOVES those little bath toys I bought her. {Confession: tonight Lucy was getting in the tub with her dad like always, and I decided to join- making it a 'family tub'. If you have been in our bathroom, you KNOW our tub is not very big. Needless to say, Lucy had fun playing with mom and dad in the tub, and mom and dad had fun squirting each other with Lucy's toys. So much for not getting my hair wet...} My Keys may be the sole purpose Lucy learns to crawl. I thought Lucy always slept on her back.. I guess not! mamamamama and Lu-bean.

in case you didn't know.... today is columbus day. i didn't know. our bank is very inconveniently located in south provo- why we bank there? no idea. i made the trek down there, only to realize it was closed for the holiday. if the banks are closed- i think the schools should be too. what do you think? lucy and i had a wonderful day cuddling in bed in the morning- like always. doing laundry. She got buried in my sheets somehow- {those got thrown in last minute because she peed on them...} and just running errands. have i mentioned i love being a mom? its the best!

Yes, I know. the weekend is not yet over- but for some reason i have been on a blogging kick lately, and whatever, I'm just taking advantage of it so I will have some memories of my cute Lucy when she was little. Today we went over to Cheryl's Kyle's apartment to meet their cats. Lucy LOVES animals! This is 'Filbert'. He was terrified of Lucy after she grabbed him by the fur and tried to eat him. And this is Ziggy. She also wasn't too fond of Lucy, but just wanted her sparkly toy. She also played with her friend Sunshine this morning! We babysat her for like an hour or so. They are in our ward. They were so funny together. Lucy also got to play with her daddy. She LOVES him. and... last night we went to a thing at the institute. We had a speaker, dinner, and carving pumpkins. I really would go again, but i think we got the guilt trip of the century for not signing up for a class... Ooops. I know this is bad, but Tyler just does not have time for another class, a...

thank you neagle for my tie-dye onesie. I love it. Love, Lucy. So my Lucy is just darling. Last night my girls had a football game in Lehi... yes. Lehi High. How awful is that? Let alone- their dance team is called the 'Pionettes'- and I thought being a dart was a bad mascot? Anyway. Tyler had school, Cheryl had Parent Teacher conferences so I had to bring Lucy with me- (sidenote: they just changed the rules that now a coach cannot take their kids on the district buses, so the school officer also had to ride the bus with my cheerleaders.) So i meet the girls at the school, get them on the bus, follow them to Lehi, and then tyler calls me as im getting off the exit for lehi that he is now done with his test and can have lucy, too bad he drives an 88' honda accord that doesn't really work i the car... so i get there, wake Lucy up to put her in the stroller, and it's FREEZING. ah, so I walk over to the visitors side and decide its too cold for Lucy, so I then drive her...

I know I post SO overly many pictures of Lucy. But... I don't care. She is the cutest little girl ever! She is so so sweet. I love her rolling all over... getting stuck under the couch, and just trying so hard to move, but can't. She is the best baby ever... I fear having other children because she is so good! Trying to reach the camera! Sleeping all bundled up on our run the other morning. After the run. I love the color arrangement here. Haha. Reaching again. I love her concentrated face! New outfits from Grandma! I'm currently listening to 'Yeah' by Usher. Lucy is 'dancing' in her little jumper. It is so hilarious she loves it when I dance and sing for her. Some days I feel like I am putting on a broadway show all day long in my house! I always wanted to be a 'STAR' when I was little, I guess this is my shot! I think her favorite is when I dance to single ladies... If it wasn't SO weird- I would be Beyonce for Halloween. Maybe I can talk Tyler...

...Lucy is ready for you! And seriously... How cute is she? Thank you Angie/Nash for the jeans and shoes, and Amy/Blake for the cute vest! Yay for Fall! I love the cold. Unfortunately... Tyler does not.

I love the Autumn!! How cute is Lucy? She is 7 months old this week... She says DA DA DA DA... all the time.. growls... and even says Mama when she wants something! She is so adorable, and full of life! She is getting closer to crawling... but not quite.. she reaches for everything and one day I think she will get mad enough that she will start moving. We love her to death! At the park today...

Today Lucy got her first tooth! She has been extremely moody to say the least, and I seriously think has lost a couple pounds due to SNOT. She has just been leaking snot constantly, and if she sneezes. Well I wouldn't get to close to her! I was hoping she was teething, because I did not want her getting sick... (my couple cheerleaders getting swine flu made me nervous about her getting sick..) and thank goodness for the teeth! Because she has been so awnery she has like taken over our bed the last couple nights. She usually sleeps like a champ from like 10-7am, eats and back asleep until about 11am... the last couple nights not so much. As Lucy is sprawled out in the middle of our bed last night Tyler turns to me and says, "I just realized something.". I then respond.... "What?". He then says, "Well just that you are my princess, and Lucy is my Queen.". It is so true. I will readily admit that I am so spoiled... but I used to joke that I would be his ...

How cute is my little girl? She is now 6 months old. Sits like a champ! Plays with her toes. Has oatmeal twice a day, and veggies once a day, and I have also got really sick of nursing so I have snuck a bottle in there once a day as well. I think she might be starting to teeth. She sucks her thumb and/or fingers constantly. Trys to eat everything imaginable now, and has quite possibly the cutest laugh ever. We have so much fun with her. I love my little Lucy!
