All about HER!

This post is all about Alyssa! I am having so much FUN with this little girly girl!! She is a huge mama's girl and I just love it! Since she looks the most like David I know that he has a little bit of spoilness for her. She is a cuddler and will just suck her finger. It's too cute not to take out.

Alyssa will be 14 months this month and I can't hardly believe it!! My baby will be a toddler soon! All 4 molers are coming in and one is about to poke through. That will be nice for her to use when food is in her mouth. She goes down stairs when she's on them, but she's kind of stuck at the top because she hasn't figured out that she has to turn around to get down. So she will stick out her hands and scream and when I go get her she waves her fingers. It's so cute! Cameron adores her and I have hundreds of pictures of Alyssa on our camera, all because of Cameron taking them! Here are a few...





I think that she likes it too. She is a great poser! Alyssa is starting to catch on to the whole walking thing. It's so much fun to watch. She is getting more confident too. Here is a video of her taking a few steps. The boys are cheering her on!

Yup, it's our last year. Those hours seem just about right. It's so hard with them gone. All my family babysitters are home for the summer too, double whammy.
Alyssa is so cute walking. Alaina is a rolling machine. I wish she wasn't so mobile just yet.

So cute..my daughter Brooke sucks the same finger and yeah i think it's cuter than sucking a thumb. Babies just grow so fast..you almost want to pause time for a while to enjoy it longer. NO wonder why we keep having kids!!

New Year New Goals

Today is January 1, 2025. A lot has happened since I last wrote. But one of my goals this year is to journal more and this is where I want to share. This has been a really hard, miraculous and joyful time for us. I am grateful for good health. That has been a blessing for our family! David has been working on his own for the past 1.5 years. He has been writing code to create an A.I. bot that will speak to you. In different languages soon too! This has been a time of a lot of late nights. Lonely times. David works from home but interaction with each other is small. This has been very hard for us and I don't know what normal looks like anymore. Communication for us has always been hard and this has made it 10xs harder. There is never a cut off time for work. David is back to getting 2,4,6 hours of sleep every night. The pull to provide is something I don't know how to feel he is experiencing. So I just try to support him how I know how. Stay out of his way and l...

Thankful

I am so thankful for my family today. They mean everything to me!  We are celebrating Thanksgiving with just us again this year. I have come to embrace and love everything about it. I have rallied the troops in helping prepare the food. Jenna made a blueberry pie, Alyssa made banana pudding jello, Jason prepared the turkey and broth for the gravy with the turkey neck, Melanie made the stuffing, Cameron made a chocolate pudding pie. I fill in the holes and make the rest. It is really fun and the kids love helping to prepare!  We have so many blessing to be thankful for. The biggest being the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our knowledge of the Plan of Salvation, and the true joy of the gospel.

Yard Overhaul

I was so excited...memorial day weekend=David for 2 whole days!! So what did I have planned? Work that I couldn't do alone. The kind that required a real man. I'll just mention that David did not hold the same excitement as I did when Saturday morning came, but of course being the good husband he is, he got the job done. First, David went to Home Depot to rent a chain saw, a very dull one I might add. The trees in the back yard weren't standing for long. A very messy apple tree, a cherry tree that didn't produce anything and 4 small, scraggly trees that were in terrible spots. The yard looked so much better, and bigger after taking those out. I won't be picking up rotten apples this year!! While David was busy getting the chainsaw at home depot, I was busy working on the "rock garden". The rocks are on a small u-shaped hill and buried. I always had to weed eat around them and they were just a pain. I couldn't take it anymore. So the kids a...
