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!!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
