THANKFUL

Since it's November I thought it would be fun to post a list of things that I am THANKFUL for...most on a daily basis and others just every now and again, with these things they make my life just a little bit SWEETER!

SONIC!!! I'll take a half REGULAR, half DIET COKE filled to the top with ICE please!


If you run into me this winter you will probably see me in my most favorite AG SKINNY JEANS, these are a must have! They don't even have a zipper to zip or a button to button, it's great! Oh how I wish they made them in black!

NORDSTROMS, my favorite place to SHOP! Best return policy you will EVER find, oh wait they don't have one!

ANTHROPOLOGIE, my second favorite place to SHOP!


~NIELSONS CUSTARD~
LOVE LOVE LOVE the CONCRETE with RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES and ROASTED ALMONDS! My dad got me hooked on this custard/ice cream! It didn't even sound good when he ordered it for me but so YUM! This is a must have!

~WHITE CHOCOLATE GRILL~
If you are looking for the PERFECT place to EAT and you want my opinion...this is where I would send you! Every bite is HEAVEN! I always start off with the FOUR CHEESE SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP, then onto the WCG HOUSE SALAD, then the PARMESAN CRUSTED FILET with the HONEY ROASTED CARROTS (by the way they melt in your mouth) and if you think you don't have room for another bite OH YES YOU DO...THE WHITE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE is AMAZING!

SO MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!!

8 months old, I can't believe it!

Livvi is ALWAYS on the go, I swear she never stops! After church today I could of sworn I ran a marathon, sometimes I wonder why I even go because I feel like I don't hear a thing. And I laugh to myself because we only have one baby, I can't imagine the stress when we have a few more. But I must say it is TOTALLY worth it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Birthday to Gabe!

Livvi got invited to her first birthday party so we packed our bags and headed to Sedona for the weekend, we had so much fun! Kortney, my dear childhood friend had her little boy Gabe October 27, 2008, its been so fun to reconnect and get our kids together and play.

I love all the little rolls!

I don't know why it took us so long to get Livvi a highchair but we finally did and now I am wishing we would of done that so much sooner! She just loves to sit there and make a mess. Its so fun to see her really focus on grabbing her food and trying SO hard to get it in her mouth. She is so not into her veggies and that makes me sad because I worked so hard on making my own baby food so it would be all natural but she loves apple sauce, peaches, puffs, licorice (oh what a mess), gummy worms and I'm sure all the candy in the world if I would give it to her! Its so fun to see the look on her face when she gets a taste of sugar!

CHUBBY CHUBBY

Are these not the cutest little feet ever! They are so dang CHUBBY I just love it but it stinks because she can't wear shoes, they just don't fit without cutting off all circulation!

What A Mess But Sooo Worth It!!!

The other day I gave Livvi a teething biscuit and boy what a mess but she just loves them!

So I have to admit that I am having a hard time with how fast Livvi is growing up! The other day someone asked me how old she was and I lied, I know that is horrible but for some reason I just couldn't say 7 months, that just sounds way to old! But what a fun stage she is at, she is pulling herself up, crawling and sitting up...this girl is always on the go! The other day I heard her crying so I went up stairs and it was the cutest thing ever...her little head was peeking over the crib, as frustrating as it is I just think it is so cute! I just love this girl so much, she is just so happy and sweet pretty much all of the time. She is so curious and is always checking people out. She can really stare you down if you have white hair, she prefers that you keep your distance! Its sad and funny all at the same time.

SEYMORE 2009

I thought it would be so fun to get the family together and do a campout, we had so much dang fun I almost didn't want to come home! I sure hope we can make this an annual tradition! The weather was great, we played lots of games, ate too much yummy food and the kids had a blast being able to roam around and explore things they had never seen. It was so fun to sit around the camp fire and laugh and talk together as a family, what great memories we made!!!

Welcome to Parenthood...not sure I like this part so much!!!

Well last night Phil and Livvi headed to the grocery store while I was still at work. Suni called me at work and I told her I was in a middle of a case and couldn't talk. She said not to scare you but Livvi had fallen and she is bleeding really bad. Oh my gosh I just panicked...my baby was bleeding! Phil couldn't get a hold of me so he called Suni and she told him to take her to the urgent care. I guess Phil was carrying her around and set her in the car seat on top of the shopping cart to grab something and then all of a sudden he heard this loud smack! Livvi had fallen about 5ft right on her poor little face and started bleeding out of her nose and mouth. Phil rushed her to the urgent care and the doctor looked at her for maybe 5 minutes and said she was fine...what, who are you??? We didn't feel comfortable with the care that we recieved so we went home and gave her a blessing and headed for the ER at Desert Hospital. They got us in quick and she got a CT of her head and then we waited 3 long hours with the most nasty, smelly people you could ever find. Where do these people come from??? Anyway all is good, the CT looked good and off we went 4.5 hours later. What a blessing! Thanks for all the prayers and fasting we really appreciate it!

Do you think the head band that I just took off is a little small??? Poor thing!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!

Livvi is sure lucky to have such a great daddy, he just adores her! It is so cute to watch them play together. Phil just soaks it up when people notice Livvi, he is one proud dad! We were laughing so hard when she spit up all over him. There is one thing Phil does not do well with and that is spit up. He can't stand to be dirty. He went straight upstairs and washed his hair!

Starting to sit up all my herself!!!

So I have been trying to introduce some new foods to Livvi now that she is 6 months and I must say she doesn't want anything to do with it. As you can see she is not starving so I am not too worried for now. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 7 weeks, yeah I know I totally lucked out, but for now I am just going to wait a little longer and then try it again. It was important to me to make all her food. So thanks to my mom and her garden that is where I have been getting all my veggies. Thanks to my BEABA baby cook from Williams Sonoma it sure makes it a lot easier! My mom did the same thing for us kids so I feel like I should try and carry that on.
