PIG TAILS



Are these not the cutest PIG TAILS you’ve ever seen! I just love them!



This girl takes after her momma! I usually eat doughnuts and a coke for breakfast unless it’s watermelon season, for some reason I can’t get enough watermelon! I love how happy she gets when she sees the doughnuts!

A BIG MESS BUT SO WORTH IT


As much as I love being a mom there are days when I just need a 20 minute break. Sweet Livvi loves to follow me EVERYWHERE I go, I don't even get a bathroom break. So lately I have been letting her feed herself because it usually gives me 20-30 minutes to get some things done. Yes the mess is huge but it make us both happy!

Our Annual Bike Ride



So Phil and I bought bikes a couple years ago and I swear we rode them at least 5 times before they started collecting dust, what a waste! So we decided to get them tuned and buy Livvi something to ride in. So here it is, our annual bike ride! Livvi loved it, it put her right to sleep!

SWIM LESSONS



Livvi is loving the water, twice a week I take her to Aqua Tots where we have a 30 minute swim lesson along with three other little "Tadpoles". Since Livvi is going to be spending a lot of time in Suni's pool this summer I thought we better get her swimming. She loves being dunked and singing all the cute little songs, I sure enjoy getting to do this with her! I have a feeling we are going to have a little mermaid on our hands!

Easter Sunday


Livvi has just starting walking here and there so we were excited to put some eggs out and see what she would do. Once she figured there was candy in the eggs she was all over it. This girl loves candy. I honestly think when she goes to Aunt Suni's house little Grace and her will sneak all the candy they can find. We had so much fun playing on the grass watching Livvi play with her easter basket. We had such a sweet day other than I had to work about 12 hours that day too. I was just glad to get a little time to spend with my family!

Today is Livvi's first Birthday, where has all the time gone! Livvi is just the sweetest little baby you will ever find. I sure have enjoyed being her mother and watching her learn and grow this past year. She is always happy and so fun to be around. She is busy busy busy, this girl is always on the go! Her favorite food is blueberries and she loves chocolate. Her favorite toy is her blender, she is getting so good at putting her shapes inside it too. She normally ends up in bed with me around midnight which is not a good thing but for the past three weeks that's what we have been doing. She is standing really well and walking around the couches but no first steps yet. Her first word was dada and mama came soon after that. She definitely knows what the word NO means and gives you a cute grin and crinkles her nose when you say it. This past Saturday we had a little birthday party for her and she totally knew it was HER DAY! We just had family over because of all the craziness in our lives right now but I must say it was just perfect! She just looked adorable! I just knew she was going to make a mess out of the cake but she didn't, I was surprised! We had so much fun hanging out with my family and Livvi sure did enjoy all the attention! I just love this girl! I love that I get to be her mom! She is just the best thing in the world and I love each and every day of it!

The Birthday Cake

Livvi just had her 9 month follow up, she will be 11 months old next week but what can I say...I'm just glad we got it over with, those shots are hard on the both of us! Actually Liv is so tough she usually gives me a sad look and then she is over it. They said she was 22lbs but I swear when I pick her up she feels at least 50lbs and she is 28.75 inches long, she was 75% with height and weight. She is growing up so dang fast and I'm loving every new stage but hate that she is almost one, where does the time go?

This sweet girl is always on the go, the other day I came down the stairs and she was waitng for me half way, I had no idea she knew how to climb stairs yet. She has also been known to climb out of her high chair and stand on top of her tray, always on the go, happy and keeping things exciting, gosh I just love this girl! I feel so blessed to have her in my life. When I look at her she makes me feel like I can make it through anything! We had the best day together, lots of playing, laughing, eating, a little crying and some more laughing...this is what life is about!

Livvi and I had such a great time in Show Low over Christmas! It was so fun to be around family and friends and just take a break from all the worries of life and enjoy a week of hanging out and not worrying about what to do and where to be. Livvi LOVED all the attention she was getting. What a joy she has been in my life, I am so thankful to be her mom and get the opportunity to watch her grow! I am so thankful for my sweet sweet parents and all they do for us and such GREAT siblings! I wish we could all get together more often. 2009 was a blessing because Livvi came into our lives but I sure am hoping to put this year behind and have a fresh start for 2010!

Livvi has been standing for the past month, she is getting so good at it. Over Christmas week she had so many people cheering for her every time she would stand that I think it has helped her to stand longer. She can stand for about 20 seconds now and she just LOVES the attention she gets when she does it. The other night she stood up and me, Casi and my mom started clapping for her so she started clapping and turning her head to she could look at all of us...it was the cutest thing!







Its a tradition in our family to make RAVIOLIS and either eat them on Christmas Eve or Christmas day, they are so yummy! My mom is italian and so she has carried on that tradition and we love being in the kitchen to help.



Messy Girl!!!

I was so excited to get decorations for our tree this year, I had such a fun time doing it! The only way I could get her to sit still by the tree was to put her on top of the presents.

Ok so I was wanting to get Livvi's picture with Santa but never did because I wasn't sure if she was going to freak out! When I was pulling into my driveway I saw my neighbor dressed as Santa so I jumped out and asked if we could get a picture. The only thing is this Santa came all the way from India, lol!

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!
