Monday Quicky

Because of my commitments (explained in previous post), I have been TRYING to spend less time on the internet.....blogging included. However, because I do feel that it is important to document my family...here we are again!

I also haven't been getting out my big camera very much lately! The weather, even though it is relatively mild this winter, hasn't been inspiring me. You can only get so many 'shots' in the living room and kitchen! But I always have my phone on me and I am soooo grateful it has a camera. It is my little point-and-shoot that I take EVERYWHERE so I'm not missing too many moments. If you follow my instagram feed you see many of these.......they aren't as good of quality but they are good enough for who its for!


Millie has a friend, Layne, that gets to come over every Tuesday while his mom goes to school in St. George. They have soooo much fun playing and running around! Heck, he even blow dries her hair! Ha ha!


Charlie hasn't been neglected either in the photo department! She is still our little snuggle bug and the two of them are best friends......my opinion....every kid should have a dog!


Our little girl is getting so big! She has a pretty convincing ROAR whenever she sees a lion, tiger, bear, or dinosaur. She knows a lot of animals and their sounds including monkey, horse, sheep, goat, pig, duck, dog, cat, deer (even though they don't really make much sound), cow, and there are more...just can't think of them! She is converting down to just one nap a day now- somedays we still do the two but I think she is ready for the one! We can tell when she wants to watch the Lion King or her Your Baby Can Read videos cause she will either say 'iyon' (lion) or 'bubby' (baby). Her pronunciation of daddy, Charlie, and doggy tend to sound the same at times but usually we can tell what she is saying. We have REALLY been working on her saying please and thank you. She kinda squints her nose in a cute little way when she says 'pee' (please) and she has only signed thank you- she learned that one at day care. She will tell us when she has to go poop or when she has----its really not so cute in the middle of sacrament meeting when she shouts it over and over again! Ha ha..... we love to peek in the room while she is in nursery to watch her playing....she is just sooooo darn cute! We love her sooooo much! I hope she will always know that!


Love life.....

Colby is studying to take the GRE next week! I know he'll do great but he is pretty nervous and hopes he only has to take it once! I do too- him being stressed makes me stressed! My term has been a kicker so far- my Adv. Patho class that I was kinda excited for to learn more has turned out to not be very great! They are grading more on APA format than content and the lectures suck! So I'll be glad when this term is over in 6 weeks....but then I only have 1 1/2 weeks off before the next term cause the U of Cincinnati is switching to semesters next fall so they are CRAMMING the classes and terms in! NO fun----only 15 months left till I'm done- yes I am counting down already!
