..Sitting up..

Here are some pictures I have taken of Maicie lately. She is getting so big and doing something new everyday it seems! She is getting really good at sitting up and she rolls over really well that is makes me nervous! She can only play on the floor now because she will roll off everything else. I can already tell she is going to be into everything and keep me on my toes at all times! She has never been easy but I am honestly scared of what's to come! I love watching every little move she makes though. I love watching her learn something new or try something new like crawling when she gets over on her belly. She tries so hard it frustrates her and she just throws a little fit! She has the most adorable laugh I have ever heard. I never knew something so small like her laughing would make me so happy! She laughed for the first time the day after Halloween and I got tears in my eyes! "Everything makes me cry lately though!" I don't have to work so hard to get a laugh out of her now. Sometimes if I just look at her funny she will giggle! I love being a mom. It is more and more rewarding everyday. I have always loved my mom so much and she is my best friend in the whole world, but I think I have found a whole new appreciation for her since I have become a mom myself! It is a lot of work but it pays off everyday. I always end up talking about such emotional things to me..I don't know why! I'm such a cheese ball! So anyway here are the most recent pictures. I have so many I don't really know what ones to put on. I should just do a million pictures and no writing. Then you wouldn't need to read my cheesy stories!

Look at those Cheeks!
..Bundled up..

My Husband is FINALLY Home!

{Picture above is the night we got engaged in Sundance. I had no clue he was going to ask me to marry him...I would have worn something else if I would have known... if you knew me you would understand!!! But it was perfect!}

I just wanted to write and say how thankful I am to finally have Jason home again! Everyone that knows us well knows that he has been working in Vernal for a while now. I think it has been about two months or so..."TOO LONG that's all I know!" It has been a long two months but we were so blessed that he was able to work up there for most of this winter. His kind of work in Utah is hard in the Winter. We thought we would be heading back to Arizona for the winter to work, but he got moved to Vernal so it worked out that way. He lived in a hotel during the week and would come home on the weekends. Those were long weeks! I think I missed him so much I just thought it was bad for me...but I think he didn't like it just as much! Maicie and I stayed with him for a few days up there but its too hard to live in a hotel with a baby for one, and there is not much to do in Vernal I soon found out! I think Wal-Mart was the biggest part of our little outing there! So most of the time Maicie and I stayed at my parents house, and when I wasn't too afraid we would sleep home! My family helped with Maicie a lot when I would stay there, my brothers were really good with her. My brother Nate was so sweet when he would get home he would just want to hold her and tell me he missed her! I appreciated all the help I could get. I felt like a single mom! "I don't know how they do it!" So thanks to all my family who took care of us while Jason was away! It was fun to be with my mom all day again, but so nice and exciting to have my husband back! So Jason got of the negative degrees in Vernal and now will be in Mapelton! YEAH! That's the most exciting part...he will only be five minutes away from home. That will be the shortest drive he has ever had to go for work since we've been married. I have been so jealous lately when I see everyone with their husbands...they don't know how lucky they are! I sound like he went off to war and I am thankful it wasn't that because I couldn't handle that one bit! I was so worried of him driving here and back during the winter in those canyons! "But I am the most paranoid person around!" Well it's all over with.."I hope!" And I am just so so so happy he is home with Maicie and me again, because we missed him so much and I just wanted him to know how thankful I am of everything he does for us! He is such a hard worker and the best husband and dad in the world! We love you!

"I am all out of walls!"

These Pictures were supposed to be on that last post but I messed up...Imagine that! I am not too good at this blogging thing! I think I like looking at all my families and friends more than I like to do my own! At least I finally put some Christmas pictures to go with the Christmas background that I had Halloween pictures on! So these are for Brittney...I finally did it!

A Late CHRISTMAS update!

This year for Christmas we stayed in Utah, we had a few Christmas parties with family and a Christmas Eve dinner at my parents house that they always have. It was fun to be home since we have Maicie now...It makes it a little more exciting! It will only get better each year when she learns what it is and that it means a whole bunch of new toys and clothes! I think this year it was just fun for Jason & me to see what she thought of all of it! But she just wanted to eat the wrapping paper! It was so fun to go to the toy store and buy toys for the first time...I think I like them more than Maicie! We opened presents at our house first and then went to open presents at my mom and dads with my family "We woke them up!" I remember when I was little and my brothers and I would be so excited we would wake up in the middle of the night and we would really open presents at three or four in the morning..as long as it took us to wake up our parents. "Those were the days!" I can't wait till my kids do that, it will make Christmas exciting again! I sound like I don't like Christmas, but I do! I think I just get more excited to decorate for it and buy things for my house now than actual Christmas morning. Anyway back to this Christmas...At my parents house was where most of our presents were. I had to hide Jason's there because it was stuff for his motorcycle and I couln't have hid them here. So it was pretty exciting to give him stuff for his motorcycle because I knew I couldn't go wrong with stuff like that, "because that's all he ever wants!" Maicie was spoiled with tons of toys and tons of clothes, and she didn't even realize it! I love buying her clothes..way more than for myself. I can't go to the mall without buying her something! I am bad..I have NO CONTROL! Between things we got from our parents and each other we got a new desk and printer that I am so excited about, because that is what I wanted. "I hope Jason did too!" I get a bit more excited for any kind of furniture than he does! And then clothes, shoes, and stuff for our house! So Santa was good to all of us, we had a really fun Christmas! I hope everyone had a good Christmas too! I realized we only have pictures of Maicie on Christmas so here are a few! She is still just getting bigger and bigger and since I never blog she always looks so different! She is just about six months now! I can't believe it!

That little toy she is trying to eat made me

laugh so hard, I had to have it! It makes the funniest

little laughing noises when you touch it that it makes me

laugh just as hard!
