Azzie and Jimmy Fallon

I was finally able to get a couple videos of Azlynn going crazy for her celebrity crush Jimmy Fallon! I think it is so funny how excited she gets. You really can't get the full affect if you don't see it in person, but you'll get the idea!!

Winter

The winter has been a very interesting season. Alzynn is getting smarter and bigger everyday. She is getting new interests and a lot of dislikes too. She has sprouted up over the last month, but she is still very petite. She loves people and she especially loves other kids. She never stops talking or moving!! She is keeping me very busy that is for sure. Other changes that are happening in our lives...... Tom's sister is moving in with us for a while because she got a job as a nurse in salt lake and so she is moving here from California! It will be stressful for her because her husband can't move here till may because he is still in school, but it will be an awesome opportunity for her!!  It will be nice having some of Tom's family so close especially because Azlynn will see them more. Christmas is coming up soon which I can't say that I am completely ready for it! I don't know where this year went. Soon it will be time for me to get pregnant again hahahaha!!!!! Christmas will be a great time to be with friends and family and to reflect on all the blessings we have been given this past year. I am excited for Azlynn to have her first Christmas and to get lots of fun books and toys. She absolutely loves Elmo and Jimmy Fallon hahaha! She loves anything that makes noise or has bright colors on it. She loves to dance, crawl, laugh, yell, jump, climb all over her mom and dad and she loves to chat it up with whoever or whatever will listen! She is going to be 1 in 2 months which I am sad and excited for! Sad for the obvious because she isn't going to be my little baby anymore, but excited because there will be so many new things that she will get to learn about and not to mention she will be off of formula woot woot!!! Here are some pictures and videos I have taken over the past few months

First time on a swing and she loved it!

Cute pony tail

Straightened her hair

Side view. She kind of has an A line

                                       

Talking in her sleep

So Azlynn has been talking and moving in her sleep a lot lately and I was able to catch it on video. At the beginning of the video she is asleep then when I try to get my phone closer, I wake her up. It's the cutest thing ever!!!

Also on the days that I work I have the pleasure of seeing the sunset and there are nights where it's breath taking! Our new work building has the best views of the valley so here are some pictures that I took on different days of the beautiful sky.

So Blessed!

My amazing husband has worked his butt off at work and it has finally paid off!! He just got promoted to a really great position that pays salary and gets health insurance! We haven't had insurance for 3 years now and it is the most uneasy feeling, but now we have it woop woop!! It especially feels good to know that Azlynn is covered so now she can get all her check ups done and I don't have to worry if she gets sick. On to different news...... Azlynn is growing so fast! She is coming up to a year old in 2 1/2 months, she will be walking soon and she is learning so much everyday! She is OBSESSED with sesame street and she also love Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (don't ask why she loves that one because I have no idea). She loves to eat, dance, scream, laugh and get into everything she can get her hands on. She loves Roxy, but I can't say that the feelings are totally mutual hahahaha!! I absolutely love this little girl!!!!

Family Pictures 2011

Here are some of my favorites! There are too many to put all the ones love, but a few should suffice :)

So beautiful!

Yummy apple

Haylie did an amazing job with these pictures especially with tom's facial hair hahahahaha!!

Family Pictures preview

We had the pleasure of getting our family pictures done for the first time since me and Tom and been married. It was super fun, but it was hard to get Azlynn to smile. She was so serious in all her pics, but she is still adorable! Here is a couple of the pics. I will post more when I get them

Fall

Fall has been a cold yet eventful season. I'm not entirely excited for fall because I know that winter is just around the corner, but I love the leaves changing colors!! Azlynn is now crawling all over the place and she loves to pull herself up on whatever she can get her hands on like the couch, our ottoman, or even Roxy hahaha! She will be walking so soon! She also has 2 teeth which are freakin sharp so you have to keep your fingers away from her mouth!! She is working on getting her top teeth in and it is so scary when I have to put origel in her mouth. We'll see if I keep all my fingers until she is done teething. We recently went to the Heber Creeper for the first time and it was pretty fun. It will be lots of fun to go when Azlynn and her cousins are older to enjoy it more. We also just celebrated Halloween and Azzie was a cow hahaha! She was the cutest cow ever. She had her first taste of candy and she was in heaven! Azlynn is almost 9 months old which means I should seriously consider planning her birthday party because it will be here before we know it!

She is so mad!

Mom, dad and a little bit of Carea at the Heber Creeper

Down for the count

Tom's Birthday month!

Monday was Tom's birthday and he turned 28!! Wowza he is getting up there! Anyways his family came up and visited him this last weekend and it was super fun! We went to yummy Tacanos for lunch on Saturday and walked around the shops. Then we went to squaw peek (just for the views haha) and showed his parents the valley. It was super beautiful up there and Azlynn loved it. Then Monday we went with my family and ate at Smash Burger! It's our favorite burger place (it is sooooo delicious) and then got ice cream. It was a fun little weekend, but it was super busy so it by really fast. This weekend we will hopefully be getting our family pictures done so I will post some pics of those when they get done. Here are some pictures from the weekend

Dewayne, Laurie, Azlynn and Tom

What's been going on......

This summer has been so much fun! We have been able to watch Azlynn grow and experience all sorts of new things. She has been hanging with her cousins a lot at the pool and the splash pad. Azlynn is such a water baby! She will stay in the water till she starts shivering so I will take her out then she will cry for me to put her back in!! Crazy girl!! She has started to army crawl and she is still trying to figure out her knees, but I'm sure she will be crawling normal in no time!! She gets where she wants to go! She loves power cords so if she see's one she fly towards it and try to chew on it! She keeps me on my toes that is for sure! She now says dada and momma (she said dada first gosh dang it) and she will try to sing with me when music is on (more like yells and makes cute sounds). She is such a chatter box!!! She is now eating baby food. She loves her veggies!! She has just started to try out fruit, but so far she is loving them too. She is getting so fast at grabbing things when you least expect it. Who knew little babies could be so quick! As for her parents, Tom will be 28 this month!! Wowza he is getting old muwahaha! He has given up video games (believe it or not) and he is trying to get back in school. I have been hiking a lot with my parents which has been such a peaceful treat for me on the weekends. I have been working and catching up with old friends. I have gone pretty blonde lately and I have actually grown to love it! This summer has been amazing and now I'm excited to see what's in store for us this fall!!

Sleeping with the coolest hair-do 

This is Azlynn chattin it up before she gets her foot caught under the couch :(

Happy Half Birthday

Azlynn is 6 months old! She is well on her way to being 1. I should start planning her birthday now because it will be here before I know it! What Azlynn has learned in her 6 months of life: She knows how to fake laugh, she rolls around the house, she sucks on her big toe, she cries cause she knows her daddy will pick her up, and she loves carrots and peas! She has such a personality now and it is so much fun!! Happy half birthday little girl!!

6 Months Old

First time I saw Azlynn

A few minutes old

I didn't know what I was in for ;)

Feeling very free!

Today I woke up feeling that life is great! I have a healthy baby, wonderful husband and great friends! Some people try to bring us down, but I am to the point in my life that if someone doesn't support my family and the decisions that we make then I don't want to surround myself with them. I have too many wonderful people that I am constantly surrounded with that I have no need to dwell on the ones that bring negative feelings. Life is too short and I have too much at stake these days.

Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

 I try to live my life this way because God is constantly forgiving me for my sins so I will forgive the people that do wrong to me and my family, but that doesn't mean that you have to except them back into our lives. In other news this summer has been very eventful. We have been going to the pool a lot which Azlynn loves! She is gabbering away in her own language and she will probably be crawling soon.

Little cutie!

Work oh work!

She loves her bumbo

Watching 'Up'

She wiggles her way over to me every morning

Buddies

New favorite toy. Before

After

Growing hair

I officially went back to work! It sucks but I will survive. Tom doesn't mind the extra income plus he gets to spend more like with his little girl. I now appreciate the time that I am home with Azlynn cause I feel like I am always away. She is growing up so fast. She will be rolling from her back to her stomach any day now. I am still waiting for her to laugh!!!! She refuses to smile for any pictures so one day I will get her big beautiful smile on film. She has a new favorite toy that she goes crazy for. She is starting to jump all the time when you hold her which tires my arms out, but it's good exercise for me. She now hates being contained by her car seat, but once she is in the car she is cool with it. She is such a free spirit and a go getter. She is getting such an attitude which I know will only get worse :)
