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

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!!

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 :)

Almost over

So I am sad because my maternity leave is coming to an end in a couple weeks. I can't even think of anywhere else I would rather spend my days. I don't know how I am going to handle not being with Azlynn all the time!! Maybe soon I will be able to stay home with her, but for now I guess I will go back to work. Well in the mean time, here some some super cute pics of my love

Coolest hair do

She is too cute!

Her hair is getting long

Little smile

So here are some awesome pics of me that my bro so lovingly took. I think they bring out my natural beauty ha ha
