Bridger taught Lilly how to do this-

 ....or something similar.

On occasion, Lilly has a really bad night and wakes me up several times.  One one of those nights, I decided to just put her in bed with me.  I woke up the next morning with Lilly saying "Mom Mom Mom".  I opened my eyes and she was leaning over me with a face similar to this.  I was so tired but had a good laugh.  I wish I could have seen the thought process behind a 15 month old doing that.

(I'm off to bed.  I don't think that made a bit of sense.  It's midnight and we've had a lot of late nights this week.  If I get around to it I will edit it.  But most likely it will stay)

Sweetest thing ever!   I love them.

A few more random shots

Lilly the Mess Maker

This little angel

Can quickly turn into a little ___________

She loves to throw food...even when she is starving.

Bridger is actually taking cover from flying noodles.  This is a picture of my floor after every meal.

Catching up

It has been a long time since I have posted anything to my blog.  There are a few reason's:  I got a fancy new camera that has taken some time to get used to.  It has been a challenge finding time to learn how to upload pics to my computer.  The second reason, which is the biggest reason, is that 2010 has been the year of the "Doman curse". 

January started off with my back injury.  I was OUT for almost two weeks.   Since then we have had 8 ear infections- yes, you heard me EIGHT!  Four for each kid.  Pink eye twice for both kids.  The flu for mom and dad.  More colds than I can count.  Sinus infections.  Mom with pneumonia.  Dental surgery for Bridger.  Dad getting hit by a car while riding his bike.  I have said all along, "It's got to get better.  What more can happen?" and then something else happens.  When I got the call that Derek had been hit by a car I actually laughed (not in a mean way) but SERIOUSLY!  REALLY?!  Is it possible that we can have that much bad luck.


So now I am going to try and catch up on what we have been up to.  Starting with our trip to Utah.  Not a whole lot to say.  We intended on staying  1 1/2 weeks and ended up there about three weeks.  Due to having to take Bridger in for dental surgery and mom getting pneumonia.  I figured I should be allowed 2 days recovery before getting thrown in a car and being whisked away to reality back home.

Here's some pics.

I never thought I wanted to have a little girl.  If it were up to me I would have chosen to have all boys.  I am grateful to my Heavenly Father who knows what are family needed.  Our sweet little girl.  She bring so much joy into our family.  She is like a ray of sunshine and we all love her.

When I tried to schedule Bridger's birthday picture, I found out our favorite picture place went out of business.  Desperate to get it done I caved and went to my least favorite picture place.  At least the pics were cheap.  Didn't love the pics but I will give them credit for getting a shot of Lilly...many have tried and failed.
