Idaho...Here I COME



Tomorrow morning I am going to Idaho via Salt Lake. I am WAY excited for a trip. I fly out tomorrow morning way early so Rob can be back in time for his rotation at 7am. Packing is a tough thing to do with a baby...what to try and bring, what to get there, etc. It is a lot of work to figure it out, but I am glad I will have this opportunity. I will get to see all of my siblings while I am up there so I am super excited about that! Thanks to my sister for driving me to IF tomorrow night!
My poor husband will be home without me, but will survive! And will probably get more rest! He is doing his rotation all day every weekday, will play basketball, sleep, and I am sure play the XBOX and watch as much sports as humanly possible! I bought some frozen pizzas and cereal for him to sustain his life while we are away....wait, we eat that when I am home!
Lily actually slept through the night three nights this week! Miracle of absolute miracles. Two weeks ago she was sleeping about two hours at a time, if THAT! All I can say is earlier bedtime and the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child! Miracles do exist!
I will probably try to post while I am gone so Rob can see Lily.

We went and did a hike last Saturday. It was very fun! Rob definitely got more of a workout carrying Lily. She fell dead asleep on the way down. It was funny how out of it she was.
Our new almost daily activity is going to the park and swinging on the swings. She LOVES it!
She is definitely mobile---crawling and getting to anywhere she wants to. She has given up on baby food and I didn't know what to feed the kid. Today I bought one of those little mesh things you can put real fruits or veggies in and they kind of suck on it and she LOVED it, so that will be the way I get the kid to eat real food for a while. Hopefully she can figure out how to pick up food and eat it soon so she isn't sustaining her life on formula forever!

That is it for me....peace out!

March is here already!







I can't believe it is March already! That just seems crazy to me!
My baby is officially six months old last Friday. In some ways it seems like we have always had her, and in other ways it seems like we just had her yesterday. She is a goober....but a cute one!

Rob is on break from school right now and starts his first full-time three month rotation on Monday. He is a bit nervous, but excited to be out of the classroom! He only has one more quarter of actual classes during the summer! I am so proud of him and all he has accomplished with school.

I am kicking it at home with Lily. I have done some projects lately. I made Lily some cute hairclips to keep her mop out of her face. I made letters for LILY to put in her room. I also made my husband home-made bread yesterday! I once asked him what his equivalent was to me getting flowers...and he said homemade bread! I think that is funny!

Rob and I have been on a health kick---exercising everyday and eating a lot better! I definitely want to be a healthy mom and teach my kids good habits! We have both lost some weight!

I am going to Idaho Falls next Friday for two weeks....so, if you are an Idaho Falls-ian---let me know and I can try and see ya!
