My little angel

DaLilah has turned in to the most angelic child ever! As many of you know, she was a very difficult baby and cried a lot. But ever since she turned one she has been so great and I just cannot get enough of her! She is 18 mo old now and fully potty trained! She knows where her eyes, mouth, teeth, nose, hair, cheeks, belly button, bum bum, feet, and back is. She always says "Please when she wants something" and is a very clean baby. She is always cleaning up her messes and loves to help me with all the chores I do around the house. My brother was staying at our house yesterday and was surprised that I was telling her to go clean her room and she went in her room and actually did it. She is very very smart! I could go on all day and talk about this sweet little thing but I just wanted to share with you all about how proud I am of my sweet girl DaLilah!

Thank you!

I just want to quickly say thank you to all of those who accept me for who I am! I am a very OPEN person and tell everyone anything and everything about me and what is going on in my life! As you can see I posted some pics of my baby girl DaLilah and her being potty trained. I am so proud of her and that is why I shared those pics! To those of you who may have gotten offended..... just go ahead and skip looking at my blog bc again I am a very open person and plan to share on my blog what is going on in my life and what I am excited about! Again, thanks to all my friends and family who listen to me and accept me for the crazy girl that I am. Love ya much!

Potty Training

Yes, I know these pictures may be a little intense for some of you..... but I am such a proud mom that I decided to show them anyway. I have now been working with DaLilah on potty training for about a month and she is picking it up so so quickly. Of coarse since she is only 15 months old she doesn't tell me when she needs to go, but gets soooo excited when I say lets go try and go potty and she happens to do it :)! She has not missed a day of pooping on the potty in almost a month!!! She looks forward to it everyday. You can tell she is a lot like her Dad because she loves to learn new things and picks up on them very quickly! I love you DaLilah and am so proud to be the mother of such a smart baby!

St. George!

Last weekend we went to Saint George to visit my parents! We had such a blast spending time in the the pool and shopping up a storm! My parents got me some tickets to the Footloose play at the Tuhachan Theater for my birthday and it was AMAZING! We had such a great time!! Thanks Lisa and Dave for letting us stay at your place! Here are some cute pics of the adventure!

1st Birthday!

DaLilah turned one on July 1st! We had a b day party for her at Splash Park with family and some friends! Here are some cute pics!

Wow!

DaLilah has surprised me while she used to only take off her shirt. Now she is attempting to try and put everything on.




Yes that is my under garment she trying to put on LOL! The only attempt of hers caught on tape!

Killing me!!!!

So these last couple weeks have been pretty rough for me! Luckily I have my wonderful husband Hans! He has helped me so much with DaLilah while I have been laying in bed feeling awful! One day I just went to check on them to make sure they were doing okay and this is what I found......




What a hillarious hubbie I have! Always keeps me laughin!

I can't believe she is almost 1!!!!

My precious little one is almost one in jut 2 months!!!! I just don't know how the time flew so fast! She has been learning so much lately. She loves to talk jibber jabber but mostly says Mama, Baba, Dada. She finally picked up crawling last month. She can stand for a long time and I am sure she will be walking soon! I just love andenjoy her so much!!!

OUUUUCCCCHHH (ET)

We crack up every time Lilah does this!

CHUBBS

If you have not heard of my cat before her name was Chubba. Yesterday we had to put her to sleep bc she was throwing up ever 1/2 hour and looked so weak. I dreaded having to do this. I knew that that the time was near but did not realize that it would be this close. She has lived with me and Hans since we have been married and my parents moved to St. George. We have definitely bonded. When DaLilah was born Chubba was ever so sweet letting Lilah pull on her hair and her collar constantly. I think she liked it bc she always wanted to sit by Lilah. We loved her! So when she was acting so different I panicked bc it was so rare for her to be throwing up like this. I called Hans to come home from work bc I did not know what to do. We wrapped her up in a blanket and she enjoyed the ride in the car to the vet. Only threw up once on the way. We took her inside to the vet and we decided that it was her time to go after living for 20 years (we have had her in our family since I was 4)!! It was a spiritual experience and we knew she was ready. Me and DaLilah gave her a hug and said our goodbyes. Hans petted her the whole time while she was dieing and said it was very peaceful and she didn't feel a thing. We love you Chubba and we know we will see you again!

The loves of my life!

I have been thinking lately how lucky I am to have my wonderful,gorgeous,talented,sweet,generous husband and to have such a beautiful, sweet, fun, happy baby girl! I am so so lucky and thank my Heavenly Father daily for such a wonderful life and family! I cannot believe how quickly my marriage has flown by! I have been married now for almost 4 years and it has been so awesome! My husband treats me so well and he works so hard for me and DaLilah and I just love him so much! I also cannot believe how quickly the last 8 mo have gone by! DaLilah has grown so fast and I just look at her while she is sleeping and cherish every moment bc I know I will not get this back! So if you ever hear me complain again about how hard it is to be a mother just give me a good slap in the face! I just want to tell them both how much I love them and appreciate them!!!! XOXOXOXOXO!!!!

The hardes thing about being a Mother (in my opinion)

DaLilah is now 7 months old and I have put off the whole crying thing to sleep for almost 3 months now. So this last week DaLilah has been screaming every time I put her down or walk out of the room. It has been driving me crazy (literally). So after not listening to my pediatrition and letting it get this bad I had a long talk with my good friend Brooke. Her baby sleeps through the night and is not nearly as clingy as DaLilah. So today I did it. I let her scream herself to sleep for her nap. It was the hardest thing ever. I wanted to go save her but I knew this would be better for her and us in the long run. Lets just hope I can stick with it. And lets also hope Hans will stick with it too. So finally after not hearing her cry anymore I went in to check on her. She must have scooted to the other end of the crib where her toys are. No wonder she didn't cry very long she had been playing. LOL. She is and will always be my little stinker.

Coupon Party!!!!

Okay so I am so excited about this!!!!! I am hosting a coupon party and I am so motivated right now to save some money on groceries. I would much rather save the money or spend it on something new! I am sure you all know how I feel! So on Tuesday Feb 10th at my clubhouse at 6:30 we will be having this class. I have many friends who have taken this class and saved a lot like a lot LOL! I have a friends who buys $175 worth of groceries and only ends up spending around $45- $50 it is so cool! I hope to see you all there! Again it is at my clubhouse on Tuesday the 10th at 6:30. Call me with any questions!!!!!!!!!!!

My niece Attalia's baptism

This weekend my niece Attalia was baptized and it was probably the most fun I have had in a while! Not only that but it was such a spiritual experience as well. Attalia looked beautiful in her gorgeous white dress. (it looked like a wedding dress). After the baptism they had this huge party for her at Thanksgiving pointe and all of there close friends and family were there to support her! There was a delicious dinner, awesome performances by Madeline, ballroom dancers, my Dads Band, and at the end a DJ! We partied it up by dancing like crazy and I just had a blast! My husband Hans usually does not dance but he decided that he would dance with me to make my day and indeed it did! It was so so so fun!!!!!

Family Bowling Tournament

Every year we have a family bowling tournament and like always it was a blast! We had 9 competing and the rest just bowled for fun! We always have fun prizes too! This year first went to my brother Steve and our good friends who we consider our family Nate and Rajathi took 2nd and 3rd! My honey Hans has taken first the last 2 years but this year I ended up beating him!!! I was so so shocked lol! Like always with my family it is a party and we were sure to finish it up with dancing and lots of good food of coarse treated by my sweet generous brother in law Dave! And last but not least DaLilah slept really hard through most of it which made it a lot easier. When she woke up she was in the best mood and was so deliciously sweet! Can't wait for next time!!!!
