Family Bowling Tournie!

2010-04-12T13:05:00.000-07:00

Whoa the time has come! We had our family bowling tournament and it was a blast! We have this tournament every year and it was surprising that my hubbie Hans didn't even place this year! My brother Steve took 1st, my brother Doug took 2nd, and my brother Jared took 3rd! Cannot wait for next year!

Easter Sunday!

2010-04-05T14:06:00.001-07:00

Easter Sunday was a blast! My sister Lana and her family recently moved back to Utah and we decided to get our family together and watch conference and celebrate Easter together! Although a lot of family was unable to attend we still had a blast by playing confrence bingo, having an Easter egg hunt, playing on the playground, watching my brother in law and nephews (who are incredible skate boarders) skate down this huge hill, wax eachothers faces, paint our nails, and of coarse eat lots of food! It was soooo fun and I can't say enough how much I love and appreciate my family! They are truly my best friends!

Praying!

2010-04-02T21:35:00.000-07:00

DaLilah looks forward to saying our prayers every night! Ever since we got her a big girl bed we have started saying our family prayers in her room instead of ours and it couldn't be more fun for her. Her bed is the perfect height for her to kneel at for her tiny little body and it is the cutest sight! I am so happy that she loves to pray! She also has to kiss her Jesus picture every night before bed and also wants to do it through out the day. The way she says Jesus is soooo sweet! I will try and catch it on tape!

She cracks me up!

My little angel

2009-12-30T19:31:00.000-08:00

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!

2009-10-24T21:09:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-14T15:38:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-08-22T20:32:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-07-07T13:47:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-01T10:14:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

2009-05-08T09:37:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

2009-04-23T11:16:00.000-07:00

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)

2009-03-25T12:44:00.000-07:00

We crack up every time Lilah does this!

CHUBBS

2009-03-21T06:51:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-03-08T20:11:00.001-07:00

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)

2009-02-17T13:44:00.000-08:00

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!!!!

2009-02-05T20:56:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-02T10:23:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-25T16:31:00.000-08:00

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!!!!

The best Christmas ever!

2008-12-27T08:31:00.001-08:00

We had such a wonderful Christmas! It started off at my sister Lisa's house with my family who lives here in Utah....but my brother in law Dave brought in this big box saying it was a bunch of gifts inside. When he opened it my sweet little niece Sophia from Arizona was inside the box and my sister Lana, brother in law Chad and my 2 nephews Smith and Solomon came running in! I was so excited that I was laughing so hard that I was almost crying. It was the best! We also had a family program where almost all my nieces sang, my nephew played the piano, my Grandma sang, 2 of my brother in laws sang, and my Dad played his amazing Sax! It was so wonderful and so spiritual. The kids were of coarse spoiled by there uncle Dave with amazing presents from Disneyland and all the older kids got a pair of shoes which were all so unique. And then for all of us older people got $100.00! WOW! We are so spoiled!
As for Christmas morning we spent it at my sister Lori's house and it was so so fun! DaLilah was mostly tiered but it was so cute to watch her open some presents. Hans and I both got spoiled by each other with lots of clothes. Hans got me and Ab Lounge which I have been wanting forever! You just wait, I will have a flat tummy in no time :)

We finally did it! Well, actually I did. We have wanted to do this for so long but every time Hans chickened out so when I was at the mall with Brooke and Cohen we decided just to do it! We surprised Hans and he loved it!!!! I have hardly any pics with DaLilah bc I am usually the person taking them so I thought I would hop in the pics! Hope you all like them!! :)

time is flying!!!

2008-10-20T18:30:00.000-07:00

People have always told me time would fly but I had no idea Lilah would grow this fast!! Lately she has been smiling and laughing so much! She now can hold her own bottle and can hold her own toys. She got her first rattle and she just loves it! It is so fun being a Mother but I cant leave out very very challenging! So worth it though! I can't wait to continue to see her learn and grow!!

Daddy and Daughter weekend

2008-10-08T14:28:00.001-07:00

I am so excited that I got some pics of Hans and Lilah last weekend just hanging out. It is so fun (but very challenging) having our own little family and just spending time at home. We all love to all get in bed around 9:00 and just watch TV. It is so funny bc DaLilah can watch TV for a long time before getting bored. She is just so little so I think it is hillarious! I also think it is so funny how she is looking more and more like her Dad every day. They are twins and both very darling!

DaLilah's Blessing

2008-10-03T15:39:00.000-07:00

Sunday Sept 28th DaLilah was blessed! I know she is 3 months but we wanted Hans side of the family to be here from Arkansas and I am so glad we waited! Hans gave DaLilah such a beautiful blessing and even though she cried the entire time my awesome sister Lisa wrote the entire thing down for me so I can read it, and i read it almost daily. Thanks Lisa! I am so lucky to have Hans, he loves his daughter so much and was so emotional the whole time. HE IS SO SWEET! Even though she cried the whole time it was funny bc that is just her big personality. After the blessing we had a small lunch over at the Bluffdale park and we had such a good time with our family and friends! I honestly feel so loved that our loved ones were there to support us and our sweet new baby! Thanks you guys!

3 year anniversary!!!!

2008-09-08T11:48:00.001-07:00

Hans and I have been now married for 3 years today Sept 8th! Wow that went by fast! I still to this day cannot believe I am married and have a baby! It is what I have dreamed about since I was a little girl and I just am amazed I am living the dream I have dreamed for so long :) Hans is the best husband EVER and treats me like a girl should be treated! I am really the luckiest girl. Happy anniversary little Hansie Pants! Love your cute little face!

Naked!

2008-08-29T14:59:00.000-07:00

My little chubby DaLilah loves to cry! And she is so cute when she cries but sometimes it is a little much lol! Whenever we are in the car and we stop at a stop light she starts screaming. She is so spoiled. And whenever her binki falls out of her mouth she squeals until we put it back in. So the other night she wouldn't stop. Both me and Hans tried whatever we could and she was just being so stubborn. So I was going to give her a bath and put her to bed and let herself cry herself to sleep. So I put her in her crib and started undressing her. Right away she stopped crying and then when she ended up naked she started smiling, cooing and kicking her little legs. What can I say she loves being naked. I can't blame her though lol! Oh yeah and look how chubby she is getting! I have always wanted a little chubby one :)

Babysitting

2008-08-21T01:00:00.000-07:00

So for my brother Doug and sister in law's Michelles 10 year anniversary we watched my nieces Trinity and Tasia at our condo while they ran to dinner. They are so cute and really really good kids and are so fun to watch. Well, Trinity wanted to hold DaLilah and I agreed after having her wash her hands. I was so so surprised at how well she handled holding a baby after not even having baby siblings. Next thing I know Trinity has flipped DaLilah in the upright position which is even difficult for me to do sometimes so I was just in AW! Oh yeah and DaLilah didn't even cry which is unusual when she is uncomfortable so she must have been happy! I wanted to take pics because I was so amazed (she is only 7). What a good Mom she is going to be someday! WOW!

Friends forever!

2008-08-18T14:59:00.001-07:00

So I have been dieing to get some pictures of DaLilah and her new little friend Cohen so we had our friend Gianne come take pics and I happened to get a few of my own. When I get them back from her you will be able to tell how bad of a photographer I am. LOL. Anyway they are so stinking cute and I couldn't be more happy with the out come! Of coarse DaLilah was being a stinker the whole time and Cohen was just so relaxed. They will make one heck of a couple bc that is how me and Hans are LOL!

1 1/2 monthes old!!

2008-08-12T20:57:00.000-07:00

My little baby DaLilah is growing up!! NOOOOOOOOO! JUSTKIDDING! It has been a blast watching her learn and grow on a daily basis. She is so smart.....she already knows how me and Hans work. She knows that if she cries long enough Hans will go get her regardless of what I say and she knows that I will feed her as much as she wants regardless of what other people say. What can I say she is already getting spoiled. GREAT! But, how can you not spoil someone so cute?? LOL :) This last month she is learning to hold up her head and can stand up with our help.... of coarse. She has very strong legs, neck, and one heck of a grip! She is my precious and I can't believe how fast she is growing! I LOVE HER!!!!

My wonderful husband!

2008-07-25T16:15:00.000-07:00

This is my husband Hans! Isn't he just adorable? Can I just say how lucky I am to have such a good, loving, wonderful man???? He is so good and patient with me and I just can't say enough how blessed I am to have him as a husband and as the Father of my daugheter! Hans, if you are reading this I LOVE YOU!

2008-07-20T19:58:00.001-07:00

DaLilah is my tiny new little baby born on July 1st! She shares a birthday with her Great Grandma Thatcher and Great Grandma Corpuz! Her due date was July 12th but I was hoping she would be born on the first so she could share this birthday with her 2 special Grandma's! I ended up getting the PUPPS Rash that only 1% of pregnant women get and my awesome Docter (Dr. Later) decided to induce me bc I was so miserable from itchyness so I think Great Grandma Corpuz in heaven helped me out with this one! She weighed 5 lbs 9 ounces and was delivered by C Section even after I went through all of labor. Doctor Later decided that my hips are too small and that she would not be able to come out. So little DaLilah made it here safe and sound and is such an angel! She makes her Mommy so so happy! I love you little one!

We have started a blog!!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-20T19:24:00.001-07:00

I know I am going to eventually have more kids but as for right now I am so happy and can't imagine myself any happier!
