Jillian's Jumperoo

Well...We just bought Jillian a Jumperoo the other day. I really wanted her to have one because she is always jumping and on her feet. She loves to stand and wiggle on our laps. At first, she was a little unsure, but once she figured out how it works..she loved it! We found it off Craigslist for $25 and it is in great condition! I'm so happy she likes it, and it will be great for her to learn balance and build strength in her legs! I think it was the best $25 we ever spent!haha. On a sadder note, I was so bummed to brake down her swing and bouncer...I know she is 10 months..it has been forever since she has used either one and I figured it was time to pack them away for now until we have another one. (later in the future). Jillian still doesn't have and teeth..but is teething like crazy. She is just getting so big I can't believe it. I know its only a matter of a couple of weeks before she finally starts crawling..but I'm enjoying all my time with her. She just loves to laugh at me when I make funny faces and sing. If its possible I love her more and more each day and I cherish every single moment I have with her and I just hope and pray that God will help me find a way to be able to stay home with her longer and raise her up. On a happy note...I'm getting ideas and things ready for her 1st Birthday. I can't believe its almost here. I know I'm going to be a big blubber head that day. I'm so not ready for her to be one yet. It has just flown by! Anyway...I'm rambling so I guess I need to just end. Thanks for reading and I hope all is well with everyone! Have a great day!

Jillian and Carden (visit two)

 Charlie's cousins, Julie and Keane came to visit us about 2 weekends ago. I know I'm a little late on posting but I've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. We had a wonderful visit with them while they were here. As you can see, Jillian and Carden got along alot better than the last time they met. I am so happy to report that Jillian is doing great with her tummy time.(finally) She is starting to move backwards. haha. Not the right way..but its definetly a start. We had a couple of lazy days with Julie and Keane and it was really nice to have them down here to visit. Carden is only 6 months old and is army crawling all over the place and pulling up on things. Maybe he influenced Jillian a little?!haha. They are both getting so big and I think they will be the best of friends as they grow older together. I just wish they didn't live all the way in Show Low!haha. We can't wait until we can do it again! Thanks for reading and Take Care!

10 Months Old

Well our wonderful, talented, finger-sucking, lazy, dada saying little Jilly Bean is 10 months old today! I can't believe it has been 10 months already. She has really grown so much. Looking back at some of these pictures I just can't believe so much time has gone by. She has developed so much personality and I absolutely love watching her learn and grow everyday. Jillian has really enriched our lives and I really can't imagine life without her. She is such a good baby, and God really has blessed us. I look back and remember my pregnancy like it was yesterday. I remember craving ice cream, hotdogs with mac n cheese, and pancakes! (i'm not a pancake person) Watching my belly grow was so wonderful, knowing us and God created this beautiful little thing. I am looking forward to raising her and eventually giving her some siblings (when the time is right) and watching them grow and having a wonderful family. Although we already are a little family, it is just perfect for us right now. Jillian still isn't crawling or walking yet, but she will when she is ready. I am just enjoying every minute I have with her. She truly is our pride and joy. 

On another note, our weekend went great. We went to Show Low to watch the Regional Wrestling Tourney. And it went great. Ricky and Albert took first! Congrats boys! So they will be wrestling for state this weekend in Prescott. Can't wait! We also got to visit with the Kakavas Family, and it was such a nice visit. I bonded with Miss Sydnee and Mr. Tytan, boy are they cute kids, I couldn't get enough of Tytan's loves. Brandi is absolutely glowing and growing with her pregnancy. You look great girly! And her brother Cody took first too. (yay) And won outstanding wrestler! Good Job!But it was a great weekend and I'm so glad everything worked out! Well thanks for reading and congrats to everyone, happy 10 month baby girl and God Bless you all!

February 2010

     Hello Everyone. It has been awhile since I have blogged so I figured it was time for an update. Well not much is really going on. Jillian is almost 10 months old already and let me tell you, I am so not ready for her to grow up! These last 10 months have flown by and I can't thank God enough for allowing me to stay home with her. It has been amazing watching her learn and grow everyday. We still call her "lazy baby" because she still isn't crawling or walking yet. haha. But I'm sure she will when she is ready. Maybe I spoil her too much?!haha. Life is good right now. Charlies friend is trying to get me a job at the University of Phoenix, which would be amazing because I could go to school for FREE! So say a prayer I get the job. Charlie is hard at work as always. He has been going to the gym everyday after work so we haven't seen much of him lately.:( But its a stress reliever for him, so I totally understand. I have an eye appointment next week. My eyes have been bothering me lately so I'm wondering if I need glasses. We are currently looking for a roommate. We really need the extra money, but so far no luck. Other than that everything is pretty much the same. We are going to SL this weekend for Regionals (wrestling). Let's go SL! Then the next weekend is State and I'm so excited for the boys, I know they will do great. Well I hope everyone is doing well. Take care, and God Bless! Oh and these are just some cute pics of Jilly and us..we were goofing around.haha
