Harley turns 1!!!!!!

So my baby girl is 1!!! I cannot believe how fast the last year went by and how much she has learned. She amazes me everyday. She can say, "hi", "uh-oh", "mama" and "dada" as well as play peek a boo and wave bye bye. She is getting a lot more hair and realizing now that she has bows so when we get in the car and go somewhere that is the first thing to go! Her actual birthday was on May 3rd but we celebrated on May 8th because my parents got here on May 5th. So we had a week of celebrations!! I am still trying to convince her that she likes milk instead of formula, but she isn't buying it so far! She can stand up on her own which she started doing the day of her party and if she doesn't want or like something she is sure to let you know! She loves her mama, but when daddy walks through that door after work she only wants him and has big smiles for him!

I am taking 2 online classes this semester and will hopefully get to take a full load of courses this winter when Brady is home. Other than that I try to hang out with friends as much as possible to keep me sane, and I am eagerly awaiting summer so that Harley and I can start our walks again.

Brady is busy landscaping and has big plans for our own yard..if he could just find the time to do it!

My parents are here until Saturday and we have been having so much fun with them. It's always nice to see my own mommy and dad! So now onto the pictures!

There are more pictures of the celebrations on my facebook. Hope you enjoyed these and I hope I don't get more 6 months behind again!

February-April

February brought snow, and lots of it, but we enjoyed as best as we knew how with a 9 month old.

Harley's 1st Valentine's Day


Harley and Hank playing in his dishes


Harley got to enjoy a snowday...except she didn't think she could move in her little snowsuit!

March wasn't a very exciting month, mostly consisted of Brady starting back to landscaping so he was home every couple of days due to the weather, and Harley and I were just hanging out and I was going to school. So not very many pictures were taken.

Harley got to enjoy her own bowl of chocolate pudding one night(it was almost bathtime anyway)


Daddy gave Harley her very own "dork dot", but she didn't really appreciate it

So in April we went to California (Harley and I) along with Joni, Andrew and Lola for the birth of Endee Rogue and just to escape the cold of Idaho. Brady was back to landscaping so we will see him sometime around Thanksgiving =) Harley got to ride in her big girl forward facing seat for the first time and she decided while in California that maybe pulling herself up onto her feet rather than her knees wasn't so bad. She now walks with the help of a walker toy and would rather stand than sit of course! I can't believe how big she is already! Harley also celebrated her first Easter but unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of her in her Easter dress since it was General Conference on Easter she wore her dress the week before, maybe on the next sunny day I will get a picture of her in the dress.

The first time in her big girl seat! She aboslutely loves it.


Harley and I need our sleep, and in the mornings after Daddy gets out of bed is usually our snuggle time


Harley decided to get adventurous and stand on her walker, she doesn't really want to be IN it anymore, but sometimes we still use it to trap her in something! lol


Three sisters with their baby girls.


Harley with her Grammy!!


Baby Endee the whole reason for our trip to California



So that wraps it up for February to April...the next post will show what we just experienced and that was Harley turning 1 and having her first birthday party. Thankfully we all survived =)


This is Harley's "pretty" Grammy made it, and we cannot go ANYWHERE without it..It's our comfort thing and she is so attached to it, thankfully it's cute and little.

Finally a new post! November-January

It has been 6 months since I last posted!! Holy smokes what a slacker I am!! We will give you a run down of what our life has been like the last 6 months. We went to California for Bee's graduation, Rowdy's 1st Birthday and Thanksgiving back in November.


We also had some family pictures taken.

Harley partied a little too hard!

We had our first family trip to the San Diego Zoo

And enjoyed the beach. Where Harley experienced sand for the first time.

Onto December, we enjoyed having Mom and Jay up for Christmas and helping us celebrate Harley's very first Christmas(outside of the womb)

Harley's Christmas dress. (We later realized she was doing that thing with her bottom lip because she was teething)


Harley enjoyed her presents


And so did Brady.

Onto January
What did the new year bring us? Well first off our beloved Baco was stolen 4 days after Christmas...which totally sucked...but at the end of January we welcomed Hank into the family or Hanky Panky as he is commonly called. We love him and Harley loves to chase him around and take his toys.


He is much bigger now.And so is Harley for that matter


This was the first day Harley had enough hair for me to snap a little bow right into her hair, she hated getting her picture taken...but the facial expression cracks me up!


And this was one of her first bubble baths..she loves the bath and would stay in there all day if I would let her!

I will continue with another post of the next 3 months!
