haha oops (:

okay okay, i know i know... I really suck at keeping up on this thing. I know I know i say that every time i decide to finally update this thing, but i promise there is a great excuse this time! I have been overwhelmed with school and a very, let me repeated VERY mobile little stinker (aka Lux). So i apologize again for being bad at this whole updating thing, but lets face it i have a n lot more fun chasing lux around and doing my "wonderful" homework, that i kind of just forget about this thing. So i probably will forget and not update this thing for another 6 months, he he :)
Okay so as i mentioned before i finally went back to school (college). Yes, it has definitely been kicking my butt. I am really liking it though. I have awesome classes, with awesome professors which is really helpful. Plus i am done everyday by one and no later, so i get to spend the rest of my day with little stinker butt. Joyce, Lux's grandma watches her while i am at school, which is really helpful, because i would never trust a babysitter. Plus her grandma loves her and she loves her grandma so much. Sometime more than me. :) I don't blame her though her grandparents spoil her way more than i do!

Anyways enough about me, i know the majority of you guys read this to see what little miss lux is up too. Well she is definitely up to LOTS! Like i mentioned before she is super mobile. She isn't fully walking all the way but she definitely is trying her hardest. She seriously is so funny to watch. Her favorite things lately are destroying everything. I tell Jarrett all the time that she is the little boy he didn't get. She is constantly get in to all my drawers pulling everything out and of course putting them on. It is so funny she will come out from my bedroom and have like two of my tank tops around her head and one of my socks as a headband. She is pretty hilarious. She also loves her daddy's lambs. Her new thing is if you asked her what a sheep says she says "ba, ba, ba". You ask her what a cow says, she says "ba", how about a horse "ba". Pretty freaking adorable i know. She is definitely a farm girl, and a spoiled on at that.

So we had Lux's first birthday party recently, and it was so much fun. We had it at Staheli Farms, and had all our family and friends there. Of course i went overboard on the decorations and everything. I seriously felt like i was planning a wedding. Jarrett and I decided that no more big parties anymore until like her sweet 16th or something. But it was definitely worth all the time planning it. Even though she won't remember it we had lots of picture taken and she will be able to at least see all the adorable pictures. I couldn't believe how many people showed up either. Lux definitely is loved by a lot of people! We are really lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. I love every single one of you guys! Anyways i better go because i can already hear little miss attitude tearing something apart! So see you later, hopefully i will update this sooner, no promises though :) hehe

Her are some of Lux's 1 year pictures. Alisha Shaw took them, they turned out adorable. Check out her work at onememoryatatime.com. She is seriously amazing with kids, and does an awesome job as you can tell!! (:

How Time FLYS!!!!

So i can't believe that our little angel is turning 6 months old this month!! It crazy to think about how much she has grown in just those 6 months. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home weighing only a whooping 4lbs 7 oz and being terrified that i was going to break her! Now the little stinker is rolling over, talking up a storm, and starting to sit up by herself. She is getting so big!! It is kinda of sad to see her grown up so fast, but we are loving watching her explore and develop all her new skills! It is so cute to see how excited she gets when she sits up by herself, usually she gets so excited she kicks her feet, which cause her to tip over, but she still just smiles from eye to eye because she realizes she is doing something pretty amazing!!

She has started eating solid food and she LOVES it! We have given her everything from pears and bananas to green beans and peas, and she loves it all! If you have seen her recently it is pretty apparent that she loves her food :)) she is a CHUBB!! She really has been the biggest blessing in our lives and we don't know what we would do without her!! WE LOVE YOU LUX!!

Some of Lux's favorite and new things are:

-She LOVES solid food. Her favorites are bananas, carrots, and applesauce

-Loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Land Before Time

-She talks up a storm. She definitely gets that from her DADDY :))

-She is a total mommy's girl

-She will not fall asleep without a blanket over her face. She seriously will bury herself before she goes to bed. It really scares me that she can't breathe, but obviously she can :)

-She loves being the center of attention!!!
-She discovered how to fake cough. So if she is NOT the center of attention she coughs to make

sure she is. YES, she is VERY smart!

-She is obsessed with animals.

-She is probably the world's happiest baby! She will smile at anyone and everyone!

Lux Marie you are amazing and the best baby that we could of asked for!! Thanks for keeping our lives full of entertainment and thanks for being so freaking CUTE!! We love you so much boogers :))
