Josie LOVED Easter this year! She was really excited about our neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on the days leadbing up to it, but was a little timid when it began. She ended up getting more than enough eggs. She did much better than last year, when we had to practically beg her to pick any up.</div>

I forgot to get Lilah something for Easter. What kind of mother does this? I guess it shows you how important the Holiday is to me. I still felt bad however, and threw a few things in her basket last minute.</div>

<div>
Josie gave her first talk as a sunbeam in February. We practiced with her every day for a week before... she had it memorized. When I got up in Primary with her to give her talk she stood there silently. When I whispered in her ear for her to say it she said loudly in the microphone, 'No!'. So needless to say, I gave her talk. It's okay, hopefully next time it will go a little better.<br />
(This is what her talk was: 'Jesus loves us. He wants us to obey. When we obey we are happy.')<br />
In March Josie got her first bike. For several months she would tell a story that went something like this...'Once upon a time there was a little girl named Josie who had a Light De Queen bike.' And that's the whole story. So she'd been dreaming about a Light De Queen aka Lightning McQueen bike for quite some time. We were really excited to get it for her. She got the matching helmet, bell and horn as well. She was a little scared to actually ride it for quite a while and went so slow that it was almost painful but she's starting to ge the hang of it finally, kind of.<br />

I can't believe it's my turn to be the mom.... where does the time go? Josie was beyond excited this year about Santa, the christmas tree, christmas etc. We had to drive around the neighborhood everytime we came home so Josie could look at the lights. She was pretty dissapointed when people started taking them down.
<br />
Josie's favorte christmas present was a little metal shopping cart. She piled all her toys into it and pushed it around the house like a bag lady for days. <br />
Lilah is almost 6 months old, she can sit up all by herself but is nowhere near crawling, she hates to be on her tummy. She had her first meal of baby food on Christmas day and seemed to like it okay. It was a better experience than Josie's first meal. Josie hated baby food from the beginning.<br />
Russ and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. We went to dinner at Chili's, very exciting, I know. I'm not sure how we've gotten to 5 years already, but somehow we're here. We have been extremely blessed these past 5 years and I'm glad I can say that I love my Russy even more now than I did the day I married him. <br />

I have been so busy with two girls, and I've competely forgotten what life as a mother of one was like. It must have been a lot easier, but it didn't seem like it. Even though I don't feel like I have a minute to just sit most days, I feel so blessed to have my two girls, they are truly amazing. <br />
Well to summarize our life the last few months...we celebrated Josie's 3rd birthday, had a wonderful Halloween and Thanksgivng....and I can't believe it's almost Christmas! (We cut down our own Christmas tree this year, it was a lot harder to find a tree than we expected.) Anyway, instead of writing a bunch of stuff that no one is going to read, I'm just going to post a bunch a pictures from the last few months. Enjoy!<br />

The last 6 weeks have flown by with the birth of Lilah, fourth of July, my birthday, painting the house, Lilah's blessing and Russell's back surgery... I guess we've been pretty busy!<br />
I decided that having two kids is a lot more work than one or I guess Josie is a lot more work now that she has a little sister. She's had a hard time adjusting to life as a non only child but the hardest thing has been trying to keep Lilah alive, Josie is so 'helpful', she's always trying to pick Lilah up, hug her, kiss her, pull on her limbs, headbutt her, dance with her, feed her food, wake her up, etc etc etc.... I don't think it ever stops, it's a bit exhausting. But despite the added 'stress' lately, somehow I'm the happiest I've ever been.<br />

She was 6 lbs 13 oz, 19 in long and just perfect. I don't know who is more in love with her, me or Josie. <br /><div><br /><div>The delivery was even easier than Josie's. We got to the hospital at 5 am, after a few hours of painful contractions at home. I received my epidural at 6 am and had Lilah about 2 1/2 hours later, after about two pushes. I'm so glad I don't have long labors, I don't know how people do it! Here are some pictures from the delivery. Many, many more pictures of Lilah will be coming in the weeks ahead!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625141601746090546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px;

For 2 of the the 4 weeks he was in Seattle. I went to visit him for a weekend, Josieless. It was nice have a relaxing weekend alone. We explored downtown Seattle, went to a movie, slept in, took a ferry ride, and ate at restaraunts without a child. It was a nice getaway.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612687744463006530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwQ_a9uBePrVIbj3XyWFLYaFQqLn3kCKDXcw_ps2y_lO6f4o9PLkwoCI__ZEPtQSyd1E20YC1LfxJJiGtr6f6ktdWNfNNNtWSeTsksSHdY0vZOcguMx4EniAQTA82m67V73Ct728tHLg/s400/May+2011+%252829%2529.JPG" /><br />Josie got some new Owl bedding, after some persuasion from me.

Anyway, we've been trying to be patient waiting for spring, even though it's technically Spring, the weather sure doesn't indicate that. I desperately hope it gets nice soon! Josie has become obsessed with puzzles in the last few weeks, and she is actually pretty good at them. We've been trying to potty train her lately (which has been loads of fun), so puzzles have been a great tool to get her motivated. I think she has around 10 now, with almost every one missing at least one puzzle piece... which is very stressful for me. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589143210936512162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOCeXvOn_P8SG7Es0lnJp9mir47dA4DVtuysL3cDUj7SdtNgAMl0o_t-avKmBvihYXjL98BPbcjG05vTTpXqAOKY0WiZwjy_oMU_R3AdCWDYS8L_tI9BbhfdqSq1W9czLJp1aYcHTZ1I/s400/Mar+2011+%252820%2529.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589143703401158466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNl_NvprNxYA07oR4AKyB11qBI36OVI9ooXX-L8SjCsHgpA6JvgZ0oLXgV5mxB0_f01OjjW4Z7-r2I8UvH19UVd1dtDNT4kgzM_TG4yK9_ZGldVWURb0cRbhNMsbsDtlrrVfTZC-8EYnE/s400/Mar+2011+%252831%2529.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588829940768399426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHu5xPeJpIf04UiKfN3THT3NtIG0aASsLJKG_2ICB59a9TxNHZ4Ljc5WICCW59Lhekvjsbi__xKcM_WeZOeO3uJT6aXSrddW7cFfUjL6WG2fR1LTbigo7sHnclAfuWhrhJ-6Y5z4AqJeo/s400/Mar+2011+%25284%2529.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588830838579955410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtj3EifsvPKtDV4r1HVqmlOynvuW4z4_ZGnRYKndc11FHaGYqs9bGb5Q0wdtQRqAzRelmdOFREqzvDrIkD4sxNXcH6YruCKzkNvBoUrqwMG2dpqZZMmUR4R50yBY2ScA9D0JuO0gtyyg/s400/Mar+2011+%252811%2529.JPG" /> Russ has been diligently taking care of our yard, there's not much to do yet but he seems to find something to keep him busy out there.

Josie has been really excited about everything Christmas this year. When my mom was decorating the tree Josie said, 'I so esited!' She was even excited to see Santa, that is until it came time to sit on his lap. I can't wait for her to open her presents because I have a feeling she's going to be 'so esited' about those as well.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553324164942425234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOt01bwrpNM-CCF_8YN-0SRczSt7AJSDuHIDAuw6bnRWktptTYMUkl1l06hV_35zEc-MRaqvKg-fm4fKCoAP9HavHSP976ySjjbEFEYx-7QyTJ6_4_jqWq3Jj8TyoeIg9bB0DFIoTeLU4/s400/Dec+2010+%25286%2529.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553323999260139714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzT48ysEHmBCpMUgMNquBsteXcbsYUUCPBqvvUEUoK4x2y-vk-ZWgVvwBfZBQlN2WYey3otcl62AbUc6AdtZ9ydvHOCP563aVgLDCn2c-fzPh8P8qmY0c9hHcnx6_DSA1NgBe58ivHeQg/s400/Dec+2010+%25283%2529.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553324728368156354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiTKe4E9WFAqIO5G1lpQer3H6z8R9wUsGY08O39ePwUsKEajsqzSsmpFaBBJzFZy9P9837OTBuTri58uDMA92-hF39OXeMD1laOUYVTAoWblqufGXq6SAPTYNrIgYctP2be-akE6SDDNo/s400/Dec+2010+%252822%2529.JPG" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div>This last weekend our friends Matthew and Michelle invited us to their cabin.

Russ was offered a job in Boise and we just couldn't pass it up. We've really enjoyed our time here in Vegas, except for the heat, and are really sad we won't be around for the mild winter... it's what got me through the summer. :( I think Russ will miss the buffets more than anything else. Anyway we've been trying to see some more of the Vegas sights before we leave. This last weekend we saw the lions at MGM Grand and the Botanical Gardens and fountain show at the Bellagio. All three were quite enjoyable.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519224118778252594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDnlitCJjuxz2jPb05EuU-f0l97SetnbN0M7NKZaS5D4HkvRgQqzzKhz6CXHLt6-2SWCD4His7SVWlI0_5_maiqfOm0o9H0LBR1dAA93AkNqBkMSGNZXf30EVmEkg53cXU8bf-ZfYNelg/s400/Sep+2010+(43).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519223959255093218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiSQX_lY27W0oVJ3UoYMoVQpPIWKfG_r3PcN9fTXIKLVdATDf5RVO4nYOUO9_1tT1SvhyphenhyphenEKHJgeCVS65YqGabQAW5GNPwQNO22v_7kYar_xgQaKY_9dbkesgNWdp6xnWIgOiw4Z6BRGJg/s400/Sep+2010+(38).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519224339298204610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zg9_u-hGVmYUDDln66id4B_VOZntmtOIVumk48LbRF83QxU-ZUNEMe9bvDaLwuL0YnFbgkkJMeeTXPyHTPvTTHSN8-a6tIc9o2FiTjmoZYj9H1aeFg41JguM4SdPexE-byXMNwYtBZs/s400/Sep+2010+(40).JPG" />Noellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07737446873481529403noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521478667705091617.post-30368251061726954862010-09-07T14:23:00.000-07:002010-09-07T16:57:14.783-07:00Labor Day Weekend and Josie's 2nd Birthday<div align="left">We decided to take a last minute trip to California for Labor Day weekend. It was Josie's 2nd birthday on Saturday so we took her to one of her favorite places, the beach. We went to Venice beach, walked along the board walk and spent the afternoon playing in the sand and cold water. Josie could have stayed there all day. That evening we took our son (yes son, Josie was mistaken for a boy several times on Sat, I assume it's the lack of hair and the ambiguous gray shirt she was wearing) to a Dodgers game, where Josie yelled and clapped along with the crowd. I think she had a pretty good birthday. On Sunday we went to see the LA Coliseum, then stopped by a local Farmer's Market before we headed home.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514300829915358434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0uugaAj3D5K3bWI6ZqnhYAu1D238IVsy2buU83T-A_IJUwMWgN5Qy3k0ByVOnKjl4HQBw0ZP7vseL7ZJP1txn1O-uKpTYQqCjNDbupwsIZchlUSZhSUUKBWYx2U6y8IyFj6xHJRz584/s400/Sep+2010+(1).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514298290679540146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU-Jv9fki4htSziEAm1nUhwRfiWBzVhyphenhyphendR-TySMHSDI-tmthGwpx9PMNUYCpwzUweC0ZPQUfKKHX19kP7WbcDKD3Q2VQor0GJZhFJOumDf51RYJGznemVh8pRYfMmOIvTJA-Pj6V8mGL8/s400/Sep+2010+(4).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514299387257103218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaIBvMhKFz5tKuf2BhaQ-nWv_A4aaObL8jTELOCtXj56uoRai9ufwu9-HSpVvFLIbHMGt2hcmTkDhvspMxoKOVx-QC5N27IEpkYn8wkNZkwSUhFGFMvcCAh7xBqbZzcuh7lXB3dmEFF4/s400/Sep+2010+(11).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514298584616309554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMj7aLtiRrxStGhRY5TXFZbtNQ806fPm1RIDXhbC6fghs3q0xb1MvrJgbXEtJK6YyzA3Fc4QxuxrlOOKInahahTVpBcDZXFgtV9LAMLJ4t9U5QLsaZFItn2Xb9zxvZppv15mTBgItXTy4/s400/Sep+2010+(6).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514298944130219602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqij4MBBGNix6IkMvYvAgFd4CkAvE9YbHMdMpa8E36BdWOyDaN1EheIIEQ4hCO1iyIhy0SsZ_Vlx01GyMv1WahOYw3F91lb4zA_mrPS_WWQsrlcxEnxXtbxwI6t8u_TRH0NA18sD9gZHw/s400/Sep+2010+(8).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514299728728550386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2g-BDUsLF3F44erK8OfY-Tm6pWv5QikXCQ8DfjBDWq4vg1f4aGef6jlnwHL0K3P1BEdYD2xNEVYx6QBcLuTg1Q6dJhFDT_Vwr9w-FV6phJRm-daUb5FTlZfPOg9R1bjukoXF2Js_Vjkg/s400/Sep+2010+(12).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514300515412057666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEE2fzqtelBpTbnLRJU4YDEAdutVZVyhwQt7-KrTJulTu8RVThXgHrzdB7otyu_XHmy0oh-AqBBAmZMt1zcrS20Can1QBSU20xBrf2C0iNhMJSag165O1k_08AN4axp2fF2_i-0AHoy8E/s400/Sep+2010+(15).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514299977486144098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXEch0CO1vfcq7Z19N8IeyoP4xzcNedqDm4UiMbbAeYK7KyGg5ACY4vdnr_VUpI8Or7nXtTSNiqVtQ5OdDp2WZ25_YNid-t5o6s0s62EzR8pAQqir4vtgBlbtaxDE9vjz21EEOQvgv1F0/s400/Sep+2010+(14).JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514301129782680642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT81IaDoIj16tg1Jvv-Fe4PODcNBj4j7vKAAWVInUm2gSa4dB8bZcWv5gkErxW94044HY84rRH_3F3FXiSUXWxImQ84WLY7Z8MwAlmd9AjO-QX1arOqR68gzMdCFWDTHCQu4Kp2xCXM4g/s400/Sep+2010+(19).JPG" />On Monday, during timeouts and half time of the Boise State game (which we are very happy about... I thought Russ was going to lose it), we quickly celebrated Josie's birthday. I had big dreams for Josie's birthday cake this year but after the first cake burned (thanks to our wonderful oven) and I realized I didn't have all the things I needed to make what I wanted, I made a simple cake with a crown on top.
