This is what happens when you ask your husband to watch your child while you run to the store with your sister for 30 minutes. He of course watched the Jazz game instead of your child.

Snow Day

It snowed a ton this last week and Lilly loved looking at it from the window. So I decided to let her go out in the backyard and play. This was the first time she used her purple snowpants and mittens, and hopefully not the last. She tried to walk around but the snow was too deep, so she just sat in it and ate it.

Finally an Anniversary

So last weekend Gus and I finally went out for our anniversary. We did all the things we were supposed to do the weekend before, but couldnt because I got sick. We left Lilly with Gus's parents and were off to Salt Lake. We first hit the movies and saw National Treasure 2. Then we got take-out from California Pizza Kitchen and brought it to Little America where we stayed the night. It was great to spend some good time with my wonderful husband, though he was annoyed that I kept wanting to call and see how Lilly was doing. It was the first time I had left her overnight and I was freaking out! The next morning I got ready really fast so we could go get Lilly. When we got to Gus's parents at 11:00, I found out that Lilly had been up since 5:00 that morning. Gus's brother and sisters had taken shifts with her all morning since Gus's mom had to leave for church meetings at 6:30. What a little Naughty. I was grateful that Lilly had been so well taken care of by EVERYONE in the family.

3 Years!

Well today is me and Gus's 3 year anniversary! It has been 3 wonderful, long, fun years. We had big plans for the big 3. Gus's mom was going to watch Lilly while we went to SaltLake. We were going to go to the movies(first time in a year!), eat a little dinner, and stay the night at Little America. Well things didnt go according to plans when last night I decided it was my turn to get the flu. We all new it was coming, we just didnt know when. 

This year Christmas was in Rexburg. Everyone was there, so it was really fun and loud. It was a good trip until Gus came down with the flu on Christmas Eve. I felt so bad for him. On Christmas morning I ended up opening all of Lilly's presents while she ate the paper. Santa didnt bring much for Lilly this year since she already has way too many toys(Our front room sometimes looks like a daycare). She mostly got books and clothes. She had a fetish with the tree since we dont have one at our house and decided to help herself to a glass ball off the tree and bit it like an apple. On the way home to Utah, Lilly came down with the flu and started puking. It was the first time she has ever really thrown up and she had no clue how to do it. It was sad. Two down one to go, I was sure I would get it soon. The day after we arrived home we took Lilly to the doctor for some antibiotics for her cold that she has had for about 2 weeks. While we were there we found out she also has an ear infection. All things considered she has been a really good girl to have the flu, a cold, a cough, and an ear infection all at the same time. Well that was our Chrismas.

couldnt take it to Rexburg

At Gus's family Christmas Party, these are all the cousins kids. Can you guess where Lilly is. I'll give you a hint: She is the only one screaming.

Lilly had no idea what was going on Christmas morning. I ended up opening all her presents.

Lilly was in love with Brandt the whole trip. She would cry when I would take her from him.

Watching Baby Einstein

Strange things happen while watching Baby Einstein..............

Satan Santa

Seeing Santa wasnt all Lilly expected. The second her bum hit his lap she was ready to get right back off. I had thoroughly expected her to love Santa since she loves strangers. She always tries to go home with random people we dont know, so this wasnt the reaction I was expecting. It was priceless. When Gus finally picked her up off Santa's lap, she was shaking. This was the Santa from our ward Christmas party.
