hey gurrrl!

Here's some pics from our spring break trip to washington! you got to play with grandma & grandpa casper, aunt brianna and uncle tanner! They just loved you so much. You played in the grass for the first time, and you didn't really like it. you got yourslef into this crazy yoga postion so that you didn't hav eto touch it haha it was so funny! I was tring to take pictures of you, but you would stop staring at Chip, gma and gpa's doggie. I think you were kinda scared, but interested at the same time.

You also were teething the whole trip...which most babies just cry all day and night..but you just were slightly fussy! actually you were amazing. You always are.

I love you girlfriend. You're taking a nap right now..i needed to do some blogging and laundry and i kept having to chase you out of the bathroom :) I love that your crawling around everywhre.

Last night we went to a benifit concert for someone in our (mom and wade)'s ward. a little boy whose 12, whos dying of cancer. The whole time i was choked up, because i just feel so blessed that you're healthy, and you're here, and you're mine! You fell asleep in the stoller, even with all the loud country music! Everyone couldn't get enough of you, you're just so stinkin adorable.

anyways, i better go get something doen, so we can go to some stores today! xoxo

love, mom

dear lynley,

I made this blog just for you! but...mom didn't do a good job at keeping it up. But, i've been thinking a little more, and i want to start it agian.

It's usually just you and me around this house- and sometimes i find myself talking to you like we're just girl friends doing dishes and eating cheetos. i know that you cant understand me, and sometimes you look at me with a confused face, or you just start laughing at me, but i love it. I love having you follow me around the house as i fold laundry, or dust the shelves. I love hanging out all afternoon playing with toys or reading books in our warm sunny family room. Sometimes, after dad goes to school, we crawl back into bed and play under the sheets. Sometimes, we go for long walks or jogs around the neighborhood. Sometimes we go to grocery store, and i can harldy get down the isle without soemone just oogling over you--and you at them.

Who could blame them?

You are an infectious little girl. Sometimes, when i'm really sad...maybe even crying, you smile and it just pulls me from wherever i am, and back to you. back to your smiles and laughs.

I'm going to write about our adventures little lady. I'm going to write aobut YOUR adventures.

I love you lou lou.
