Funny Lyla

Lyla starting do this whenever she would get mad. Most of the time it was while she was in her chair waiting to be fed. One day she just started doing it because Trevor and I were totally laughing at her. She puts so much effort into it. She is such a doll, so much fun, we just love her to death.



Lyla laughing at her two boyfriends, Easton and Trennon. She could play with them forever.

Picture Time

While we were in St. George Tammi took some pictures of Lyla, for her website, featuring the blocks. I love the way they turned out. They look vintage with the colors in the room and the lighting we had. Thanks again Tammi I love them. The crocheted dress that she is wearing was Trevor's moms. I think she was blessed in it and so was her cousin Mia.


Salt Lake Fun

After christmas we headed to Utah to visit both mine and Trevor's family. We had a lot of fun with family and friends. I wish I would have taken more pictures. We were able to see some of my aunts and uncles and some cousins before heading to St. George. It was really nice to see them because they only come out twice a year, christmas and summer.

We also got to have another christmas while we were there. Lyla was so spoiled all the gifts from grandparents, aunts and uncles. She is one spoiled baby. My sister got her this adorable coat. Thanks again Whitney

She also got a bunch of toys, a scrapbook of her first year and some clothes. We sure do love family. Thanks again everyone. We love you.

Sorry the videos are sideways, I can't figure out how to turn it. It's my first time uploading a movie, so it is still a work in progress.


We put Lyla in this jumper, but she wasn't heavy enough to really touch the ground...so she looks like a fish out of water, the way she is jumping.


Lyla and Dex playing. They are so cute.


Both of the babies sleeping with Josh and Geneal.

Over break Trevor and I both got sick with the flu. I was sick all New Years and Trevor got it after I did. My brother also had to get his appendix out while we were in town. He ended up getting fluid in his lungs and started coughing and throwing up blood. They had to move him into the ICU for several hours. He was put on oxygen until he could get his oxygen levels back to normal. He doesn't have insurance and just to stay in the ICU for 24 hours costs $10,000.00. I think he was in there for about a total of 12-14 hours. Luckily IHC gets a bunch of donations for this type of situation. So Hopefully a lot of it gets covered. So a half-a-day hospital stay ended up being I think a 3 day hospital stay. He is doing a ton better now and we are so glad. We love you Josh.

Sweetest Daddy Ever


After a morning shower with mommy, getting dressed and then time for...the picture explains the rest...and...Trevor is the sweetest daddy ever!!!

Our Christmas Haps

We had a lot of fun having our own christmas with our little family. We took Lyla to see Santa, she was really cute in line, but the second we sat her in Santa's lap total stink eye to everyone.


Santa's helpers brought some new PJs for sweet Lyla. Her she is in front of her christmas tree with her new jams.


Trevor also got us a nice new fire place. It was so nice being able to have a fire going all night Christmas eve and coming downstairs Christmas morning to a fire. You are such a clever man...you Trev.


Also Oregon got hit pretty hard with snow. Now this is nothing compared to Salt Lake snow, but here in Oregon they don't have the proper snow equipment to clear any streets. So you get a bit of snow and the whole city shuts down. All the while a few classes canceled, a few take home/open book finales and it's still snowing. It snowed for a week straight. The biggest storm in about 10 years. The roads were a giant ice rink. The roads were rutted from everyone driving and getting out of the ruts to turn was almost impossible. You would fishtail every time and a few times we missed our turn because we were stuck in the ruts. Well here are a few pics where we live. I didn't get any pictures at the peek of it all, so a bunch of snow had already melted by this time.



Lyla's first snow!! I think she loved it...It's got to be the Utah in her.
