I couldn't ask for a better friend...


So Michelle gave Trevor and I our crib and got our bedding for us. The crib is very sentimental to me. It was Bella's when she was a baby. The many times I put her down and got her up. The look of excitement when you came to get her. She never tried to climb out, so she would always call out for you to come and get her, "Mommy, Jojo, it's a beautiful morning." The times I slept in her room with her while Brad and Michelle were out of town. All of the memories of her, while using it, from a new born up until she was 3. I am just so happy Michelle passed it down to me, so my little Lyla can use it. I can't wait to add more memories to this crib.














The bedding...I had found this bedding online and loved it. Michelle had asked me, before sending the crib, if there was any bedding I liked. She has a friend who owns a baby store, she thought she might carry the brand and be able to get it wholesale. So I waited...hoping this was the case, so Trev and I could save $$ (It wasn't very cheap bedding). Well her friend didn't carry it, so we were back at square one. A few weeks later I get a text from Michelle telling me she has an idea. So I text her back wondering what it was, because I love her input and ideas. And no reply. So I call her a few days later and finally get a hold of her. She tells me another one of her friends might be able to get us a deal on it...which isn't true...so I wait. Well on March 14, the day before my birthday I get a package addressed to me. I start to open it not knowing what it is and to my complete surprise, my bedding, from her, as a birthday gift! I immediately call her to thank her. She later confesses that she made the story up, there was not second friend, she wanted to surprise me by getting it for my birthday. I couldn't ask for a better friend. Thank you so much Michelle.

Mad Sky Kids

Mad Sky Kids, is another brand that I'm finding I like a lot. Most of there stuff is really sweet, but I really like the fabric choices. This line has more color, and designs. These are a few outfits I like and hope to purchase as well.









Kissy Kissy

Kissy Kissy is by far my favorite baby brand yet! They use a prima cotton, which is SUPER SOFT. I want my baby in really soft stuff so they are comfy and very soft to cuddle with. Most of there clothes are really plain, but at the same time very fashionable, cute and detailed. My next purchase will be one if not all of these outfits. I just love them.


































































The other thing I really love about this brand is they have converter gowns. Gowns are really nice with newborns but once they start sticking their legs out of them and they no longer are covering the legs, these gowns convert into pants. So it's like buying two outfits for the price of one. It's all about function, right?



































I also think this white dress is super cute. I already have a white dress from kissy kissy that my mom bought me, but it's still really sweet.

Honda Ruckus..Is Here

Well, Trevor and I got a scooter and let me tell you, it is so fun!!! I've wanted a scooter forever.












































I've only driven it once, but the one time I drove it was a blast. I can't wait until Lyla is here so I can drive it more. It's been nice having the scooter. Trevor is able to come and go and I am able to come and go. This is by far one of the best purchases here in Oregon.

Winter Break

We had a lot of fun over Trevor's 4 week break. We were able to go to St. George and Salt Lake to visit family. Here are a few highlights of our trip. We love and miss our family so much.

















It got so cold in St. George, Tammi and Jerry's fountain froze
























































I was able to go and visit my grandma. She is even more sweet and funnier than before. I even got to witness my grandma's strength. A guy named Jack, who I think likes my grandma, came into her room while we were their. She grabbed his shirt and started to pull him out of her room. He sat down on the floor. She smacked him on his head and exchanged a bit of language for him to get out. My grandma totally won.

Olivia Jane

Michelle Reedy finally had her baby and she is so cute. It was so fun seeing Michelle in action, she is such a cute mom. It was also a lot of fun being able to see Bella as a big sister. I am sure little Olivia will look up to her so much. I am so excited that she finally has a baby sister, after all the trouble Michelle had. Congratulations Brad and Michelle. We love and miss you so much.
