Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving I headed to Overton and spent a few days with Jessica Jakell all the Kids and mom. We had such a great time just hanging out. here are a few pictures...

Then Jakell Khloe True and I headed to Marysvale!! It was freezing!! It got to -15 and it snowed!! After being away for so long I was very cold!But despite the cold it was SO great to be home and see the family.

We did spend some time with my dad too but I didint get any pictures. We then had a third Thanksgiving dinner with Jessica on Saturday. I only got a couple pictures.I wont post them though because the are of Jessica burnt cherry pie. :) She just lost track of time after my mother told her to broil it to make it brown well it was so brown grace thought it was chocolate!!!

 KHLOE ROLLED FROM HER BELLY TO HER BACK!!!

she is now 3 months old and is getting so big.

Halloween, Khloe and Family time

Since my last post we have been doing a lot of nothing, spending time with Joey before he left and just hanging out. Its been awesome. 

For Halloween Khloe was a kitty! She was so darn cute!! We bought so much candy and didnt get any trick or treaters! So we just ate the candy:)

We had Thanksgiving dinner for Joey before he left.We had friends over and it all turned out really great. I was so busy cooking I didnt get any pictures. 

Khloe is now 2 1/2 months old!! 

She is talking SO much

She loves music and when you sing to her. 

She no longer like to be held like a baby unless she is really tired

She can hold her head up really well , and can even sit up by herself a littler bit 

She is always smiling , and I think she will be laughing anyday now

She does not like when you hold her sitting down. You have to be bouncing around with her facing out

She LOVES her daddy!

She is still in newborn clothes

She has found her hand and is always playing with them. 

She like t.v.:( I try to limit how much we watch but she just loves it so we dance around to all the crazy kids shows. 

She loves her swing and I LOVE her swing too, I can get so much more done now.

 Our little sleeping beauty

Khloe the kitty 

The sad ending to this post is Khloe and I sent Joey off yesterday for deployment. We got to the airport and I was about to break out into tears at any moment . Khloe decided to have a BLOW OUT! I didnt bring any extra clothes so that was nice but daddy didnt care he thought it was funny and it kind of broke the sadness. It was so hard to say goodbye but we are so proud of him and appreciate the sacrifices he is making for our family. We will miss him so much! We love you!!!!!!

Our first road trip

Joey had to leave for a week of training so Khloe and headed to Overton....

The trip down I had to stop three times. 

First to fix he head I hate when it falls she looks so uncomfortable.

Second to feed and change her

Third to get something to eat, go to the bathroom, feed and change Khloe. 

We made it in 71/2 hours!!! We were both so ready to get out of that car! 

I stayed mostly at Jessica and Kyles house( THANK YOU) The girls and True just love Khloe. Grace of course couldn't wait but Alayana was so in awe of her she was always touching her and helping put her binky back in.True and Addison thought she was neat for a minute then went along tearing up the house! I swear as soon as I sat her down it was a swarm of the kids around her. She seemed to really enjoy it! The first couple days we just drank Pepsi with the amazing ice at Lins and hung out. My dad and Grandma and Grandpa Joe came down as well as Terrie and My Grandma Helen. Im so glad they all got to meet her! Half way through my visit I got a terrible flu. I was out of commission for a few days. Khloe then started to throw up and had been super fussy:( Let me tell you I have never felt so helpless. I wish I could help her and make all her sickness go away!! I did what I could and she seemed to feel better.My mom took us to her house and took care of us and we let Jess have a little break from us. I had felt a little better so Jess me and mom ( Kell was at work:( ) We decided to make candy and caramel apples! It was a disaster, the caramel wouldnt stick to the apples the chocolate wouldnt stick to the caramel. The candy apples were WAY to sticky and about ripped our teeth out. But in true fashion we had a contest whos was better and if you ask each one of us whos was the best we would say our own. We all know mine were the best though!! I got to visit with Kell a little bit but she worked most of the time. It was so nice to see everyone but before we knew it it was time to go home.

The trip home only took us 6 1/2 hours  but it was WAY WORSE, Khloe had not got over her sickness and I still was not feeling well so she cried and fussed the whole way! It rained on us and was really foggy. Plus you have to love Cali drivers, one almost ran me off the road Khloe cried and then I cried! 

I finally got home and we had carved pumpkins before I left ( we also had a contest for this I WON.. of course) I got Khloe in the house and layed her on a blanket and went to take pictures of our pumpkins they were completely rotted. I closed the sliding glass door behind me because it was chilly.I turn around to come back in and the door wont open!!!! ITS LOCKED! I locked my self on my balcony ( our town house is two stories and the balcony is above the car port. I pushed and pulled at the door and started to panic. There my baby is all alone inside while im locked out. I had many Ideas how to get in but none of them seemed that great.. I could jump but I would break both my legs, I could tie my hose on the railing and shimmy myself down but again I would end up falling and break my legs. I could break the glass but Khloe was way to close to the door. I swear I started to hyperventilate . Just then a neighbor pulled up and thankfully I left my front door unlocked so I frantically asked her to come in my house and let me in! She probably thinks I am a crazy person now but all is well I got in! Good thing I didnt have to hurl myself over the balcony!!!!

Overall our trip was very good and we enjoyed being with the family but we are happy to be home and we missed Joey so much!!!

8 weeks!

Where is the time going!! My baby is growing so fast. She is getting more and more on a schedule and sleeping mostly through the nights. She is so happy and smiling all the time. I swear she will laugh any day now she tries so hard to push it out but ends up doing this little cough thing that is so dang cute! She loves to cuddle just like mommy and daddy. and she is holding her head up so good, still just a little wobbly but we are getting there!!

 Getting Chunky!
