May 2013

This month Liam was scheduled for surgery and was canceled.

Can't say I am thrilled about that.

Call me a bad mother for wanting it.
My poor baby still doesn't do much.

We are trying to get him to roll over but won't and just falls right to sleep when we put him on his tummy.

Eliana has become a fan of pretend play and dress up.

Nothing wrong with that, in fact, I am loving it.

She will just twirl in her tinker bell costume. Casey isn't a fan of her but Eliana doesn't know her she just likes her costume and will dance around in it.

I also forgot to mention how much Eliana loves to sing. Always.

But the last time we went to the Beach Resort we bought her an inflatable microphone.

She just loves to sing on that thing.

"I will always love you" Celine Dion is a favorite.

And for some reason we tell Eliana it's "nose" and she says "honk"

And she likes for her doll to travel with her in her car seat.

At the beginning of the month we took Eliana and Liam to the place were Casey proposed.

It's a special place for us and they enjoyed it.

Eliana just loves the outdoors.

We had a picnic on the back of our new volvo. 

Sadly I had a miscarriage the beginning of the month.

I was two months pregnant but we still were able to enjoy ourselves out and about.

Since Liam was scheduled for surgery my mom offered to come help.

SO she was in town for a while.

Before we picked my mom up from the airport we took the kids to the SLC zoo.

It was so much fun.

Hot but fun.

Eliana is an animal lover so she just went crazy. 

She was a little scared of the rhino statue but she took up the courage to touch him. Then she tried climbing his back.

We only stayed for a couple of hours since we knew Eliana wouldn't be able to take it but 

She definitely had a blast. I thought she was going to be tired but we were more tired than she was.

I can't really say what her favorite was but I am going to guess rhino because she hadn't seen one before.

There was a little boy who was with a big family and he got on a scale to see how much he weighed. He then told his family to get on. Want to guess what happened?

Eliana just got right on top, in front of him like they were talking to her.

Such a cute girl.

Since Liam's surgery was canceled my mom decided to go home earlier but we still took advantage wile she was here.

Casey and I had a date.

We went to Trafalga as Casey's early birthday bash.

We had fun at the batting cages, racing, playing putt putt.

I think I have mastered the technique in putt putt.

But since it was Casey's birthday I let him win.

We were also blessed to see Elder L. Tom Perry at a Wendy's we were eating.

The highlight of the month was....

I haven't changed my ID and I've been married over 2 years. Sue me.

I went to the bank to withdraw money. They said I needed to change my ID. They would only help me this time. Before leaving they said "And congrats on your marriage!"

Ah man.

Ps

I am so grateful to be a mother and be blessed with beautiful children. It's like having the sun and the moon at the same time. Eliana means "daughter of the sun". Such a bright girl. Full of love, energy and so much warmth. Always giving kisses and big hugs. Liam. Protects the home while daddy is at work. (Even if he falls asleep on the job). He has done so much for our family and there is no doubt in my mind he will do greater things. Our little moon. Lights the way through our darkest times. It's hard not to just stop, stare, just breathe and smile and feel peace. I'm in love with my husband and kids.
