Mommy make over

Yesterday my mom, Ceryn and Cody came over to visit. We watched Tangled and decided to give my mom a makeover. Here's how it went....

Before
During
After

Ceryn dyed her hair, plucked her eyebrows and did her make up and I did her hair. It was fun and she looks beautiful! I love her so much. She works so hard and she deserves to be pampered everyday.

Busy, Busy.

Sorry I have been M.I.A. I'm starting to get more artwork that I get to do from home for work. Not to mention taking care of Abi who has been sleeping all night and awake all day. Not quite but almost. Our day consists of....
Medication
Eat
Social time (I talk to her and count to ten and sing ABC's while watching a Soap Opera. ((I know, I know.)) :)
Grabbing game. Trying to teach her to grab things that make noise so she knows that she is the one making it do it.
Eat
Small nap while I work on art and eat lunch quickly.
Vitamins and mirror time.
Carry her around while cleaning.
Eat
Read her a book or two.
Sit up game that strengthens her muscles and tummy time which she still hates.
Nap while I make dinner and work on art.
Eat
Dad comes home Yay! We eat dinner and we sit to watch tv while Matt plays with her. This is her fussy time so he has to walk around bouncing her a lot.
Eat
Bath time (She LOVES the bath and cries when she has to get out.)
PJ's, lotion and medication
Eat
Swaddle bounce and bed time.

If you have any suggestions on how to occupy her while teaching please let me know. I want her to be miss smarty pants. :)

This is what else we have been up to....

Mothers Day! I finally get to be on the other end of celebrating Mothers Day! It was our first day at our new ward at church. I don't think we will ever have a ward as fun as our last one. There are about 4 ladies in Relief Society my age vs. about 40 in my old ward. I hope I can make a few friends. They do have really good teachers there and I do feel the Spirit so that is what matters the most. I hung out with this cute girl and Matt all day being lazy....
And enjoyed this yummy fruit Pizza I made the night before. So yummy!

Matt got me this Awesome painting that I was eyeing about 3 years ago when we were cleaning the model homes in our development. Matt remembered and bought it when they sold the unit. I thought it was so sweet that he remembered. It was a $350.00 painting that he paid $50.00 for! I know it's a little strange but I love art that is different. It is so huge!
We went to Vernal last week to visit Matt's family and go riding. Abi did so well! She whimpered a little before we stopped in Heber to feed her but we were able to go the rest of the way with silence. She slept the first half and played and talked with me the second half. She enjoyed all of the attention from Grandma and Grandpa Watson....

and Matt's sisters family who had an awesome Mexican BBQ for us.

She slept well and slept both nights getting up at 5 and then not until 9:30!

She had a great time.
Matt and I went riding for a couple hours. Abi didn't eat for 4 hours and was perfectly fine. She knew I had to get out and play. We did but apparently I forgot how to ride because I wrecked not once but twice bruising my whole shin, jammed my back and wrist, and received dirt rash on both arms and chin. I was too embarrassed to take pics sorry.

But all in all it was a great weekend. On the way back Abi did just as well as on the way up and we stopped at Bridal Veil Falls to have her eat. It was so nice up the canyon!


This is just a funny picture of how I found Abi in her crib. She is supposed to be up against the rolled up blanket! :)

I just had to take a picture of this awesome hat I got for Abi! How cute is that!
Anyway, that is what we have been up to. All is well except STILL NO BOTTLE! We are still trying though. Wish us luck!

Blessing

I have watched baby blessings for the last couple of years wondering what my babies blessing would be like. It was everything I imagined. Matt did an awesome job. Both of our emediate families were all there. My Dad went to church for the first time in atleast 10 years. I had to bear my testimony. I don't do well in public speaking but I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Here are some pictures.... Oh, and yes my talented mom made her beautiful dress.

My family.
Matt's family.
Matt's mom and Dad.




I have tried to take Abi on a walk for a couple weeks now. This is Abi in her cute hoodie. We didn't go this day. It was too windy outside.

Finally today we were able to go to a local park. I couldn't figure out how to fold up the stroller so put it in the back of the truck. I had to take a picture because I thought it was pretty funny. Hey, I'm a new mom. What do you expect?
Abi doesn't like the sun. She barely opened her eyes and it was a cloudy day.

Hope she gets use to it because I plan on going 3 times a week.
