Soni

This summer my nephew Soni came to spend a little time with Grandma and Grandpa and see friends! It was so good to see him! We have missed all of the kids and Lelah a lot.  Elizabeth LOVED Soni.  All she could talk about when he was here was going to play with "my Soni".  He was such a good buddy to play with.  Just like his Grandpa he did what ever she wanted to do!  Thanks buddy for playing and loving Elizabeth so much!

Natrona County Fair

Ok blog friends here is an update of the summer and the start of the fall.  Ive put it off all summer so the next few post will be what happened this summer.

Every year there's the fair and rodeo.  Luke and I like to go and have a date night and just watch the people and the rodeo.  This year we went on out date and then Elizabeth and I had a date to the rodeo.  We had a blast! Elizabeth didn't stop talking about the horse and the cows for days after we went.  She was also very much convinced that she was going to ride a horse just like the Cowboys. She did such a wonderful job sitting still and watching all of the action...she got like 5 complements on how well she did!



Me on our date



Elizabeth loves the animals. She wanted to pet all of the small ones.



The one animal that was bigger than her that she would pet...
Its a cow!



So excited to be watching the Cowboys and the animals and the cows

Temple 2008

June 2008 Luke and I went to the Billings Temple to be ceiled. It was a wonderful day! My friend Holly took the pictures and got them to me this last June so this post is a little over due. Oh well such is life! We just want to thank our family and friends that help celebrate that wonderful day with us! We love you all!
Elizabeth was such a wonderful daughter! It was a very long day!!!

Giving mom some much needed hugs! Love my little girl to pieces!

Pre-ceiling....we look confused and scared!

Trip to the Falls

One Saturday in July we had a family day and went up to the falls on Casper Mountain. I wasn't very happy with the ideas but I'm glad we went. Elizabeth and Luke loved being out side and able to relax a little. Luke took Elizabeth over to see the falls. She didn't like it cause of the mist.

She will always find a good rock pile to play in.

Elizabeth in front of the falls. She was standing there like her mom with her hands on the hips.

The picture of me that Luke had to take. 5 months pregnant, not a happy camper.

Luke and the falls. He loved taking his family up there for a while and watching the people.

The wonderful piece of nature that lives just minutes from us! It is so peaceful up there!

Update on life

Ok here is an update on life. We've enjoyed going out to the lake and swimming! Elizabeth loves being able to run in and out of the water. She loves to play in the sand! We are still working on potty training so we take her potty with us and she goes where ever she has to go. At the lake or up on the mountain. She hasn't gotten the idea of not pottying in her potty.







She loves the water. If we let her she would stay out at the lake every day all day long. We don't get to spend a lot of time out there but when we do its for hours. It wonderful time that we spend together!

In beginning of July I went to the doctors to have my ultrasound. We loved seeing the baby and finding out that its a boy. He will be named Noah John. We are every excited to be parents to both of our children. Elizabeth loves the pictures we have of Noah. She loves sharing them with anybody and everybody that she can.

This pregnancie has been really hard on my body. So when ever I hurt Elizabeth hurts. When ever mom needs ice she needs ice. So she loves laying down with the ice bag on her back like mom! Its so funny!

Elizabeth and I went to Casper annual parade this month. She had so much fun watching the floats and people. She was very spoiled by other people giving her candy. I wouldn't let her get out there with the rest of the kids and get right out there for candy. She did wonderful in the hot sun for along time!

Other news....we are going to be making a huge life change in January. I am very excited for it to come. I will tell you more details closer to the date. I also got a new camera as my other one got cracked somehow. That's all for know! Love you all lots!

New Room!!!

Here are the room pictures from Elizabeth's new room. We did her room in a weekend and she loves it!!

She helped us paint. She was so excited to paint her room pink!

This was the first family fishing trip. Luke has a really good friend that went with us. Elizabeth didn't catch any fish but her daddy did. She held the fish for about 5 seconds and then she was done! We had so much fun! We plan on going again sometime soon!

Trip To Colorado

The middle of May we went to my high school friends college graduation and spent a few days with her and her boy friend. While we were there we did a lot of fun activities. A few afternoons

we went to a couple of parks. Elizabeth had so much fun playing with Marissa and Will. Having them at her beck and call was the best part of being there for her. We also did a craft one afternoon. It was so much fun to see them and be able to spend a few days with them!

After spending time with them we went to my dad's house for a few days. It was a good visit. Just having time to relax and do a lot
of nothing was fun. Getting ready to go to my moms!

After Dad's house we went to my mom's house for the rest of the time we were in Colorado. My sister flew in from Arizona for my cousin's graduation and memorial day. We had a lot of fun times with her! Glad she was able to come! The first weekend at my mom's house we went to my uncles house for Tara's graduation. For the most part it was a good weekend. A lot of traveling in a short amount of time was the only down fall.

The next week went by fast. We went to my mom's work and helped her finish the school year and pack her room. We also spent a lot of time with my sister. Elizabeth loves her aunt so so much! Glad we have her as a sister and an aunt.

At the end of the week we went to my grandpas house. I'm glad we went! It was a wonderful time spending Friday with my pa all by himself! We had a wonderful visit. Saturday my Grandpa had water in the ditch. SO at 7:30 am Elizabeth was in her swimming suit and was in the water all day long. She finally got out of the water around 6:00ish or so. She had such a wonderful time!
Sunday we went back over to my uncles house to go over to the cemetery that my grandma in buried in. It was a wonderful time but a very hard time. Memorial day is always hard and being pregnant it was even harder. It is always a bitter sweet time seeing her! Miss her like crazy!

After that weekend it was finally time to come home! I had a wonderful time at my mom's but it was so nice to come home and sleep in my own bed and see Luke!

Mother's Day and Spring 2010

This is the start of our spring. At the end of April I had my first Drs. appointment for the baby and got a due date and pictures. Our due date in the 26th of November, but due to a C-section the baby will be born a week before that 26th. I can't even believe that we will be going through that again. I tried really hard to be able to try to have the baby naturally but due to the unknown reason of why I couldn't with Elizabeth the Dr. said "nope I don't think so." I'm a little sad about it but that's whats best for me and the baby so that's what goes.

Elizabeth has a new found love for band aids. She had to put one on everything and anything that she bumps or hits. It doesn't matter what it is hair, her butt, her lips. She gets it from my sister, her yeayea. If I let her should would have a whole box of band aids out and on her. We've gone through like 4 boxes in the last 4 months. I better start buying stock in the brand. She came out of the bathroom tonight and said "look mom band aid." She shows me her head and there is a Dora band aid in her hair where she bumped her head. Gotta love her!

For Mother's Day on Friday, Luke and Elizabeth took me out for dinner on Friday and my favorite restaurant. We had a wonder time being a family together forever. I was a wonderful time to celebrate being a mom. We came home and Elizabeth made me a card and she and Luke went and got me roses. After all was said and done it was a wonderful way to celebrate having my family.

The start of the weekend just stunk. I had the stomach flu and a horrible headache. So I spent most of the weekend in bed. Sunday I felt better but not wonderful so I decided not to spread all of my germs with my family at church so we didn't go. I slept most of Sunday. Luke then took us out to the lake to get some air. We had so much fun! After all we had a pretty good weekend.

Some pictures of our time out at the lake. Huge sandbox for Elizabeth to play in. Then she was mad because she didn't what to come home so she wouldn't leave the posts to get in the car. So Luke and I got in the car and start to pull out, boy was she mad. I think it taught her that when we say lets go we mean lets go.
