Dave's Birthday


This is way past due. Dave's 29th birthday was the end of March and I am pretty proud of what I planned for him this year. Dave loves hunting, guns, shooting, etc. I, on the other hand, am not as thrilled with the above as he. However, I had a very awesome patient/friend that got me a great deal to take Dave shooting at an indoor shooting range for his birthday. He (or should I say we) had a blast. We both got 100 rounds each with a semi machine gun, 100 rounds each with a regular machine gun, and 50 rounds each with a handgun. Everyone at the range stopped and stared when we were shooting the machine guns because they were so loud and all of the other men there were jealous of Dave. All in all, I have to say I think that will be a birthday Dave will remember for a long time to come.

Photo Shoot in Arkansas

The middle of February, London and I took a trip to Arkansas. Yes, I ventured on a 3+ hour flight alone with London but she happened to do pretty well for a 6-1/2 month old.

My oldest sister lives in Arkansas and we were headed to spend time with her and her family for a week. My other sister and my mom joined us a few days later and we had an excellent most needed girls week.

We laughed, ate, played, shopped and enjoyed!!

While there, my oldest sister Andrea, who is amazing at everything she does, offered to do London's 6 monthish pictures. Even though it was the only day London was somewhat grumpy they turned out very cute.

Take a peek...






























Wrong about the tooth

So about a month ago, Dave and I thought London was cutting her first tooth. But it was something on the top that we could feel. She had all the cranky symptoms but it ended up not being a tooth.
But low and behold about 2 days ago, the first one finally came through. Yay!! We had a couple of cranky nights, up until midnight or so because of it, but we made and still have many more to go!
We love you London!!

7 months

Here are some of your new milestones



-So you really hadn't cut a tooth before, but you do have one now. The left lower central finally worked its way through

-You can sit up all by yourself and love viewing the world from that perspective

-You love your exersaucer and can play in it for over an hour

-You are still very much a tv baby and love sesame street

-Even though you love daddy, you are very much a momma's girl

-You are a great eater, you love your veggies, fruit, mum mums, and dried fruits

-You are a good cuddler in the morning and I savor it everyday!

-You have been trying to hold your own bottle, but still working on it

-Trying to figure out the sippy cup still

Puzzle Project

I bought a custom made puzzle for London at a craft fair in Utah and planned on painting it sometime soon. Well I finally got to it and we are going to give it to her for Valentines day. Dave added the beautiful knobs so that she can pick the pieces up easier. I love how it turned out!

Sick Baby




London has been sick all weekend. And it is not fun at all! I feel so bad for her and I want my happy little baby back!

Cars

So Dave does not have ANY luck with cars.
Since we have been married he has totaled, well 3 now (none of which were his fault)
Two were wrecks which just happened to be within a month of each other and the 3 was well stolen.

Yes I said STOLEN.

About a week and a half ago Dave walked out to go to work and found that his car was not were he had left it. In fact it was no where to be found.
He came back inside to tell me his car had been stolen. He was laughing at the situation because there was really nothing else he could do, I on the other hand did not find it funny AT ALL! Another car...really?

Well we filed a police report (at that point we were told that they have an 85% success of finding cars, but also told that Honda Civics, Dave's car, is the #1 car stolen in America...great!)

Well we got a call about 2 nights later, at 4 a.m. might I add. It had been found abandoned in a parking lot and was being taken to a tow yard. We went to see the car later that day once we were actually awake. Lets just say it had been taken for quite the joyride and the insurance ended up totaling it out.






I can't believe people. The only things that were taken were the cd player and our apt complex gate opener, yet they still had to trash the rest of the car? It reaked of smoke, ash everywhere, cig burns all over, big dent through the hood, and dents on the roof, etc.

Well after much sulking from me, because we had just recently paid off my car and were car payment free (for like a week) we got to looking for a new car. We decided that now might be our opportunity to upgrade to an SUV since even after just one kid you feel like you take your whole house when you travel. We ended up going through a guy my dad knows well that goes to the car auction here in Vegas. All of the cars were previous rentals and/or leases and have no major problems/damage. We ended up getting an AMAZING deal and fairly quick too. We are really excited with our new car. Check it out.
