Family pics

We got some family pictures done! I can't believe 1 week and my baby girl is 1!!! I have one more week though so I'll enjoy her being a baby for a few more days before I do her 1 year old post! Sorry for the picture overload! :)

11 Months!!

Em is 11 months! I can't believe it, one more and she's not a baby anymore! I'm a little late cause we were off visiting my grandparents. she was 11 months on the 3rd! *She is Walking! It is so fun/cute! and she loves it! *She loves to dance *She claps her hands,waves bye-bye,and clicks her tongue *She hates baths *loves to be outside *gives the best kisses! *laughs at and scrunches her nose all the time. so cute! *likes eating big girl food *gabbers all the time, she's got lots to say Love you more and more by the minute Em, you are the sweetest,funniest little girl out there! We had a great time visiting my grandparents. We went with my parents. We checked out the new city creek mall and just hung out and visited! Em had fun too, she climbed right up on my grandmas lap and rocked with her. I wish we could see them more!

Big Changes

Lots of new changes have happened. First off my parents came for a visit. We were thinking we'd get to move that weekend but we didn't so instead we were able to play. We had a great time having them. Em warmed up quick and was loving her grandma and grandpa! They took a truck full of our stuff and our car back for us too. The next weekend Randan got out of the Marine Corps!!! I still can't believe he's out :)The Marine Corps is all we've known the past 4.5 years! Randan has accomplished so much and he has so much to be proud of, I think we'll both miss it a tad but we're excited for whats next. Randan was so ready to move on from the Marine Corps. Our house is rented out until August so my parents were so nice to let us stay at their St.George house, which we are so grateful for. We've been a little lost. Randan had a job planned out and it fell through, we were pretty bummed but I know it happened for a reason. Randan's decided he's going to go to school. We think he might join the guard and the ROTC as well, gotta have a little Military in there, nothing like he's used to but just enough. We're really excited/nervous for this new chapter. We're hoping we can get ready in time for him to start in May! I'm really excited for Randan and I know he'll do great! on another note! MISS EMMA IS WALKING!!! like full on walking, it is SO fun!! I'm probably the silliest first time mom out there but I get so excited every time I see her. It was so cute at first when she'd do it she'd laugh while she was walking, she thought it was funny stuff! She's pretty wobbly especially when she's tired but she just gets back up! We're having so much fun being close to family and having cousins aunts uncles grandmas and grandpas to play with. I can't believe she's gonna be a year here in a month! It sure goes by fast!

10 months & a bike ride

Today Emma is 10 months old. I can't believe it. 2 more months and my babe is a year, where did the time go. *She has 6 teeth. 4 on bottom and her 2 front teeth! her top ones are so far apart, it is so cute and so funny. *She scrunches her nose when she laughs. (without realizing it I may have been the one who taught her this) she also does it while sniffing in and out, its so funny *She loves real, none baby food. but she still eats baby food good. *She is starting to walk WHAT!!! ha, she'll take 4-5 steps. *loves to be outside *hates to have her hair done. which with a little gel is pretty curly *Love you so much Emma, you bring us so much happiness!!

On another note today we got a bike trailer which converts into a jogger and we went for a bike ride. We went to the Aliso Woods trails, which we went to when we first got the bikes a few years ago. It is SO SO pretty. And there is so many fun tails. We had a blast and it was so relaxing. Emma loved it.

Stahelis come for a visit!

Randan and I have loved all the company, this weekend my sister and her cute family came to visit. They got here late Wednesday night and Thursday they went to Lego Land. We didn't go cause Randan had his last Doctor appointment. All went well with that and we're just waiting for him to get out!! He is so excited to be out and to move on, and i'm happy for him! anyways, Friday we went to the beach, we kind of picked a bad day for it, it was pretty cold but still a lot of fun. Randan and Reece even got in the water with the boogie boards and road some waves while the kids played in the sand. Even Em got in on the Sand playin'! The past few times we've gone she hasn't loved the sand and this time she was havin fun with it! Saturday we all went to Old Town in San Diego. It wasn't as fun as I expected but we still had a good time. Ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant, got some Candy at a cool candy shop and looked at all the shops etc. We had so much fun having them here. In the mornings we'd play horse/basketball at the park behind our house, we ate some good food, played games at night and had great company. Lots of laughs! I asked Macee (Meags daughter) what her favorite part of there vacation was and she said sleeping in my sleeping bag at night haha, she's so cute!) Emma's getting used to people so keep the company coming! :) I think my parents are coming this next weekend!
(Meag send me the pictures from your camera :)

Randan's family visits!!

Fran, Jess, Kaydee, and all the kids came to visit! It was so fun having them here. We played at the beach most of the time. The beach really never gets old it is one of the main things I will miss about California for sure! Its so relaxing, peaceful, pretty and fun. The water was really cold so we didn't get in it much, except for chasing after Shelby, that girl loved the water! She was so cute, you could tell she was dead tired but she just kept running back for the water! Emma wasn't quite herself, I think she just isn't used to all the people, something i hate about living away from family. She was so sober the whole time. oh well we'll be back soon and she'll be able to warm up to everyone. Thanks for coming guys!
