Lazy Sunday

Yesterday we had a really lazy Sunday. It was nice because we have been so busy lately. We spent the whole day in our pajamas and watched football. Dave is getting very close to finishing up his Master's degree so he spent a little time in the office doing schoolwork but first he cleaned the whole kitchen and let me sleep in! He is a very good husband and daddy. Here is a video of him and Quinn being silly. She loves when Dave throws her around but it makes me so nervous! 

It was really nice outside yesterday and Charlie was full of energy so we decided to take a walk. I found this super cute outfit in Quinn's closet that I forgot she had. We thought she looked so cute. 

Quinn is getting so big. She loves to eat table food and isn't really interested in her bottle anymore. It does make dinner time a bit more of a mess. Her chair is always SO messy and we usually have to get a bath afterwards. The dogs love to sit around and wait for any droppings. She really LOVES feeding herself and smiles the whole meal. Here are some pictures of the little babe! 

It was a great day! The wonderful day was followed by Quinn fighting her sleep until 12:15 am and falling asleep while sitting up. Ever since the move she has refused to sleep in her crib but will only sleep in our bed. She is such a stinker! 

We are heading to Colorado for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. I will post about our trip when we get back. 

Sundays are good, life is good!! 

Happy Monday

Today Dave was off work for Veteran's Day so we decided to head down to Salt Lake City. It is about 45 minutes south of where we live. First we went to a place for breakfast called Park Cafe. It was a cute little place with an eclectic vibe. We absolutely loved it and will be going back. If you live in Utah, you should give it a try.
After breakfast we went to the Utah natural history museum. We got in free because we were military so that is always nice. It was a really nice museum with very pretty views of the mountains. Quinn enjoyed herself.

On the way home we stopped into Costco to get Quinn's formula (I can not wait until she is drinking regular milk..... that stuff is expensive!) and we found a Chipotle! There isn't one close to our house so we had to eat there for lunch! 

When we got home I had Dave help me with some decorating. We are slowly getting the house together. Now that I know we will be here for at least 2 years I want to make it cute! The first picture is going down our basement stairs. I love how it turned out! 

I have been looking for a bookshelf for Q's room for a while now and haven't found anything I like. On Saturday I stopped into a couple stores around Layton that are vintage and re-purposed shops. I found this super cute bookshelf and the old pictures. I think it turned out cute and it fits the space nicely. Her nursery in Ohio was SO cute..... this room isn't even close but I am trying! : ) 

Finally to end our day.... Quinn has decided to start walking behind her walking toy. She is getting too big!!! 

Mondays with the hubs are good..... Life is good! 

Where does the time go?!?!

Quinn is 9 months old! I can't believe it. She is getting so big... way too fast. She is getting super fast with her crawling and gets into EVERYTHING. Yesterday she tried to crawl while holding Dave's phone and fell on her face. It wasn't funny that she cried but it was funny that she was trying to crawl and hold the phone at the same time. She loves phones!  For Christmas we got her one of those cases for babies that you can put your phone in and they can play with it. We gave it to her yesterday.... and she loves it : )
Today she managed to get to the dog bowl before we could get to her and spilled the entire bowl full of water. The floor was soaked and she needed to be changed. She is talking up a storm and loves to wave and clap. She is the best and makes us laugh all the time. I just love her so much!
A quick summary about other less important things in our life: I started a new job and LOVE it. Which is good for the whole family because when mama isn't happy.... nobody is happy! : )  I am working at the Utah school for the deaf and blind. My entire caseload is children with hearing loss and I get to use ASL everyday. It really is an awesome job and I am excited to see what I can learn.
The dogs are good... I think they are finally adjusting to not getting very much attention. Charlie is very happy because we got about 6 inches of snow yesterday and he enjoys playing frisbee in it. Sammy hates the snow and uses the bathroom on the deck so that he doesn't have to walk out into it... awesome.
Dave's job is going well and he likes it. We have met some good friends and are enjoying our time in Utah. We just found out we will definitely be here for at least 2 years and are happy about that. Feel free to come out and visit...... it is SO pretty! : )
