She got one!!

That's right! Lizzy finally has her first tooth! It made it's apperance last sunday around 4:30-ish. (I know that becuase just before I was fishing something out of Lizzy's mouth and felt nothing.) It's so cute!! My little girl is getting so big! We have yet to take a pic of it, but when we do, I will for sure post it.

Lizzy is the sweetest girl ever. I say girl now, because of the tooth :o( She is so funny with her fake laughs and funny, albeit weird faces. Again, I don't have any pictures at this time. Sorry.

Two weeks ago Dave's Dad and his wife came to visit us! It was so much fun seeing them. Glen and Ann live in California, so it's rare when we see them. Lizzy just loved them both! It was so cute how she was always crawling on them and wanting their attention. I'm pretty sure they enjoyed it too. They came at a great time of year, when all the leaves are changing. Unfortunately, it rained most everyday they were here. But still the farm looked amazing! So, we'd take them for rides on the golf cart, Dave picked a few wild apples, we went to Lake Michigan, bought some fudge in Suttons Bay.....Glen being the adventurous man that he is, rolled up his pant legs and went into the lake! Yeah! I touched it and it was freezing!! Ann gave a great recipe for Pok egg rolls! If anyone wants it, just ask and I will email it to you. They really are the best I have ever had!

It was great seeing them! We were so glad they came to visit. Miss you already!

Let me tell you a little something about Lizzy. Just now she wanted me to pick her up, she did her fake cry for a moment, then I got her. She was so happy, she gave me some cuddles! Oh! She just did again! She must know I am writing about her. AH! I think I will have to finish this later. In all of 2 seconds, she has stuck her finger up my nose and pulled my hair then laughed about it! FYI, it was the hair on top of my head, not in my nose. It felt like I needed to clarify. She really is sweet, but I think she needs some attention.

oh yeah, our camera is broken, that's why we have no pictures right now. Stinky eh?

I have been tagged!

I was tagged by Karla S. and here are my responses to her questions. Here we go!

1) Where did you meet your husband?

A mutual friend brought him over to my apartment.

2) What was the first thing you said to your husband?

"Dave, was it? Please leave my house." (Then after he left, I called him a jerk.) Yeah, I know, not the best start. But in my defense, he's an....an....Avs fan! Can you believe I married a Colorado Avalanche fan? Me either!

I really did kick him out though. He was trash talking the Wings! In a house full of Michigan women! 2 from D-Town! Not the smartest...

3) Where was your first date?

Probably Peaks Ice Arena for some Ice skating. Or maybe it was my brothers party.

5) Did you have a short or long engagement?

4 months. Eh? Long to some, short to others. Just right for us.

6) Where did you get engaged?

He asked me to marry him out on my parents deck at the old house. It was so sweet! It was drizzling a bit, and I had just apologized for being crabby with him because he was acting all weird. I now know that it's just the way he is! J/k, J/k. He was nervous/excited.

7) Where were you married?

SLC Temple, on Oct. 11Th 2003.

8) How did the reception go?

It was really nice! We got there late because it took forever to get our pictures done. Really, that's why were late, despite what my brothers may have told people. Perverts.

9) How was the honeymoon?

We didn't really have one. We got married on a sat. and had to be back to work on Monday. We did stay in SLC for the night at the Inn at Temple Square. For sure, we loved it!

I'm going to tag: Ben and April!

Get the poporn!

Today's double feature include a cute clip of Lizzy waving and another of her dancing! Enjoy!

A bountiful harvest

Where to begin...

Lizzy is 8 months old! Can you believe it?

She is crawling. Everywhere.

She is a tiny dancer. My girls got rhythm.

She is the best vacuum we have ever had!

She is an avid waver.

Her favorite word/phrase is "Dada Dada da" Translation: "There's my Dada!"

She is still toothless.

Again, she is very much a water baby! She loves kicking and splashing around!

Lizzy has a funny way of scrunching up her face and sucking in her top lip. She looks like a baby bird! (Abe-perhaps we have another eagle in the family) So Cute!

Oh yeah! We had a really big thunder storm the other day and it HAILED! It was awesome.

Now for a cute story. We ride G-pa's golf cart around the farm and Lizzy loves it! She squeals with excitement at the sight of it! Whenever we take her out she starts humming because she likes to hear her voice fluctuate from the bumps in the field. It's so cute we will try to catch it on video for all y'all.

We live directly across from the pear orchard and have been enjoying it. The other day we went out a picked some! We also picked some wild apples! Tis the season. I love it! It has made both Dave and I, very excited to plant fruit trees in our own yard someday! WOO HOO for self reliance. :o)

Back to the pear/apple harvest. The trees are over loaded! I am going to can apple sauce and make homemade apple pies and can the pears! Yeah for fun! If anyone has any other good recipes or ideas for the fruit, I am open for suggestions.

Beautiful Michigan

We recently went on a little jaunt to the U.P with mom and dad. And Boy! Was it ever fun! Now, I know the majority of my readers recently did the same trip, wasn't it fun? Though we did something you didn't! HA! We rowed our way across Tahquamenon Falls to the island in the middle of the river. It was so cool! Then we played in the river and in the smaller falls, Lizzy loved it. Dave got naked under the falls. Nah, He wouldn't do that...or would he...anyways, Dave rowed on the way out to the island so I did on the way back. However, I did have a bit of trouble keeping the boat heading in the correct direction. Instead of taking their chances with me, I was given a pink slip and asked to hand over the oars to Dave. Lame right? Looking back, I would say it was a great trip!

Wanna see a cute video?

Here is a cute video of Lizzy, doing what she does best. Acting cute! She is such a laugher and a giggler. She is so much fun!

Leave of absence.

So, After a long leave of absence, I am back. Lots of updates.

Lizzy is already 6 1/2 months old! She is doing great! @ her 6 mo wcc the Dr said she is developing just perfect. Though she only had gained 4 oz. since her last visit. We have been giving her lots of protein to help her pack on the pounds. And it looks like its helping. Oh yeah! He said she has reached alot of the mile markers of a 9 month old. I always knew she was brilliant.

We have moved to Michigan since I wrote last. LOVE IT!! It is so great to be back. Dave, Lizzy and I are living on my grandpa's farm in Suttons Bay. It is so beautiful. Kinda scary at night, since there are no lights from a city and the closest neighbors are a good distance away. Forthe normal person it would be a wonderful retreat, but for someone with an active imagination like myself, kinda scary.

I can't think of all I wanted to write. I guess will just have to post another blog when I remember. Enjoy the pictures of my sweet faced Lizzy.
