My hero!

I woke up early this morning (5:30am) with Lizzy, after I got her back to bed I went to the bathroom. Not that unusual. On my way down the hall I noticed a rather large black spot along the wall. Seeing that it was a spider, I ran very quickly past! After doing my business, I went back to bed and woke up Dave very gently and told him about the monster in the hall. Being the brave and dutiful man that he is, he immediately got out of bed and slayed the beast! (Then flushed him just to be safe.)

Dave is my hero!

Now, here are some more pictures of our sweet little bug!

More fun pictures!

Hello to all our family and friends who regularly view our blog! Not too much has happened since I last wrote. My cousin Karen got married. That was fun to go to! My mom came out for it, that was great! She got to play with Lizzy some more. I got a bit of a hair cut with bangs. Thanks Ashley! Dave got a another/new job. I painted the bathroom blue. It's really pretty! We finally got all of my kitchen stuff out of storage. That really made my day. OH YEAH!!! The Wings won the game last night! That tied up the series, 2-2. AH! I am so excited about the playoffs! GO WINGS!

Easter Day blessing

Easter was a wonderful day! My parents came out for Lizzy's baby blessing! It was so fun! So many people came, friends, family and others I am sure no one knew. Just messing. After, we all came back to the Hasting home and enjoyed delicious food and delightful chit chat. It was so nice.

The move back to Utah

WE ARE BACK! Yes, I know we have been back for a bit, but we finally have a computer that we are able to post pictures onto out blog and I wanted to wait for that. Here is how is all went down...

Steve, Carol, Carrie and Becca drove down from Utah on Weds. March 14th to attend Dave's graduation from Ft. Huachuca. The apartment was a mess! We were still packing and we needed to leave the next day! On a happier note, that was the first time Grandpa Steve, Aunt Carrie and Aunt Becca met Lizzy! It was so much fun! The next day we went to Dave's graduation in which he graduated with high honors! WOO HOO!! He is so frappin' smart! Afterward we went back to our apt. just to sign off with the office, andthen left on our big adventure back to Utah. The first day we drove to Flagstaff and the stopped for the night. Lizzy, by the way, was AMAZ-ZA-ZING! (Benchwarmers)She either slept or played with her aunts while the car was moving, When stopped she would eat, have a bum change and be happy on her way again! What a relief, can I even tell you...I was rather nervous about it at first.

The second day we drove through the Grand Canyon. I forgot how beautiful it is. We walked the paths for a while along the rim, took great pictures and enjoyed the general slendor of it all. While on our path we happend across a family of mountain goats! They were so calm, just walked around while we all took pictures. They would stand and pose as if the park had paid them to do so!

After leaving the park in the late afternoon, we drove the rest of the way to Provo. Oh yeah! We stopped at a Denny's just across the Utah state line and our waiter was drunk! HA!

All in all, a great trip!

I finally caught one!

I have been telling everyone how smiley Lizzy is, but I am sure that no one really believes me since she started smiling so young. I finally have proof! I finally got a picture of her huge smile before she noticed the camera. It seems as soon as the camera pops out, her smile quickly goes away. I guess she's just trying to figure out what that things is in her face.

Also, for those who don't know...Lizzy had to go the ER on Friday March 2ND because she had coughed up blood! I think that was the worst day of my life. Dave was away on his Field Training Exercise (FTX) and unable to have contact with the outside world. Thank goodness my friend Michelle and her husband Steve were here visiting, I don't think I would have been able to handle it on my own.

So, we went to the ER and one of Dave's friends was at the ER also because he had cut his hand while on the FTX. Cook recognized me and asked how I was doing (I think he noticed the red, teary, puffy eyes) I told him what was going on with Lizzy so that he would be able to get a message to Dave, which he did. (tender mercy? I think so.) Anyways, they ran loads and loads of tests. They even had to draw her blood from her little veins! It still kills me to think about it. All the tests came back negative, thankfully. Everything seems to be fine now, her usual doctor told me it was likely from broken capillaries she could have gotten from coughing or sneezing alot. ( I didn't notice her coughing or sneezing alot though.) She hasn't had any problems since.

On a happier note, Dave is graduating on Thursday the 15Th! WOO HOO! We are going to be heading back to Utah the same day, and taking a little detour through the Grand Canyon with his family. They will be coming down to see his graduation and help us move some of our stuff back. I can't even wait!

(To see the captions hold your mouse over the picture you want to read about.)

"How cute am I?"

Only 16 more days till we leave for Utah! We are so excited to see our family and friends again. WOO HOO! But we will miss our friends in AZ. See you soon!

Here are some recent pictures of the fam and some friends. Hope you like them!

Angel Face

UPDATE: Lizzy now weighs 9lb 4 oz and is 21 inches long! She is growing so fast!

Back to my angel face...

Everyone always posts their kids with big smiles having fun, I do too. But here is another side of Lizzy that is rarely seen even by her parents! She still looks so sweet! This was taken when she was so tired, I had a hard time calming her to get her to bed. (I missed the crucial sleepiness window.)

How cute is that? Oh, I just love her cute face! She really does smile most of the time. She's quite playful and happy. Here is a picture of her playing with daddy, look at that huge smile!
