February

Well I have been terrible this month at my posting, I just can't believe how fast it has gone by!!! My baby girl is six months, my hubby is 28, and they are just the cutest things in the whole world-so I decided to post some pictures of their big month!!! Ryann gets so tired, she actually falls asleep in her jumperoo all the time, and even mid-bite in her bumbo!!! She is such a big girl, she weighs 17 lbs, loves bananas, veggie baby food, to crawl and get into anything that shes not supposed to, puppies, other little kids, anything fuzzy or soft (especially hair!), power cords for some reason, and has to try everything that big people are eating!!! Also, on a gross note, everytime she goes poo poo, she makes this really shrill high pitched inhaling noise, seriously its creepy lol. We call her the exorcist whenever she has to go :D. she is so funny.  She is always jumping, in or out of her jumperoo, which makes eating a real chore, not to mention her recent fascination with bobbing her head up and down~! She also blows bubbles with her baby food, and makes a terrible mess, but it is so funny I can't care that I'm covered in peas! Her hair is getting so light I can't believe it, she is going to be a total little strawberry blonde! I love her chubby rolls, I never want them to go away!!! (If they could stick around til shes like 16 or so that would be great...Stay away boys!)  She is just so much fun, I love her so much it makes my heart hurt! I just want to squeeze her as hard as I can!!! (I definitely won't though ;)) Will and I have been keeping busy with Xango, we love it so much! We have gone on quite a few dates this month, and have developed a loving relationship with this amazing little italian restaurant called Le Nonne, and it is totally to die for!!! We also painted a wall in our living room tan, we love it! We are working on painting one in our bedroom gray, and one in Ryann's room a sorbet pink! I finished a quilt for Ryann's crib, and am working on the crib skirt-pictures to come! So, nothing too crazy has been going on around here, just lovin and livin life!!!

My little Ry Ry is officially six months old, and she is getting so big!!! She had her six month check up today, she weighs 17 lbs 4 oz, and is 26 inches long~ She also had to get four shots, and she screamed like nobodys business for a minute or two, but has been pretty good since.  She is such a little sweetheart, and has got so much personality already.  95% of the time she is all gummy smiles and giggles, and the other 5% she is very impatient! She has so much fun in her jumperoo, I can't get her to stop kicking her legs even after I take her out of it! She is hilarious in it! She also LOVES puppies!!! She thinks they are so funny, she laughs so much at them and it is the cutest thing in the world! She is into everything already, and has a certain attraction to cords...I know right-I am in big trouble.  She totally says Mama! Like all day everyday! She may not fully understand what she is saying, but it still makes me sooo happy! She has even said Dada a few times! You know, she is probably just making noise-but I am going to pretend that she is saying our names anyways! :D She loves to be at church, sacrament hymns are her very favorite! Even when she was in my belly she would go nuts kicking me when we would sing.  She gets a big old smile on her face and is just so excited.  She also has a thing for books, so you can imagine my frustration while I'm trying to hold the hymn book.  Surprisingly enough, she doesn't really taste the books so much as she does feel and look at them! She really is just fascinated by them, and everytime I open one up, she starts to jabber like she is reading haha!  Her favorite thing to eat is bananas, she seriously loves them~we freeze them on popsicle sticks for her and she gobbles them down! She doesn't so much love rice cereal, but we are going through oatmeal banana cereal like you can't believe! She likes to try and help feed herself, which usually ends up with a generous spoonful plopping onto her forehead.  She hates peas, Daddy tried to feed them to her the other day and she was gagging! She refused to eat them haha!  I have noticed that she is such a determined little thing.....She will stop at nothing to get her hands on what she wants, and if she doesn't want something, well lets just say you better get it out of her face asap! She has the funniest little laugh, and is seriously the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us.  She is our sunshine, which Will reminds her of every morning upon her awakening by singing "You Are My Sunshine" to her, and she loves it.  I cannot put into words how much we love her, it is indescribable.  I never knew my heart could ever get so full.  I have gained a true understanding of the unconditional love of my own parents, and am so very grateful for all they have done for me.  I have also realized how very blessed I am to have her, and how much it breaks my heart that some people will never have what I have. I am also so confused at what some people do with the great gift of parenthood, when so many others would give anything to have the chance to have a child in their life.  I do know that Heavenly Father has a certain plan for each of us, and we have to do the best with what we have been dealt, and will someday be rewarded for our efforts.  I know I am so blessed in so many ways....and I know that when I count my blessings, that little Miss Ryann Elise is one of the first things that come to my mind.

My Sweetheart's 28th!

My dear sweet Will is officially 28 years young today, so I am dedicating this post to his wonderful existence! I am so incredibly blessed to have him in my life, granted the road to him was a rocky one, but God definitely had His hand in our meeting, and sure knew what He was doing!!! I have never met a more spontaneous, caring, and patient person . He is the superman swirl of ice cream-Surprising and Bright, the chewy gobstopper of candy-Yummy on the outside, and even better on the inside! He is the reason I wake up every morning, and the reason I go to bed with a smile on my face. He makes up for every inch I lack, and puts me up on a pedestal I'm certain I am not worthy of.  I have won the lottery of life partners, and am so grateful for every moment God has given me with Will Brummond's presence in my life. Happy Birthday Baby, Celebrating your life only one day out of each year is an abomination, you are a gift to this world, and everyday should be dedicated to your Awesome-Ness~!!! ILoveU

Help!!!

So my baby girl is crawling... it is so funny to watch! she puts her right hand on top of her left hand, pulls forward with her hands, and pushes with the very tips of her toes to scoot along the floor! Do you know what this means??? This means my OCD about my floors is about to increase ten fold. Here at the BlackHawk Condos, we are blessed to have central vac, but I am not gonna lie, I don't love it. It is wonderful in the kitchen and bathrooms, but terrible on the carpets! As most of you with long hair like me know, shedding like a wookie is a daily thing. I Hate Hair that is not attached to my head! Ahhh! It's like a never-ending sea of disgusting, a cornucopia of Grossness, a Plethora of Nastiness!!! (yes I had to use the spell check on my analogies) (and a dictionary to make sure I knew what analogies were)! And for some reason, I am incapable of its total removal. So Will and I have decided that we need a vacuum. Terribly, and soon! With Ryann scooting all over the place, I cannot have 'fairly' clean floors. So far, the only one we have really looked into is the Dyson Ball, probably mostly just because it looks cool. HowEVER- this is not a beauty contest, this is a make my carpets glorious contest!!! So, if anyone has any recommendations, your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Mysterious Ways...

Will and I are so very blessed. These past few days have been tough because Will's job hasn't been going as well as he wanted, so he started looking for a new one. Logan is a really tough market for a job, and things weren't looking so promising. We had the worst day yesterday, and were both on the verge of mental breakdowns, it was awful! Then we wake up this morning, and Heavenly Father decided to send us a huge blessing! Will's old boss Dave actually texted Will asking him if he could come back to work because they are so busy. Wow. I love when our prayers are answered and it is so clear.

Mayo Clinic is studying Xango!!!

This is so exciting!!! The Mayo Clinic was on ABC the other day talking about their studies of Xango Juice and its anti-inflammatory properties called Xanthones!!! I know this may not sound very exciting, but I am way stoked about it!! Will and I have been a part of Xango for over a year now, and seriously LOVE it!!! It has totally changed my mom's life, and I will go to my grave singing it's praises!!! She could hardly walk last year because she had such bad arthritis in her hips and knee, and was taking almost 3, 000 mg of ibprofen everyday---3, 000!!! Since she started drinking Xango, she now takes NOTHING!!! I Love Xango, and will be forever grateful for what it has done for my Family!!!

Susie Homemaker...Kinda!

So whilst Will was away last weekend, I decided to ReVamp our living room, and I have been Hating my sofa pillows with a fiery Passion, so they of course, were the first thing on the list!!! So My mom and I went to the D.I. (Gotta Love it) and bought some pillows, and then headed to Joann's Fabric (Definitely Love it) and got the cutest upholstery fabric to recover them! I Whipped out the old Sewing machine, and these are the results!!!

Girls Weekend!

This weekend was entirely too much fun!!! Mom, Hallie, Kassidy, Ryann, anna, and I all had a small girls night on Friday night, just watched chick flicks and had MilKShaKes...and then Saturday night, Natalie and Veronica joined us for some Chicken Fettucine and Yummy Peach Drinks that my Mom has made since I was a kid! Sooo Good! Veronica is getting such a cute belly, I Love it! And You would think that now that we are neighbors we would get to see more of eachother, but we don't~so that is just something we need to work on V :)! So Then We watched more chick flicks and I worked on my new throw pillows for my sofa! I decided while Will was away I was going to redecorate & Rearrange my Living Room because it has been driving me CRAZY for weeks now! And it now looks SO cute, I Love it!! My mom is just as OCD as I am,  So we made it look absolutely Perfect! She is so amazing, I love having her around, I hate that she lives so blasted far away! Today we went to Church, then everyone had to hit the road :( Ryann and I took a much needed nap on the sofa, she is such a cuddle bug I Love taking naps with her.  When we wake up she is so smiley and wants to touch my face, I adore her!!! She is so happy all the time, and I am so lucky to have her! Now we are going to have a quick dinner and then clean up the rest of the house for when Daddy comes home!!! This weekend = AMAZING
