3 years and counting

this month drew and i celebrated our anniversary. i really can't believe how quickly the time has passed. 

so much has changed and life is so different now than it was when we met.

im a little fatter, drews hairs a lot balder, we no longer enjoy the california weather, we "get" to enjoy the utah snow, i gave birth, we have a beautiful baby daughter, drews working at snfc, instead of schooling at usc, i only do hair sometimes, we have a house, we can't go to the movies without getting a babysitter, both our cars are paid off, our baby has been to 16 states, i've become a much better seamstress, im on a much tighter budget, drew gets to ski a lot, im becoming a lake powell veteran, im no longer scared to be home alone when drew travels, drews second home is rainbow city Alabama

life is always changing. i welcome change. change is good

im glad i have one constant though. drew. he's an amazing husband, a wonderful dad, a great supporter, and my best friend

i couldn't ask for more

Happy Anniversary to us!!

this year we celebrated with an amazing dinner at our favorite place Forage then spent the night sans niya at the most amazing house in park city. 

it was heaven

nursery bites

after my work out at the gym this morning i went to pick up niya from the nursery. the teacher informed me that oliver had bit niya. "who's oliver, and why was he biting her?" i said

and then i saw this

yikes! so nursery gives her a fever like every other week, and now she's getting abused by oliver.

the price i pay to get in shape

so good

nothing makes me happier, than looking in my rear view mirror to see my daughter completely in love with her del taco bean and cheese burrito 

just like her mama

little girl in a little house

 when i was little, there was nothing cooler than a really good playhouse,tree house, or fort.

thats why me, and niya really want a playhouse.

until our wish is granted, the one at Grease Monkey, where we get our oil changed, will have to do

"oh hello, welcome to my playhouse"

 "did you see my beautiful flowers"

"ding dong"

"pull up a chair, stay a while"

little gym

for a few months niya and i attended a mommy and me class at the Little Gym.

it was a lot of fun. 

every week she'd "learn a new skill"

what a little gymnast! 

mostly we'd just run around and play on all the equipment

we'd also play with balls

 sing songs, blow bubbles, and just be funny, and have fun

as the weeks when on niya really did become a little more coordinated, and a little less afraid

since we're gone so much we decided not to sign up again. we were having to make up way too many classes and ended up losing about 4. bummer waste of money.

so little gym has been replaced by the germ infested nursery at the gym. yippee!!
