I made this blanket for our new baby Ella Kate Lamb who will be joining us in the next month, HOOORAY!!!

Funny Pictures of Makenzie

2012-02-02T14:56:00.001-08:00

I found Makenzie in this big duffle bag one morning reading a book it was really funny and cute.

I put Kenzie to bed and could hear her talking for a while. Later when I went and checked on her she was asleep with this book under her arm so I had to take a picture.

She was so tired that she couldn't even wait until the Macaroni and Cheese was done. She fell asleep as I was mixing in the milk and cheese and would not wake up to eat it.

Kenzie Photo Shoot

2012-02-02T14:47:00.000-08:00

I decided to take some pictures of Makenzie for fun the other afternoon. (Well fun for me at least...) I wanted to use this sweet photo editing website before it shut down cause it has some pretty cool features.

Ward Christmas Party

2011-12-14T12:34:00.001-08:00

She actually asked me to take a picture of her in front of the pinata.

Smirky smile

Instead of Santa they had the three wise men, Kenzie would not smile for anything.

Our only family picture from the whole year I think. Man I am failing as the family photographer :)

Before the party...
The head band didn't last long as you can see in the other pictures.

Kenzie and her friend at the Christmas Party

This is my mad face!

Here are some pictures from our ward Christmas party. It was very fun and we had delicious mexican food for dinner.

Annual City of Surprise Party

2011-12-14T11:55:00.000-08:00

The first weekend in December is the Annual City of Surprise party. We saw the hot airballoon and tree lighting on Friday night. On Saturday Makenzie got to ride on an elephant, a camel, a pony and a train. She also got to pet lots of animals. It was overcast and really cold that day so we all had to bundle up on the jackets.

Elephant Ride

How many people can you fit on one elephant? . . . 6 . . . barely!

This turtle was just walking around in the grass so we deciede to get a picture with him.

Me: "Touch the snake Kenzie"
Kenzie: . . . No comment . . .

She alomst touched it until it turned its head and started slithering toward her then she freaked out. I guess I don't blame her.

Kenzie and the huge turtle or tortoise don't know the difference.

Yikes!

Big colorful Birds

I just love this attempt at a smile

Baby Kangaroo

Look mom Birds!

Wooo Hooo Train Ride First big smile of the day!

Pony Ride great smile . . . don't look too happy

Last year they let us walk next to the kids as they were riding the ponies. This year they didn't but Kenzie didn't seem to mind.

There was a bubble machine that blew out thousonds of bubbles so the kids had fun chasing and popping bubbles.

Nice Chicken

The petting zoo

She really was having fun on the camel ride . . . she just would NOT smile

There's that smile

Waiting in line to ride the camel

Cousins and Uncle Dallin

Kenzie and Grandma Clark watching fireworks

Kenzie and I in front of the huge Christmas Tree

I told her it was a baby snake so then she was fine holding it and it looked like a baby compared to the other snakes she saw.

DIY Snow Flake Tutorial

2011-11-19T15:40:00.001-08:00

Every Christmas my family likes to make these snowflakes to decorate with. They are fun and east to make. This is just a plain white one. We do all different colors and use glitter sometimes too. Using a Christmas scrapbook paper would be fun too!

Supplies:

1. 6 Square papers (card stock works the best. I took an 8 1/2 by 11 inch card stock paper and cut it into a square.)
2. Scissors

3. Stapler

4. Clear Tape

Here are the 6 square papers (they need to be all the same size).

Fold the square papers in half so it forms a triange like above. Then fold them in half again to make a smaller triangle.

Cut 3 slits that in the folded triangle leaving about 1/4 inch from the edge of the paper. The slits should be parallel to the LONGEST side of the triangle. Try to make each slit the same width apart.

Open the paper and this is what it should look like . . . if not you did something wrong :)

Starting with the inside of the square, pull the 2 smalles corners together till they overlap a little and tape them ... like shown.

Flip the paper over and tape the next corners together on the opposite side.

Continue alternating sides for the last 2 corners so it looks like the next picture.

(Sorry its kind of hard to describe in words)

Do all 6 papers this way.

Staple 2 of the snowfalke points together. ***On each snowflake point one side is bigger than the other. So staple the BIG side of one to the SMALL side of the other.

Add one more so you have three. (Notice how the big sides are stapled to the small sides)

Staple the 3 points together.

Now do the same thing to the last 3 points ..... Getting close to being done!

Lastly, Staple the 2 pieces together.

1st in the middle of the snowflake and then the 2 sides so it looks like this! Your Done!

I put the snowflake next to an 8 1/2 by 11 in paper to show the size of the snowflake.

Halloween 2011

What are you up to?

The little mermaid

This is the little pink bear Aunt Brittney got and gave to Makenzie. She named it "Daddy" . . . compliments of Uncle Nick.

This cute puppy was at the community Halloween party and they both looked at each other at the same time :)

I curled her hair!

This is my mad face!

This is my silly face

My Blue Eyed Girl!

Pretty little princess

She loves chili ... apparently

Lots of princesses

After she finished her chili and corn bread she made her way around the table to help out anyone in need of cleaning off their plates.

Dora's Halloween

Popcorn glove

Well it's the night before Halloween and we have already been to 2 ward Halloween parties and a community Halloween party. Makenzie is getting some good use out of her costume. She is Ariel A.K.A The Little Mermaid this year even though she doesn't even know who that is and refused to watch the movie when given a chance. I put make up on her for the community party and for both ward parties decided to use face paint instead. The face paint stayed a lot better although it was a lot more work. I thought it was pretty cute, Brett hated the make up but said the face paint looked a little better... :)

Emily Sarah and Kenzie at the Park

2011-10-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

Love this Pic of Sarah!

Watching Diego

I told them show me your sad face but Emily just couldn't quite get hers to look sad.

I wanted to test out my new camera so I took the girls to the park one morning while I was babysitting and took a bunch of pictures. They came out so cute!

Lamb Grandkids Swimming

2011-10-28T12:14:00.000-07:00

I just could resist taking this picture

We had all 5 of grandkids at our house one day and we decided to go swimming in our "pool" a.k.a sandbox. We tried to get all of the kids to look at the same time but that did not work out so well.

Stephanie and Rachel's Birthday Party at Jamba Park

2011-10-28T12:10:00.000-07:00

Stephanie and Rachel celebrated thier birthdays together at this fun indoor amusment park. My camera stopped working though after the first 15 minutes so I don't have very many picture. Makenzie didn't get a very long nap and so she refused to smile for any of the pictures I took. She did have a lot of fun though.

Canning Pears

2011-10-28T11:54:00.000-07:00

So my mom, sister Natalie, Brett and I all bottled some pears a few weeks ago. It was a lot of work but was worth it cause they are really good. The only problem is they are now almost gone.

2011 Clark Family Reunion

2011-08-09T15:57:00.000-07:00

Everyone was roasting giant marshmellows and Makenzie wanted some too so she came up to me and said "I want Ice Cream!" So Aunt Brittney gave her some Ice Cream on a stick!

I think she wore this shirt every day and screamed if we tried to put something else on her.

Kenzie's Favorite person

Lovin' the tent

Cold water!

I'm a Shark!

Going tubing with mom and uncle Nathan

Lobster Riding!

For my families Clark Family Reunion this year we went camping at Flaming Gorge Wyoming/Utah. There is a huge lake up there and that is where we spent much of our time. We had lots of fun on the boat and wave runners, even though the water was really cold. Kenzie loved every second of being outside and being with Grandpa and aunt Brittney. She would hardly even look at me and cried if I ever had to take her away from my dad.

Sleeping in Weird Places

2011-08-09T14:57:00.000-07:00

Makenzie has figured out how to get out of her crib and won't stay in her bed. Today when I went to check on her this is where I found her. I though it was pretty funny and had to take a picture.

2011-05-02T14:22:00.001-07:00

Another Phone Pic that I thought was adorable.

Easter 2011

2011-05-02T13:33:00.001-07:00

It looks like she's pooping!

They would not smile or even look at me for a picture.

What's with the tounge? She has gotten into this habbit of sticking her tounge out the side of her mouth. Now she has a little rash on both sides of her mouth from it.

She went straight for the candy.

This Easter was Makenzie's first Easter that she could do an Easter egg hunt. She had a lot of fun finding eggs and candy in the grass at the Eggstraveganza. She kept saying I want candy I want candy. She didn't care as much about the eggs.

I am making a picnic quilt for our family so that we can have something to sit on when we go to the park. It has taken a while just to get this far. That is only the top half of the quilt. I am going to put some blue plaid on the back. I would have done something cuter like pink but i wanted Brett to sit on it too. :)

Lunch at the Deli

2010-09-24T18:08:00.000-07:00

Brett and I decided to go out to lunch and wanted to go somewhere different so we went to Archie's Deli. After we ordered our food they brought us out some pickles to snack on, so I gave one to Kenzie because she eats everything. She took a bite and made a funny face like it was sour. She kept sticking out her tounge and squinting her nose. I was surprised to see that she didn't like something but then she kept taking more bites and making more funny faces. So she didn't like it but kept eating it, for a little while. Then she started throwing her food on the floor and that was the end of the pickles.

Ward Camp Out

Now how do you get that brown juice out of this thing?

Dirty Shoes

I was trying to get a close up picture of Kenzie's dirty face and she touched the lens right whhen I took the picture.

Dirty Face Girl

Taking a rest on the chair....(30 seconds later) okay that was long enough

She squats when she goes #2 :)

Picking Flowers

Loving the tent!

That darn shoulder strap would not stay on her
shoulder! Almost every picture of her in the overalls the strap is off her shoulder.

This past Friday and Saturday we had our ward camp out and it was Makenzie's first time going camping. She loved it and if there was a contest to see who was the dirtiest child there she definitely would have won. There was a lot of loose dirt and Kenzie falls down a lot and so her hands and face and clothes were covered in dirt. It was pretty nice weather the evenings were perfect. I was freezing at night though cause I gave most of the blankets to Kenzie cause I didn't want her to be cold. She slept pretty well considereing how cold it was.

Makenzie at the Lake

2010-09-06T16:53:00.001-07:00

These are some pictures that I took with my phone while we were at the lake waiting for someone to come and save us. Makenzie's favorite snack while we were there was rocks. She couldn't get enough of them. I tried to stop her but i think she ate at least one if not more. She also kept trying to drink the lake water. EWWW!!!!

Trip to the Lake

2010-09-06T16:11:00.001-07:00

Last Thursday Brett Kenzie and I, and Brett's Sister Stephanie her husband Matt and there little girl Payton all went to Lake Pleasant to take out my parents jet ski's. We had a great time and there was hardly anyone else out there. It was great. We got out to the lake around noon (I think). The guys drove both vehicles down to the place where we were camping out for the day because the lake was so low and we had a lot of stuff to carry. About 4:00 we decided that we were tired and were ready to head home. The babies were both asleep in Matt's truck so the guys were going to drive the trucks around to the dock and Stephanie and I were taking the jet ski's to get loaded up. Stephanie and got to the dock and waited for the guys for about 10 minutes and when they never showed up we decided to go back to see what was going on. When we got back this is what we saw.

Matt's truck in the mud

After a few questions like What the heck? How? and Why? Matt explained that he was trying to be a good father and uncle and was trying to take find the smoothest route since the kids heads were bouncing back and forth. After a while of trying to free the truck with no luck Brett decided to call his cousin Travis to come and bail us out. So we waited and I took advantage of the situation and took some pictures with my phone. Roughly 2 hours later Travis arrived to save us. Well that did not exactly happen as we had all planned.
Travis drove right into a mud pile and we all thought he would be able to get out really easily but unfortunately he was really stuck and could not get his truck out. Every time he pushed on the gas and the tires spun it just made the truck deeper and deeper in the mud. The guys tried for around 45 minutes with no success. So Travis called his friend to come save all of us. 30 to 40 minutes after the call Blake arrived to save us and luckily didn't have any trouble getting Travis out of the mud. Then Travis drove around and got Matt's truck out of the mud. By this time it was 8:30pm and we were all extremely exhausted and were ready to go to bed. It was a very eventful afternoon. :)

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

2010-08-28T17:02:00.000-07:00

Makenzie loves to play on her cousin Stephanie's little bike and train, but she is a little dare devil. She like to stand up on the seat and let go with her hand. So far she hasn't fallen yet but doubt that will last much longer. She is going to have to learn the hard way because she won't listen when I tell her to sit down. We also recently got a new bike trailer for Makenzie and she loves it. Best part it was only $25 on clearance. We have taken it out a few time and Kenzie just sits there totally quiet and stares.

New Swimming Suit and Pig Tails

2010-08-28T11:14:00.001-07:00

Splashing around!

Getting tired after lots of splashing and swimming around.

Big Blue Eyes!!

I thought it would be fun to try pig tails on Kenzie and I thought they looked so cute so I had to take some pictures. My Mom found this cute swimming suit for Kenzie for a great deal and she really needed a new swimming suit becuase she has been using a hand-me-down one.

Kenzie's 1st Birthday!

2010-08-28T10:59:00.000-07:00

"I'm One"

Yummy!

Chowin' Down

Goofy smile!
We all sang Happy Birthday to her and she just sat
and stared at us wondering what was going on.

Mesmorized by the flame

Enjoying her own piece of cake.

This is after she ate the cake. :)

On Makenzie's Brithday I went over to my mom and dad's for a little while before they left to go to Wyoming. My mom bought a piece of carrot cake for her to eat. She enjoyed it quite a bit. At first she just poked her finger in it and tasted the frosting but after she tasted it she was eating it by the hand fulls. (and no we did not give her that entire piece)

2010-06-29T16:30:00.000-07:00

These are some videos I took of Makenzie a while ago but never took the time to post them so they aren't recent but I still want to put them on here.

Just For Fun

2010-06-27T18:27:00.001-07:00

My sister pullled out the camera and started taking pictures and this is what we got. Kenzie loves to try to play the piano and really wishes that she could see the keys. She tries to lift herself up. She pretty strong for such a little girl.

Finally Updated

2010-06-19T14:43:00.000-07:00

Well I finally sat down and took the time to update my blog so here it is. Kenzie loves the water and swimming. She has so much fun splashing and being outside. She also recently got her first ponytail in her hair that stands strait up but I think its really cute. She is now almost 10 months and can take up to 12 steps in a row! One of her new favorite things to do is clap. She is pretty brave and will just stand up in the middle of the floor and take a few steps and then fall down and try it again. She is growing so fast I can't believe it.

7 Months Old Already!

2010-03-29T10:40:00.000-07:00

Makenzie is already 7 months old. Its crazy how time flies. For some reason the blog website is not working and won't let me upload more photos right now so more pictures will be coming soon...

Blowing Raspberries

2010-03-29T10:20:00.001-07:00

Recently Kenzie has started blowing raspberries and spitting. Its pretty funny, execpt when she does it while I am feedng her and she spits her food all over me.

Kenzie Trying to Crawl

2010-03-28T20:26:00.000-07:00

So Makenzie is starting to scoot and army crawl a little and its so adorable, so we just had to get it on video.

Kenzie 5 Month Old Pictures

2010-02-16T13:06:00.000-08:00

Kenzie is 5 and a half months old now! I can't believe how fast time is going by. So my good friend Emily took some more pics of Kenzie the a few weeks ago and they turned out so cute! I might be a little biased but i have the cutest baby ever! She is just learning to sit up and is doing pretty good at it. She also plays with toys a little and its so adorable. She has also discovered her voice and has a very high squeal that she blurts out when she is happy or wants attention.

The Waterfall

2010-01-22T13:00:00.000-08:00

Brett Kenzie and I all went for a hike today to the White Tank Mountains. It is a really easy hike if you can even call it hiking. The path is paved for most of the way. Brett carried Makenzie in on of those baby back packs and enjoyed most of the hike. It was pretty cold so we bundled her up as you can see in the pictures. Anyway it was still really fun and we got to see the waterfall. That was awesome! It is probably the only place in the valley that has a real waterfall. (I don't know for sure though) It only has a waterfall after there has been a lot of rain and everyone in AZ knows that we just got a TON of rain the past few day so there was plenty of water to see. In order to see the actual waterfall though we had to take our shoes and socks off and walk thought the freezing cold water, but it was worth it. I totally recommend anyone in AZ to go see it soon cause its awesome and you can take little kids cause the hike is not difficult although getting all the way to the waterfall might be. There is also a playgroud near the parking lot for little kids as well. The hike is 2 mile to the waterfall and back, and its totally worth it so every one should go before the waterfall disapears :)

Kenzie's First Trip to Utah!

2009-11-30T17:57:00.000-08:00

At the beginnning of November Brett Kenzie and my family and I went to Cedar City Utah to visit my sister Brittney and watch her play volleyball. She did great and they won their game! While we were up there we went to the near by mountains and there was a little bit of snow up there. We went to a park that had a ramada and a fire pit. We built a fire and roasted marsh mellows. It was fun and really cold. I got to use the blanket that I made for Kenzie. I was excited about that. I don't know if I will ever get to use it again if it doesn't start getting colder down here in Arizona.

Family Pictures

2009-11-30T17:41:00.000-08:00

Sincemy sister Brittney was in town for Thanksgiving we decided to go to the park and take a few pics with our cameras. I found this pretty waterfall and thought it was a great spot for pics. We probably looked kind nerdy cause we just used the timer on the camera so we would push the button and then run and pose with the rest of the family. It worked out pretty well, the olny problem was there was duck poop all over the grass and it smell really bad!

Rice Cereal

So we decided to see if Makenzie would like rice cereal last week. Turns out she loves it! I was kind of afraid that she wouldn't be able to get the hang of cause she is a little young but nope she is a natural. No doubt she got that trait from her father :) She kept putting her hands in her mouth and sucking the cereal off of them, then she would smear the cereal all over her face it was pretty funny.

Doing The Laundry

2009-11-30T17:30:00.000-08:00

I let the laundry stack up all week long until I had a huge pile but Kenzie helped me fold it!

Halloween Decorations

2009-10-22T18:12:00.000-07:00

Last year around Halloween time I drew some pictures of cute Halloween creatures and this year I decided to paint them on wood. It was a lot harder than I had thought but I had fun doing it. Just in case you can't tell the first one is Frankinstein secnd is a ghost and the last is a mummy.

Blessing Dress

2009-10-22T17:42:00.000-07:00

On October 11 Brett blessed Kenzie in church. It was very nice execpt that she screamed histerically throughout the entire thing! Once the prayer was over though she was okay. But she looked so cute regardless so I finally got some pictures of her and wanted to post them. She didn't especially like the dress though, it is not the most comfortable thing but she stayed calm for about 5 or 10 minutes while I forced her to be my baby model. :)

Family Picture

2009-09-21T19:26:00.000-07:00

This past week Brett and I both got our hair cut and on Saturday I made him and Kenzie pose for some family pictures. I also took some of just Kenzie for fun. I just love taking pictures of her!

Two Weeks Old Already!

2009-09-12T20:09:00.000-07:00

Makenzie was two weeks old this past Wednesday so I decided to take some pictures of her.

Cousins!!!

2009-09-05T14:29:00.001-07:00

Rachel was born September 4th at 12:15am. She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Makenzie and Rachel are 9 days apart. They look pretty similiar Makenzie is the one in green and Rachel is in white.

Makenzie's First Bath

2009-09-01T18:54:00.000-07:00

The day after we got home my mom helped me give Makenzie her first bath. She liked it for the most part until we took her out of the warm water. Then She let us know whe was not happy with us.

Labor and Delivery

2009-09-01T18:26:00.000-07:00

Makenzie came 9 days early. I was supposed to get induced on the 27th ofAugust but Kenzie decided she didn't want to wait one more day. On Wednesday August 26 Brett and I went to the hospital at around 3:30 in the morning because I was having pretty painful contractions. The nurse checked me and I was dialated to a 5 and 90% effaced so they told me I could stay. The first thing a asked for was the epidural. I had to wait for a while to get it because they had to send a blood sample down to a lab and I had to wait for 45 min. until the results came back. Meanwhile they gave me some kind of medicine that made me really drowzy and dulled the pain a little. I didn't get the epidural until around 6:30am. I was so scared to get the epidural but it turned out not to be as bad as I had thought. After that everything was smooth sailing. At 8:11am the doctor came in and broke my water. Then he had to leave and deliver another baby that was a c-section. By 9:30am I was dialated to a 10 and 100% effeaced but the doctor was still in surgery so I had to wait for an hour for him to finish. I was sort of freaking out because I thought that I was going to have the baby without him. The nurse kept saying it was fine and that it lets the baby get lower, but I was still worried. Finally the doctor came in to deliver Makenzie. I pushed through 4 contractions or about 15 to 20 minutes and she came out. She was kind of blue at first but after about a minute she was normal color. She came out yelling and screaming. She has some good lungs, thats for sure. The whole thing was an amazing experience and I am so grateful that she is here with us happy and healthy. Emily came as soon as the baby arrived and took some awesome pictures for me thanks a TON Emily!

Baby Makenzie has Arrived!!!

2009-09-01T18:11:00.000-07:00

Makenzie was born at 10:54am on Wednesday, August 26th. She weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 20 and a half inches long. She is beautiful and healthy and we couldn't be happier! The nurse who cleaned her up gave her a mohawk it was funny but really cute.

Family Vacation

2009-08-05T13:36:00.000-07:00

My family went to Utah this past week and we really enjoyed the cool weather there. My cousin got married in the Salt Lake Temple on Friday and this past Monday, which was also Brett's Birthday, we had a family reunion. We went to a lake called Willard Bay. We got to go on a boat and Brett wake boarded for the second time. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that because I didn't take my camera on the boat but he did really well and got up really easily. We had lots of fun.

San Diego Trip

2009-06-16T10:38:00.000-07:00

This Past weekend my family decided to go to San Diego for a few days. It was sort of last minute but we had a blast. We drove up on Friday morning and got to our hotel. We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel, it was really nice. There were courtyards that had lots of green plants and little ponds with waterfalls. The perfect place to take lots of pictures which we did. Well we got to San Diego around 1:00 in the afternoon, droped off our stuff in the hotel room and left to go to the San Diego Zoo. The zoo was lots of fun and we got to see all sorts of animals. We were kind of in a hurry though because the zoo closed at 6:00 and there were a lot of things we wanted to see. While we were there we rode on the Skyfari Sky Ride that takes you across the park. It was so scary! Well I thought it was cause I am afraid of heights but Brett thought it was pretty neat. That night we sat in the hot tub (except for me, I just put my feet in) but it felt really good cause my feet were killing me by the end of the day. The next morning we went to the beach for a couple of hours before going to Sea World. We spent the majority of the day at Sea World and had tons of fun. We went on the River Rapids ride and all got soaked and were wet for the rest of the afternoon. The weather was nice until the sun started going down and we were all still damp. We all brought an extra set of clothes though and changed in the evening. We stayed at the park until about 10:00pm. Needless to say I wasn't the only one with sore feet. It was a long day but it was worth it. Sunday we found a LDS Ward to go to then we went back to the hotel to take pictures. After that we took some more pictures at the San Diego Temple. Then we headed home. Overall it was a great weekend!

Baby Room Decorations

2009-05-16T17:29:00.000-07:00

Since I have a Bassinet that has cute rainforest animals on it I decided that would be a great theme for the baby room. So, I looked up all the different fisher price characters and am in the process of drawing them onto big posterboard paper. These are some of the ones I finished and are currently working on. Somehow (I haven't figured out exactly how yet) I am going to hang all the pictures in the room for decorations. I have four more days left of work and then I will really get to work on the baby room. I can't wait to decorate and organize everything. Hopefully it turns out as good as I am imagining, but we'll see.

Baby Stuff

2009-05-16T17:08:00.000-07:00

Well I am now 24 months along and feeling great! I just recieved a bunch of baby stuff from my Aunt Kristi who lives in Wyoming. She was nice enough to give me several things that I will be needing in the next few years, so I thought I would show them off! My mom also got me several things, a bassinet and really cute cribset included. I have pictures of everything at the bottom so scroll down!

Happy Easter!

2009-04-12T20:42:00.000-07:00

On Saturday before Easter my family came over and we were going to go to the Surprise Eggstraveganza, but do to the poring rain it got canceled and we were all very sad. So instead we had our own egg dying and egg hunting party. It turned out tobe pretty fun. We dyed 3 dozen eggs and had over 4 dozen plastic eggs that we hid at a little park near our house. Dallin and Stephanie found the eggs and had lots of fun. Then after that we played a few rounds of Bocce Ball out in the grassy area by the plaground. It started to rain again so we went back to our house and the family played games while my mom and I went shopping for maternity clothes. After trying on several things I finally found some capris that will hopefully last me the rest of my pregnancy. I also got a new swimming suit that is not maternity but it should fit me for a while. Anyway, today for easter we got together with the family for dinner and then went to a park to feed ducks and take pictures. It is really hard to get an 18 month old and a four year old to smile at the same as the rest of the family, but we did the best we could with the self timer on the camera. You can check out the picture down futher on the page. Overall, we had a fun and busy weekend.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

2009-04-09T17:47:00.000-07:00

On Monday Brett and I got to go and get an ultrasound to see how the baby was doing and to find out the sex of the baby. Obviously it is a girl which means I didn't make the blanket for nothing after all. We are both so excited that we are having a girl. The name we have chosen is Makenzie Michelle Lamb. I am now 19 weeks along and now have a small baby bump that I like to show off. I have felt the baby move several times now, but Brett has not been able to feel it yet. This part of pregnancy is not to bad. I feel good and am not too uncomfortable yet although I don't fit into some of my pants anymore. I tried to squeeze into some this morning but decided it wasn't worth being uncomfortable all day long. Instead I wear gaucho pants of capris. They are the most comfortable kind of clothes you can wear (pregnant or not).

My Baby Blanket

2009-03-23T17:26:00.000-07:00

So, about a year and a half ago I started making a baby blanket. It was originally going to be for my niece but it did not get finished in time. Now that I am pregnant I decided to finish it for my own little baby. A couple of weeks ago I had spring break and my mom and I (mostly my mom)finished the blanket. The only problem is that it is very pink and girly and I won't find out what I am having for a few more weeks. I am crossing my fingers that I have a girl so that I can use the blanket since it took so long to make. (The blanket is called a faux chenille blanket)

Valentine's Dance

2009-02-21T20:18:00.000-08:00

Our ward held a Valentine's Dance and we went and it turned out to be really fun. I didn't think I would be able to get up and dance cause I haven't been feeling the greatest, but today I had been feeling pretty well and ended up being able to dance and have a great time. Brett was happy because they had dinner at the beginnning. Well I was happy about that too actually. Anyway, we had lasagna salad and bread sticks for dinner and it was delicious. Overall we had a fun night and we took some pictures to show it.

About Us

2009-02-15T13:47:00.001-08:00

Well we are new to this blogging thing but thought it wouldbe fun to try out if we can figure out how to work it all. Anyway Brett and I have been married for a year and a half now and are now expecting our first little one. We are both very excited and nervous. For me (Hailie) though I just can't wait to get over this whole morning sickness thing. It really puts a damper on the whole pregnancy thing. Hopefully I won't have it too much longer though. I am 11 weeks along now and I have been working as well. I work at an elementary school and am a 1 on 1 aid with a little boy. Brett is working for his dad and cousin doing remodeling and stuff... It changes a lot and I can't really keep up. This weekend he and my brother-in-law planted some trees, a hibiscus plant, and a rasberry bush in our backyard. They look really good and we are both pretty excited about them. The rasberry bush was my Valentine's gift from brett and he also built a box that he planted it in. Right now it just looks like a stick in the dirt, it's kind of funny. But I thought it was really sweet. Anyway, that is about all that is going on in our lives at the moment so, the end.
