Look who got her first pedicure!

Its rather difficult to paint her toes, so we just started with one foot for now...

Lyla has some ticklish little feet!

peace baby.

She's a growin'.. Just had her 4 month app and her grand total weight is a whoppin 13 lbs!... The doc thought she was a 'bit short'... so we may have a little one here..

We had rice cereal for the first time... She still isn't sure what to think.. Got to love the face..

Some quality daddy daughter time...

little miss..

Lyla is almost 4 months old.. It really kills me that she is so big! She loves to squeal, blow bubbles and she just learned to roll over..its the cutest dang thing..
She is totally obsessed with her toys.. She loves them...

We have been so very lucky to get hand me down clothes.. This is one cute outfit that Lyla is sporting.. She is getting so BIG!

back away...

So my sis Ash has been super super sick.. She is just a few months pregnant but has already been to the ER a few times.. its going to be a long next few months..Wish you luck sis... Anyhow, her little boy Brig is about the cutest little thing ever.. The other day I was up helping and little Brig wanted a cupcake.. sure... this was the aftermath.. Pretty messy.. He was so happy though..

He was just a laughing!

He even got baby Lyla laughing...

My two loves...

I just love the nakieness...

Is this not the funniest face ever...?...

6 more weeks..

So this past weekend the weather was beautiful.. We headed up Big Cottonwood and went hiking.. Baby Lyla loves to go hiking.. She just looks around with her big eyes, so excited. My little legs just aren't in shape yet so we only made it so far.. We had fun though, the way down was just a freezing brrr. I think we got excited about the nice weather and under dressed..

Enjoying the sunshine..

cool pict..

This is my princess jump.. We took about 5, Ty just couldn't catch my awesome jumping skills..

I have a passion...

Apparently I am a snob for Bisquick pancakes. I have known this for sometime now but this past Saturday Tyler let me know just what kind of snob I am.

It all started at home, my dad loves Bisquick pancakes, nothing else...no Krustis, no made from scratch, nothing else but good ol' Bisquick. (he likes them undercooked, me not so much) Soo, this passed onto me. I LOVE Bisquick pancakes.!! Really I do.

A few years ago I had a job mowing lawns, the job started at 6:30am but every morning I would wake up early enough to make sure my pancakes were hot and ready for the drive to work. I really ate pancakes every morning for at least a year. I just really really love pancakes, you can eat a few or a lot.. They are just so dang tasty.

Yes, I have tried to love restaurant cakes, they don't use Bisquick... Wanted to like Krusties... sick... who would just add water?.. No don't do it.. All those years at girls camp I suffered with gross cakes... Bisquick.. you add milk, yummy -creamy soft delicious milk... The recipe asks for milk and egg.. I dont add egg.. This is where I get picky. When I was mowing lawns and making cakes every morning, I wasn't eating eggs. Therefore I never put eggs in my cakes.. Why wasn't I eating eggs you ask? My bf was a vegan.. got me on the train... You know who you are.. TYLER! So This was the ultimate recipe for the most fluffy, sweet tasting cakes you will ever have, Bisquick with no eggs.

Okay so back to story. One of my fav things is to eat breakfast in bed. Especially since having Lyla. Sooo the sweet husband that I have woke up early on Sat morning, went to the store and bought some Bisquick. Made me pancakes brought them into bed.. Well I took one bite and bam.. Not good cakes.. Why? He added eggs.. Ruined the whole thing..He had gone back to the kitchen to get himself a plate then headed back to the room where he could tell something was wrong by the look I had on my face. I could taste the egg. Bisquick just is not the same with eggs. I am a snob.

THis led to a long, drawn out conversation about pancakes. Tylers side, by following the recipe you get a great, smooth pour, the batter is not too thick or too runny. Perfect cakes every time. Plus you get a bit of protein. My side, not as fluffy... YOU can TASTE the egg.. Nasty... Ty doesnt believe I could taste the egg, he claims I heard him crack the egg. C'mon... I have a habit of adding just the right amount of milk every time, makes em thick and fluffy.. Man I LOVE PancakeS! ...Whew this is long.. Sooooo... to cut this long post short...life will be easier if no one but myself makes me pancakes.. I am a pancake snob.

DON'T even get me started on syrup...

She talks... a LOT....

Just some cute ones...

I have some crazy obsession with her chubby thighs and feet.. so cute...

Lyla is 3 months old....

We headed down to St. George last weekend to hang out with Tys family. Nate and Chas came in with baby Jaxson. Little Lyla and Jax just love each other.

We followed Ty around while he climbed in Moes Valley.. we were his "groupies".. it was pretty funny. 4 women, 1 young chap (that's you Braden), 2 babies and one old man all sat and watched Ty do his thing..

Ty sending.... it was his birthday so it was all about Tyler day...

We celebrated Tys b-day, Laneys, Chas' and Bradens

The little lovers.. Jax is one month younger than Lyla and look how large he is! He is going to dominate....


Such a cute little guy

The fam chillen...

Since the weather has been so nasty we have been going up Millcreek canyon to get some fresh air. Little Lyla just loves it.. Here she is ready to go! The gloves and boots are over-sized but soooo adorable!

I woke Lyla up from her long nap, she totally passes out as we hike. This is the face she gave me.. .. ...

We cant forget little Maya, she still loves to rally in the snow.. its pretty much her favorite thing ever...

even numbers...

So as I am sitting here at Tys work (we don't have Internet at home..el'lamo I know)... we realized that we don't have any pictures from Christmas, new years, parties, ice skating.. nothin.. We have been hiking a bunch, hanging out with friends, family and mostly staring at our sweet little babe and we have no picture proof of any of it... so here is to our new year of documenting the cool things we do in life.. (that's pretty much everything)... we will take more pictures!

But really we have had a wonderful last couple of weeks, Ty had a bunch of time off, we spent lots of time with our families and friends. Having little Lyla in our lives has been so dang fun, I have always loved little babes but when their your own it just sooo different.. so much better than I could have even imagined. Being mom is awesome.. its fantastic actually... We have made the final decision to move to Missouri.. i know.. BIG change! Ty is super psyched to go to school and Im super psyched to chill poolside... life is good, we are healthy happy and soo in love......

Here are a few picts .. way random but cute...

Hiking up Millcreek...

The one and only pict of the tree, it was a beauty....

Little Lyla is almost 3 months! So wild how fast the time has gone.. She is pretty much the sweetest thing around... She LOVEs to smile and daddy and especially after she ya know, poops...

Lately Ty has been taking Lyla to bed when he goes and its about the cutest thing ever to walk in and see the two of them sleeping.. Don't you worry though, the last 4 nights are record nights for Lyla has slept in her own bed all night....!

Okay, so when we take Maya hiking she gets these nasty snow balls in her paws from her flowing long hair and its pretty painful really. So one night before a late hike with Ty we tried make shifting her some booties... It was down right hilarious! The socks obviously did not work so we had to buck up and pay the big bucks for some new booties... Pict soon to come... now she can totally rage it and no pain for out little lover Maya.

I guess thats the bad thing about camera phones, we never remember to take picts with our camera... so whateve....

why anthropology is so important
