Lucy's 1st Birthday!

Happy, Happy, (1st) Birthday Lucy Dear. Happy days will come to you all year. If I had one wish and it would be... a Happy, Happy, Birthday to YOU from ME! We would like to THANK everyone who has helped make Lucy's 1st year a success! But most of all, Lucy and I would like to thank Katy for being the best Mom and Wife. I couldn't have gotten a better wife, she is so talented! She always makes sure that Lucy and daddy have enough to eat. If we are sick, she does everything possible to make us feel better. She's a Keeper!



Lucy enjoyed her own cake that Katy made especially for her!






Lucy got her First Rose and balloon from Daddy!

"Out of the Loop, Here's the Scoop!"

It was a fun filled Saturday when Russ and Nancy(G&G Allred) invited us to go pick FRESH APPPLES!

After the long exhausting harvest of picking apples, we sat down to enjoy a real treat! We enjoyed some warm fresh apple crisp and then washed it down with some fresh apple cider.

Lucy and Mom enjoyed the apple crisp together!

Thank you Russ and Nancy for making it a fun trip! Oh, and thanks for helping us clean the office after the trip!

Some one help me!

Ever since Lucy was 2 months old she has slept through the night with an occasional waking at like 5:30 Id give her a bottle and she would go back to bed. All of a sudden the last two weeks she wakes up like every half hour and wont go back to bed shes not hungry shes not dirty. I give her Tylenol (just in case of teething) last night I gave her that gas stuff. Nothing works!!! She wants me to get up and play with her even though I'm half a sleep and so is she. She can barely keep her eyes open so I know shes tired. She barely eats! (well in comparison to how much she eat before). She just plays with her food! WHAT DO I DO!!??

Lucy is almost one!

Lucy had her one year doctors appointment on Tuesday. She is 28 and a half in. and weighs 22.13. She is in the 75% for height and the 80% for weight. So shes a little bigger than the average one year old but I'm sure she'll even out soon. She has crawling down to a science and she just started pulling her self up on things. She has only the beginnings of 2 teeth on the bottom. She still refuses to talk by clinching her mouth and grunting at me if she wants anything. We think that she could possibly be saying Sadie sometimes. But she refuses to do anything on command so its hard to tell if she is just babbling or if it is Sadie that she is saying. I wouldn't be surprised. We say Sadie all the time because she gets in trouble so much.
Lucy loves to climb into her big girl car seat and play around. I cant wait till she actually gets to use it in the car and gets to face the front she will love it!!


I was about to give Lucy a bath. I usually just carry her straight to the tub and put her in right away but I hadn't filled it up yet so I let her play on the ground in her room. I thought oh she wont go to the bathroom. But she did!!


I made a Cake for My friend Alison's little boy Patrick's first birthday.

Updated

I know I know!!! I need to blog more! I'm going to post pictures and tell you about them to get all caught up on the events. I got to baby sit Grant one of the days that his mommy was at girls camp. Lucy loved having him here. She especially loved taking his pacifier out of his mouth.

Sadie is getting bigger and getting her adult teeth. Thank goodness! Her baby teeth were so sharp.

They love each other! Sadie is so tolerant of Lucys hugging and petting(hitting).

We went to San Diego with Tyler's family. It was nice to get away from Bakersfield.


Lucy had her first bath with another baby. Me and Alison go walking every morning so Lucy and Patrick have become fast friends.

Camping!

We went camping for the Nichols family reunion this year. As long as I have a nice comfy place to sleep I love camping! We went out and bought a tent an air mattress,and borrowed the rest of the things we needed from my parents. We had a lot of fun at the beach and hanging out with all the family.

This is the air mattress we bought. If you ever need to buy an air mattress this is the one to buy! Every air mattress that Ive ever slept on ends up flat on the ground by the middle of the night. This one is amazing! It stays full of air for days and its nice to have something higher up in your tent.

Doesn't she look like a cabbage patch doll!


We gave Lucy a bath in a bucket with the help of all the little girls. Then Talia took a bath and pooped in the water.

The Future shirley temple!!

I was able to go see Elyse perform at her dance recital. She was sooooo adorable! I cant wait to see more of her dances!
