Run Forrest Run

Lili has started this funny thing where she unloads this green box & places it on her head. Then she walks around the house bumping into things. Its really quite funny! Here she is with Grandma Hunter making everyone laugh!
Two weekends ago Lili & I drove up to St. George for two reasons: 1.) Her 1yr Dr. appointment 2.) so I could attempt my running skills in the Snow Canyon 1/2 & 5k. . . . no I ran the 5k, I'm not that crazy yet! Lili checked out healthy at the Dr. weighing in at a whopping 18lbs! Yep, still a weenie! She is 5% in weight, 10% in height, & 70% in head circumference. (that has got to be thanks to her dad! My head just has massive amounts of hair!). She just needs some hair to cover her noggin!

Saturday me & my good friend Deborah ran the race. Lili had to join us in the jogger stroller, which ended up being quite entertaining. Basically she screamed the whole race. . who needs an ipod when you have a scream to run to?! No, it was motivation to finish the race fast & quick! Lili & I came in at 27:27, which isn't too bad, and I finished 4th place in my age group! I will take it for my 1st race! It was a good time, met some great people, got a sweet shirt, & awesome food at the finish line (the whole reason to do a race!). My goal is to slowly, but surly work my way up: 10k, 1/2 marathon. . . I'm not 100% sure about the full marathon. I'll get back to you on that one!

Adventures in IDaho & 2nd Anniversary

Ww had the opportunity to go to Idaho last weekend. While we were there, Lili got to experience her 1st ISU Homecoming Parade & ISU football game. We also had a birthday party with my family & friends back in Poky. It was great seeing everyone & Lili had fun with her friends!

Yummy cake

ISU Homecoming Parade. We walked away with a stroller full of candy!

The main reason we went to Idaho last weekend was for Taylor's little bro's wedding. It was a great weekend, non-stop fun, but it went by way to fast. The weather was beautiful, until we boarded the plan home. It then started to snow, thank goodness! I do not miss the oh so cold weather & snow. But we sure do miss our family!

Lili & Mama at the wedding

Two weeks ago was our 2nd Anniversary. We decided to go on a family lunch date to the Korean restaurant Maru. It was fantastic! Sushi, sitting outside on the patio & we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

This is what I gave Taylor: 2 posters & a book. He is a huge Yankee fan & I am part of the Red Sox Nation, so hence the poster of the two teams. I also think I'm a pretty cool wife for allowing a picture of Yankee Stadium in my house. . . .YUCK!

Yummy sushi!!!

Lilianna's Birthday Bash

We had Lili 1st Birthday Party & I'll be honest I probably went a little overboard! Yes I am a wannabe Betty Crocker/Martha Stewart. What the heck, she only turns 1 once, yeah?! Well, we had a great time & I would like to think that Lili did as well! So here are some pictures of herbirthday celebration.

New Chucks from aunt Tia! Awesome!

The invites

I made Lili a tutu & onsie to match. It is not the greatest sewing job, but I tried! I gave her a 1 bum & it sure was cute!

All-in-all is was a great Birthday Party! Thanks to everyone who came & for all the lovely gifts Lili received. It was fantastic!

Lilianna Leilani is 1

Today is Lili's 1st Birthday!! I cannot believe it! Happy Birthday to you Lili! She has brought so much joy & laughter into our lives. We are so blessed to have an entertaining, sassy, & beautiful little girl be a part of our family. Life would not be the same without her! We love you "littles!"

Lili's 1 yr Pics

Over the weekend, Lili got her 1 year pictures done. We went up to Red Rock Canyon, which is probably the prettiest place here in Las Vegas. It reminds me of the red mountains in St. George, that I oh so miss. We were scheduled to take her pictures saturday evening, at like 6. Well that is quite a drive from where we recently located and I had packed everything in advance, or so I thought! We well get up there & low & behold I had forgotten everything!! All lili had on was her leggings, her sweet kicks (pink chucks), & her onesie. I forgot her tutu, her purple dress, her hair things etc. Yeah awesome! Her purple dress was suppose to match me & Taylor. So the first set of pictures are funny because Lili is in her incomplete outfit. Thankfully, the photographer met up with Lili & I so we could get some "retakes." Well I love how the turned out, thus far. We are waiting to get all of em back, but here is a sneak peak! Love, love, love em!!!! This one we call our baby catalog model. . . strike a pose!

Suck a little smirk on her face!
