Thanksgiving 2010

We were at the Love's for Thanksgiving this year, and it was Marley's first Thanksgiving! We had great food, went sledding and just relaxed...

Mar loves Ellie, and I'm afraid grandma Kathy is going to try and give her to us...NO thank you!

I don't think Tate is ever going to be a big Thanksgiving dinner fan...he hates potatoes, hates turkey, won't eat rolls or any vegetables. What's left? Pie I guess.

Marley reading the ads with meI didn't get any pictures of them sledding that day, but the day before Jord took them out and pulled them around the yard (in the bitter cold), Marley loved it!

she's like a pink pillsbury dough boy

9 months in, 9 months out...

Marley has officially been out as long as she was in! I can't believe she's already been around for that long, it really has flown by. Sadly I admit, I have enjoyed her a whole lot more than I did Tate. I still love him more than life itself, it's just he was so...challenging. And still is; but that's it's own post.

Some things about my Marley-moo are she is so mellow and easy going. She definitely has her moments, but on the whole is pretty easy. She is my sweet little mama's girl. Her first word was "mama" because anytime she wants me and can't see me she'll sit and whine "mama mama" over and over until I come get her. She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up on everything she can to stand. She is the pickiest eater ever but will always eat chocolate! She is a VERY EARLY RISER, usually between 5:30-6:00 am, and is happy as could be to be awake. And she hasn't had her official 9 month appointment yet, but I had to take her in a few weeks ago and she was 15.4 pounds....my tiny girl!9 months ago today!

And 9 months before that! We found out we were pregnant the day Chace left for the MTC...it was definitely an emotional day all around!

Dear Daylight Savings,

I hate you so very much, why do you do this to me? I feel like you are trying to make me miserable, and it's working. This is what time Marley has woken up for the day these past few mornings, thanks to you.Please shoot me if this lasts much longer.

Love,
Ashley

Halloween

I've been very under the weather lately, so when Halloween came and went, I wasn't too sad about it. I LOVE Halloween, but this year I was ready for it to just be over with. We did manage to carve/paint our pumpkins and go to Grandma Kathy's for a party though. They were the only pictures I really even got of the kids in their costumes. I never did get one of Tate fully dressed in his outfit, oh well. It really didn't matter though because we didn't even trick-or-treat because Jord was too worried about watching the Utes game of the pouring rain.

Steve and Jord were the Lollipop munchkins from the Wizard of Oz
