A Fun Time!

Alright guys I took lots of pictures this past week so I want you to sit down and make yourself comfortable before you get started because I added most of the pictures that I took.
This week we gave Lulu Rice Cereal for the first time and she did a pretty good. I was expecting it to be a lot more messy then it was. She ate a few bites and then must have gotten full or just tired of figuring out how to eat the cereal.

Here is a picture of her getting ready for a bite, thinking OK I can do this!

Then she is having second thoughts about it, but eats it anyways!

She gets it and decides that's not what she wanted after all!

Over all we had a good experience with eating her rice cereal!
Cody is reading Lulu a story and she did a good job laying there listening to the story.


The three of us took a mini trip to the beach for a couple of days just to hang out. When we first got there we went straight to the beach and it was nice weather it wasn't to cold and it wasn't very windy at all. This was Lulu's first time to the beach and I think she really liked it. We stayed one night at Lincoln beach and we stayed in a hotel right on the beach, we slept with our window open so that we could here the waves all night long it was so perfect. The weather was great our first day there so we were able to take a nice walk on the beach.



Our first night there for dinner we went to Mo's and it was so yummy.

In the morning we had breakfast at the hotel and we had a great view of the beach!


After breakfast it was nice outside so we went for another walk on the beach Lulu was all bundled up on Cody and she loved our walks on the beach.


A family picture!





After our walk on the beach we headed out to go shopping and then we headed to Newport beach where we stayed our second night. We ate lots of yummy food, went to the beach, saw lots of boats.
Cody is giving Lulu a bath, she loves taking baths.


Lulu after her bath chilling with her daddy!

Lulu turned 21 weeks old this week and she is such a happy baby!


We thought we would take a picture of Lulu on her stomach since she loves to roll over now, she is one rolling machine these days!


On Saturday my nephew Jaron was baptized and he looked so sharp in his whites and in his suit, he was so excited the whole day he had the biggest smile on his face! I'm so proud of him! Here he is with his mom and dad!


Cody and I with the boy of the day!

Jaron and Lulu on his big day! Look how happy they both look!

Cody, me, and Lulu stayed with the Kenners for the night and we had a fun time. Here are Karlee, Kelsie, and Lulu before church. All of the Kenner Kids love Lulu so much!


Lulu with her Daddy before church!

Waiting to go to church, look at Lulu how she is smiling she is getting good at this whole smiling for pictures!


This week was a lot of fun I can't believe that it is over, it went by so fast too fast. Cody leaves any day now to head to India while Lulu and I stay behind, every time I think of Cody leaving it makes me sad, so I have been dreading the day that Cody leaves! Me and Lulu are going to go over to India at the end of February for a month although India sounds kind of scary and not really the place that I would like to go, I'm trying to have a open mind about it and look at it as an adventure. I'm excited to see and learn why Cody loves it so much over there and who knows maybe I will love it as much as he does, I will never know until I go over there and give it a shot. I don't know if this next month can go by fast enough I just can't wait for us to be together. What makes me the saddest is for Cody and Lulu being away from each other, Lulu grows so much everyday and I don't want Cody to miss a second of her growing and changing. I have a hard time with Lulu growing up and I'm with her every second of everyday. Cody is the best dad ever and he takes such good care of Lulu, he has so much love for her he always wants to be right there doing everything for her and with her. When I look at him holding her it breaks my heart to know that he won't be with us for a whole month in a half, I know that doesn't sound like very long but with a baby it seems like forever. Cody I want you to know that we are going to miss you so much and that we love you more then we can tell you or show you. We can't wait to come see you in India what a great experience we will have.

Lulu is so cute! She is really growing and looking like a little girl now, not just a baby! I was really sad about Scott being away from the kids, especially Anna, when he deployed 'cause she was so little. But having pictures around and skype really helped. The time will go by before you know it. And I wasn't that excited about going to Japan when we got assigned there either and maybe didn't have the best attitude at first but once I started thinking of it as an adventure for our family (a temporary one) than it was a lot better. I'm sure you guys will have a blast there! And anything bad or crazy that happens will make a good blog story. :) Miss you guys!

Olivia is getting so big and looked very cute in all of the pictures. I'm jealous of the beach trip, we wanted to go but just ran out of time during our visit. I know how hard it can be to leave the family (especially with a young baby), but it will go by quickly and you guys will be back together again. Good luck Cody! Good luck Alycia and Lulu!
-Love, Scotty
