Lulu loves berries and this picture just proves it!

Black Berry Madness!

The other day I was cooking in the kitchen and Lulu was helping me, I caught her taking a break and eating a snack with an ice cream scoop and a mixing bowl. She was one hungry girl!

All Done!

Lulu had to hold her baby in this weeks photo shoot.

And this is what happens when you take a little girls baby away from her

And then when she gets her baby back she is happy again.

Some new words Lulu has been saying or trying to say this week are "Shoes",( "Banana"- "Nana"), ("Hot" "Ha"), "Asher"

1 year and 23 weeks old and Lulu's first hair cut

2012-01-22T13:29:00.000-08:00

We were at Gammie and Bumpa's house for dinner and Lulu and Gammie were having lots of fun with this toy. Lulu pushes a button and a little mouse pops out Lulu makes the same laugh every time it pops out.

Last week we went to the doctors for Lulu's 15 month check up a little late it really was a 17 month check up and we found out Lulu hasn't even gained a pound in the last 5 months she weighs just under 18 pounds she did grow 2 inches which makes her 27 inches tall. We also talked to the doctor about Lulu's hair pulling and we decided to shave her hair so that it wasn't long enough for her to pull any more and then by the time it grew in hopefully she would have forgotten about pulling her hair when she is sad or frustrated. We thought this would be the best time to do it since she doesn't have much hair yet any ways.

Here is a before picture!

Before

And After

After

Lulu did a great job sitting on Cody's lap while he cut her hair, she got a little sad when she saw her hair on the floor but that was it. I don't think it looks much different then before.

Lulu got t new baby from her cousin Asher, Aunt Jess, and Uncle Ryan and she has had so much fun with her. The night she got the baby she had to sleep with her.

Cody has been doing lots of pull ups lately and Lulu loves to do what her daddy does so she loves to do pull ups when she gets the chance. She is pretty strong she can hang there all by herself.

Another week older

1 Year and 22 Weeks Old

2012-01-15T14:20:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday Cody, Lulu, and I walked over to Gammie and Bumpas house for Dinner it was cold outside so we had to bundle Lulu up!

Lulu likes to play with her hair and often it ends up like this.

Lulu found these lotions in the bathroom and she loves to play with them.

She loves them so much she likes to cuddle with them.

Lulu also has discovered the buttons on the TV and whenever she has a chance she sneaks over to push as many as she can.

Friday night we got together at Granny and Gramps for Granny's birthday and these to little ones got to play with each other. Dylan and Lulu!

Today was such a nice day so we went to the park and Lulu had so much fun on the swings

She had fun going down the slide!

We went to Ikea with Brian, Lindsay, Dylan, and Lance Lulu had lots of fun walking around and checking out all the fun stuff. We laid her in this bed and she didn't want to get out she liked it so much.

After Ikea we went and got some frozen yogurt and Lulu wanted to ride on this wooden horse she liked it so much she acted like a monkey.

Coloring, Hiking, Scootering, and Flying!

2012-01-07T15:57:00.001-08:00

We spent most of the week in St. George in the nice weather with Cody's family, here Lulu is coloring at a restaurant. She enjoys coloring but she thinks it is fun to coloring on people's arms and hands so if you are sitting next to Lulu while she is drawing or coloring watch out you may end up being her paper.

We went on a hike, it was a really neat hike I don't really like to hike that much but I loved this hike it was lots of fun. Here all of us are except for Josh who is taking the wonderful picture. We are at the top of our hike.

The three of us at the top, Lulu fell to sleep while on the hike, she was mad at us because she wanted to walk and we wouldn't let her because then we would have never finished the hike so she cried herself to sleep. Poor girl she just wanted to hike like the rest of us.

Once Lulu woke up from her short nap we let her walk the rest of the way back to the car and then we rested. Look how she is resting her hands on her cute little knees.

Sam and Sadie brought their scooters to St. George with them and Lulu wanted to give it a try.

At first she is doing a good job.

Then she slipped and fell off but Cody caught her but she still got a little scared.

She was done trying the scooter!

Lulu has been doing this trick with her fingers lately and today we were able to catch her doing it. She has such little fingers it is so cute to see her cross them. She does it a lot.

While we were in Oregon we started tying a blanket around Lulu's like a cape and she thought that was so neat, she would have us do it all the time. Today when we were at home I saw the little cape my sister Angie had made all the cousins for Christmas last year. So I put it on Lulu and she took off running it was so cute. We then showed her to stick her hands out in front of her, make flying noises and run around the room. She started to do it and it was the cutest thing ever. I love how she picks things up so fast. she is growing up so fast.

1 year and 20 weeks old and A New Year!

2011-12-31T19:29:00.001-08:00

Last week we said good bye to my brother John as he headed back home to Ohio. Here John has "a Lulu in a box"

John and us all left on the same day John to Ohio and us back to Utah. So before we left we headed up to my grandmas house to say good bye.

Cody, Lulu and I got back to Provo for a day before we headed on to St. George to meet up with Cody's family to bring in the new year. Lulu loves to hang out with her cousins Sadie and Sam, she loves to hold their fingers while walking with them.

Lulu is 1 Year and 20 Weeks Old today and we are in St. George I didn't have any tape to hang the sign on the wall so I had Sadie hold it up for me. Thanks Sadie for helping us out.

Some of Lulu's tricks that she is doing, she knows where her nose is, her eyes, her ears, her hair, I say Lulu brush your teeth and she will take her little finger and brush her teeth so cute, she will put her little finger to her lips and say "shhhhhhh", she knows where her tummy is, she will blow kisses, you say be a monkey and she will scratch her chest while making monkey sounds, she folds her arms, she knows how to sign all done, more, and please. Please is my favorite sign that she does it is so cute! She is getting smarter every day and she makes me smile all the time with all the cute and fun things she is learning to do.

Two last pictures of Lulu and Cody before the New Year. I love this picture of Lulu giving her dad one last kiss in the year 2011!

Cheers to a New Year, we had a great night we played games, ate lots of food, played Just Dance on the wii, and went swimming in the hot tube. It was a great night and a great way to bring in the new year.

On Sunday we went and feed the ducks and Lulu did a great job and she had lots of fun!

Christmas and 1 Year and 19 Weeks Old

2011-12-24T19:57:00.001-08:00

Wednesday the 21st was a wonderful day Cody came home from India! We weren't sure how Lulu would react to Cody when she first saw him. At first she wasn't to sure about him but she gave him a hug and then wanted down. Once we got home Lulu didn't want to let Cody out of her sight or reach she just hugged him and held on to him so tight. It was so cute. Cody would sit her down and she would cry and reach for him until he would pick her up. I think she is afraid of him leaving her again so she doesn't want to lose sight of him. She loves her Dada so much and she missed him so much while he was away!

I love this picture of her face and how happy she is her eyes sparkle.

On Thursday we went out to find our Christmas tree as a family. It was a nice day but it was still really cold I forgot my coat but Cody was so nice to let me borrow his coat and Lulu was able to wear her new coat.

Look at her so sweet!

Lulu and I taken our turn at cutting the tree!

Cody and Lulu's turn to cut the tree!

All of us in front of our tree!

Lulu by a little tree just her size.

It was kind of muddy so I put little zip lock bags on her feet with rubber bands to hold them up to keep her shows from getting dirty. It was pretty cute.

Then that night we decorated the tree. Lulu enjoyed doing that!

We had Christmas a day early because my sister Angie and her family were flying out to Alaska on Christmas Eve. So on Friday was our Christmas Eve we went up to grandma's house for our party we got into teams and built our ginger bread houses. Here is Cody and Jaron's masterpiece. They did a great job!

Santa stopped by for a visit. I tired to put Lulu on Santa's lap and that didn't happpen so then all three of us sat on Santa's lap and Lulu still didn't like that idea.

Then the great grand kids did the nativity! They did a great job.

After we went home we got things ready for Santa to come by we put out the cookies and milk for him (I posted a picture of the kids doing that but it dissapered somewhere. As the kids were putting out the cookies Lulu thought they looked to yummy to not eat so she grabbed one and started to eat it. It was pretty darn cute.

Here she is to excited for Santa to come to go to sleep!

Christmas morning Lulu is leading her dad out to the tree and look at her face she is so excited and dad is still sleeping as she pulls him.

Here is the whole gang so excited to start opening presents.

Look at that face she can't wait to get started!

Lulu checking out all of the things from our stockings!

Here she is opening up her presents, she did a great job at opening her presents. I think her favorite toy that day was her baby doll stroller.

How cute!

Both Cody and I gave eachother the game Things for Christmas it was pretty funny!

Christmas breakfast!

Cody and Angie had some fun with the camera while waiting to eat!

Creepy Cody!

Awww Angie!

On Saturday we took the Kenner gang to the airport to send them off to Alaska. Everyone kept telling Angie that it was going to be an adventure going to Alaska so she thought it would be cute to have the kids dress up like Thing 1 and Thing 2 from a Doctor Seuss book and then she would dress up like Doctor Seuss and it was pretty cute.

Lulu turned another week older and this was the best picture we could get of her.

Lulu woke up from her nap with this crazy hair!

Lulu loved eating the Olives off of her fingers during Christmas dinner.

On Christmas day we saved a couple of presents to open with Grandma Guptill. Here is Lulu tearing into her present. Oh and we wore our christams pj's all day because Grandma was going to wear her's.

Lulu's favorite present of the day was her little broom set. She was so excited look at her face in the picture below. It is priceless!

She didn't waste any time in putting it to use. She loved it!

Lulu likes to sit in her baby doll stroller, this time she wanted to have her baby on her lap and she was feeding herself some pretend food.. She is so silly!

Merry Christmas!

My mom has a little Nativity set that the kids like to play with and Lulu loves to play with it, she loves to give baby Jesus kisses. Here it looks like she is going to eat baby Jesus but I promise I'm just slow at taking the picture and she just gave the sweet kiss.

Jaron has a birthday coming up on the 29th and so he had his friends party on Tuesday before they move to Alaska. He had his party at Chuck E. Cheeses his favorite place ever. Happy Birthday Jaron.

Lulu had some chocolate cake for Jaron's birthday and she loved it as you can tell in the picture she also had to use two forks one for each hand and she had to do it on her own with no help when I tried to feed her a bite she wouldn't eat it but would eat a bite off her fork it was pretty funny.

My sister Angie was packing when she found her daughter Kelsie's glasses from her Halloween costume as Velma. And Lulu was wearing them until I wanted to take a picture then she didn't want to wear them so in this picture I was showing her how it was done. I know I look a little special.

Here I got a picture with Lulu wearing the glasses.

I had to post this picture because she is so cute!

The other day I was blowing my nose and Lulu wanted a tissue to and she was blowing her nose over and over and over it was so cute. She loves to blow her nose! I love her eyes in this picture she looks like she is really trying to get something out of that nose of hers.

Lulu has never liked carrying anything around like a blanket or stuffed animal but the last couple of days she has been attached to any of her blankets and loves to carry them around with her it is pretty cute.

We went to our ward Christmas party tonight and the elders decorate this fancy light tree in our tree decorating contest it had lots and lots of lights it was a sight to see. Lulu couldn't get enough of it.

Angie was given a present and it had a pretty gold bow on it and Lulu put it on her head to wear, she wouldn't let me get a picture of her so this is the best we got.

1 Year and 17 Weeks Old and Ice Cream Cones

2011-12-10T21:04:00.001-08:00

This week just flew by we have been busy getting things ready for Christmas, I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Since Lulu has been walking she has been so busy and all over the place. She keeps me on my toes that is for sure.

Lulu loves to help me and others clean on Sunday my sister was sweeping the floor after dinner and Lulu just had to help her sweep it was the cutest thing ever. The broom is so big compared to her that it isn't the easiest thing to do but she doesn't give up she keeps on sweeping.

The other morning I was in the bathroom getting ready and when I came out and around the corner I saw this little girl walking around with gloves on her feet it was so funny and cute. My mom said that Lulu had put one glove on all by herself and wanted my mom to put the other one on. She is so silly. I think Lulu looks so grown up in this picture, I don't want her to grow up it makes me so sad can't they just stay little babies forever?

On Thursday December 8th was mine and Cody's 4 year anniversary. Cody is still in India but that didn't stop him from sending me some beautiful roses I loved the surprise. Lulu and my sister Angie also surprised me with some beautiful roses. I can't believe that we have been married for 4 years the time has gone by so fast. We have had some pretty amazing years together. I sure do love you Cody thanks for being such a wonderful husband and dad.

On Friday Angie, Karlee, My Mom, Lulu and I went out to lunch and stuffed ourselves silly. For dessert they had the smallest ice cream cones I have ever seen and they were just he right size for Lulu. I started out by feeding it to her but pretty quickly she took over and she was the one in charge. It was so funny to watch her eat it she loved loved it.

Here she is with so much excitement for her beloved ice cream cone. It was one of the funniest things to watch her get so excited about her ice cream cone. Every time I look at this picture it makes me laugh.

Saturday night we went over to my parents church where they were having a Joy to the World event where they had hundreds of nativities for everyone to enjoy. They also had a room for children to dress up and put on a live nativity. We tried to get Angie's kids dressed up and Lulu but it didn't work out to well. As you can see below Lulu is running away with baby Jesus and she is pretty happy about it. And you can see Karlee in the back right corner looking at the empty cradle.

We tried again to get Lulu in character this time as a cow that didn't last to long, just long enough for her to smile and to take this picture before she ripped her cow hat off and took off.

Here she is another week older this session of pictures were pretty easy to take, Lulu stood still long enough for me to get a couple descent looking pictures of her.

Lulu is so funny, since Cody has been in India we have been talking to him on skype and Lulu does pretty good about talking to him on the computer. Her favorite thing to do while on skype with Cody is to give him lots and lots of kisses, it is so cute to watch her give him kisses on the computer. When ever she sees a computer she always goes right up to it and says "dada" it is so cute, I'm so curious how she will act when Cody comes home and she sees him for the first time. Saturday night when we were at the church for the nativity thing they had a big screen on the wall showing a video and Lulu looked at it and kept saying "dada" and waving at it. It was so cute and kind of sad that every time she sees a screen she thinks that her "dada" will be on it. Her "dada" will be here soon only 10 more days!

1 Year and 16 Weeks Old

2011-12-03T21:58:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that it is already December where has the time gone? Well with it being December it is time for all the fun Christmas festivities to start so this week we took a trip to Portland to visit Santa and to stop by my dads office to say hi.

Here Lulu is with my dad at his work all dressed up in her Christmas dress!

Lulu was so cute she was so busy walking around my dads office and stopping at each desk and she would say something in her baby talk to the people and then she would run off. It was so cute and everyone thought she was so cute!

After visiting my dads office we went to see Santa here Lulu is standing in line waiting her turn to see Santa.

Jaron, Kallie and Lulu waiting in line to see Santa!

We finally made to Santa, I love this picture I think it is so cute. I love Santa!

Jaron reading his Christmas list to Santa while Kelsie listens so nicely!

Lulu just checking out what is going on but not getting to close to that strange man!

All the kids and even Angie got to get her picture taken with Santa, Karlee wouldn't go any where near Santa unless Angie was with her. So Angie got her picture taken even though she wasn't planning on being in it.
And then the moment I was worried about, I thought Lulu would cry when she sat on Santa's lap. But once we got there and after watching Lulu walking around Santa and looking at him like it was no big deal. I thought for a second that maybe she would be OK with him. But I thought wrong she did not like him. Santa was a good sport! And poor Lulu wondering why we sat her on this strange man's lap.

The other night Lulu was under the kitchen table and she really wanted to fit through the legs she tried and tried to get though I finally had to just pull her around. She is so silly!
Jaron and Lulu were laying on the floor next to each other the other night and Jaron kept asking me to take a picture of the two of them. It was pretty cute! Lulu sure loves her cousins! I love Jaron's big smile in this picture!

I love this little one so much! Something cute Lulu started to do this week, when she wants something sweet like a m&m she will say "yum, yummy" oh I just love it!

1 Year and 15 Weeks Old and A Happy Thanksgiving

2011-11-26T14:31:00.000-08:00

The other night Lulu was hanging out with my dad her pa2 and they found my dad's Military Insignia hats, Lulu thought she was pretty cool wearing one of Pa2's hats just like him. I love how they are looking at each other in this picture!

Lulu loves to find the stuffed animals around the house and give them hugs and kisses, Here she is hanging out with all of her stuffed friends on the couch!
Lulu loves to get into everything and loves to try to fit everywhere she can squeeze her little body into. The other night I couldn't find Lulu anywhere, then I heard some movement and then some squeals I found Lulu stuck behind the couch trying to get out. She had started at one end of the couch and ended up at the other end but the other end wasn't big enough for her to get out it was pretty funny!
One day we were playing at home and Lulu was carrying this blanket around the house so my mom tied it around her neck like a cape and Lulu thought that was so fun and neat so every time it would come untied and fall off she would bring the blanket it to you so you could tie it back on her it was so cute! She also wanted to wear Karlee's red glitter shoes which are to big for her feet so she kept tripping with the blanket and the over sized shoes but she was pretty determined to wear both of them!
Lulu loves to sit, stand, and carry these little red chairs around the house. The other day I caught her just sitting in the chair like this and I thought it was pretty cute!

Wednesday night we went out to dinner to Five Guys with my mom and dad. Lulu loved the fries oh wait I meant to say the "Ketchup". She would dip the fry in the Ketchup and lick and suck the Ketchup right off that fry. I think most kids if not all kids love Ketchup!

Since Lulu has had her cold we have been taking long baths at night right before bed to help clear that little nose of hers. She loves the water each night we would spend a hour in there playing in the water. One night she was in there so long her fingers started to get all wrinkly and she wasn't to sure what was going on she kept trying to wipe or pick off the wrinkles it was so funny to watch. I thought she had a hair on her fingers so I went to go get it off when I didn't find a hair but just little wrinkly fingers!

While Lulu is taking her bath she loves to play with the water as it comes out of the faucet so while the tub is filling up I just have the water come out slowly so she can play with it. The other day I was doing something else in the bathroom and when I looked over at her she was sticking her tummy under the water and letting the water fall down her tummy it must feel pretty neat, it was pretty cute to watch. She did it for a long time and has done it every bath time since. Here is a picture of her tying to get her tummy under the water!

Here is my dad making his Famous Cranberry Relish. This is a real treat my dad doesn't make much more than a bowl of cereal and a sandwich so for him to make his Cranberry Relish has become a treat and a tradition. And each year it gets better and better, this year it was the best and he was pretty proud! Way to go dad on the Cranberry Relish.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Campbell's and most of all this little cutie! She was so funny with her tutu, she was in heaven she was just running all around with it on. Then she discovered that she could stick her arm through it and flap her arm up and down, which would make the tutu go up and down it was so funny. We kept pulling her arm out and her tutu down and she would go right back to putting her arm through it and flapping it up and down.

Lulu and her tutu! Lulu eating an apple while sitting on a chair that she pulled her self up on to all by her self. On Sunday we were at Church and she wanted to go walking around but we wouldn't let her past us so she tried and tried to pull her self up on the chair in front of us, it took a few tries but she figured it out and got up and over to the other side she was pretty proud of herself.

Here we are the whole gang, enjoyig our yummy Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks everyone for all the yummy food!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving we were just missing one thing Cody!

1 year and 15 weeks old,a Lulu loves to wear pretty necklaces!

As I was taking Lulu's picture Kallie, Lulu's cousin started to play her flute. Once Lulu heard that she started to blow and walk right to Kallie. It was so cute to watch her blow, she knew what Kallie was doing she even needed to go over and play the flute her self.
Lulu playing the flute like a pro!

So cute, tonight at dinner we were getting ready to say the prayer when I told Lulu to fold her arms. I showed her my arms that were folded and then said "Lulu fold your arms" and she did! It was so cute. Later we were skyping Cody and I said "Lulu fold your arms" and she did it again with out me showing her. She is getting so big and so smart!

Look at those cute little hands and arms!

1 Year and 14 Weeks Old!

2011-11-19T17:05:00.001-08:00

This week has been a little less exciting as last week but Lulu was her usual silly self. On Sunday my sister Serena was looking at the ad's from the paper and Lulu thought that looked fun so she went over and started to do the same thing that Serena was doing it was pretty cute. But then she got tired of sitting in one place so she decided to get up and walk around the house while reading the paper. So here is a picture of her in action.

Every time we do laundry Lulu loves to sit in the basket and play and she even likes to be pushed around in it by her cousins. I even caught her tipping over the basket full of clothes once so she could either push it around herself or to be pushed in it. Kelsie loves to push Lulu around, here the two silly girls are.
The other night we went to Costco with my parents and while we were there my dad was checking out the tires and he took Lulu with him to look. Here she is hanging out in the tires. When I was a kid I remember my dad always taken me over to the tires to smell them, I loved it I thought we were so cool.

I love this picture of Lulu looking up at me with those blue eyes!

Lulu is another week older and this week she has a cold so she doesn't look like she feels very well. I sure hope this cold goes away very soon!

Just relaxing!So a couple post back I wrote how Lulu has found her nose and loves to stick her nose up there and I didn't know what to do to get her to stop. Well the other day my mom saw her sticking her finger up her nose and my mom taught her something different to do with that finger. She showed her how to put her finger over her mouth and say "shhhhhhhh", it is so cute and I need to get a picture of her doing it. So every once in a while I will hear "shhhhhh" and I will look over at Lulu and sure enough she has her little finger right next to her mouth saying "shhhhh". I sure love that girl.

2011-11-12T19:12:00.001-08:00

Oh Lulu I just love this little girl, she makes me smile everyday with all of the funny things she does.

Lulu loves to have her tummy showing so she can rub it and show it off to everyone around. It is such a challenge to get her dressed every morning she loves to take her clothes off but she hates getting dressed. This little girl loves to be naked. Can you blame this girl for wanting to show off that cute little tummy if I had a tummy like that I would walk around with my shirt up as well!

Lulu loves to put things on her head this morning she had fun putting this box on her head. She has a pumpkin bucket that she loves to put on her head and walk around the house. I will have to try to get a picture of that.
Lulu found a new place to read her books. The basket is a nice fit for her!

When we go to the store Karlee and Lulu love to drive the car carts, man these things are not the easiest carts to push around.

You better watch out when you see these to coming around the corner they are crazy drivers Karlee likes to drive with her eyes closed and Lulu can't even see over the wheel.

This girl sure likes to be naked but she loves to wear shoes, she is always bringing me her shoes to put on her feet. If Lulu could pick out her outfits everyday this would be what she would choose to wear nothing, a diaper and shoes!

One morning after I got Lulu dressed for the day she brought be this shoe to put on her so I tried to put it on over her sock but it didn't' fit over her sock so I took her sock off and put her shoe on. Well that left a sock with no where to go so she handed it to me to put on but I didn't know where to put it so I sat it on the floor, Lulu picked up and handed it to me and stuck her foot up in the air so I put it over her other sock and that is how she wore it for the morning. It was pretty funny.

On Thursday we went and feed the ducks it was lots of fun and their was tons of ducks to feed.

Kelsie was so funny she was so scared of the ducks as soon as they came near her she screamed dropped her bag of bread and ran away. Here Kelsie is hidding behind Ma2!

Kallie wasn't afraid she got right down with the ducks!

When we first got there I didn't think Lulu would feed the ducks I was worried she would just eat it so I just fed the ducks and she watched but then towards the end I gave her some bread to see what she would do and she took that bread and threw it to the ducks it was so cute and I was so proud of my little duck feeder!

Pa2 has been getting lots of love from his little grand kids while we have been here. This week Lulu and I have been getting together with our friends on Monday we got together with my friends Erin, Holly, Megan her new baby, and Kim with her son James. Lulu had lots of fun with James who is only three months older than her.

Then on Friday morning we had a play date with Erin and her little one Lillian we had lots of fun playing and going swimming. Then Friday afternoon we went over to my friend Tracy's house where Lulu met Grace, Grace will be two in March. It was fun to watch the two of them play or what I should say play next to each other.

Here they are!

The picture above Lulu is giving Grace a kiss, oh how sweet!

Look at this cute little cutie I love this outfit on her it makes her look like she is ready to go out and kick a soccer ball around.

Look at that mouth full of teeth she just barely got two back teeth in on both sides of her mouth. Och!

2011-11-05T21:39:00.000-07:00

Lulu has had so much fun this week playing with her cousins. They all got matching pj's and they love to wear them together. Here they are getting ready for bed. Lulu just took a bath that is why her hair is wet looking.

Here the three of them are just relaxing.
Ma2 is reading Lulu and Karlee a story!

I love walking through Targets dollar section to see what fun things they have. I found this fun headband, I love it!

The girls getting comfy in their matching PJ's and their balls that they got from the dollar store!

I love love this picture I love both Karlee and Lulu's faces they are so happy, it makes me happy just looking at this picture. It was snowing inside on these two cuties!

Lately Lulu wont give me a smile when I try to get her picture for the weekly picture, so today we thought we would try putting her upside down to see if we could get a smile and it worked.

Lulu is getting so good at walking she is getting so good that when we go to the store she wants to walk around but she is not that good yet and so when I don't put her on the ground to walk she throws a fit. She is a little silly girl.

Happy Halloween

2011-11-01T09:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween! We started our Halloween activities on Saturday night by going to our stake trunk or treat it was lots of fun and the kids thought it was pretty neat. Here is a group shot of all of the kids!

On Halloween we went over to my Dad's work for a party the kids went trick or treating around the office and then the kids made their own Carmel Apples they had lots of fun doing that and they enjoyed eating them even more.

Here is Pa2 and a little duckie

After the party we headed home to get ready to go trick or treating. Here is the whole gang all ready to go. Lulu was a pro at trick or treating she would reach into the bowl pick out a piece of candy and then she would drop it into her bag. The only thing she didn't do was say trick or treat. Next year!

Here we are me and my little duck. I love my costume I picked up my devil horns and my bow tie which is my favorite part of my costume on clearance at the fabric store. It was so random and so last minute!

Happy Halloween!

The gang after a night of trick or treating and partying!

2011-10-29T21:28:00.001-07:00

Another week has gone by it seems like time is flying around here. Lulu has been up to a lot of fun things this week. She sure loves to walk and she does lots of it these days.

Lulu needed to take a break from all of her walking so she found the perfect little spot for herself to sit.

Lulu loves the vacuum every time I vacuum the floors at home she is right behind me following me around. Here she got to ride the vacuum and loved it for a minute and then she slides off and likes to watch the vacuum go.
And then she helped vacuum she thought that was pretty neat. What a big helper.

Lulu wore Pa2's shoes the other day and she thought was pretty cool!

The other day Lulu discovered the buckle in her high chair and she was determined to get them to snap together she was there for 20 minutes trying and then I took a shower and when I got out she was still there trying to get them to snap together she was there for 45 minutes trying. I saw that she was trying to snap the to ends together so I tried to show her where the right place to snap them was but she wanted to do it her way. She is so funny!

Tuesday night we went out for pizza and we wanted to give Lulu a ride on the horse she liked it while it was sitting still.

But as soon as we put that quarter in and it started to go she didn't like it anymore, I love her face in this picture!

Since Lulu has learned to walk she loves to carry boxes and pillows around the house with her. It is pretty funny to watch because she is the best at walking yet and to watch her carry these objects around is pretty funny.

Lulu saw her cousin Karlee wearing socks on her hands and so she wanted to do it to and everyday since then whenever Lulu finds these socks she hands them to me and then sticks out her hand for me to put them on. She is so funny and now when she has them on she will stick her hands out and growl at people it is pretty funny. She also likes to wear her cousin's headbands on her head she wont wear her headbands but she loves to wear her cousins.

A picture of matching Karlee and Lulu with socks on their hands and headbands on their heads. Love them!

One night while I was reading Lulu a book before bed she found the socks and wanted me to put them on her hands after I was done reading the book and doing our bedtime routine I went to take the socks off so that Lulu could go to sleep she did not like that one bit so I but them back on and she was a happy girl and she went right to sleep so once she fell asleep I went in her room to take a picture of it because I thought it was so cute!

When I was trying to take Lulu's weekly picture she had something that I didn't want in the picture so I took it away and she was not very happy with me as you will be able to tell in the pictures. No smiles from this little girl in these weekly pictures.

Since Lulu has been walking church is a lot more interesting she is always on the go so we spent some time in this room to let her walk around. She had fun and I was able to listen to the speakers.

This week has been lots of fun last Sunday Cody, Lulu, and I packed up our car and headed off to Oregon. Lulu and I are going to stay with my parents while Cody is in India for a couple of months. Cody was able to spend a couple of days with us before he left to India.

Here Lulu is being so silly I love it.

Before Cody left we wanted to get some pictures of Lulu in her Halloween costume with Cody since he will be gone for Halloween!
Lulu with her pumpkin

Our little Duckie

We had a chance to go and hang out with my friend Steph and her cute little one Ginny while they were in town visiting.

We went over to my grandma's house to visit and Lulu got her very own miniature candy bar and she loved it so much she wouldn't let us help her with it. She ate the whole thing.

After all of the chocolate she needed some water.

Wednesday night Lulu started to walk. That is the one thing Cody wanted Lulu to do before he left to India and she did it. He was one proud Dada! Once she took a few steps she couldn't and wouldn't stop trying over and over she wanted to walk. This is the next morning and she was still going. I took a video of her walking and I tried to put it on her but couldn't so if you want to see her in action check out my facebook page.

Here we are at the airport saying bye to Cody!Cody you sure will be missed. We love you lots!

Look at these to little cuties all dressed up! Lulu and Karlee have been having lots of fun together!

We had a play date with Ginny and Steph, Annabell and Sarah, Lulu and me. It was lots of fun!

Matching shirts for these girls I love all of there faces they are so silly!Here is our cute little one another week older. She is now a pro at walking or at least she thinks she is. She thinks she needs to walk every where we go.

1 Year and 9 Weeks Old

2011-10-15T20:47:00.001-07:00

I forgot to post this picture that we took the week before we went to Mexico. Lulu has this toy that she can push around and walk with she loves it so much. But while she pushes it around our place she runs into things and then gets frustrated that she is stuck so the other day Cody had her walk around the block with it and she loved it. She didn't want us to help her or touch the toy. It was so cute watching her walking she is so little.

Monday night we had a Halloween party while all of Cody's sisters were in town. We dressed up ate yummy food and played games. We had lots of fun visiting and hanging out! I love Cody's costume he cracks me up! The grand kids minus little Benton.

Lulu, Asher, and Dylan hanging out!

I love this outfit of Lulu and she looks so big and grown up in this picture!

We said goodbye one by one to all of Cody's sisters and parents as they all headed off in different directions so we tried to get one last picture of all of the grand kids, this was the best one we could get. I love how crazy everyone is and how no one is looking at the camera you gotta love kids!

We went over to our friends house for her birthday and I loved Lulu's outfit so here she is chilling on the couch eating a apple slice!

Love her face!

Here is the silly little girl she is so cute and everyday she is getting to be more and more funny! We love every moment that we have with her.

1 year and 8 weeks old and Mexico

2011-10-08T22:12:00.001-07:00

We went to Mexico for the week and it was a blast, we ate lots of yummy food, we spent lots of time in the water and just relaxed it was so much fun and of course it went by way to fast!

This was our first day in the pool they had a lazy river that we spent a lot of our time at and Lulu loved just sitting in the shallow part of the pool and playing in the water. She loves the water!

Benton and Lulu sitting in their diapers taking a break from the pool to eat a snack.
Jess, me and Kim on our porch ready for the pool!

Benton and Lulu sharing a apple, it was so cute to watch the two of them eat this apple Benton would feed it to Lulu and Lulu would feed it to Benton it was so cute. It was so fun because they kept taking bits from the bottom of the apple and we kept trying to get them to eat it from the side but they kept making their way back to the bottom of the apple. These two are pretty funny!

Our little family on the beach it was so amazing Lulu didn't like the waves to much but once we got past the waves and into the water she didn't seem to mind it to much. At the other pool looking over the ocean.

Lulu loved playing in this little flinstone car at one of the restaurants.

I love love Lulu's face in this picture

Getting ready to leave we had so much fun!

This is the whole gang getting ready to head to the airportAt the airport waiting to board the plane. We had such a wonderful time it is hard to leave such an amazing place!When we got back to Utah Cody's sister Danielle was in town with her kids Sam and Sadie's so we had all the cousins together and they all had so much fun togetherThis week Lulu took four steps she is getting closer and closer to walking. I'm not ready for her to be walking yet but Cody doesn't want to miss it while he is away in India so he has been working with her so he doesn't miss it.

1 Year and 7 Weeks Old

This past week flew by but we had fun hanging out with our friends one last time before we headed off to Mexico and then on to Oregon while Cody is India for the next two months.

On Monday night we went with our friends Ryan, Val, and Liam for a bike ride up the canyon. It was lots of fun. Lulu and Liam rode in a nice bike trailer together. It was pretty funny to watch Lulu didn't really know what to think about the whole thing I would ride up next to the trailer and Lulu would have her face pressed up against the side of it just crying it was so sad but she survived.

Here is a picture of us taking a break from our ride and eating a snack.

Val, Liam, Ryan, Lulu and Me getting ready to head back down!

The Family!
Tuesday night we went over to our friends house the Anderson's for pizza and games! Lulu found this cute little baby doll stroller and fell in love she loved trying to push it around and then she sat in it and loved being pushed around it was so cute! I love that she could fit in it!

Wednesday Lulu and I went with Liam and Val to the park to feed the ducks, I gave Lulu some bread to feed to the ducks and she ate it herself it was pretty cute. There were so many ducks that came up to us to eat our bread that is until this little boy kept running threw them and thought he was so funny running our ducks away from us.

Another week older

1 Year And 6 Weeks Old And A Birthday!

2011-09-24T16:33:00.000-07:00

This week has been a fun week. On Sunday we were over at Cody's cousin Brian's house. They have a little boy named Dylan that is 6 months old and he is so cute. Well him and Lulu are about the same size so while Lindsay and I were in Dylan's room changing the babies bums, Lindsay thought it would be funny to switch the two little ones clothes and then take them into the boys and hand them off to see how long it would take for them to notice that they weren't holding their baby. We only fooled them for like half a second but Lindsay and I sure got a kick out of these two cute babies in each others outfits. (right before this picture was taken Lulu hit her head on a chair so she has cry eyes).

Can you guess which baby is who?

Here the two cuties are again but naked we wanted to see the size difference between the two of them.
Lulu has found her new favorite place to sit in the house. She is so funny as soon as one of us opens the fridge door she dashes over to get in there, she loves to push the button that turns on and off the light she thinks that is pretty cool stuff.

On Tuesday Cody surprised me for my birthday with a trip to Park City to ride the Alpine Slides, We meet Cody's parents up there who watched Lulu while we went up on the ski lift and came down on the Alpine Slide it was lots of fun. Here we are riding the ski lift up.

Here we are at the top it was so pretty and the weather was perfect!Watch out here we come!We did it!

After we did the slide we went out to dinner with Cody's parents to Ruth's Chris it was fantastic. Thanks Cody and Thanks Dan and Peggy it was yummy and lots of fun and thanks for watching our little Lulu for us!Lulu loves to sit in her Bumbo and watch TV, read books, and play. It is pretty funny to watch her climb in and climb out of it over and over again!

On Friday night Cody surprised me once again by taken me out to eat and having my Salt Lake friends their. They gave me this bag full of fun things that I had to wear to show everyone that I was turning the big 3o. Thanks guys it was lots of fun!

Lulu got a balloon and she wanted to wear the 30 glasses too. I love her hair in this picture.

Lulu doesn't look to sure about being in the picture with me!

Cody caught his shrimp and was pretty excited about it!

All of us after dinner! Dinner was super yummy!After dinner we went outside to eat yummy cupcakes that Jess made! Thanks guys for such a wonderful night! I look a little special in this picture but I guess that's what happens when you turn 30. just kiddingOn Saturday was the day that I turned the big 3 o. Cody did a great job he started the day out with making me breakfast which was English muffins, raspberries, yogurt and some orange mango juice. It was pretty wonderful! And of course he made me wear my party gear. Later in the afternoon Cody threw me a surprise birthday party it did a great job. He had called all of our family and friends in the area and had them come to the park a little before I got there to surprise me. He had lunch for everyone and then we did a pinata which was a pony it was lots of fun to break, I went first.

Lulu had a turn

All the kids had a turn then Cody and some of the adults had a turn. It was lots of fun watching everyone take a turn at hitting the Pony!
Little Dylan even had a turn at it.Then we had cake. Can you read what it says, Cody is so funny!

I was working up so good air in my lungs when I accidentally blew out some candles while they were still singing to me. Oops!

Then we did the giant slip and slide it was a big hit and lots of fun.

Here Cody, Lulu and Mckenna are going down the slide.

Here we come!

Thanks Cody for the wonderful party it was lots of fun and a big surprise!

After the fantastic party we went home and rested for a little while and then we got ready to go out to eat at Outback. It was a perfect way to end a wonderful birthday. Thanks Cody for all the birthday fun you are the best husband ever!

After dinner we went home and I opened my presents from Cody and Lulu! I got a new frying pan and a new flat screen TV. Thanks Cody and Lulu I love guys thanks for making turning 3o not so bad!This girl is another week older!

This week this little girl found her nose, and she loves to put her little fingers in those two little holes. I don't know what to do to get her to stop, when I tell her not to do that she gets mad and does it more and more so I'm trying just to ignore it but I don't know if that is a good idea because then she thinks it is OK and does it all the time. If you mom's have any suggestions I would love to hear them. I think nose picking is so yucky!

1 year and 5 weeks old

2011-09-17T22:23:00.001-07:00

When I'm in the kitchen Lulu likes to be right there with me helping me do whatever I'm doing. Here she is cleaning the measuring cup for me!

Later that morning Lulu went to wake up daddy! She does a great job she goes right for the face!
One night Cody was getting Lulu ready for bed and she thought it was pretty funny to have her shirt on her head like this, they practiced walking around the house like this.

I never knew how much Lulu liked her shoes until she keeps finding her sandals around the house and she will bring them to me and have me put them on her feet. It is so cute. Here she is one morning before she has gotten dressed for the day with just her sandals on!

So Lulu and I had our first play date the other day with our friends Val and Liam who is 11 days older than Lulu and Niki and Rylan who is just a new baby he was born at the beginning of August. We hung out at Liam's house and Lulu and Liam had lots of fun playing in his play area with all of his fun toys and then us moms got hungry so we went out for some pizza. It was pretty fun!

This morning I was in the kitchen making breakfast and Lulu was in there with me she wanted to get herself some breakfast so she got some Cheerios. After I cleaned up the cheerios I was busy doing stuff and Lulu was very quite so I looked over to see what she was playing with and she had a container of Cinnamon and it had come open and it was all over the floor and she was wiping it up of the floor and rubbing it on her tummy and legs. She smelled pretty good after that.

Tonight we watched the big game BYU against University of Utah, all of us dressed in our BYU stuff!

Lulu has now been one for over a month, I can't believe it. She is getting so big. This little girl loves to blow kisses to everyone. The other day we were in the living room and Lulu was looking out the window and there was a man outside doing some work, Lulu was just watching him and then all of a sudden she started to blow him kisses it was so cute. Then Cody asked Lulu to blow him a kiss and she wouldn't she just turned back to looking outside and started to blow this man more kisses it was pretty funny.

This girl is getting closer and closer to walking everyday!

1 year 4 weeks old

2011-09-10T09:07:00.000-07:00

Before I start I want to warn you that some of my pictures color is off and I have no idea way I tried and retried to download them to see if they would download normal and this is he best I got.

On Monday we went to the Lehi Trafalga with our friends Val, Ryan, and Little Liam we had lots of fun but it was super busy. We went on the carousel, Cody first put Lulu on it by herself and she didn't like that so much so he got on with her and she seemed to like it better. We took half a dozen pictures and we couldn't get her to look at the camera. I think we try to get a picture for the whole ride. After our ride we were able to get in a game of mini golf. We had lots of fun!

Here is a family shot, gotta love Lulu with her eyes closed!

On Tuesday Lulu and I met my friend Kami and her daughter at the zoo. We had lots of fun it was perfect we went in the morning when it first opened so there wasn't very many people there at all and it was cool enough outside that all the animals were outside and right there were could touch them if we had a little bit longer arms. Lulu really liked the Monkeys she got upset when we left the Monkeys. She didn't like the gorilla he was scary he even scared me. When we were invited to go to the zoo I didn't think Lulu would even care about the animals but I was wrong she noticed the animals and she liked some, she loved others and she didn't like a few.

Lulu is one lucky girl not only did she get to ride the carousel once in one week but twice in one week and by the picture she liked it just as much as the day before. Did you notice that we are ridding a monkey Lulu's favorite animal at the zoo. She really is one silly girl.

Lulu wearing her dad's hat!

Couple of weeks ago I found these cute sunglasses for Lulu and I just had to get them for her, We put them on her just the other day and I thought for sure she would take them off right when I put them on her but she didn't she left them on and liked she just smiled.

Love Her!
On Friday we went back to the Lehi Trafalga with our friends Rusty, Niki and their new baby Rylan. This time it was during the day while all the kids were in school so we pretty much had the place to our selves it was nice and a big change from when we went on Monday. This time we were able to ride the race cars, do the boats that you can squirt water at each other, we all got pretty wet.

Cody weighs himself in our bathroom on the scale and today I caught Lulu doing what her dad does standing on the scale it was so cute to watch her standing on the scale!

This little girl is another week older. For her birthday she was given this cute BYU outfit it fits perfectly she wore it today for the BYU game against Texas!

This bow is the one that came with the outfit but it was kind of big and she didn't like that to much so it was a challenge to keep the bow in her hair that is why the picture above she has in one of her smaller bows which she still pulled off her head! The bow is almost as big as her head!

So Cute! Go BYU

1 Year and 3 Weeks Old

2011-09-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

This week we just hung out and didn't do to much! Lulu got some new cute pj's and here she is showing them off. Lately Lulu has been saying "uh oh" I'm not sure how to spell it. She is so funny she will be in her high chair eating her food or I guess playing with her food as what she does and she will drop her food on the ground and say "uh oh" she is so funny! And she sure can make a mess!

We went out to dinner with Cody's parents and grandparents and we had to get a picture of all of us minus Cody who was taking the picture!

Lulu got a ring stacker for her birthday and she loves to put two of the rings on her wrist or just in her hands and carry them around the house and she crawls from place to place.

This week we have been putting Lulu in her crib for nap time and letting her cry herself to sleep, I always have to go in and peek on her once she has fallen asleep. On this day she had gathered all of her blankets and stuffed animals that are in her crib to the end of her crib and was laying on them, it was pretty cute!

We have been starting our days off with a nice walk Cody likes to carry Lulu part of the way and she likes it to.

Here she is in her stroller riding in style with her feet up on the bar just relaxing!
We went swimming with Gammie the other day one last time before the pool closes for the summer. Here is a little bear I found crawling around the pool furniture!

We went over to Cody's cousin Brian's wife's Lindsey's parents house for a tailgate party for the Boise State football game. They had a trampoline and Lulu got to jump on a tramp for her first time. She thought it was pretty fun!

One morning Lulu and I were just hanging out watching the price is right and she would clap every time they clapped on the TV it was pretty cute!

Lulu turned another week older, I can't believe that she has been a year old for 3 weeks now the time has flown! This girl keeps standing up all by herself in the middle of the room, and she loves to walk along things I really don't think it will be much longer before this little girl is walking. She also has another tooth that is half way through and that makes 8 teeth!
Showing her tricks of standing up with no hands!

S'mores, Yummy!

2011-08-27T09:04:00.000-07:00

This week Angie's family was still here so we had lots of fun before they headed back to Oregon.

This picture is from when we went to Colorado I didn't have my camera on me so I took this from Angie's camera and forgot to do it for last weeks post so it's just a little late. Here are all the cousins together I think it turned out pretty good with smiles and everyone looking! We had lots of fun and of course it went by way to fast!

This picture is also from Angie's camera I love it Look at that belly! We went to the doctors on August 16Th for Lulu's 1 year check up and she is in the 1st percent tile for weight so our little girl may be little but she still has a belly! Love Her!

Lulu has been standing on her own a lot lately, here she is standing on her little chair what a little dare devil.

Monday night we went up the canyon to have a fire and eat tin foil dinners and smores, Here is my tin foil dinner before it was cooked.

We had lots of fun while we were up there the weather was perfect and the kids had fun running around, watching the fire, and making s'mores!

Lulu had her first taste of a s'more and loved it!

Lulu woke up Tuesday morning don't feeling good and with a little dried snot stash it was pretty gross and funny at the same time so we had to get a picture of it so Lulu can remember it forever! Who wants a kiss?

On Tuesday we went to Thanksgiving Points Dinosaur Museum for two buck Tuesday! We had lots of fun exploring all of the different things that they have to offer. That was my first time there.
Here is Lulu and Karlee trying to catch this giant piece of fabric that is blowing in the air!

This picture is kind of blury but this is the whole gang in front of a dinosaur!

This last weekend Cody and his dad were in a golf tournament called the Mulligan they had lots of fun doing it together. It was three days of golf, golf, and more golf!
On Friday night Cody and I went to a dinner for the tournament. This was only the third time since Lulu was born that Cody and I have gone out on a date, the last time was on our anniversary. So it was fun to dress up and go out on a date with Cody, although it was weird not to have Lulu with us since she is always with us! Thanks Angie for watching Lulu so we could go!

We went over to this new place next to our place called Provo Beach Resort to play, we started out with a game of bowling. We had Lulu try on Karlee's shoes which was the smallest size they had and every time Lulu moved her feet would come right out of the shoes. We wanted her to push the ball but she didn't want to have anything to do with the ball she just wanted her Momma!

Then we played a game of croquet was a little harder for the kids to play and understand but it was still fun! Here Cody is helping Kelsie hit the ball.

Yesterday morning Lulu was playing in the kitchen while I was doing the dishes and I looked down and she had put a dish towel on her head and was just sitting there with it on her head.

Here is Angie and Karlee, we had so much fun while they were here visiting the time went by way to fast but it usually does. Thanks Angie for coming to our house we loved every minute of it.

Here is a group shot of all of us before the Kenner family loaded up the car to head back to Oregon!
Lulu has been doing this a lot lately, she just closes her eyes for a few seconds and then opens them and then closes them again. It is the cutest and funniest thing she is one funny girl!

This morning Lulu was taking a bath and she just loves playing with the water as it comes out of the faucet!

Her new thing is to drink the water as it is coming out of the faucet she looks so grown up as she is doing it! After I took these pictures Lulu slipped and fell and bonked her ear on the tub and got a little cut on her ear I felt so bad for her. Poor girl, there will be no more standing in the bath if I can help it!

Lulu is One Year and Two Weeks Old this week and she is making us smile more and more each day!

One Year And One Week Old!

2011-08-20T14:36:00.001-07:00

While my sister Angie is visiting me we decided to cruise on over to brothers house in Colorado for the weekend. We had lots of fun and did lots of fun things. On Friday we started the day of at this place called Focus on the family. It was so neat it had rooms of slides and climbing things the walls had paintings of cartoons. The older kids and us adults went down this really tall bumpy slide. The kids would go down it over and over and us adults could only handle the slide once. They also had this fun room for kids under the age of 4 so I took Lulu and her cousins Karlee and Anna and they had fun running and crawling around the room.

Lulu crawling through the tunnel!

Lulu had fun playing with the games on the wall!
Look Lulu caught a fish and now she is checking out her hands to see if they are clean!

Here is Karlee and Anna hanging out!After we finished there we heading on to a park for the kids to cool off in this really neat fountain area. Lulu loved it, I just let her crawl around and play in the water. There was a little lazy river going around the fountain and this huge circle in the middle with water falling from the top of it.

Here Lulu is cruising her way across the mini lazy river.

Don't worry I forgot to pack Lulu's swimsuit although I remembered everything else like her swim diapers, her hat, and her swimsuit cover so Lulu had to wear a onsie but she didn't mind. She loved sitting on the edge and stick her feet in the water here she is clapping, I love her!
Watching the water fall from the fountain!

Chiling in the water!

Here is the full fountain and some of us hanging out and eating some snacks.

Friday night we went out to dinner at this place called the Flying W Ranch, we ate some yummy BBQ food and then they had some singing cowboys put a concert on for us. Before dinner we walked around the ranch and they had a tee pee and little houses for you to walk through that had shops inside of them. It was lots of fun and the kids loved it. I'm sad I didn't any pictures of us at the Flying W Ranch.

While we have been at my brothers house little Lulu has discovered the stairs and she is always wanting to go down them or up them, one time I was in the other room grabbing something and when I came back into the room I couldn't find her anywhere so I ran over to the stairs and this little one was almost to the top and I freaked out, but she was so proud of herself! This is only the second time Lulu has been on stairs, and she thinks she is pretty good at them.

On Saturday we went to the Western Mining Museum and were able to pan for gold the kids and us adults had lots of fun looking for gold. I tried to get everyone in the picture but didn't do a very good job.

Lulu and I looked for gold together and we did a pretty good job. Lulu was a big helper.

Here are the kids!

Before bedtime Lulu had fun playing with this pig she was really good at putting the money in the slot on the top of the pig she sat there putting the coins in over and over again I was very impressed! I love the look on her face, she is so determined to get the coins in there!

Lulu is One years old and One week! In the first two pictures she is standing up against the wall she was so proud of herself!

Thank you Scotty and Emily for such a fun time we enjoyed every minute of it!

Jennie and Patrick I'm sorry we didn't get to see you this trip but next time for sure!

One Year Old!

2011-08-14T22:11:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday Lulu! Today Lulu turned One Years Old! I can't believe that it has been a whole year since Lulu was brought into our lives! She is the best thing that has ever happened to us. She is so happy and is always smiling, she loves to dance and give kisses. She loves to cuddle with her daddy and she loves to be right with me all the time.

She is my little buddy!

After Church we took a little family picture just the three of us!

After Lulu's nap we skyped with my parents while we sang happy birthday and Lulu gave cake another try and she seemed to like it better this time around. I love this picture she is looking at Cody like is it OK that I do this?
She tried it and she looks like she is saying oh oh! She wore the same outfit she wore for her birthday party but the crown is different then the one she wore for her party Angie made two crowns because we couldn't decide on which colors we liked best. They both are so cute!

She liked it so much that she wanted to share with her daddy!

Then of course she had to share with her mommy!
Now she is getting into it!

YUMMY!

Now it's present time she had fun opening her presents she remembered how to do from yesterday.

Lulu got a mini Elmo, she loves Elmo. Her favorite thing is to give Elmo kisses!

Cody is holding the 1 year old sign for me. Lulu is dancing to the song from her new book.

Lulu shares her birthday with her great grandpa Hansen. We had a birthday party for the two of them in the evening. Here they are getting ready to blow out the candles!

Lulu's third attempt at eating cake

She used a spoon on her birthday cake this time and she had fun making a mess!

So Sweet!

Love Her So Much!

Lulu's1st Birthday Party!

2011-08-13T21:30:00.001-07:00

Our friend who has a baby a week older than Lulu let us borrow this fun toy and Lulu loves it! It plays music and the little bear on top dances.

Angie and her family came into town this week we took a trip to Costco and while we were there we of course had to get a hot dog, and we thought it would be fun to see Lulu's reaction to sourkruat and she ended up loving it and taking the little bowl from me to feed it to herself it was crazy how much she liked it.

So the day has come, Lulu is one! We had Lulu's birthday party on Saturday the day before her birthday! And it turned out perfect!
Here is Lulu in her birthday outfit at 52 weeks old. She was loving the water balloons and did not want to work with me.

I love that I have Kallie and Angie holding the sign up behind Lulu!
Thanks Kallie and Angie!
Angie made Lulu's cute crown, I love it!

During the party we played a couple of games, the first game was a ducky race down the stream in Cody's parents back yard. Everyone loved doing it and it worked out great! Cody did a great job running it. We also did a water balloon toss and that was fun and wet.

we had beach balls blown up for the kids to play with, it was fun to watch them play!

The Birthday Girl!

The Happy Birthday sign!
The Pom Pom Balls!

The cupcakes!

Lulu's Cake!

Then we sang happy birthday to Lulu and gave her cake, Lulu wasn't to sure about what was going on. When we first put her cake on her tray she wanted to touch the flame so both Cody and I told her no and she didn't like that so she started to cry.

Both Cody and I helped Lulu to blow out her candle!

She is like what is this!
Love her face!
And then she started to cry, She didn't want her cake. We took her out of the high chair to clam her down, this is what happens when you take a short nap and don't want to take another one.

So then I sat on the grass with her to see if she would eat her cake then. She would just touch it with one finger and then try to feed me the frosting and then she started to put it in my hand. She is a funny girl!

Then Lulu got busy on opening her presents! She did a pretty good job.

Lulu also had help from her friends on opening her gifts which was good or we would have been there for ever. Lulu got some really fun toys and cute clothes.
Lulu in the madness of wrappers and presents!

Happy Birthday My Sweet Little Lulu!

Lulu

2011-08-06T21:54:00.000-07:00

This week Lulu and I have done a lot of running around getting things for her birthday, so she spent a lot of time in shopping carts and this is her favorite way to ride in the carts. She loves it she thinks that she is so cool and guess what she is pretty cute standing in there holding on as I push her around. She likes to bounce a little and she always has a big smile on her face.

We went out to dinner with some friends the other day to Five Guys (yummmmm) and Lulu had her first french fry.

Lulu loves her friend Elly and Elly loves Lulu it is so cute to see them together!

This is Lulu's favorite place to hang out, right under my night stand it is so cute to watch her crawl on there and just sit there and play with her toys and things that she knows she isn't suppose to play with!

Lulu and I went to Cody's soccer game and she had so much fun standing next to her stroller and cheering him on.

Lulu got a present from her Gammie and Bumpa for her birthday and it was this little red guy "Elmo" she loves Elmo and here she is giving him kisses!

Her Aunt Jess, Uncle Ryan, and Asher gave her this little Elmo phone that she loves to talk on it is so cute to watch her and listen to her talk on her phone.

(I don't know why this picture is like this)

Just one more week until this little girl is 1 years old!

Jess, Ryan and Asher go back to Turkey tomorrow and we had to get pictures of Lulu and Asher together one more time. I love this picture I love how Lulu has her finger in Asher's ear and I love his face (like what is this girl doing to me) and then I love Lulu's face blowing bubbles with her tongue she cracks me up! We will miss you guys!

Oregon and 50 Weeks Old

2011-07-30T23:56:00.000-07:00

This week we were still in Oregon with my family. My Brother and his family left on Monday to head back to Colorado so before they left we got a picture of all the cousins together. They are wearing crowns that they made at Anna's 3rd birthday party.
I love how all of them are looking in all different directions Kelsie is the only one looking at my camera I guess that is what happens when you have more than one person taking pictures!

We went swimming at a wading pool that I went to as a kid. Lulu had fun sitting in her floaty, the water was shallow enough that she could reach the bottom of the pool with her feet so she was walking around the pool and loving it. I love Jaron in the back with his goggles on ready to go under.

Another day we just stayed at home and the kids went swimming in the wading pool Lulu wanted to wear these goggles on her head but every time we tried to put them on her eyes she took them right off.

Here is the whole gang I love Lulu's face it looks like she is one little mad mama but she is just talking, looks like Kelsie is looking at Lulu like what is she doing!

We went to Jaron's pack meeting where he got lots of rewards and badges for cub scout camp he was so proud and we were proud of him. Way to go Jaron.

We went Miniature Golfing and I tried to get a picture of her golfing but it was harder than I thought to have her hold the club.

So Lulu took it into her own hands to golf Lulu style.

She got it in the hole.
And out of the hole.

My sister took this picture and I love it!

Lulu got a present from Ma2 and Pa2 for her birthday and we couldn't wait to open it. She got Olivia books. She loves to read about Olivia the pig at night before bedtime. Lulu did a great job opening her present. She even wore her birthday suit! Thanks Ma2 and Pa2.

It's my mom's birthday today so we partied it up! Happy Birthday Mom!
Lulu turned 50 Weeks Old today and when we first started to take pictures she just sat there with no expression on her face and she even kind of looked like she was going to fall asleep. Then I changed her back drop and she seemed to like wake up and smile.

Tonight my friend from high school got married it was a great night, it was fun seeing my friends from high school.

They had dancing and Lulu loved it she wanted to be out on the dance floor all night and she loved shaking a leg and her arms it was so cute we tried to get it on camera but of course once we pull out the camera she wouldn't do it.

As we were getting ready to leave we were saying goodbye and Lulu kept looking over Cody's shoulder at something, it was a boa hanging on a rack. They had a little dress up area for people to dress up and take pictures with. So we of course had to join in the fun and Lulu thought it was fun to wear the boa, my favorite part is that Cody is wearing that Micky Mouse hand, it cracked me up!

49 Weeks Old And A Trip Home

2011-07-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

This week has been a busy one.

I left Lulu in my room for a minute while I went to go get something in the other room when I came back this is what I found. Lulu had made one big mess and she sure was proud of it, she had fun doing it!

Lulu has been doing a lot of this lately, talking on the phone. It is so cute she will pick up our phones and put it right to her ear and start talking. It is funny how fast they learn things and at such a young age.

We went to Costco the other day and Lulu has learned out to stand up in the front of the cart and it totally freaks me out so when we were at Costco she stood up and put her in the main part of the cart and she just loved it. She would stand there and bounce up and down and talk and laugh and wave to people it was so cute.

We went out to eat with Cody's family the other night and I was taking pictures of Lulu and I thought this one was pretty funny! I love it!

We left Utah on Thursday and made the long drive to Oregon to hang out with my family for a week. On Friday we went to the zoo and Lulu almost got eaten by a lion but Aunt Angie saved her. Thanks Angie that was a close one!

After the zoo we went out for pizza and Lulu was able to ride the horse, she didn't like it to much.

So Dad hoped on and saved the day by riding the horse with Lulu but Lulu still didn't like it!

Today was Lulu's cousin Anna's 3rd birthday party and it was a pool party, it was so much fun! All the kids made crowns and wore Lei's and got sunglasses. The kids played games, swam, and went on a treasure hunt and hit a Pinata! It was fun!

Lulu didn't like the water to much I think it was pretty cold. Here she is swimming with Kallie and Kelsie.

Here is most of the gang swimming in one of the pools!

Then we hit the Pinata!

All of the kids had a chance to hit it but Jaron was the one who broke it. Way to go Jaron!

Here is little crazy Lulu, Once again Lulu didnt want to leave her flower in her hair so we only have one picture of her with her flower.

The Rodeo and 48 Weeks Old!

2011-07-16T22:48:00.000-07:00

The other night we had a picnic by the Provo River and it was lots of fun and so perfect!

Our family and the plastic cup lid of course!

We were at Costco the other day and we saw this cute little chair and I just had to sit Lulu in it and get a picture. She loved sitting in it!

On Friday night we went over to the Shops of Riverwoods with some friends for dinner, then the kids played in the little spray fountain and we listened to the live music. We ended the night with a treat from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We had such a good time with our friends! Lulu wasn't to sure about the water at first but after a minute or two she loved it.

Tonight we went to Lulu's first Rodeo and it was lots of fun. We went with our friends Niki and Rusty and Cody's cousin Brian and his Lindsey and baby Dylan. Thanks guys for going with us. Lulu loved every minute of the Rodeo she danced every time there was music she clapped every time she heard clapping. And she pointed at the horses and bulls when they were out there doing their thing. She is was so cute I loved it and I can't wait to go again with her.

As we were standing in line to buy our tickets I was holding Lulu and all of a sudden I felt something on my arm I looked and Lulu had peed up her front all over her shirt and all over her shorts. Luckily we had an extra outfit but that hasn't happened in a very long time I'm not to sure what happened!

I love her!

11 MONTHS OLD!

2011-07-14T14:36:00.000-07:00

Today Lulu turns 11 months old that is the craziest thing ever to me, that my little lulu will be one years old in just one short month! Oh how much we love this little girl and how happy she makes us! She is growing so much everyday! Today was the easiest time taking her pictures she just smiled and did such a great job sitting there and leaving her flower in her hair. And then as soon as I was done taking her picture the flower was out of her hair it was pretty cute!

Fourth Of July and 47 Weeks!

2011-07-09T21:19:00.000-07:00

Happy Fourth of July! Lulu had so much on her first fourth of July! We started out the day at the Provo Parade and Lulu loved it she loved watching all the bands, and floats go by. In this picture she is watching the parade. She did really well at the parade!

Lulu and her dad at the parade.

Lulu even had her own little chair to sit in to watch the parade!

All the grandkids just missing little Benton, with Granny and Gramps Hansen at the parade!

Later we had a BBQ at the Campbell's and Lulu got her toe nails painted for the first time and she loved it. Annika painted while Jess took care of Lulu, it was so cute Lulu would watch Annika paint and then look up and smile the biggest smile ever! Thanks Jess and Annika!

Then we did fireworks...... Here is Granny with a sparkler she loved doing sparklers!

Lulu wasn't to sure about the sparklers but it was sure fun to do them with her. Although Lulu did love watching all the other fireworks as they went off, she just sat on my lap and watched!

Today this little girl blew a kiss it was the cutest thing ever, I blew a kiss and then she did the same thing right after me! I love her so much!

We went swimming today, Lulu loves the water and she can spend hours just playing in the water. Here Lulu is with Asher!

Lulu is 47 Weeks Old! You will see in both pictures Lulu has her hand near or on her flower, this girl does not like wearing her flowers her headbands anymore. I'm surprised I even got these pictures with her wearing it.

I came around the corner this morning and look who I found creeping around the corner hanging on to the wall! I love her!

Indian Clothes!

2011-07-06T12:30:00.000-07:00

When Lulu and I went to India we brought back all the nieces and nephew's Indian clothes I finally got pictures of all of them dressed up in their clothes and they are so cute! Cody has an outfit from when he went to a wedding and I bought one for me to so here are some pictures of all of us in our outfits!

Our little family!

Sadie, Sam, Benton, Lulu, and Asher!
Cody and Me with all of the Campbell grandkids!

Kelsie, Jaron, Kallie, and Karlee in their outfits. They were so funny in all the pictures I took of them they wouldn't smile I guess they think that all Indian kids don't smile! I love how Kelsie is holding her hand up.

Matthew and Anna

Matthew loved his outfit he feels like Aladdin in his! We are just missing a picture of Little Grant in his.

I just loved seeing all the kids in their clothes it was fun to see what they had to say about getting dressed up in there Indian clothes!

Summer Fun and 46 Weeks Old!

2011-07-03T21:45:00.000-07:00

On Monday my cousin got married in Salt Lake so my mom came into town. The wedding was a nice wedding, it was fun to see all of our family! It was a nice day so we hung outside for awhile just visiting with family!

Then we went inside and danced, Cody and Lulu danced together and it was super cute and I think Lulu enjoyed her self! Cody and I danced before him and Lulu and we practice our country dancing moves that we learned from when we were dating, we didn't do a very good job. But then once Lulu and Cody got out there they had all sort of moves down. Lulu is a good little dancer!
Cody and Lulu dancing some more!

We tried to get a family picture but this was the best one out of all of them for some reason all of us had a hard time looking at the camera at the same time, this was the only one where we had two out of the three of us looking at the camera.

My Mom came for a visit and it was fun having her in town to hang out with us!

My dad came for a night to pick up my mom and to head on to Colorado to see my brother and his cute family! Lulu had fun playing with both of them while they were here!

We went out to eat with Cody's family and here Lulu is coloring for one of her first times, she likes to eat the crayons more than to color with them but once she figures it out I know she will love to color!

Lulu's cousin's Sadie and Sam were blowing bubbles for Lulu and every time a bubble would come close to her she would make this face it was so cute and funny!

On Friday we had a BBQ with some of our friends from when Cody was in the MBA program, it was so much fun to see everyone and to catch up. They had this little pool set up for all the little kids to play in. Here is Lulu and a couple of the other babies playing. I love how all of them were just wearing diapers it was pretty cute. Lulu had fun! Here is Lulu coming to get me after she was done playing in the pool!

We went swimming with Cody's family and we had to get a picture of Lulu's little cousin Asher who just turned two months old, Look how close in size these two cuties are!

Lulu turned 46 weeks old only a few more weeks and this little girl will be turning the big "1" that is so crazy to me! This week this little girl stood up all by her self with no hands it was amazing and at the same time I don't want her to do that yet because then that means she will start walking soon and I'm not ready for my little baby to start walking! I like this picture because you can see all of her teeth. She is getting another one on the bottom next to her two front ones, that would make 7!I love this little outfit!

45 Weeks Old and Lulu's first Camping Trip

2011-06-25T18:58:00.001-07:00

This week was a busy and sad one all at the same time. This week Kim, Tyler and Benton moved to New York so we had to say our goodbyes we sure are going to miss you guys! Lulu is going to miss Benton so much she always got so excited when she saw him it was so cute!

We had Sadie and Sam come and have a sleep over at our house a couple nights and we a had so much fun! We had a pillow fight, watched movies, ate popcorn and pizza. They are such cute kids!

On Friday we went camping for Lulu's first time, and I will be honesty I was nervous on how she would do camping but she was a little pro and she loved it. She spent a lot of time in her stroller watching us cook and hanging out by the fire. She slept right through the night, I woke up all the time to check on her and she was just fine!

Here she is hanging out by the fire in the morning while breakfast was being made.

Here she is just chilling in her stroller next to the fire!

Here is Lindsey, Dylan and Lulu and me hanging out in the morning. Dylan did great as well, he was a good little camper!

We went to the lake and hung out for most of Saturday.

One of Cody's mission buddies lives next to us and they joined us on our camping adventures and they have a little boy named Liam who is a week older than Lulu and he is already walking and he is like twice the size of her. They had fun playing together! They were playing until I said their names to get them to look at me for a picture and they both started to crawl to me. It was pretty cute!

Lulu wearing some sunglasses and she thought she was hot stuff! She did look pretty cute!

When we got home from camping we went for a walk and Lulu was so tired that she just sat there and looked at everything around her as she sat in her stroller. Looks like she got a little wind burn on her cheeks and nose from camping. Lulu turned 45 Weeks Old this week! She didn't want to sit still of course and she didn't want to leave her headband on her head.

Lulu has been doing a great job at sleeping the night through and getting into everything she can!

Campbell Family Reunion and 43 Weeks Old!

2011-06-11T22:33:00.000-07:00

This last week we went to St. George with Cody's family for a little family reunion. We had lots of fun and of course the time went by way to fast. We went swimming, ate lots of yummy food, sang happy birthday to everyone, played tennis, the girls got pedicures and the boys went golfing, bike ridding, boating and lots more!

On Sunday we went to church and after Church we took pictures of the grand kids all together (Sam and Sadie got there later that day).

We have baby Asher who is just a month old, Benton who will be two in August, and Lulu who will be One in August! Aren't these little ones so cute! I'm sad because this was the best one we got with Asher in it and you can't even see his cute little face.

St. George and 42 Weeks Old!

2011-06-04T10:18:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we spent Memorial Day in St. George with a couple of our friends. We went swimming, hiking, shopping, and had lots of yummy BBQ's! We had lots of fun and it by way to fast.

Here is Benton riding a statue horse, he loved it.

We went on a hike to see some waterfalls.

The girls and the kids hanging out while the boys go and explore!

After our hike we saw this old fire truck and Benton just loved sitting in the drivers seat!

Here is little Lulu after a bath in her duckie towel!

Lulu is 42 Weeks Old and She is showing off her new top teeth in this pictures and it sure changes her little smile to a toothy one. Since she has gotten her new teeth she has been sticking her tongue out a lot I'm thinking she is feeling all those teeth.

While we were taking her pictures she was super hungry and tired so she wasn't the happiest little girl. Look at that smile!
