Starting her young!

This is how I found Lucy the other day...
What can I say she takes after her mom! 

Isn't she so dang cute? I can not get enough of her...

Kindergarten Graduate

Carlee is officially DONE with Kindergarten.  They had an end of the school year picnic out at Mattey's Garden (a little garden next to the school the kids help take care of). They put on a few performances for us and then we got to lay out our blankets and have a picnic.

Carlee loved her class and teachers. She is a great student who was always getting talked to about talking. I have NO idea where she gets this from... and although she is one of the youngest in her class she is also one of the tallest. School was only out a few days when she was already asking if she could go back.

2 teachers: Mrs Kinney and Mrs Cochran

day of school she wore on the first. Its a
little too small now, but she wanted to make a
statement. She has GROWN!

Lucy at 5 and 6 months

I might as well just throw in the ol' towel on this blogging thing. I can barely keep up with being a mom, much less a good one, nevermind the blogging.

I just realized I skipped over posting 5 and 6 month photos. So here you go...

Our newest chef...

Lucy LOVES Carlees kitchen. She pulls herself up to it and plays with it for hours (well not really hours but it feels like it sometimes). Her favorite thing to do, besides sucking on all of the fake food, is to bang the metal pots and pans on the tile floor. It's great for headaches.

I feel like she is growing up overnight. I want it to stop. She is getting too big too fast.

Lucy's Baby Blessing

When we went home in December we got together as a family to bless our adorable little baby. Carson blessed Lucy and gave her an amazing blessing. She was given the name Lucy Floretta Perkins. Lucy after Lucy Smith. Floretta after Carson's Grandma.

Here are a few photos of that special day.

Baby Hyrum Armstrong. Look at that little
hand holding action already taking place. 

The TRUTH!

I'll be honest! This is the REAL reason I have not blogged in TOO LONG.
To say I am a little obsessed with Pinterest would be an understatement. I love it!
Sorry I am back and my goal is to try and blog once a day until we leave
for Utah. Wish me luck...

Proof I am NOT a photographer...

First off the model is not so cooperative....

There was LOTS of cute smile opportunutes,
 but by the time I took the photo she was
looking at the distractor/ee (Carlee).

Not to mention her cute brown bow
doesn't even show up in her mop of hair.

So we give up and go for the
constipated/stoned look. We'll try
again next month, haha!

Lucy is 7, 8, wait...9 months!

7 months
Starting to roll from front to back and back to front (and all over the family room). Almost able to sit up. 

8 months
Time for a haircut or pig tails. CRAZY HAIR! Lucy gets LOTS of comments everywhere we go on her hair, eyes and Gerber face. She is now scooting ALL over the place.

9 months
Piggy tails, lots of ba, ba, ba and da da da, etc. Lucy makes me realize just how much our house is not child proofed. She finds every little thing she is not suppose to have. She is such a happy baby even with having cut 3 teeth in the last month. Poor girl!
