Babysitting Miley!

My friend Tenille had her prenatal check-up today. She only has like 4 weeks left! Lucky for us, we got to have Miley over while she was at her appointment. Lizzie LOVES Miley and always asks to go to her house or have her over, so needless to say this was a great day for Liz.

The only problem was, Lizzie assumed because Miley is younger, she'd want to be treated like a baby. Miley was a good sport and even let Liz hold her on her lap for awhile. It looked kinda silly considering they probably weigh close to the same weight, LOL!

I also realized today how mature Lizzie really is. She would bring me any coins or other little toys she'd find and say, "No Miley get it!" She knew those little objects could be dangerous for Miley and was a big helper. It was pretty awesome and gave me confidence in Lizzie's future big sister abilities : )

Quilt Progress!

So Sarah and I are making quilts at the same time, and we thought it would motivate us to see our projects through if we posted our updates on our blogs. I have seen her's in person and it is looking SUPER cute! I am still in the square cutting phase, but will probably put one block together soon to see how I like it so far.

I chose 4 fabrics for a disappearing 9-block pattern. I absolutely LOVE 2 of the fabrics, and kinda settled for the other 2, but we'll see. I may end up getting more fabric to give some more variety. These photos may not look like much, but the stack sure is heavy and believe me, it took awhile to cut each of these 7" by 7" blocks.

Lizzie will be going down for a nap soon, so then I'll have my chance to go at it again. I am determined to have everything cut by Saturday evening! Wish me luck.....

Go Huskies!

Our little diehard fan! hehe. Thanks to Auntie Ash for the sweet tattoo to show her team spirit!

Tomorrow night the Huskies will face Cal High again in the first round of playoffs. We beat them in pre-season, so let's do it again! Hope it doesn't rain....if I remember correctly, they have a dirt field. Not fun for anyone.

Halloween Fun!

It's not even Halloween and we've already had some Halloween fun! Friday night we went to a party at my cousins Tiff and Eric'splace. Saturday we went to my uncle and aunt's house in Brentwood. Lizzie had a blast at both and was so much fun to dress up! She made a cute little tiger, but my favorite was the fairy princess! Tomorrow night is our ward's "trunk-or-treat" so there are sure to be lots more cute little munchkins dressed up! Can't wait!



The fairy princess made a pumpkin appear out of nowhere! Wow!


She loved her tiger tail!

Lizzie's Big Week!

Last week was a big one for Lizzie. We took the crib down and now she is in a "big girl bed"! The first night we brought it home, Daddy and Uncle Ryan set it up and she was so excited! As bedtime approached, she became a little unsure of the idea so Mommy laid with her until she fell asleep. This was how I found her the next morning and when she first woke up. Love it.

The next day she had her first haircut! Tenille had cut her bangs once before, but this was an actual haircut. My sister was getting her hair done the same day, and Lizzie kept saying "Bia hair done." For those who don't know "Bia" is how she refers to herself most of the time. Don't ask me where it came from! You could see on her face how excited she was for this. Thanks again Tenille, she looks ADORABLE!

Big Sister in Training

Last week we had Ryan, Nina and Baby Madison over for dinner. Lizzie was pretty much at Madison's side the whole night, even during the diaper changes. It was really cute to watch and she was really very careful with her. I have a good feeling she will be ready when it's time to be Big Sis to her new baby brother. The highlight for Liz was when she got to hold baby Madison! I think you can see the excitement in her face. It almost looks like Madison (4 weeks old here) was smiling!
