Update on us!

1 year photo we got taken in CA! (Thank you Grandma W)



Well Cecily and I have been in Minnesota for two weeks now, we have so far: put the house together, gone to the Mall of America a few times (we got a year pass to the Underwater adventures aquarium) so we will be going there a lot and of course I'm not complaining about that! The mall is amazing, I knew it would be cool but it totally surpassed my expectations. from the outside it doesn't look like it could be all that it is on the inside! We have gone to many of the millions of parks in the area! This place is so kid/family friendly its great! Utah and Idaho should take some tips especially when it comes to things to do in the winter(indoors)! We have been exploring/driving around aimlessly trying to find things. We have also gone to play group a couple of times with some of the girls in the ward. Everyone here is so nice! Not just the people at church but everyone we meet. CC and I went to the grocery store the other day and not kidding we were stopped by 9 different people so they could admire her and its not like there aren't other children in the area people are just that friendly!


I really do like it here, the church culture is different outside of the west coast and I really like that! I don't feel the "keeping up with the Jones'" attitude at all! Which is so nice and refreshing. I have felt so welcome at church and have already made some good friends! I love the church for that reason no matter where you go you can always depend on the gospel to be the same and to be true and you can always have friends/family within the church where ever you are!


These pics are of CC playing peek a boo and running wild in the mall of America! she has so much energy all of the time!

Update on Cecily: She walks, runs, spins, attempts jumping (her feet don't actually leave the ground but it is so so cute when she tries), she climbs all over everything she is tall enough to reach, dances, and even tries somersaults! Words she is saying: Hi, Wow, ooo, uh-oh, thank you (sounds like tane-too), dada, mama, baba, baby, ow, park (sounds like dart), no, and nope, yup. She loves to pretend to talk on the phone she is already so girly I love it!! She and I love spending time together being silly and dancing and singing around the house!! We have so much fun laughing and playing all day! I wouldnt trade staying home with her for anything!!

this picture below is cc wearing my fuzzy socks she loves those things! Its been cold here already so we have needed them!
CC loves playing with her belly button! I would too if I had and outie!

She is off of the bottle and has been done with the binky for a few months! I thought it was going to be really hard to get her off the bottle because she became so dependent with all of the change but it really wasnt hard at all, she was only taking it before naps and bed so I just quit giving it to her at naps for two days then didnt give it to her at bed time the third day and she was fine. I just give her a little milk in a sippy cup while we read before she goes down!

Kreg is rally liking law school so far too, Its not as bad as we thought (yet anyway) He just goes to school really early in the morning and studies and then studies during his breaks throughout the day and then he is usually home around five thirty to be with us! Yes we know it may change as the semesters and years go on but so far so good!!
