A Year in the Making

It seems as though I have forgotten about our little family blog. I truly have been beating myself up this last year because I haven't posted for so long. I want to eventually turn our blog into a book which means I need to start regularly updating!

       Family Pictures 2012

We sent Kory's sweet mother on a mission to St. Louis.

 

Maura had a fun 2nd birthday in June. I can't believe My girl is 2!!

 



Birthday Girl

At two years old Maura Loves to talk, sing songs, knows all her colors, and can count to 10 in English and Spanish (Dora). She also loves to pet the chickens and find wiggly worms in the garden. She has so much energy that never seems to stop. This girl is also very strong willed and sassy but sweet. We are kinda obsessed with her!

 

Birthday Photo Shoot



Bear Lake July



At the Farmington Parade

 

We went to 2 different parades this year for the  4th. We also participated in our towns Hillbilly derby this year. Alright, just Kory did but it was really fun for me to watch!

July 4th Fun

Still Here!

It is getting harder, and harder to keep this blog up to date. Our lives are have been not crazy, but hectic. I would like to say how much I HATE hunting season. I haven't grown up with hunting what so ever, and now ironically I am married to a man who hunts for a living! I am grateful for a little buddy to keep me company the last couple of years though. Speaking of the little miss, here are some updated pictures from this summer.

Maura's first 4th of July Parade

Aunt Keggie's wedding

Yeah, Baby!!

Catch ups, and Birthdays

I honestly don't know if anyone reads this blog anymore but for the sake of documentation I am going to keep updating!

 I am so sad that the monthly pictures are over.
 My baby has grown up, and I may or may not have
 cried a couple of times during the day of my little girl's birthday....

Before M's birthday, we had Memorial day and went to visit Grandpa Wayment

I'm so sad Maura will never get to know her Grandpa. He was such a good man. I was only able to know him for 4 months before he passed away. We like to think Maura was playing with her Grandpa before she came to us!

 This was Kory's grandpa. 1st grandpa. I think its kinda
 cool he was born in the 1800's.

 My baby is one! My baby is one! We had an awesome birthday party, and Maura got lots of presents, a little too much presents....

Cake in the eyes....

                                 

I am sad that her first year is over, but am so excited about all of the milestones, firsts, and everything else that comes with raising a child! Kory and I are so blessed to have such great family and friends to help us and give advice.

This last month we also went on a camping trip with friends. No pictures though :(  And this summer we are looking forward to going on a lot of camping trips (Kory's request) and going to AZ to visit family and going to our cabin. I LOVE summer!

My Whole Life

Is this little girl....















Nuff Said.....

I see the light!

I see the light at the end of the tunnel from this LONG winter!
Kory and I have been super busy this last month. We've moved and have been trying to put things away but with this little girl its not the easiest....



She was such a good little girl for her monthly photo shoot.
Especially considering she was not feeling good, later on this day we both became yucky sick!




It was Kory's birthday on the 18th of Febuary. He turned 31! I'm married to such and old man!



Maura is doing really well at army crawling. She is getting into everything! This little girl is SASSY....


It is time to baby proof the house



Here is a video of her trying to crawl...

8 is Great!

Sweet baby is 8 months!

At 8 months, Maura:

-can almost crawl, she is so close! she gets up on her hands and knees, sways, then goes back to her belly
-says Mama pretty well, but I'm not entirely sure she knows what she is saying
-LOVES music! Tries to sing along.
-Waves bye, bye
-Loves her baths, and hates getting dressed afterwards
-Loves to jump
-Sleeps 11 hours at night

WE LOVE THIS GIRL!!!
