Christmas time & Kyle's wedding

The day after finals ended for fall semester, Darren's younger brother Kyle got married. We flew out to Arkansas right after our finals and made it just in time for Kyle and Whitney's wedding. The wedding was short and sweet (2 hours flat start to finish, including dinner!) and it was a "deja vu" weekend to be back where we spent 4 months of our lives earlier in the year. The bride and groom looked beautiful and we were happy to be there for their special day.

The wedding was the 19th, and the next week was Christmas. We decided to just stay home at our new place in Utah for the entire Christmas break, of course with the exception of the wedding weekend. It's the first time we haven't been back to California during our break. We miss my family, but it was nice to have our first Christmas with Lila in our very own house. Poor Lila was teething on Christmas, so we didn't get too many pictures of her in good spirits. We did manage to get lots of sleep though, which I'm sure will change in the years to come!

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children. I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
