UPDATE

Well since I am sitting here bored at work I figured I would update my blog even though I have no pictures!


Things are going really good for Tyler and I. Tyler is still at Valley Services doing their grounds and he really enjoys it, we just wish it paid more, but what do ya do!


I am still working for the dental office and actually it is okay too. It has it moments, but I work with one of my best friends, Amy, and we have a really good time.


As for Miss, Atley she is getting so big! She is 10 months, which I totally can't believe! She has been such a blessing in our lives, We may not go out much, but we really just enjoy being home with her, how could you not when she is so cute and fun to be with. She is crawling all over the place and getting into things. Here is a list of things she is doing:


*Crawling- that is trouble in and of itself


* She will stand up and walk around the furniture, every once in awhile she gets brave and will let go, she actually has really good balance and won't fall for a couple seconds!


* She is learning NO! She will start to crawl toward something and you say "Atley, NO NO", and she looks at you and crawls faster.



* She loves to dance she will stand up to things and bounce and sometimes even"sing". She will do this in the tub, which she loves as well, and it is so cute with her cute little bum shaking!



*Atley still has no teeth, but that does not stop her from eating anything! She loves food even though it doesn't show because she is so little. She loves Macaroni, Ravioli, pizza, cookies anything really. Baby food really doesn't appeal to her anymore!



*Atley is a belly sleeper. I was really worried when she first started this because of SIDS, but there is no stopping her she automatically rolls onto her belly when you put her to bed.



*Of course she is still a thumb sucker! I am not quite sure what to think or do about this, because it is so cute, but I am really worried to brake her of it!

* She shakes her head no when she is done eating or doesn't want something.

We are so glad we have her. The time is going by so fast she will be turning 1 next month so now my brain is in party mode and I am just trying to think where to do the big get together and get it all ready.
I will post pictures here soon!

Miniature Golfing

Tyler took a turn

Our fun neighbors invited us to go miniature golfing with them at Boondocks so we decided to go and figured the easiest thing to do with Atley would be to strap her in, then she is not getting passed around all night!
Well we get to Boondocks and get her all strapped in and waiting in line to start golfing, well what does she decide to do? She decides it is a great time to go potty. Hopefully this doesn't offend anybody, but she is pushing and pushing and I am like I will let her finish then change her. Well i couldn't wait long because poop started dripping onto the cement. So I am getting her all changed, luckily I had pajamas, but I only had one wipe! One wipe to clean the poop off of me, her and the carrier! It's a darn good thing I don't get to grossed out!
It turned out to be a good night and worked out great to be in her jammies because she zonked out while golfing. (Refer to the picture in the last post.)
We have so much fun with our neighbors and we are so lucky to have moved into such a great area and meet great people!

All Tuckered Out

Atley loved her bouncer and really it was the only way I could get anything done. I guess being my first I kind of spoiled her because she does and still loves to be held!




I needed to get the house clean so I started in the kitchen and she was loving and the next thing I know she is asleep!




She sleeps in some of the most awkward positions as you can see! I was going to show a couple others but she is sucking her thumb that is a whole other post and issue!!!





Bronx

My beautiful sister and her baby!

Miss. Atley and Bronx, she looks like a moose compared to him!
My sister Kelli had her baby 8 weeks early, she was supposed to have him on Aug 28th, but he couldn't wait so he came on July 5th. He was very healthy just little so he stayed in the hospital for about 4 weeks.
When Tyler I would go visit him we were always shocked how little he was because we would come home to our moose baby.
It was so fun to get Atley and him together because there was such a difference in size! I hope they will always be friends and close cousins, it is so nice because my sister lives like 5 minutes away so they will be able to grow up together!
In pictures to come you will see that Atley now is the little one, Bronx is definitely not a preemie anymore!




Demolition Derby

Image This is the demolition Derby! We go every year and have great time, we go to the one in Kamas, it is so much fun!
Image I think it was a shock for Tyler when we first got married because when I told him about going he thought it was very strange and kind of a red neck outing! When we got there for his first one he was hooked and now sees why it is a annual thing for us!

Image
This is McKall doing the YMCA she thought I was crazy!

Image



Image Here the cars about to hit!
This is why we camp by Kamas so we can make it to this, but this year we stayed at the cabin which works out well!
We always have such a great time this year we left Atley with my mom and aunts at the cabin. We learned our lesson because when McKall was Atleys age they took her and she cried the whole time. I think Atley is going be hanging out at camp for the next couple years while we go. It is so hard because you are so high up in the bleachers and it is so hard to get down, so she can stay at the campfire. The Demolition Derby this year was pretty good they flipped a couple of cars, which always makes for an eventful evening!
I am getting caught up and I will start doing more recent pictures of little Miss. Atley!

24th Camping- Kindof!

Image Every year we go camping over the 24th, this year was a little different. Since my parents don't have their boat anymore, but 4-wheelers instead we didn't want to camp at Rockport with out a boat. We couldn't find anywhere to camp close to Kamas so we stayed at my Aunt Pam and Uncle Bob's cabin. We have such a great time there and their cabin in beautiful, right on the river! It worked out great for us because with Atley I was a little nervous staying in a tent because she was only 3 months old, but we would have done it! We had so much fun we just hang out play scum and on the 24th we head into Kamas for the demolition derby, which we do every year! Those pictures are coming on the next post! Thanks Pam and Bob for letting us crash at your place.
Image Tyler and Atley enjoying the weather and outdoors!

Image
When Tyler and I were driving up and just about to onto the street where the cabin is we saw this big dark thing run across the street and Tyler said "That's a bear!" I didn't really believe him so we pulled over and looked and there was a bear cub running up the mountain. So Tyler yelled to get it to stop, I know we are really smart, and I took some pictures. My camera doesn't zoom in that far, but it really wasn't that far. It was really cool.

ImageAtley stayed all bundled up at night and looked so cute in her hats. She is all eyes!



Image
This is my Uncle Tracy, Aunt Pam and myself. We are the lucky ones who don't bend right and can't touch our toes. Even we I was dancing and pretty flexible I still could barley do it.
The things you do when you are camping, but we have such a wonderful time and I look forward to it every year!

Happy really late 4th

ImageHer cute dress and matching bow!







I am going to try my hardest to some what get caught up and touch on bigger events and then maybe I will be so good you will all know when she does the smaller cuter things in life!








So we will start with the 4th of July. My very talented mom decided to make all of the girl grandchildren, (poor Payton!) really cute dresses. McKall's and Atley's matched and Dannika had an older version of their cute dresses.








For the 4th every year and the 3rd we go to Granite High School for fireworks, that is where my parents went to school as well as my aunts and uncles. I was really nervous about taking Atley there since she was only 2 1/2 months. My plan was to get her to sleep before but she fought it and stayed up with all the noise and loved it! I wish I would have got a picture of her eyes. We have a great time and they actually do a really good job!!!








Then the next morning we make our way to the Murray Parade and then over to my moms to hang out. I love the 4th of July and I was really excited since I had Atley I could dress her up all festive!
