my baby is 9 months!!!

These passed 9 months have just flown by. 9 months is always a hard one for me. I feel like when you are pregnant those 9 months go so slow and then the baby is born and the next thing you know they are 9 months old!!

Slow down little Lu!

Lucy Jane...

she is my happiest and quietest baby yet! She just popped through her 9th tooth! Fastest teether as well. She loves to be outdoors, the bath, sleeping on her tummy, green beans, sweet potatoes, when dad throws her in the air and her back tickled. She claps! She also LOVES my hair and just wants to eat it!! She puts everything in her mouth, hates her carseat, giggles at her brothers and sister, pulls herself up on everything and will stand for a few seconds. She loves to push her walker toy around as well. She is still waking up to nurse between 5-6. Although im tired i really enjoy that time with her. The only time she snuggles with me and there are no other distractions!! 

Oh how we love our lu, lulu, little janers, janey, luce, beauty babe, sissy, lucy jane!!

She is a gem this little girl and I'm so blessed to be her mama!!

Baby Blessing.

Lucy Jane Cluff

Given a name and a blessing by her daddy on June 1,  2015

It was a special day and she has been such a joy in our lives. She wore Emma's blessing dress and also the same pretty bracelet. She looked so beautiful in her white dress and it was one of the greatest days since she joined our family. I love blessing day so much and nothing brings me more joy than my sweet babies.

 We did a little photo shoot a day or two before her blessing!

So grateful to all of our family and friends who were able to come and support Lucy's special day!

Baby's first Christmas!!

Family cabin trip with Cluffs.

On June 28th of 2015 my in-laws rented a really nice big cabin for all 35 of us. It was a little family reunion after Charlie retired from the fire department. The property was beautiful the weather was beautiful and we had a great time. The kids just played all day long with their cousins for 4 days straight. We played games, watched movies, played pool, guys went shooting, girls went shopping, ate yummy food and made memories that my kids will always cherish. So grateful for my in-laws! 

Nana and Papa with all 17 grandkids.

 Megan has a little turtle named Racer and all the kids thought he was pretty cool. Emma loved the turtle and was always asking to hold it! Now all m kids want a pet turtle. Doesn't seem like such a hard pet though. 

 I think Hunter and Emma will be my animal lovers!

 The cabin had this nice area with fake grass and we had brought up a bunch of toys for the kids to play with! It was so nice to sit out there with all my sis-in-laws and visit while the kids played!!

We checked out of the cabin on Saturday which was also the 4th o July! We had a super yummy lunch at Licanos and then Brandon and I checked into the Hampton Inn in Showlow. After getting settled we headed up to celebrated the 4th in Taylor at the big rodeo! Half of the Cluffs headed back home except for Charlie and Christy and their kids at home and Ryan, Steph, Chris, Leslie and us. It was rainy and chilly but despite the weather we all had a great time!! Nothing like a fun rodeo! 

So grateful for this country we live in and for all my rights and freedoms! And especially grateful for my family whom I get to share it with. I'm so blessed!! Happy 4th everyone!!

 (and happy bday baby sis)
