Big Girl

The doc said that we can start giving Maeli rice cereal! I was pretty excited but Maeli wasn't. She cant quite figure out how to get it down yet and it makes it even harder that she hates the stuff. She was making all sorts of faces and it was pretty funny! She has been getting better but still doesnt seem to get any down. She also likes to grab the spoon so we just give her one to hold so that she doenst want the one that i am trying to feed her with. She is pretty cute though with her face all messy!!

Stamps and Cards

My friend Emiley got me hooked on stamping and card making! She brought me to a card making thing and I have made a few of my own since then too! She is also very into stamps and i have picked up on that as well! I am doing the bridal shower for my best friend since first grade and so i saw this as an opportunity to have fun and get creative with my card making skills :) Well i got so hooked on making the cards for that, that i started to learn how to make some more! I took some pictures of the cards that i have made both with Emiley and on my own! I am very proud of myself! Oh and stamping is very addicting i have discovered. I got some stamps for the cards and now i just wanna stamp everything because it is so much fun!!!

one last note... You HAVE to check out the video at the bottom of my spinner card! I was so impressed that i could figure this one out! its SWEET!!!

This is the inside of Heathers Bridal Shower invitations. I just wanted to show off my stamping :)

This one is the outside of the Bridal Shower invitation... i am gonna borrow Emileys cricut to put the words Bridal Shower on the outside still. and that is a shower curtain over the tub! cute ha??

This is the AWESOME spinner card that i made! Look at the video below to see how it works! i was pretty proud of myself!!

Video of the spinner card! its pretty cool!!

Update on our family!

I haven't posted anything for a while so i thought that i would put some stuff up here for the Grandparents :) Maeli has been growing lots and getting big. she is now 4 months only! We can hardly believe how fast time is going. We have a ton of pictures of her so i will try to only put the best ones up so there aren't too many :) And there is a video down below too so be sure to check that out! She has been laughing lots and its so cute that we have to share it with you!!

We havent had too much going on... but always seem to be busy. Mike is super busy with school and work so Maeli and i do a lot together. My best friend Heather is getting married so I have offered to help out with that since I dont do a whole lot other than play with Maeli. Im super excited to work on some suff for her. Mike works most weekends too and its so hard for us to get home now. But time is still flying on by and it wont be long till we are moving back home. Just 5 More months about... Maybe a little more. We are so excited to get out of Pocatello and get a real job! Well here are some pictures! Hope you enjoy!

Maeli got her ears pierced! Daddy got tired of people calling her a boy. She looks adorable with them though!

I colored my hair so Maeli and I had to take some pictures so I could show off the new hair color. its much darker than i have ever had but i like it a lot!

We got a pair of John Deer boots as a baby shower gift. They were so cute, so i had to make a little pink John Deer dress to match them. It turned out pretty cute and it look great with the boots! We are gonna get her next pictures taken with this outfit!

We also found this tiger Halloween costume and had to get it. My mom will be upset that we got a tiger suit.... since she is a die hard Vale Viking :)..... BUT We thought that it was cute and perfect for bringing her to the ISU Bengal games! She can be their little mascot! Maeli loved getting dressed up! We had to add a little ribbon to make her look like a girl tiger though.

Maeli is starting to learn how to use her hands. She is always trying to hold her own bottle. she is not very good at it yet and sometimes drops it but its still cute!

She has also discovered her toes!

Maeli loves to spend time with her daddy when she can. Since he is such a great daddy, he goes to school and has 18 credit and works 30+ hrs a week! We dont get to see him that often so when we do we love the time with him! We are so thankful for him and so proud of him for working this hard for us. Maeli loves it when he is home and she can play with him! She is quite the daddy's girl!

Distracting her daddy from doing homework.

She learned to roll over about a month ago and she loves to lay on her tummy and look up at us. its adorable for sure!






And here is the video. She loves to play with her toes so we were playing with her and she loved it! Its pretty cute!
