A very eventful weekend...

So this past weekend we had some good times and some bad times...first a couple of my cute pregnant friends and I went to the baby expo, it ended up being a lot of fun (we wrote everything down in detail to go home and make ourselves!) Ya, typical Utah moms...

Trying out the baby sling - that was the biggest hit at the show

The bellies!

This was the ONE and ONLY time she sat in her stroller...to eat. I cannot believe she's old enough to throw a fit and kick her legs and arch her back until she starts to fall out the bottom!

Wow what a diva.

Then we went to the Blaze game down at the Delta - oops I mean Energy Solutions Center (I don't think I'll ever get the nhang of that one!) Brooke and Jordan came along and it was pretty fun, especially the beginning when they had the players run out...there were flames that went like 50 feet into the air and crazy lights and loud music and Taryn didn't even freak out...she just watched in amazment. But the worst part of the night was losing monkitty (which we pronounce munk-itty) Ya, like usual we were in a hurry to get there on time and we parked at the Gateway so as we rushed over I threw monkitty under my arm and the next thing I knew it was gone :( I'm sure I'm the one that's the most upset over this loss, but Taryn cried the entire ride home because she had nothing to hold and cuddle to fall asleep. But the good news is my little sister Amy gave her a really cute puppy she got up in midway at the Homestead. I'm sure Taryn doesn't even know the difference. I actually found one of these Kitty's at the Ebay store online but it was $20 bucks! Crazy...so now we need a name for this cute little puppy...

Where's my Monkitty??? :(

Robbie found Taryn like this - she had crawled into her little saucer, what a goof!

And I just laugh everytime I look at this face...

I love having a girl!

I loved dressing up my American Girl doll when I was little and now I love having my very own real baby girl to dress up in so many cute things! How cute is she in her baby blue easter dress?!

Sorry your head got chopped off Robbie!

Aunt Lisa and Amy fight over who gets to hold Taryn first...

Always scoochin' around

Her new favorite game - getting dragged in circles on the carpet

Skinny minnie...I love the bloomers!

HAPPY EASTER

I am no photographer, but I took some fun pictures of Taryn with these easter eggs that she loves...so I thought I'd share a few of my favs!

Another cousin for Taryn!!!

Now that Brooke and Jordan told his family they are expecting I can put this post up again for everyone to enjoy!!

We had a big family get together for Nonnie, Margo, and Janice's birthdays at Gecko's restaurant...there was yummy mexican food, kids crying, present opening, delicious cake that everyone was too full for, followed by the most exciting part of the night - the annoncement of Brooke's pregnancy!! She and Jordan are expecting a little one to join the growing Wilson family this September and we cannot wait! We are so excited for them...YAY YAY YAY!!!

Wrigley Patrick Ross

The arrival of Wrigley finally came! March 2nd 8:22 p.m. at a whopping 7 pounds 7 ounces, 20 and a half inches long. He is so adorable and I am excited to finally be an aunt! (Taryn is also happy to have a cousin!)

My cute sister-in-law Carrie - way to go Mommy!!!

The so called "favorite" aunt Brooke

What a sweetie!!

Oh Deer!

Last week I got a knock on the door and it was two ladies out on a walk. They said "A bunch of deer just ran across the street and into your backyard!" So I looked out my window and there they were all just standing around. I hurried for my camera and ran outside to get a picture and they had already moved further back. Five total...see if you can spot them!
Note: The weird shed behind them isn't our property but it creeps me out!!! Especially if you watch Lost, its like Jacob's little shack! CREEPY

Monkitty

Let me explain - so Taryn is attached, like seriously LOVES this...animal...she stumbled upon it herself at Old Navy when my sister and I were shopping. All of the sudden I noticed she was holding this stuffed animal in her stroller and I was like where did you get that??? Then I realized she had picked it up from a basket of toys that was the exact same height as she was in the stroller, WOW she's starting this now? I'm in trouble for the future when we go shopping! Anyway, so then as we tried on clothes and walked around some more she had totally soaked the price tag with slobber and as the lady rang us up she thought it was the most disgusting thing! What the heck lady, she's a little baby...c'mon...seriously! I said sorry for the slobber mess, and she replied with a smug, "well I'm not touching that, you can try to ring it up yourself!" Amy and I looked at each other like is she for real??? The bar code was destroyed so then she picked it up with her fingertips like it was the nastiest poopy diaper and found the numbers on the tag to type in...$.99 cents - then she tossed it over by our bags and that was that! Fast forward a month later and this thing has been slobbered on WAY more than imagined! We could not figure out if it was a kitty or a monkey or some creature we've missed on the discovery channel, so this past Sunday we decided to name it "Monkitty" - half monkey, half kitty! Taryn adores this little thing, she sleeps with it, cuddles it in her car seat, and twists it's fur between her little bitty fingers. Dang I should have gone back and bought 10 more!

Snoozing with monkitty
