Gettin' back to business...

Well, life has been kind of surreal because we were gone for quite some time. I went back to good ol' SG for one whole month! Life has been so fun with Alli and she is such a sweet heart. Christmas was awesome with family and friends, we were able to bless Alli in my parents ward while we were home and Brian did such a great job-it was such a sweet and spiritual experience for us. Alli got to ride a horse for her first time (and mine in over a year!) I really appreciate my family for taking such good care of us while we were home, having babysitters 24/7 was really nice. Here are a few things that we did while we were gone...

Alli on the horse-I can tell she is already going to love horses just like her mom:)

My dad made sure we had her try it out more than once just to get it in her system

Had a friend party, we forgot to get a pic. with everyone it was fun to chat-it was great to catch up and lots of us are mommy's now and oh how life has changed :)

Alli's blessing, this dress is actually her cousin Hadlee's it was gorgeous-thanks Lynds for letting us use it, kinda fun to pass it and keep it in the fam...


All of us wore the same basic color scheme to Alli's blessing and no, we didn't plan it so we had to get a pic it was pretty funny...left to right are my pretty sweet sister in-laws Brooke, me, Brenda, Nat

Just Alli chillin'


Alli was asleep for most of her Christmas, but she decided to open her eyes at the very end, she was shocked(if you can't tell by her facial expression) at all the presents her Grams and Grandpa Snow gave her-they really spoiled her...

Brian is getting back into his own style of parenting, j/k. Alli always seems to find a way to make a mess on him whether it be spit up, pee or poo, he just loves it, ha ha!



Alli was small at one time he he he, she is now officially #13.8 & 22.75 in. This is at her "2 month" check up although she is a little late going in at 10 weeks of age. She is one chunky monkey, the Dr. took one look at her thighs and said "Well, now she looks healthy doesn't she." I think he was slightly shocked since babies are supposed to be double their weight at 6 months not at almost 3 months. I will say that I am a milk cow and Alli is showing it!

Alli 3 weeks old or so


Alli now at 2 months...
