ELIZABETH IS ONE!

Friday was Elizabeth's First birthday!
Where has time gone it seems like just yesturday when I went to my check-up and they said "Head over to the hospital right now we have got to get this baby here. And so her sweet life began. She came on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 5:27 p.m. She weighed 5lbs. 10oz. She was 17 1/2 inches long. She was the 80th baby born in the American Fork Hospital that year. Her first year started out a little rough with a return to the hospital after only 19 days of life. She came down with rsv and had to be life flighted to primary children's in Salt Lake. She stayed there for 6 days. We brought her home on a snowy Sunday. It was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever had. To come home to so many loving and supportive friends. After her hospital stay I was a little perinoid to say the least. But we made it. She was also just a little spoiled Ok alot spoiled all I did all day was hold her. We had a fun summer. We played at the park a lot, went to a few family reunions and went swimming for the first time. She was a little slow at getting the crawling thing done but had no trouble getting the concept of eating solids. She love to eat. Just like her mom. To bad it isn't as cute when I have cellulite! At the end of the summer she got an awful case of hives. That was another long week, but again we made it and again she was a touch spoiled. In August I started babysitting her friend Bruce so she has had a permanent friend since then. She liked playing with her Texas friend, Sophi, during the Christmas break. She loved her doggie book that she got at Christmas from her sisters, but other than that she wasn't to interested. We learned from that and only got her animal stuff for her birthday. She was much happier. She loves dogs, books, food and talking. She has always been so easy, with the exception of the few sickness that she has had. Thank you to all those that came to her birthday to share that special day celebrating the life of our sweet Elizabeth.

Classic Christmas moment

We had a great Christmas this year thanks to all of our great friends and wonderful family. We loved hearing from old friends, playing with all friends and hanging out with family. For Christmas eve we just hung out together. We took Savannah, Kymbal and Elizabeth shopping for the gift that they give each other. Then we went out to lunch together. We basically had the place to ourselves. It was so fun we may have to keep it as a tradition. We got to spend lots of time playing and having fun with the Steed's our friends from Texas. But the funnest part was watching the girls have fun and be grateful for what they got. The classic moment however was Kymbal opening her present from Grandma Pam. We were all excited because we knew what it was, but you have to see Kymbal's reaction, it is truly classic.
