This Doesn't Make Sense....

Derek and I have been wondering why it is soooo easy to stay in bed in the morning, yet sooooo hard to GO to bed at night?? Liliana just sleeps whenever she wants. Usually all night tho. THAT is awesome.

We got our phone numbers changed today to Virginia numbers. We're pretty excited.

We had a great weekend. We went to the ward pancake breakfast on saturday morning and then went to get some pictures printed out to put in our frames. We FINALLY put some in our key rack but we felt like "grandpa" deserved an honorary place in one of our frames since he was part of our family for the last (almost) 3 years. Someday our kids might ask who he is... that's gonna be awkward. But I think it is a rite of passage as a parent to do things that your kids don't get and don't think are funny. We shall see. On sunday we had dinner with Brett and Donia Warren. Leave it to me to finally make a friend and her name would be Donia. Yes, its like Dawn-ya. Awkward? A little.

That's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry I'm not putting any pictures on here but I just don't have the patience to wait for them to upload tonight. Maybe I will tomorrow if I have some time.

Peace out homefrys!

EDIT:
I TOTALLY forgot something HUGE!!!!

I heard A MINUTE AND TWENTY-TWO SECONDS of a song from AFI's new album (due out in September) and I almost cried b/c it was so fantastically awesome. I mean... whoa. Life is sooooooo good when new music comes out to make my insides all squishy with glee.

Shots and Stuff...

We went to see the doc today for Liliana's 4 month appointment. She is well. She weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces, and is 24 inches long. In other words, she's huge. Lol. She also has a giant head. This doctor doesn't give me the percentiles... so I'll have to do some research on just how big her head is. The nurse said "Wow, your head is BIG!" I was insulted. Liliana just smiled. I just feel like I'm the only one who gets to comment on the size of her head. Ok, Derek too. But THE REST OF YOU better be nice to my baby doll. You're only allowed to tell her things like how beautiful she is, how much you love her, etc. etc. Hahaha. Don't mess with this mama bear, you will not win. She had to get two shots. They did them both at the same time. For once, Liliana actually cried. She had these huge elephant tears and it was sad. She pouted all the way home. In fact, I'll upload a picture of her still pouting when she was sleeping after we got home.

Let's see... what else is happening....

Oh, I have a friend or two!! Hahaha. I'm pretty stoked. I go to playgroup every week even tho my baby doesn't really play. She laughs and is a bad influence on other babies, but that's the extent of her "playing". I feel like it is important for her to be socialized too. Like a puppy. Hahaha. ANYWAYS, this past week I went to hang out with a friend and her daughters. It was sooo cute to see her girls doting over Liliana and it was also sooo nice to have someone to talk to that I actually have a lot in common with. I'm also making more friends at church.

Derek is enjoying his job, I think. He doesn't have anything bad to say about it. He's still amazed at how it feels to be treated like an adult and a person, and not just the bottom of the food chain like he's been at other jobs. He gets off early every Friday, so it seems like we have 3 day weekends every week! Someday we're going to take advantage of that and go to the beach... but it seems to always be sunny during the week and rainy on weekends.

Um... in other news, looks like there may be a time sometime in August that I will be able to go see Harry Potter. Lol. *sigh* That's just what happens when you have a baby. I refuse to be one of those people that takes a baby to a movie that isn't for kids. I'm all for taking kids to like... the latest Disney movie. Those are made for them (and people like me who wouldn't mind being a kid forever) but I don't think most movies are really child-appropriate. Even if I know Liliana would sleep the whole time anyway, think of all the germs in the theater!!! GROSS!!! Also, not that anyone really knows what I'm talking about, but Derek is the best husband in the world and bought me the latest album from one of my favorite bands, mewithoutYou. It's called "It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright" and I will let you know just how awesome it is when it gets here. (On a side note, I'm SO not impressed with the lack of an indie record store around here. There's no support of independent artists around our nation's capital. What's up with that, Obama?? It's crap, I tell you, crap.) Also, Davey Havok is no longer the hottest man on the planet. After 3 years and lots of fun, Derek has moved up to the top spot. And I know he realizes the severe penalty for growing gross scruffaluffagus on his face like Davey did.

Peace out homefrys!

I CAN Cook!!!

Fajitas!! Woo hoo!

A delicious combination of steak, orange bell pepper and onion.

It was delicious.

That's all.

Peace out homefrys!

Liliana Laughing

hope this works....

cutest baby in the world.

that's all.

Moving Takes A Lot Of Work!!

This blog thing is SO difficult sometimes!!! I had to have some serious help from Derek. Good thing one of us knows computer crap. (Given my use of the word "crap" and the obviousness of the first sentence of this post, we're gonna say its Derek with the computer knowledge...)

ANYWAY, here are some pics. The family pic is from before we moved from Utah and we were trying to get the baby to take a decent bobble-head pic with us. Someday I'm going to put together a whole album dedicated to the millions of bobble-head pictures of me and Derek. I call the self portrait pics "bobble-head" pics, fyi. Let's see... Liliana loves Tigger. She talks to him ALL the time. It is soooo cute! The one with her in the hat is just funny I think. She looks like a hoodlum... or like its a mug shot. Haha. After her behavior today, it is quite fitting. And of course, the last one is me trying to catch a smile. There were like 30 before I got this one.

So we're almost all the way moved in finally. Tomorrow will be the last of it. I got my car on Sunday and that made it feel like everything is official. Derek started his job today and is pretty sure he's going to like it. We got to go to church finally (I was really missing it!!) and it was so odd to have everyone talking to us and offering help and stuff. I think I might actually make a friend this time!!

That's really all I have time for right now...

Peace out homefrys!!

What A Cutie!

This is just a random pic I took of Liliana on my phone last night. She was in a really good mood. Don't mind the mess in the background... its a slow moving in process when we have this cute little girl distracting us all the time!!

Peace out homefrys!
