Karli And Her Daddy

Karli and I bring Jeremy to school some mornings, but before we go out she has to get all bundled up...she thinks the mittens are frusterating because she can't play with things very easily and they taste fuzzy. But she loves her daddy and she loves when she gets to see him in the morning before he goes. Jeremy is busy busy busy right now with finishing school and doing the final draft of his senior thesis, and he also has two jobs at BYU one job for Maket Source-HP AND he is also tutoring a few people in all of his "free time." These pictures are after Jeremy has gotten home from work and Karli is just SO happy to have him there. (If you can't tell she looks just a LITTLE bit like her daddy)

This video gets you a little taste of how cute Karli really is, AND it shows her rolling over at the end (which she still does A LOT)

Lacey's Wedding

Well, after Christmas we went to Lacey's wedding which involved more traveling- blah, but was still really fun to be able to see her and Mark all lovey dovey and happy AND we got to play with lots of family which was awesome! Here are some pictures from the wedding and reception. Congratulations Lacey and Mark! (Lacey has REALLY nice wedding pictures on her blog check them out)


Karli and Madalyn had a fun time playing before the wedding, they are going to be great friends!


Karli and her mommy are so excited for Aunt Lacey


The typical Utah winter weather made Karli confused and a little bewildered at first (since we don't usually let her hang out in the snow) but she quickly discovered that snow is pretty and all, but she doesn't like it very much when it hits her face! Mommy's little girl.


Lacey and her sisters at the reception.


The Schoonmaker family at Lacey's reception it was beautiful and very fun.

Christmas

We have had several complaints on the lack of new postings lately because of Jeremy's busy schedule finishing up his Senior Thesis, applying for graduate schools and internships, and of course going to and FINISHING school. So I have decided to try and pick the slack-my posts will probably not be on the same level as Jeremy's but at least there will be pictures and some explanations. In the last post Karli had just started laughing... Well she is growing like crazy, since September she has continued to laugh A LOT and she smiles and plays (something Jeremy is very happy about) and she has also started rolling... and rolling... and rolling all day long. I will turn my back for just a second and she will be half way across the room! She learns so much everyday and she is almost sitting all by herself. I will try to get some videos of her new tricks for the next post. For now enjoy these pictures that were taken this Christmas while we at Jeremy's parents house in Colorado Springs. We had a GREAT Christmas!!!



Karli and her Aunt Nicki are having fun on Christmas morning


Karli is playing with her new toys with her Daddy (who is in his M&M Christmas Pajamas)



Karli got the cutest Santa outfit which she went caroling in-she got tired and we went home near the end, but for the time that we were out she did a very good job of being shown off by her daddy AND her Grandparents



Another Christmas outfit-our daughter is mega CUTE

Karli Laughed!

Karli laughed for the first time tonight. She kept laughing and we got a video of it. I hope that this makes you a little happy, it made me happy!

Baby Blessing

One-Year Anniversary

So I was not horribly smart this year, and did not take any pictures on our anniversary. It boggles the mind how I could forget to do such a thing, but there it is. So, with the lack of photographic evidence you will simply have to trust my memory to accurately portray the events of the night to you. Risky? I think so...(Now would be a good time to mention that I am writing this at 6AM. No, I am not an early riser, I am still awake, taking astronomical data. Why you may ask? I don't know, but if this post is wicked weird, I will blame it on lack of sleep rather than horrible literary ability on my part.)

August 15, 2008 is a day that will go down in my family history as the day that Kelly and I got married. It has been one year since we tied the knot (one year, I joked with Kelly, since I have had any fun). In the last year we have successfully prodcued a gorgeous baby (see post below,) moved into a new apartment, argued and debated about our future, and had an all-around pretty awesome time.

To commemorate the event, we had a date. On the advice of a co-worker we had dinner at a restaurant called "Four Seasons", a chinese Hot Pot,where you cook your food in a pot of boiling broth right on your table. It was quite the experience, the owners and only employees are a couple who I am sure only know enough english to explain the food. It was amazing,we are definately planning on going back in the future.

We had not decided whether we were ready to take the step of leaving Karli alone with a babysitter for a few hours in order to properly celebrate the occasion, but at the last minute, Kelly's cousin Drew was able to step in and babysit for us. So, we used some free movie tickets Kelly had and saw "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" a decent movie about people throwing around magic spells. The overall aura and feeling of the movie was only interrupted by Kelly's constant checking to see if Drew had called and if anything was wrong with Karli. Oh, my cute wife, she is so funny, she missed Karli so much!

All in all, it was a perfect anniversary and I was glad that I have spent the last year with my beautiful wife!

Karli is 5 weeks old!

Hello again everyone! Our little girl has reached the ripe old age of 5 weeks old. We haven't put up pictures for a while, and I thought that I would no longer deprive all of you of seeing the most beautiful girl in the world! Here we have a picture of Karli sleeping, one of her kissing her mother, one of her and her aunt Lacey, and another of her sleeping in a pretty dress. I also included a video. She likes to sleep on mom or dad, but sometimes she wants to get a bit better vantage point. Here she is hiking up Mt. Mommy to get a peek at the surrounding area.
