Girl friends!

Londyn and I have spent some time with our girl friends lately-

And when girls get together you never know what crazy things might happen.

Londyn and Jacey were so cute together. They are almost 2 months apart but they both scream and laugh at each other. Londyn growls too? Jacey is a doll and we love to play with her.

Steve and Tasha brought some lunch over and the girls each got a pickle! I was so proud!

 

Mama had her fun too!

Every year my good friend Jac from High School comes to visit. I always look forward to seeing her! We took off on some snowshoes up in the mtns. It was a fun adventure.

It was so fun to have Jac come visit for a day. We ate vegetarian food, saw Beauty and the Beast and played games. Jac got to meet Londyn and Londyn took her in her room and showed her all of her shoes. Girls love shoes!

Winter Wonderland

My lil eskimo

Cody was shoveling snow and I took Londyn out for a minute to say hi. She loved being outside!

She cried and cried when we came in. Can't wait til summer! We got a ton of snow this week!

She Walks (behind the princess car)!

This would be a great time for my video to upload!

But since I have had many failures (or maybe a major lack of patience...)

Here are more pictures!

My Parents came this weekend and they taught Londyn to walk.

Not unsupported, but this is new for sure.

I don't want her to grow up!

 On the Move!

She points her finger

She plays in her jumper

She eats pancakes!

She crawls everywhere (and gets stuck too)

So fun to see her grow!

Happy V-Day!

These were my Valentines for my Sunday School class and the gals I visit teach. I think they turned out pretty cute!

And Happy Valentines Day- From our hearts to yours! <3

My Europe Book- Feb 14, 2011

During naptime today I finally finished a book I have been working on forever- and thanks to a V-day special got it printed and shipped for less than $10- worth the wait I guess. Enjoy!

10 Months Old!

I am a little bit late on Londyns 10 mo. birthday-She is officially "outside longer than inside" as my friend Christy says. I can't believe she is almost 1! She loved to crawl around with no clothes on- I guess she has been bundled all winter so she hasn't seen much of her toes even! Londyn is quite the mover these days. She is constantly on a mission to search and destory. It is a lot harder to take pictures when she can move so much! I got her undressed and was trying to take some pics in the bedroom but I didn't love them so we set up downstairs today. I saw this little hat and fell in love!

Just for fun

Picture time...again!

Londyn LOVES fridge magnets! She is a little young for letters but we thought we could get an early start if she was so interested in them. Oh and my friend Tara got her this adorable outfit for Christmas- it is SO cute on her.

I took these awhile back, they weren't the greatest pictures but they are too cute not to post! Enjoy!

"I like to look for Rainbows"

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain

and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.

I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,

and I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.

I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

 What a doll- she looked amazing in that pretty white dress(I found for a STEAL). The primary baptism song was stuck in my head all day yesterday! Kailyn got baptized! She is one cute girl! I was so happy to be able to be in Idaho for her baptism. I have realized more and more lately I don't know what I would do without my family!

Kailey was the star of the show. She is so beautiful! She was so sweet and cute. I love letting Londyn get together with her cousins. She absolutely loves them!! What good examples they are (and they love to do anything to help care for her).

Brandan and Steph's family. So hard to believe they are all so grown up! Kyle 11, Matty 10 and Kailey 8!

The beautiful 4 generation. I noticed looking at this picture that they all have great hair!

After the baptism we went home to change and Londyn was halfway dressed when she spotted Windy, Jordans choc lab. She LOVES dogs and couldn't get enough of her.

Then to Wingers for lunch. Food in Rexburg is limited :o)

Jordan was brave and brought his new gf Jana to the lunch. She spent pretty much the rest of the weekend with us and she is a very fun girl.

We asked to see the County Clerks Office--

The grand tour. My Mom is over 2 offices, learning her job and is busy already. We are so proud!

My Mom found my Grandma and Grandpa Hinckley's marriage license.

We also had an awesome Superbowl party, or AWESOME FOOD while the superbowl was on. Glad my bootcamp class is over, I kept a food diary and I couldn't have written as fast as I ate.

Change is in the air...

Happy DAY!

After much prayer, I am overjoyed to tell everyone that Cody and I are switching back to our divine roles- Me as Mom (and PART TIME Pharmacist) and Cody as Dad and the provider for our family. We have had an interesting 6 mo trying to do it all backwards and while we are incredibly grateful that we were able to make it that way, we are both ready for a change. Cody is now working for a restoration company out of Las Vegas doing estimates and will be traveling some, and working from home some. I will be working 2 days a week and some Saturdays at Costco! That is perfect for me! Yay! Codys parents are so great to help us juggle Londyn in between our crazy schedules. We are glad they don't get sick of her.
Cody has been busy the last 6 mo preparing for Law School. He also has been able to be home with Londyn and she has loved every minute of it. He is a GREAT Dad and him and Londyn have a great bond. I have been working full time at Costco and sometimes at the hospital. I am very grateful for my education but not so grateful for my student loans :o) We have each learned a greater appreciation for each other and this has been a challenging but a unifying experience for us. My friends have commented on Codys change in attitude toward stay at home Moms and I have talked to men in my ward and empathized with them about how hard it is to work and be away from your family all day, then to have church, sports, friends outside of work when you just want to be home. We both feel this experience has strengthened us so much and we laugh about waiting 5 years to have a baby then having the whole world crash down upon us.  I guess you are never really ready :o)
We have had tremendous support from you all and we are so thankful for our friends and families. Hopefully it will allow us to spend more time with you!
