cute baby

I know, I've gone post-crazy tonight but I couldn't call it a night without the latest pictures of Joslyn. Nothing to say really except that my baby is stinkin' cute.

Smiles for mom.

Buddha Belly! Finally!

hahaha... :)

New outfit.

With all the finger-sucking she's been doing, Justin and I were wondering if she could fit her whole fist in her mouth. Well, now we know.

Painting Pumpkins

Every year on the Sunday before Halloween, all Justin's family gets together to paint pumpkins. With so many little kids running around, it just isn't practical to carve them and besides, when you paint them you get to do fun pictures and all that. This year Justin did the painting and put together our Mr. Potatoe-head pumpkin. We have some good looking pumpkins!

Videos

I decided to try putting up a couple of videos to see how it works. The first is Josie giggling--too cute! She gets the hiccups whenever she giggles more than once. The second, I just thought was funny, so I had to post it.

Random Things

Now that I'm at home with the baby, I have all the spare time that I didn't have when I was going to work 8 hours a day. I went to the library yesterday, knowing that I have a list of books a mile long that I want to read. As I wandered around the library looking for books, I couldn't think of even one off my list. So I am compiling a list that I can print out and take with me to the library next time I go. I am ALWAYS looking for suggestions on books to read. The only kind I don't really enjoy are the sappy romances. So anything else, suggest away!

I'm also trying to think of inexpensive things to do with family/friends so that its not ALWAYS game night at my house or their house or whatever. I do enjoy game night, so new game ideas are welcome too.

Finally, exciting news! I have been trying really hard to keep in shape, since I got in pretty good shape right before I had Joslyn. And I am so excited to announce that I actually weigh LESS than it says on my driver's license! Hurray!

Photo Tag

My cousin DeAnna tagged me with this fun version of tag. You go into your photo albums/folders on your computer and take the fourth photo out of the fourth album and post it. My folder was called "Hawaii 2006". We went to my parents for Christmas the first year we were married, so it was really the end of 2005/beginning of 2006. I miss the flowers while I'm here on the mainland, so I usually load up my camera with pictures of them.

I was just reading my cousin's blog to see what she was talking about, probably the same way that you are doing on mine. Little did I know that just by reading I got tagged. So, in case you haven't put it together yet, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE TAGGED!!!! So go ahead and post the fourth picture from the fourth album on your computer. Happy Tagging! :)

time flies when you're having fun

My sister, Kelley, has been here for a week, already! I am SO glad that she's out here! It is so fun to have someone in my family live closer than California. Don't get me wrong, I love Justin's family, but I've always been very close with my family, so its been really hard to be so far away. Plus, Kelley was my partner in crime through those crazy childhood years. We used to do everything together. Its great to have her here! We went miniature golfing this weekend down in Ogden. Don't you think the golf course makes for great picture backdrops? Maybe we'll do family pictures there... :)





And no post of mine would be complete without some pictures of Joslyn. I know that's why you all read the blog anyways. I can't believe how fast she is growing! She's finally too tall for all her newborn clothes and almost wide enough for her 3 month stuff. Her head control is getting really good too. I love to watch her look around and soak everything up. It's like she's trying to memorize everything she sees. Everything she can get her hands onto goes right to her mouth. Anytime she grabs onto something, her mouth opens by reflex. She has discovered her toes and is furiously trying to find a way to get them into her mouth. So far, the easiest way is to use her body weight to her advantage and bend in half, but that requires Mom's help, since the balance isn't so good yet. She is so funny!
