And she's off...

Mylee started crawling this last week, I can't believe how big she is getting. The time is going by way to fast. She has been really close to doing it the last couple of weeks and just couldn't quite figure it out. But the starting of this week she got the hang of it, and now is very quickly realizing that she can get into everything. It is amazing to me how fast they pick up on things, and how they gravitate to the things that they shouldn't get into. You would think that she would want to play with all the toys that she has, but I think those are the least interesting for her. She goes straight for all of tramps toys. Poor dog is beside himself, no privacy anymore and all of his toys get taken from him. I guess he will just have to get used to it because she loves him and she goes straight for him. He doesn't know what to do so he just kisses the top of her head it is so funny to watch. I've been trying to teach her to wave good-bye, which she is getting the hang of. And to also give kisses, she is so funny when she does it because she'll open up her mouth and lunge right into your face. I love it, what a sweetheart!! I truly feel like life could not be any better, I have never felt a more fulfilling calling in my life than to be a mom. That's why one of my favorite sayings is simple pleasures are life's treasures, because i am starting to realize more and more that it is the simple things in life that matter most. Waking up to a sweet smile from your baby, getting a phone call or text from your husband just telling you that he loves you, coming home to a clean house(thanks hon you do that a lot), making the ones you love laugh(there is nothing better than hearing Mylee giggle)etc. I guess I just feel very blessed in my life. I am so thankful for our little family, I am beginning to realize that this is where I find my greatest joy and always will.

Sweetheart Tag

Where did you first meet your sweetheart?
Seventh grade, we had mutual friends.

What do you remember most about him?
Of course at that age, what else I thought he was cute! Was anything else supposed to matter??

Who asked who out first?
Jesse asked me out, but at that age it meant to be boyfriend/girlfriend. Not to go on a date. Yes, we started definitely to young I was in eighth grade when Jesse asked me out.

What were your favorite things to do together?
At that age make-out of course. J/K Well not really, but we also liked hanging out with friends, going to the movies, going to dances, hanging out with family, and just being together.

When was your first kiss with you sweetheart?
eighth grade, we were at one of my friends house, and got interrupted by her dad!

When did you first realize that you loved him?
Starting off so young, I think your perception of love at that age is completely different then when you are older. So I may have thought that I loved Jesse, but I definitely realized how much I loved him the summer that I graduated from High School. It seemed like our relationship took a different turn that summer. And more important things seemed to matter.

Who said it(I love you)first?
I really don't remember.

How did he propose?
It was just a normal night we were getting ready to do the usual, we had rented a movie, made some popcorn, and were going to hang out on the couch. Jesse went and put the movie on and to my surprise it was not the movie we had rented. It was a video that he had made of friends and family of ours, and asked them what they liked about me or something that stood out to them about me. And then at the end he told me of the reasons why he loved me and what he liked the most about me and then when that was over he proposed. It was cute and thoughtful and I have to give him props because he did surprise me and sometimes that can be hard to do because I try to find the surprise out before it happens. Good job Hon!

What are the two things you remember most about you wedding day?
It was the happiest day of my life, it could not have been any more perfect. I remember being in the temple and feeling so much peace and happiness.(True happiness) I loved everything. It was our day and I never wanted it to end. And to top it off the wedding night was just as good!!

I tag Courtnie, Ali, and Anna. And anyone else that wants to!!

Funny faces

Mylee has just started this new smile where she scrunches her nose and eyes, it is so funny. We can't figure out where she has picked it up from because both Jesse and I don't do it unless we just don't realize that we are. She is at the cutest stage, and we are loving every minute of it.

Tramp and Mylee

Okay so if your not an animal lover or I should say dog lover then you may not be able to relate to this post. I have always been a animal lover and so when Jesse and I got married I always told him how much I wanted to get a dog, so that year which has now been three years ago Jesse surprised me with Tramp for my birthday. It was the best birthday present ever! And since then he has been my buddy, especially because Jesse is gone so much with school and work, I definitely got attached very quickly. When I got pregnant I would even tell Jesse in all seriousness "I don't know if I could love a baby has much has I love tramp", and he would just laugh at me. And yes just so you all know I love Mylee much more. But at the time I had never experienced the love of being a mom and so i just could not comprehend it.
It was so cute while i was pregnant I definitely think that he sensed it. He would always come and lay right on my belly, he loved it. And he also always loved to go and lay in Mylee's room especially when we got it put all together. I wondered if he thought it was his room. I worried how he would react to her when i finally had her. At first he was just really curious when we brought her home. And that first week I think he probably got the same amount of sleep that I got(which was not a lot) because when I would get up with her he would also and he wouldn't go back to sleep until I was back in bed. But he adapted really quick and he is a pretty good big brother. He is really cute with her, and Mylee loves him so much. She gets so excited to see him, anytime I call his name she is looking all over to find him. If she is asleep I usually don't have to worry about listening for her because as soon as she starts to wake up he is the first one to jump up and head right to her room. When she is on the floor playing with her toys he likes to get his and play right next to her. Every so often you will see him go over to her and give her kisses on her head and then just walk off, she always gets the biggest smiles. Its so cute to see them interact together. He has been the best dog in every way. I always tell Jesse if we ever get another dog there is no way they will ever be as good as Tramp.
