Part 2 as promised

Ivy has grown up so much since we last saw the blogging world! She no longer baths like this: But more like this: (And I know this is probably boring and of no consequence to most of you, but the little things about Ivy are what we love the most) Some of Ivy's favorite friends are Lauryl: Grandma Tolman: Abuelita Walker: And of course, Lillian Meyet:

Part 3 as not promised, but implied...

She's also reading books: Her hair is growing sooo long: She's rolling all over the place: She's eating real food: And she's getting cuter by the day!

And finally...part 4

And in other news...meaning other than Ivy news... We finally got Rick off to North Carolina on his mission: We finally got Lauryl and Tyler married! :) We've been taking a lot of family walks lately and enjoying the beautiful fall weather! Ivy and I pass the time a lot by walking to the bank, the post office, and the store...all within about 10 blocks from our house. Halloween was so much fun! The holidays really take on a different feeling when you have kids. After how much fun Halloween was, we are really looking forward to the rest of the holidays! I want everyone to know that we had no idea Lauryl and Tyler were dressing up for Halloween like a tree and a tree-hugger when we picked out our costumes! It was a complete coincidence! (ask her...) :) Ivy also had her 6 month birthday! She's getting so big! This is a gift from her friend Lilly for her 6 month birthday: (just the balloon and card) Time has sure gone fast!

Before I continue...

Before I continue with my update I just have to shout for joy that tonight at midnight I will be soaking in the love that is Edward and enjoying two hours in a world that I love!!! Go Team Edward!

HOLD ONTO YOUR SPATS!

First of all, hold on to your spats folks, because I have so mauch to catch up on! I am so sorry that it's been so long since I have posted. I can honestly tell you however, that I have still been anxiously engaged in good causes. Blogging has been on the back burner for a while - but no more! I hate scrapbooking and I am awful at keeping a journal, so this is as close as it gets and I need to stay on top of it. (That was just a pep talk for me, please excuse that) Robbie and I have been busy with Church and clogging and Ivy has been growing up!!! (too fast for me) Anyway, won't bore you with the details of church callings and costumes and choreography and bills and couponing and Christmas and calendar crowd-age - I'll just show you some documentation of what we've been up to! :) I may need to do this in many different posts, so bare with me. Since I have last blogged, Ivy's motor skills have gone from this:

Ivy also went from making adorable coos and sighs to adorable noises like this:


She has also gone from falling asleep like this: to falling asleep on her own in her crib. **sniff sniff**
