Crazy Eater!

A few weeks ago, Lily had a wonderful dinner, and this is what came of it... He was happy, but VERY dirty and sticky! We couldn't help but take a few pics of the meal.

LIV'N SXINNEY!

So I've been really trying to live healthy and lose weight the past 6 weeks! I've lost 14 lbs, and 20 inches! I have lost five inches around my stomach alone! It makes me so excited! These pants that I'm wearing in the picture used to be tight on me, and now, well I can't wear them without a belt or else they fall off. It's so exciting! I'm LOVING how I feel! I have so much energy and just feel good all the time! I can allow myself to cheat and eat a cookie or something once and a while, but for the most part, I don't even crave sweets. I want fruit or a healthy choice! This truly is the easiest thing I have ever done!

The Best Mothers Day EVER!

I think I have the very best husband in the WORLD! Today for mother's day, I was woken up by Todd walking into the bedroom with a tray of food. He put it on my bed-side table and said, "DON'T wake up yet!" I laid there pretending to sleep then I heard him come in with Lily and then said "Happy Mother's Day!" We all had breakfast in bed today. It was fabulous! He then changed every stinky diaper today, which I was really happy about! He also made lunch for me making sure I didn't lift a finger. I definitely didn't mind for the most part. When we got home from dinner at Todd's mom's house we put Lily to bed and then Todd banished me to the bathroom so he could prepare for my big gift... I was rather curious what he was doing. He came back into the bathroom and blindfolded me. He then took me into our bedroom and made me lay down on the floor on a towel. He put a lei around my neck and I heard the sound of waves hitting a beach. Soon I was able to take my blindfold off and he took me to the "beach". We even had a fishing net! I had been talking about how I wanted to go to a beach and just relax so instead, he brought it to me! I received two dozen roses one from Todd and the other from Lily. I also go two cards from them. In Todd's was money and in Lily's was her cereal puffs. I thought it was cute! Todd also gave me a Willowtree Plaque that I can hang up on my wall. I was so happy because I LOVE the Willowtree figurines and the plaque is of a mother and father with their arms around two children. It made me happy. Thanks Todd for such a fantastic Mother's Day! I love you so much!

First Week of Summer!

Say What?! Mom and Dad are out of school!
May 7th, my mom and me went to Tuacahn and saw Brian Regan. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! He moves A LOT during his act. It was so hard to get a good pic of him just because he was BLURRY! Hehe. It was a good time! It was our mother's day gift to my mom. I hope she had fun!
This is Lily on the swing at the park near our apartment. She was being so cute. I was in the swing next to her and she apparently thought that was pretty funny. Todd had Friday off so we just kind of enjoyed ourselves with going on a walk and taking Lily to the park. She loves the swings. I took her down the big slide but she thought that was pretty scary so we decided to stay away from those for a little while. Then on saturday we took her swimming for the first time! It was so fun! I taught her how to splash the water and Todd got mad because she kept splashing Todd. Hehe. I'm a good teacher! It has been a very fun week, especially since no homework was involved!

We Did It!

Institute Graduation
SUU Graduation (We have better pictures, they're just on another camera)

We did it! This past weekend we graduated from both institute and SUU. Friday night was the institute graduation. We gave the prayers for the event, so we're kind of a big deal. Just kidding! It was exciting that we were able to do that. Saturday was the most amazing day. We were absolutely exhausted because thursday night we had gone to the midnight showing of the new X-Men movie, and we hadn't quite caught up on our sleep yet. We woke up at 6:30 and eventually made it over to the school by 8:00. At nine, we were at the big convocation of the graduation. President Thomas S. Monson was the speaker. It was amazing to sit that close to the prophet and to listen to him and his powerful words. He is such a wise man! It was cool to listen to him talking about something that you don't often hear a prophet talk about. He was very motivational and it was definitely a highlight of my life. Later at our separate graduation, the main speaker was 104 years old. Yes that's right, 104 years old. It was the best graduation speach I have ever heard! He basically stood up, said when life gets you down, just laugh. And then he asked us to all practice laughing. And then he sat down. Perfect length! ;) It's nice to be done! It's weird to think that I'll never have to do my own homework ever again. I probably will, because I plan on going to get my masters, but for now, it's nice to not worry about school!

AHHHHHHHHH

What a crazy week! Next week is the week of AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! It is the last week of classes, which means, it sucks! Everything is due, projects need to be finished, presentations need to be polished, and all the while, I'm still a mom, wife, working part-time, and trying to find jobs for Todd. I really worry about next week and all that I'm going to be doing. And as if I didn't think I was going to be busy enough, I decided I'm going to be going to a conference for Liv Sxinney in Vegas. (Which I'm completely stoked for!) I hope I make it! I have to present a project that I've been working on with a group all semester long at a scholarship day. We don't really know what to do with our data, and we've run tests but we don't know what they mean. Our professor left for the week last week, so I'm hoping he has time to answer questions for us! I'm really nervous! Along with that, I have two other papers I need to complete along with reading two more chapters and make sure Lily is washed, fed, and happy. Just this past week I felt like I was being the awful mother because I forgot to feed her lunch for two days! I feel so swamped and I just want to be done! Luckily, I only have one final and it's on tuesday of finals week! Hopefully I can really enjoy myself when I go to Vegas!

Busy Busy Week!

Our cool Easter Eggs
Lily in her sweet sunglasses! She's stylin!
She actually smiled for the picture! I was so happy! This is her in her Easter dress and basket!
She was laughing at Todd, they were playing peek-a-boo. It's adorable!
This was me and Todd on his birthday, yeah I know my glasses look funny! It was his birthday on thursday, we had a little get together at our apartment, it was fun. He got a new Wii game and a new computer. I thought he did pretty good! Lily was already in bed when the party started, but she wished her dad a happy birthday! We love you Todd, even though you are old now! hehe

Our First Night Away

This past weekend, we spent our first night away from Lily since she was born. It was a much needed break. Don't get me wrong, I love Lily. It was definitely nice to just concentrate on us and our relationship. My parents took Lily Friday night while Todd and I traveled to SLC and went to conference. It was my first time ever going to conference, and it was so wonderful! We definitely missed Lily a lot though! As nice as it was to be away for a night, it was so fun to come home and hold her and enjoy her that much more. We were kind of slackers and didn't take any pictures, sorry! Todd has been applying for some jobs. Most of them are in SLC and I am REALLY hoping and praying that he'll get hired at one of them. One is an internship working for the church, that would be the BEST job ever! Lets just hope we won't be on welfare anytime soon! Actually that would probably the the LAST thing we do!

Lovin my Liv Sxinney!

I know I've talked to a lot of you about the product I'm taking called Liv Sxinney, but for those of you I haven't, IT'S AWESOME! I have been taking it for two weeks and as of last night I had lost 7 inches and as far as I know 6 lbs. I haven't even changed anything I am doing. I feel so good! I've just recently started selling it as well. If any of you are interested, go ahead and check out my Liv Sxinney website, www.zxoomers.com/christiefisher. Let me know what you think or if you're intersted! It's amazing!

SIX MONTHS NO WAY!

This is Lily with some of her favorite toys to play with!
Close up with her favorite binki

Lily is 6 months old today... CRAZY! I can't believe she's already been apart of our family for 6 whole months. It seems like she just got here. She loves to eat, sleep, and play. Her favorite toy is one that makes lots of noise. We have a baby cell phone and she loves the music it plays. Her jumper is not her favorite, but she's ok in it for a little while. She loves to eat anything really. She still hasn't rolled over completely by herself or sit up quite steadily yet. I think she is capable of rolling over, but she hates being on her stomach. He talks all the time, especially when she's mad. I like to think that she's trying to tell us what to do.

Lately, I've been having dreams about being pregnant again and that freaks me out a bit... I hope nothing comes of it yet! Maybe in another 6 months.

She's growing up WAY too fast!

We are officially on solids! She ate a whole thing of squash yesterday and she's doing so much better with the spoon. I'm excited about that, just not the diapers that follow... But yesterday I decided I would see how she did with a sippy. They say not to start til 6 months, but she's only a couple weeks away from that so I thought I would try it just for once and see what I had ahead of me. She LOVED it! She got mad when I took it away from her. So at least I don't need to worry about her being stuck on a bottle for too long. She's growing up and it's fun to watch her progress, but at the same time I miss just being able to cuddle with her and have her be content with just sitting. Oh well!

Sitting up!

She's getting better at sitting up
This was her a few seconds later

Our New Place

This is Lily's room... we're happy she has her own room!
This is a bad angle on our room, but this is only half of the size. And yes... that is a closet that is the length of the room. It makes me happy! Our bedroom is rather large is so wonderful compared to every other place we have ever lived!
Our kitchen, it's kind of small but it works. You miss the best part, the sound of the dishwasher cleaning my dishes! Woot!
Our dinning room! Yes we finally have a dinning room too!
Our front room! It's just the right size!

We are LOVING our new place. It's finally almost completely decorated. We still have some pictures we want to hang up of Lily in the Bathroom. We just need to figure out HOW we're going to get that done. Oh and the Bathroom is good and big too. The whole apartment is handicap accessible. So that means that is big and spacious. The doors are large and the hall is wide too. It's wonderful!

Our Awesome Weekend!

This past weekend, my niece and nephew, Shayla and Parker, were baptized! We were so excited for them and so proud of the choices they have made! It was definitely a very special experience and they were both just awesome examples to their families and everyone around! Congrats you guys!

On a side note, we were hanging out at my brother's house and my other nephew, "Bubba", who turned four today was playing with me and Lily. She started to drool a lot and Bubba said, "Oh no, she's dripping!" I laughed so hard!

Candids

So yeah, sorry I've been so crappy at posting lately. Life has been SUPER crazy. Here are some recent pictures that we've taken lately. Sorry that the one pic is sideways. I didn't realize that until I uploaded it, and then I was too lazy to change it. Lily is officially five months old and getting super crazy. We started feeding her cereal. For the most part she's doing well but it's not her favorite. She has been laughing a lot more, hopefully I can figure out how to get a video from our camera to here. She's fully adjusted to having both mom and dad around a lot of the time and she has also learned how to scream. That I'm not a huge fan of. Todd and I are both way busy at school and work and are hoping to make it through the next two months with out going absolutely crazy. Yeah life has been busy and it's been great!

Professional Pictures!

We finally got some pictures of Lily taken! She was so cute because she had just woken up from a nap. She got really tired of it pretty quickly though. Hopefully we can stay up on our game now and get regular pictures of her now. I'm excited to finally have super cute pics to hang up in our home now!

WE'VE MOVED!

Well we officially live in a nice apartment and Lily has her own room! Life is so good! I also found out when we signed the papers, that where we live has a fitness center with an elliptical included, so we're going to be saving some extra money! Woo hoo! Once we get completely moved in I'll show you the new place. There are still things here and there that we need to clean up. And we don't have internet yet at the new place, so that may make it a little longer as well!

Yup we're moving again

Ok, so people think we're crazy, but we're moving... yet again! This makes 4 times in our marriage, yeah we've been married for 2 1/2 years. Don't worry about it. Anyway we found a great place and we're SUPER excited to move there. It's a two bedroom (FINALLY!) and it has a dishwasher, dinning room, washer and dryer, patio, and lots of storage space. It's in an apartment complex, but in the complex there is a swimming pool, playground, and basketball hoop! We're pretty much stoked! Plus we have a few other friends that have moved there recently and they love it, so that's a pretty good indication that this place is great! ANYWAY! We're going to be moving on Valentines day, so because of that, Todd took me out last night. It was so great. My great friend Emma watched Lily so we could have some time to ourselves. We went out to dinner, and got buy one get one free which I was happy about. Then we went someplace else and got dessert. That's basically all our date consisted of, but it was still so fun. Todd gave me a rose and a box of choclates, yes I know, original, but it was still way cute. We enjoyed each others company and just had a great time. When we got home, Lily had woken up and was crying, so I calmed her down and then Emma, Jake, and Todd and I played some Wii. We played dodgeball for a little while but then we had just gotten the game Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and we played that. I have to get used to that game! Anyway the moral of the story is, we had a great night last night and we're excited to be moving into a GREAT place in a week! Woo hoo!

4 MONTHS?!?!

Lily was hanging out in Todd's work chair she now owns the joint! hehe
She is getting SO close to rolling over we're trying to encourage her. She likes to sit up a lot better though.
She actually smiled for the camera! While she is playing with toys, she has finally she can play with those!
She was talking to me, and Todd got a quick one!

Today she is four months and I can't believe it! She's so much fun and we love her a lot. We don't like to share sometimes, but its ok. Hopefully we can start cereal soon and keep advancing what an awesome baby she is!

P.S. President Thomas S. Monson is going to be speaking at our graduation from SUU and we're stoked! You are all invited it's Saturday May 2nd!
