I like this


these two...

A little clip of Lilah trying to talk to Har Har. 
Excuse the news in the background. 


Some throw back shots of them a month ago...



happy 5 months baby girl

I can't believe Lil is 5 months this week. She knows how to roll ALL over in every which direction. Blow bubbles back and forth with you (which is really cute). Laugh, but not quite giggle. Pull off her headbands and suck her thumb. Touch the pictures in her book, the POP out books are here very favorite. Eat on a spoon, and drink out of mommy's water bottle. She has to eat or drink whatever I'm having these days so all day long she stinks out her tongue for more water or tries to steal it from me. Its hysterical. She loves her little bouncer car, though her little legs are not quite long enough to touch the ground so we just roll her around with us and she loves it. She likes to grab Harley's rolls, which luckily he's okay with and gives everyone big slobbery kisses!





sleep deprived

I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was hilarious... for all the other mommies out there ::


hello spring

I just love spring, and even more than that I love when we are all together enjoying it. We really are cherishing our time with dad since school and work are so busy for him right now. We have loved strolling around City Creek with Lilah in her stroller and hanging out on the back deck to do homework and eat together. Dad has been cooking up a storm on the BBQ he got for fathers day last year, and I have been making way too many gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Lilah and I take adventures outside when it's warm enough, I can't wait till she's big enough to swing at the park. I couldn't be happier being able to spend all my days at home with her. I feel so blessed.

a little ice cream never hurt anyone...

After a few sad teary nights of teething I gave into some cold ice cream on that mouth of hers. Needless to say she LOVED it!


a perfect Easter


This year was more special as you can imagine with our little Lilah. It was so fun picking out her bla bla doll, little toys and treats Tys and I could eat for her first Easter basket. Even though I knew she didn't care about the basket yet, it was fun to imagine her playing with the new toys. 
    Easter morning was beautiful! Tysen and I were out on the back porch eating some breakfast and Patti showed up with a little Easter surprise. It was so fun to have parents again on Easter that take care of you! ha we got the best of both worlds, took care of our babe and were taken care of :).  Tysen got these purple and pink hip dress shoes from Nordstrom's and I got a matching purple cardigan and beautiful white blouse. We also got candy I've been snacking on ever since and Lilah got a darling bracelet, jammies and freshly picked mocs!(cutest little handmade shoes) Later we enjoyed one of Patti's delicious dinners that was so festive with the Clements and some family in town. It was a perfect first Easter together.
    My family was in the Philippines picking up my brother Tanner  from his mission (which was REALLY exciting for us) so we celebrated later with them. This last Saturday we attended my grandma & grandpa Moeller's annual money egg hunt. Such a fun tradition to run crazy after money eggs hoping to get 100 dollar bills. We all get a bit competitive. I may or may not have brought flats to run and been first in line - a girl needs to shop, right? well maybe not... but a sure like to! We came out very lucky and both got some splurging moola to come home with. Aside from the wins, it was so great to see family and catch up with everyone. My mom's side is the mormon "Big Fat Greek Wedding" group. They're loud, crazy, funny and my grandpa comes around with silver (ASAP family co) everywhere. It's a riot. Both my grandparents have been hospitalized in the last few months so it really was a blessing to be able to have it this year. I sure love and adore them.

   Here are a few photos from Easter











the big four

Four months was a big deal around here... that meant FOOD! At her 4 month apt. the doctor told us it was time to start her on solids and give her tastes of everything we could. She has proven herself to be allergic to quite a few things already and studies show (now days;)) the best thing is to introduce the foods earlier. I was caught by surprise, but excited to get started. We have given her peas, sweet potatoes, pears and banana baby food all of which she kinda liked. Then little bits and pieces of our food. I eat oatmeal every morning and she sticks out her tongue and leans forward in her little bumbo for more. It's so cute, I really love our quiet mornings together. The only food she's really been ecstatic about is chocolate ice cream - go figure! I'll post that video later, it's hysterical.

Here are a few of her four month photos I took...








Goodbye home, welcome Salt Lake City!

As many of our close friends and family know we moved the end February from our "Little Green House". This house Tysen and I bought right before we got married in spring of 2011. We had so many wonderful memories and we started to build a life together in that home. We LOVED our home so much but for some reason it just didn't quite feel right there anymore. We both got the prompting it was time for us to move and one thing led to the next (quickly) and with in a month we picked up and moved to Salt Lake City. Tysen is working on a project for work in Salt Lake, and going to an MBA program just down the road at Westminster. As scary as it was - it's been perfect. We get to see him a lot more and are loving the new surroundings of Salt Lake. 

Here are a few photos for keepsake of our "Little Green House"

Lilah's 1st nursery

When I look back at these photos it makes me a little emotional. I have so many fond memories searching for the perfect bedding and paint colors with Tys and my mom. I couldn't wait for her to arrive in that room and it's probably the room I miss the most. Though time was short there, we had so many special memories. I can't wait to do another room for her someday.







Catch up time :: Our Little Lilah is born

Well hello again! I have been majorly slacking on blogging. Last year I was overloaded with work (fortunately) and I didn't have much extra time. Since then our little bundle of joy was born on November 22, 2012. Little Lilah Grace weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 18" long. Since the moment she came into our lives she has filled our home with smiles and happiness. She's the best thing that ever happened to us. From a quick delivery to a smiley baby on a daily basis everything has been quite easy and nothing but a pleasure with this baby girl of ours.

Here are a few a few of Lilah's new born photos (at 1 month) her talented aunt Cassi took at Christmas.
