Maybe I should make it a New Year's resolution...but then I would probably be even worse at it. Since my last post, we've had Nate and Josslyn's birthdays, Christmas, New Year's, a trip to Disneyland and McKynzie turning 9 months old. That's a lot of big things! Nathan always defers his birthdays to Josslyn, which http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-new-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-6924666571673399191Mon, 01 Dec 2014 17:57:00 +00002014-12-01T10:57:53.764-07:00I'm a little late on McKynzie's 7 months last week, but it was Thanksgiving so we're lucky I took pictures at all. She is a mover and a wiggler. She scoots on her tummy all over the place and is much quicker than you think. She is starting to try harder to get her tummy of the floor but she forgets to move her hands and so just falls on her face. But she is getting there. http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2014/12/mckynzie-7-months-and-thanksgiving.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-7106963369189281607Fri, 14 Nov 2014 17:49:00 +00002014-11-14T10:50:43.625-07:00 We went to Josslyn's dance class yesterday to see what she's been learning. It was really great to watch her and loved seeing how much fun she was having. Obviously this is where my money will go for the rest of my life, and I'm totally fine with it. Here are a few videos. Kind of long, but totally worth it.   We love http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2014/11/tiny-dancer_14.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-782707957283988887Tue, 04 Nov 2014 00:28:00 +00002014-11-03T17:28:37.153-07:00 McKynzie has turned 6 months! I can't believe she is half a year old! And like a good mom I totally forgot until the day after. Rock on. She weighed 16 lbs. 11 oz. and was 27 inches long at her appointment on the 29th. She is growing great! She is one of the happiest babies I know. We are starting to work on sleeping through the night. She really wants to eat http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2014/11/birthdays-and-halloween.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-7294041242905892084Fri, 17 Oct 2014 17:39:00 +00002014-10-17T11:41:29.714-06:00Last weekend was so busy and Josslyn had the time of her life. The USU Homecoming Parade was in the morning, and if there is two things Josslyn loves it's parades and the Aggies. Then we went to Boo at the Zoo at Willow Park. Josslyn got to wear her Elsa dress and was in Princess Heaven. Not only were there about 30 other Elsa's but many other princesses as well.

I won't show you a picture of me with that much sleep, because it's not near as cute. McKynzie is trying really hard to crawl this week. She can scoot a little bit and she yells hysterically while she does it. Seems like if she would quit yelling she'd have a whole lot more energy and focus to scoot across the floor, but I'm http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2014/10/sleeping_8.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-902119831135976112Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:52:00 +00002014-09-29T14:53:00.945-06:00 This is McKynzie at the hospital. Probably not even a day old. This is her going home outfit. Josslyn has a matching one that says Big Sister. This was way to small for her. But I made her wear it anyway. They were going to match dang it! My mom came to help for a bit and she was about 2 weeks old here. And entirely comfortable wherever.

But it was not to be. I didn't feel huge, but I was extremely uncomfortable and ready for the pregnancy to be over. We celebrated my birthday on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.

Currently we live in Logan.

Josslyn has been struggling sleeping. She seems super uncomfortable, we could hear her in her bed in the early morning hours just talking and singing and playing and just generally NOT sleeping. No matter how much we rocked her, gave her warm milk, read to her, she just http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2013/04/inspirational-story-of-day.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-1721211876371514079Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:50:00 +00002014-10-17T11:30:38.984-06:00This is a comparison picture.

Josslyn had her 15 month check-up the other day so I thought I would post an update on our little joy and post a few of our activities up here in Washington. Although admittedly...I sadly haven't taken many pictures. In fact I took out the camera the other day to take a picture and it was dead and I didn't even know it. So most of these pictures are from my phone, but still http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-happenings.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-6557325129991438123Fri, 21 Dec 2012 06:26:00 +00002014-10-17T11:27:19.558-06:00We had a wonderful time over the weekend of Nate and Josslyn's birthdays. We were able to go to Utah and see all our family and friends and it was so great to be able to celebrate Josslyn's birthday with everyone. She is so spoiled and I love it! She had a great time, got to spend LOTS of time with her cousins, which was her favorite part! On Wednesday the 12th (Nate's birthday) we flew to Utah http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2012/12/josslyns-birthday-and-trip-to-utah.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-9107613042868412511Thu, 01 Nov 2012 03:37:00 +00002014-10-17T11:20:55.569-06:00This was Josslyn's first Halloween! I will admit I always hated this holiday and you can read all about it here. And I'll admit I almost didn't want to do anything this year with Josslyn because she's so little. Last minute I decided we would do something and even more last minute I decided to make it. So Josslyn was Tinkerbell.

Since my last post a lot has happened to us! On August 22nd, my little brother Lance got married. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so glad I was there (even though I had the flu! and was trying real hard not to throw up the whole time!). I'm so happy for them!

She might have been a little unsure, but they kept feeding her things, so she thought that was fun.  We played outside. This girl loves to be outside. She especially loves to nap outside!  http://n8andvicki.blogspot.com/2012/07/summer-picture-overload_17.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534050766841728749.post-9190624554663584846Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:51:00 +00002014-10-17T10:57:21.864-06:00It's been a while, and we have a lot to update! I am a bit behind on the goings on around here, Josslyn and I both had a NASTY cold and are so happy to be over it! A few weeks ago was Josslyn's blessing, on March 4. I was SO happy to have so many family and friends there! Including my parents all the way from Maryland, they decided it was worth it and it totally was!

At her last check-up she weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. She is on the petite side, but following her growth chart perfectly. We sure love our skinny mini! She is learning how to hold things in her hands, like her binky and her toys. She loves to smile and talk and especially LOVES her bows!

Having a week old baby allows you to do nothing. It's pretty awesome. For Christmas we spent a lot of time with family and a lot of time at home with the baby and we loved it! Christmas Eve we spent at Nate's parents house with his side of the family, and baby Josslyn did NOT have a good time. I think it was just way too much excitement for her.

Last weekend we moved from Millville to Hyrum. Not the most wanted move, but the house we were renting in Millville got sold and the people that bought it kind of wanted to move in, so we didn't really have a choice. But now that we are moved in and a little more settled, I think it will be okay.

And it's.... A BABY! The baby already sits just like daddy with its hands behind its head and its legs crossed in front of its stomach. No matter WHAT that tech or I did we could NOT get the baby to move out of this scrunched up position. We'll try again in four weeks. So...keep on guessing!
