WINTER WEATHER

As we all know, there is some crazy weather going on in our great state of Arizona. I looked online and there is actually a Winter Storm Warning in effect until 4:00PM tomorrow. So far today it has rained, hailed, sleeted, been so windy I thought the house was gonna blow over, and it has been so dark I have had to turn on all the lights. I am so happy! I just love when it is like this. Well except for the fact that Lyla and I are FREEZING! Oh well, the desert needs the moisture. The Internet also said that it was supposed to snow here in Congress tonight, as well as tomorrow. Awesome! I will post some pic's I took this morning. Oh, and it is pouring right now as I type! How exciting!

LYLA IS FIVE MONTHS OLD!!!

Yesterday Lyla officially turned five months old. She is rolling over from back to front a ton! As I posted earlier, she has been eating cereal. She has about a tablespoon at dinner time. She seems to really like it. She is eating like a pro. She now weighs 15 pounds even, and she is 27 inches long. She is getting SOOOO big. Here is her five month picture.

CEREAL

Today Lyla had her first taste of baby cereal. Needless to say she didn't really know what to expect. I think she liked it though. It was so funny to watch her face when I gave her a bite. She only ate about ten bites or so, but it sure filled her up. I can't believe my little girl is already eating cereal. She is just growing up so fast. Tomorrow she will already be five months old. Today she also rolled over from her back to her front. So she has now officially rolled over both ways, but she isn't rolling all over the place yet. But I know she will be soon. Here are some pictures I took of her first bites of cereal. They are so funny!

HOW MANY SUIT CASES CAN YOU PACK IN A MINI-COOPER?

Today Brandi left for San Diego! She is finally going to have a place to put her things. It has been driving her crazy living out of a suitcase for two months. Originally we were going to follow Brandi to Cali with the rest of her stuff this weekend, but she decided to try and jam it all in and leave today. I was kind of skeptical about the idea, but she actually did it! She jammed four suitcases, a few boxes, her uniform bag, her backpack, and a bunch of pillows into her tiny tiny, TINY Mini-Cooper. I give her props for that. You go Bran! Anywho, she is safe and sound in San Diego with her buddy Janeen. Here are the pictures of her PACKED Mini!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME [AGAIN]

Yesterday the family and I celebrated my birthday and the Superbowl. We had a blast! We had hamburgers, coffee punch, and tiramisu made by me! I got a lovely card from the Christie's and Ethen drew me two AMAZING pictures! Brandi got me a 50$ Target gift card (which I spent on jewelry, thanks Bran), and some flowers. Even though the Cardinals didn't will the Superbowl, I still had a great party. I enjoyed watching the game and hanging out with family. Thank you to all who made my 17th so special. Here are some pictures for those of you who couldn't be there!
