Admission granted!!!

We finally found out that DJ was formally accepted to the University of Texas Arlington! I am so proud of him. Our heads have been spinning ever since we found out! Our to do list of the things to get done is quite intimidating!! AHH! DJ will be flying to Texas this next week to do job and apartment searches and to just check out the area. While he is there I will be making a trip to Boise to visit my family one last time before we move. We are excited to be making this change in our lives!

Because I don't do posts without pics here are a few recent ones of our little MJ:





She is growing up so much, so fast. She talks all the time, I couldn't even begin to make a list of the words she says, but some of her favorites are: gross, nana, sami, fishy, bath, jeep, book, play, sippy, milk, juice, hide, color, cool, mouse, night night, backpack, noise, picture and peek-a-boo. She also loves to tell and hear secrets. She continues to be the light and laughter in our home.

Easter Weekend

For our Easter weekend we were able to have my Mom and Dad come for visit. We enjoyed every moment.
Here is MJ reading with Granddaddy:

Here is the egg I made especially for little MJ. She loves Mickey Mouse - or as she calls him "Moow Moow" :

She had a ton of fun searching for the eggs we hid in the house. We just kept re-hiding the same eggs, it kept her entertained for a while:

We were also able to go the the Living Planet Aquarium. Can I say WOW! What a great place, especially considering we live in Utah! If anyone hasn't gone, I strongly recommend it! Just don't go during Spring Break like we did.



Thanks for coming Nana and Granddaddy! MJ is still asking for you every hour.

Our little girl....

Last weekend my good friend Wendy had an open house for her new photo studio and she took a few pics of our little MJ.


Wendy does such a great job with her photography. Here is a link to her site: Vizion Photography
MJ is growing up so quick, it seems as if she really isn't our baby any more but our little girl.

A Most Wonderful Surprise

Last Saturday my greatest friend Rachel (A.K.A. Pacha) surprised us with a visit. (Ooooo how I love surprises) She is from St. George and was here for her work. She is pretty much the greatest person ever. Our family loves her dearly and we hope for another visit soon!

Our little MJ is growing and learning so much. Last week was her first time in nursery and she did great! She learns so many new words each day and we are constantly amazed at how smart and clever she is. For her 18 month check-up her percentages were still the same, 25% for height and weight and 95% for her head! :) So she better be smart with that big noggin! My favorite thing that she does right now is saying "dip dip." She loves dipping any food she has in anything and repeating "dip dip, dip dip." Seriously cute. I love being a mother to my sweet baby girl.
