Happy Father's Day & Graduation

So this Father's Day we were very busy. We got up and Tyler opened his father's day card and a present from Lizette, which was Planet Earth on DVD. We made breakfast and went to sacrament. After Sacrament we left and drove to Santa Babara (about a 50 minute drive without traffic) for Tyler's Graduation. We had to be there 2 hours early for Tyler to get his cap and gown and to line up. In the meantime I tried to get some seats, boy is that hard with a baby and the baby stroller. I was trying to get a seat when people were leaving the graduation that just took place. I was fighting thru the crowd. Luckily, Tyler's friend Demis (who was working on his PHD) was there to help me. Right before the ceremony began, Tyler's parents came. The ceremony took a little over two hours. Tyler's parents left after his name was called, because they were afraid of hitting a lot of traffic. The ceremony took so long because UCSB does all the Masters and PHD from all the different colleges (example engineering, music, education, etc) in one ceremony. To call all the Master's students, it took at the most half an hour. But for the PHD they call the student's name, what college they got there degree in and who is going to hood them and then they shake hands or hug. That took the longest. So after the ceremony we took some pictures of Tyler and Lizette. We asked someone to take a picture of our family, but when I went to download the photos there were no pictures (how sad).
The funniest part of everything was that Tyler's parents left more than an hour before us and it took them 2 and a half hours to get home. But it only took Tyler and me a little under an hour and a half. Tyler knew tons of short cuts, from driving up to Santa Barbara for two years. Tyler's mom looked kind of mad that we were home 10 minutes after they walked thru the door.
I am very proud of my Tyler. He is a wonderful husband and father and I am very happy that we are an eternal family. Thank you Tyler for all that you do for our family. You have always been way cooler than me (Yeah right, no one is going to believe that, because I am so bangorang! - you get the joke I know you do.) LOVE YOU TYLER.

My Two Diaper Bags

So I have to write about my two diaper bags. I love both of my diaper bags but for different reasons. The one on the left is for when I go somewhere quick: like the store, or to run some errands, etc. I like it because it looks like a regular purse. But it comes with a changing bag and has pockets all in the inside. So I don't have to carry such a big bag when I am only going to be gone for a couple of hours. The second one is for when I will be somewhere longer than a couple of hours, or if I drop Lizette off with someone. It fits a lot more things. I also keep special things like my nursing cover in there as well. Not to mention that they are both super cute.
The question is: Am I completely crazy for having two diaper bags?

Baby Blessing

Here are some pictures of Lizette in her baby blessing dress that Auntie Doris made for her. Lizette got blessed on June 10th. Lizette had lots of friends and family come to see her on her special day.







































We also had a lunch with family and some close friends.















Lizette's friends Milana and Chloe came to the baby blessing as well.

Really Cheap Like Daddy

Here is a disclaimer. I am froogle. I clip coupons and buy mostly everything on sale. (IE Bought some baby products from the store that came to $35.00 but only paid $5.00 due to coupons and sales)But I will save up money to purchase something nice. But Tyler is CHEAP. He has made statements in the past that he doesn't want to buy our kids toys because they don't really play with them and he didn't get any toys growing up and he turned out just fine. For example, he had a limited amount of legos and instead of asking for more for christmas he would take the legs off of the lego men and pretend that they were small lego (leg) men.



So, lately Tyler bought a toilet off of Craig's List for $20 instead of asking our landlord for a new one. I felt really ghetto for Tyler going to somebody's house and buying their toilet. I understand we have lived in apartments and houses where the toilets were used before we rented the place, but buying a used toilet from someone seems funny. Especially when we could have asked the landlord for a new one. Lately, Lizette has only been playing with her burp cloth. She likes to put it in her mouth and coo. Even though she has plenty of baby toys to play with she prefers the burp cloth. It's like she knows that the burp cloth was really cheap! I have a feeling she is going to be cheap just like her daddy.

I EAT PEOPLE

She has claimed two lives already. Look at that face. She is not fooling anyone.

The Big 02 & SHOTS

Lizette got her shots on Tuesday. It was really sad to see them give her the shots. They are not gentle. It looks like they jab them in her legs really hard. She went to sleep five minutes later and was really upset after her two hour nap. I don't blame her for being upset there are two HUGE bruises on her chubby little legs. Lizette is now 12 pounds 7 ounces and a little shy of 24 inches. She definitely doesn't look like an infant anymore. My little baby is already growing up! Here are a lot of pictures of our baby. Can you tell my new hobby is taking tons of picture of Lizette!










THE BIG 02 - 2 Months that is.
This last Sunday was Lizette's 2 Month Birthday. Boy, time does really fly by quickly. Lizette and parents are now SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT. For the past week and a half Lizette has been sleeping through the night. This is making Tyler and I very happy. She is also cooing a lot more.
Notice Tyler and Lizette are kind of wearing matching shirts - they have the same thing printed on them. Also the lovely blanket I made for Tyler for when he holds Lizette. It's girly with a hint of Manliness. There is also a picture of Lizette with Auntie Doris - who has just lost 100 pounds! We are so proud of her! Keep up the good work.


























Lizette got some really cute Mary Jane socks from her Grandpa and Grandma. She also makes this really cute "Whatchoo talkin' about Willis?" face.








Here are some pictures of Lizette smiling for Tyler and I. She is such the little charmer.

"MASTER T"

So it is official Tyler got his Master's Degree Diploma in the mail. I can't believe that he now has his Master's Degree. It just seems like yesterday we moved from Provo to Camarillo. These past two years have gone by so quickly, and now Tyler is all grown up with a "REAL" job and we have an adorable baby. Here are some pictures of Tyler and his diploma - He is now asking everyone to call him Master T because he has is master's degree. He was thinking about getting his PHD but Dr. T doesn't sound as cool as Master T. WHAT A DORK! BUT I do love him and I am proud of his accomplishment.

WEIRD CONVERSATION

Tyler had a very weird conversation with someone. We are going to say that this person is "JANE" to protect their identity. This is how it went:

Jane: Did you know that so-and-so is pregnant.

Tyler: No, that is great. Does she know what she is having?

Jane: Nope, she is fresh out of the bed.

Tyler: Thanks. (AND THEN SILENCE BECAUSE THAT WAS AWKWARD)

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION

Every time I see this clip from Malcolm in the Middle. I think of Cristin Lassen. I remember when she was really into Dance, Dance Revolution aka DDR. I even think she wanted to put a dance off together when we lived in Wymount. I would always joke with her that I wanted DDR at my baby shower, needless to say that never happened. So here is a tribute to Cristin and her old obsession with DDR.

Lizette & Friends

So it has been a while since I have post any new pictures of Lizette. We have a couple of busy weeks. I can't recall what I have done, but I know they were busy. Here are some pictures of Lizette & her new friends.










Here are some picture of Lizette and Milana Stolworthy. Milana was born on March 29 (two days after Lizette) and was 6lb 8 oz and 20 inches. It was fun to see the two little girls together - even though Lizette doesn't look so little next to Milana. (These pictures were taken when Lizette was 5 weeks old)














Here are a couple of pictures of Lizette & Catherine. Catherine came from Canada to visit Auntie Doris for her tea party. Catherine is Aunt Doris' best friend. Lizette enjoyed Catherine holding her. (Lizette is 5 weeks when pictures were taken)










Here are some pictures of Lizette. The picture on the right is Lizette falling asleep during Tummy Time.










Lizette likes hangin' it with her bossom friend Chloe Stalker. Chloe is showing Lizette her jazz hands while Lizette tries some Russian dance moves, "HEY." (Lizette was 6 weeks and Chloe is 7 months when picture was taken)










Picture of Lizette and Chloe with their Aunt Holly. Picture of Lizette and Uncle Drew just chilling.










Pictures of Lizette and Great Bedstemor (Bedstemor means Grandma in Danish) on Mother's day.

CINCO DE MAYO MADNESS

Tyler and I woke up and noticed that Cinco Claus came to our house and left Lizette a Cinco De Mayo present. Cinco Claus left her a six pack of IBC Root beer. She woke up before us and drank all the root beer while playing HALO 2. Needless to say that she is grounded for a year, since she didn't wake up Daddy to play with her.

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

What did Cinco Claus bring you for Cinco De Mayo?
