Where's Lucy?

K so this picture is from when we were in Arizona but I forgot to put it in the post with all of the other pictures. I've mentioned before that Lucy is a very active sleeper and loves to sleep on her knees and tummy. Well, while we were in Arizona, she didn't have her crib so she was all over the room at night. One morning, this is how I found her. Yes, that is the bed. Yes, her head is under the bed. And yes, she is still asleep. I went in to go check on her and I had to run and get my camera! I couldn't believe it! We were all laughing so hard!

tUtu bAbY

So in my Easter post, I mentioned that I had made a tutu for Lucy while I was in Arizona. Here it is!!

I Love It!!
Again with the camera face...
(Don't mind the mess behind her...)
What do ya think? I've discovered a new found love for being crafty and making all sorts of accessories for little girls. These tutu's , hair bows/clips, along with some other things. And I love doing it! So much fun!

CALLING ALL MOMS!!!!!

******Disclaimer- Detailed talk of severe diarrhea******

HELP!!!!! Ok, so here's the deal. Lucy got sick on Sunday and since then has had TERRIBLE diarrhea. I'm talking literal explosions multiple times a days. The kind where all I can do is throw her in the tub and hose her off. And I'm SOO done! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might help her "regulate" She's on soy formula and I've been giving her the B.R.A.T (bannanas, rice, apples, toast) diet, but nothing is working. Anytime she eats something, an explosion comes shortly after. I just need some advice!! I am seriously on the verge of tears all day! I just don't know what to do for her. Luckily she's been so good and so happy and I am so grateful for that. Thank you for any input ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arizona Easter Weekend

This past weekend, we were able to go down to Arizona with my brother and his wife and my mom for Easter. We left Wednesday after work and drove all night and got in at 3 AM. It was so nice to be able to just get away and take a break. These pictures are kind of out of order, but oh well!

This is Easter morning. We left to drive home right after the Easter egg hunt so I don't have any pictures of Lucy in her Easter dress. I'll post some later.

Lucy lovin' her eggs!

Finding her basket! This is her new "camera" face. She is such a poser!

Haha! Jeremy (my brother) had his birthday on Thursday and my aunt made this amazing cake for him!! So funny!
We were able to go to the cemetery were my grandpa Litchfield is buried on one of the days we were there. It was really interesting going because although that is where his body is, he wasn't there. We all knew that. It was a good reminder of the reason for Easter.

I think this is a pretty cool picture. All of the people in this picture are named after my Grandma. Her name is Lola Jean Litchfield. My mom is Terri Jean, and then my cousin is Kali Jean, and then my little Lucy Jean. Amazing women!

John and Lucy with Grandpa
On Saturday, we went to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch. It brought back so many memories. My Dad used to work for them and own the franchise in Utah. So going there to eat and play was so much fun. The kids loved it. And seriously, it's the best pizza EVER!! I really wish they would open them back up here in Utah.

These are our very good family friends, Bill and Kathy Pollard. There are like a second family to me. I call them mom and dad. Bill was diagnosed last year with MS and is doing very well. It's been hard for him because he was always so active and a construction foreman, and now he can;t work. But he is such a good sport! He has such an amazing testimony and is such an inspiration. I love you guys!


Papa Bill and Lucy
I know that this post was really long and full of pictures, but we had a very eventful weekend! Everything was perfect except for the fact that on Friday, I woke up SOOO sick. I was in and out of the bathroom all day. Not so fun. I'm still recovering but feeling much better!
I'll have to post it later, but I made an adorable little tutu for Lucy while I was in Arizona. So cute! You'll love it! Ok, well I think this post is long enough, so i'm gonna sign off:)

Curls and Cake

This past Saturday we had my whole family over for the 1st Annual Theme Night. We all decided that we would get together once a month for a theme night of sorts. It was way fun. This time it was our turn to be the hosts. The theme was Irish/St. Patrick's. We had Shepherds Pie, Corned Beef and potatoes and bottled beverages haha. Then we watched the movie Waking Ned Divine, which is way funny by the way! And I made this cake. You can tell from the picture before I frosted it that it's a shamrock lol. I dyed the cake batter green so the whole thing would be green. Not bad for a last minute decision right?



I also discovered a new hairstyle for Lucy! Curly! It's so dang cute! She has so much hair and it has a natural wave/curl to it so I wanted to try making it curly to see what would happen. Well it worked and it's adorable. I love it!
My 2 favorite people in the whole world!!
