Sneak Peek

Just a few things we've been doing lately to get ready for Harper's Western Birthday Party.

One of my favorite pictures ever of her!

This pic will be on the back of the invite

This invite is what started it all.

Can't wait to show you all of the details of the party.  We still have a few weeks till we have it (May 5th) but I will take lots of pictures for you.  Can't believe she's already going to be 1.  How the time flies!

Pictures

Love this girl!

Happy Valentine's Day

And again!
She's so silly!

Keeps finding cords these days and putting them in her mouth...so I have to be better about putting them away.

She was not a happy camper

So we gave her a balloon

And she somewhat got better

Such a cute smile!

All ready for church.

Love her.

Always has my phone

She loves brushing her teeth.

And showing off all those teeth! She has 6!!!

Zoo

Josh had Monday off for New Year's Day and so we headed off to the Austin Zoo with Harper. We took her new wagon (If Josh were here, he'd correct me by saying Radio Flyer All-Terrain Wagon) and stuck the bumbo in it with a few blankets and she was all set. It really worked out perfectly.

All ready to see the animals!
Looking at a peacock!
Alpaca!
Feeding a goat
We watched this lion play with her ball. It was quite entertaining.
Watching the lion pace back and forth.

She's a Longhorn fan.

Christmas in Utah

This year, we spent Christmas in Roosevelt, Utah with Josh's family. We had a great time spending time with family. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Us with Grandma and Grandpa Liddell (Harper's Great Grandparents)

Harper is opening up the gift from the grandparents. They got her a book of the Christmas story.

Here we are in our new pajamas. It's tradition in our family to open up a gift on Christmas Eve, which just happens to always be pajamas.

Here's Harper opening up her first gift on Christmas morning. She's pretty excited.

Here's her toys from Grandma and Grandpa.

Trying out her new toy.

Josh's sister Jill is a massage therapist. She was giving Josh a massage and Harper decided she should help. :)

On our way home we had a whole row to ourself on the airplane. So I got the window seat, Harper got the middle seat, and Josh got the aisle seat. And she sat like this the entire way home...ok...not really. But she would sit like this for about 5 minute increments before we had to change positions or toys or something. :)

We had a great Christmas and a fun time with the family. It's always nice to get a break from the real world.

Now onto "pinning" patterns for skirts for me to make with my new sewing machine! Sew excited! :)

BeachBody Challenge

So, I have been quite lazy since, well, me and Josh got married...but especially since I got pregnant/had Harper. It is time to change my habits. Starting December 5th (yes, I'm procrastinating it a week) I will be starting the BeachBody Challenge. Kind of excited about it. I will be documenting my progress here weekly. And will (possibly) be posting pictures...depends on how embarrassing they are. But I do promise, at the end of the 60 days, to post both before and after pictures. Shouldn't be so embarrassing once I look semi-decent at the end. Wish me luck. And need lots of encouragement. The more comments on these posts, the more I will want to do it. Thanks!

5 months

Harper turned 5 months old on May 1st. She is almost able to sit up now without falling over...but still has a little work to do. :) She is so happy and so fun! I can't imagine my life without her.

She's so cute...

me, not so much...
