Just Some Pictures!

These pictures are all a couple months old but I thought I should start somewhere. Desi loves to say "cheese" when we take her picture.

Desi wanting to help us paint our new house. She leaned against the wall to look out the window and ended up with paint on her tummy.
This girl LOVES water! We walked past the Gateway fountains and she wanted to play. Of course it didn't matter that she had clothes on, she just wanted to get wet!
My Mom kept this old truck my brothers used to play with and she thought it was just her size even though as you can see, it's not meant to be ridden.
Desi loves feeding herself especially chocolate! She took the lid off the pan and helped herself to some cake before I caught her.

Easter

This picture is from Easter 2009...And this one is from Easter 2010.
I just looked through some pictures from this last year and I can't stop crying. I don't like that my baby is now a little girl! I love the new things she can do and the personality that shines through but I miss that baby stage too! It's a good thing I'll have another soon.

Strawberry Jam

Last week, I found strawberries for a good deal and decided I wanted to learn how to make strawberry jam. I was surprised at how easy it was.
My Little Helper
Desi loves to put on her apron and help in the kitchen!
Pure sweetness! (Thanks Mom for the help!)

Poor Desi

Desi had a bad day two weeks ago! First, I had her ears pierced. I felt horrible because she cried but even worse, I think it was worth it! They are so cute! I had thought about it off and on and Tom actually really wanted me to do it. Weird, huh? Well, that night I went to Old Navy with Erin, Maggie and Desi. And being the carefree or should I say careless mother that I am, I let Desi stand in the cart. She's done this tons before and never had a problem because she screams when I belt her in. We were headed to the checkout when I stopped to look at the baby swimsuits and show one to Erin. BAM! You guessed it...Desi had tried to climb out of the cart and fallen on the floor. (I should have known better especially because she had been trying to climb everything for a few days.) The following pictures will show you what can happen if you don't follow those instructions on the cart! She must have smacked her forehead on the metal bar and somehow flipped over because she was on her back. An Old Navy employee took down my information so she could fill out an accident report form and gave Desi an ice pack and sucker. Oh man, what a day!

Round Two

Fifteen Months

We went to the doctor's for Desi's fifteen month visit and she looks good! No ear infection! She is catching on to the shot thing. When I lay her down on the table she gets nervous and starts to wiggle. Needless to say, she was NOT happy! I wish they gave out suckers, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. She is 30 3/4 inches long which puts her in the 75th percentile and is in the 30th percentile for weight at 21.5 pounds.

St. George

Tom has been working in St. George during the week so Desi and I went down to visit him last week. I had fun shopping and Desi had lots of fun playing at the playground. At first she was hesitant of the slides but after we went down with her a couple times, she wanted to go again and again! She loved just being able to walk around and play with what she wanted. We stopped by the St. George Temple one night and went through the visitor's center. We also stopped at the WalMart and I saw this sign next to where we parked. Huh! None of us knew what to think. How can someone tell if your kids are sick or not and if they are, I hope they don't normally have to drag them into the store!
