Vegas Baby!

There are many reasons why I love Vegas. One obviously being that i grew up there, but second, family, family, family, 24/7. I have had the chance to be there quite a bit over the last month and a half. I have been meaning to post about it but haven't had the chance so hear goes.

First, little Naomi loves Vegas! She doesn't realize it yet, but she smiles up a storm while she is there. She had her first smile there, and she continued to smile this trip all the live long day. She was also introduced to the outside world for the first time while there. It was such great weather that we took her outside and just let her hang out with us on the front lawn. She loved it. Probably can't do that in Utah for another three months.... Shoot me!

Second, since having a baby Jessica has been such a HUGE help. I have nicknamed her the Baby Whisperer. Seriously she knows so much about babies, and she has taught me quite a bit. I now have a baby that takes naps whenever I lay her down, and she sleeps for hours at a time. She taught me how to stop her fussiness, and put her to sleep in three seconds flat, and she taught me how to quickly get rid of the unwanted gas that has been making her tummy hurt. Seriously, I love Jek and am so thankful that she actually PLANS on mentoring me while I am there. I am so thanful for it, because seriously she has made my life so much easier! It is like being related to a nurse!

Third, these peeps. My parents are so great! Seriously I hate saying goodbye to them. I love and look forward to my late night visits with my mom while she is putting curlers in her hair, and I enjoy my dad's cooking at anytime of the day. Seriously it could be 4 in the morning, and if you ask him to make you sandwich its made in five seconds flat. Not to mention it is always delicious! I have the worlds best parents, and I only wish they lived closer.

And fourth, Naomi loves to play with her twin cousins Mitchell and Matthew. It is so fun to have them all the same age. I am excited for them to grow up together and be close in age (Along with my sister-in-laws Jenna and Kelley's babies as well). Naomi will have such great cousin friends when she gets older.

Thanks for the great two weeks! It was so much fun to be down there for so long... It seriously goes by too fast! Love you all!

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY...For hubby that is

Jon has been working hard for the last two days to give this little lady a place to slumber...

We always new where Naomi's room would be but we had so much work to do, and no desire to do it while I was pregnant. Plus her room was so cold that we new we had a little time because we didn't want her sleeping in there until winter was over.

I could just eat this little chick and kiss her little cheeks and nose all day long!

I really really really wish I had before pictures because the room before was unimpressive to say the least. I am so thankful for what Jon has done so far. I am so impressed with how good of a job he does, and how fast he does it. Our basement is really cold so in a matter of two days, Jon put up new walls (framed), drywalled, insulated, caulked, baseboard, beadboard, taped off, painted, and Vio La (SP). I the color is similiar to the rest of my house but this is slightly different and actually turned out to be my favorite of them all.

Now it is my turn to get the decorating done! Hopefully it won't take me long... It will have to wait until I am back from my Vegas vacation for the next two weeks!

Sissys Right....

They really work well together to fight a cold. I recommend it. It worked for me!
