workin on the blog

I am going to try and start to blog a bit, but I am going to make it a private blog. Email me if you would like to be added to view. Thanks :)

Halloween & Christmas

So, I am doing better at updating, but not great. Thus, I am combining the two holidays. I do feel bad, it just seems wrong to post pictures of Halloween and the celebration of Christ's Birthday.

Libby was a fairy for Halloween. I wanted to buy her a costume at Disney Land, but they were crazy expensive. So, I decided to make one. This will also be my last! She loved Trick-or-Treating. She knew just what to do, knock on the door and hold up her bag. Blake and I had to take shifts because as soon as we got home she would cry at the door.

Christmas was so fun with all of our family. Libby opened a few presents, played with them, then fell asleep. Lucky for her she had more then two presents, so we were able to celebrate Christmas the next day. By then she had the hang of it and was disappointed that there wasn't more boxes to tear open. Later, she realized they had toys in them.

Funny pictures

I just thought I might post some funny pictures before I head to bed.

In one picture of Libby that's mud, the other is oreo-they are pretty similar, maybe that's why she ate so much mud-SICK!

HOLY CRAP! A NEW POST!

I know, I know, you are probably thinking, "WHAT THE... She finally posted something!" I am too though!

We had such a busy and fun summer that I have totally slacked on the blog, but thanks everyone else for keeping up on it. I love checking out what everyone else is up to and then I get off the computer and don't look back, but today is a new day and I am shocking you all.

I am just going to go through what we have been up to and then post a bunch of pictures.
-We started spring with putting a new roof on the house. Thanks goodness my brother was living with us before he left on his mission and didn't have much work at the time, because we sure put him to work at our house.
-We painted the kitchen cabinets and put new hardware on, again with Justin's help. Jord helped too, by spraying the doors.-We painted out bedroom. This time thanks to Justin and his girlfriend.
-Blake built a corner cabinet and we painted it to house our garbage. For some reason if you leave it out kids like to play in garbage, yuck!
-Blake also finished my cabinet for sweaters and jewelry from two mothers days ago. (did that make sense?)-We painted the family room, but we hate it and are going to repaint. Blake really should just leave the color picking to me!
-Blake and I ran a sprint triathlon together down in St. George ( I am not doing that again for a long time!!!!!)
-We camped and boated a ton at the Gorge before Justin had to leave
-Then, sadly we said goodbye to our missionary, Elder Justin Goff, to go and serve in the Kenniwick, Washington Mission- so proud!
-But, the end of the summer ended with a trip to California. What a blast- Disney Land, the Beach, and Sea World. Thanks mom and dad Bingham:)

My baby is One!

Happy First Birthday Libby

Blake had drill on her real birthday, May 17, so we celebrated the day after with some army friends. After a long weekend of Drill, they endured pizza and a one-year-olds birthday.

Here are some things Libby can do:
-She has been walking for a few weeks
-She has four teeth and two on the way (joy)
-She can say "hi" and "hi babe" I always say, "hi baby" and she has picked up on that, maybe I should say, "hi Libby"
-She can empty a basket in 5 seconds flat
-She can still drain a bottle like it's going out of style!

She had such a fun birthday and received several presents:
a xylophone
lawn chair- her favorite, thanks Grandma
kiddy pool
I finally finished her quilt
a balloon
and her favorite, clothes ( she really likes the tags, they must taste good)

We're Back

Okay, so I haven't posted anything in quite some time, sorry. We are doing well and have just been enjoying the nice weather. Libby was pretty sick with croup for a month or so after the last post and was put on steroid medication. She has been doing much better and turned 1 on May 17th. That's when I decided it was time to make some posts.
Blake has been busy as ever. He got home from a three week trip to Azerbejan for army and then headed for a week in Oregon for work right after that. He is now home and trying to keep up with my honey-do list.
I have just been running things at home, starting sprinklers, mowing lawns and planting flowers. I really do love working outside, but Libby makes things a little difficult. Who knew mowing a small lawn like ours could take several hours!
All in all we are doing well and seem to be as busy as ever, but lovin' every minute of it. I may not have been doing much with my blog, but thanks everyone for keeping up with yours. I love seeing those pictures!

Blog Lazy

Sorry I have been blog lazy. I am headed out of town to Casper, Wyo and then to Las Vegas, so I will post some exciting stuff then.

Thanks Mar for driving that seriously long way to visit. I loved having you hear. Ladies I have some funny pictures that I will be sure to post soon.

In the mean time here are a couple of my new favorite pics of Libby. Plus they were already uploaded to the computer!
