Holy Cow...it's been forever

I'm sorry it has been soo long since I've updated with pictures, but I found the right cord and figured out how to use this camera that we are using now so here are some pictures and updates on our life. First I took Linnea to Disney on Ice... I was so excited to take her I figured she would love it...She hated it! The music made her scream and cry so for the
first half we were out in the hallway walking around and I missed the Lion King and Little Mermaid. Finally Grandma Childs was able to bribe her to sit through the second half with a sucker. So I was able to see the new tinkerbell movie skaters...I didn't even get it because I'm all about my classics :). Maybe next year. Linnea has never really liked loud noises, I've finally desensitzed her to the vaccum (by getting her a vaccum) and the blender so we're making progress.


Linnea walking the halls

We celebrated Derek's birthday and Easter. Linnea wasn't too sure about her dress since it was conference and everyone else was in their pajama's but I bought her a dress so I was going to get a picture of her in it at least. I think she looked cute even though she doesn't like to smile for me anymore. She really loved the outdoor easter egg hunt, anything outdoors Linnea is there. Derek turned 24 and we had a fun party for him with lots of junk food and ice cream cake. I love him so much and am so grateful for him. It seems like we've been married longer than we have because he was 21 when we got married it just seems like 21 to 24 is a big gap but it's really not...crazy huh.



Derek is finally done with his first semester at UVU....ahhhh it seems like we'll be in school forever. I'm beginning finals this week and it's stressful if you don't do well in your class you are "dismissed" from the program. They haven't called me in to talk to me yet so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I am only doing online this summer so I get to be HOME!!! Yay I am so so so excited I have missed my home and my girl all year! I am trying to complete my AS and my AAS of OTA at the same time so this summer I have to take METEOROLOGY what?!?!? That will be the lamest part of the summer I assure you.

Linnea is almost 17 months old and I can't believe it, she has the BIGGEST attitude I have ever seen, bigger than mine and that's saying something. She loves to shake her head and say "no, no, no" then when she wants me to do something she holds it up and in the sweetest voice she will repeat "mama, mama, mama" until I do what she wants, and if I don't she throw it down and screams no! It's super funny, but I am tired of the word no :) In her defense she does say "yeah" alot too and it is adorable when she does, she has three different tones so we can always tell her mood by which tone she uses. She loves to give kisses and she knows what she wants and nothing any of us adults say is going to change her mind! I love her so much attitude and all. She is such a joy. She is also the biggest goof in the world. She loves the cheese smile it all the time and then sniff really loud, I'm not sure if I described that good. She also does "Flash dance" thats right she does the "Maniac" dance, and twirls and jumps now. Her favorite animal is a "Dot." (dog) and whenever she hears one she yells "dot, dot, dot". She loves to babble in her own language and loves to read mommy books now, not the other way around. I love her to pieces. I hope this is a good update for now I'll do better now that I will soon have more time on my hands!!!! Hope all is well with everyone else
