So I haven't posted in a while, but I need to get more pictures up here and videos because Renick is growing so fast.  He's only 5 months but he's already almost 17 lbs.

We've gone to the Cabin a few times.

We went bowling the other day with Nick's family it was a lot of fun Cicily really liked pushing the ball down the ramp.

A couple days ago Daddy and Cicily went to Utah Lake fishing and these are the pictures and video from the trip.

Up at the Cabin!

Nick's grandparents are going to be selling their cabin so we're trying to spend as much time there as we can this summer.

Catching up with pictures

The pictures aren't really in order, but that's ok.  Just a few pictures to update what we've been doing, and a few Christmas pictures since I never put any up at Christmas.

My Sweet Husband and Daughter!

I'm feeling better finally!  I hope I'm done with the morning sickness or I should say all day sickness.  My husband was so sweet though I had to share, a couple weeks ago when I wasn't feeling so great I went over to his parents for the day with Cicily and he spent a few hours cleaning the house he did all the dishes which there was a lot! cleaned the whole kitchen the living room and the 2 bedrooms and Cicily had done a lot of decorating while I was sick.  He also was able to find a job after looking for several weeks, he now works at Sports Authority.  He's also been going to school this entire time and will graduate in December Hurray!!!  Cicily has been so funny lately she wants to pick out her own clothes, and torments gammy's giant schnauzer which is around 70 lbs. with a pen light.  She of course laughs the whole time.  Earlier today she was coping daddy trying to throw food up in the air and catch it in her mouth it was hilarious she didn't catch a single piece in her mouth but her hair had a lot of cheese in it, and so did her lap.  Oh and it's so cute Cicily says she's having a sister and she wants to carry around the ultrasound picture from the previous post.  She says "I wana hold baby tummy"  It's really cute.  I love my two sweethearts.

Update!

I know I've been horrible lately about updating our blog so let me tell ya what's been going on lately.  We moved to our second apartment of the summer which also means we're half way done with our South Carolina trip.  Cicily and I have been spending a lot more time out doors because it's not as hot here as it was in Columbia still hot though.  We've done quite a bit of swimming and I'm starting to get rid of my farmers tan yay.  Oh I've lost some weight too I don't know how much owing to the fact that I don't have a scale, but I'm down to a size 7 where I was a 10 before I left I'm very happy about that.  My goal before I go back to Utah is a size 5 so not to lofty if I happen to lose more I wouldn't be unhappy though. :)  4th of July was fun, because it was Sunday so that meant that Nick was actually home yay!  So we got to light off fireworks and we went to our new ward which is supper small, but everyone is very nice.  I love the feeling of family you get from a small ward.  Cicily had a hard time with the fireworks her favorites were the roman candles and the mortars( I think that's what Nick called them, the ones that shoot into the sky and explode like at fireworks show only these were a little smaller.)  Cicily was scared of the noise they made though.  Rocky though had to be held back a lot of the time because he wanted to hold and touch the fireworks.  Oh I've now seen lightning bugs they are sooooo cool I love looking at them from my balcony.  Cicily was scared of them at first but I've taught her that lightning bugs are pretty and she now says " pretty light bugs" .  Potty training is going pretty good she went poop in the potty all by herself for the first time today.  She got an Oreo for it.  As long as she's half naked though she'll go potty all by herself all day.  We've tried panties a couple times but she has accidents every time we'll keep trying  though.  We got her Tinkerbell panties,  she loves them,  they're so cute on her.

South Carolina

Well we're all moved in to our new apartment.  I LOVE IT!  It's the biggest nicest apartment we've ever lived in.  It has a screened in balcony so no bugs and Cicily has plenty of room to run around.  We also live basically right next to the largest earthen dam in the US and we walk it about every other day.  We live in the same building as Sireena and Robert, so Cicily and I hang out with Sireena and their kids quite often.  There is a playground and a pool with a little kiddy area that's only 6 inches deep.  Cicily loves them both.  So we're doing really well here in Columbia.  We took a few family pictures while we've been here too.

My Husband!

My husband is the greatest in the world.  He's sweet, kind, and always thinking of others.  He worries about me and our daughter.  Trying hard to always balance work, school, and our family.  He always wishes he had more time to spend with us.  He holds me when I need to be held and knows how to get me to talk when I don't want to, but need to.  He knows the right things to say when I'm upset.  He listens to me and always tries to help me be the best I can.  He remembers every holiday, birthday, and anniversary, and is usually first to say happy valentines, anniversary, or other.  He loves to dance and make people happy.  If someone asks for help he's almost always there. And what does it say about him that when I was 12 I realized I wanted to marry him and compared every other guy I dated to him and no one was ever better then him. 

South Carolina!

So I know we move quite a bit, but guess what we'll be moving again in April.  I know your all shocked into comas right.  lol  For those of you wondering why the move.  Nick will be working with my brother this summer installing security systems for APX.  In other news Nick also just got a job with APX while we're living here in Utah in the customer service department so Yay! 

Disney World!

Well our adventure here in Florida is coming to an end.  We've had a lot of fun and we're trying to get a few more trips to Disney world in.  Here are a few pictures of our latest visit.  

 

Cicily visited the aliens.  They thought she was thier leader.  

Then someone thought she was a toy and packaged her. 

Don't worry though Buzz and Woody saved her.

She thanked them!

Then met up with daddy for some popcorn.

After that we met up with  Mickey and his friends.

And daddy was able to get us pictures with Mickey and all his friends together!

Our first Thanksgiving alone!

This year Thanksgiving was just a little different for us. Since we're in Florida we were to far away from family to visit. So we had our own Thanksgiving. Just our little family. The day before Thanksgiving I started making dinner so I wouldn't have to do everything the day of. I made the pumpkin pie and the deviled eggs.

Then bright and early in the morning I stuffed the turkey and put it in the oven, made a banana cream pie, took a break while Nick made the sweet potatoes, made the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and gravy. And while we were doing all that Cicily was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and she was waving at all the floats and people on the TV it was really cute. Then right about the time the Turkey was finishing cooking the Carbon Monoxide alarm goes off. At first I was kinda confused because I was thinking it was the fire alarm, but we didn't have any smoke in the house. So I went out side to check if it was the building alarm, because we live in an apartment so it could have been someone else, But it wasn't the building alarm. So I went back inside and looked at the alarm and I realized it was the Carbon Monoxide detector so then I'm panicking wondering what we should do, because dinner had just finished and we had a large thanksgiving dinner just sitting there. It was very frustrating. So we opened all the windows in our apartment, the door too, and Cicily and I sat outside while Nick went to the front office to see if there was anyone there to talk to. Of course no one was there on Thanksgiving though. So Nick called his dad to see what he thought. We all felt fine and we figured it was from all the cooking since our stove and oven is gas and since the heat hasn't been on at all. So Nick reset the detector and it didn't go off again after an hour of airing out.

Luckily most of the food was still hot or warm at least to have our Thanksgiving dinner after that little episode. I think we did pretty good on dinner for cooking my first turkey, banana pie, pumpkin pie, and gravy. It all turned out great even with being sick.  Cicily loved Thanksgiving dinner too she had a little bit of everything and even pointed out a couple things she wanted more of.  

Disney World!

Here are some more pictures from Mary and Rachels stay I just thought they were really cute and needed a shout out.
