HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Christmas 2

Christmas 2 we spent at Grandma Cory's house. We spent the night at Caleb's moms on Christmas Eve so we could wake up there Christmas morning. Lily did not sleep well at all that night. We were very tired on Christmas Day, but had a great time anyway.

Christmas 1

So...we joke about having multiple christmas's now that we are married. We are so lucky that we have family so close by to celebrate the holidays with.

For our Christmas, we decided to open gifts at our house on Christmas Eve.

Our San Francisco Trip

So...remember when I surprised Caleb with a trip to San Francisco. We had a great time. It was fun to get away and Lily did great on her first plane ride. Packing with a baby was sort of ridiculous. We had so much luggage....and I think we used 95% of what we packed.

Darren picked us up from the airport and he brought Lychee for Caleb. Caleb loves Lychee and can't find it here in Utah.


on Saturday, Lily and went to the Renegade Craft Fair. It was this really great handmade craft event with a bunch of different vendors. It was really crowded everywhere and there was so much to see. Lily did a great job and everyone thought she was so cute!


We went to the Zerofriends warehouse one of the days.

Alex, Dave & Darren


We ate at Taylor's Street Coffee shop several times. It was so good. I would love to eat there everyday.

On Sunday we went to Alcatraz. It was a gloomy day. It was really cool to see...and the tour was fun.


Monday was the game. Caleb had a great time at the game with Darren. It was at Candlestick Park. It's very run down and the power went out 3 times before and during the game.



While Caleb was at the game, Lily and I hopped on a train and went to visit Paula. The train was an hour ride. Lily did okay on the train...she was ready to be done about 15 minutes before our stop. I got her to go back in her carseat and fall asleep just before it was time to get off the train.

Here is Lily with Paula's kids...Emmy and Zeke

We had a great time and I hope we can go back soon. We loved seeing friends and tackled our first trip with a baby.

This was our christmas card for the year.

Lily 6 months

Since we didn't get any smiling photos of lily...I thought I would try out getting some photos with my friend Jenny Weston. She did a great job and captured Lily's little personality. Still not a lot of smiles, but some expressions. Lily is definitely an observer...a starer. Takes her a little more to smile. She has to think it's really funny to get a laugh out of her. I love that about her. She is so much fun!

family photos - November 2011

We had our family photos taken by the lovely Sarah Knight Photography. We went up to Wheeler farm for the photos and it was really cold. Lily kind of had a stone face the whole time, but I think she got some fun photos.
