Today's lunch.

Look what we had for lunch today. Can you tell it's Lucy's very most favorite food?

Needless to say, we definitely had a bath when we were done.

What we've been up to

I feel like posting something, so I was trying to think what we've done recently. We've actually been quite busy! Kyle's loving his job. He really enjoys all the things he gets to do. He even recently (and very randomly) got to design a sippy cup for someone. (:

I got a new car! I love it! It's an Isuzu Trooper, it have four doors (getting Lucy in and out it so easy now!), it's really fun to drive, and it's nice to just have a vehicle. I don't feel like such a mooch anymore, begging everyone for rides.

I've also been busy busy with my photography, which we're so grateful for! You can see some of my recent work on my photography blog.

Lucy's personality comes out more every day. She's so funny. She can be such a charmer, she has the cutest little smile when she wants something or is happy to see you, but she also has such a temper! How do you teach an almost-10 month old that it's not okay to throw herself on the floor and bawl when it's time to get dressed? Oh brother. She's definitely a drama queen. She's also busy as can be. She gets into everything. I always find her yanking stuff out of drawers or climbing up the stairs to go visit her friends. Silly girl.

Also, my good friend Steve got home from his mission last week. He is like a brother to me, and he's Lucy's self proclaimed Godfather. It was so fun to see him again, and it has made me so excited for my Marky to come home in April!!

Christmas 2009

I am aware that I'm slow in getting pictures up from Christmas. Oh well. It was the most not-break-ish break I've ever had. Kyle still had to work, I had tons of shoots. Anyway, I'm just getting around to it. (:

So, Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve) we went to the extended Stout family party. So fun! Lucy was the baby Jesus for the Nativity, and it was so cute-she let her cousin hold her like a baby the whole time!

Narrators Emily and Megan

Lucy and her cousin being little nuts with the Christmas presents.

My uncle, aunt, and cousin have beautiful voices. I love listening to them sing!

Then on Christmas Eve went went to my Grandma and Grandpa Austin's for their party. It was a blast!

The Nativity. (little Miss Lillie is being a princess. How funny!)

The angels (and the princess.)

Pretty sure we had like ten narrators this year. (:

Megan leading, and some of the other narrators.

Then, we spent the night at my parent's house (just for John), which was so fun! We woke up and opened presents, then came back to Kyle's parents for more presents!

John got an orange!

Lucy got an orange!

Ready to come see our presents!
Getting anxious...

Megan sees her new puppy Kevyn, for the first time!

She's such a cute little Kevyn!

Lucy gets abandoned on the floor in all the excitement. (:

Dad and Kyle. Go cougars!
Lucy got some pretties. Yay!

My cute Mark called from Germany in the early afternoon, we had an early dinner with the Johnson's, then played some more. Needless to say, it was a very busy day. Lucy was exhausted. It was a wonderful Christmas though!
