Spring Break

I'm not sure if Lucy and I are legal to call last week spring break. There were actually zero changes for us-I still had school, Kyle still had work. But my family was on spring break, so we got to do some fun things with them.

We went up to Salt Lake with my mom, Megan, John, and my aunt and her kids. We just walked around temple square, went to the beehive house, etc. It was a lot of fun, and the weather was really nice!

We call this look ^ the "cheese ball" grin. She does it to everyone. It's weird. But really cute!

She's so cute!

The Birthday Party!

Oh man, I'm slow getting these up here. But here are some of the highlights from Lucy's birthday party.

When? Monday, March 22, 2010

Where? Our house

Food? Spoon Tacos (yum!), fresh fruit, cake, ice cream

Party Theme? Mickey Mouse Club House

(the only t.v. show Lucy has ever seen. We think she likes it...at least it entertains her for about 30 seconds.)

Gifts? Lots! But some include musical toys, balls, clothes, a bracelet, and an amazing hand drawing of Lucy from uncle Bryan.

Guest List:

-My parents and siblings (G & G Stout, Megan and John)

-Kyle's parents and siblings (G & G Johnson; Justin, Jessica, and Capri; Kendra, Mikey, and Ellie; Paul; Travis; Kali; Kara; Tevin)

-My grandparents (G & G Austin)

-Ryan and Alayne (my cousin and his wife)

We missed Chelsey (on choir tour), Bryan (at school), and of course Mark (on his mission).

Here are a few pictures of the guests. I didn't get all of them. Sorry!

My mom and grandma Austin.
Three grandpas! My grandpa Austin, my dad, Kyle's dad.

Two uncles, Tevin and John.

Ellie and Lucy playing with new toys!
Travis and Paul. Awkward.
Aunt Kali!
Aunt Kendra, Lucy, me, and Kyle.

Uncle Justin, Aunt Jessica, and cute little Capri.
Aunt Kara. She was really into that book. (:

And here are a few of the other events of the evening.

Her birthday cakes! The little one was hers, the big one was for everyone else.

Lucy and Grandma! Cute!

Opening some presents. (John is being a pest in the background.)

Lucy's Cake!

Blowing out the candles!

Yummy!

So excited! Notice the total lack of mess. She was picking sprinkles off one at a time. So daddy pushed her hand into the cake...

And she started bawling!

Once her hand was clean again she was alright, but the cake sure was anti-climactic!

1 year check-up

Today I took Lucy to good ol' Dr. Freestone's for a check-up. He was super impressed with her physical and cognitive skills (she spent the whole time walking over to him, doing a super cheesy grin, and then coming back to me). But, she is still tiny as can be! (except for her head, which is still humongous!)

Head - 18.5 inches; 95 percentile

Height - 28.5 inches; 25 percentile

Weight - 17 lb. 7 oz.; 4 percentile

Funny! Here are some of her recent tricks. In the video, you will see her mad walking skills and her saying "hi". It's so cute!

Also, she does head stands now. What a talent. (:

Love this little lady!

Lucy is ONE!!

I don't know how this happened. Lucy is one today. There is no way it has been a year. I can't even believe it. Sniff. It's kinda sad.

I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from the last year. And, naturally, we had to have a birthday photo shoot. I'm not dying over any of them, but they're still pretty cute. Look at how much she's grown and changed!

2 hours old!

One year old!

Lucy and mommy!
Cute little lady!

So tiny in her car seat!

2 weeks old! Cute!

So sad! (:

Lucy and her cousin Capri!

Lucy and her godmother Jessie! (Jessie and Lucy share a birthday! Happy birthday Jessie!)

Sitting! At only 4 1/2 months!

Lucy and daddy! Go BYU!!

Eating corn with grandma.

5 1/2 months.

6 months! How cute is she?!

Mess maker!!

Yup. Eating a kiwi. With the skin on. I took it away after the picture. Don't even worry.

And finally, here are several of the birthday ones!

Love you Lucy Jo!

2 Year Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 2 year wedding anniversary! It was a busy, but good day. I had a big school project I was working on in Salt Lake all morning, Kyle's brother went through the temple (congrats Trav!), I had math homework...it was just crazy! But we did get to go to the temple and out to dinner (thanks to my fabulous mother in law for babysitting).

Coolest story! So we went to the temple, and the very man who married us was there working in the room! Talk about coincidence!

(This is Brother Packard. Don't worry, I'm not a creepy stalker. I've been doing his personal history video for the last few months, so I have all their family pictures.)

Anyway, it was a really good day. I love Kyle so much! He's the best hubby ever! Thanks honey, I love you!
