so where to start... i am so far behind... we went to sequoia national park since it is only about an hour away. i hadn't been there before so it was pretty awesome (besides being about 30 degrees colder than expected). we even saw a few bears. the next day we drove down to redlands to meet mom. wshe took me back to blythe and seth drove back home to work the next day. in blythe i went to the ward campout and enjoyed spending time with mom dad and bryce. everyday i would hold the phone up to lily's ear so she could hear her daddy's voice and every time she turned to look for him. she changed alot while we were there.. she stopped crying every time i changed her diaper.. what a blessing.. and she took some really good naps by herself. she also finally discovered how wonderful it is to have a hand to suck on.. so i stayed in blythe for a week and then seth picked me up in blythe and we drove back to bakersfield, where we stayed the night and then got up early to drive to disneyland (leaving lily with my mother in law) disneyland was crowded but a blast.. we stayed til it closed at midnight and then drove back to bakersfield... slept there til 11 and drove back to visalia around 9.. after that crazy week and a half we were really ready for a break.. so its nice to be home and have lily back on her schedule. oh btw ash lily has gotten better about sleeping alone.. not great but better... sleeping about 45 mins on her own once or twice a day. oh yes and she now loves her tummy time.. (even tho since she has perfected rolling over it ends up being back time) and finds complete joy in flirting with the mirror.. she makes seth and i laugh constantly with her talking, licking and attempts at crawling.. and thank goodness she loves playing with her daddy so much more now.. anyway hopefully i am going to the byu ballet performance here in visalia on thurs but besides that not much else is going on..almost forgot.. we went trick or treating on halloween with a couple from our ward who have a 2 year old. we went to about 10 houses before lily just blew.. so of course we just bought discount candy the next day. crud the pic of the leaf shouldnt be there.
