Fun Times

The last few days have been great. My aunt Di and uncle Rich came into town on Wednesday to help my cousin Jane' (sorry I don't know how to do accents so I can't spell her name correctly) with her daughter's wedding. They decided to stay with us since my cousin's house was overcrowded with the wedding party. Thursday night jane' asked if her two younger daughters (melissa 8, Nicole 10) could stay at our house with Di while she hosted the bachlorette party at her house.
Lily is completely in love with these girls and had such a wonderful time. We picked up hot and ready pizzas and watched high school musical two. Lily loved being one of the girls. She sang songs, showed off our Sugar Gliders and played on on her play place. At the end of the night they went to bed on an air mattress in our loft. Lily crawled right in between with them like that was where she belonged. Di told them a night time story and she almost fell asleep, but was just too excited, so she slept in her crib.
Tonight was the wedding. It was beautiful and again Lily had a blast. She loved seeing the "pretty princess". After the wedding we got to socialize with Di and Rich. It was great to have a good adult conversation and catch up with them.
Lily will be sad to see them leave tomorrow, but we are going up to St george for Thanksgiving just a few days later. She loves all of the attention she gets from Di.

Some other cute things about Lily:
She is part of a little group of friends in nursery. There are about 5 little girls the same age that love to play together. She constantly tells me that she wants to go to nursery and see her friends. She also has friends at our neighborhood playground that she loves to play with. When she sees other kids in the neighborhood she runs to yells "my friends, I love my friends"
She is learning so much, especially about the gospel. She loves to talk about President Monson and Joseph Smith. She still doesn't want like prayers, but she talks about praying to Heavenly Father and talks about how Jesus loves her. It is so fun to watch her learn and grow. She is such a fun little girl.
Here are a few pictures of my little sweetheart. (Including Halloween)
My favorite picture is the one of Lily on the couch. Note that she is wearing her "dora backpack", reading a book and sporting sunglasses.

Lily's garden

Lily inherited her father's love for plants. She is constantly picking flowers and smelling them. She loves trees (especially palm trees) and points them out every time she sees one. Seth decided it was time for lily to have her own plant (mainly so she would leave his rare plants alone) We came home with a whole planter of flowers that Lily could water and pick as much as she wants. Needless to say it is a big hit. Planting them was a great bonding experience for her and Seth and every day she gets to go out with him and water them. It is great to see my two favorite people working together over something they both love.
Seth also got a few herbs for his own planter. He tasted one of them and offered some to Lily. She took it and ate it, because her daddy gave it to her. She really is alot like her dad. (one of the pictures is of her showing me the herb she was eating) Here are some pictures.

P.S. Also included is a picture of me on my last day with the walking boot. woohoo!

some pictures

I know I have been terrible about blogging and I cannot promise it will get better, but here is one post.
Last saturday we took Lily to a pumpkin patch/ farm. It was a little dumpy, but lily had a great time. Here are some pictures.

another lost video

This is from right before the move. I was packing all of our framed pictures and Lily freaked out when I covered our Christ picture. She is so cute about church. She talks about it all day. Yesterday when seth got dressed up for his interview she immediately stated "oh we're going to church" Of course she throws a fit every sunday when we walk into sacrament instead of nursery, but she gets over it. enjoy the video.

My crazy child.

Here are a few pictures of Lily that were never posted because of the move. The picture of Lily outside in a red jacket was when it was 80 degrees outside and Lily insisted she was cold. The pictures of her with a pillow case on her head are just an example of a wild night in the Morris home. She does something similar to this every day. She ran around with the pillow case over her for at least an hour. As for Seth and I... life is looking up. Seth had his 3rd interview for a bank position yesterday. We should hear if he has another interview by Tuesday. We are starting to get settled into the house. It is slow, but we are so blessed to be in this house. It all happened at the perfect time (If you can say there is a perfect time for bad things to happen) I am feeling pretty good. I have some morning sickness, but it isn't too severe. I mainly just feel gross, exhausted and have lots of aches and pains. My first appointment is on Thursday so I will find out my official due date then. All in all we are doing fine. Here and the pictures and I hope the video of Lily will post. P.S. i love that even in a pillow case lily will pose for the camera :)

update

So the last few weeks have been crazy. As most of you know Seth lost his job a couple of weeks ago. (see the previous post to see why this was very emotional for me) He had an interview with a bank and is now waiting for the second interview they promised. We are now moved into our new house and out of the old. It is such a relief to be out of the old house. Our landlord was very manipulative and kept giving us ultimatums for getting our deposit back. When we moved into the house it was very dirty and yet he expected it to be spotless when we left. You'd think that after our house flooded 3 times with sewage and WE had to clean it up he would give us a little break but no. I am just glad to be out of there. The new house is great. Seth's parents have been back and forth between here and Tucson helping us and Seth's sister Noelle. It has been a very long and exhausting week.
Lily is loving having some daddy and grandparent time. She has been so good through this move. She put up with 3 15 hour days without much complaint at all. She is in a good phase right now... very cute and independent. I am dreading Seth going back to work and life settling down and yet I want some normalcy back. Anyway if you haven't read my previous post yet, you might want to :) PS happy 4th
