We're Expanding!!!!

Our little family of 3 will soon have an addition.  We are so excited to have another little baby! Due in January.  Josie is wearing her big sis shirt.  It was so fun to tell our families this way.  Puck's mom Jan just said, "Cute shirt, did you make it?"  took her a minute to catch on.... My mom was completely shocked because we surprised the whole fam by flying home and showing up in Roosevelt and Josie was wearing this, so it was a bawl fest..... Lots of fun!  Josie is so great with little babies.  She loves Rilo out here she gets so excited around her.  I'm excited to see Josie as a big sis. And Puck and I couldn't be more excited!!!!

What we have been up to!!!!

I apologize for my serious lack of blogging. I don't even have a real excuse. So let me give you a run down of life in Chicago.
Puck...... works all the time. He is such a hard worker. He gets to play with Josie for like an hour or 2 every morning and that about all he gets to see her except for Sundays. We have daddy all day Sundays. They are by far my favorite day of the week. Even though J doesn't get to see daddy very often she adores him. Any time she hears a car lock outside she runs to the door, "Daddy, Daddy!!!!" It's really cute. And sad.
As for me and Josie, we fill our days with pool time, park time, splash mat, and exploring. We were able to go downtown to the "Taste of Chicago," this week and met up with Sadi and baby Taiya and Bri and Rilo. It is so funny having babies anywhere outside of Utah. People asked if we were sisters and if we had planned our pregnancies together. HMMM (Josie is 18 months, Taiya is 11 months, and Rilo is 4 months.) The Taste was awesome. A bunch of Chicago restaurants are all together and you walk around and eat. My kind of party. I was seriously sick afterward though. WOW.... Josie loved it. I bought her a little backpack harness so she could walk around and she thought she was soo big. Running into people and saying hi and running back to the babies in their strollers to make sure they were ok. It was so cute.

We were able to go with Puck to Six Flaggs and it rained like crazy but Josie still loved it.

Also, Megan and Zoey came to Chicago to play.  It was so much fun to have them out here.  Josie and Zoey are BFF's.  They are seriously hillarious together.  Josie runs behind Zoey and bear hugs her.  So cute and they can play for hours together.  We were sad when they left.

I have soo much more to blog about but i'm not making any promises.  

Thanks to those of you who still visit our lonely blog.  We love and miss you all!!!!

Josie in the Sky with Diamonds

This post is dedicated to my sweet little niece AJ.... She loves Josie so much and the song Lucy in the sky and so one day she started singing, "Josie in the sky with diamonds...." I just love that little miss Addi J and we miss her and all our other cousins so very much.

PS My cute friend Bri took these shots. She is amazing!!! PPS obviously this wasn't set up for a photo op because it was right after a nap and she doesn't really even match. but that is what we get with a 16 month drama queen.

Actually....

Puck and I have been up to something. Before we left for the summer we decided we wanted to get into a new TV series and thanks to our friend Lisa, we decided that FRiday Night Lights would be it. So, pUck gave me the 1st 2 seasons for my birthday and we started watching it as soon as we got here. And let me just say, WE LOVE IT!!!! If you are looking for a new series to watch, may we suggest this. And it is entertaining for both of us. My other shows I like I can't get my husband to watch with me so it has been so fun. Oh and a new season starts May 7th and we could not be more excited.

The Latest and Greatest

Well we have done it again. MOVED..... Where??? The city of Chicago. Actually Westmont, IL but its Chicago. And I must say that it is by far my favorite summer location. Maybe because it isn't blasting hot yet or maybe its the fact that Josie sleeps 100% better in her pack and play. It boggles me that she enjoys it so much but I am so grateful that she does. In fact Josie really just likes it out here. I think she thinks we are just on vacation since its a new spot. Puck really is enjoying this area also. We miss Utah but August will be here before we know it. And then its home again.
Josie is now 16 months old.... I honestly can't believe how quickly she has grown up. Its incredible. She is FINALLY walking. but, still prefers to be carried or crawl. She walks and then will fall and say, "OW" and crawl for a minute. She loves to climb things. I often find her on top of boxes, or chairs, or tables. Oh and she is obsessed with BUZZ LIGHTYEAR. Our drive here was 20 hours long and she watched Buzz probably 8 times. and she raises her arms and says, "BUZZ???" Grandma Jan taught her to do it and she requests Buzz every time she wakes up. She is so entertaining. Honestly she has so much personality already. She loves saying, "Hi there" to complete strangers and if they don't respond she says it again and again until they say hi back. She also loves to say, "NO!" It was so cute for a while and now I think she understands what it mean and says it all the time.
I forgot my cord for my camera in Utah but as soon as I get it i will post some new pictures.
As for Puck and I.... not a lot of new for us. Puck works all the time and I play card games and sew. HaHa what a life. I have made a few projects since being here and I will post pics ASAP.
We hope every one is doing well and I will be better at posting this summer.......PROMISE!

ISn't it about time????

Seriously......I'm embarrassed by the lack of posts I have published. It has been so long that I should almost just give up. BUT i won.t. Lets start with Josie J. She is now 15 months old and still content with crawling. She will take like 10 steps then sit down and clap for herself. She is talking up a storm, some of her favorites are; "uh-oh what???" "Hi there" "Bu-Bye", "Nice" as she strokes your head or hits Penny the puppy. Cookie, cracker, ball, book, and of course MORE. She is a serious begger when it comes to food. She doesn't like a lot of things but the things she likes she can't get enough of. She loves playing with other kids. We just joined the Little Gym and she cant get enough of it. She goes around all the equipment and the kids and it is pretty exhausting by the end of the hour. It is so cute to see her there. I will post some video later. So here is some pictures lately and by lately I mean from Nov. on......
She loves a good lunch. Or breakfast or dinner or snack
One of her favorite things to play is kiss the window with daddy. A real mess but so cute.
FINALLY. She will watch TV. I mean its only 15 min or so but such an improvement. Just enough time to jump in the shower for the day.
Oh and she loves the pantry. She found a bag of dum dums and wasn't satisfied with just one. So she had 4.
OK i know its not much but i will post some more later today. Duty calls and its screaming "MOMMY!!!!"
Much love!!!
