I dont know about the rest of the moms out there, but I am totally obsessed with taking pictures of my baby while she is sleeping. It is the sweetest time of the day! I am not sure if that is just because that means that she is not crying, or if it is because she looks so cute, either way I have decided to dedicate a whole post to nothing but pictures of Valerie sleeping starting at the very beginning....enjoy!



















I seriously feel like this sometimes!!

Valerie has a new cousin!!! This is Zachary Curtis Olsen he was born Feb 1st and weighed exactly the same as Valerie did when she was born, 8 lbs 14 oz. How wierd is it to see how big she is now and know that she was exactly that size 4 months ago! It was even more wierd to hold him.
This is Brandon's parents holding both thier grandchildren
She kept trying to grab him
How sweet!!

Tag, I'm it...

Well I've officially been tagged for my first time! Here are the rules: The rules of this game are that each player answers the following questions about themselves. At the end of this post, I will tag 5 people and post their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read my blog.Here it goes.....

10 YEARS AGO: I was attending Taylorsville High school, I think I was a senior. I was probably a huge dork even though I thought I was cool. I was the drama club president, in concert choir, and loved chasing boys.

5 THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST TODAY:
1- Go grocery shopping.
2- Start making Brandon's Valentines day present.
3-Finish cleaning the house.
4-Buy some bottles from a lady off Craigs List (Valerie is learning how to drink out of a bottle...dont worry its breast milk).
5-Take care of Valerie (which often means I wont get to anything else on my to do list).

SNACKS I ENJOY: As long as it involves chocolate I love it!! Right now we have some chocolate chip cookies sitting on the counter and I think I eat 3 a day!!

THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE SUDDENLY MADE A BILLIONAIRE: Wow the first thing I would do is have Brandon design our dream home (not overly huge though we would make it practical), get new cars, buy a whole new wardrobe including jewlery and shoes, travel a TON, share some, save some, and invest some.

3 OF MY BAD HABITS:
1- I am late a lot
2- I complain a lot
3- and I leave bobby pins around the house all over the place (Brandon's # 1 complaint).

PLACES I HAVE LIVED: Orem, Taylorsville, Provo, South Jordan, and currently West Valley (not the ghetto part ha ha ha I always have to add that).

THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME: When I am really tired or hungry I get WAY grumpy, moody, and irrational. There was a time right after Valerie was born that I was afraid Brandon was going to have me committed to the loony bin because I was turning into a crazy person!

I tag, Molly, Mary, and Rachel N. (only 3) TAG....YOU'RE IT!
