Update

I realized we haven't updated our blogspot in a really long time, so I'm just going to update what has been going on in our lives.

Liza is a growing girl who will be 2 at the end of December. She is learning lots of new words everyday and is just getting smarter and smarter.
Brendon is still at Discover working lots of mandatory overtime and is continuing to work for Dan's foods one night a week for extra money. He works very hard and is very happy when he gets to be home with his wife and daughter.
Melissa is staying at home with her little girl and is expecting another girl at the beginning of February. She is way excited to have a newborn again.

We just bought and moved into a condo in Taylorsville, which we love so far. It is two-levels, and has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It is very nice to have the extra space and Liza loves it too. She loves that she has a lot more room to run around. Since we are in a place that can have pets, we brought Sammy the dog to live with us. So far, we're not sure if he likes it because he has to be on a leash to go outside to do his thing. He's used to just being let out and free. Anyway, Liza loves to play with him (which, Sammy does not like either). We're hoping he'll learn to love it here and that I will too. With another baby on the way, we'll have to see if we can handle having him here.

Kisses

Liza and I were having fun taking pictures one morning and all of a sudden, she just gave me a really big kiss on the cheek. It was the cutest thing.

Christmas morning, Liza found a surprise at the foot of the tree. A BIG bear. She loves stuffed animals and was so excited to see this new bear. We had let her snuggle with the bear at the store a couple times and then decided to buy it one day and she kept looking at us like, "we're really taking this with us??" We then hid it until Christmas morning. She was so excited.

Liza had a lot of fun with her cake but wasn't really sure what to do with it most of the time. She got really dirty and had to have a bath afterwards.

Liza turned one on December 20th, so we celebrated with her very own cake.

This is at Gardner Village in October. We had a lot of fun looking at the shops and all the other cool things.

We had an appointment with Liza's helmet doctor on November 25th and he told us that there was no reason for Liza to continue wearing the helmet any longer. It was as round as it was going to get. She had worn it full time for 3 months and than 1 month just at nap time and bed time, so we were all excited to hear that we got the okay for her to be officially done. Especially Liza, until she bumps her head...ouch!

FIRST HALLOWEEN

This is Liza with her Nana (gypsie).

FINALLY! Our computer was able to download a picture. Yay. Anyway, this is our Halloween attire (obviously). Liza had a fun day, traveling from place to place to show off how cute we all are. Although we wouldn't let her eat the candy, she still tried.

Doggy Kisses

Liza loves to give her doggy kisses as you can tell.
