A lot has happened since the beginning of May... Jamie and Blake were married May 12th and what a beautiful wedding!

The weather was surprisingly nice this spring and I took full advantage by going on walks with this sweet girl!

I LOVE this cute little outfit with mouse ears. Quin surprised me by getting a tooth! My sister was babysitting while I was at work and sent me a text asking, "When did Quin get a tooth?" I was shocked. I had no idea she was teething. She had an ear infection (which I realize could have had something to do with teething) so if she was grumpy I thought that was why. She didn't drool at all and acted pretty normal to me. Her two bottom teeth popped up in May and she just barely got her third tooth this week which is on the bottom as well. She must not drool or show tons of teething signs because Lori was the first one to notice her tooth again! Next time I want Quin to get a tooth I will just take her to Lori's!

QLRT

Quality Ricky Lisa Time... We love being parents, and I LOVE being a mom, but it is so nice to have some husband wife time. My mom was ever so kind to baby sit little one this winter while we took time for little get aways at the Ghee. We didn't go nearly as much this year as we have in the past, but I was ok with that. It's hard for me to leave my baby, and the snow sucked. It is good for me thought and I am always grateful to spend time with Ricky.Ricky got new skis for his Birthday and I have to say I am really impressed with how good he is. Of course he is still amazing on a snowboard. I even tested out my mom's skis a few times and I even impressed myself! I am no pro but pretty good for not skiing in 10 years! I can not wait to take little Quin skiing!

Graduation

I am so proud of my husband for finally graduating! Since we have married, one of us or both have been in school every semester except for last summer. We have been living the life of students. I am very grateful for my husband being able to attend BYUI and for the great business program they have. I am very grateful for my husband and the good student he is. I am so ready and excited to move on from the student life and see what our next adventure is!

The best in-laws a girl could ask for!

Brad and Danika came to support Richardo!

My mom, Ricky, and a tired little Quin.

Happy Family!

6 months

Quin is 6 months old! I can't believe it, time has gone so fast! She is now a 16 pounder! She is becoming more and more alert and aware.


Momma loves Quin!


Quinley loves her toes! I think she loves to hear the sound of her voice. When she is laying on her back she makes a loud gargle sound that is so cute! She is just starting to jabber more with "naw naw naw."


Quin finally rolls over! She sits up really well on her own too. I love this baby girl!

5 Months

Quin is growing more and more and is learning lots of new tricks. I am proud to say that I am now one of those parents who find every little new trick to be amazing, because it really is! It is so rewarding to watch my little girl learn and grow! I feel so blessed to be a mother of such a wonderful baby!

5 months old.


Quin loves her jumper!


Oh the excitement!


My beautiful baby girl!

Getting So Big!

This little sweet heart is getting so big! I miss my little baby that would cuddle up on my chest, but it is fun to watch her grow!


Here's little Miss Quin in her own big girl bed! I borrowed a bassinet from my sister in-law and loved it! I had it right by my bed for the first 3 months. It was so nice because I was exhausted but couldn't sleep very well because I was so worried about her! I felt so much better with her right by me and when she would fuss a little I could reach out and rock her all while staying in my warm bed! I was a little sad when she moved into her own room, but I quickly got over that and sleep a little better now. I always tuck her arms in so she doesn't get cold but somehow she works them out.


Quin likes tummy time now that she can hold her head up! She has rolled her twice but I think both were an accident, but she is getting very close...


Quin started to laugh around Christmas. Her Uncle Jeff was the first one to make her giggle. What a happy sound that is! Now she laughs all the time and I absolutely love
it!


Ricky is super busy with school and work. I cannot wait for the semester to be over and for Ricky to officially be done with school! Until then, 7 or so more weeks....

Quinley's Blessing

Quinley was given a Blessing by her father on January 31st 2011. We were lucky enough to have a combined blessing with Quinley's cousin Tanner!


Grandma Dorothy admiring her work. She made this blessing dress for me 23 years ago. This is a special treasure to me, and I am so happy Quinley could wear it!


Cute Babies and their proud parents:)


Brotherly Love.
