Uncle Colty's big Day

Colter got ordained to be an Elder, so we went down to be there for it. This was Lucy's first long trip. She didn't do too bad.

It took 8 years for all of the people who were supposed to be there to get there. Lucy fell asleep for most of that part.

Big sis, Callie, gives Colty a hug when it's all done.

The Players: Jordan, the landlord, Emmy, Uncle Justin, Colty, Bishop, Mr. Bill (the cutest man ever - aside from Ty).

Aunt Emmy couldn't put Lucy down. Can you blame her?

On our way home, we stopped for some shopping. One of the store clerks asked if there was any non-Caucasian ethnicity in her. Nope, she's all WHITE!

Farmed Out

The week I found out that we needed to have our apartment ready to be shown, I farmed Lucy out to friends. Along with all of the stuff that goes in a diaper bag, I included a camera so that I could get some rocking pictures. Here is the result.

Megan and her kids watched Lucy and had a blast. Tanner got her to smile and everything, but he hates pictures. His brother Logan enjoyed holding Lucy for these pics.

Amanda watched Lucy and got to use her baby toys again. This is Lucy with Elliot (the neighbor) and Anna. I love how colorful it is!

Amanda also has the biggest bean bag chair you've ever seen. Lucy looks so tiny on it.

Anna sure loved holding Lucy. I went back a few days later without Lucy and Anna was so sad.

Not forgotten - Melinda, Rebbecca, and Aaron watched Lucy too, but they didn't take any pictures. That doesn't mean I'm any less grateful.
Thanks to all those who watched Lucy and those who offered to as well.

Blessing

Lucy will be blessed on Sunday, August 2 at 10:40 am - ish. If you're interested in going, contact me so I can tell you where it is. We'd love to have you there!

Uncle Chad's Visit

Ty's brother, Chad, came out to meet Lucy and do some outdoor recreation stuff. Here are the pictures he took from his trip.

I had a job interview Wednesday morning, so I asked Ty if he would just drop Lucy off at Granny's house on his way to work. Of course, he had to grab the camouflage blanket to take with them. Chad had to have a picture of this.

Though he won't admit it, Chad is vain. Every time he asked me to take a picture of him, he took off his glasses. He sure seemed to like the little girl though.

This must be right before they took a nap together.

Getting ready for the bath.

"This is the life"

Look at all of those rolls! She's up to 11 pounds, 13 ounces.

Lucy has discovered that being turned out is way more fun than cuddling.

6 weeks old

I needed to give Lucy a bath, but I hadn't gotten everything together yet, so I put her in the tub while I gathered things. This is how she looked.

The girl is growing like a weed. On Father's Day, someone flipped the switch that turns her into a little girl instead of a baby. She now smiles and makes noises (other than crying). It's great!

I really like this outfit, but I couldn't get a picture of her in it without crying. This was right after she soiled it, right before she changed.
