What a great day!

Today was amazing, Matt and I finally made it to the church to help with the Saturday cleaning.  I felt so terrible when we missed our turn last week because I didn't know what time to show up!  After that Danielle came to babysit Lilah so Matt and I could go see our first movie since before Lilah was born.  We saw the new Pirates movie.  I loved it!  Characters you already know and love but in a whole new story!  It was super!  Then we spent a few minutes with Danielle before she had to head off for her busy life!  But, in the meantime we got this amazing picture of the Squeak!  

I sure love that little girl! Today was momentous because this is the first time she has been able to stay sitting up on her own.  She did tip a few times but it was really exciting when she was able to catch herself and stay balanced!  She is also able to roll from her tummy to her back;  but since she doesn't love being on her tummy it's hard to get her to go the other way.  She is getting so big and every day is an adventure to see what she is going to do next!


I was called to teach the 4 year olds in Primary at church.  Last week was my first official week of it, and I am excited to see if they remember much from the lesson last week.  


Matt and I had an opportunity recently to renew our testimonies of tithing.  I'm so grateful for the blessings and peace that come when paying an honest tithe. 


That's about all that is new for us for now.  I'm still getting used to this blog thing and deciding what kinds of things to include.  

Time for some big changes!

Yesterday Matt and I made it through our first day on the Weight Watchers program!  It really wasn't too bad, it's nice to be looking at portions and taking control of what I eat or don't eat.  We even went for a 40 minute walk with Lilah, which was amazing!  The weather was perfect for a walk!

Lilah finally cut through that second tooth after a really crummy night on Sunday.  In celebration she napped for 4 hours in the afternoon yesterday and then slept all night!  In fact, as I type this I am listening for her to wake, nothing yet!

We had a fun week last week, especially after Thursday.  We drove down to Las Vegas on Thursday night to stay with Matt's parents.  Matt had a convention on Friday that everyone from work was going to attend.  We decided to save him some sleep time by driving down early.  Well, it was almost a perfect plan- the guys from work had to complete a project to deliver in Vegas before they went to the convention, so finally Matt heard from them after 2 pm that they were at the convention.  He dropped me off at Leane's house and then decided that since the convention ended at 5 he wouldn't make it there in enough time to be worth it.  So, he did what any normal person would do, he decided to test drive a $40,000 car!  I love this man!  He shows up at Leane's house in a cherry red Dodge Challenger.

The weekend went great with Matt's family and then we were home again.  It always goes by so fast!  I'm glad we got to play with Leane and Ted!  That little boy is adorable!!  (yes, two exclamation marks)  So here we are looking forward to the rest of the week, tracking, always tracking!
