Growing so fast!

In case you have been missing this cute little girl I'll give you an update and overload.} She has learned SO much the past few weeks and is growing so fast. We love her and think she's pretty fun.

Here is Juliette- sticking her tongue out!

 Always climbing on top of things

 She is so smart. She knows that a brush combs your hair

 She can stack and play with blocks

 Loves this toy her cousins gave her and babbles  lot

 She thinks she is a dog haha

 Knows that she is a princess {dressing up at day care}

 LOVES shoes and tries to put her foot in every pair that she sees.

 Can hold her own bottle and likes to do it herself.

She even wants to feed herself........quite messy but a good learning experience. 

 Does this "come here/give it to me" motion when she wants something.

Likes to put the bucket (or anything) on her head

 Loves taking things out of bags and boxes...especially Kleenexes and wipes.

 Knows how to drink out of a straw

She can climb up stairs!

Looks like a baby model

 Packing is fun to do when she has to inspect every box...

 Our little Monkey. I was on the computer and she was on the chair behind me. She was being rather quiet so I turned around to check on here and this is what she was doing.

 again loves boxes. Prefers boxes over toys. Lol

 Posing.

Such a GIRL!

Sisters Party

My dear grandmother Dickson had 11 kids! Every year all the sisters (and sister-in-laws) get together for a sisters party. They look forward to it and love it every year. This year my mom threw our FIRST ANNUAL SISTERS PARTY for the Witt sisters and we had a BLAST! Of course we invited my grandma Dickson to join us in the festivities. 

Melinda, Mom, Sabrina, me, Jessica, Grandma

The theme was HAWAIIAN LUAU- can you tell?

 

Then we all went bowling

 Made PALM TREETS

 Got spoiled with cute pedicures from A-Plus Nails

 It was fun having Sabrina up here from Cedar City

We had a delicious dinner- grilled chicken and veggies on skewers, rice, and fruit. 

We played games (Dominoes, word on the Street) and stayed up until 4 AM talking!

In the morning we had a yummy breakfast and listed to talk by John Bytheway about women.   

SISTERS make the BEST FRIENDS

I'm so thankful for my mom for putting this party together. I'm thankful for my sisters and love talking to them and hanging out. They truly are my best friends and will be forever! Thanks to my hubby (my real best friends) for watching Juliette. Thanks for the fun sleepover and great memories girls! 

My other SISTERS

I just had a girls packed weekend! My sorority sisters {Alpha Phi} and I still get together all the time to go to dinner, play games and chat. They are the best. We had our annual trip to Karly's cabin and had SO much fun! Thanks Jac for planning it and thanks Kar for letting us have it at your gorgeous cabin!

Leslie, Kristy, me, Rachelle, Whitney, Karly, Nicole

Danielle, Becca, Stephanie, Jacie, Sarah

I love having sisters that I was born with and being sisters with those that I wasn't born with but we will be sisters forever! I'm glad that we stay in touch and I need to keep in touch better with those I miss so much that live far away, and even those who live close but we don't get together. I love you girls!

I was reading quotes and sorority poems here and it kinda inspired me to write my own. I wanted to share this at the sleepover but didn't so here it goes...

Greener Grass

I saw this on pinterest and I love it! It is so true. I think that so many people think that a different life would be better or easier or "greener" on the other side but life is good wherever you put effort in.

I was reading this blog today and it referred to the book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling AKA Kelly from The Office. She talked about how marriage is work but it should be our favorite kind of work. She hates when people complain about being married and wants to see couples having fun together and giving each other high fives. I'm so happy to say that Matt and I literally give each other high fives all of the time.

Marriage can be hard but it is SO worth it and so rewarding. I love having a guy that will watch every episode of the Bachelorette and Project Runway with me (and watching Repo Games and Tanked with him.) I love our dates! On Friday we went to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and saw the new Borne movie. Matt is reading "The Millionaire Next Door" for his Finance class [btw he is going to school this next semester-YAY!] and it is so good! It's fun to discuss how to save and pay off debts. I know it sounds lame that that is fun but it just feels good to know that we have a plan and that we are a united team going after lifelong goals. I love our daughter [obviously- every other post is about that spunky bundle of joy!]

Marriage exposes all your imperfections and that is so hard to realize but at the same time so great because then you can improve and become the person you want to become and know that you have someone that loves and supports you by your side. Getting married teaches you so many lessons and skills. It helps you become a more well rounded person, but only if you are willing to water it and work at and enjoy it. You not only learn about yourself but about all of the hobbies and things that your spouse knows about and loves. I love learning about the latest technology and how to budget from my hubby. Sometimes I get scared to post stuff like this cuz its too mushy or who really cares but seriously it's how I feel and I absolutely love being married. I also love being inspired by others blogs and love talking and writing so here you go and remember to water the grass where you want it to be green!

10 month old baby

I love this girl!

 her new thing is sticking her tongue out

 all

 of the

 time!

She can shake her head no! She laughs at us when we  tell her no.

Her hair is coming in slowly but surely, but she still looks bald. 

She is very adventurous and laughs a lot. 

She can open cupboards and take everything out- thats fun...no it isn't. 

 She's having a fun summer! Playing with friends at day care.

She can point, clap and growl haha

She loves books! 

She likes to babble, pull herself up and walk around furniture and will soon be standing and walking!

She LOVES to splash and swim. 

Home Sweet Home

Matt and I found a house!!! We are going to close on our first home next week! Wahoo! We found a house in Taylorsville 84123 area code. 2 miles from his parents and 3 miles from my parents.  15 min from matts work and about 20 minutes to Juliette's daycare and my work. It is PERFECT!  I don't have any pictures of it yet. So I got these off google earth.

 Can you see the back yard in the pic below?

It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a jetted tub, hot tub, 2 car garage, BEAUTIFUL backyard, tons of plants/trees, in a circle and in our price range! We are so excited. The only drawback....the lady that currently lives there wants to stay until the end of September...so we'll be renting it to her for 2 months. I cant wait. I'm already planning our first party- Juliette's 1st birthday party- Oct 11! (I hope we're all moved in by then.) Once we move in I'll post more pictures.
