Well, I decided to do some more pics from Christmas. I added some from our Christmas here in Texas prior to our visit to my parents house. We have had such a wonderful holiday season!!! We have been sickies here this past week, we are hoping to recover soon. I'm sick of coughing I must say!! Hope everyone is doing well!! I got a chance to watch one of the DVD's that we got for Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Skousen's videos. What a treat!!! I love my family and I'm so grateful for pictures and videos to capture the things we would otherwise only have a faint memory of. Love to you all!!!

Happy New Year!!!

What a wondeful Christmas we had!! We had an awesome time at my parents house celebrating Christmas and the New Year. This year was different because we had little Lillian here with us. As I look at her, I feel like I get a little glimpse of heaven on earth and it warms my heart and reminds me of a little child born into very humble circumstances. I'm so grateful for how very blessed we are. We live in a wonderful country and both Collin and myself were lucky enough to be born into homes full of love and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thanks to both our families for making this Christmas so incredibly wonderful!!!!

Sleeping safely in Grandpa's arms! This was taken after midnight on New Year's!! My little one is a night owl!!!

'Tis the Season

Lillian is growing up so fast!! I wish I could stop time and just keep her this little for a while, but that isn't how it works. So I will enjoy every moment and take lots of video and pics!!! Collin is in the midst of finals and is studying like crazy!! This Dental school stuff isn't for the faint of heart!! We can't wait for Christmas!!! I keep looking at our little family and thinking, I don't think life can get much better. We are so blessed. It is truly easy to count my many blessings for they are many!! Love to you all!!!

Happy girl in her swing!
Hanging out with Daddy after church

So relaxed
Pretty girl!!!

Fresh and clean just out of the tub!!

So busy
Pulling out Daddy's hair. She has quite the grip!

The Little Pumpkin

Better late than never...we are finally getting some halloween pics up! She was kind of ticked off when I was taking these pictures, as you can probably tell. She was the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen!! We went to the Doctor on the 6th and she now weighs 12 pounds 3 ounces. She is in the 15th percentile for her weight. I can't believe how fast she is growing!! She can roll from her tummy to her back and is dilligently working on doing the reverse. Mommy and Daddy couldn't be more proud. She is so much fun and we are enjoying every second!!!

Happy Halloween!!! Her costume kind of swallowed her!

Despite adversity with every move, forging onward belly-down
She just pounded down a chili burrito & a pint of root beer...in need of digestion

Lilly Goes Flying

Well our Lilly just keeps getting cuter and cuter. She is getting more interactive everyday and it is so fun! Collin suprised me with a trip home and Lilly and I braved the airplane and had a wonderful time! The video at the end is kind of long...but she never has talked that much into the camera!! I was so happy to document it! So if you get bored skip ahead!! Alright, I hope ya'll enjoy. Halloween pics are forth-coming! Lilly and her daddy getting ready to go for a walk!
Smiley Girl!!

Lillian On The Move

Alright I stink at posting!! I swear I will try to be more consistent!! Sweet Lillian continues to grow and is the light of our lives. She is getting cuter and cuter by the day! I just put up a few pics and I will try to get a video up maybe tomorrow. The adorable dress in the picture below is from the Larson's (Aunt Jody I want you to know she got more compliments when she wore that dress, it is absolutely the cutest!!) Hope all is well with everyone!!! Enjoy!!

Smiles All Around

Okay so I (Liana) am attempting to post this week. We are really trying to repent of our lack of posting consistently!! Lillian just keeps getting cuter and cuter and we couldn't be any happier than we are right now. She is such a light in our lives. Over the past 2 weeks or so she has begun to smile alot. It sure makes your day when she smiles right at you! Alright, well I'm going to wrap this up...the little one is sleeping and who knows how much longer that will last. Hope you all enjoy!!! Pucker up!!
She is such an angel!
Such a flirt!! A long day in the car!!
