Anniversary

So today was mine and Joes 4th anniversary! Wow, time sure does fly when your having fun, right! First of all, this morning we went to the Body Wrap and Joe got a massage and I got a facial. It was great! Then we went to an early movie and dinner at our favorite restaurant Carabbas! After we picked Keelie up from Joes parents, we went to Bahama Bucks! It was such a good day. It was fun being able to spend all day with Joe and not have to worry about anything else!Here are some pictures of when we were dating and engaged, and one on our wedding day.I thought it would be fun to reminisce about how we met. Well we did go to high school together but I never got to know him because we didn't really run around in the same circles, eventhough we were in the same group for Christmas formal our junior year. He went with my good friend Ashlie. Then in December 2003 I was hanging out with some friends. (This was about 6 months after he got home from his mission.) I caught my friend Tiffany sneaking away to go meet some guy at the bowling alley and she asked me if I wanted to go. I said yes, so we both snuck away. When we got there, there was like 4 other people with them, and somehow I sat next to Joe and we started talking. After we were done bowling we were all outside deciding what to do next. We couldn't think of anything so we decided to call it a night. On our way home Joes friend called Tiffany to see if we wanted to go watch a movie at Joes house, so we did. Later on I came to find out this was the plan the whole time but they didn't want all the other people to come, they just wanted me and Tiff. We watched How to Lose a Guy In Ten Days, one of my favorite movies. No we didn't kiss that night. Just a little cuddling! Then a few nights later we somehow ended up at the bowling alley again. Joe went through a little bit of a bowling phase. Him and his friends went bowling ALL the time. He even bought his own bowling shoes! This was the night when we really hit it off, and from then on we were inseperable! Joe proposed to me on April 2nd, 2004 at the old look out point on Hawes rd. I wonder if its still there!? There is probably houses up there now. We were married June 25, 2004. Our life has been great ever since. The only thing that could possibly make it even better is our little Keelie Jo. I love my little family so much, and I am so blessed to have such a great husband!

Nap Time

Lately it has been alot harder to get Keelie down for a nap than usual. Mainly because she has been teething again. Yes, thats right, she had 3 teeth before she was 6 months old! And I think she might be getting a fourth because she is drooling alot again. Anyways, when she won't let us rock her to sleep, we will try and just lay her down in her crib and get herself to sleep. That used to work until Joe started making that play time. As soon as we lay her down she flips over to her back and starts kicking and smiling real big and getting really excited. Then Joe puts her blanket over face and plays peek-a-boo with her. She absolutely loves it! She cracks up! If it wasn't so darn cute I might get a little annoyed. So when that doesn't work one of us (usually Joe) will lay down with her on the couch and take a nap with her. I'm not sure why, probably because she likes being close to us, but she sleeps so good this way! I think it is the sweetest thing to see Joe and Keelie napping together so I had to take a picture. I love it!

Memorial Day Weekend

Every Memorial Day we go up north because Joe plays in the Show Low softball tournament. The first time we went was before we were married and I am betting that we will go every year until Joe is too old to play. This year was weird though because it was so cold. It even snowed on us a little bit. I was also really excited because this was Keelies first trip to the cabin.
This is Keelie and her cousin Hailee that is one year older. Hailee can't wait until Keelie is big enough to play with her!
Here are all of us wives cheering our husbands on. A big thank you is in order for Sunni Goodman, Kristin Goodman, and Tara Fischbeck who jumped up to help me when Keelie had an explosion with poop up to her armpits. It was so gross! I felt so bad for Keelie though because we had to strip her down and clean her up with wet wipes and it was sooo cold and windy. I wanted to get a picture but I didn't have a chance and I had poop all over me too. It was definately a four person job! And of course this happened when she was wearing a white onesie with pants that were white with stripes . The good news is that none of it stained! I just bleached the onesie and used spray n wash on the pants. I really contemplated just throwing them away at first. So glad I didn't! All in all it was a fun trip. But hopefully next year it will be a little warmer!

Keelies favorite treat

Keelie is at such a fun age now. She just stares and watches us eat. And if we are holding her while we are eating, she tries to grab our food. We have only given her a taste of a few things. Usually desserts, though. She loves otter pops! It is so cute to watch her grab it. She knows exactly what to do! It looks like she is going to have her mothers sweet tooth!

Teeth and Baseball

About a week and a half ago Keelie was drooling like crazy and constantly had her hands in her mouth so I looked in her mouth and I saw that her two bottom teeth were coming in! It totally caught me by surprise because she wasn't even 5 months old yet. The next few days she was a little fussy but for the most part she was really good. But I hear that back teeth are painful, so I am not looking forward to that! And yes, this is the best picture I could get of them!
These next pictures are of Joe coaching baseball for Mt. View. They lost last week in the state tournament so their season is over. They had a great season and were the #1 seed going into the tournament. I had alot of fun watching all the games. Keelie also loved it. I would sit her in my lap and she would just stare. And then when people would clap and cheer she would start laughing. It was sad to see them lose but I am excited to have my husband back! Joe is the one in the middle of the picture just to the right of the guy in the blue shirt.
This is Joe coaching first base. Isn't he so cute in his uniform! The picture didn't turn out very good because of the net from the backstop.
We were at Joes parents house on Sunday and I looked out the window and see Joe playing wiffle ball while holding Keelie. He hit, ran the bases, and pitched all with Keelie in his arms. I know he can't wait until she can walk so he can start teaching her how to play!

The BIG 2-6

Well last Tuesday the 22nd was Joes birthday. I didn't forget, I was just waiting so I could post some pictures of him, but we don't have very many on our computer, so I was just going to take some random shots but that never happened. So this is over a week late, but better late than never, right! He had a baseball game that day so we went to a late dinner. We went to Gecko Grill which is one of our favorite restaurants. It was so good! It was also our first date without Keelie! We left her with Joes parents. It was actually kind of weird without her! But it was nice being able to spend some alone time together. Well I hate it when people get all cheesy and mushy on their blogs so I will try not to be too bad. I just have to say that Joe is the best husband and father ever! I love him sooo much, and I hope that he had a great birthday!

4 Months

Wow, its been awhile since I have posted. Keelie is 4 months old now. We had her doctors appt. on Friday. She now weighs 13.3 lbs. (50%), and is 24 3/4 in. (75%). Such a big girl! She is doing all sorts of fun things now. She can roll over both ways. As you can see in the picture she has discovered her tongue. She also discovered her toes and love to suck on them!

Joe loves this picture. That is his Toro baseball hat. He is already teaching her how to pitch. We started giving her rice cereal the other day. As you can tell she doesn't like it very much. I'm sure she'll get used to it though.

She has also figured out that she always has a bow on her head. It either ends up over her eyes, or she eats it. Keelie is the sweetest, funnest baby and I love being able to spend everyday with her. This stuff probably isn't as interesting to anyone but Joe and I. But she is our life and pretty much all we ever take pictures of! Sorry if I bored you but how can you not smile when you see this last picture!
