I'm back!

I am finally back from my long and needed trip from Utah. I think that 2 1/2 weeks was long enough, for me and for Cory. He's cute a cutie, when I walked through the door he had bought me some flowers and wrote the cutest note ever! Because it's just that cute I have to put it on here:

"Sweety pie, I'm so glad your back! It was so tough being apart when we were engaged but it was so much harder now that I am so much more in love with you! I never realized how much you motivate me to be better in every single aspect of life. Without you here I had a hard time waking up, cleaning, exercising, doing homework, and I shaved even less if you can imagine. As corney as it sounds you make life worth living and I am so ready to come back to life! Welcome home I can't wait to have your pretty face to come home to every day! I love you so much! Love, Your Hubbie"

While I was gone, Miley was able to learn a few tricks!! She can finally sit up and roll over one way! My mom was a big help trying to get Miley to sit up on her own, thanks mom!

I do have a lot of pictures from my trip and now from coming home. It's a ton, sorry!


The new Easter bunny!

Lori and Parker! I finally got to meet him. He's such a good lookin guy, good job Sid and Lori!


My best friend Kristy. She just came home from serving her Mission in Australia! She was an awesome missionary!

Here is Miley sitting up!

Oh a flower! I caught it just in time before it went straight to the mouth.

Krystal and I together before we said goodbye for a year and a half! She told Cory and I that when she returns that I had better have another baby or I better be pregnant! We'll see what we can do ;)
These are my grandparents. I was so glad that I was able to spend a few days with them while I was in Utah, I hardly get to spend time with them since I've gone away to college. I use to spend hours with my grandparent every week cleaning there house and eating lunch together. Thanks for all those chocolate raisins Grandpa!

These are the lovely flowers and note I received from Cory when I returned. What a sweetie!

Utah Trip

This past week in Utah has been very fun, and I still have another week left here! Cory's sister went into the MTC this past week and had a very nice experience taking her there. My best friend just came home from serving her mission in Australia, and it's been very nice spending time with her. My older brother just had a baby, so while I'm here I finally get to meet the little guy! My sister is pregnant with her third, so it's fun seeing her big and round! Also my younger brother got called to serve his mission in the Guyana, Brazil mission...so I have a lot of hello's and goodbyes to do while I'm here! Phew!

So Cory is still at home going to school, and I feel so bad leaving him all alone. When I talk to him he seem so lonely :( 2 weeks is a lot longer than I thought!
But now were even because during his boards and finals week, I barely saw him.

I wont be able to put my pictures up until I come home, but luckily my sister-in-law emailed me a few.
Farewell Krystal!
I love this one! Good job Sarah!

6 months old!

I can't get over the fact that our Miley is already 6 months old! She learning to sit up and roll over, and she's teething right now! Not fun. She's super fussy when she's awake, I can't believe how much she sleeps! She sleeps 14 hours straight during the night and then 4-5 hours during the day. I have no idea why she sleeps so much! But beside the fact that she's fussy, we love her and get a kick out of her funny new sounds and laughs she makes. So we had an eventful month. Besides not seeing my husband for like a month because of boards reviews, boards, and then finals...we had a lot of fun!

Cory's sister Krystal got called to serve her mission in Southern Texas, Spanish speaking! So she came down for a weekend trip to say goodbye before she left. Sadly, she came right in the middle of Cory's board tests, so he didn't get to see her very much. :(

That next week my parents and my younger brothers came out for there last family trip before my brother Spencer leaves on his mission to Brazil! We had a lot of fun with them, as always. We walked the Golden Gate bridge, walked around the Golden gate park, ate at fisherman's wharf, stayed a night in a bed and breakfast suite in SF, went to half moon bay, walked around a light house near Santa Cruz, and then hitted up a flea market! Whew what a weekend. Miley surprisingly did pretty good...except when we walked across the bridge. She just wasn't having it. Luckily Cory's sister lives right by the bridge so we took Miley there for a nice, badly needed nap! We don't know what we would have done if they didn't live there and if they weren't home!

Here are a few pictures of our fun month.

Cute cousins! Aunt Krystal bought these cute jammies for us! Dallen and Miley really look like they could be twins. Whenever were out in public with them a lot of people think that they are.

Happy birthday Krystal! Since we wouldn't be able to celebrate her birthday with her we surprised her with an early birthday cake. (Thanks Jessica for the recipe...it was a hit!)

Typical Cory, always out exploring. He found these treasures out on the beach this last weekend. He thought his parents would laugh at this picture because it describes him very well as a kid. I didn't think it was very funny when he decided to scare me with the crab, I screamed and it made Miley cry too. :(



So...I gave Cory the job of giving Miley a bath and then putting jammies on her. I came up stairs to check on their progress and this is what I found...Cory gave Miley a mohawk. She does have a lot more hair in the mohawk area, so it's pretty funny that he spiked it up with lotion. It took me a few days for her hair to go back down.


Smith family walking the Golden Gate bridge. Surprising it was a lot longer than we thought it was, so it was a good thing that we didn't bring Miley with us!


Our Chinese Baby. She developed this funny cry, so we had to get a video of it before she outgrew it.

25 things that you didn't know about me

25 Things that you didn't know about me...

1. I am extremely flexable. I am also double jointed in my arms, hips, and back. It's pretty gross if you've ever seen me do my 'tricks' 2. I LOVE to dance! I have danced my whole life, and am going through some serious withdrawls right now.3. I am obsessed with my daughters eyelashes, how did they get so long?...Wait, I know that answer; from her daddy's extremely long lashes!4. I was attracted to Cory a year before he even met me.5. I am a complete ditz. I've been told that I am by many people. (dancer make the best ditzes)6. I am obsessed with the smell of 'Irish Spring' bar soap. I could seriously eat it every time I take a shower.7. I love jewerly, make- up, hair products, and clothes. (what girl doesn't)8. I've never been a fan of soda pop, everytime I drink it I burp like crazy all day long.9. I HATE beans! (green beans are okay) My whole life I would feel like throwing up at the smell and sight of beans. Poor Cory is trying so hard to have me like them.10. I have always wished that I could tan, I sadly have my dad's floresent white skin and freckels. The only time in my life that I was tan was when I was a lifeguard at seven peaks. Hopefully Miley has Corys tan skin.11. My favorite color is pink. I am always drawn to pink clothes, and I have to remind my self that I have a million pink things already.12. I love to clean, wierd I know. I love just putting on some good music and just go to town!13. I love to cook. My favorite is making something that Cory enjoys so I can get lots of praises. My dad always taught me 'a way through a mans heart is through is stomach'....and it is definatly true.14. I get exctied when Miley poops, I think it's so cute watching her push it out :)15. Christmas, Valentines day, and birthdays are my favorite! Mainly because I'm excited to see what Cory got me.16. I am not good with secrets. Don't ever tell me anything, especialy when it comes to presents....but tell me, I love secrets at the same time.17. I suck at math. The only way I pass any of my math classes in high school and college was through extra credit.18. I hate doing perms. I did a million of them in beauty school, and decieded that I would never do them....well unless someone paid me really well ;) 19. I miss my long hair, I do love my new short and sexy haircut...but I miss my long hair. (I think Cory does too)20. I married the most amazing man in the world. It takes most women years to find the perfect man, and I found mine in less than 3 months.21. The little Mermaid is my favorite movie. Ariel was my idol growing up, I literally wanted to die my hair red and I would wrap towels around my legs to make fins.22. I am constantly humming. The funny part about it is that they are songs that I make up as I go. Cory laughs at me when I do this.23. I am pretty proud of my labor story. My water broke at Outback resturant and then 2 1/2 hours later...out can Miley :)24. I like to gleek on Cory after I yawn. This started when we were dating, and it's just stuck. I don't know how I figured out I could did this.25. I am a horrible napper. I love napping with Cory because we get to cuddle, but I never end up sleeping. I have so many things on my mind.

Miley's first swimming lesson

I had come across a very cute swimming suit, and needed and excuse to use it before she outgrew it! I found an indoor pool and made the plans! We think Miley had fun, she kicked and kicked the whole time! Were excited to take her swimming again!
She was still a little small for her floaty tube, so we had to hold her up from the bottom.



Video of our fun night!


I made this cute little duckie towel for miley and we had so much fun wraping her up in it!
