Addiction

  So Cheznie is a very fun baby. Everyone seems to find something different that she likes. My mom and Adam find a lot of movement keeps her happy. I have found the swing is one of her favorites and a must at our house. The binkie is also very important in our lives!

  But Adam and I have found the best thing and Cheznie is addicted to it. I saw this mobile online and it was kind of expensive ($30 for a mobile is a bit much for us) but I loved it so much that we budgeted for it and I finally ordered it. It is like a regular mobile with the canopy and music but it will shine a moving picture on the ceiling also. So when we first introduced this to Cheznie she watched it for quite a while and just smiled and cooed. But the wonderful thing about this is that it has continued to be a favorite for her. She loves to watch the animals go around and talks to them and smiles. It is the best investment we have made yet I think.

  Now here is some fun stuff we have been doing lately. For everyones birthdays this year my parents took everyone to Lagoon. We like to go when it has Frightmares because of all the haunted houses. It was tons of fun and the lines were not all that long. Except the night before I sprained my ankle at my brothers house. The porch step is a little dangerous if your not paying attention! But I could walk on it and it just hurt when using stairs and it was quite swollen for a few days. So the night before going to Lagoon is not a good time to hurt yourself.

   The picture below shows us standing in the longest line all day and it was for the train(the only thing Cheznie could ride). My mom and dad dont really ride too many things and so they watched the babies and children as needed. The Frightmare things were a little trickier.  Mom was off with Payton and Crystal while the rest of us tried to go through the haunted houses but not to have to take the babies in. So we would all stand in line, the strollers included, then when we got to the front a couple of people would stay and the rest would go in. Then we would come out and switch with hopefully the person able to go in right away. We went up until the park closed and then went out and had sandwiches at the car. I think Adam and I were one of the very last people to leave the parking lot.

  Also pictured below is Stacy taking both babies so the rest of us could go on Rattlesnake Rapids and get completely soaked! Thanks everyone for the fun and helping to watch Cheznie.

This is Cheznie with her new cousin Quinn. She is 2 1/2 months older than her and looks so big compared to her. But then again Cheznie was never that small.

  Now for some sad news! We will be moving to Vernal, Adam got a job up there and he actually is starting that today. I will be in Moab for a few more weeks until we get an apartment and I get everything else squared away. It was so sad to see Adam leave yesterday and since he could be working 6 days a week I am not really sure how often he will be able to come home. I will go up as often as I can but I watch a little boy a couple of days a week and we still have vending machines for a little while longer. But I am excited for this new adventure and a little better job.
