Locking family blog: January 2012

So sometimes in life there are downs but mostly ups!! you know i have learned though, that sometimes having downs in life is a good thing. cause it just makes us stronger. not saying downs are fun. but i always feel like after a down moment or conflict is taken care of i always just feel a bit better in a way because i feel like getting over and through things is a sign of strength. sometimes i feel it is important to have those not so good moments. but after if im sad the best thing i do is go hold or kiss my little princess and i know that all the work put in getting through things is for her!!

honestly there is nothing in the world better than knowing you have done something amazing for your child. its weird, like i swear! lillie always knows when mama needs a pick me up. or a good cuddle. its cool. cause shes so small but she can just sense when something is wrong. and she always just puts a smile on my face!! even when i feel like i would rather stay sad or want to cry i just cant when i have my babyy!!

which brings me to another thought. it amazes me that there can be soooo much love from soo many people to one little being! its amazing to have soo many people caring about my little girl!

those are my random thoughts for the day!!

Sooooo it has kinda been a while since I posted here!!

Since last time we have had Christmas and new years and some other exciting news!

WE GOT A NEW CAR! its a 2012 ford focus! super nice little car! we are soo pumped! and the Malibu sold!

sooo great!!

we also had a family photo shoot! which i will put some pictures up later in the post!!

Christmas was pretty swell! it was Lillies first! so that was super fun I think for mostly me, as I wrapped EVERYTHING on its own! so I got to open them all up for her! but she fell asleep! haha so that was funny! We had Christmas at our house with everyone here! we were only missing Jen and Sean-Paul, cozy and Everett! which was sad! but we still had fun! but MAN IS IT ALOT OF WORK! I only had to make one thing as we spread the duties out to everyone! but there is still sooo much work hosting a Christmas! but it was good non the less!

SO now in the new year I have Trevor home for a bit before he goes back to volker! which is great! he is spending as much time with Lillie as he can! and he is just the cutest with her! he sure does love him! and she sure loves her daddy!! he is soo good to her! with everything that we have had to go through with her it is soo nice to see him staying calm as I'm the one freaking out and comforting not just me but her so well!

I have really got my piano and voice lessons moving i have 9 students! which is so great! i am really enjoying spreading the joy of music to little kids! it is great!

And that's pretty well everything that has happened since last post!! we are just laying low enjoying being together as a family! and getting to do things all together! like lillies favorite new thing is swimming and bath time! so even if it is just watching her go NUTS kicking in the bath we love doing it together! and watching her learn new things!

She has got really great at smiling and even is starting to giggle! which is super cute! she grabs things and will also stand up! (with help of course!!) shes an amazing baby really! she is just soo laid back most of the time! i mean don't get me wrong she has times where she just needs her mommy and i LOVE that feeling! there really is nothing better than having your baby want you more than anything! sometimes she plays shy now! but we will have to see how far that goes! like she really doesn't like waking up and being somewhere else where she doesn't know where she cant see Trevor or i, and she doesn't like waking up to other people getting her. she has her own personality! and it is great! she is really reminding me look wise of myself when i was a baby! so that's funny to!

so theres a fast and little up date on the family!!

here's some recent pictures!
