The months of February and March have been very busy for our family, it seems like we are always up to something....but who isn't.
Grandma Vegas came out in the beginning of February for a visit, she came to spend time with all of us not realizing that she would be the one taking care of Lindsey and her very sick daughter. I came down with a really bad cold and was in bed all 4 day's mom came to visit, thank goodness she was here and helped us out. I was sick about two weeks earlier and I don't think it really ever went away and so the second time I caught it, it was really bad. Finally about two weeks later I was starting to feel better. Unfortunately while mom was in town for her visit, we did not have the time to hang out and shop like we wanted too but things happen what can you do. Thanks mom for all your help with Lindsey while you were here, we really appreciate it.
We spent Valentine's Day home this year and decided to celebrate as a family. Rich brought me home a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a very nice card. I got him two cards, one from me and one from Lindsey and Cody, it was so cute it said "Daddy" all over it. We took many pictures of our princess in a couple red outfits to match the occasion.
We had more visitors come and stay with us in March. It was the four loving crazy Canadians, Uncle Allan, Aunt Heather, and Cousins Lindsay and April. They first stopped into Vegas for a day and then ventured out to Arizona for an additional 5 day's. They left behind lots of snow and cold weather to be in the warm and sunny states. We all had an awesome time, laughing....we laughed so hard we made our selves cry, we played several games of boci ball in the backyard, as well as played Nintendo Wii each night...what a competitive bunch we all are. Uncle Allan watched Lindsey while us girls went out shopping at the Chandler Mall, what a guy he is and I must say he did a fabulous job taking care of her, she was all smiles when I got home. The week went by so fast, we could not believe it. We were sad to see them go, I cried dropping them off at the airport I wanted them to stay a few more day's it was so nice having them here.
Lindsey is doing great, she is getting so big. She is going to be 3 months old already as of tomorrow Sunday March 16th, it is so crazy how fast this time is going. She rolled over for the first time this past Tuesday evening from her back to her tummy all on her own. We were all sitting in the family room watching TV and she started rolling on her side, she was just hanging out on her side and decided she wanted to roll over and was very determine she was getting mad and making grunting noise when she could not do it and then finally a little while later she made the turn. We were so proud of her and of course mommy or daddy did not have the video camera ready for her big moment so we waited until she completed it again the second time and now we have it. She has been sleeping through the night now (about 10 - 12 hours) since she was about 7 wks old we are truly blessed. She is also making nosies as if she is trying to talk it's so cute and loves to smile. Lindsey enjoys using her swing for naps, loves playing on her floor mat, likes playing with her monkey's and frogs in her bouncer and enjoys sitting in her stroller for walks or just hanging out in the backyard. So over all she is a good kid....just kidding she is an AWESOME baby we are so lucky and thankful for her.
Rich is extremely busy with work, he has been working so much and keeping up with the gym that we hardly see him during the week. Our weekends are our family times together usually but even then we have been so busy doing things on the weekends that we are none stop but trying to enjoy the time we get with each other. Grandma Sara was nice enough to watch Lindsey, cousin Elyssa, Kaylie and Madison today while the parents my self, Rich, Michelle and David went and played with our toy's (riding on our ATVs), we all had a blast and was covered from head to toe in dirt including our teeth it was quit funny. I recently had my first root canal done, not proud of it but was not as bad as I thought, I'm going back to my dentist next week to get the crown put on. I'm also starting back to work on Monday from home, I'm excited to get back in the real world again.
Well that is all for now, we love and miss you all very much and will keep you all posted on future events. I have also updated our web album from the last several weeks so if you have time check it out. We hope all is well with everyone, take care!!!
Lots of Love,
Chantelle, Richard, Lindsey and Cody
