Strawberry Day's We Won't Forget!

Our Little Miss America!!!
Continue down the post to read why we won't forget this years festivities!
These two pics explain the day that we had!!!






This year's annual city celebration was really fun but just a little different then I expected! Wednesday morning was the baby contest and all the Miss Pleasant Grove Royalty girls that I helped in their Pageant this year were judging the contest! So I thought oh fun I will enter Cupcake and go say hi to all the girls! Now I have to say any of you that know Cupcake know that she is one of the happiest babies around! She rarely cries, she is always smiling and striking a pose for the camera, and is totally a people person! So, I assumed she would perform for the girls at the baby contest, especially cause they adore her and she loves them! We get there and of course it is during her nap time, and we are in the line (7-12 months) that is not in the shade for over an hour! But usually she does well without a nap and in the sun, but today was very different! Unlike her character she was totally fussy, not wanting to eat, play, sleep, and or do anything but be held and FUSS! So needless to say, she didn't win! But, the story does not end there! I got her to get to sleep on the short drive home, where Bailey (my cute cousin) and I were getting everything ready to go to the Provo Pool, with Melyssa and Maddie. We got to the pool and Cupcake was still asleep so we laid out, and took turns going down the really fun slides. When Presli woke up she was really happy and so I didn't think anything more of the morning except for the fact that it was hot and she was really tired. So we go get in the kiddie pool and Cupcake starts acting really fussy again and starts rubbing relentlessly at the top of her little head! I guess as a first time Mom you never really know what to do, when something abnormal is going on with your child, so after about an hour of her not digging the pool, which is so not like her, and a horrible rash starting to appear all over her body, I decided to take a visit to the Doctor! I came to find out that she had gotten a virus called Rosiolla, which is farely common in babies her age. Just a hint for you first time moms out there, it starts with a really high fever for two or three days and then the rash comes a day or so later, and they are contagious during the fever stage! So the doc told me to give her benadryll for the itch and to just let her sleep it off and she would feel better in a day or two! So we followed the doc's orders and she did start to feel better, and then the blow-outs hit! So, just as she started to feel better she got a really sore bum from all the dirty diapers that comes with the virus! Poor baby! So by the time we were ready to hit the Rodeo with all of Daddy's Friends, which was very fun, she was feeling a lot better except for her little bum! Needless to say it was all really scary, sad, tiring, and a whole new world of firsts for us! But it will be a Strawberry Day's Extravaganza we won't forget!!!

So Cupcake has been making a couple new faces this past week, I am not quite sure how and where she learned to make them but, I think they are so cute! The second face she is making usually is accompanied by the sound ooooh! She is getting to be so big and I am loving watching her grow and learn! We love her so much!

New Beginnings!!!




So we have officially started the summer!!! And of course only in the best fashion! First off we have a new addition to the Lindsay side of the Fam!! Georgia Ann Lindsay..........My uncle Scott and Aunt Melyssa just adopted a gorgeous baby girl Georgia! She is currently five weeks and we are all loving her! It's going to be so fun to have Hunter, Cupcake, Georgia, and Connor (who is coming in August to the proud parents Jason and Carina) so close in age they are all going to be the best of friends and we are having a blast having all these new babies in the Family. We also started the summer with two graduations! The first boy cousins in my family to graduate, Alex and J.T.!!! We are so proud of them and can't wait to see where life is going to take them and especially where they are going to be serving on their missions!!! Summer is so much fun!!!






Teeth, Crawling, and Daddy!

So if you look really closely at this picture you can half way make out two bottom teeth!!! Yea, she finally has teeth! It seemed like it took forever but they are finally sprouting! We have quite a lot going on in the Miller home between teeth and crawling it is has been crazy!!! Ok so I know I did not post a picture of Cupcake crawling but, I want to post a video of that because it is hard to feel the excitement in a pic, and I have not quite figured out how to do that! Anyway about two weeks ago she started attempting to crawl and within a few days was up and movin!!! It's so weird that something so small and so helpless can discover and learn so quickly! She has also started trying to pull herself up to a standing position, key word being trying! She does not always succeed which usually results in a bumped nose, head, bum! Seeing how quickly she has been learning and figuring stuff out I have no doubt that she will be mastering the skill within a week or two! And before we know it she is going to be walking! I can't believe how fast they grow!!! We love her so much and are so excited for all the craziness that comes with crawling...................and I am sure not too far off WALKING! Cupcake has been really loving on her daddy a lot lately! She still usually wants her Mommy, which I am very grateful for, cause I know that once she gets over that she is going to be a daddy's girl for life! But for now Daddy is loving it!

Oh How Time Flies!!!

So today is Our two year anniversary!!! Yea! I can't believe it has already been two years! It amazes me to think how fast the time has gone by! We have had so much fun the past couple years and I could not have asked for a better hubby!!! He treats me like a queen and most of the time I probably don't even deserve it! He is so thoughtful, loving, caring, funny, accepting, sensitive (in a good way), an amazing dad, a good cook, a wonderful dish washer, and an outstanding listener and that is hard to find in a guy, but most of all he is my eternal companion that I could not be more in love with and more grateful for!I love you so much and I thank Heavenly Father every chance I get for you and all that you are to me and Cupcake!I thought it would be fun to do the husband tag that I have seen all over everyone's blogs as a fun tribute on our anniversary!! So here it is!

How long have you been married? We have been married for two years today May 6th 2008, and we can't for all the many years to come!

How long did you date? We dated for a total of a year and a half! We met and started dating in December of 2004 and dated for 9 months before we got engaged in August of 2005! We were engaged for 9 months! I know some people think, and thought at the time, that we were crazy but I was still Miss UVSC and I was getting full tuition scholarship and could not be married while I was still the title holder so I could have given up my title and scholarship and got married sooner, but we decided that it was smarter to just be patient and wait til I was finished! School is expensive so it was nice to have a year of school paid for with a little bit of sacrifice!

Who eats more? He definitely eats more and its best that way! I usually make him eat whatever I can't finish! My own little garbage disposal it's so nice!

Who said "I love you" first? I am almost positive it was Him! I can't remember the exact details. If you ask him though he would know the exact day, time, and place! He is so amazing at remembering important dates and occasions like that!

Who is taller? He is taller of course, cause we all know I am a shorty pants!! He is 6'1 and I am 5'3 hahaha

Who sings better? I like to think that I do, but he is an incredible singer and also really musically talented! He plays the guitar (self taught) reads music and can harmonize like you wouldn't believe!

Who is smarter? I think he is much smarter!! He has the most amazing knowledge retention! You can tell him something and he will most likely remember it forever! Plus he is the fastest learner I have ever met!

Whose temper is worse? Oh for sure me! I don't think he has ever said a cross word at me or raised his voice at me ever!!! Plus for those of you who know me pretty well, you know that my temper is not one of my strong suits!

Who does the laundry? Mostly me, but he does a good amount and is really good at it! Sometimes he is even telling me what to do and not to do!

Who does the dishes? Again, mostly me, but he does them quite a bit and I usually don't even have to ask him! I have noticed that when he is upset or if we get in an argument he does them to calm down! Don't ask me why, its way funny but I am for sure not complaining!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well it depends on how you are viewing the bed! If you are looking at the bed than I do, but if you are laying in the bed than he does! It's all in your perspective!

Who mows the lawn? Neither! haha we live in a townhouse and so we pay an HOA fee and the yard work is included in that! Which I love but he loves to mow the lawn he says its relaxing! I know kinda weird!

Who cooks dinner? I do! But any night I don't feel like making dinner he always offers! And surprisingly he is a dang good cook!

Who drives when you're together? Always him! I am not particularly fond of driving! Plus I hate when the girl drives, its odd to me!

Who's more stubborn? For sure me! That is kinda my middle name, but he can have his moments!

Who's the first to admit they're wrong? Ya, know it used to always be him but his good habits must be rubbing off on me cause I think we are fairly equal now a days!

Whose parents do you visit the most? We visit all of them pretty equally! They all live pretty close to us so that makes it easy! The hard part is just that we have His dad, his Mom and Step-Dad, my Mom and My Dad and Step-Mom so Holidays are crazy busy! But I see my Mom a lot more than any of them!

Who has more friends? Oh wow this is a hard one cause we both have stayed in touch with a lot of our friends! He actually is really good friends with some of my old guy friends! They actually call him and not me when they want to hang out with us! Jeff, Ty, and Josh you are punks! We probably hang out more with his friends cause they get together a lot more often!

Who has more siblings? Well if we are counting in laws too he has 10 and I 5 so obviously him

Who wears the pants in the family? Well lets be honest with ourselves!!! Probably me, I am super bossy, I am getting better though haha! In all seriousness though, we both contribute to most of the decisions, all though he is a good Hubby and usually lets me have my way!!!

Honey I love you with all my heart and you are my best friend and always will be! Thanks for two beautiful years so far!!!
