My mom is going to kill me!!!

Well I did it again... I went brown! My mom gets so mad whenever I change my hair color... but I LOVE IT! She hasn't seen it and didn't know I was doing it, so I'm a little nervous seeing her again! I can tell you word for word what she is going to say to me, "JULIE, I prayed so hard for a platinum blond, blue eyed girl and LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO IT!!" As she is doing circles around me looking at the damage that is done! hahaha




But anyway I will also put up this funny picture of Anastasia, she is into this new stage where she has to sit up as far as she can and hold it. So today we put her in her swing and this is what she did while she was sleeping...

It was so dang funny and so dang cute... she slept like that for about 30 minutes and then she was asleep enough that we could move her back. She is such a funny little girl! I can't believe how big she has gotten and how fast time has gone! She is already 3 months old!!! It is very exciting but at the same time I am SO SAD!!! But everyday gets more and more fun with her! I love her so stinkin much!

GO AGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pink

As you can see this blog has alot of pink! I wanted to take advantage of this wonderful "holiday" that is coming up, and I can do as much pink as I want and Mark can't get mad! YAY FOR PINK!! haha

Holiday Season

I know this is long past due.. but this holiday season has been very busy. We had a very fun and eventful Christmas and loved having a baby with us, even though she had no idea of what was going on. It was still fun and we had tons of fun with family. We also got to talk to my little brother Nate who is on a mission, that was fun to hear from him again and talk to him for a minute. Here are some pictures from the Hirst Family Party that we had up in Kamas.

We had a very fun and exciting Christmas and New Year, We are looking forward to this New Year and watching Anastasia grow.

Fun Weekend

Well this past weekend we had the chance to bless Anastasia. We were also lucky to have Mark's two sisters fly in town and share it with us! We had a fun filled weekend. We did alot of fun things and got to spend alot of time with Kristi and Kimberly! It was so much fun to have them here and we look forward to seeing them again soon.

The first thing that we did on Saturday was go up to Portage to visit Mark's grandparents and had a huge family party up there. Then Sunday we had the blessing and then went and saw the lights on Temple Square. The lights sure are pretty this year. It was amazing to me that someone has the patience to put up all those lights!

Here is Mark and His Mom and Grandparents with Anastasia.

Our new little Family!

Almost the whole Chandler family...

I love this picture of the temple.

This weekend was alot of fun and I am grateful for my cute little angel that was given to me. I am also grateful for my families that I have in my life! They are such good examples to me and always are so positive and willing to help anyone. I am really blessed and lucky to have such great families. The one thing that I am so grateful for is Mark, he has been so wonderful and great to me and I am really lucky to have him in my life!

I was sad to see Kristi and Kimberly go, but I can't wait to see them again soon! We love you guys and had a blast while you two were here!

Thanksgiving

Well I can't believe how fast the holidays have come again! It is wonderful, but man where does the time go? This Thanksgiving we went up to Kamas and spent it with the Hirst family. It was a lot of fun and it was so much fun to spend time with my family and just relax and hang out all day long... So i took a few pictures and thought i would share them.

This is the normal craziness that goes on in the Kamas house when we gather!

She looks alot like Grandpa PJ

This is my Brother Jeff holding Anastasia and I'm holding Anna!

Here is Cute Anna and Anastasia, they are only 5 months apart. This is the first time in Hirst family to have two girls the same age! We are low on the girl count, it is 9 boys to 4 girls.

She loves her Daddy!

All the kids wanted a turn holding their new cousin!

Her cute thanksgiving outfit!


She loves her bouncer!

I can't believe that Anastasia is now a month old yesterday! Time does fly, and i have loved every moment of having her in our home! She is such a good baby and she is always happy and never cries! She is getting very big and more alert every day, it is great to watch a baby grow and develop! Thanksgiving was alot of fun to have another person in our family, we are very grateful for every thing we have and I don't know if I could ask for more! I have been given so much and I'm very thankful for it!

Almost three weeks...

Well we got some cute pictures taken, Jan(my sister-in-law) came up from St. George and paid us a visit and took some pictures of Anastasia. I'll put up some pictures that she took and then pretty soon we will have more to put up as she grows more.









I can't believe how fast time has gone since she was born. It still seems like I just had her yesterday, she is a wonderful baby. She never cries and just is a sweet and happy baby all the time. We are so grateful for her, and to be able to be given such a wonderful gift. The whole pain of having her and going through labor wasn't that fun, but I'm very glad it is over and she is here.

Anastasia

She is finally here. Anastasia Chandler finally made it on October 30th. I know this is a short post, but here are the pictures that have been requested. Enjoy.

More will be posted later as the adventures continue.
