Happy 1st Birthday Miss Lilyanne

Wow where has the time go. My baby turned one on May 3rd. We had her birthday party on the first lots of friends and family were able to make it for the party. We had a bbq. She was tired and took a half an hour nap the day of her party. But she was a trooper and stayed awake the whole time. She wore her first birthday onesie but refused to wear her tutu. She enjoyed hanging out with her friends and being held my family and friends. She wasnt that big of a fan of cake. She got alot of fun stuff mega blocks,bath toys,an outfit,hairbows, and snacks from Grandma and Grandpa Stevens.


















Lilyanne had her 1 Year Well Child Check on May 5th. She weighed 16lbs 8oz and is 28 inches tall. The doctor says she is small and needs to gain some weight. So we are working on that. She still naps twice a day one two hour nap around 11 and an hour nap at 4. Lilyanne loves eating cheerios. She enjoys playing with her toys and not toys and says "ball." She rolls to get places. She spins around on her butt. She likes walking holding on to our hands. She loves getting out of the house. Lilyanne loves to be held.

Christmas Recap

So my brother Casey came from Montana to visit. We spent time playing games and we even went to the mall. I really enjoyed seeing him. Christmas Eve we enjoyed a Chili dinner at my parents house. Christmas day we went over to the inlaws to watch the kids open presents. I hand out the presents and Dan takes pictures. Lilyanne recieved a cloth book. I recieved Pink Perfume from my sister inlaw Michelle and my secret person Dans parents gave me money so Dan and I could go on a date. Dan recieved an electric blanket from his secret person which was Tim. Then we headed home and opened up gifts at our house. Then went back to the inlaws and enjoyed dinner with them. Then we spent time with my family. It was a wonderful Christmas.

Family Pictures

Thanks so much Sarah for taking them! I love them!

Merry Christmas From the Jutras Family

So I had Lily get her picture done with Santa on the 16th of November so we would not end up waiting in line forever. She wasnt sure what to think of him. She didnt smile,or laugh or cry. She just put on her serious face.



Dan went with his sister Michelle to cut down our tree, his parents tree and also my parents tree. I really need to go with him one of these years to do it.

Happy Halloween

So our week was spent at home. Since Lilyanne and I were feeling under the weather. Halloween Lilyanne did not even get to Grandma & Grandpas house to show off her costume. We will have to do that this next week. The good news is we are starting to feel better. First I want to share a picture of Dan and Lilyanne that I took before going to a wedding on October 24th. Last night we handed out candy and watched Charlotte's Web. Lilyanne was an adorable Ladybug.

Heather and I have even managed to make it to a quilt shop and squeeze in some sewing. Yesterday we made it a girls day and headed to Cannon Beach and Seaside the weather was perfect for soaking up some sun. Dan sent me a text telling me it was snowing at home.
