Getting bigger every day!

We went to Lella's two week check up on Monday. She is now 7 lbs. 3oz. and has grown 1 1/4'' already. The doctor said that she is doing great and is perfect! She has got some chunky cheeks. I think she will fill out here pretty fast by the way she eats.

She sure likes her sleep at night. Instead of struggling to get her to sleep at night, its the opposite. I struggle getting her to wake up to eat. She will eat for about 5 min and then she's out. Its an ongoing process during the night. I wake up 2 times a night to feed her. We had one great night where I fed her at 10:30 that night then she woke up at 3:45 and then didn't wake up till 7:30 that morning. Hopefully we have more nights like that to come. The doctor said that she is getting enough food during the day so if she wants to sleep through the night then just let her.
It is so fun having her in our home!

Lella has had lots a visitors. We have had people in out of our house every day. Its really nice to have the support and love from family and friends. Thank you every one that has brought meals and gifts by. We are really blessed to have great people in our lives. And to have this beautiful girl come into our home. We couldn't ask for a better baby!
This is Tyrell's best friends little boy that is 5 months old. He makes Lella look really tiny!
I think these kids were the most excited to see little Lella! They just couldn't wait to come visit and hold her. I'm going to have some good babysitters when she gets a little older.

Our new addition!

This is me as we are walking out the door to go to the hospital. I'm not looking to good. I was in pretty bad pain. But excited that our little girl would be with us soon!
Lella Michelle Simpson -Born April 25th at 8:07 P.M 6 lbs 10 oz. 19 1/2 in. long

When she came out her legs were just like this, straight up in the air. She is such a funny girl. She still does this when we have her legs not covered up. She loves to stretch out.
Ty didn't get much sleep while we were at the hospital. The last night we were there he went home that night and slept. He had class that he had to go to so he wanted to get at least one good night.
This is Lella coming home from the hospital. She was so little for her car seat and still is.

4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!

We watch our neighbors 2 kids quite often. He is a single dad and a police officer in Logan. So when he works we watch his kids. We have been doing this since last October. It actually has worked out really good. They are good kids. Well this is one of them, Jessica. Saturday was here eighth birthday. I got up early and made her a cake. I didn't really know what I was doing so I just did my best. It actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would.

This is why we look forward to the 4th, is the CRUISE IN. For all you that aren't from around Logan area. The cruise in is held every 4th of July. Really old, and some new cars come from all around for this car show. It lasts 3 days normally and at the end is a big parade that is held on main st. The cars drive up and down the street about 5 times so that everyone can get a good look at them. Tyrell and I really like that kind of thing. Ty's favorite is looking at all the Chevelle's sense he has one of his own. By the way he brought it home so we can drive it around all summer. It's been fun to have.
These are some really good friends of ours. Tyler and Lacey. We love hanging out with them!


We got up early Monday morning and headed up Logan canyon to the wind caves. It was almost a 4 mile hike there and back. Perfect for me! It was a pretty cool view.

UPDATE!

So sense it has been so long since I have posted I thought that I would let everyone know whats going on in our lives.
We still live in Logan going on our 2nd year here. Crazy how time goes by so fast! Ty is in his second year of civil engineering and this semester is the hardest one yet! Poor boy spends all his time up at the school. But he will get through it!
I'm still working at Logan Physical Therapy. I can honestly say that I have never been able to say that I love my job until now. I really lucked out getting it.
Our neighbor right next door is a single dad that has recently recieved full custody of his kids. He is a police officer for Logan. So the days that he works we watch his kids. Its been really good for us and for him. We have really enjoyed having his kids around.
Life is good!

Ice Skating in the Park!

So the night started out with the boys getting a little energy out of there systems with a very serious wrestling match. Ty wanted to make sure that I added to notice how and it started, Ty getting the groove of things and letting adam his best friend feel really good about himself. Now scroll down to the next picture and you will see...

That it didn't last very long. Before you know it Adam is stuck and can't move. You go babe! Adam is such a sissy boy:)

The night continued on with us going ice skating in the park! It's pretty sweet with the view of the temple all lit up. Thanks to Ty's mother we have our own ice skates so it becomes a very cheap date. After, we went and ate at chili's with some other friends that couldn't ice skate because she was very pregnant. We went back and played games till late hours of the night. Thanks friends for making that one of the best weekends we have had in a while!

We ran in to some friends from the ward that night. They are such great people. It seems like we run into them all the time now.
