I want to go...

Home.. To TVA # 235. I want to be in my ant infested apartment and be sandy, sweaty, and sticky! Ohhhh Hawaii I want to be there. I beg David everyday to go back. He said maybe in a few years we can move back for good!!! I sure hope. I do love being in Utah with family but there is just something about hawaii! So lets just all move there!

Rolling

Indie has mastered rolling over. She first rolled over right before she was three months and I was shocked. She then just kind of gave up on it and would do it here and there. So video taping it was always a challenge. Now when she is laying down all she wants to do is roll over. I love that she is learning so many new things. I feel like my little baby is gone though. I look at her newborn pictures and she was so small. Now shes my little ball of energy and fun. I can't imagine my life with out her. We just love her so much.

Zoey Jane Watts

Zoey is here!! And she is absolutely adorable. She has sooo much thick black hair like Indie did! I love it. Makes me miss Indie when she was first born. David, Indie, and I went to visit Jeremy, kim, and Zoey, but Indie couldn't go in the hospital so David and I took turns with her in the car so we could see Zoey. We sure love this little baby and we are happy she is here! I can't believe how big Indie looks and feels compared to Zoey!

Happy Halloween

We had a pretty good Halloween weekend this year. On Friday I took Indie to Davids work for some trick or treating. David dressed up as a Hippie and he looked pretty funny. I wish I would have taken a picture. He was a little embarrassed to ride trax to work that morning. Indie looked adorable in her Jack-o-lantern costume. On Saturday we went to our ward trunk or treat and we ate way too much chili. It was really good and we saw so many cute costumes. There was another little girl who was born a couple weeks before Indie who had the same costume. On Halloween I new David would get home from work late so I made homemade chili and cornbread and we just went to the gym. David really wanted to hand out candy but as soon as he got home we were upstairs and the door bell rang and David booked it down stairs to grab the candy and realize his pants were undone and open since he was changing for the gym, so he zips his pants up and fixes his belt to open the door to find no one. And so we waited a bit cause he wanted some more kids to come and no one came so we left to walk to the gym and all these kids were coming around and David said, "should I go home really quick and give them candy?" hahah I told him to just go to the gym cause it was getting late anyways. But after reading the news I'm glad we didn't hand candy out. And I plan on just leaving a bowl out in the years to come. People knocking and getting slashed in the face with a knife or people knocking and then shooting the person when they open the door! Geez what is our world coming to? Well all in all it was a good Halloween weekend. Looking forward to Thanksgiving now! Excited to see the family.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to this cute little pumpkin patch by our house. They have tons and tons of pumpkins everywhere, a little corn maze, a few goats you can pet, a wagon ride, and a little farmers market. We walked around and took some pictures and looked for our perfect pumpkins to carve. I made Indie a cute little Halloween tutu and put her Halloween tights on so she looked cute and festive. I love this time of the year when all the holidays are coming and we can enjoy lots of treats and hot chocolate. I'm not looking forward to the snow but I'm hoping this year it will be a shorter winter and we will have more summer to come. I can't wait to be able to take Indie swimming next year. But until then I will enjoy the cooler weather and enjoy not driving to work in the snow this year!

More videos

I'm so happy that I found our little video camera thing. So now Mom/grandma can watch all the videos she wants, and I can have them to remember how little and cute Indie is. I have been blogging a lot more lately because I want to remember everything about Indie. I feel like my pregnancy went by sooo fast and I didn't document it as well as I should gave. I have some pictures and I wrote in my journal but I really want Indie to be able to look back at her life and see everything she has accomplished. We just love this little bundle of joy and can't imagine life with out her. She really has been the best baby ever so far. We have never once had a night where we had to be up with her. She sleeps and only wakes up to eat and then immediately goes back to bed. (knock on wood) We love love love her. Thank you Indie for being such a wonderful baby!! These videos of Indie are taken sideways because when she can see me taking pictures or recording her she stops talking. Indie will lay in her pac-n-play and just stare up at the ceiling and smile and talk to an angel we assume, but she does it numerous times a day. Any time we lay her down in there she gets so happy and talks. And we have footage of her sucking her thumb, I know I will probably hate it later in life when I'm trying to get her to stop but as of now I think it is just so adorable.

Fun at the aquarium

On Wednesday David surprised us... He took the day off. I woke up at 6 and was freaking out because David was still in bed asleep. He should have already been gone to work. So I woke him up and told him he was late and that it was 6 o'clock. He just said its not 6, and I kept telling him to look at the clock. After I got upset and said fine be late then, he said hahaha I took the day off. So we went to an aquarium with our good friend Kaitlin and her daughter Maleah. It was a cute little aquarium that was actually really neat. I would see it every time I went to my Dr's appointments when I was pregnant but I didn't think to much about it. We really did enjoy it and Indie slept almost the whole time we were there. It will be fun to take Indie back when she gets older. And kim, Bowen would love this place.

I survived the aquarium!!

Indie being cute

Here our some videos of Indie being cute, and so the grandparents can see her!!

Indie Girl

Indie is getting bigger and learning so many new things each day. She is so alurt and loves to smile, laugh, and coo. I love talking to her and her responding back with her little coo's. Indie is now 3 months (where has the time gone?) She got her first round of shots a month ago, and I did not enjoy that. I felt so bad for her. She has been doing awesome with tummy time. She loves it. The weather is now getting cold so Indie gets to be bundled up when we go out side. She will start crying and then when we get in the car I take her sweater off and she is just relieved and instantly stops crying. Here our some cute pictures of Indie and her just getting big! Shes 14lbs now! Indie is also our little thumb sucker now. I have tried to get her to take a binky but she refuses. She just loves her thumb so much. I don't mind cause in the night she will wake up and start to cry and I will watch her stick her thumb in her mouth and fall right back to sleep. Plus its just soo cute.

Dad and Indie Golfing.

David really likes golfing and he has been golfing a lot lately. He would go every weekend before Indie was born and I told him he wouldn't be able to go as much once she was born. So David decided to take Indie golfing during the week when he had a day off so it would be slow on the course. David pushed Indie the whole time in her stroller while Joyce and I used a golf cart! haha. I think they both enjoyed it and David can't wait to teach Indie how to play. And I love the pictures of David holding Indie. She is just such a cute wonderful baby!

Ohhh How I love this Baby!

Indie has been the best baby ever! Not that I have any other babies to compare her to, but she is just perfect. I just can't get enough of her. It still blows my mind that I have a baby! I feel like I'm a baby still sometimes. (which I'm sure David would agree with) Indie has the cutest little personality already. The other morning I was changing her diaper. I got her all clean and was putting the new diaper on when she pooped, it was like a rocket! It shot out all over her, me, and the blankets! The cutest part was that she giggled after she did it. It made the fact that I was so tired and looking forward to going back to bed ok that I now had to get up and wash my self off and change the bedding. ;) Plus I'm sure she felt so much better after that. I'm looking forward to watching her grow and see her personality change. We love you baby Indie.

Leaving the hospital and Indie was smiling.

Baby Indie

Baby Indie is here!! And we are more than excited to have her. We just lovvvvveeeeeee her so much. I can't believe how amazing it is to have such a special little spirit in our family.

My baby story..

So I planned on having a natural birth since I found out I was pregnant. I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect so I didn't know if I could handle it. On July 11, 2011 around midnight I started having contractions. I didn't know if it was really happening or not so I go up and walked around the house for a bit, I couldn't sleep through the contractions so I took a bath. After my bath i made myself something to eat and then I went to wake David up. By this time it was around 3 in the morning. David started timing my contractions and they were all really inconsistent. They were anywhere from 2 to 6 mins apart. So I went and watched some TV. By 6 o'clock I was in more pain. David called his work and told them he wouldn't be coming in. We decided to go on a walk with the dogs and I would have to stop during the contractions to try and relax from the pain. Once we got back in the house I wanted to eat some cereal and that's when the contractions really started hurting. David called our Dr. and he told us to stay home for a bit, but I was in to much pain so he told us to come in. When we got to the hospital I was dilated to a 5 so I was pretty excited. I walked around the hospital and even hung out in the hot tub for a bit. The pain got more and more intense but I just told myself that and epidural wasn't an option for me. I really didn't want one. The Dr. would come check on me and I was finally dilated to a 9.5 and he broke my water; nothing came out until after the babies head was out because she had dropped really low and was blocking it. I pushed for an hour and I can't express the rush and awesomeness that I felt while pushing. At the end it didn't even hurt. I would just push and push and this overwhelmingly feeling of joy rushed through my body. The head was finally sticking out and the Dr. was playing with Indie's hair and asked if I wanted to feel her. At this point I said pull her out! I was so ready to be done and see this beautiful baby. Indie was born at 3:16pm and I was more excited and felt so accomplished that I did it drug free. I feel that Heavenly Father really did bless me with an easy labor. I thank him everyday for my beautiful baby girl. David was also an amazing help and I know that I couldn't have done it with out his support, encouragement, and massages.
I will post more pictures!!

Richard Robins

David was very lucky to have such a wonderful man as a father. He will be greatly missed by a lot of people. We are so happy that he is now reunited with our Heavenly Father and he is free from pain. I am so grateful for the plan of salvation and for the knowledge I have because of the gospel. I know that we will be united again one day and we will be able to spend all eternity together with our families. Until then we will continue to live the gospel daily and share this message with those around us so they too can experience this peace of mind. We miss and love you Richard. Thank you for your generous heart, and for all of your love and support.

The Big News!!!

I am Pregnant!!!(for those of you who don't know yet) And were very excited about it. I am 14.5 weeks a long and the baby is healthy and sooo cute. I love ultrasounds. I have been sooooooooo sick, well I was in the first trimester. But I am feeling so much better and actually have quite a bit of energy back. My belly is getting "fat" I don't look pregnant yet but I look fat. I can't wait until I can feel the baby and see what it looks like. We are hoping for a boy. I want to name him Indy Thomas Robins, but we will see how that goes. David still needs some more talking into for the Indy part but Thomas is Davids middle name so that will stay. But we are super excited and can't wait. His due date is July 15th. Wahoooo. Here is a picture of a 15 week old baby. Since I will be 15 weeks in a day, and a picture of when our little baby was 10 weeks.
