Just had to share

I found this website as I was browsing last night and I think its amazing. Its blurp.com. With this website you can turn your blog into a book. You can edit out posts you do not want to include and add more photo's if you wish. I am so excited about the idea, this is truly the new wave of scrapbooking at least for me. Prices range from 12.95 for a 40 page softcover book to around 90 for a 400 page book. I am so excited, I started blogging at the beginig of June which means my goal is to blog all the missing pieces for the months of January-May so that I can order my 2008 blog book at the begining of next year, so look forward to more blog posts lol!! Check out the site for yourself, let me know what you think!!

I am Thankful for...

I saw this on a blog as I was searching for something this afternoon and I just had to steal the idea. The person posted one thing they are thankful for each day up until Thanksgiving. So since I am 10 days behind I am going to post 10 things I am thankful for. I will update this post for the remainder of the month, up until thanksgiving, so if you are interested, please continue to check it out!!
Day 1:
I am thankful for my husband because I know that even when we get into tight spots we will also be able to work it out. He is thoughtful, caring, and hardworking and I appreciate all he has done for our family. I am thankful that he is always looking for more ways to spend more time with our family. I am also thankful that he enjoys the traditions and costumes of our religion and culture as much as I do.

Day 2:
I am thankful for my daughter Liliana. I am thankful that the Lord blessed us with a beautiful daughter. I am thankful that she knows how to continually make me smile and appreciate the little things in life. I am grateful that she enjoys to cuddle and is a good eater. I am thankful that she enjoys to dance, play and learn. I love her dearly.

Day 3:
I am thankful for my family. From my parents to my brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, brother in laws, father in law and nephews. These people all have special places in my heart. I know that we do not get together as often as we should but when we do we make sure to make wonderful memories that feel our hearts and homes forever.

Day 4: I am thankful for my friends. To my friends here at home thanks for always making time for me. Whether its a spare of the moment trip, or a phone conversation we share, or a trip with the girls I am thankful for all the memories made. I know that I can pick up the phone and count on you. To my friends in Idaho, thank you for making me a part of your families. To my June mommy friends, thanks for being the ears that listened and gave advice, when I needed it.

18 month Checkup

Liliana had her 18 month check up today and she weighs 28 pounds and is 32 inches long. That puts her in the 90th percentile for weight 70th percentile for height and 99th percentile for head circumference. The doctor gave her a clean bill of health and she received her shots, she cried a little, ok a lot but now she is doing well!! It so hard to believe that she will be 2 in no time at all.

Another Sign My baby is growing up

Latley, Liliana has been wanting to eat at the dinner table with us, so I came to the realization that it was time for a booster seat. Here are a few pictures of her sitting in her booster, getting used to it. I still have yet to take one at the table. Enjoy!!

My little girl is growing up so fast and like I said wanting to do everthing just the way we do. My mom had taken off her shoes and before we kne w it Liliana had tried them on. Here is a video clip as well as a photo of her plating grown up:
