Lauren is on a Roll!

Last Saturday I was getting Lauren ready for bed, and I had read about baby massage so I was giving it a try. I rolled her over on her stomach so I could massage her back and usually she isn't one to want to lay on her stomach, she usaully cry's the second I put her on her belly! This time she thought it was pretty cool being on her stomach (maybe because I was giving her a massage!) but she laid there nicely and didn't cry I just propped her up on her arms so her face wouldn't plop into the bed. After I was done rubbing her back she all of the sudden started to roll to the right!! I didn't think she was going to roll but after her head started the proccess her hips just followed! I was so excited, and I put her right back on her stomach and she did it again! So I called Erik and told him to bring me the camera, but he didn't understand why it was so cool that she was rolling over. So once agian I put her on her stomach and she rolled again; but this time to the left! So I do have it on camera, but I can't figure out how to put it on here yet. Then she got sick of it so we stopped for the night. Then Sunday morning I was back at it agian, I put her on her stomach and she rolled :) Her head plays a large part in the rolling over process, because once the head hits the floor everything kindof follows! Lauren hasn't rolled over much since then so maybe I over did it for her, but still... SHE CAN ROLL! When I showed Erik's little brother Steven that she could roll over he was like so! HAHA boys just don't understand what a big milestone it is!!
Here are some pictures of my happy girl on her belly!
Tuesday night my sister-in-law Aimee asked me if I would take Kynlee and Kaya to the Spooky Story Night at Cowley Elementary because she had a Silpada Jewlery Party. So I said of course I would take them! All of the kids were supposed to wear the pajama's, so Lauren wore her pj's too! It was really fun taking the girls, there were a bunch of different stations and you stayed at the station for 15 minutes.
I can't wait for Lauren to be in school so I can take her to all the fun family night activties, because the kids love it and you get to interact with adults as well!
These are pictues before we went to the school. Kaya is feeding Lauren and Kynlee is posing beside her!

The girls are doing tummy time with Lauren!
Last but not least.. Tuesday night Erik called me and said find someone to watch Lauren in the morning and we will go hunting. I asked what time we would leave and he said around 6. So I am racking my brain of people I could call and ask if they would want to even wake up at 6 to watch Lauren! Of course Shannon said she would love to (because she is the best cousin EVER) and I got everything ready to go hunting. I didn't have a clue where we were going, and Erik told me we wouldn't be walking much and we wouldn't get cold. So I got two layers of clothing for my legs and 3 for the top.
Wednesday I woke up and got myself ready and got Lauren ready to go to Shannon's (by getting ready I mean put her in her car seat!) Steven came over and we were out the door. We dropped Lauren off and we were headed to the Mountains. So when we got to the foot of the mountians it was still dark but we could see that it snowed. When we got farther up the mountains we could see that it snowed A LOT! But the dedicated hunters we are, we kept plowing through! We were half way up the mountain and saw a truck stuck on the side of the road. We stopped, but couldn't help him because Erik didn't have a rope. The guy had been sitting there since 10 pm the night before, and the snow plows that had gone by that morning didn't have ropes either. But they man was very positive about the situation and wished us luck as we left. As our journey continued we had no luck of seeing any bucks, we saw a lot of doe's. So Erik thought he saw some big bucks up on this hill and so we started up the hill. Now from the truck it didn't look like a very long hike, but when you start walking through the tree's and Erik keeps saying when we get out of the tree's the buck's will be right there. Yeah we walked, and walked, and walked in knee high snow and when we got out of the tree's the bucks were not there!! But it was still fun, I was completely out of shape, the boys kept stopping and asking me if I was ok, and after I caught my breath I would say yes, and we would move on!
We didn't come home with our record book pig, but we did have a good time!
When we got home and went to get Lauren this is what we found!!
Shannon takes such good care of my baby, and dolls her up every time she watches her! I LOVE IT! Shannon has had a little more practice with fine baby hair so she was brave enough to do the pig tails! Lauren got a manicure AND a pedicure as well while she was at Shannon's!

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that!

Once agian there is nothing to exciting that has happened lately but I wanted to post something so I will just make something up!
Erik still hasn't shot the prince of the forest so he is hunting, sleeping, eating, working and hunting! He is now scoping out a place for me to hunt since rifle season has opened up in lovell! So he is pretty busy!
As for me I am doing a little subing here and there. I have mostly been in the preschool at Cowley which is really fun, and not to hard! The kids are so funny, they were calling me Mrs. Basket so we decided Mrs. Lacey would work better!
Lauren is becoming more interacitve with us and it is so fun to play with her now! She really knows how to use her voice, and it is so sweet when I am driving she just talks and talks and talks!
Here are some pictures of my little Lauren..
This is her first ever pony tail! It is kind of hard to see, but I think you get the point! Her hair isn't to long so the pony tail sits high on her head, so she looks more like a unicorn (but a very cute unicorn!)

I just thought she looked so sweet, she feel asleep while she was eating! If you notice her finger nails, they are painted!! Shannon watched her one afternoon for me while I subbed for the preschool and she painted Laurens finger nails!!
This one is just a close up :)
Here is Lauren playing with Erik! She is ticklish and she is trying to laugh, but she can't get it out yet!
Her new love is her fist! She can't harldy keep it out of her mouth !
