Carrots

So I tried to give Vic carrots tonight. Not so much after every spoonful she would gag. It was kind of funny, but by the time we were finished I think she was wearing more than she ate. UMMM it's good mom...

Not another spoonful please...

This is her gagging...

All gone or all over...

I know what you are all thinking now that you have just looked at all these pictures. Wow look at ERIC. She is a spitting image of her daddy. I tell Eric he just spit her right out, there is no telling she isn't yours. From the hair line, to her ears and she even got his nose.

St George and Mesquite

We went to St George this weekend for our yearly trip to Fireschool and we had to hit the road to Mesquite and test our luck. Victory and Wes were so good, The slept almost the whole way down with only one stop to eat and to play for a minute or two and then on the way home they slept all the way until we hit Payson, Santaquin area! Lex and I were so proud. We even stopped in Beaver for treats and bathroom break. Here's some pictures of our eventful weekend.



Lex and I with the babies. Can't really see them but wanted to hide them from the sun.

Jes and Justin the next morning after Mesquite style partying!

Jared trying to enjoy his breakfast. We decided it was breakfast at the Virgin from here on out!

This is cute little Wes, supporting Fireschool, in his fireman outfit!

And my baby girl, getting so big.

Meeka and Vic

As many of you know I sold my house and I've been crazy busy getting everything packed, and trying to find a house and working plus playing mom and dad by myself. I was downstairs packing up the tv room. I laid Victory down on her play mat and this is how Meeka reacted.

Ben

This good looking fellow was called on a mission to Riverside Cali. We are so proud and

excited for him, But we will miss you Benny!

Vic and Wes

We were in Wyoming this weekend and Wesley started to cry, Victory turned over to him and started holding his hands. She was totally telling him "It's okay Buddy, I'm right here!" The kicker was he stopped crying after she was touching him.

A lot of you have asked why the name Victory.... Well first if you have ever seen the TV show Lipstick Jungle and the cute little Vietnamese girl or maybe she is Asian? I don't know anyway, her name is Victory. It's kinda cute. Well that's not where her name came from but that is the first time I've heard it.

We were deciding on names with the family and Eric said well if it's a boy we should name him Victory, because a lot of people name their boys Harley after their motorcycles. Well I didn't like the idea of my boy being named after a girly name so we decided we would name her Victory if she was a girl after her daddy's motorcycle.

But Uncle Justin thinks her name should be because her daddy is trying get get us a Victory with serving his country. So in a way her name has two very meaningful meanings.

It's so amazing how your life changes with just one small little person. She sure makes you love life more and makes you believe in wonderful miracles. I never would have thought that a small little creature, (who looks just like her daddy) could make your heart swell. I love being a mom and I love having my little family.

Victory got to try her first bowlful of Cereal the other day. She loved every bite, and when it was gone she wanted more.

I love this picture. Meeka hates when Vic gets attention so I put her under the Christmas tree to watch the lights and Meeka wanted to snuggle. Vic loves to try and grab her hair.

We have quite the story to tell... Daddy came home for his two week leave from Afghanistan and Mommy's cervix wasn't ready so the doctor wouldn't start here. But Eric flew in on the 4th and my water broke on the 5th and after 16 excruciating hours of labor and only pushing a total of 8 times here she is. Perfect!

Victory Michelle Solie was born on Sept 6th 2008. She is mommy's pride and joy. And daddy's little princess
