Karlie taking her turn at the Pinata

Karlie loves the bath. She has learned how to splash her hands, legs, and feet now, and it's quite entertaining to watch and she doesn't even mind the water going all over her including her face. Her favorite blankie's are these hand made ones from family, she loves to curl her fingers through the holes and have it close to her face. The other day her toes were sticking through it as well. Whenever I put any kind of hat/headband or really anything on her head she tries to pull it off, I stuck this crazy one on just for fun and she kept smiling like she new it was silly. She is 6 months and 21 days today! We love our Karlie Girl!

Where we've been...

This is what the Turner's have been up to in the last month + in no particular order:
rolling over from front to back but not back to front because the front is not very fun, trying rice cereal when it's convienient, 2 trips to SLC to see cousin Paige at Primary Children's Hospital, ate hospital cafeteria food, watched a really awesome Lightening storm,woke up to a TON of snow, showed Karlie rain for the first time, walked the mall with a lot of really old people, shopped too, visited Jared at work, brought him lunches, visited with an old friend that we met while walking, refurbished a free hot tub that was infested with mice, got a little too obsessed about checking Craigs list for a good deal on a crib, called a bunch of strangers about buying their used crib only to find that they had sold it weeks ago, drove to Logan and ate Maddox, went swimming and played motor boat motor boat, played with all the cousins, played gutair hero, ate at Rupes, visited Grandma's and Grandpa's, celebrated St. Patrick's Day a day late, started wearing 6 month clothes, watched American Idol, got our tax return, bought my own crib, fought about money stuff, took naps, worked on projects, cooked a couple of new things, played a musical number at my parents' singles branch, watched Beverly Hills Chee-WoW-WA, picked out A dress out of Karlie's many to wear for Easter Sunday, and lots more!!!!

Prescription

So, the other night Jared insisted that I sit by him while he types an e-mail to a pharmacist friend at 11:30PM!

jared: how do you spell prescription? Is it p...r...e... or p...e...r...???????????????????
jill: you are not asking me that (as I'm walking out the room), good-night.

It reminded me of the doctor's note I received at work, for a participant, from an OB/GYN that had spellled Gynecology; Gynodology on all their PREscription pads and business cards. My co-worker friends and I laughed and made fun of that one for days. I guess it is one of those things where it looks like it's spelled wrong after seeing it so much...or something.

On another note, here is a cute picture of our babe, she is already 4 1/2 months...soooooo cute!

At the Movies...

Manly Projects

Here are a couple of things that we've been up to lately. First of all, Jared decided (I was surprised) to finish the family and craft rooms in our basement, way sooner than we had both expected. At first, I was nervous because of paying for it, but now I'm excited for a few reasons. 1. Karlie and I will have another place to go in the house, I think she gets bored of me throughout the day, and LOVES visitors. 2. My neck hurts from watching our TV that is mounted way to high. 3. I can leave all my projects in my craft room instead of moving them from one place to the next trying to hide them when company comes over. Beside our basement we printed and mounted some updated photos for our wall. It turned out great and we were also able to print out a vinyl saying on Jared's mom's criket machine. It's a good thing Jared's around to do all the manly work of it all.

Jared did all the wiring with a few helpers

Jared is looking at our wall wondering how the heck am I going to do this ????

So...this is how he decided to do it

He's lucky he didn't break his leg, or I'm lucky he didn't break his leg, one of the two!

The finished product! NICE WORK HUN!

Okay...I did it

So, I finally did all the fancy stuff on our blog in case you didn't notice. I was repremanded by a certain someone who I will not name (NPR), and my poor baby has been neglected all afternoon. But apparently just a monthly post is not enough for some, maybe if there is something pretty to look at it will make it seem like I post more :) My aunt had this list on her blog and I really liked it so I'm passing it along to you, thanks DiDi!

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received..Forget about the rude remarks.

Christmas in Review

I mentioned on my previous post more blogging to come and I've been wanting to post some pictures from Christmas so here are the highlights from the season and the pictures to go along. (Just a side note) One of my new year's resolutions is to carry my OWN camera and take my OWN pictures. We usually forget it or we take it but forget to get it out and have to get pictures from everyone else. Hence the delay in the Christmas post ... this might be kind of long :) Sorry!

Our new Shelf Reliance (thanks mom and dad Turner) and all the food to go in it ( thanks mom and dad Bergeson) Are you sure you didn't plan this?

And last but not least Happy New Year!

Jared planned a festive party with tons of food...lots of people...and mostly fun!

We were excited to see our neice Paige on New Years as she has been in and out of Primary Childrens (but mostly in) since the day after Thanksgiving and she and her mom weren't able to be around much for the holidays. We hope she continues to get better and think of her everyday. If it wasn't for staying up until 3AM we would have started out the new year right!

WE ARE SO BLESSED AND HOPE 2009 IS AS GREAT AS 2008!
