Our Movie Star

Its been a little while since I last posted. So I figured I'd post the most recent pic of Brylie. We found these adorable pink little sunglasses for her at Children's Place. I was so surprised at how much she LOVED these things! She wore them for a whole hour at the park and didn't even try to pull them off her face! She's probably just so used to me putting bows on her head all the time that sunglasses are nothin'! haha.

Well, we have made it through the first year. Tyson and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary on the 24th of this month. WOW! where did that year go! A lot has changed since since we got married. Tyson got an Awesome promotion at work, we had Brylie and we bought a house!!! YAY! we moved into our first home on our Anniversary haha! It was the best anniversary present ever! Its amazing just how fast time goes by. Its been an incredible year and we can't wait for the next ones to come. Love you Babe! :o)

She is getting so big!!!

So Brylie is getting so big! She rolled over all on her own yesterday. We just put her on her tummy and she just kicked her leg up and pushed off with her arms and over she went! We have never worked with her on this before and all of a sudden she is showing off! She did it like 5 times in a row! Here is a quick video of her doing it a couple times. :o)

BIG UPDATE

Ok, I have a TON to write about. It has been forever since I have posted anything, so here it goes.... Brylie Suki Murri arrived on December 10th, 2009 at 1:39pm. She weighed a whopping 6lbs 1oz and was 19 inches long. She was SO tiny! I loved her the second I saw her! I had a very easy labor. I went in to the hospital at 4:00am and and they started me on pit and broke my water at 7:00am and I was 3cm dilated. The contractions started and they didn't hurt at all! Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy because the contracts were going off the scale! After a couple hours of just uncomfortable contractions I decided to get my epidural. Why be in pain if I don't have to!? :) at 10:00am they checked me and I was 6cm dilated and moving a long great! Another 2 hours went by and my Dr came in to check on me and said that I was 9cm and ready to push! YICKS! she said that she would be back in about 30 minutes... and hour and 15 minutes later.. she returns and I start pushing. 3 pushes and my beautiful baby girl was born! It seemed so unreal to me when I got to hold he for the first time. I think I was in shock or something cuz I couldn't even talk. They took her and cleaned her up and Tyson recorded the whole thing. The second that I saw him craddling our daughter in his arms, I lost it! haha. I started to cry. Her little cries made me cry even more because they were so cute! haha.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the day she was born. She is so snuggly! All she wanted to do was jus snuggle into her mama. That's the best feeling in the world! Even now she is still very cuddly and is very content just laying her head on my chest and just sitting quiet. She sleeps with me because I am not ready for her not too yet haha. We are so blessed to have her and Tyson and I can't get enough! And she sure loves her Daddy! While I was on maternity leave and Tyson would come home from work, he would come say hi to her and she would put all her attention on her Daddy just smiling and talkin to him. Tyson would always say that she was tattle telling on me haha. She is definitely a mama's girl tho. Tyson will be holding her and I will be on the other end of the couch and she will hear my voice and look for me. Tyson will try to turn her away from me but she just keeps trying to strain her neck to see her Mommy! I love it! I had no idea what an incredible thing it is to be a mommy. I wouldn't trade anything for it! She is such a happy baby, but she sure has her Daddy's temper haha! Its really funny to watch her get frustrated trying to such on her binkie.

This is the first time Tay and Brylie got to see each other. Tay was just content layin next to her little "sissy"(as Tay calls her). Tay is so good with Brylie. When Brylie cries, Tay is the first one to run to her and try to give her her binkie so she stops crying. She is a great big sister, jsut like we knew she would be. She hasn't really had any problems with sharing the lime light. No jealousy issues or anything. I think that she would rather hang out with her sister then us anyways hehe. :o)


We put Brylie in Tailynn's dollhouse to just how tiny she really is! She is such a good baby! she has the best personality. Always happy and only cries when she's hungry, has a dirty diaper, or wants to sit in her swing. She is obsessed with her swing! She will spend hours in there a day being as happy as can be. She likes to take her long afternoon naps in there. We say thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for getting this!! :o) She is such a good model for me. I try to take as many pictures of her as I can and she never cries while I'm fussing around with her. And she is a champ when it comes to wearing bows. I'm sure it helps that I have put them on her since she was 4 days old hehe. She will thank me when she's older because they cover her cute big ears... that just so happen to by mine and not Tyson's! haha. Tyson says that we have elf ears cuz they are pointy at the top.... Thanks hun! : /

I have been so lucky because she has been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old! Yay! so I never really had sleep deprivation, which I'm sure Tyson is thankful for. haha. She has the best smile and has been cooing for about a month and a half now. It is SO cute! She likes to tell us long stories. And the stories start the second I walk into the door of her babysitter's. The second she sees me she give me a big huge smile and starts her talkin. I like to think that she's tellin me how her day was and how much she missed me. :o) I It is such a good feeling to know that I am that important to her. There is no feeling like it. I couldn't imagine my life without her and am so thankful that Heavenly Father chose me to be her mommy!

I am SO excited because she has my blue eyes!!! Thats all I wanted her to have. I knew that she was going to look like Tyson but I wanted her to have my eyes. Then it looks like I had at least some small part in this haha. They are getting brighter and brighter blue everyday. So I am really excited about that! YAY!

Time definitely goes by so fast! She is already 3 months old now and I don't think I'm ready for it. Pretty soon I am going to blink and she will be a year old. I have enjoyed every moment I get with her! Even on those rare nights where she is really fussy I find myself just being thankful that she is in my life. There is nothing better than being her Mommy! Now I am back at work and missing her terribly! My favorite time of day is 3:30 when I can leave and go pick her up. And when I walk in the door of the nanny's Brylie knows and smiles the second she see's me. Tyson makes fun of me and says that I am obsessed. Honestly! how can I not be?! Look at this face!

Almost Here!

So, it has been a long road! I am now 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant and have had 2 false labors. One at 37 weeks and one at 38 weeks. I am ready to have my little girl in my arms. And now to find out, that I have PUPP. Its a skin rash that women seem to get in the last trimester with their first pregnancies. Not all women get it, but guess what, I have the worst luck and I have it! Its terrible rashes and hives that have started in the middle of my tummy and have justt spread every where! I really think that it is worse than the chicken pox! But anyways. My due date is in 2 days and we haven't had any more signs of labor starting. My Dr said that if I show up at my appointment, which is on my due date, then she will induce me Friday. SOOO!! I will have a baby no matter what in 4 days! I am so excited! I can't wait to meet her! Tyson is super anxious too. He keeps asking me why I can't just hurry up and have a baby! haha. It was really cute last night he told me that he was excited to meet his new daughter. It completely warmed my heart! OH! and we have a name... FINALLY!!! Brylie Suki Murri will be joining us very soon and we couldn't be more thrilled! Hurry up my Brylie Girl!

Waiting Game

UGH! SO I thought that I was in labor last Friday, actually, I bet that I really was and then my little girl just decided to change her mind. lol. I was having contractions consistently for well over an hour and they were getting stronger when I walked around. I went to the hospital and was still contracting like crazy, then they told me to get up and walk and ended up having even more contractions. When I got back to the room they had me in, the contractions all but stopped. They became less intense and farther apart. So needless to say, after being at the hospital for almost 6 hours, they sent me home. I have been having contractions since then, but with not consistency. I just want to see my baby already!! This waiting game happens to suck a lot! I have done everything I could think of or have researched to get things going. I think that I have gotten more exercise over the past few days by walking then I have in my entire life! And I had someone recommend Red Raspberry tea to start contractions, yep... nothin'! My little girl is as stubborn as her daddy! haha. This is frustrating just waiting. It probably wouldn't be this bad if last Friday hadn't happened. But I had that little glimpse of hope and excited, and now I am going crazy just wanting her to be here already!

Our Little Bumble Bee

I just had to post this! Tay was a Bumble Bee for Halloween this year, and she was probably the CUTEST Bumble Bee that I have EVER seen! She had so much fun Trick or Treating! She got so much candy too! I think it was because she was so darn cute that people gave her more candy! :) She was so good too! She said thank you and had such good manners. Everyone in our neighborhood said that she had the best manners that they had seen out of all the kids that had come to their doors. So of course they gave her more candy for being polite too! It was really funny, she went up to someones door, said "Trick or Treat" got given candy then said thank you and started to walk away, and the women told her to come back and said that because she had said thank you, she got to get another big handful of candy. So Tay said thank you again and waited for the 3rd handful haha! She caught on really quick on how that all worked haha! We had a blast taking her out! I will have to see if Tyson can help me put the video of her Trick or Treating up here to show everyone. Cutest Bumble Bee Ever!!!

In the Home Stretch!

I haven't written in a while, so I figured that I would update everyone on how things are going. Well, I'm still pregnant! but that is a good thing since we aren't due until early December haha. The baby moves all the time now! I swear that she does back flips and kung fu in my tummy every morning! She now wakes me up in the mornings with her fidgets :) But I am in my third and final trimester! I can't believe how fast all of this has gone! We are starting to get ready for her arrival and we couldn't be more excited! Tailynn seems like she is more excited then both Tyson and I are, if that is even possible! All she talks about is her sister and what she is going to do when her sister comes out. She is already very protective of her little sis. She yells at the dog if he jumps up on the couch next to me and puts his paw on my stomach and says "NO ROCKY!!! YOUR GUNNA HURT MY SISTER!" She even yells at Tyson when she thinks that he is being rough with me haha! great big sister already! We went thru all of her clothes this weekend and found some of her old baby clothes that I decided to put up for the baby. She was just ecstatic that her sister was going to wear her old clothes! I think that she would have given the baby all of her clothes if it was up to her! She is starting to help around the house by putting away the cutlery from the dishwasher and every time after she finishes she announces to us that she is a "Good big sister helper!" She cracks me up! She has really made waiting for the baby even more fun than I thought it would be! I have pretty much figured out that I won't have to buy the baby any clothes for the first year or so of her life! A lady that Tyson works with just had a baby and she is constantly giving us big bags of clothes! Thanks Erin!!! :) I now have so many white onezy that I think that I could justify them being disposable! haha! OH! I almost forgot! Tay started pre-school! She is growing up so fast!! I am going to have to find something to make sure that this baby always stays little! haha! Tay is getting quite the little personality too! Tyson had asked her to hand him the remote that was only a couple feet away and her response to him was. "UGH! DAD! You're lazy!" hahaha!! That comment had us cracking up for a while! I told Tyson that he couldn't be mad at her for calling him out! She makes our life more light and fun! Can't wait for the other one to come along to join the fun! We still don't have any names picked out yet. But I do have to announce to everyone that my wonderfully stubborn husband..... *rolls eyes* said that he won't veto every name that I bring up to him, and that I can name the baby and he won't put up a fuss. BOUT TIME!!!!! :) Love you Hunny!

ITS A GIRL!!!

So we finally found out today that we are going to have a baby girl! YAY!! We are so excited! Now I have my own real life Barbie doll. :) I am excited to be able to put Bows in her hair (Supplied by my wonderful sister-in-law Darci!) She is starting a Bow business! Tay went with us to the ultrasound. She didn't quite understand what the pictures on the TV were, and then she heard the tech ask if we wanted to know what we were having. And when Tay heard it was a girl, our wonderful, sensitive girl said, "I didn't want a girl! I wanted a boy!"haha But I think that she is getting used to the idea that she can play dress up with her sister. Everything with the baby looks wonderful! We got to see that heart and spinal cord and all of the baby's limbs! It was very cool, especially when we got to see her little hands! She is definitely Tyson's daughter, she was a squirmy little girl! She kept movin' her legs so the tech couldn't get a clear picture of her. And when it came time to look at the head, she was stickin her tongue out! haha! So we already have a little Pickle on our hands! We are so excited! I can't wait for these next 4 months to come and go! I feel her kickin' around in there a lot now! And I think that I have felt her kick on the outside of my stomach. So that was pretty cool! Now that we know its a girl, its time for the tough part, a name! :)

I felt it!

So I felt the baby move today!! It was a quick little flutter but it was definitely something that I have never felt before! It was amazing to thing that my baby is inside me movin' around! We also went to the Dr's yesterday and heard the baby's heart beat! I have never heard a heart beat so fast! And the Dr's said that it was good and strong! We will find out if we are buying pink or blue on July 20th! We are so excited!!!! I am 16 weeks yesterday. I can't believe that I am already 4 months pregers! It has gone by so fast!

Happy News!

Ok, so we have been keeping a secret for about 13 weeks. YIP! you guessed it! We are going to have a baby!!! We found out 7 days before the wedding and have kept it a secret since then. We finally told our families this past weekend. Everyone is SOOO excited!! We also had our first Dr's appointment last Thursday and they did an ultrasound! You could actually tell that there is a baby in my tummy! The Dr says that everything looks great and that I am on schedule for a due date of December 9th. We are going to have an incredible Christmas present form Heaven this year! We are so excited!! It was our big surprise for the year. Tailynn was the first person we told and she is SO excited to be a big sister! We asked her if she wants a boy or a girl. She said a boy so that she could be the big sister. Then we asked her, well if its a girl, what will you be. She got very quiet and you could just hear her mind going and then all of a sudden she goes,"I dunno!" haha so she doesn't quite realize that she is a big sister no matter what. All she ever talks about now is the baby. The first thing she asks me everytime she sees me is "Is the baby out of your tummy yet?!" We tried to explain to her that the baby was going to be here in Decmeber, but how do you explain time to a 4 year old. So we said that the baby will be here when Christmas comes, so then she thought that Santa was bringing the baby. HAHA it is so funny how her mind works. She finally understands that the baby is in my tummy and going to come out of my tummy when its Christmas time, and not coming on Santa's Sleigh. She likes to touch my belly all the time too, to see if she can feel the baby yet. Tyson is very excited too! He is so funny, he sleeps with his hand on my stomach now. I am so blessed to have a wonderful supportive husband to take care of me thru this. It has been a little nerve racking thru this whole thing. Being a first time mom is exciting but at the same time it makes me nervous. I will have to scan the untrasound photo and post it on here. It is too funny! Everyone is pregnant around me too! My best friend Alicia is pregnant and we are only about 8 days apart. And she is actually due on my birthday! And then my step sister is pregers too! She is about 6 weeks along right now and is due at the end of January. Who's next?! Don't drink the water! haha. Well my next Dr's appointment is on June 30th and we find out if its a boy or a girl! We are so excited! We are hoping for a boy, but both of our families don't know how to have anything but girls! We are going to start picking out names as soon as we find out the sex. I'll write again soon to update on any fun facts or anything! :)

The Wedding

So I have a lot to write about since its been a while. The wedding went fantastic!!! We were married on Friday April 24th at 5:30pm. It was so beautiful! It was totally the wedding that I had dreamt of. Tyson looked so handsome standing at the end of the isle. I just wanted to run and tackle him! haha And Tailynn looked so beacutiful! She was the cutest little flower girl EVER!!! She did such a good job walking down the isle too. She threw the flowers like she was supposed to. It was so funny we had Tyson's nephew, Adler be our ring bearer and he wouldn't hold Tay's hand down the isle. Isntead he started punching the ring bearer pillow. I didn't get to see it, but the pictures are hillarious! It was so much fun! And almost all of Tyson's family was able to come down for the big event. Once of the happiest days of my life! I got to marry the man I love more than anything! How cool is that!!!?

Stress

Well, it has been pretty stressful lately. We have about 10 days until the wedding. So many things are going on all at once. I'm just glad that Tyson and I can keep our heads straight thru all of this chaos. I am so excited that we are almost there. Then no more wedding stress, no more budgeting, and no more planning! YAY!! I am very excited to be Tyson's wife. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Tho it has all be stressful it has all been worth it. We are going to be together forever! And I can't imagine another man I would rather spend that amount of time with. And I am so lucky that he picked me to be his other half. Only 10 more days to go....thats it.

Engagement Photos

Here are some of our engagement photos that didn't make it into the invitation.

Our Story

We met on April 24th three years ago. We became very close very fast. Immediately it was like a fairytale. The whole forbidden love, yeah that was us. We had opposition coming from all sides. But we made it through. We have been happily in love ever since.

Then the big day happened on February 17th, 2008

Tyson planned out the entire thing. It was like it was straight out of a movie. He surprised me on Valentines Day and said that he had booked a hotel in San Diego. We get to San Diego two days later, and to my surprise, the hotel was right on the bay! We could look outside our window and see the ocean. It was incredibly beautiful! So, about an hour before sunset, we take a walk around Sea Port Village and the bay. We find a secluded pier where the water was literally within reach. Because it was so cold and windy out, Tyson was holding me close to keep me warm. And right at sunset, he turns me around and says that he has one more surprise for me. He gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring! "Will you marry me?" He asks...and me being the sensitive person that I am, proceed to answer with, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!" I was in utter shock! I coudln't believe that the man I am completely in love with asked me to be his wife. So of course I said "Yes." Right at sunset on the beach...just like in a movie.

Now here are some funny questions about us that I answered.

What is his name? Tyson Michael Murri

How long have you been married? Not married yet. We are gettin hitched on April 24th 2009! YAY!!!

How long did you date? We will have been together for 3 years exactly on the day we say "I Do" so..... A Long Long Long Time!

How old his he? 25

Who eats more sweets? Definitely me. He is nutso!! He hardly eats any sweets. I am a total ice cream junky.. I am thinking about going to a support group..

Who said I Love You first? He did. and I waited a week later to say them back.. haha! I know, I'm evil.

Who is taller? He is definitely taller.No shorties : )

Who can sing better? I think that I do. But I like when he sings to me.

Who is smarter? Tyson, but he is totally the more logical thinker out of the 2 of us. But I am the one with the imagination. He always says that he was more interested in taking things apart and figuring out how they worked, then playing cowboys and Indians growing up.

Who does the laundry? I do mostly, but he will do a load here and there.

Who pays the bills? TYSON! I suck at the whole $ thing. He won't let me even try to pay the bills.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at it, I do. It's the comfy spot and he always tries to steal it.....No No No No.. I always end up back on the comfy side : D

Who mows the lawn? We have no lawn to mow. We live in Arizona...rocks EVERYWHERE! But we sure do get some monstrous weeds out here.

Who cooks dinner? Hahaha! Definitely me. Tyson and his friend John (Madden) hang out a lot. So I am the one in charge of the cookin!

Who drives? Depends. Usually Tyson does. But since we work together, I drive in the mornings, because its too early for Tyson to be coherent. And then he drives in the afternoon. I think that I got the better end of the deal tho. Rush hour traffic in the afternoon in Phoenix is terrible!

Who is more stubborn? Tyson Tyson Tyson! haha. Probably him. I do have my moments tho.. That Clifford in me hold's its own against his Japaneasyness. : )

Who kissed who first? Tyson did. I still remember it. I was getting ready to drive away, and he was saying good night. And he leaned in thru my car window tilted my chin with his fingers and kissed me! SO cute! I was done for!

Who asked who out first? It kinda just happened.. I don't think that either one of us was like, "Hey, lets go out."

Who wears the pants? Uh.. Tyson 100%!! I am the quiet go with the flow type.

Well there are some fun facts about us.
