Okay, so we overspent in January - I mean we really overspent in January. So for us to stick to our budget we only have $230 left this month to cover fuel, groceries, presents, etc. We started February 1 and here we are so far:
$45 - Gas for the Camry
$109.57 - Costco: diapers, pants for Josh (trust me it was a necessity - I am pretty sure the people at work do not want to see his bottom), oranges, milk, etc.
Which means we are left with $75.43 for the rest of the month - eek!
I will keep you updated to see if we can live by a budget!

Catch-up
Lillie turned 5 months old on January 16th. Here are some things we want to remember about her at 5 months:
-Can roll from back to front and vice versa pretty easily
-Can walk around in her walker
-Plays well with her toys
-Still loves to laugh and giggle and now talk jibberish
-She also decided that she there is too much fun stuff to do to go to bed at night...we are working on that one...
-We tried starting her on cereal, but her poor body couldn't handle it and we had to hold off until she is 6 months and start with fruit instead of cereal.
-She gives hugs and kisses- So sweet!
Weight Loss Update:
We had a break in our kick boxing class and with all the holidays I also took a break from not eating candy, etc. I ended up gaining three pounds over the holiday and first half of January : ( I am back on track now and lower than I was before the holidays so we are doing okay. I lost a total of 24 pounds and have about 34 more pounds to go. I am back to kick-boxing three times a week. We also got Lehi Center Passes and I am starting to run again on our off nights- it has been fun. I also got a new Jillian Michael's Video for abs because I have lost the least amount of inches in waist and I do that on Saturday nights. I hoping for some more results soon.

Holidays
Our Christmas cheer was low or we just ran out of time to put any more decorations out. We looked high and low for a decent Christmas Tree half way through December, but they do not exist so we ended up with our white Christmas tree. 
Merry Christmas Toby
Just cute
Lillie's favorite present - thanks daddy!
The amount of presents overwhelmed her.
Grandma Ann's crazy Christmas giving
Christmas day
Annual Larsen Party - Food, games and family
Happy to be with Mandi
Mother-of-the-year-award goes to ME! Lillie just loves to lie down sometimes and it might just be on a gym floor
Look how big she is getting

Four Months Old
Wow - Lillie turned four months old this week. She is getting so big!
Happy, happy girl!
Look who likes Lillie now! He actually laid by her!
Mother like Daughter - Loves her chocolate cereal!
Don't mind the mess - we are still moving in...
Cute hat her aunt made for herWhat we remember at four months:
-You love to play with your toys
-You can scoot around on your back and try to do crawling motions when you are on your stomach, but haven't quite figured out how to move.
-She learned to spit and loves to do it (Coincidentally she started doing this after spending the day with grandma Ann, hmm...)
-She can roll from back to front and vice versa - you only do it occasionally
-Still a great sleeper - sleeps about 8 hours straight a night
-Loves the babysitter's kids - no one can get her to laugh like they can.

Home Sweet Home
Our house is done and we are all moved! It is great to be in our new house!
One day we will have a million houses surrounding us - so I wanted to get pictures to remember how great it was to be all alone.

The 20-pound Change

Worse than labor...
My day started out normal, but I got the great experience of having a root canal! I called the dentist this morning after months of pain and they sent me to an endodontist where I received my fortunate experience of the root canal. I thought I was only their for a consultation to see if I really needed a root canal. (Which we all knew after two different dentist opinions and a couple of fillings later, but I was in denial) and all of sudden he has the Novocaine ready for my mouth. Then 30 seconds later they put the rubber thing in my mouth that feels like you are suffocating - I have never come so close to having a panic attack in my life - I was more scared than having the baby.
Well I was able to breathe it out and I was actually able to drink cold water tonight - which was worth all the panic!
On a happier note - we had a great Thanksgiving! It was SO relaxing to have a four-day weekend. We watched Christmas specials and just spent time with Lillie and family all weekend! On Thanksgiving we spent the day at my mom's house with my grandmas, Craig's, Patti's and Alan's Family. It was great and I went way over my calorie limit for the day (which was worth it then, but I am paying for it now)
Happy Thanksgiving - Josh said we needed traditions so w can remember holidays - All I could come up with is dressing nice on Holidays - so here we are all dressed up for the occasion (This is what we wear to work, so it is actually easier than dressing down)
It wouldn't be a party with my family without card games!
Someone else had too much to eat and passed out during Thanksgiving
We should be closing in less than a week! Here is picture of our kitchen so far. They still have to put in carpet and and do all the finish work and hopefully fix all the holes in the walls they made today (it looked like someone forgot to wire something so they had to run new wires)
As far as the weight loss...um, I overdid it on Thanksgiving and I have nothing new to report...hopefully by this weekend. However, I did pack up all my maternity clothes because they no longer fit and I fit back into to my previous clothes (They don't look the same, but they fit...)
