6 months... Really?!

Today our baby turns 6 months old.  It just goes so darn fast!  I just can't tell you how much I love this boy.  He gives the best smiles.  He's rolling around and we often find him in a different location then were we left him.  He loves his bottle which means I'm nearly through with nursing... yeah!  He loves his baby food... peas and green beans.  He's getting much better about sleeping through the night.  He still loves to be wrapped which is hard considering he can weasely his way out of it.  He rolls on to his tummy a lot while he's trying to go to sleep and this makes him extremely mad!  He still loves the binky and I'm not sure it'll be going anywhere any time soon.  He has a hysterical laugh and if I could figure out how to upload video on this thing again, I'd let you all experience it.  He spits up... a lot.  He can blow bubbles.  He isn't quite sitting up yet, but getting closer everyday.  He likes to reach for toys and put anything into his mouth that's with in arms length.  He puts up with a lot, but in the end... his brothers are his best friends!

Ryker... we love you!

Thanksgiving Pictures

We had a great Thanksgiving.  The food was yummy and the company was great.  I was horrible at taking pictures, so this is the few that I did take.  In honor of Thanksgiving, we let Ryker have his first baby food.  Aunt Talease had the honors of feeding the peas.  And he loved them... very very much!

Happy Turkey Day

The turkey's in the oven and in a few short hours will sit down to eat the biggest lunch consumed all year.  Delicious!  We're celebrating this year with Jed's family here at our house.  It's fun to all be together and celebrate.  We have lots to be thankful for this year.

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving... Gobble, Gobble!

New Moon

Saw 'New Moon' last night with Tawnya & Jessica.  I liked it about 150 percent better than the first.  My only problem is Edward... not so attractive (in my humble, yet honest opinion).  And he wears a lot of (red) lipstick.  I'm sure it's there to make him seem whiter, but a little less may have been more.

Jacob on the other hand was much prettier on the eyes!

So I've decided I'm team Edward in the book and team Jacob in the movie.

And how exciting is it that 'Eclipse' is coming out in June 2010!  Only a 7 month wait...  please please please don't rate it "R"!

Thanks Tawn & Nappy for a fun sisters night!  We missed you Shara (and mom) but look at the bright side.... you wouldn't have won an awesome "New Moon" boardgame if you had been with us!

Lightning Speed

This is what happens when the 2 year old sneaks into the baby's room!

29 Forever

I use to think 29 sounded so old... and it still does!  I can hardly believe I'm there... the year people claim to be, even when they are not.  So what have I learned in the past 29 years...

I don't have to dislike every thing that my mom didn't like
I do like mustard on sandwiches
I don't like Miracle Whip

I usually have a pile of clutter somewhere that needs going through... (and I don't want to).
I use to be a very good speller... (thank you spell check).
My kids can bring out the best and (unfortunately) the worst in me.
I would rather do anything else than clean (but I do do it once in awhile)
I am a spring/fall girl...  not to hot and not to cold
I have no vertical jump what so ever... I'm lucky if my feet leave the ground
I have a high tolerance for pain
I like a cold Ruby Red Squirt or Barq's Rootbeer
I would choose 7-UP over Sprite any day of the week
I talk to my sisters and mom a lot (sometimes multiple times a day)
I don't enjoy cleaning up poop or throw up
My life wouldn't be the same with out the Gospel
I don't like driving in the dark, rain or snow
I love designing and photography
I am not fond of sleeping on little pull out chair beds in hospital rooms for mulitple days
I am not fond of sleeping in actual hospital beds either
I am grateful for modern medicine
I don't like to exercise... especially run
I like being a Visiting Teacher
I have the best job in the world, besides being a mom
I hope one day to not have to work
I love my family
I have the best life... ups and downs included.

Here's to the last year as a 20-something... and may the next 29 be as good as the last!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

(Thanks Tawnya for the yummy birthday dinner tonight!)

Firm Foundation

I love primary program Sunday. Lucas has been practicing his part for a little while and he had it down perfect for today. "When we pray, we tell Heavenly Father we are grateful for all the blessings his has given our family." He's also been working hard on his songs. He sings "How Firm a Foundation" a lot when we are cleaning.

Lucas was quite the entertainer during the program. He had some serious dance moves to go along with each song and liked to wave and wink, very dramatically, at his biggest fans. It was hard not to smile most of the time. Like my mom said... "every primary has one!" But, he did awesome and I'm so proud of him. He really is such a good kid and we love him lots! We'll just be working a little more on reverence for next years program!!!

Grama Carole, Papa (*without the "hee hee's") and Nappy came down for the big event! We had a fun weekend spending time together... as always.

*Kody was extremely disappointed that my dad didn't bring the baby horses with him. He asked for the hee hee's about every 5 minutes, all weekend long!

Thanks mom for letting me steal the pictures from you!!
