Old Port

On Friday afternoon we took taxi's into Old Port to barter with the locales and eat dinner! I did buy a couple of things, but mostly just looked. We ate dinner at Flavio's that sits right on the ocean. It was a gorgeous view.

Grandma & Kody

Mariann & Kelli

Talease & Kelli

This gentleman was part of trio that serenaded our table.

Some of the gang...

Wind blown!

Denise & Katie

The Bella Sirena...

our place of residence for the 4 days we were in Mexico. We had two condos located on the 5th floor. The pictures of the ocean were all taken from our balcony. Isn't it beautiful!

The living room

Kitchen area

Mine & Kody's room...love the suede looking paint they used on all the walls. I think I'm going to do it on our bedroom...one day!

Could They Be Related?

With much persistence and dedication we finally have a picture of Kody smiling. Wasn't the wait worth it!!??

Kody...two months (10 weeks old)

Lucas...4 months old.

Do they look like brothers? What do you think?

A Challenge...

Getting Kody to smile for the camera is harder than I ever imagined! He can be so happy and then as soon as I pull out that big black thing, he becomes very very serious! The next couple are as good as it gets...for now. You'll have to trust me when I say...he has a killer smile! I'm not about to give up yet!

Lucas on the other hand is full of smiles these days. His jealous bone has finally emerged. Anytime I'm playing with Kody or taking his picture, he tells me "loot at me, mom" or "tiss me, mom" or "cheese" so that i'll take his picture (which I 'm grateful for since he use to never let me take it). He's a handful at times, but then he can turn around and say the funniest things. Last night when we were sitting down to eat dinner he said "otay, lets eat!" and of course...we all laughed.

Look at those big brown eyes!

Other news:
A week from today, we (me, Kody & Lucas) fly to Arizona. I can't believe it's finally here. I bought the tickets clear back in July before Kody was born. I'm so excited. I'll be staying with my grandpa & grandma Clouse for a few days and then I'll leave for Rocky Point, Mexico with Jed's mom, sisters & aunts. It should be lots of fun. Jed will be home alone for a few days, but then he's heading up north for the Elk hunt with his dad and my dad. It's his first elk and he's pretty excited!

Our First Niece!

Little Abby Lyn Call made her entrance this afternoon. She weighed 7lbs 11ozs. I am so happy for Shara and Aaron. They are going to be great parents! I'm waiting on pictures and as soon as I get some, I'll post them. We are now officially an aunt & uncle and the boys now have a cousin! Yeah!

Two Months Old...

or 9 Weeks! How can that be possible??!! He had his well check appointment today.

Weight: 13lbs 3 ozs (90th percentile)
Length: 22 1/2 inches (50th percentile)
Head: can't remember, but I know it was around the 50th also.

It's official, my baby's a chunk...but a mighty cute one!!

A few things about Kody...

1. He's holding his head up much better these days.

2. He's awake and alert alot more.

3. He's an excellent eater...and enjoys doing it often!

4. He's pretty much grown out of his 0-3 month clothes.

5. His smiles are to die for!

Blessing Day

We blessed Kody this past Saturday (one day shy of two months old). He looked so handsome in his little blessing outfit. Thanks Mom!! She had to make a new one since Lucas' was to small (and he was blessed at exactly two months)! We are so grateful to all our family that was able to come. We know it was a drive for some of you, but we really appreciate it. After the blessing we had a potato bar...yummy!
