Farm Life

On Sunday we drove down to a town just by Gunnison Utah. It is a very out in the middle of nowhere kind of town. But it was pretty good size for being that far away from a major road! We went down to take pictures of a family down there, and I couldn't resist taking pictures of Bubba and of us together. So here are some pictures from our trip!

Here is one of Bubba and I together. I LOVE it! My favorite picture of the two of us.
Bubba's first time on a horse....he liked it.
Anyway...enjoy!

Saturday


WE ARE AN ETERNAL FAMILY NOW!! Yay!!


We were sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Temple on Saturday! That means, that Bubba is sealed to us now. We were so excited and it was so neat! I would like to thank those that were able to make it. It meant a LOT to have you there to support us! So, I know you all want some pictures, so this post might be loaded with them!
This is his only cousin on my side of the family. He is DK and he is trying to give Bubba a kiss...
This is DK trying to give Bubba a hug...So cute!
Anyway, thanks for looking through all the pictures. It was a lot of fun, and I can't believe that it is over! we have waited so long for this to happen, that it seems like we should still be waiting for it! But he is now ours, and we couldn't be happier!

New Carseat

Well...our little chunker had to get a new carseat! The limit on his little carseat was 22 pounds. And this last week, he passed that. So we went and bought him a new seat that will work rear facing and front facing. We installed it in our car today, and I took him on some errands with me. He seemed to enjoy it, as he fell asleep promptly! So I took a few pictures of him in his new car seat to show how little he still is! :-)
He is sure growing fast!

One to start the day..

Make sure you read the next couple of posts, I can't figure out how to get them to stay at the top of the page, but they have information regarding our sealing and everything! So make sure you read down!

I worked on this picture last night, and I just had to share it. Ever since Bubba was born, he has had LONG eyelashes! Well, I finally got a good picture of them the other day. So here is a picture of Bubba in the bath, with his LONG eyelashes!


I wish I had lashes this long!

Anyway..that is all for now!

Sealing

Oh...I forgot to post about this! Our sealing and baby blessing is going to be this week! YAY!! We are very excited about this! So here is our announcement that we were going to send around, but didn't get around to it because I felt so sick! So here you have it! Thanks a ton! (You can click on it to make it larger!) And if you have questions about if you are invited or not, please e-mail me and I will let you know! Thanks.

Bath time and other things...

OK, so I have been trying to post more, and take more pictures and videos, as I am sure you all have noticed. Haha. So I have been trying to do better, and take at least one picture of Bubba a day. I also decided today that I need more pictures of Bubba and me...but I haven't done that one....YET! I will try to do that also.

A couple of these are from yesterday, and one is from today, so hopefully I am covering both days. Haha. I also have a couple more videos I would like to post if I can ever get the stupid thing to work...anyway, back to the pictures! We try to give Bubba a bath every other day, the reason we do it so often, is because he tends to make a mess when he eats (as in, he tries to feed himself) and it also helps with his stuffy nose. So here are a few pictures from his bath.


And you will notice that in each of those pictures he has a washcloth. We have to bathe him with 2 washcloths. One we will actually use to clean him with, and the other is for him to play with. Because no matter how many toys we put in there with him, he will always go for the washcloth. And what does he do with said washcloth? He sucks the water out of it. Gross, I know, but we can't stop him. He will dunk the washcloth in the water, and pull it up and suck on it, dunk it in again...he repeats this over and over again through his whole bath. The good thing about it I guess is that is cleans his mouth and nose, so it isn't as hard to clean them!

Here is another one just after bath. He is getting too big for his little hooded towels! We even have a robe that doesn't fit him. Why oh why is my baby growing up so fast?!

Here is one from today. I was upstairs working on a project for our ward, and I hear him at the bottom of the stairs (Melanie was downstairs watching him so I could get the video done). I look down the stairs and see this. So I thought "I have to get a picture!" How could I not! Just as I snapped this picture, he let go of the stairs and stood there for a second before grabbing the stairs again. I think that startled him, because he promptly sat down after that!

But he LOVES to climb on things! He will now climb OVER my legs if he wants something on the other side. The other thing he started doing was saying "mamamama" over and over and over again. It is SO cute and it melts my heart! I went downstairs and he saw me, grinned and started saying it. I went into the bathroom, and I could hear him out there crawling to the bathroom. He then started scratching at the door all while saying "mamama". Now, I know people will say that it is just babbling, and he doesn't know what he is saying, but he will only really say it when I am around, or when he is trying to get to me. I am trying to get this on video, but haven't had any luck yet. Hopefully soon!

Anyway, I should end this post soon. I have been feeling really sick lately, and we thought that it was pneumonia, so we went to the doctor, and I guess all I have is a severe sinus infection with a really bad cough. So I am on some medicine that is making me feel pretty loopy and tired. Good thing I don't have to drive anywhere! Haha...ok. I need sleep. Good night!

Laughing

Ok, so I have had this video for a few months, and am now just pulling it off of my video camera, because my WONDERFUL dad helped me get it to work on my computer!! But about 3 months ago, I told of a video we had of Bubba laughing. Well here it is. It is kind of long, but WORTH it to watch the whole thing! I am trying to record more of him, so there should hopefully be more videos up of Bubba soon! Yay!!




Let's see..what else can I blog about. Today we drove up to Kaysville for a quick visit with my parents. So that was fun to surprise them and see them!


I have a new calling in the ward! It is YW Sports Coordinator. So this morning bright and early, I headed over to the church for Volleyball. I wasn't expecting anyone to show up for our team, but we had 6 girls show up! Enough for a team! Yay! So we played a few games, which was fun. I don't know how well I am cut out for this coaching thing, but we will see! I will try to get pictures of them next week. Anyway..


We have a very busy week this next week! There is so much on my list to do, that I think I might just have a meltdown sometime during it! I keep telling Sam that he needs to be prepared for when I have one...he doesn't believe me. So we shall see who gets the last laugh! Muahahahaha! Anyway, I think I am going to go to bed. So...have fun!
