ROUND TWO

Well folks...we decide to expand our living space and purchase another home and rent out the cute little one that we have been living in. Our new home has not closed yet but we are so close. We had potential renters that needed a space to live immediately and we did not want to loose them so last Thursday we decided to move our stuff and be out by Saturday. It was a LONG few days but I am happy to say we got everything out. The owner of the home we are purchasing does not live there anymore so she said we could put our stuff in the garage. We had a friend come help us Thursday night and then had some wonderful friends come on Friday and Saturday to help. We are currently living out of our suit cases and sleeping at my parents. They were very generous to let us come and be with them for a little while. Hopefully the home will close in a week or so, that would be very nice.  

OLD HOME (2 bedroom/ 1 Bath, 829 square feet)

NEW HOME (3 bedroom/2 bath 1075 square feet)

More pictures to come when we are in and settled. The other best part of this who thing is now I can give my almost one year old a bath...I have been bathing him in the sink for the last year or given him a bath at my parents. I am very excited to help him to love the water finally!!! 

Merry Day of Birth and Miscellaneous

Mary and I always get to celebrate our birthday's together...we got to go out to the Jacobsen's for their son Christian's missionary farewell talk and we got to have a birthday meal as wel;

 The whole crew...

The best chocolate chip cookies ever...
this time around they turned out amazing

 If baby boy could write in his car seat like this every day he would be in heaven...this was actually just in the parking lot of the church

KEY LIME PIE...yum

Birthday Lunch

CRAZY HAIR 

 So I had to work on my birthday all day and so did my husband. I did go to lunch with my parents but other then that baby and I stayed home. Tuesday nights we got to watch my husband play ball and we decided to go on my birthday as well but we also had a few things we needed to get done and we did not know how we would get it all taken care of. So right before we had to leave my husband came in and told me that he locked his keys in his car...we did not know what to do...he was out there for a while trying to get it and we finally found something that helped. The rod that curtains hang on...we got it inside and were able to get it open...Who needs a locksmith when you have us. So we ended up going back in and checking my husbands email and his game was cancelled. If we would not have locked the keys in the car we would have already been on our way and not been able to check the email...it all works out. It ended up being a nice day

 My baby has a perfect round face...a complete circle

 Playing Wii Golf with daddy

We looked over one day and he was walking with his highchair...and he climbed the fireplace ledge and was just chilling...he is getting so big

 Again his favorite place to sack out at Grandma's 

 

 and like father like son!!!

Ward Summer Social

We had our Summer Ward Party last week and this year we rented a huge inflatable water slid that we set up by the pavilion. We had a pot luck with hot dogs and we had a nice turn out. I decided that I would take Teddy down the slide even though I did not have my swimming suit on. 

 Nathan also took Stella down and both of the kids did not enjoy it. Teddy got over it faster but she is older and did not like it at all...

 Here we are at the bottom and since its so far away you cannot see baby boys face...so look at the next picture to see the terror on his face...

PRICELESS

 He got over it pretty fast and I even went down again. He freaked out again but was ok within a little bit

 TEDDY LOVES POPPIE...he could just chill with him all day long!! 

 After the party we stopped at 7-11 and got a slurpee...SO SO YUMMY 

He loves looking at my dad while in the car...here you can see his top teeth, sorta!!!

Independence Day

The 4th of July this year started like any other day...my husband had to work and my office was closed but since Sam was gone, I decided to put in a few hours at work and do some cleaning. Later on in the day we headed over to my parents house. We had singed up to feed the missionaries so we decided to cook the food at their house and let my parents and Ashlee eat too...We made Hawaiian rice bowls and had some patrioric items as well...we had blue jello with some cool whip and fruit (blueberries, strawberries and raspberries) and a cake decorated like a flag

The Meal!!! 

The Cake...I found a recipe on pinterest...I made a french vanilla cake and backed it...I made some french vanilla pudding with half milk and half coconut milk...when the cake was done I poked holes in it and then poured the pudding on top and let it seep through...We then covered it with cool whip and decorated with with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries to represent the american flag...it was very tasty...I think I need to poke the holes a little bigger next time and let it sit a little longer

 We tried to dress in red white and blue...baby had the perfect outfit...I was missing the red but got in the blue and white...he was being such a happy boy

LOVE THAT SMILE

 We went to spider man after dinner and it was pretty good. Baby boy did ok. We waited till the move started to give him his bottle and he drank it in lightning speed and wanted to sit up...my mom brought him down and was standing in the isle with him. I heard him cry a few minutes later and went down. He had almost fallen asleep but a woman walked by and started talking to him and when she walked out the door he freaked...its funny that he did not even know this lady but got so sad when she left...I think it is when a door opens and shuts and he does not get to go, he gets so sad...he calmed down after a little while and fell asleep for the rest of the movie 

I splurged and ate some peanut butter m&m's and it was yummy!!! Publix had a bye one get one free deal so we bought a bag of peanut and a bag of peanut butter. I had my husband hide them when we got home and I have not searched the house yet for them...YAY

Up Too!!!

Teeth is what we have been up to...baby has been drooling so bad for the past few months but he did not break any top teeth until this week and poor boy had 4 teeth come in in two days...lets just say our nights were miserable...but now he has such cute chomper... =) 

 His normal sleep position...

 How he slept when he did sleep the few nights he was getting his new teeth...he did not let go of his bottle for anything...the picture on the left shows his sweaty little head, that's what happens when you cry for hours, you get all sweaty!!!

 When I do not hear baby boy when I am at my desk, I know he is up to something. One day I came into the bedroom to find this. He found his puffs in the diaper bag and was chowing down...he was so happy

 Baby boy has started to sit and watch a show for a few minutes. So darling

 One day he crawled behind the couch and got stuck...what a curious little lad

Earings!!!

Necklaces

My father the handy man who can build anything build these jewelry organization things for my mothers drawers...I cannot believe that he did it, he is so amazing. He also build her another wall hanger thing for her necklaces as well...I will have to take a picture sometime because it is so cool

I am in LOVE with the Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuit crackers...I have to be careful or I could down a box of these like that!!

 This was how baby spend the days he was teething, with a fever on my lap or sleeping on the living room floor...I am so glad that those few days are over. I know it will happen again and I am glad we survived the first go around.

Our friends the Munns gave us this high chair. I had been feeding baby in a little seat similar to the bumbo on top of the table and he was starting to get a little wiggly. He does pretty good in the chair and is starting to get good at picking things up with his hands...LOVE HIM
