COLEMAN JUST TOOK HIS FIRST STEP!!

I turned around and guess who was standing there smiling at me ALL BY HIMSELF!!! Oh my gosh, I am in serious trouble! He turned 9 months TWO days ago and within just a couple of weeks, he'll be WALKING!!! Wow.

Sorry I couldn't snap a photo, if you're a mom then you KNOW that it only lasted a few seconds and I wanted to stare at him and soak it all up!

Offer accepted and approved - we're moving!

Here's a quick snapshot of our new house, hopefully we can make it our home very soon! We move in two weeks, wish us luck...

P.S. It has a garage, so Davey is very very excited to say the least and I am excited about the front porch that we'll be hanging a porch swing on very shortly!

P.S. I'll be painting and posting more regularly, so check back often!

Such fun visitors!

We had a great time seeing so much family last month! We got to see Jon and Andrea, Rose, Erynn, Jacob & Laura, Grandma Myra and Grandpa Mark, and Jamie and Brent! Thanks for coming out everyone, we loved seeing you. Coleman loves seeing family and got to know them so well - here's a photo of Coleman and Grandma.
They also spent some quality time while we got to go skiing!

It's true, Coleman has a girlfriend!

Isn't Mayla a babe? Gorgeous!




This was the two of them last night when we got to watch Mayla for the evening. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was trying to put the moves on her! Don't worry, he already does. When she cries, he crawls over and gives her a kiss - that a boy! Coleman LOVES it when she comes over to play and so do I because she giggles and squeals and models for us and is such a sweet little girl. Her mom is not so bad either - we have A LOT of fun together! Don't worry, we've already talked about Coleman taking her to the Prom...

Steamboat Springs, CO

We had a great trip to Steamboat Springs, CO a few weeks ago and would love to go again next year if we can! Jon and Andrea were excellent hosts and we loved taking a few days to hang out in a cute ski town with the locals. We went sledding - more like extreme sledding and it was awesome, we went swimming in the hot springs - Coleman LOVED this, we went to a fireworks show and we hung out with the Scotts. Thanks for a great trip guys!

8 months!!

Wow! My son is 8 1/2 months old and he is growing like a weed. He gets in to
everything, yes, but he is way more fun than I ever imagined possible!

I love being a mom!!!

7 months

Well I have just been so swamped lately, that I'm posting this a little late...he is now 8 1/2 months old, so I'll be posting these 7 and 8 month posts back to back. These are the
last photos before his haircut. Enjoy.

Buyer's Market

So we've decided to take advantage of the low interest rates and cheap homes and buy one! We found a nice little foreclosure in Provo that is a gold mine and we're currently in Escrow, so if everything goes through, we'll be closing on March 28th and moving in the first week of April!! Until it's really ours, I'm only posting one photo because I don't want to get everyone's (mine especially) hopes up until it's a done deal. Until then, enjoy this photo - it's my favorite thing about the house!

It may just be that I'm an artist, but I really think that's the coolest bathroom I've ever seen!

I did it, I cut his hair.

My mom would be proud. Even though it was SO CUTE long, it was getting awfully scraggly! Hopefully now it will all grow at the same time. I'm going to have to get used to seeing a little blondie!

Who would have thought all I would need is a cookie to distract him?? Nice.
