A GREAT WEEK!!!

08-06-07 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US. MAX IS SUCH A WONDERFUL HUSBAND! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE MARRIED TO HIM. WHAT A GREAT 3 YEARS!

This week was so amazing! It started off on Friday with our anniversary. 3 years have flown by and been so exciting. Max's parents, brother Mikah, and niece Miranda came to visit for the weekend. We played all weekend long, going to the beach, shopping, more shopping, dinners, playing cards, watching the fight/movies and just spending time together. But the best part about this week was Sunday. Max and I have been working really hard so we can go to the temple. Max was ordained an Elder and his dad Lynn was able to pass down the priesthood to him. It was such a great experience and I am so proud of him for working so hard. We also received our patriarchal blessing. Lynn and Deb were able to sit in with us. I will never forget that day and how amazing it felt. Thank you guys for coming and making such wonderful memories.

UNCLE MIKAH. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST BABYSITTERS AND SO GOOD WITH SKYLER. HE EVEN CHANGED A DIRTY DIAPER WHILE WE WERE GONE. HE WAS HIDING EVERY TIME WE HAD THE CAMERA OUT BUT I GOT ONE RIGHT BEFORE THEY LEFT.

COUSIN MIRANDA. SHE WAS SUCH A GREAT HELP WITH SKYLER AND SO CUTE WITH HIM. JO IS LUCKY TO HAVE HER. SHE IS GOING TO BE SUCH A GREAT MOM SOMEDAY. MIR IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. WE HAD A FUN TIME SHOPPING TOO!

CHEWING MY TONGUE FACE

LOOK AT MY BIG BOY HOLDING HIS BOTTLE

STILL LOVING FOOD. THIS BOY DOES NOT MISS A MEAL!

MY LITTLE SLEEPER. I WISH YOU COULD SEE HOW MUCH ROOM HE LEAVES ME. HE LOVES TO CUDDLE SO I WAKE UP HALF OFF THE BED EVERY NIGHT

RANDOM PICTURES AND A GIGGLE

HE LOVES BUNKERS

I LOVE THIS SMILE

GOING TO CHURCH WITH MY HANDSOME BOYS!

STILL LOVING BABY FOOD

THESE 2 PICTURES ARE A MONTH OLD BUT I LOVE HOW BUNK TRIES TO CUDDLE UP TO SKYLER

CEREAL AND CARROTS

I have been trying to get a good picture of what Bunk does while Skyler is on his playmat. Such a funny and strange dog. He loves Skyler and constantly wants to be next to him. He has been really good with him and knows what he can and can not do.

Last week Skyler tried rice cereal. He wasn't a big fan of plain cereal. I think he is even a bit like his dad when it comes to textured food. He gagged a few times but seemed to get a bit of it down

Not a big fan if you can't tell by his face.

After a few tries we added some carrots and he loved it. He couldn't get enough. He would cry everytime we took the spoon away. Then he would start to shake when he was fed another spoonful.

THE STATS ARE IN

AT OUR FRIEND TONY'S HOMECOMING FROM A DEPLOYMENT TO OKINAWA. WE WERE SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM AND LET HIM MEET SKYLER THAT WE DIDNT EVEN GET A PICTURE OF HIM. SKYLER EVEN DRESSED UP IN A DEVIL DOG ONESIES.

HE LOOKS SO PREICIOUS WHEN HE SLEEPS. I LOVE HIS PUCKERED UP LIPS.

SKYLER HAD HIS 4 1/2 MONTH APPPOINTMENT TODAY. HE WEIGHS IN AT 14 POUNDS 10 OUNCES AND IS IN THE 32 PERCENTILE. HIS HEIGHT IS 23 INCHES AND IS IN THE 2.8 PERCENTILE. I DONT THINK OUR LITTLE MAN HAS A CHANCE AT BEING TALL. HE HAS SUCH SHORT LITTLE LEGS AND EVEN FITS IN MOST OF 0-3 MONTH CLOTHING. I AM DEFINATELY GETTING MY MONIES WORTH OUT OF THOSE CLOTHES EVERYONE SAID HE WOULD GROW OUT OF QUICK. I CANT REMEMBER WHAT HIS HEAD MEASURED BUT HE WAS IN THE 16.8 PERCENTILE. ALL THIS TIME WE HAVE BEEN SAYING HE HAS A BIG HEAD. MAYBE ITS JUST A BIG FOREHEAD.

WHEN MY MOM TOOK ME TO THE DOCTOR, SHE WOULD ALWAYS TAKE ME TO THE STORE AFTER TO GET A TOY. (I WOULD USUALLY CHOOSE A BARBIE) SO I DECIDED THAT I AM GOING TO DO THE SAME WITH SKYLER. HE GOT 2 SHOTS TODAY AND DID REALLY GOOD. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS TO GO BY MYSELF BUT HE ONLY CRIED FOR 10 SECONDS AND THEN HE WAS ALL SMILES. I JUST LOVE THIS HAPPY GUY. I FORGOT TO MENTION LAST WEEK HE STARTED LAUGHING. IT IS SO ADORABLE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT ON VIDEO. HE LOVED THE TOY I PICKED OUT FOR HIM TODAY!

YOU CAN SEE HIS LITTLE BUGS BUNNY BAND AIDS.

HERE IS THAT SMILE THAT JUST MELTS MY HEART. I LOVE IT AND HE IS CONSTANTLY DOING IT. THOSE MEATIE THIGHS HIDE THE BAND AIDS. HE ALSO HAS FOUND HIS HANDS AND CAN'T KEEP THEM OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

THIS IS THE LOOK HE GIVES ME WHEN I TICKLE HIS FEET. HE GETS MAD AND TRIES TO KICK. IT IS PRETTY FUNNY STUFF.

TRIP TO UTAH

MEETING AUNT LEXIE!!! THIS PICTURE IS SO ADORABLE OF BOTH OF THEM. LEX SUPRISED US AND FLEW IN ON FRIDAY NIGHT. WE WERE SO EXCITED TO SEE HER. SKYLER INSTANTLY BONDED WITH HER. SHE WAS SUCH A GREAT HELP WITH HIM WHILE WE WERE UP.
WE DID THE LONG DRIVE ON WED AND GOT IN AT 2:30 AM. SKYLER DID GREAT AND WAS VERY CONTENT THE WHOLE WAY. THURSDAY I WENT WITH MANDY, NAN, MY SISTER AND MOM TO PETER CETERA . WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. MAX STAYED AT HIS PARENTS AND WATCHED SKYLER. FRIDAY WE WENT TO DINNER WITH OUR FRIENDS. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THEM AND MADDOX WASNT TOO BAD EITHER. SATURDAY WE WENT TO JESS AND KEVIN'S FOR A BBQ AND TO WATCH THE UFC FIGHT. DEV AND ASH CAME WITH LITTLE DOKKIN. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THEM. SUNDAY WE RAN AROUND TRYING TO SEE ALL OF THE GRANDPARENTS. IT IS SO HARD TO SEE EVERYONE WHEN YOU ARE ONLY THERE FOR A WEEK. MONDAY WAS THE BIG 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION. I WENT TO BREAKFAST WITH MY FAMILY AND MAX WENT TO THE DAM WITH HIS. SKYLER WASNT ALL ABOUT THE PARADE SO LOLA ( DEB FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW) ROCKED HIM TO SLEEP. TUESDAY MAX AND I WERE ABLE TO GO GOLFING WITH MIKAH. IT HAD BEEN SO LONG THAT I ALMOST FORGOT HOW. BUT WE HAD A GOOD TIME. I THINK THEY LIKED THE FACT THAT I COULDNT BEAT THEM ANYMORE. IT WAS SUCH A BUSY WEEK AND WE WISH WE COULD SEE EVERYONE MORE THAN JUST A FEW HOURS. OUR DRIVE BACK WAS GOOD WITH NO TRAFFIC. SKYLER WAS HAPPY AND SLEEPY ( TRYING TO CATCH UP ON ALL THOSE MISSED OR SHORT NAPS. )WE HAD A GREAT TRIP AND CANT WAIT TO COME BACK FOR LABOR DAY!! HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM OUR TRIP AND A FEW AT THE BOTTOM FROM A FEW DAYS BEFORE OUR TRIP TO UTAH.
