Stetson's 6 Month Pictures

Stetson is growing big and strong. He had his check up and is 28 inches and 21 1/2 pounds which puts him in the 90% for his age. He can sit up on his own and is so close to crawling it makes me nervous. But he still gets around pretty good on his own and is playing more indepenantly now that he can move on his own. He has two teeth and is working on more. But even with just two teeth he manages to eat alot of big boy food. He just started his clingy stage and thinks I need to hold him at all times. He will still go to other people he just cries when I leave the room which makes it hard to get things done. But I do enjoy every chance I get to snuggle him and read to him. Doug and I enjoy spending our time making him laugh. We are so grateful that we have him in our family and the joy he brings. His smile could light up anyones day. He is a very sweet spirited boy whom we love and adore dearly.

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!!
Doug and I have been happily married for 2 years now. I just wanted to thank my wonderful husband for all of his love and support. For always making my laugh, for getting up each morning to provide for our family and for making time for us to be together as a family. I am so thankful that he is a worthy priesthood holder to lead and guide our family. He is such a great father and I know that we will be together for all eternity. I love you Honey!

FUN PLAYDATES!!

Stetson and I spent a week having to much fun. We visited both Grandparents, Aunt Danica, Uncle Tyson and Jolene, Tamie and her baby Evan. It was so good to see everyone that we were able to. We love you and miss you all!!

Day 1 -

My bestest friend in the whole wide world had just received her mission call TO... RICHMOND, VIRGINIA speaking spanish. We are so proud and happy and excited for about her decision to go. We were able to spend time with her having a picnic at the temple. We were watching the missionaries come and go to get ideas for her and then we decided to go and do some shopping. She got some cute skirt and stetson got cute outfit and shoes.

Day 2 -

Stetson loved playing with his cousins, Isaac & Ethan. He thought he was such a big boy and they were so nice to share their toys while Jolene and I chatted away. When Tyson got home we loaded up, grabbed dinner and a movie and chilled. It was so nice to spend time with them. We love you tons!

Playing Outside

It was a nice day out last Saturday so we grabbed a blanket, toys and Stetson and I went and enjoyed the sunshine. He is such a happy smiling baby. He sits up by himself really good and now. He can get up on his hands and knees and will rock back and forth and he can scoot backwards but he hasnt figured out how to move forward yet which is a relief for me because I know once he can - I am in big trouble.

We love you Grandpa and Daddy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

PARTY!! PARTY!!

We had a BBQ at my dad's house on Saturday which was delicious (but I forgot the camera). And then we hung out in the candle light since their power was out. Quite the adventure.

On Sunday we had a nice dinner with family at the Blacks home. Shaylee was so excited for the cake and asked me every 15 minutes if I was ready for my cake. She finally just brought it to me. Stetson thought that it was pretty cool and he got all excited. Jeremy and Jason watched football and we all just hung out and had a good day.

Kelsie took a much needed nap! She's a Busy Busy Woman!

We had a weekend full of fun, food and family! I really think that both families just used my birthday as a good excuse to get together and have good food. jk It was a great weekend - Thank you!

Familiar Faces

I was so excited when my Aunt Lucy called and said that she and my cousin Toni were in Vernal and wanted to meet up. It was so nice to see a familiar face and catch up. We got sandwiches and met up at the park for lunch.

It's crazy to think how time flies and we both have our own boys.

It was so good to see them and I was so sad to see them go. We definately didn't have enough time to get all the catch up in so well have to do it again.

Grandma and Grandpa Blacks Visit

Grandma & Grandpa Blacks Visit

I was told not to worry about moving away from family - if you have their grandbaby they would come to visit the grandkids and sure enough it wasn't long before Grandma & Grandpa were missing their little grandson. Although we had several things planned for when they came for the weekend, unfortunately Doug had to work all weekend and we didnt do as much. But they did love on Stetson from sun up to sun down. Grandpa made him a "special" plastic bottle that was crinkled just right to make noises for Stetson. We did go and look around town and went shopping and then to dinner at Stockman's. We ordered dessert and Grandma about died when she saw how big it was. She claims they used a whole shortcake, 1 lb. of strawberries, a gallon of ice cream and a tub of whipping cream.

His special toy that Grandpa made hime. ;)
He played and played until he crashed on Grandma.
Good Morning Grandpa

Fishing

The guys went fishing almost every morning and every night. Some times they came back empty handed other times with enough fish to feed everyone and it was sure good.

The twins went exploring the mountain side.
