6 months!! 3 months ago

Mckensi took these pictures when me and Luke went up to visit her in parawon. she is so talented they all look so cute and they were just snap shots! anyways I think luke is just such a cute kid. here is a little update as to what he is doing
5 months he started sitting up
6 months he started army crawling, starts saying mamama
7 months. crawls very well on hands and knees. he started puling himself into a standing position and walking along everything, stops saying mamama completly and now he says dadadadada not to be confused with dad.
8 months starts blowing raspberrys on everything...( arms hands legs leather chairs) climbs the stairs at an alarming speed. holds his own bottle, crys when dad mom or grandma and grandpa leaves the room. has a little stranger anxiety. kicks legs super fast and attacks his blanket when you hand it to him hugging it to his face and chest. (if that makes sense). walks behind his toys that have wheels. crawls with his head down when he wants to go faster. is all over the place moving constantly. if he is awake he is moving... church is one of the most tiring activities of the week.
9 months. well he just turned nine months yesterday and has not acquired any knew skills. but we just love everything he does. he is so sweet and has the funniest personality he knows he is not supposed to climb the stairs so when he hears me coming after him he just squeels and climbs faster. I love being a mom to such a cute happy little boy.

3 Years!!

I honestly cannot believe we have been married 3 years today! time has honestly just flown by it seems like just yesterday we were counting down the days till our wedding. I am so in love with chris, I seriously thought that on the day I married chris I could not feel any stronger about him, but I do and I cant wait for all of the years to come. with how fast these 3 years have gone by it makes me so grateful we have eternity together. I love you chris and am so happy I married you. your the best husband ever and I love being with you!

A new first!

So me and Luke were just sitting there this one morning last week and he is just looking at me all sweet like and then out of no where he strikes with surprising speed and attacks my hand... I was expecting it to be just like every other thousandth time he does this when all of a sudden I feel this little sharp thing in his mouth. so i stick my finger in and lo and behold its a tooth! he started laughing so hard when he saw my surprised face, like he was so proud of it and he had been waiting for me to notice. he is gfrowing up so fast and is just so stinkin cute.

Parowan

Kensi was so sweet to whip out her camera while we were up plaing in her yard in parowan. dont they look like they were professionally done? we just love how talented kensi is. oh and thanks for letting us come hang out and feeding us it was super fun.

Luke is sooo talented

a couple of new things for our blog followers. first is about a month ago luke learned to sit up by himself he likes it alot but when he goes to reach for things in front of him he still face plants it. also he only 2 days ago learned to crawl!!! I know he is just sooo Smart... although he will only crawl if he is extremly motivated by something in front of him otherwise he wont. also I think layla looks like a retatrded dog in this picture and I laughed my head off when I saw her in the background.

1 subway+ us = very sore bodies

last week me and Chris decided we wanted to go hike the subway... ok so chris decided he wanted to... i was a bit unsure about being able to finish it after a year of 0 activity. but after alot of reassurance from chris and three very awesome babysitters, my mom kensi and jaylee. ( yes we needed 3 babysitters because it was a 8 hour hike) we finally went! it was BEAUTIFUL!! I loved it. we got to repell and had to hike and swim through freezing water and I just cant say how awesome the firtst 5 hours were... they just flew by. then came the last 4 hours which were hiking out of the subway, it was miserable my toenails felt like they were gonna fall off so every step I wanted to cry. Chris had to carry this huge rope the whole hike so he was dead from the extra weight. needles to say when we finally made it back to the car we were exhausted! and the next 3 days we couldnt move, we would do rock paper scisors to see who would go up the stairs to get luke from his nap and such... very humurous but very painful. anyways we had a ton of fun and missed luke very much.

4th of july in our backyard

we had a fun 4th of july in nashville... it was on sunday so we didnt do alot of the usual 4th activities but we had a yummy bbq, and the city fire works were done in the open field rite ouside our back patio. luke slept through the whole thing even though it sounded like bombs were going off.... as for layla, she was terrified she hid in the closet and her kennel all night which kind of a big deal cause she hates her kennel and also hates not being tight next to us especially if we are outside. she was shaking for a day afterwords.
