HaPpY 1sT bIrThDaY eAsToN!!!

I just took this today, it will have to do until I get his REAL 1 year pictures taken. I think it's pretty darn cute!

I can't believe that Easton is already one! This year has gone by so fast! Easton is so amazing! He truly is the happiest, smiliest, best baby. He is so much fun to have around. He RARELY is ornery or cross. He is always smiling and loves everyone. He is FINALLY sleeping so much better! HOORAY! :) He is really on the go. He started walking at 9 months and really took off at 10 months. He loves to be with Carson and Ellie playing(even though Ellie won't leave him alone and he screams whenever she holds on to him!) he can't stand to not be where they are. He has started waving out of the blue and it's so cute, he gets really excited like he knows he just did a new trick :) We are so lucky to have him in our lives and love every second of it. We love you Easton and hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Life is going by too FAST!!!

Our little Easton is growing up too fast! 9 1/2 months already! He has changed so much just in this past month. He is weighing in at 21 lbs. He is a solid tank! He is crawling every where but not for long, he has been not just walking around furniture and walking with the walker but he is standing up in the middle of the room by himself and standing for a long time with great balance! He is the HAPPIEST baby I have ever seen! He is ALWAYS smiling and his smile really melts your heart! Everyone that sees him just loves him, he instantly smiles at them and they are hooked! We are so lucky to have such a great happy baby who is so much fun! The only complaint I have at this point is that he is still NOT sleeping through the night, he has had so many ear infections, which I don't think they ever clear up.... and he is teething so I don't dare let him cry!!! I can't wait till I know the ear's are healed and then he is on his own. :) Carson and Ellie still love him a little too much, he's a tough little feller! All in all we love those three so much and are so thankful to have them in our lives!

We Love You Easton!!

First Halloween

Our neighborhood had a Trunt OR Treat last night. The kids had a lot of fun. It was MUCH cooler than it has been the past 2 years that we have been here. Carson and Ellie were so excited to dress up! We can't wait for Halloween!

I had so much fun taking this family's pictures! I have NEVER seen such well behaved kids! They didn't even complain once the entire time, even sweet Ellie who had to come at the crack of dawn the next morning because we ran out of light the night before! Such a sweet, cute family! Tanks guys for letting me take these! :)

Our little man is 8 months!

8 months old Don't his eyes just melt you?

Time is going by so fast! I can't believe Easton is already 8 months old! He has changed so much and so fast. He is EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING! He has mastered crawling, standing up on everything, and is our little vacuum cleaner. He is still such a happy baby. His little smile just melts you and those eyes, man he is going to be the little lady getter! We love him so much and are so blessed to have him in our family.
He is weighing in a little over 20 pounds. He is HUGE! I love it though, besides packing him everywhere! We are still trying to master the sleep all night thing. He has had an on going ear infection for the past month and a half so he has been sleeping horrible but last night was amazing, he slept from 9:15pm to 5:45am and then went back to bed until 8:30am.. Simply HEAVEN... Easton loves Ellie and Carson even though they are really rough with him. He gets all excited when his dad gets home. Easton spent his first weekend away from his family and did awesome! Thanks Mom and Dad!

We are excited to see him grow and learn new things!We love you Easton!

Happy Birthday Mom

For my mom's birthday she wanted to take all the grandkids to see Tarzan at Tuacahn. It was really good. Ellie and Keira were TERRIFIED of the monkeys flying through the air, we had to keep reminding them that they were people.

Thanks Mom and Dad, we had a lot of fun!

My mom is such an amazing person! She is alwasys willing to help out any way she can! I am so lucky to have such a wonerful Mom and Nana for my kids. My Mom is so wonderful and I appreciate everything she does for us. I love you Mom! It was so nice to spend the whole weekend with you for your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!! We love you!

Pinevalley Reunion

I can't believe it is already Pinevalley time. This is a time of year so many of us look forward to. It is so fun to visit with all the family that you only see once a year. This in not like your normal family reunions, we actually LIKE going and we all know each other pretty well. IT is so amazing how much we grow every year, new spouse, new babies... it's so fun to see everyone change! Camping out at the fun cabin, some of us are in tents, trailers and most of the kids sleep out on the deck. We play games, kids do crafts, volleyball, we have our own family testimony meeting, talent night and we finish it off with team games and of the course the dreaded WATERFIGHT!! It was so fun to see and visit with everyone. We'll see you next year! :)

Here is one of the team games we played, sling shot waterballoon. It was fun.

This is the night of the talent show....This one is fun, you have a relay trying to fill this pole up with water and the higher you get there are holes that you have to plug...Relay games and pinata for the kids

Miss Keira

Miss Ellie can now pump herself! Hooray!Haley and Easton

WATERFIGHT in ICE cold FREEZING water. Over the years it has been manditory but the past few has been relaxed. Everyone used to be drug out there. (minus great grandma and babies!)
