Easton is 7 months

Easton is the happiest, smiliest baby. Everyone comes up to me and just goo's over him! I had a little girl come up to me while we were at a resurant and take him from me, she didn't even speak English, she was from Germany.. A little scary but she loved him. I think he is now the SWIG mascot, the girls love him! I have to say I think he is so stinkin cute but I am the mom!He doesn't cry unless he is tired, hungry or his siblings are bugging him and he needs to be saved!Easton is so much fun! He is such a joy in our family! We love him so much! He has the biggest eyes that just light up when you look at him! Easton starting crawling at 6 months, he will get up on his knees and even on his toes and rock back and fourth, he will go a few crawls on his knees and he flops to his tummy and scoots along doing the army crawl! He can sit up by himself from his tummy. He is weighing in over 17 pounds at 6 months so I am sure by now he is close to 18! He has gotten his first bottom tooth and is working on his 2nd, oh so much fun! I hate teething! He is eating cereal with apples or pears morning and night (I try, at least once a day if not both!) He has also tried Sweet potatoes, squash(not his favorite and carrots for lunch! He was sleeping good but since he has been pushing teeth through he has been getting up. I did do a few nights straight through which was heaven so I NEED to make him cry!! He goes to sleep by himself I just need to stop getting up with him during the night!


I am so behind....Life has been so crazy. I meant to take Easton's 6 month pictures and post them. I managed to get them taken when he was 6 1/2 months and I am now finally posting them! He will be 7 months in 3 days! I can't believe it! He is growing up too fast!

Happy "LATE" Birthday to:
Jon
Brandon
Riley
Laicy
Stacey
and anyone else I have missed!Hope you had a wonderful day!

You will be missed Justin Terry 1980 ~ 2010

For those of you that know Justin Terry you will understand what a great loss this is. Justin passed away Tuesday, July 6th. I am so sad and I can't believe this has really happened.
The first time my family met Justin was while we were building our home in Woodland Hills 25 years ago. My dad was busy building away when he heard the crash of a bike, poor Justin was going too fast(surprise :) ) around the Hyatt corner and wrecked pretty good. My dad rushed over, not knowing who this little boy was he took him over to at the time was the Wright's home and fixed him up. Im sure this was not the first time and defenetly not the last of Justin's wrecks and brusies. Justin would come down and hang out with my dad helping around the house and playing in the dirt.
We got to know the Terry family really well, we spent every summer in Lake Powell together. Everything the Terry family touched they mastered, especially Justin! I swear there wasn't anything he couldn't do! I will always remember all the fun times, staying up late talking, playing cards, (scum seemed to be the Lake Powell favorite) butt ball, sand castles. Justin always made things so much more fun, his fun personality and his awesome smile. He always made everyone laugh and the trip so much more fun. Even though I haven't talked or seen Justin for a while since life has gotten all of us pretty busy, I will surely miss him. I feel so bad that he was in such pain and felt like there was nothing left for him. I am happy that we have such an amazing plan that will make it possible for all of us to see Justin again and that Justin is in no more pain and happy with his Heavenly Father.
My heart and prayers go out the the Terry family, Wesley, Jessie and Kadence. I am so sorry for your loss.
Good by Justin! We'll see you on the other side!
Love Houghton's

4 months old

I can't believe Easton is already 4 months. He has turned into such a happy baby! (as long as he is fed and not tired!) I was so worried that he was going to cry for 6 months like Carson but he seems to have gotten over that stage! Easton is so smiley! He has the biggest dark blue eyes with the longest curly eyelashes that just make you smile by just looking at him! Carson and Ellie still love him a little too much, Easton will definitely be a tough one that is for sure!We love you Easton and are so thankful you are in our family!!*Easton can roll over to his sides*
*Loves to talk and laugh*
*Loves to be held*
*Has found his feet*
*Always chewing on his hands *
*Loves to chew on blankets*
*He only likes his Binky when he is tired and as soon as he falls asleep he spits it out*
*He has a bit of a soft/flat spot on his right back/side of his head so I have been propping him up when he sleeps on the opposite side to help fix it. (cross your fingers)*
*He will sit in his bouncer, saucer and bumbo for a bit, if he's in a good mood he will stay longer*
*He is eating 5 ounces every 3 hours. He is on a sensitive formula that has rice in it, which is nice that he is still only eating 5 ounces because it's a little pricey. It keeps his tummy fuller longer and helps with the acid reflux*
*He is ALWAYS so smiley*
*He loves to snuggle*
*His nickname is Bub*


Easton's Stats:
15.41 lbs
25.6 in
The Dr. said that out of 10 boys he would be taller than 7 of them. Crazy, maybe he did get some of the Hanson genes!

~ Mother's Day ~

I have the best hubby in the world! I love him so much and I am so thankful for how hard we works for me and our family!
Just half of the grandkids plus one extra! This is Austin Lund, he loved my dad! We sure missed Brooke, Brandon and kids!


I have the best Mom in the world! If I could describe her in one word it would be EVERY. She came to EVERY game, program, any event I had growing up. She has helped me through EVERY hardship in my life. She has helped with EVERY baby, move, date night and just being there for someone I can talk to. (both of my parents have been so amazing this way, I am so lucky!) She is a wonderful Nana and all of her grandkids just love her! I am so lucky to have a Mom who cares and is so in tune with our feelings and makes us all feel loved. I love you mom! Happy Mothers Day!My Grandma is the best! I am so happy that we live so close and get to spend so much time with her and Mac. I love you grandma! Happy Mother's Day G.G.I couldn't ask for a better Mother in-law. Merilee is a very sweet person. I am so lucky to be apart of their family. I love you Merilee. Happy Mother's Day!




It was so nice to have my parents here for Mother's Day. I didn't know they were coming until the last minute! I was so excited. We had Jon, Delena, Noelle, the Lunds, Mac and G.G. and Monty and Kim. It was a very nice day. It is so nice to FINALLY have room to put people so we are not on top of each other, the best part is that we can send all the kids down stairs! :)
