18 months...

WHERE has the time gone? My baby boy is 18 months old (well in a few days I'm a little early).  He learns and grows so fast. He makes me smile constantly he is always cheeseing it or laughing or just being silly.  He is talking a lot and even knows some signing and when he says "Please" it is the cutest thing you just have to give him what he wants, which I usually do anyways haha! He gives the best snuggles in the mornings and tells you about his night. He loves  animals and can tell you what most of the animals say. He loves his kitty Weasley and is always laying on her and chasing her, she hides out in my bedroom most of the day cause she is scared of him.  He loves his Aunties and Uncles Blain was blessed with some of the BEST Aunties and Uncles, they spoil him.

Here is a list of the words he can say…
1. Mama
2. Dada
3.Weasley
4. Reesey (Blain loves his cousin Reese so much he would be lost with out her)
5. Horsey
6. Please
7. Thank You
8. Nana and Papa
9. He has said Grandpa and Grandma before but I think it still hard for him
10. NO

I love it when he talks to me. I wouldn't trade being his mama for nothing. I'm so grateful the lord blessed me with a prefect little boy to raise and love!

Love you my little Blain bug!

Summer Fun

This summer has been so busy!! In June my sister finally made her way to Utah it had been 3 year since I seen her!! I was so excited to see her! I finally got to meet my cute little niece Charlie she is such a nut!! 

                                           

Me and my Tuna Bug! I can't believe how grown up his is! It made me a sad Auntie to see how big he has gotten! Time goes by way to fast! 

I got to watch Reese for 1 week while my sister and her husband were in Colombia. Blain had so much fun with Reese. They shared a room and every morning Reese would wake up with him and give him toys and books in the crib and sit and play! Reese is such a good cousin to Blain and he adores her so much. It wasn't a bad deal either cause my brother in law bought me a HARRY POTTER LEGO QUIDDITCH set I was pretty excited for that! I will post picture once I've put them together! 

Me and my sweet Char Char! She is such a funny girl it was hard to be angry with her cause she has such a sweet voice and makes everything sound so cute! I wish she was here so I could give her some nummys. 

Me and my Sister! She is my bestest friend! I honestly don't know what I would do without her she always knows what to say to make things better even if its things I don't want to hear! I hope I don't have to go another 3 years with out seeing her beautiful face! Thank heaven for unlimited texting and talking! 

Me and the Har! I miss this little boys giggles they can put a smile on anyones face. I had so much fun getting to know Harry better! I even got him to give me a hug once or twice! 

Making a giant mess with Nana's  newspaper!! The cousin had such a fun time being together!  

Playing in the water at Nana's! 

This boy loved to swing in Blains baby swing...it almost broke your back putting him in there but to see the smile and joy on his face was worth it! 

Dang I make cute babies! Love my baby Blain!!

Blain and Papa watching the marching band! We went to 4 parades this summer, Lehi Round is a family tradition.  We also went to the 24th of July parade in Spanish Fork it was amazing they tried to reenact the 2000 stripling warriors, I don't think they had 2,000 young men but it was pretty close it was so touching see so many worthy young men marching down the street. That was one of the best parades I've been too! 

Blain was pushing Charlie on the car and she was screaming and crying and saying "no baby". Their fights were so funny sometimes, Blain would always steal Charlie's pacifier and she would scream and cry, then turn around and still Blains and think it was a funny game it made me laugh.....then I got tired of it and would hide the pacifier's from them. That thing has become a curse! There is more to our summer fun but I'm going to save that for another post! 

Blain's Birthday Party!

Blain turned 1 on May 16th (a few months back). We had a party with our family's it was a lot of fun and Blain got spoiled. Here are a few pictures from the party.

My brother has always called Blain Brain....and my little niece started calling my sister in law Auntie Joyelle so we are making it stick!

He wasn't too sure about the cake...but then he loved it!

To my Baby Blain-

You have grown so much over the past year.  You are now saying Mama and Dada every morning when Daddy goes and gets you out of bed I can hear you calling my name it makes my heart happy. You can also say horsey and nana (we aren't sure if you are talking about Nana or if you want a banana). You've also started making sounds of a puppy, kitty, horse, cow, snake, and tiger and any other animal that roars. You run around like crazy, and Grandma bought you a rocking horse for christmas that you love to rock on it. I love watching you grow and learn new things it always makes me happy to hear something new you have figured out. I can't imagine life with out you, you brighten up my day. I love being your Mama Baby Blain! Thanks for picking me and Daddy! Love you to the moon and back. 

Blain,

I can't believe how quickly your first year went!! You're getting too big too fast! You can do so many things all by yourself and you're so smart it just blows my mind all the things you already know!! I love how you love animals, especially horses (you truly are your father's son). You are such a loving, caring little boy, I love how you give us snuggles and little kisses (we need to work on the open mouth stuff but we love them all the same). You are such a special little boy and I am so happy that I get to call you my son and that you can call me daddy! Love you Bug!!!

FINALLY

I finally have my VERY own computer....so hopefully that means that I can blog more! I'm not even sure anyone reads my blog! Thank you Jamin for buying me a pretty Mac. Im in love with it! In fact its cuddling me in bed right now!!

I'm a lucky girl to have such an amazing man for a husband. He does so much for me and Blain!

On Sunday I was going through some boxes and found this treasure I can't believe my baby has grown up so fast he is already 15 months old and crazy as ever! He brightens up my day and makes me so happy!! I will blog more about him later!

Road Trip

In September we took Blain to Arizona to meet his Aunties there.....and then to New Mexico for a surprise party for my Grandpas 80th birthday. I was a little scared to take a 3 month old on a 13+ hour road trip but to my surprise he did really GOOD and slept most the time. For my grandpas birthday all my Aunties and Uncles flew in to surprise him...I haven't seen my Aunties in a VERY long time.

 

                         On our way to Arizona! I was really bad at getting picture in Arizona!

 Our first rattle snake in New Mexico! My little niece ran right by it and we are so lucky that it didn't get her my dad and grandpa killed it!  My dad skinned it and dried it and I believe he gave it to Reese as a keep sack! haha

 That's me and my Auntie Pam and beautiful sister!

 Nothing completes a picture better than a pair of mustaches! Just some morning fun with our GG! 

 The sisters ganged up on my Uncle Glenn a tied him to a tree!

 Blains first pair of flip flops! What a cute chubby tummy!

 Auntie Emma and Blain!

 A BEAUTIFUL New Mexico sunset! 

 SURPRISE!!! 

He is the best Grandpa!

 

 

 I know those pictures aren't in order but for my grandpas 80th birthday my sister April came up with the idea that we give him 80 memories from all his family and friends so we got on Facebook and emailed a ton a people to send us memories and pictures and made him a scrape book it was so fun to read the letters he got from old friends and it was so fun giving him the book and seeing his reaction! I love my grandpa so much he is the most amazing man! I feel so blessed to have him in my life and to be able to celebrate his 80th birthday with him! It is a trip that I will never forget!

                                                   

                                                        Me and my Auntie Yvonne!!!
