Holiday Cards from Shutterfly.com

I'm so excited to send out holiday cards this year!! We recently got our family pictures taken by my good friend Cindy and they turned out great! I wanted to find the perfect holiday card to go with our perfect family picture. I was so happy when I found the cutest Holiday cards at Shutterfly.com. There were so many designs to choose from I almost couldn't decide on just one! A few of my favorites are the Holly Frame, Red Revamped, and Cinnamon Candy Lace. I chose another card but you will have to wait and see which one when you get our holiday card in the mail!! It is simple and classic and it highlights our family picture just right!

Funny Boy!

I caught my little man playing in the kitchen!! This time we were playing peek-a-boo. But most of the time you will find him in the middle of the kitchen floor with all of my pots and pans and mixing bowls and spoons! He LOVES it!! He will sit in the kitchen for so long stirring and stirring and stirring. He's my little chef in training!! :)

I just love his cute face!!

Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween! Mya was a pretty pink butterfly and Liam was a skeleton. We had fun going to our ward's Trunk or Treat and going Trick or Treating on Halloween night. Mya was all about getting candy! Liam hung out in the stroller and looked cute!! :)

Liam did not like standing in the grass for pictures. Haha!!

So Mommy had to hold him!!

Such a cute skeleton!!

And a beautiful butterfly! Mya LOVED her wings!! She wore them everyday for a whole month!!

Our Little Guy Turns 1!

Our little man turned 1 in September. We can't believe how fast he is growing up!

At 1 Liam crawls and walks - started walking without assistance

-says mama and dada, duck, dog, bath

-loves to play with his sister

-loves to take baths

-still doesn't eat much

He is such a good baby and we are so happy that he is in our family!

We love you Bud!!

I made his birthday shirt and hat. He wasn't too sure about the hat! Haha!! But it made for some super cute pics!! Love this little guy!!

He didn't want to put down the play ketchup bottle so it's in most of these pics. Silly boy!!

Opening presents. Liam got lots of help from his big sister. I think Mya was more excited about it!! :)

Cake time! I made a baseball cake to go with his baseball birthday theme. It turned out pretty cute and tasted yummy!! Again, Liam wasn't so sure about it. Haha!!

Is it true? A new post?

Yes it is!!

I will be adding new posts to catch up on my blog. I know, it's about time! :^)

After I get all my new posts up I will change the dates so they are in chronological order but for now they will show up as new posts!!

July 2010

I love the month of July! Independence day is my very favorite holiday and July also happens to be my birthday month!!

This year we went to Kanab for the 4th of July festivities. A parade, playing at the park, some family time, lots of fireworks, Brandon's high school reunion and a trip to Lake Powell! We had so much fun!!

Parade

Mya and Landon loved getting candy at the parade. Don't you love their matching and festive necklaces!!

Liam and Mommy watching the parade in the shade.

Fun at the Park

These two were inseparable the entire weekend. They are such good friends!

I love these pics of Liam with 2 of his cousins Cole and Makenna. Being the baby of the family Liam got lots of attention and he LOVED it!!

Brandon's class reunion

Brandon, Ben, John and Rod. These guys are a bunch of goofballs!! When they get together they instantly become teenagers again. Haha!! It was fun hanging out with the guys and their wives. I wish we could do it more often. (Jessica & Chelsea - Next time we need to get a pic of the girls!! :)

A Day at Lake Powell

Mya and Landon having lots of fun!

Liam wasn't too sure about the sand but he sure looks cute in is swim gear and hat!!

Mya loved playing in the sand!

We had so much fun going out on the boat. My bro-in-law Ben even let me drive! It was so awesome - I got to drive really fast!! Seriously it was so awesome!! Brandon rode on the tube a few times and then at the end when we were heading back to shore we put Mya on the tube(going slow) and she LOVED it!! She still talks about Ben's boat and riding on the tube!!

(Tiff-if you're reading this would you see if you can find the pics of Mya on the tube. We used the camera that was on your boat. I would love to have those pics!! :^)

8 months old

I need to get this posted before my little guy turns 9 months!! Ooops!!

Mya lovin' on her baby brother! So sweet!!

I LOVE this picture! Liam loves to chew and bite this play food chicken leg. I think it's so funny to see such a little guy chowing down on a chicken leg!

Liam is doing so many fun new things lately. He is really learning alot and is so much fun to play with.

New Tricks: baby push ups - he pushes up on his and and toes and sticks his bum in the air - so cute!!, gets on his ands and knees in the crawl position and rocks back and forth really fast like he is ready to take off (I'm guessing he will be crawling very soon!!), sits himself up, rolls and scoots himself around, scoots backwards, clicks his tongue, smacks his lips

Likes: bananas and anything with bananas in it, sweet potatoes, playing with toys by himself, having his big sis make him giggle, snuggling with momma, relaxing with Daddy, balls, when Mya sings to him (his favorites right now are Bibbity Bobbity Boo and It's a Small World - they will almost always calm him down), when Mommy/Mya dances crazy, playing peek-a-boo

Doesn't Like: getting dressed, sitting in his car seat for very long, when momma leaves the room, cutting teeth

Fun Facts: He has 4 teeth. He cut his bottom 2 first, then 1 of his top teeth, and the other top tooth just poked through. I just LOVE seeing his toothy grin!

His hair is definitely blonde (it may look red in the pics but that's just the camera playing tricks on you!!) and is in the crazy sticking up all over phase!! :)

He has found his voice and loves to use it! Lots of loud shrieking and chitter chatter. He says Dada alot. I'm still working on getting him to say Momma!! :)

He is very ticklish and gives the cutest giggles!

He likes food but isn't in a hurry to eat it. He will take a bite and then wait sometimes a minute of so before he wants another bite. It makes for long feeding sessions.

I love getting him out of bed when he wakes up. I always get lots of snuggles and he will pat me on my back - it's so my favorite!!
