What I mean when I say busy!!

I know I always say I am busy, but this cute little munchkin really has been keeping me even more busy lately! He has had chronic ear infections since the spring so we have gotten to go to the pediatrician and urgent care more than anyone should, so finally it is time for tubes. He saw the ENT and is scheduled for his little surgery next week. This poor kid has also starting starving himself because of food allergies!! We just saw an allergist this week, we already knew he is allergic to milk and eggs but they are doing more extensive testing to figure out what else is on his allergy list. He has started to refuse soy formula so we are now trying Nutramigen but things are not going well so I am sure we are soon onto a more expensive formula!! I just want my poor little baby to feel good!!

WE LOVE...

stuffing (who taught her that??)

mom's deodorant
(she really takes it everywhere)

dora tights
(I had to hide them so she does not wear them everyday and night!)

being big enough for the wagon


the kitchen floor and pretend cell phones

and we LOVE to chill!!!

the baby giraffe

We got to take this crew...

(Spencer, Malachi, Omar, Sienna, and Abby)to the Hogle Zoo...

to see this 9 day old baby giraffe!! Oh and the baby snow leopard and baby meerkats (sp?), it was quite the baby day at the zoo!

Thanks for coming with us Spencer and Abby-- we LOVE playing with you guys!!

Alex & Tara

We made some of our greatest friends right after we got married... Alex and Tara went to our church and we all clicked!! They are a big reason we miss SD so much!! This past weekend they were in town and we got to go to the Real Salt Lake game with them and then spent more time swimming, picnic-ing, hanging on a farm, playing the wii, and just chillin!!

We love you guys and miss you so much!!

me, Tara and Ava

Don't these two look blissfully happy together??



Thanks for a fun date night!

Alex and Sienna- the diaper heads!

PLEASE MOVE TO UTAH!!!

Our little albino Mexican!

That is O and I's little joke-- but really how did we get such a white little half Mexican?? We are not too sure but we LOVE him! I thought the months flew by in Sienna's first year but they have gone so much faster with this sweet little munchkin! My little baby is already 8 1/2 months and growing and changing so much!

Here are a few of my favorite things about my sweet baby Mac....


I love his bright blue eyes!

He loves to be held and snuggled and I love it!

I love that he is so easy-going about being tortured by the bigger kids!

I love his mischievous side-- if there is trouble to get into he sees it and gets there as fast as possible, he keeps this mama on her toes!


I LOVE his big smile-- how can you not??

We love you Malachi and are so happy we get you FOREVER!!
