We dont really have internet at our new house so when i can get on i do but right now i thought that i would put up some pictures that i have been waiting to be put up here they are... In our old apartment we didnt have room to have a changing table so i had a changing mat on the floor that i used and there was a book shelf with school books that Coleton would look at all the time and when he started to use hi hands he would play with them and thought they were so interesting now that we have moved they are now gone and i think he misses them (ok so maybe i miss watching him play with them!)
So i think that i am the only one that thinks this is so funny, what you can not see is that his shirt and bib say "Action Hero" on them and when i was getting his bath ready i cam back to him like this and i just think he looks like his own little action hero with his cape!!
The bath use to be really a difficult time because he really hated it! Now he doesnt really enjoy it but he is ok with it but here Brandon was just taking some snap shot of it and i really liked some of them!
I really love when he gets this little smile and normally he will make a high pitch sqeel with it!
Maybe this is normal but i know that alot of babies suck their fingers but he doesnt do that he chews on his fingers which i think is funny!
He was shooting for his mouth and missed! But got to admit kind of funny!
One of me and Brandons thing is that we dont want our kids sleeping in bed with us so coleton was really happy that he finally got to lay in mom and dads bed!

He hates when his hands are wrapped up (which i do before every nap and bed time) but if i dont this is what happens his hands get free and he starts hitting himself in the face and starts crying, this time he luckly fell back asleep after he got free!

I just love babies in hats and you probably can tell that the hat is way to big but it went good with the outfit! i just love this little guy!

We're Here!

We are finally here!! We got to utah Saturday the ninteeth after going through so much to get here! I had started packing up our apartment about a month before we started to move and we just barely made it by Friday night. With Coleton, i had to pack while he was napping, so when he got up from his naps he gradually started to see his house disappearing. Everything was going ok until the day before we moved and i had to take down the large picture of Christ, which we recieved from Del Parson who lives by Brandons parents, that was located in our dining room. Coleton stared at the picture all day, everyday and it let him know that he was home. Well after taking it down he woke up from his nap and realized it was gone. With fear in his eyes he turned to me and started to cry, he could no longer tell he was home. It was so sad! For the next four to five days he had a really hard time ajusting since after packing up the house we kept switching houses so things were never the same.
Friday night after spending all day loading up the Uhaul and cleaning the apartment like crazy, we went to our college graduation. We were so excited to finally reach that point we barely made it to the ceremony because we were packing but once we got there both of us proudly walked across that stage. We were lucky to have family there, my parents, Brandons parents, and my brother Brent, his wife, Kari, and my neice, Alexis. Right after taking pictures with the family we hopped in the car and drove away. We didnt leave until about ten from Rexburg so we didnt reach my parents house until about two a.m. Saturday morning. While we were there we had a chance to finally relax. My parents just put in a pool so while my mom watched Coleton we took a long swim in the ninty degree water while my dad made us homemade soft serve ice cream from their machine, it was heaven. After we had our half day vacation we decided to head to our new home in Cedar City!
We left about two in the afternoon and drove during Coletons nap, but unlike the last time we traveled to Cedar Coleton was not wanting to be in the car. He had been through so much the week before he wanted to be held and played with so the car ride took a little bit longer and it was hard to hear him crying in the back seat :( We finally made it to Cedar about ten p.m. and unloaded our u-haul. The house is beautiful! Brandons parents have put so much effort into making it so nice and we are so happy to be moved in finally. We hurried as fast as we could to get everything unpacked in the three bedroom two bath home and by Monday night we had gotten most of it finished (These pictures are of a few rooms in our new house).
Though Coleton had a ruff time adjusting to to move he is getting back to his happy, giggly self which we are so glad to see!

Fourth of July

This year Brandon and i realized that this was our third year being together though the first year we had just met we could hardly believe it.

With the day off of school, we decided that we would get up on Friday morning and go to the Rexburg parade. We walked to the park where the parade was ending and watched all of the floats. We all wore our red, white, and blue and loved the warm weather. It was really sunny and the tempurature was just right. Coleton was a little unsure about all of the people and the loud noice. In the picture he was a little confused when the fire truck came down the street, Brandon and i tried our hardest to cover his ears enough so it didnt hurt his ears, but of course after a couple minutes he became so tired he was able to fall asleep even with all the noice! After the parade we walked back home and started on lunch. With us moving in two weeks we tried our hardest to use all of the extra food in our kitchen so homemade pizza was the lucky winner. After lunch we took advantage of coletons nap and took a nap ourselves which was much needed! That night after Coleton had fallen asleep we went outside of our apartment were we sat the year before to watch the fireworks but to our dismay we never saw them!? We are not quite sure why we could not see them so i was definately bummed out!

The next day we walked to the park to play catch and when i got coleton dressed to go i found a little baseball cap that i was in love with i thought it was so cute, didnt really match but he looked adorable!!!
