Cheney Family!

Like always, our visit at my parents went great! We were planning on going to Salt Lake for the interview on the 18th so when they changed their plans we decided to still head upto kaysville that weekend! We went up on March 20th and Coleton and i stayed til the 29th, because Brandon had to come home and teach his classes. While we were there my mom and I went to all my favorite stores DI, Savers, Sams club, better walmart, and many more. I love to find good deals and my mom always finding the best ones so she took me around and boy did we find some good stuff! We found some great toys for coleton that look brand new a singing puppy that you pull behind you, and john deer bike/truck, some cute cloths, and lots more good stuff! It was really fun to just relax and spend sometime together. We also got to try some new recipes. Since she loves to read cook books she finds some really meals and she finds creative dinner and i learn a ton while i am there!
Brandon was able to come up on the weekends and we were able to go with my mom and dad and do some window shopping which we love to do, since we dont have many stores to go to here is Cedar. Coleton loved being up at my parents, they always seem to have good snacks that he never gets when he is at home so he loved life! He did great on the drive there and back and slept great while we were there which was amazing some nights! All together our trip was great, its fun to have a little get aways and spend time with family. We are so excited for this years Cheney reunion. There is alot of fun stuff planned and Coleton is going to have a blast with his cousins and of course grandma and grandpa!

Our Interview with Elder Mask!!

The day we have been waiting for finally came! Brandon and I, since we started with CES, have been waiting for the moment that we might get a chance to have an interview with a general authority! We got a phone call from the CES secretary and we were informed that we would be meeting with Elder Clate Mask of the seventy. The plan was to go up to salt lake city and interview with him on Wednesday the 18th we were going to meet with him in the church office building but with the hiring freeze they decided to do a video conference from the university here in Cedar City which is SUU.
Our interview was in a conference room at SUU at nine thirty. I had heard that the interview would last for about an hour and that they would be mostly interviewing the wife, which made me a little nervous but man were we shocked when we got in. At nine fifteen they turned on the cameras so we started the interview early. He introduced himself and checked Brandon and I's name and then said so you have a child and we said "yes, coleton". He then asked where we were from and said that there was some questions that the first presidency wanted him to ask then interviewed Brandon like it was a temple reccommend interview. After he talked with Brandon said that he had worked with CES and it was a great life for him and his family. Not sure what he was going to ask he said that we did a great job, that we got an A and that he would pass it on to those who needed it and said good bye we both did a wave through the camera and left the whole interview lasted about 10 minutes and we were out of there before we were suppose to start! We walked out of the conference room a little shocked how short it was and that it was nothing like what we expected. Our experience was not like other CES employees but we figure he said we got an A so what more could we want! The plan is that the church will let us know if we are hired on April 17th so we will see!?!

Big Boy

With Coleton getting so big and is having a harder time fitting into anything, so we decided to move him up to the next size clothes which is 12 months.
As I sorted through the new clothes I noticed that there were hardly any one peice outfits and pactically no onesie type shirts. At the time, i didnt think much of it but as he has stated to wear these new clothes, they make him look different.
As i look at him in his new clothes, i realize he isnt a little baby anymore. He's a growing toddler,
a little man!

He is learning so fast and i cant stop thinking about those two country songs "Your going to miss this" and "It wont be like this for long" It is really starting to kick in for me that is really is not going to be little for much longer an man am i going to miss it!

Here is a little video clip of his latest trick....

Coletons 11 months!!

Time is still flying by....
He has such a little personality, he loves to explore and make his own discoveriesand everyday, i look forward to see what he will do!He is scooting everywhere and breaks into rooms, drawers, cupboards, and learning that toilet water is just as fun as a bath!These past two weeks we have made some big milestones!! After a few fussy days, we are proud to finally have one little tooth!!!

With only one tooth it allows him to eat more things like on Saturday morning he sat and watched TV while he was eating a waffle!
And though he can stand for multiple minutes, he is starting to walk!!!

I know i know that is not the best recording of him walking but we realized that its kind of hard to record when there is only two of you!! He is just getting so big and i am starting to realize hes not a little baby anymore!

If only he was a girl!!

I do love having a little boy! He is getting to the age where he will play with his cars and make the noices like them, likes to play outside, and enjoys wrestling with his dad but these are the times i wish he were a little girl.... I have now cut Coletons hair four times!! By the time his hair reaches this length i think to myself that if i had a little girl i could but her hair a pony tail, pig tails, or maybe even some little curls.. but since hes little man we keep his hair short and clean cut! Hopefully the next one will be a little girl that i can take advantage of her hair growing long!!

Cute Moments!

As i read other peoples blogs on the cute things that their kids say i look forward to the day when i will be able to write about what Coleton says but until then i will just have to settle with how cute he looks...The other day we went to get him up from his nap and we found him like this. He normally lays on his back he was trying to pull up the sheet on his crib but he had fallen asleep while doing it!It was one of those moments that Brandon and i just stood there and watched him sleep, it was precious. Then you get those moments that are not so precious like this one.... I guess you just take what you get!! Non the less we love this little guy!
