Valentines Day

This year for Valentines our gift to each other was a new car. We had been thinking about getting a new car for a while because we need more space for all the baby gear. I had no idea how much space little people take up!! But, it gave us an excuse to get a nice new car. We decided to get a Toyota Rav4. It is so awesome, my favorite part is the smart key entry you just have to have the key in your pocket or purse and pull on the handle and it opens! And I love the seat warmers!! Ohh they are just amazing! They make my butt so toasty and warm!!!! L loves the stereo system it's like a JB stereo system or something like that. He always turns the base up soooo loud! He just loves it!!! Here is a picture! He is so proud! I also gave L and M.J. A little puppy love gift basket! So the picture is of M.J. And the little stuffed puppies that came in the gift basket. I love my Valentine's so much!

Summer 2012

So L has found out where we will be moving for the summer with his job at Pinnacle.  It is defiantly not my first choice of places to go, but it should be quite the adventure, and it will be very hot and sticky!

That's right Jackson Mississippi!  I'm actually pretty excited to go sense I have never been to Jackson Mississippi, and that new movie The Help was featured there, obviously it was set about 50 years ago, but it still should be pretty fun. 

We actually will be starting out our journey in Memphis Tennessee, but then we will travel down to Jackson after a few weeks.  It will be quite the adventure!  Hopefully all will go well!

5 months old

I can not believe that my little boy is 5 months old! We celebrated his 5 month old birthday a little while ago, and I am a little bit late posting this but oh well.  We weighed him the other day, just on a store bought scale and it said he was 20.5lb.  Crazy, I can't believe that.  He has already more than doubled his birth weight!  But then, I read this articles about women giving birth to 14 or 15lb babies and he seems small compared to them!  Well he is just all over the place these days, well trying to.  He is so close to crawling he gets up on his knees and moves a few inches and then gives up lol.  I don't think he realizes how close he is yet.  He is very demanding though, he wants to be entertained all the time, and he always wants the attention on him, which makes it very difficult to get things done around the house, but I try to enjoy every day with him.  He is being a little bit of a stinker though because he refuses to sleep in his own bed.  We get him to fall asleep in there and then 20 min later he is screaming his head off like he is being tortured.  Or we get him to sleep and then gently move him into his bed and it is like we but him on a bed of nails he immediately starts screaming.  So he has been sleeping in our bed, which is not that much for for Mommy and Daddy, but I would rather get some sleep than no sleep at all!  Hopefully we will be able to get him in his own bed soon.  He loves books, and he loves plastic.  He also learned how to blow spit bubbles and vibrate his lips together so he loves to do that.  He is just so much fun!  He also loves other little kids, he just stares and stares at other kids whenever they come around, so we probably will have to give him a little brother soon.  But we just love our little M.J. and can't wait to see what happens next!

We got him a little Walker so he can learn to walk, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet! He will soon though!

He started sticking out his tongue all the time.  It is so cute because L does it too when he is concentrating.  Father like Son.

Aquarium

The other day M.j. And I went on a fun little outing with one of our Friends. She has two adorable little kids, one is just 4 days older than M.j. So M.j. Always has so much fun when we get together. We decided to go check out the living planet aquarium down in Sandy. It was pretty cool. They had lots of fish, penguins, and even otters. I was pretty shocked at how packed it was though considering it was 10 a.m. (that's right when they open) on a Tuesday. Oh well, my favorite thing I think was the Sea Horses they were pretty cool! I was a bad mom and didn't take too many pictures but here are a few.

SuperBowl

I love the SuperBowl. It's so fun I just hang out with family and watch football. This year was no exception. M.j. Had a blast of course he loves watching football and playing with his Daddy. I was pretty proud of myself though, early that day I had told L that I thought the score would be 21 17 Giants! And I ended up being right!!! Now if only I had bet some money on that! Here are some pictures from that fun day!
