Much Rejoicing

Dad will be happy (that is, both Aaron and my dad). Go Bama!

Mia Mia

Aaron had to go out to Utah for a couple of days for work. The timing ended up being perfect because Aaron's brother, Adam, and his wife, Becki, had ther first kid on Monday, so Aaron was able to meet Mia when she was only a couple of days old. She looks like a cutie.


With Aaron visiting the newest Mia, it made me think of our good friends, Owen and Britni and their little girl, Mia. We hung out with them the Saturday before I delivered Blake, which is when this picture was taken. Mia was already asleep when we took the picture, but trust me, she is a cutie. A couple of days after we had Blake, they moved to New Mexico and we sure miss them.

Great Hair Part 2

This is what Blake's hair looks like after a nap (and pretty much the rest of the day).

This hairstyle does take a lot of work. It can only be accomplished after sleeping, which involves moving his head along his crib's bumper as much as possible.

Getting Stronger

Blake really wants nothing to do with crawling right now and wants to stand all the time. Today we were playing in his room and he leaned over and grabbed the crib and wouldn't let go. He stood on his own for awhile before he realized that he doesn't have the balance yet to stand and try to pull off the ties to the bumper in his crib at the same time.

First BYU vs Utah game

We all survived the big game. Now Blake appreciates the rivalry.

Great hair

Don't you just love his hair? He likes to pull his own hair and of course my hair.

Happy Thanksgiving

Aaron played his annual Turkey Bowl game and pulled out his football for the game. Blake had to be like dad, but couldn't get his hands around Aaron's football, so we pulled out a football that was a little more Blake friendly. Does he look like he is ready to throw the ball? Future quarterback?

Blake is sporting what his grandpa likes to wear...a Hawaiian shirt.

7 Months Old

Notice his sock...I'm telling you, it is hard to keep socks on his feet.


Blake was super tired at church, but couldn't sleep because there was too much going on (or something). We got home from church and went to get him out of the car and this is how we find him--totally knocked out AND holding on to the car seat. He loves to play with his car seat. This time was no exception.


Drool much?

Wii

Some friends let us borrow their Wii, so we had to check it out. Who do you think is having more fun?

Homer visits Snakey

Yesterday we had an unusual surprise when a special guest dropped by the house; none other than the star of the longest running sitcom (celebrating 20 years this year) decided he wanted to visit. Not only did he pose for a couple of pictures but he brought along his adorable garden snake to show off to us as well.



We looked long and hard to find a snake costume (store after store) but to no avail. So, Michelle ended up making what you see here. (Not too bad huh?) We will have to teach him that snakes don't have claws--but what do you think, pretty menacing huh?






Every year at work we get together and decide as a group who we want to dress up as for Halloween. This year after much debating "we" decided that this year we would be the Simpsons. I think it was a great decision--what do you think?
