Here's our Christmas card! Super late. :)

...december

2012-01-16T14:55:00.001-08:00

I have a lot more pics from December.

Love this cute boy!!

Grandpa and Grandma came down for a visit to babysit our kids while we got to go to some Christmas parties. They are THE BEST!!

One of the parties was an ugly sweater christmas party. These were our picks. Jonny's won ugliest sweater. haha

Seriously, I love this sweet face.

On Christmas Eve the boys got to open their jammies.

Their new Christmas jammies.

Christmas morning!! D admiring his popcorn machine from Santa. The thing he asked over and over for.

LOVE this excitement! Easton has got to be the funnest person to watch open presents cause he get SO excited over everything. For example, this pic is him w/a lufa from Santa. haha!

He got the rest of the chipmunks.

And a pillow pet...the kitty...just what he asked for. haha

Believe it or not, this is Donovan's excited face!! haha

Opening a present.

Look at that face!

and for some reason, Donovan decided to smile like this for the week. This is his "cheese" face. :) And this is a pic of the boys making a gingerbread house w/grandma. The boys loved it!

New Year's Eve w/my honey.

This is how D rang in the new year. He ALMOST made it til midnight. It was seriously like 11:55 when we fell asleep. :)

Big man made it all the way past midnight!

Well that kind of catches us up in a fast way. It's been a busy, fun 6 months and I'm sad I had to speed through it that way but there's a glimpse. It makes me even sadder to be moving away from the amazing friends we've made here!

...november

2012-01-16T14:53:00.000-08:00

I don't have hardly any pics from November. I'm gonna say it must be cause I was getting busy w/my Etsy shop. :) We did get some snow and I captured a few shots of my little studs playing in it.

...october

2012-01-16T14:46:00.000-08:00

I found my two little munchkins in the linen closet like this one day. They had emptied the bottom shelf and decided to make their own bunkbeds. They're so innovative. :)

This year for Halloween, Easton was Ironman and D was Spiderman. They are still wearing their costumes.

Iron Man showing us some muscle.

Brits planned a fun ziplining trip w/Jonny and me. It was a first for me and pretty fun. It was in Provo Canyon and I can see how it would be more appealing in the forests of Mexico or somewhere exotic. haha

I have the funnest group of friends here! Once a month we have a game night and for October we did costumes! So fun! I found a sweet LITTLE ninja turtle number at the thrift store.

Two of my fav gals!!

A few more of my fav gals! :)

...september

2012-01-16T14:42:00.001-08:00

My little man started Kindergarten in September. It was a difficult few weeks saying goodbye to my little stud, but it's gotten much better and he loves school!

This might've been from August...probably. But we went w/a bunch of friends to Bear Lake and had so much fun! Sadly, this is the only pic we got.

a million pics...starting w/august

2012-01-16T14:28:00.000-08:00

So I'm just going to drive right in starting with August. It's so weird looking at these pics from when the boys were swimming and it was warm out. We spent a lot of time at our friend's swimming pool.

Donovan had the cojones in the fam.

Meanwhile, Easton spent a lot of his time at the shallow end. :)

The fair came to town and the boys loved the petting zoo part of it.

And the best part was the ferris wheel.

the rest of june and first of july

2011-07-15T13:11:00.000-07:00

I love summer! We've been having to much and keeping busy. Hence the overload of pictures.

We had a ward party and the young women did face paintings and Easton was a HUGE fan. I can't remember, but I think this is a green cat, Easton's request.

And then he asked for a butterfly for the other cheek. He tried really hard to get Donovan to get his face painted, but D wasn't having it.

Jonny was sweet enough to take the boys and watch them while I played in a volleyball tournament. They had a little park there and he took them on this swing thingy and they LOVED it!

Seriously. Loved it.

Easton did gymnastics in June, too! He was a big fan and it was a great way to release some of that energy he has. It was so fun for me to go watch him too. I'm such a proud little momma.

Look who's parents finally decided not to be total losers and got the training wheels for his bike!! He is a big fan. I think if he could do this all day every day, he would.

We had a small little bbq w/some friends for the Fourth of July and they brought some fireworks to shoot off. Here are all the kids lined up watching. So cute!

Easton w/his sparkler.

Then we drove up to White Mountain to watch the show the city put on. It was pretty good and fun to go watch it from the mountain.

And then last Saturday my parents came for the day! We decided to drive out to Flaming Gorge since we'd never been. It was pretty fun. Both my parents had been there tons of time growing up and it was so fun to see my dad so excited to tell us about the places he'd been and his memories.

And this last picture is how we found Donovan asleep one night at 10:30. It's at the middle of our stairs so on the left they go down and on the right they go up (does that makes sense??). But the lights on the stairs were off and I was going upstairs and almost tripped over him. It scared me a bit at first cause I thought maybe he had fallen down, but once I realized he was breathing I thought it was hilarious. He is such a little stinker.

june so far

2011-06-13T17:42:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics I've taken in the last few weeks. Nothing monumental, but a few ones I thought were cute!

The boys woke up one morning and went straight downstairs and turned the tv on. I heard it and came down and this is how I found them. What's funny is that the tv was on like animal planet, or something like that, from the night before. Haha.

And we've had a few days that have been nice enough to put up the kiddie pool.

The other days the boys were in a dress-up mood. Easton was trying to re-create this picture and kept telling Donovan to give him a hug, but D wasn't having it.

And then about five minutes later, they were in their super hero capes.

And then later that day, the boys threw a bunch of blankets and pillows and pretty much anything soft they could find onto the base of the stairs and called it their "trampolene" and jumped off the stairs onto it. Well while I was in my room getting ready, D said he was gonna go get his blanky and he didn't come back for a few minutes. I found him here. :)

And that's pretty much all that's been going on w/us for the last few weeks.

a couple big boys and m.day weekend

2011-06-03T19:44:00.000-07:00

I've got a couple of big boys in the house! Last week we converted Baby D's crib into a big boy bed after Jonny found him trying to climb out one morning. He really does think he's so big now and has done pretty good in it. Every morning he wakes up and comes into our room and yells, "I awake!".

This is his first night in the bed. I couldn't get him to put the gun down for the pic. Apparently he thought he needed a little extra protection. :)

We have finally had a few days nice enough to play outside and I got a few pics of the boys w/their tractors.

And our other big boy graduated from preschool last week! I seriously cried during the little ceremony. I'm so sad that my boy is going to kindergarten in the fall! It's gonna be crazy not having him around all day. :(

For memorial day weekend, Jonny's fam came into town. It was fun getting to see them. Jonny's dad had a new tent he was dying to try out and he promised the boys to let them stay in it one night. D doesn't look happy here, but he got excited after a few minutes. He really doesn't cry all the time, I promise!! :)

Then Saturday we went shooting. It was super fun! Here's a few pics of that.

Hottie hottie!

5!

2011-05-19T13:36:00.000-07:00

My Easton is officially 5 years old! After many many weeks of impatient waiting on his part, I might add. The poor kid had to survive 3 cousins', 1 brother's, 1 grandma's , and 1 uncle's birthdays before it was finally his day. He had the hardest time this year waiting! But I think it was worth the wait. He got to celebrate last weekend w/his cousin Conner, who he idolizes and then on his actual birthday he had a little playdate party. Now for the pics!

We had a pizza lunch at a park while we were in Utah.

Easton w/his idol ready to open some presents!

opening...

G.I. JOES!!!

D had a hard time for a bit. haha

After lunch, we all went to Trafalga.

on the carousel

Easton loved the airplane ride!

The night before Easton's bday, Jonny and I decorated the living room. I blew up 75 balloons (w/an air compressor luckily) and filled the room w/them. We were SO excited to see Easton's reaction. I think Jonny and I had as much fun on his bday as he did. :)

And his big present was the bike so we had it out for him.

So you can't tell here, but he really was excited when he came down on his bday and saw it all! So worth it!

Daddy went and got them donuts for his bday breakfast. Here's D enjoying his...or just the frosting off of it cause that's how he rolls.

For his playdate, all the kids made monsters. Here's a pic of all the cuties showing them off.

We finished the night off w/dinner at McDonalds. I would say that Easton had a pretty good birthday. It was fun taking a day to just celebrate him and spoil him more than normal.

backtracking a bit to VEGAS

2011-04-28T07:24:00.000-07:00

I don't know how I forgot to blog about our trip to Vegas!! It's pretty much the most exciting thing we've done as a family. It was our first "real" fam vacation. It was so much fun! We went w/my bro Preston's fam and my mom even got to come which was so so fun because Easton and Donovan ADORE their cousin Conner and Grandma and of course the rest of the fam. But it was so fun to have a buddy for Easton. Here are some pics! There's a ton.

The boys being entertained why we shopped the outlet malls.

Seriously, look how much Easton loves Conner.

At the Shark Reef w/the golden crocodile.

Conner had a Flat Stanley he took pics with and Easton had to get in on it.

It seriously took me a while to get up the courage to touch these sting ray things. I'm a wuss.

D however would've dove in and gone swimming with them if they had let him.

In front of the octopus.

The four kiddos.

At the M&M factory.

Easton was ready to fight when the pirate handed him the sword. I think Jack Sparrow was a little scared.

At the Dolphin Habitat/Big Cat Reserve. Probably my fav of the week.

With my boys.

You can't see it, but there's a white lion right behind Easton. Jonny told Easton to make his "Grr Face". This is it. :)

We had a pool at our resort and it had a little beachy area that the boys LOVED! Here is easton in his speedo that I adore.

Baby D had so much fun. He kept throwing the ball and trying to kick it. I loved watching them play in the pool.

The boys crashed SO hard every night.

Had to get some pics in front of the Vegas sign.

Hippoty Hop 2011!

2011-04-25T10:07:00.000-07:00

We had a fun little Easter this year. It was a very "private" event since D was still sick. Saturday night we dyed Easter eggs and then while we were at church on Sunday the Easter bunny came and hid eggs and left goodies. Super fun!

Easton got really into dying eggs this year! He had tons of fun decorating them w/stickers.

D and Jonny helped for a bit but (as mentioned before) D was still sick. He went up to Jonny and snuggled right in and said "nie-nie". (night night aka, good night).

This was after the Easter bunny visited us. D found a few eggs and opened them and saw that they were full of candy and that was that for him. He spend the rest of the time eating the ones he already opened.

Easton however had a blast finding all the eggs. Here he is showing off his presents the Easter bunny left.

Hope ya'll had a great Easter, too!!

Baby D is 2!!

2011-04-20T18:54:00.001-07:00

My Baby D isn't a baby anymore. :( I'll probably call him Baby D for life, though. Sorry kid. This is how it's gonna be. Sadly he didn't have the best birthday ever. He was up most the night with a fever so I took him in to the doctor and found out that he has croup and he has pnuemonia coming on. So sad. But we still tried to make the best of it and threw him a little party.

This is the present Easton got him. He wrapped it himself.

Showing off the wrapped present. Don't mind the bunny ears. He made them in preschool and didn't take them off all day. He even tried to take them to bed.

Opening presents.

Easton got him a Sponge Bob DVD. It was more for himself that Baby D, but he'll enjoy it too.

We got him these cool books. Donovan loves them. Look at poor Easton, though. He really wanted a turn and was trying his hardest to be patient. Patience isn't his strongest point.

D was a little upset he was getting a cupcake and not a donut.

He seriously was upset that it wasn't a donut. I had to find the closest thing we had to one. A ding dong. It fooled him.

And Easton was happy to finish off D's cupcake.

a very happy unbirthday!

2011-04-18T19:11:00.000-07:00

Jonny's mom and bro and sis were in town a week ago and they wanted to throw the boys an unbirthday party since they don't get to be around for many actual birthdays. So we went and go some Sponge Bob decorations and set them up while Jonny had the boys upstairs distracting them so that they could come down to a surprise. They LOVED it!!! It was so fun to see them get so excited!

Hola!

2011-03-16T17:25:00.000-07:00

It's been a while...which seems to be a common theme among my blog posts. I'll try to do better. With that said, I really want to upload some new pics and {hopefully} get around to making a new blog header. If you'll look up, you'll notice that ours still doesn't even include Baby D. He's almost 2. I'm all sorts of awesome.

But really not a whole lot has been going on here. We're just trying to survive this Wyoming winter, which has been not so fun. We did hear that we will be moving to McCall in the next 6 months or so which is both exciting and scary. I'm super excited to be moving back to Idaho. But it's also scary cause we have to worry about selling our house now. I do have to take a sec to give a little shout out to Jonny. He's kind of fantastic. He's only been working here for about 6 months and has already been promoted! I'm so so proud of him and grateful beyond words to have him as my hubs and the daddy to my babies!

Well now for the pics! Mostly random ones I liked that we've taken in the last few months.

{We cannot remember where this was taken cause we don't recognize that headboard, but I thought it was precious nonetheless.}

{For New Year's Eve this year we played karaoke for hours! Thanks Pres and Mandy!}

{Our little snuggle bugs!}

{We went and visited Jonny's bro's fam in January and they took Easton out shooting. He loved it!}

{Stud}

{One of the boys' fav things to do is take a bath.}

{And this last Sunday we decided to take a drive and go see what's around this area...which was kinda disappointing cause there wasn't much. But we did go on some back roads and got to take the boys mudding for their first time. They LOVED it! As did I. It was the first time I've been since high school. I think I will def always be a small town girl at heart.}

Halloween 2010

2010-10-31T17:21:00.001-07:00

Last night was our ward trunk or treat. Jonny thought it'd be fun to decorate his truck, so we carved a few pumpkins and made a spooky pumpkin patch. When we showed up to the party, hardly anyone decorated their trunks so we impressed a lot of people.

Can you guess which ones Jonny did and which ones I did?? I was more about getting them done fast whereas Jonny wanted his to actually look good.

This is Easton's preschool teacher Miss Lilly.

My cute little animals.

I was pretty excited that Easton's favorite was the lightning bolt that I made. Only because it slightly resembles both Lightning McQeen and Bolt.

SOO cute!

Donovan just kept hugging Easton like this for like 5 minutes. And Easton kept saying, "I love you, too Zaboomafoo."

Lately

2010-10-26T08:53:00.001-07:00

Nothing too exciting has been going on here, but I thought I'd update w/some pics...which are on a backwards timeline. I forget how to use blogger sometimes.

When we moved into our house, there was a little garden and we had one little pumpkin growing. Jonny picked it about a week ago because it's so cold here, but every day since then Easton's been begging to carve it. Last night we finally did!

Easton drawing the face on.

Baby D pulling out the nasties.

He concentrated sooo hard on getting it done.

Easton's favorite part were all the seeds.

Donovan eating it.

For some reason, I thought it'd be nice to move our tv into our bedroom so that the main floor would stay cleaner. It does, but now our room's always a disaster. I'll take it I guess. Here are my boys watching football.

Thug nasties.

Easton was sharing the chair.

My parents came to visit a few weekends ago! The boys loved having their grandma and grandpa here!

The townhouse connected to us is vacant and we heard a bunch of alarms going off so we called the firemen to come check it out. Easton and Donovan loved it...

...moreso Easton.

These boys...gotta love 'em!

The college here has a cool dinosaur display and some replicas of other stuff. Kinda neat. Here's Jonny making any situation an inappropriate one. Haha.

and the t-rex. easton's fav!

Preschool. What What!

2010-09-16T15:21:00.000-07:00

I don't know if anyone even visits this blog anymore since it's been a few months since I posted. BUT we have had tons going on, which I'm going to have to blog about later because this post is all about EASTON! He started preschool last week! It makes me feel old. But he's adorable when he goes and he loves it.

First: Showing off his new transformers backpack that is just like his cousin, Conner's. [I wanted to get pics of him, but he wouldn't let me til we got one of his backpack.]

Second: Easton chose this location for his "first day of school pic". In the garage amongst all the crap we were refinishing for the house. Good choice, I'd say.

Third: In front of the preschool. He just looks so old to me in this pic.

Fourth: Walking up to the door. And now he looks tiny w/that huge backpack on!

Easton behind the camera...

2010-06-27T19:05:00.000-07:00

Easton's just recently decided that he's an expert on taking pics so I've been letting take over the camera a bit. Here's a few of his first ones.

I think this ones kinda cool. His self-portrait.

And a pic of his baby brother.

4!

2010-05-19T10:13:00.000-07:00

My little Easton is 4! How did that happen?? To celebrate, we had a birthday party w/his buddy Landon. We had lots of friends and some family that we were lucky enough to have come! It was a lot fun!

We got an Iron Man pinata. Easton was pretty excited about it and after the party was over he kept asking where it was. I guess he got distracted w/what happened to it once he saw all the candy.

Amber and I made super hero capes for all the kids. Easton LOVES his!

Donovan really likes his, too. He was just ready for bed.

Easton got a total of four monster trucks for his birthday and he couldn't have been happier! He's been in love w/them ever since Jonny took him to the Monster Jam show a few months ago.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE PRESENTS AND COMING TO THE PARTY TO CELEBRATE OUR LITTLE STUD!!!

Since the day of the party wasn't his actual bday, we gave him his presents from us the next day. He was SOO excited to get El Toro Loco (Monster Truck).

Opening "little Mac". He's been asking for this one since he saw his friends at a super bowl party.

And Donovan wasn't super interested in Easton's presents. Haha. I love that he was sitting here just like Jonny. So funny!

Hair Cut

2010-05-09T17:33:00.000-07:00

Donovan definitely was in need of a hair cut. I've been so scared to mess it up that I've put it off but I finally decided to just do it. It was his first one.

Before.

After.

He looks like a little boy now and not a baby! It makes me so sad to think how fast he's grown up!!

Thanks SOOOO much, Mom!!!

2010-05-01T20:50:00.000-07:00

I have to give a HUGE shout-out to my mom! She came up and stayed w/us for a few weeks to "help" me reupholster our couch and loveseat. (And by 'help' I mean I sat and talked to her while she did all the work). But she did an awesome job and we love them! I still have to redo the pillows so we're not completely done yet, but I thought I better show off my mom's handy work before they're all stained up. I forgot to take pics before she redid them so I found some old ones so you can kind of get the idea.

Before

After

Thanks, Mom!! It was so fun having you here and we really appreciate the work you did!!!!

1!

2010-04-19T20:00:00.000-07:00

Baby D is one! Our family came into town last weekend to celebrate his birthday and it was so fun to have them here! Donovan was so happy and loved having so many people around. He loved his cupcake and his presents. Thanks fam for coming and helping us celebrate!!

(Click on image to see bigger.)

as per chanel's request...

2010-04-12T20:56:00.000-07:00

New pics!! Seriously it's been a while, eh?? So this post is FULL of random pics from the last two months.

I went and visited my mom last month and Easton was supposed to be sleeping in my mom's room and came out like this. Makeup on the eyes and chocolate on the face.

And we got this walker from one of my mom's friends while we were there. Donovan LOVED it!!

Two brothers relaxing at grandma's house.

Jonny and my dad made a book shelf for our play room. Easton thought it'd make a good place to take a nap.

Jonny built the boys this sweet fort. He was just trying to one-up the one I made that was about 1/6 of the size.

Easton in the fort.

Our fantasic friends were awesome enough to take us along on their annual family Easter egg hunt. They had this sweet tractor that Easton loved!

And this even sweeter wagon that they both adored!!

Then later we went to the Durrant's house for some egg dying.

Enjoying some ice cream...

...and french fries.

JENNIE came into town w/Tori last week and we stopped by the temple.

Easton loved these 3D glasses Aunt Jennie let him borrow.

D on the tire swing.

...did I catch a "niner" in there???

2010-02-04T10:17:00.000-08:00

Donovan's 9 months old now! I can't believe it! I know everyone says that about their kids no matter how old they are, but seriously! Part of me feels like it was just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital and the other part can't believe that there was a time when he wasn't part of our family yet. We had my friend Mandie take some pics. Thanks, Mandie!

[In case you're wondering, I had to make them all black and white because Donovan apparently eats too many yellowish foods and it has made his skin look yellow in bright lights].

Too excited not to share...

2010-01-11T18:19:00.001-08:00

One of the designs I made for my fam's etsy shop was featured on the Etsy Storque today (along w/other cool wedding stuff)!!! I seriously am SO excited that I had to share it! (I mean, I can only tell Jonny so many times). Go here if you want to see the full article. This is the design they featured.

Our Christmas!

2010-01-05T07:52:00.001-08:00

We had tons of fun for Christmas this year! We were spoiled cause we got to see both sides of the family this year. Easton was in Heaven! Jonny's fam came up a few days before Christmas and then I took Easton and Donovan to my parents house after Christmas (Jonny had to work). I forgot to take pics at my mom's house, but here are some from Christmas Day at our house. Jonny's fam opens presents on Christmas Eve and since they were w/us, we did it their way.

Here is Easton opening his first present on Christmas Eve. He was so funny opening presents. He was just ripping open every present in sight...it didn't matter who it was to.

Donovan opening his first present...kind of.

Easton helping Donovan out.

Christmas jammies!

Easton on Christmas morning w/his present from Santa.

Christmas Cards!

2009-12-09T10:35:00.000-08:00

So my family has an etsy shop. I don't remember if I've ever blogged about it before. But it's http://www.deanworks.etsy.com/. It's kind of a compilation of a bunch of people in my family's work. They sell journals and custom photo cards. In case any of you are looking for some last minute Christmas cards (not really last minute if you're me. more like 'right on time' haha), you should check it out! I've been helping out w/them and it's been a lot of fun! My brother Preston did a blog post about it here if you want to check it out! But since you all are my friends, if you mention that you saw it on this blog, you can get your cards for $10 instead of $15! Just send an email to theperfectoccasion@deanworks.org and they'll set up a custom listing just for you!

This is one of my favs!

Halloween

2009-11-02T15:04:00.001-08:00

Easton is very into dinosaurs right now and his cousin had this cute costume that my mom made a few years ago, so we decided to use it and get Donovan a dinosaur to match.

This is Easton roaring like a dinosaur.

My two little dinos.

Our fam.

Donovan.

Tori (my niece), Donovan, Easton, and Cody (my nephew)

I just had to get a pic of his little tail. I thought it was so cute!

Pumkins and a Hair Cut!

2009-10-27T16:57:00.000-07:00

With the swine flu going around, why not let your 3 year old ride the toy in WalMart?? But seriously, this was probably the best 50 cents we have ever spent. He LOVED it!

Last week, we decided to go to the pumkin patch. Too bad it was dark when we got there and too bad our camera died after we'd only been there 5 minutes. We still had fun, though.

And then last night we took the one pumkin we got from the pumkin patch and the other three we got from WalMart over to my brother Gary's house and carved pumkins w/them and Brandon and Jennie.

Donovan had fun even if he didn't get to help carve pumkins. He's always happy when food around! (No, that's not pumkins all over his face. Just peaches.)

Brandon make YUMMY Halloween cupcakes!

Tara is so good w/Easton and he ADORES her! She helped him carve out his own custom Easton design.

His was by far my favorite of all the pumkins!

Jonny is definitely the artist in our family...and such a perfectionist. He went w/the Boise State Bronco for his design.

Mine is the cat (as per Easton's request), Easton's, Donovan's (which my sis in law Jennie was kind enough to make), and Jonny's Bronco.

And then today I FINALLY took Easton in for a haircut...his first one done by someone who actually knows what they're doing. I took him to Monkey Dooz cause I thought that was my best bet to get him to actually sit threw it cause they have the cars for them to sit in. They had two options. A grey manly hummer and this...

A pink and purple barbie-style jeep. Obviously, he had to have it! (Notice his expression. He wasn't super excited to be getting his hair cut, but he took it like a man!)

And the end result! I hardly recognize him!

I did a faux hawk and told him his hair was like a dinosaur. That made his day.

It's been far too long...

2009-10-20T09:47:00.000-07:00

I am finally updating my blog. Since it's been a couple months, you'd think we'd have tons going on, but not really. We've just been enjoying the fall w/o having to worry about Jonny going to school! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Donovan is 6 months old today! I can't believe it! He's gotten so big. He can sit up by himself and is eating solid foods. He has two teeth, which I'm not super excited about. But he is just so happy and we can't imagine our family w/o him! My sis took some family pics of us last weekend and here's a couple of him. She's still editing them, so I'll post those later. (Disclaimer: I edited these on my own, so don't judge them too harshly! Brit is WAY better!)

We were at my parents house a little while ago and Easton found this kitty and was pretty excited about it.

He was also lucky enough to get a tracker ride off of one of the guys in Rockland. I know his face doesn't show it, but he LOVED it!

We've taken a few trips lately and Easton is pretty good at traveling.

Donovan before he started eating solids. He didn't like them too much at first, but has really started to enjoy them the last few days.

Love them!

Donovan loved his first swing ride!

And Easton still loves it!

Easton got to go to work w/daddy a few weeks ago and was in Heaven! Probably one of the best days of his life!

I don't even know what title to give this...

2009-08-13T14:34:00.000-07:00

Donovan will probably kill me when he's a teenager, but I can't believe the size of the zit he has on his face right now! I had to share! He's not even 4 months old and he has one of the biggest zits I've ever seen. I took a pic of it yesterday cause it was so big (and I think it's funny) and he woke up and it was even bigger today! These pics seriously don't do it justice.

Yesterday

Today

He's still a stud...acne and all.

It's been a little while...

2009-08-12T11:25:00.000-07:00

I finally loaded some pics from my camera onto my computer from the last few weeks, so this is a pretty random posts full of some of my favs from the last month or so.

Gary came over and played video games w/Jonny so of course Donovan had to get in on it!

Easton decided he wanted to be swaddled like Donovan and Jonny thought it'd be funny to do the rest (carseat, binky).

If you were to stop by our house randomly, this is most likely how you'd find Easton. Nothing but underwears!

Easton has decided that Donovan doesn't really get anything to himself. He literally scooted Donovan over so he could fit in and play.

D'Van after his bath. He LOVES his baths!

I was trying to get a pic of his cute slippers, but you can't really see them very well. They have cute duckies on them.

My cute boy! Loves his Bumbo!

I finished working out one day and went in the other room and came back and found Easton like this. Please note his sippy cup of milk in the cupholder cause nothing sounds better than milk when you're working up a sweat!

Grandma Cochran and Knight stopped by!

Jonny celebrated his 28th birthday so of course we had to have Transformers party hats to celebrate! Easton LOVED it!

And we're awesome parents. Let the guy next to lit candles hold the infant. Of course! But doesn't Donovan look adorable in the little party hat?

At the park. It was super hot so I was trying to get Baby D to drink some water from Easton's sippy cup. Didn't work, but he did like holding it.

And Easton at the park!

Giveaway!!

2009-07-14T10:22:00.001-07:00

So I am so excited! I decided to start my own little etsy shop. I'm selling homemade onesies [similar to some of the ones Donovan's been sporting]. I am just getting started so it's still pretty small, but to [hopefully] help jumpstart things, I am participating in a HUGE giveaway here. There are tons of cool things to win, including the cupcake onesie pictured above that I've donated in size 0-3 months. [The cute little model is my neice, Taya. So cute!. Wish me luck!

2009-07-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

Last night we gave Easton a bath and after I took him out and dried him up and put his diaper on him, I got up to feed Donovan. Well after a few minutes Jonny and I looked over to see this:

Too precious! Easton has never just fallen asleep in a random spot. It was like 7:30, too! So we carried him to bed and enjoyed a nice, quiet evening.

4th of July + 2 Baby Blessings + Family = FUN [and tons of pics!]

2009-07-07T10:35:00.001-07:00

We had such an amazing weekend! All of my fam was in town and some of Jonny's fam was here for Donovan's blessing on Sunday. My brother Preston also blessed his baby Taya and it was so fun! Saturday we had a big BBQ w/both families and played some street hockey.

Easton really wanted to get in the game!

D'Van

We went and watched the Meridian fireworks that night. (I look super tired! It had been a long day.)

Easton loved them!

Our fam after Baby D's blessing on Sunday.

I had to get a pick of Tori and Donovan's matching outfits! Jonny and I gave Tori hers and Brandon and Jennie gave D'Van his. Fun fun!

And of course we had to get all three of the newest babies together! Taya, Tori, and Donovan. (Gary and Tara's baby Cody coming soon! And Jonny's brother Adam's baby Jack also coming soon!)

Love this pic of Easton!

After dinner on Sunday, my fam hung out at Gary's place and lit our own fireworks. Cute cousins enjoying them!

Easton liked watching them from a "safe" distance. He didn't want to get too close.

We had fun w/sparklers.

Sweet star.

All my fam was able to stay until Monday. SO SO FUN!

D'Van the stud!

My cute boys!

So Monday Easton just absolutely fell in love w/Tori! He kept giving her kisses and wanted to hold her all morning. Poor Tori!

My Easton!

To end the fun weekend, we all went to the Olive Garden. Here are all the babies!

Happy Father's Day!

2009-06-21T18:04:00.001-07:00

Check out the sweet hat that Easton made Jonny in nursery today. Easton loved it and did not want to share. I convinced him to let Jonny wear it long enough to take this picture.

Easton put it on right after the pic was taken and didn't want to take it off for his nap. Jonny couldn't resist sneaking in for a picture.

My Hot Garbage Man!!

2009-06-09T17:21:00.001-07:00

So about a month ago I called Jonny at work and asked him what he was doing. I have to say I was pretty shocked when he said he was "at a photoshoot". Apparently his company hired a photographer to take pictures of their new trucks and they chose Jonny to be their model. Haha! I seriously couldn't stop laughing. Not cause I don't think he's model material, but because he was doing it at work as a garbage man. Well anyways, last week one of his pics made it in the paper! I've never been prouder. Haha.

7 Weeks Old

2009-06-08T14:36:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Donovan is 7 weeks old! Seriously! It's gone so fast! He has really chubbed out these past few weeks and I love it! I love chunky babies! We noticed that he is started to look like Easton when he was this age so we pulled out some picks of him.

I think they look a lot alike, but what do you think??

Baby Blessing #1: Tori

2009-06-08T14:21:00.000-07:00

We took a fun trip to Salmon this weekend for the first of many baby blessings in our family. It was for my brother Brandon's baby, Tori. Him and his wife Jennie made it such a fun weekend for us. We got to stay in a cabin on a lake just outside of Salmon. It was too bad it rained pretty much all day Saturday, but we made the best out of it and still had fun!

A little rain didn't stop Brandon, my dad, and Jonny from taking a canoe trip. They were soaked when they got done!

These guys are insane!! They jumped in the freezing water. These are all my brothers and my sister. I'm the only sibling that didn't venture in. (My sis-in-law Jennie and even my nephew Conner also jumped in).

Easton saw eveyone else getting in the water and wanted to be a part of it and started stripping down his clothes saying, "Nakee!". We wouldn't let him but to help convince him it wouldn't be fun Jonny decided to let him dip his feet in.

He was pretty upset after that! Didn't like the cold water!

Donovan and my brother Preston's baby Taya getting ready to leave the cabin and go to church.

All three babies. Tori, Donovan, and Taya. So fun!

Thanks for the fun weekend Brandon and Jennie!!

Fun Day

2009-05-25T19:29:00.000-07:00

It has been so nice not having Jonny in school! We have been able to spend so much more time as a family. It was especially nice having a three day weekend. Jonny's parents were in town today and we went to Settler's Park w/them for a picnic and Easton LOVED the splash pad there. Sadly, I forgot to take my camera so I don't have any pics. But it was tons of fun. Then we brought Easton home for a nap and had to say goodbye to Jonny's parents. After Easton's nap we decided to start enjoying our passes to Roaring Springs. Easton was so funny to watch. Last year when we'd go, he didn't really do a lot and was kind of a wuss, but today he got so into it!

Easton loved this slide and went down it over and over again.

I love how his hands are out trying to protect him from the water!

Such a cheeser!

This is Easton's attempt to swimming...he really did think he was swimming, though.

Donovan was an angel. This is all he did the whole time we were there.

Easton's Birthday

2009-05-19T15:09:00.000-07:00

I seriously cannot believe I have a 3 year old! The time has gone by SO fast! Here's some pics from his birthday.

For Easton's birthday, we got him this little chair. He always stands right next to the tv to watch his movies (probably cause our tv is so small). But we got him this so hopefully he won't feel the need to stand so close. He's loved it so far!

Opening his present from Grandma Cochran.

She got him some books. This was one of Jonny's favs when he was little (Where the Wild Things Are) and Easton already loves it! Thanks, Grandma!

We finished the day by having dinner w/Gary and Tara and playing a little Wii baseball. Easton LOVED it!

Easton's Party

2009-05-19T14:54:00.000-07:00

This weekend we did a joint bday party w/Easton's little buddy Landon. It was tons of fun!

Jonny got all the kids a little "bling" to wear. It was too funny!

Easton blowing out his candles w/Landon.

Loving his cupcake!

He got a pair of sunglasses from his friend McKenna and loves them!

P.S. There was a pinata and that is why Easton is sporting a bandana in most the pics. I guess he didn't feel it necessary to take it off.

2009-05-19T14:24:00.000-07:00

I was super blessed and got to go spend almost two weeks with my parents while Jonny was finishing up school. It was no fun being away from Jonny, but it was great spending time with my parents and sis and they were so much help! And Jonny got a chance to study hard and finished up his Masters!!! I am so proud of him and we're so happy he's done!! Anyways, here's some pics from my parents house.

Easton had so much fun w/my dad! They did tons of fun stuff. Easton found his musical side while we were there. He loved playing the piano w/Grandpa!

My mom loved playing grandma and my boys loved being there w/her!

I think Donovan looks like my brother Brandon in this pic. Here is a pic of him as a baby. What do you think?

And here's just one of my favs of Easton from the trip. What a stud!

Easton's Week

2009-04-28T12:40:00.001-07:00

While I've been busy w/Donovan, Easton's been enjoying his toys, movies, and his grandparents. He hasn't seemed too jealous yet, but I have a feeling that once the grandmas go home, it'll be a little bit hard on him. But he's still been super cute and full of energy for them. Here's some pics of him from the last week.

He pretty much thinks that everything is his and makes himself at home with all of Donovan's stuff.

Grandpa helped him build a race track for his cars.

He wanted grandpa to hold him like Donovan.

One Week Old!

2009-04-28T10:43:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that my new little handsome is one week old! He has already changed a lot and it has gone by super fast! He has been a pretty good baby and I think is starting to get on a better sleeping pattern. He actually slept for about 4 1/2 hours straight last night. Thankfully, I've had a ton of help w/him and Easton. My mom was here all last week and Jonny's mom is here this week and I'm so appreciative to them for that! Here's a bunch of pics of Donovan from the last week.

Baby Donovan and Daddy.

Sleeping. That's pretty much all he does...except at night.

Easton barely even notices he has a brother most the time, but when he does, it's super cute. (Notice his hair pretty much hasn't been done at all in the last week.)

Donovan w/his eyes open in one of the onesies my mom and I made for him. (He broke blood vessels in his eyes during the delivery, so that's what the red in them is.)

Baby Donovan!

2009-04-22T17:06:00.001-07:00

Our new baby Donovan Haws Cochran is here! He was born April 20 at 4:34 pm and weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. Everything went well and we are happy at home enjoying him and love him SO SO much!

Just after his bath.

Daddy loving up on him.

Easton enjoying his new brother.

car picture?

2009-03-30T16:21:00.000-07:00

Lately, whenever I take the camera out to take a pic of Easton, he finds the closest car to him and says, "car picture?" so this is what I get:

I mean, his cars are cool and all, but seriously. How many pics do I need of them??

Preggos

2009-03-13T12:01:00.000-07:00

Since all my sis-in-laws are pregnant, we decided it'd be fun to have a little family baby shower thing, so this last weekend we all went to Rockland to celebrate the new babies. It was a lot of fun to see all their cute preggo bellies and we just couldn't resist taking a group shot of all of us together. (Notice we are outside of Texas Roadhouse and had just finished eating. That's gonna be my excuse for why I look so huge!)

Tara, Mandy, Me, and Jennie. Believe it or not, Mandy is due only like 10 days after me! She is so tiny and cute!

My sis took a few maternity shots of me while I was there.

Me at 33 weeks.

A Cute Giveaway!

2009-03-05T15:02:00.001-08:00

I saw this giveaway on TaDa! Creations and thought it'd be a way cute thing to win and thought I'd share it w/all of you! Hopefully if I don't win, one of you will! Click here for the link.

2009-03-03T08:23:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday Jonny and Easton were playing around and took all the cushions off of the couches and layed blankets down so they had something soft to wrestle on. Well, it was kinda nice to have a "bed" out in the living room, so we left it like that for a few days. It was fun cause Easton would just cuddle right up to me to watch a movie.

Check Out My View!

2009-02-27T12:17:00.001-08:00

When I look down lately this is what I see:

I'm ready for a change of scenery.

Big Boy Bed!

2009-02-19T11:51:00.000-08:00

Easton is finally in a big boy bed and out of his crib! I was pretty nervous to make the switch, but it was definitely time. He has actually done really well w/it. It doesn't hurt that we got him Lightning McQeen sheets. Along w/getting rid of the crib, we have FINALLY gotten rid of his pacifier!! He only complained about it when he went down for his naps the first few days, but he seems to be over it now! Yay!

Easton putting the bed together w/his daddy.

Looks like Easton's doing most the work.

Here is Easton enjoying his bed before we had the twin matress to go w/the bed.

My mom gave me this apron for my birthday and brought it up this last weekend when they were here. Easton had to try it out for himself.

2009-01-28T17:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I put a movie on for Easton and left the room so I could do a few chores. When I came back about 10 minutes later to check on him, this is how I found him.

He had gone into his room and gotten his pillow, blanket, and frog to snuggle up with to watch his movie. Love him!

Ward Party

2009-01-21T14:59:00.001-08:00

My new calling in our ward is on the Activities Committee and last Saturday we put on a ward party. It was themed "So You Think Your Ward Has Talent" and it was kinda like an "un-talent" show where memebers of the ward did fun stuff like skits and dances. Well I decided to volunteer Jonny to do some breakdancing, since he used to do it back in the day. He was not super excited about it, but agreed as long as I let him take Easton on stage w/him to kinda distract from him. Jonny was really nervous cause he did used to be pretty good and he can't do a lot of the stuff he used to be able to do (luckily, Jonny never looks at our blog so I can say that). But he was really cute practicing w/Easton and Easton would get really into it, but of course the night of the performance he got too scared and kinda just stood on stage next to him. It was still lots of fun and everyone loved it! I actually had to be on stage to make sure Easton didn't get kicked in the face, so my brother took a few pics. Most of them turned out blury (cause Jonny moves so fast, haha!), but here's a few we got.

I know this one's super blury, but you can at least get an idea of what he's doing.

Jonny is spinning Easton around on the floor, which he actually does at home and Easton loves! But when he got up after doing it this time he was a little off-balance and dizzy.

This is after they did their performance (Jonny was SUPER glad to be done).

So this is a random pic, but Jonny got me this eliptical for my birthday and I've been trying to teach Easton not to play on it. Well, when I was uploading the pics from the breakdancing, I saw this one of Easton jumping off of it (along w/many others) that Gary had taken when he was babysitting for us. haha. Gotta love those uncles! I thought it was funny.

Christmas Pics

2008-12-29T13:26:00.000-08:00

We had so much fun for Christmas. My mom and dad came up to spend it w/us and it was so much fun having them here. Easton was way more fun this year! He loved the whole idea of opening presents and once he would open one he would be so excited about it that he'd forget about opening any others. Once they all were openend and set up, he would just go from one thing to the next over and over. He was in heaven!

On Christmas Eve we let him open his present from Grandpa and Grandma Dean.

My mom made him this blanket and he absoluetly LOVES it! He asks for it each time we put him down for a nap or bedtime.

Easton admiring one of his presents on Christmas morning.

He was even excited about his coloring book.

Yup, he's still in love w/cars!

My dad and Jonny were enjoying Easton's presents as much as he was.

Jonny's present from me. It's a bike helmet to go w/his new bike (that he got himself. haha). Doesn't it look more like a motorcycle helmet?? He thinks he hardcore.

Easton trying out Jonny's helmet. He kinda thought all the presents were for him.

This is the present from my aunt and uncle. It's Mack and McQeen. He has also asked to take this to bed w/him pretty much each time we've put him down. Thanks, Uncle Jimmie and Aunt Cheryl!

He LOVES it!

Easton woke up w/some of the best bed hair I've ever seen! I loved it!

Easton w/his cousin Conner. My mom made him this dinosaur blanket, too.

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-23T15:39:00.000-08:00

We hope you all have a great Christmas! Love you!

We're having a...

2008-12-15T12:20:00.001-08:00

BOY! We are super excited that Easton's gonna have a little brother to play with!

2008-12-10T13:22:00.000-08:00

Here's a bunch of pics of what we've been up to lately.

We went to my parents house for Thanksgiving this year and the boys and Brit (the rest of us are pregnant) all went repelling. Here is a pic of Jonny going down the rock.

Gary and Easton on the way back to Boise.

Last Saturday we were in the mall and decided to see if Easton would sit on Santa's lap. He wouldn't.

Jonny finished cleaning up the last of the leaves in our backyard and Easton decided to help him out.

Gary putting up the lights on our house.

Monday night we finally put up our Christmas tree!! Easton seriously loved it! His "helping" was actually not really any help, but he had a lot of fun.

Jonny helping Easton put the ornaments up.

Our fam w/the tree all put up. As you can tell, I was SUPER tired by the time we were done. I'm gonna blame the pregnancy.

Idaho Steelheads Game

2008-11-25T13:34:00.000-08:00

We haven't really been doing a lot and so I haven't really had anything to post in a while, but Saturday Jonny got us some hockey tickets. We went w/Gary and Tara and one of Jonny's friend from work and his wife. It was a lot fun to go out and have a date night. I was disappointed that the only fight that broke out was a pretty pathetic one. I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping for something at least somewhat aggressive, but oh well. We still had a good time.

In this pic I was trying to make it so my head didn't look huge next to Jonny's. This angle is never flattering and my trying to compensate didn't really help. haha

Pumkins!

2008-11-01T16:35:00.000-07:00

The day before Halloween we went over to some friends' house to do some pumkin carving (they are actually some of our best friends' parents/family). The two days before Halloween they buy TONS of pumkins and have lots of people over to help them carve and then put them in their yard for Halloween. This year they had 150! It's so cool to see them when they're all done.

We didn't carve any of these ones, but I thought they were cute...and so did Easton.

Jonny decided to do the BSU bronco for his pumkin. He got really into it! He had a picture of the logo and just drew it on from looking at it. It turned out really well.

Easton didn't love carving the pumkins, but he did like it when he got to "help" daddy. Daddy did not like it as much.

Here are our pumkins! Mine is obviously the gay spider. Did not turn out like the vision I had in my head, but it was still fun. Jonny's turned out really cool, though.

Here's their house with all the pumkins out and lit. This pic isn't the best, but you can kind of get the idea. So fun!

Halloween '08

2008-11-01T16:22:00.000-07:00

I feel like Halloween went on for a week this year! Easton got to wear his costume 4times (thanks Mandy for letting me borrow it and thanks Mom for making it!). Between parties, the zoo, trunk or treat, and actual Halloween we definitely got into the Halloween spirit. Luckily, Easton loved his costume and had no problems keeping it on. Trick or treating was a lot of fun this year because Easton actually got the concept and had tons of fun collecting candy.

Us before we headed out to Warm Springs to go trick or treating. Notice how we bundled up...I did not realize it was going to be SO warm!

Easton did really well trick or treating and wanted to walk (and run) all by himself...most of the time.

After a while, he did get tired, though and had to have daddy, "hold you" as he says.

Halloween Party and Boo at the Zoo

2008-10-27T10:58:00.000-07:00

This weekend we had a lot of Halloween fun. Friday night some friends had a costume party so we decided to go as characters from the Wizard of Oz. My mom made Easton's lion costume and I made Jonny's and mine.

Here's Easton in his lion costume.

And here's all of us.

At the party, the couples all competed against each other to see who could get the most gummy worms out of the whipped cream. Here you can see Jonny cheating by biting the pan and moving it to where I couldn't reach...and Easton watching intensely.

They had a pinata for the kids. Here's Easton's attempt to break it.

Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a lot of fun. This is us at the zoo.

Jonny and Easton ready to go see the real lions.

New Hat

2008-10-20T10:37:00.000-07:00

This weekend my parents were in town. My mom bought Easton a cute little hat. The whole time she was here, he pretty much refused to wear it for more than a couple seconds. Well this morning I guess he decided it is good enough for him. He came up to me with a huge grin on his face with it on and seemed pretty proud of himself. He's been strutting around in it all morning.

Stroller Giveaway!

2008-10-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

I have a friend that just posted this free giveaway. Since we're about to have our #2, I thought I'd enter and give it a try. You all can enter, too! Who doesn't like free stuff??

2008-09-29T09:57:00.000-07:00

Well, we have some exciting news! We are going to have another baby!! The baby is due April 25th, which means I'm only 10 weeks along. So just for fun, I went to a website that morphs your pics together to show what your kids are supposed to look like. First, I did pics of Jonny and me now and the result is this:

Pretty scary, huh?? I think Easton got lucky! But then I used some pics from when we were little and this is what showed up:

Not quite as scary. I'm hoping the next one looks more like Easton, though!

Our Little Cross-dresser

2008-09-23T14:12:00.000-07:00

So maybe Easton's been spending a little too much time around me. First, he wanted his toenails painted and then today he decided to strut around in my high heels. Maybe Jonny and him need to take a little Guys' Night out.

Playing at the Park

2008-09-16T12:18:00.000-07:00

Last week Jonny and I took Easton to a little park near our house. It was one more for bigger kids, but he still LOVED it! Jonny helped him so he could play on all the big kid toys. Here's some pics of all the fun!

So sad!

2008-09-02T10:45:00.000-07:00

Well if any of you have seen Easton in the last few weeks, you've probably noticed that he really needed a hair cut. I love his hair long, but it was getting in his eyes so I finally broke down and cut it this weekend. It pretty much happend throughout the whole weekend, too. I would cut a little off and not like it and just keep working on it. Well, this morning I finished the job and am very very sad about the outcome!! It's so short! I think I better start letting the professionals do it because it's going to be such a long time before it's long and curly again!

2008-08-27T16:46:00.000-07:00

I'm a little bored waiting for Jonny to come home from work, so I decided to post some pics from our play date yesterday. I went with some friends to Planet Kid. It was a lot of fun and Easton loved it!

2008-08-24T11:21:00.001-07:00

This past week we got to go to Western Washington to visit Jonny's family. We were so excited to go spend a week with them camping on the beach and doing other fun stuff that we don't get to do here in Boise. However, the day after we got there it started raining and didn't stop until the day before we left! And on top of that, Easton got an ear infection in the middle of the week and was pretty sad the rest of the time. We were pretty sad. We did get to go camping one night and the last day some of their family friends took us wakeboarding. It was still really good to get to see them and even though it rained, we had a really good time! Here's some pics from the trip.

Grandpa playing w/Easton!

Easton's favorite part of the trip was the many times Grandpa let him "drive" his truck.

The day we went camping we went on a hike out on a spit that is 5 miles long and goes to a lighthouse. This was one of Jonny's favorite things from when he was younger, so he was really excited to go again. I am not a huge fan of hiking, but I figured it was really just walking 5 miles on a beach. I was very very wrong. It was cold and 5 miles is a lot longer than I thought. When we got to the lighthouse, it was neat, but not really worth the long hike. PLUS, once you do those five miles, you have to turn around and go back. No thanks! Anyway, this pic is of Jonny and Easton on the hike. Easton had it ruff. He's sleeping here. I wish I could've done it his way!

However, we got to see a baby seal up on the beach! This was my favorite thing of pretty much the whole trip! It was so neat and so cute!

Easton playing w/a stick.

The lighthouse!

The baby seal was still there on the way back, so I had to get another pic of it! It was seriously so cute!

This is Jonny's dad using the wake skate. He's pretty good!

Easton was sick here, but wouldn't let us leave him so he came out on the boat w/us. He was in and out of sleep the whole time.

Jonny wakeboarding. He had SO much fun!

Me wakeboarding. I loved it! It was only my third time going and the other two times I don't remember it being so fun! I definitely wanna boat now!

On the way home we passed this HUGE waterfall (it's kinda hard to tell from the pic).

Love My Fam!

This post is a little late, but last weekend my whole family came up to Boise to visit us and we had SO much fun! Friday was Jonny's bday, so we went to dinner at Johnny Carino's then ended the night w/some awesome Dean/Cochran family karaoke! So fun (even though I am completely tone def!)!! Then Saturday we all went to Roaring Springs for the day. Also fun! Then we got some family pictures taken that evening and went to Sonic for dessert afterwards. It was SO awesome having all my fam here! They are the best and so much fun to be around! Thanks for making the trek up here guys! Love you!

Tomorrow is our fourth anniversary so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. Even though most of the pics are horrible and embarrassing, I decided to post a bunch from the last 4+ years of our lives. If you click on the pic you can read a little bit more about them, but if you don't care just ignore them. haha. Also, there are a bunch of typos that I was too lazy to fix.

we finally went camping

Let Me See Your Grillz

2008-07-21T09:08:00.001-07:00

The other day when we were at the grocery store in the checkout line, Easton started pointing at some candy and saying, "Please?". Normally I ignore him and don't let him have any, but when I saw what it was he was pointing at, I had to get it for him. It was a sucker that had a "grill" on it. Hilarious!

Saturday night Jonny and I got a much needed "date night" (thanks to my bro Gary for babysitting Easton). We went out to the Olive Garden. We love our Easton, but it was so nice to go out to dinner without having him whining and eating all our food. This is the only pic Jonny would let me take, so I decided to post it.

My Newest Pages

2008-07-17T15:44:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to start do more digital scrapbooking since I've got all the stuff to do it. The problem is that it takes me FOREVER to finish a page and then when it's done, I'm still not really happy with it. But these are my most recent pages that I've done. I know, I am really behind!

Roaring Springs w/Daddy!

2008-07-12T21:47:00.000-07:00

This morning Jonny finally got to join Easton and me for a visit to Roaring Springs. Easton really enjoyed going w/his daddy. Here they are in the wave pool. I couldn't believe Jonny got Easton to go in there!

Jonny took Easton down the slide and loved it. Everytime he got to the bottom he said, "AGAIN!"
Getting splashed. I love his face in this one. He did spend a little time w/his mommy.

Our 4th of July

2008-07-08T14:00:00.001-07:00

Here are some of our pics from the 4th. We had a blast! We spent most of our day w/our friends Todd and Nicole and their daughter McKenna. We started the day off by going to the Melba parade. I've gotta say that I was surprised by how big of a deal it was for such a small town. It was fun and Easton really enjoyed seeing all the cars. That evening, we met them over at our friends' parents house for some swimming. We were excited to finally bust out an inflatable jet ski we got Easton at the end of the summer last year. Of course, we all had to try it out. Why should Easton have all the fun?? But then we finished the day by watching the fireworks show at Ann Morrison. Easton loved it. He just sat back and watched in awe. It was pretty adorable!

My Little "Man"

2008-06-23T11:05:00.001-07:00

Friday night I decided it was about time to paint my toenails again, so I got out my polish and started. Pretty much immediately Easton was over by my side watching. He put his toe by mine and started saying, "Please!"

I had to give in...

He was pretty please with the results! He went and showed daddy right away. He wasn't quite as pleased, but it was fun for me!

Roaring Springs!

2008-06-16T15:18:00.000-07:00

Easton and I went to Roaring Springs today w/a few friends. When we first got there, he was having fun, but then he fell under the water and got scared and pretty much clung to me for the rest of the time we were in the water. We took a break to go get a blue popsicle, which cheered him up (however you can't tell from the pictures, he dropped a ball and wanted it back). Then we went on the lazy river and he sat on my lap and he LOVED that! It was a fun day and I'm so excited it's warm!

Easton and mommy. I'm not sure why he won't smile anymore. Maybe I have been taking too many pics of him...

He had fun just running around and playing.

Our Memorial Day Weekend

2008-05-27T09:02:00.000-07:00

Well I hope everyone had a great three day weekend! We didn't do much of anything (which was actually kinda nice). Sadly though, Easton got sick. This is pretty much how the whole three days went down:

He just cuddled us all weekend! It was super cute, but sad cause he was sick. He spent a lot of time watching movies and here they are watching Curious George on the computer. He slept a lot and woke up SUPER early (at least for me). Thankfully, Jonny got up w/him cause he can't sleep in very late. Easton came up to our bedroom door a few times looking for me yelling, "MOM!". It pretty much made my day cause usually he's a daddy's boy. He's so precious!

Fun in the Backyard

2008-05-21T15:04:00.000-07:00

We've been spending a lot of time in our backyard since the weather's been so nice (except the last few days), but Sunday we pretty much stayed out there all evening. We got out some of Easton's new toys he got for his birthday and played. It was a lot of fun and he enjoyed all the toys! Thanks again everyone!

Easton Birthday!

2008-05-18T22:08:00.001-07:00

Easton's 2nd birthday was Saturday, so we had a few friends over for a little party. We had a BBQ and a little kiddie pool for the kids. It was fun, but Easton played by himself for the most part. haha. It was pretty funny. All the other kids were having a blast playing together and Easton'd be in the sandbox by himself or just wandering around. He's so funny! But he still had fun. And when we did presents it was REALLY hard for him to focus after getting his first present. However, he's already enjoyed each one of his other ones since then! Thanks to everyone that came!!

A Happy Mommy's Day

2008-05-13T12:19:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pics from my mother's day. It was a great day that I got to spend w/my boy and my hubby.

Here's my fav little guy in the world!! I don't know what Easton's doing. Just like his daddy I guess. haha.

Here are my two favs! Aren't they precious??

A little ride...

2008-04-28T14:36:00.000-07:00

Last night we celebrated my mom's birthday out on the patio since the weather was so nice. Easton LOVES being outside and was having a blast. Instead of riding his little tricycle, he was pushing it around so I thought, "Why waste it. I'll hop on for a ride." He thought it was hilarious. I realized I didn't fit on it and was probably close to breaking it, but he thought it was so funny I had to keep doing it!

2008-04-28T14:22:00.000-07:00

So the other day Easton was in my room playing on my bed while I was doing a little cleaning and he started chatting away. I look over and see this:

I wonder where he gets it?? haha!

A Day at the Zoo

2008-04-24T14:36:00.000-07:00

Jonny's mom and brother were in town a few weekends ago and Karma decided to take her fav grandson (and only) to the zoo. Easton liked it alright, but what he loved was the giraffe slide! Poor Uncle Tyson got worn out taking him up it over and over and over again!

So we've started blogging!

2008-04-24T08:24:00.001-07:00

Due to requests from various friends and family members, we've decided to start a blog. I'll be honest, though. Not very many fun and interesting things happen in our lives. Just typical day-to-day life stuff. Of course we think that every little thing Easton does is adorable so most likely that's what'll get posted. It should be fun, though!
