My Cutie!

Wesley is just so dang cute! He got some new church clothes for his birthday, and today was the first time he wore them. I couldn't stop laughing at his cuteness, like a mini missionary. I am so grateful for this little boy, he keeps me going. I was just thinking about our time together and our mornings are the best. He always wakes me up and is so sweet. We share a bowl of cereal while cartoons or something is on, so I can wake up all the way, and just for that 15 min we are sitting on the couch next to eachother is my favorite. I am enjoying our time together before another bundle of joy joins us.

It's A Girl!

My ultrasound was today, on my birthday, which was kind of cool, and we got to find out what baby #2 is, A Girl! I didn't believe it until the end when I asked her if she thought there was any chance it'd be a boy, don't want to go crazy and have a boy surprise us, haha, and she said she's pretty positive. I couldn't believe it, I thought for sure I'd have two little boys runnin around. Everybody I know is having a boy and I thought girls are just hard to come by. I am so excited, but now I have to get all new stuff, can't reuse any boy stuff, oh well, it should be fun!

1st Birthday!

So this last Saturday, the 19th, was Wesley's 1st birthday. It was a lot of fun. We had about 20 people at my house, which is small, mostly family and just did pizza and cake and ice cream. The theme was the Cars movie because Wes is obsessed with cars and that movie. He got some really cool gifts which we are very greatful for, but I think his favorite was the cupcakes! He had cupcakes before and totally went to town on it, it was so cute! I can't believe it's been a year already, he got so big so quick!

Our Christmas

So, Christmas was fun but busy and wore us all out. We woke up early and had Wesley open the presents we had got him, mostly cars, he's obsessed. It was cute, he actually tore off the paper, but wanted to play with the toy after opening it and didn't understand why we were setting them aside. He would've been happy with just one present, but it was cute. We then went over to my mom's and had breakfast there and we all opened more presents and played with the kids. Robbie's sister had Christmas over at her house this year, way out by the estrella mountains, far. We had lunch there and opened more presents. We don't get to see some of Robbie's fam as often as mine, so it was fun to visit with them. Wesley is the only grandchild here in town, so he was loaded up with gifts. I was sick the whole week of Christmas and it was hard to put on a smiling face for the whole day, but it was a good day and we did have lots of fun. Wesley got so many toys he doesn't know what to do with. And his birthday is in 3 weeks, he'll be a spoiled little boy.

Growin Up!

I really can't believe how fast time flies! Just one day about a week ago Wesley started walkin on his own, just a little ways at a time, but he loves to do it. He is so independent and wants to do everything himself and his way. I can't believe he's 10 1/2 months already. It's just like when he was 4 months he got 2 teeth and didn't get any more until the last month 4 more popped through and 2 more are coming in. It's like they go from baby to boy so quick! It's so fun to watch him learn new things!

Thanksgiving

So, it's been a little while, but for our Thanksgiving this year we got to go to Sea World. My mom wanted one last trip with our whole family before my brother goes off to college. So, we ate a big lunch on Thanksgiving, that was awesome, and drove to California. I was really worried that it would be a hard trip with Wesley because he hates being in the car, and for 6 hours I just didn't know. But he did so good and Sea World was so much fun! I hadn't been since I was like 7 or 8 years old and it was so cute to see Wesley's face with the animals. He loves animals, especially puppies, which they had a dog show and he loved it! His other favs were the penguins and the seals that you could feed fish and just barked at you, he just laughed at them. The picture is after the long day and we were both very worn out!

A Tribute To My Brother!

My brother Korey just got home from his mission Monday night the 12th. We were all so excited, but his flight came in at 10 at night, so we couldn’t spend much time with him, just at the airport. We all went over to my Mom’s house tonight and had a belated birthday party for him. It’s so great to have him home again. Korey was such an awesome missionary in Mexico and I am so proud that he was so dedicated to the work. It is weird seeing my little brother grow up, but he is a great example to my other 3 brothers!
