Getting Sooo Big

Colt is getting bigger everyday. He has started saying dada and he loves to make noise. He pounds on EVERYTHING and is finding his voice in the worst places (like church). Colt surprises me how fast he can get somewhere- especially up the stairs. This past week, I took him in to get a vaccination he missed and he weighed in at 21 lbs. 5 oz. He is heavy!! I don't know where he ranks on the charts but believe me when I say he will make your arms and back tired! Next thing I know he will be walking!! AAHH!

Only in Pocatello

Both days we woke up in Pocatello for Faith's baptism the ground was covered in snow! Sunday morning had about 4". Hallee and Jadyn were heartbroken that I hadn't packed their hats, gloves, snow pants and boots. They wanted to build a snowman and play in the snow. But when we got back to Nampa, we didn't even have an ounce of snow (it was actually 52 degrees). So- I thought I would post a picture of last winter so even though we can't play in our own snow we can still enjoy the memories until we get OUR first snow (I don't want it until Christmas Eve!).

What's New....

It has been a while since I updated my blog. Jason headed out to Tampa, Florida to earn some extra money. He worked for ServicePro (pest control) for only 2 weeks but he did awesome! We are so thankful for him and the hardwork and sacrifices he makes for our family! We love you Jason!

When Jason headed out to Florida we headed out to Pocatello. We stayed about a week with Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Kelly. It was nice to have some help and the girls (and Colt) just love their grandparents (and their cousins and aunts and uncles too). We had alot of fun seeing everyone and getting spoiled! :0)

Did I Say 1 Haircut?

Before

Before

After

Hallee has been asking me for a haircut for weeks but I wanted to get her 4 year old pictures done before I chopped it off. Well, we got pictures last week and so she has really been wanting a short haircut to her shoulders (that's what she told me). I took about 3 inches off and she loves it! Hallee went straight to her room and put on a princess dress when we were done. Jadyn saw the whole thing and thought she would get in on the action too. I gave her a little trim. She was so excited but so wiggly the whole time. I'm hoping the cut is straight but it is a good thing her hair is curly!

Can't You Tell?!?

We just gave Colt his first haircut. The first picture is the before and the second picture is the after. If you can't tell, he really needed a haircut. :) Actually, none of my kids seem to get the 'lots of hair gene' but Colt had about 20 hairs that were 2 inches long growing down the center of his head. So, Jason took the clippers and gave Colt a 3 on top and a 2 around the sides and back. Jason said he also had a mullet in the back that we had to clean up. You can see all the hair we cut in the sink. It wasn't much but it was really fun giving our little boy his very first haircut. (Look how happy that handsome boy is!)

What about Jadyn?

I noticed that I haven't written anything about Jadyn thus far so I thought I would. Jadyn is the most strong willed kid I know. She is so smart and she is her dad's best buddy. If you see Jadyn, she is probably wearing basketball clothes because she says she is a basketball player (which Jason and I would both love). On Saturday night we were taking a bath to get ready for Garth's blessing and I asked whose church we were going to the next day nd she replied, "Heavenly Father's Church." It was so cute.

Look at what I can do....

Just another update on Colt. Just in the last week or so Colt has cut in another tooth (now he has 5), he has started pulling up on things and walking the furniture, and (my favorite thing of all) he can say MAMA!!! It is always a race between Jason and I to see whose name he will say first and- I win!! He is so ambitious and growing up so fast! I think I have finally decided Colt's eyes are brown, like mine, so that makes me happy too! We love this little guy so much! (The first picture is Colt trying to master the stairs- he has climbed up 3 so far before being busted and the next picture is my first vinyl creation on our new machine.)
