Halloween 2011

Well we were pretty lame this Halloween. I bought Jacob a cow costume from Costco to go the easy way out on the costume department but saw a really cute idea to make Angry Bird costumes. So I decided to make us all one of those. I was the green king pig, Jared was the red bird and Jacob was the blue bird. It was going to be very cute. Well it turns out Jared had to work the two nights that we could wear our costumes and they were kind of a pain in the butt to make so i probably should have stuck with the cow. 

We missed our ward party because it was on the 14th and i was not expecting that so Jacob and i went to Jen and Michael's ward party. We didn't do pumpkins and we don't really decorate for Halloween. I planned on going trick or treating Monday with the fongs so we could get a picture of us all together but Jared is now working. I was supposed to finish his costume today but i'm not even going to bother lol. Oh well. i got Jacob dressed up and at least he'll have a picture. I couldn't not do anything for Halloween.

There was soup and trunk or treating at the party.

It got chilly while trunk or treating. good thing I brought a blanket. He's not sleeping It's the flash.

We jumped in the bath with the boys and he had a blast. It was all worth it just to get down to SF and hangout with everyone. This video I got off my phone and it doesn't have sound.

Flavor Flaaaav!

Flavor Flav is in Orem Utah and apparently he likes to go to Applebee's. Jared said he thinks they got ribs and apple pie for dessert. He wasn't paying attention. For some reason that was my first question I asked... actually the second. My first question was why on earth is he in Orem Utah. They were making a webisode or something... Pretty random!

For those of you who don't know Flavor Flav he's a rapper... Here's a video of what he's like...

Family photos

We took a trip to Idaho awhile back and Anna took some photos for us. Well right when we got them from her we flew off to Colorado so now i'm finally getting around to posting them. Enjoy!

Thanks Anna! they turned out amazing and we love them almost as much as we love you!

9 Months Old

Jacob turns 9 months today! Can you believe it? I sure can't. He has gotten so big.

As of today...

He is crawling very well. It started as an army crawl and he is getting better

He loves being mobile

He has two teeth

He loves being outside

He is not loving his car seat anymore

He loves discovering new places to go in the house

He talks a lot but no words or syllables yet

He is very good at putting up with all my love

He loves to clap but can't figure out how to do it himself yet

He loves to smack the kitchen floor

He loves to eat food. Sweat potatoes and peaches are his favorite

He loves bath time

He loves to brush his teeth

He has always been and still is a very good baby. People tell me all the time how lucky I am.

I love this boy more then i can put into words. he frustrates me once in awhile but I just have to take a deep breath and look at his sweet face and it melts away. I hope I can be like that when he starts making real trouble for me.

WARNING: lots of pictures!

Here he is standing. He loves to stand.

Discovering new places. Whenever I find him in a new place he always has a huge proud of himself smile on his face.

He likes to go back and forth from carpet to the kitchen

Then he gets tiered

He loves his daddy

I love his face

His two teeth

I went in to get him up from a nap the other day and he was just standing there hanging out. He's been sitting up in his crib a lot lately but this was the first time i saw him standing and i hadn't helped him up.

I need to fix lots of things in my house to make them baby proof... I just don't know how yet.

This was right after a nap. He had some serious bed head. 

Bridal Veil Falls

Kristen and her family always makes me want to go out and do more fun things! 

Her blog is always full of their fun adventures. 

So we decided to have one of our own today!

We went to bridal veil falls and hiked around. Jacob loves being outside and he didn't even mind the cold mist in his face at the top. 

The wind and mist was blowing in his face.

No Excuses

Sorry its been a long time and I can't think of any reasons why. To catch up here is a mod podge of things we've done in the last little bit.

 Bath time!

Also Jacob has found his voice and has been very vocal. At times it can be VERY loud.

We stopped using the baby bath and put him in the normal tub. He likes to take his baths on his stomach now.   He has always loved his baths.

Daddy has been working lots of nights lately which gives us the mornings with him. We like to walk to the park and hang out on a blanket. The weather has been very nice. Jacob was even nice enough to watch Me and Daddy play tennis.

Jacob has two teeth now. I blogged the first one and the second one came in right behind.. can you see them?

We Took a weekend trip up to Idaho to see Anna and baby Stella because we weren't able to make it to the her blessing. It was kinda nice because we had them all to ourselves. Anna even took our family pictures she got some really good ones and I can't wait to get them so I can fill picture frames and show them off. 

On the way to Idaho we stopped for a potty break and to get some gas in the middle of nowhere and there were alpacas outside of the shop! How random. 

I didn't trust this one... look at those teeth and I couldn't see his eyes.
