Happy birthday grandpa!

This post is especially for my dad because today is his birthday and I thought what is more fun then seeing your grandson laughing for the first time! It's courtesy of Mark who does lots of impersenations that Boston just loves! He can always get Boston going so good. Today I tried to talk in another voice and Boston just looked up at me and burst into tears ... haha! So aparently I'm not as good an actor as he is.
P.s. To our British friends, Mark says: "Please forgive me for butchering your beautiful accent [or non-accent if you prefer] as well as exaggerating about your Royal Family and petrol prices, etc.; Boston loves the drama." :)

4 months old!

Boston had his four month appointment today and it was fun to see how much he's grown. He's now 14.7 lbs. (48%tile) and 25.5 in. long (72%tile)! Other than some dry skin he's as healthy as can be! And for the dry skin our Dr. prescribed ... HAWAII (the humidity)!! It just so happens that my dad is working in Hawaii right now so I'm going to do my best to follow our Dr.'s orders or in other words see if I can talk him into letting us come stay with him!

We did just find out we'll be spending close to 3 weeks in California over Christmas break so we're really looking forward to the loooong break! We're going to Palm Springs for a week with Mark's family then we'll visit some friends in southern california for a few days and then spend a week in Sacramento with my family and it couldn't come a minute too soon. = )



Boston is enjoying his "BOUNCY THANG!!"

My favorite time of year...

I don't think I've been this excited for Christmas since I was a little kid ... I think it's because I have a little kid now so it's re-kindled my love for the holidays. I also feel like this past year has been the best year of my life and I have so much to be grateful for. I don't think I would change a single thing about my life. Most of my life I think I've fallen into the habit of feeling like "my life will be better when..." or "I can't wait until..." but right now I wish I could just freeze time and stay in this stage of our lives longer because I know it will fly by too fast.

Someone asked me how old Boston was the other day and I said 3 months then later realized "wait he's 4 months" ... were did time go. I feel like I can't even blink or I'll open my eyes and he'll be getting on the school bus. Is it weird that I already miss him? He has made my life so fulfilling.


On Saturday we put up our Christams decorations and Boston loves to look at them. They keep him entertained for a while so they serve more then one purpose in our house!

My favorite time of the day...

Boston usually wakes up around eight and we always go get him out of his crib and bring him into bed with us. This buys us an extra 30 minutes or on a great day an hour of cuddling with our sweet boy. He's always so smily and laughs a lot in the morning so it's the best way to wake up. He has started sleeping eleven hours straight through the night without waking up to eat!! It's not an everyday occurence yet but it's becoming more and more frequent which has been amazing! It's so fun to wake up to the sound of laughiing and to look over and see my two favorite boys playing together.

Look Who's Talking!

Boston has gotten so talkative (and drooly). The places he talks the most are his changing table and his play mate. Usually when we pull out the camera his eyes get huge and he becomes stiff as a board and dead silent. I think the reason why we always get pictures of him looking at the camera is because he's afraid of it so it took several takes to finaly capture a clip of him talking. I had to sneak up on him.

This is what usually happens:


I finally caught it on tape:

Old News...

We went to a really fun murder mystery dinner a few weeks ago with people in our ward. It was set at a disco club and provided five hours of non-stop laughter. We highjacked these pictures off of the Gunnells blog.

Cameron James is finally here!!

We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this sweet little boy. He was born November 9th weighing in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and 19.5 inches long. We feel so blessed to have another healthy little baby in our family! We are so excited that Boston has a male cousin so close in age to him even though he looks like a giant compared to him right now.


Boston smiled when he saw Cameron ... it was so precious.


A proud uncle.


It's hard for me to believe that Boston was ever that small.
