5 months old {sniff}

Today Grant is 5 months old...I can't believe how fast he is growing!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him!! We didn't get alot of smiles in these pictures, but he really is such a happpy baby. He just goes with the flow and loves to be where the action is. He loves to stand up on our laps...He thinks he is such a big boy...I just want to tell him to SLOW DOWN and not grow up too fast.

new fav of my favs

Love, love, loooove this picture!!

Mother's Day Wish Come True...

I have been going through some serious photog withdrawals...Don't get me wrong...I needed to scale back for the sake of the fam...but my one wish for mom's day was a photoshoot with my favs....I started editing today and had to post a few...I haven't even edited half of them...I am trying out some new color stuff...not sure if I love it...but it is fun to play around with it...I am such a purist when it comes to editing...I can't stand overedited stuff...but I got a little sucked in with trying to make these "urban" looking... what do you think..? Sometimes I wish I would have upgraded and got the higher level of photoshop so I could just buy someone elses actions...but I like to figure stuff out on my own...I think :)

How much is that doggie in the window?

Absolutly FREE!!(to a good home)

So if you haven't heard...we're moving to Utah this summer!! We are so excited that Ben got a job up there!! The only downside is Buddy can't come with us :(....He is a wonderful dog...but we will be renting and it seems most people don't go for pets...

Let me share a little about Buddy. We adopted him from the pound about 3 years ago. We figure he is about 4 years old now. He is completely house trained (with or without a doggie door). He is crate trained and we have a large crate that will come with him to his new home. He prefers to be in his crate at night and when we are not home...he seems to get a little anxious without it. He does well with kids. He likes to torment our cat...but they have learned to tolerate each other. He is a good guard dog and very protective. He barks at strangers, but is quick to warm up to them if we show him that we are ok with them. He seems to think he is a lap dog and loves attention, but doesn't demand it. He knows basic commands and can play fetch. He likes to play, but his favorite is to lounge..he is very mellow!! He doesn't walk real well on a leash, but we have been using a gentle lead that seems to help (also comes with him to his new home). He is a big dog....they think he has some lab and some Australian Shepard. Please spread the word about this wonderful dog...If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about Buddy please email me....

A FEW SNAPSHOTS FROM OUR LITTLE POINT 'N SHOOT OF BEN'S MONSTROUS CAKE!! AFTER WE CUT IT IT FELL APART AND ENDED UP IN A BIG BOWL...WE CALLED IT MUD PIE...YUM!!

Happy Mother's Day...

"If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish. We would assure ourselves of healthier minds, more vigorous bodies, to direct the energies of our nation to greater heights of achievement." -President Herbert Hoover

For mother's day we made our moms and grandmas little "cookie cookbooks"...they turned out pretty cute if I don't say so myself :)....We let each of the kids choose their favorite cookie recipe (Matthew picked oatmeal chip, Christian picked peanut butter, Nina picked Snickerdoodles) and then they made it and I took pics...we put the pics along with the recipes into a small photo album and sent them a container of cookies with the book... Here are a few of my favorite pics...

RICE CEREAL

SO, LAST NIGHT WE GAVE RICE CEREAL A TRY...GRANT DIDN'T LOVE IT, BUT BY THE END HE WAS ACTUALLY SWALLOWING A LITTLE. IT WAS FUNNY, BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE EVEN BROUGHT THE SPOON CLOSE TO HIS MOUTH HE WOULD START GAGGING :)

I LOVE GRANT'S FACE IN THIS NEXT ONE..."PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME EAT THAT!!"
