Moving Day! (Second in six months.)

This round of moving went much smoother than the first time (back in July). For starters, the weather was much nicer (as opposed to 117degrees) and I wasn't 8.5 months pregnant. Most of our belongings were still packed, but we still appreciated all of the great help we had.

Grandma's role was most important....entertaining Baby.

All About Andrew! (Five Months)

Can't get enough of this face! Every time I take Andrew in to the pediatrician, Dr. Burrows comments on how nice Andrew's skin is. I love his soft baby glow!

Getting Ready to M-O-V-E!

We are moving to Saratoga Springs in the very near future. Why didn't I get out the boxes sooner?!?!? They have been great toys and entertainment while I'm busy packing up the apartment. The boys have been so good and really patient and cooperative as I work. It also helps to have some actual, fun toys.

Random and Cute!

More pics to pass the time!

I always love when McKay wants to hold Andrew...especially if they are both  cooperating.

Their outfits coordinate, but we didn't manage to get one of them together.

We love living in Cedar City so family can drop in anytime. We are always happy when the grandparents make a visit.

Also happy when we get to play with cousins!

McKay and Mitchell

Andrew only snuggles with his Grandma Pearson. 

It's rare for him to fall asleep being held, but she has the magic touch!

January 2012

Now that the holidays are over, we find ourselves with lots and lots of time on our hands. Without Nathan home, we play at the park...a lot...when the weather cooperates. 

I also find myself taking lots and lots of pictures.

Here's Andrew's three-month photo (a little late)...

Andrew's first time in the Bumbo...

A sweet close-up...

Andrew's four-month photo...

Andrew's first time in the jumper... 

He's got those fingers constantly in his mouth. Maybe we'll see a tooth soon!

This month we started Andrew on cereal. 

Here are a few shots of how that went...he mostly loved it. 

We spent time at the Cedar Rec Center.

And got an early start on our Valentine's cookie decorating.

Jesus Wants McKay for a Sunbeam

"Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,

To shine for him each day;

In ev'ry way try to please him, 

At home, at school, at play.

Jesus wants me to be loving

And kind to all I see

Showing how pleasant and happy

His little one can be.

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

I'll be a sunbeam for him."

By Nellie Talbot

I can't believe my baby is big enough to go to Primary! I shed a little tear at this milestone....because I had waited so long to have a Sunbeam and because he is growing up too fast. 

McKay could barely contain his excitement all day about becoming a Sunbeam. 

He even wore his crown to church the next Sunday.

New Year's Eve 2011

Grandma and Grandpa Pearson joined us for a cozy New Year's celebration. We made some last minute decorations and had a delicious dinner of steak and shrimp.
