Elliot sat his WHOLE body in this TINY toy! Sooo funny!

I've been able to watch Nolen's good friend Elliot a few times- and boy do they have FUN together! It's so funny to watch them at this age (Elliot is only 3 weeks older than Nolen)- the sharing thing is not so easy! But overall they squeel and giggle a lot together:)

being HOME

i LOVE being home with my baby boy. it has been so fun to see him LEARN and GROW this last month. today while we were at the park- I swang/swung next to him while he was in his baby-swing- and i just thought how crazy it is that i am at this point in my life- ALREADY! all i ever wanted when i was a little girl was a husband and a baby, and a home. got it. LOVE it.

One year picture!

For real? March of this year has by far been the FASTEST month of my life! It flew by without me knowing it! wow- life really does go by quickly when you have kids-mom wasn't kidding! Well here is a list of things that happened last month...1. Nolen turned 1 on the 7th! We had a fun Elmo party for him at Aunt Mel's home-thanks to all who came and celebrated with our little boy:) 2. went to AZ to visit the Banners and Harberstons and meet sweet baby Chloe! 3. went to TX FINALLY to see my brother Mark's family. Oh so fun. met mom and dad there too:) 4. Nolen IS walking- when he wants to...still prefers crawling,but is well on his way to the walking world. 5. Nolen waves and blows kisses- adorable. 6. that's it.

Needless to say last month went way too quickly-busy and so much fun to be with family. LOVE these times in my life. so now you may enjoy LOADS of pictures from yours truly. (sp?)

It's night time and my boys are asleep. I'm awake scared out of my mind. A helicopter was flying over our home a while ago with an intercom..."on the lookout for an armed man wearing...."awesome.

Went on a roadtrip/delivery/job trip to San Fran. this weekend with Owen. Left Nolen with his sweet, wonderful grandparents. It was hard to be away from him for 2 days...very hard. But soooo fun to get out and walk around the city of San Francisco! I walked to the Coit Tower and was so happy I did! I LOVE that city. I think that will be the first and LAST time I go with Owen in a moving truck for that long. Good company- yes. Not so fun bouncing up and down in a huge truck through ghetto Oakland...I was so antsy to see my baby when i got home. He waved at me when he saw me! aw! I LOVE HIM!!

Nolen melts our hearts. Everyday. He is LOVING walking with his truck walker. He is always on his feet and I know it wont be long til hes everywhere! 2 bottom teeth now. Makes us laugh with his scrunchy face he makes and his tongue's in and out moves. He "shakea shakea shakea" with any object in his hands...and "dancin dancin dancin"- when hes on his feet and I say this he bounces up and down and hits one foot on the ground up and down. gotta see it to believe it.

owen is going to internship at a retirment home this semester. Im so proud of him. I think he has really found what he wants to do in the future! sooo close to being done with school!!!

im sewing.what? yep. LOVE IT. hated it when i was younger....love it now. definetly not a pro. will never be. but it's fun and i LOVE all the different kinds of material out there.

Do you remember the movie "Land Before Time"? It was on the T.V. at the hotel owen an i stayed at this weekend. We watched the last 20 mins. SOOOO GOOD!!! I LOVED that movie and still do! My niece Kaitlyn reminds me of Sarah the dinosaur. And Ducky was my favorite character. Remember Petri?

This is a very random blog. it is now 10:40. I need to post some pictures and try to sleep. any noise scares me tonight....there is a man armed and on the loose around here. pray for us.

Merry Christmas!

These are just some pictures from when Nanna and Uncle Mark came to visit us in San Diego! Nolen and I went up to Utah for Thanksgiving and had soooo much fun. I LOVE the holidays in Utah- cold and crisp and just lovely. Nolen had sooo much fun with his cousin Will and all the attention from his Nanna and Papa.
