A very fancy Mister...

How cute is Mister all dressed up for church? He was a very reverent boy...

We're back baby...

The shop isn't quite as plentiful as it once was, but the items are just as cute (if not cuter). I use to make the items after the orders were placed...now I will be making them and then listing them in the shop so I don't get behind. Hence the reason that I wont have as much for sale...so get them while you can. Very happy to be open again!

Coming soon...

Im getting ready to open the shop back up...hopefully really soon. Im going to have some new items. This is just one of the styles that will be available. Hope you like it. I made a couple for the girls for sisters up coming family photo shoot.

Im for sure not going to be pumping out the headbands like I use to...well with Mister demanding so much attention and being so irresistible and all.

Mister and the great outdoors...

Another beautiful day for you, my baby to enjoy outside.

you love to look up at the trees and the sky...

The birds were singing just for us...can you believe it?

and we discovered a few hidden treasures in the yard...

all tuckered out from a big day...

New yard...

Sarah and Oscar came over yesterday and we enjoyed our newly landscaped backyard. We finally got all of our landscaping done and it has seriously been the nicest thing ever to have a yard to lay on. I will put some before and after photos on soon, so you can see the whole thing. We really love the way it turned out and so does Mister.

Jude and Oscar being lounge lizards...

Boyfriend taking very good care of the grass...

Once we get the siding on the shed/garage, our house will be pretty much done...can you believe it?!

You have opened my eyes...

When I look at Mister, I seriously cant believe that other people feel this way...isn't it crazy? I also remember after giving birth to him, the realization setting in that for every person that you see, a woman did that for them. (something I hadn't really thought about pre-mister) It is just such an amazing thing. I also use to think this world was a little unfair, that somehow some men felt they were the dominant sex...again, until I created, delivered and fed a baby from my body. What could be more powerful?

Mister and his mobile...

Yesterday, I heard giggling coming from the room where someone was supposed to be napping. When I went in to see what was so hilarious, I found Jude fully inthralled with the mobile mommy made him. This made me very happy...I have taken a TON of verbal abuse from a few ladies in my life (who will go unmentioned) about only taking iphotos, so Im trying to have my camera readily available...now i just need sister to give me a few lessons on how to use it. Im quite bad.

Mister biggie smalls...

Growing up Mister...

Mister is getting SO big, can you believe that he is 2 months (last sunday the 16th)!? Mommy loves her Bubsies.

How could I not...just look at that face.
And he thinks he is 15 trying to hold his own bottle. (Freak down everyone...that's breast milk in that bottle.)
We blessed Jude on Sunday (photos to come of him in the DARLING silk sailor outfit my mom made...TDF) Thank you so much to all of our friends and family that came from near and far to be there with us, it meant so much to us to share Jude's special day.

He also had his 2 month appointment at the Doctors.

Jude is...

24 1/2 inches long

12 1/2 lbs.

You are getting so big baby Jude. I love watching you grow each day, seeing and learning new things. You love to smile and laugh but most of all you love to suck on your hands. You have rolled over a couple of times (video to follow, if boyfriend will ever edit my annoying baby talk voice out of the background) You are the apple of our eyes. Sometimes I spend forever rocking and singing you to sleep only to miss you so much while you rest...I cant tell you the feeling that I have for you...It feels like more than love.

Our favorite time of day...

Every evening at dusk, Boyfriend and I walk with Mister up to the Temple. It is beautiful. There is nothing more peaceful.

The flowers are Amazing...

Don't be scared of me...I had been swimming all day...no makeup, wet hair.
Jude loves to look at the lights and the water...
and there is a beautiful view of Utah Lake.

Then we take Mister home...give him a bath...warm milk and its off to bed. (if we're lucky)

Nutty at the pool...

Don't you just love how concerned Estee was!

"Nutty" is what Boyfriend calls him.

We went to Jen's house for a swim...He didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry...so he just opted to suck on his hand.

And, last night we went to our friend Leah's. She gave us a ton of veggies from her beautiful garden. I couldn't help but take a photo...when I was cutting up the tomatoes the smell reminded me so much of my Grandpa. We would wake up to fresh vegetables from his garden on our doorstep in the morning. He was SO cute.

Me and Mister...

Jude...I just want to squeeze you sometimes!

How we do...

You like to...

Dress up in your business casual...
Put things in your mouth...
go for rides...
Hang out with Daddy...
Go for more rides...
Stretch your long legs...

Look like Mommy (maybe you don't like that so much but I do).

Oh Jude, I love you so much. Whenever I look at your face I cant tell you how familiar it is to me. I have know your sweet face long before I was on this earth. Sometimes I still cant believe it...you are mine for eternity. When you are laying in my arms, I look you over...loving every inch of you... In awe that I (along with our heavenly father) made you. You grew in me and I nurtured you. I think I did pretty good.
