wakely's month of b's

This month definitely belonged to wakely. It was a big month for him. He celebrated his eighth birthday, got braces on his teeth, and was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He had both grandma's and his beautiful Aunt L all come from Utah just for him. Bridger sang I am a child of God at the baptism -his first solo act and i thought it was sweet.

three times a charm?

As many of you are aware,
I had two horrible ectopic pregnancies last year.
Well... I am now 6 weeks PG (i know I am still early)
and we are really hoping for the best. It has been
quite an emotional roller coaster for me the last few weeks
but so far things are looking good and I should
know by the end of next week if
all is in the right place.
~~~~~~
Joe will be in Puerto Rico for the
upcoming month beginning Monday so
my mom (bless her heart) will be here for the next week
or so until I find out what is going on with me.
+ I haven't been feeling so hot so that will be good to have her here for that too. :o)

So... you may recall a post from back in October where we were the proud parents of our two thumb suckers who sucked no more! well, the other day i happened upon Bridger taking a nap (which he hardly does anymore) but I was a bit disturbed to see this ~

Lucky him - he got another application of the 'yucky stuff'.
I am hoping that was just an isolated incidence.
Note: As I was writing this I thought I should just
check on him and sure enough busted again!

what a a cute kid! we are so blessed to be in his family. a few things he has being doing lately are... flips on the trampoline, had his first cleaning at the dentist (which he did such a good job!), and even posed for a photo shoot with his dad behind the camera... please be warned: they are a bit on the indecent side

point defiance

about a week ago the kids & i went to the zoo with our good friends the mendenhall's
~thanks to their membership we get in gratis ~

maria telling me to come on & to not be scared! rrrrroar ;o)

OK, now i'm scared!! ahhhhh

keep turning! keep turning! wo dude!

i swear every time we go to leave this place we have a run in with the peacock! this time he pretty much had ryland pinned against the van and every time i opened the back of the van to put the stroller away he acted like he was going to hop in so i had to be super quick. frightening!

how do you recycle your cereal box?

Finally, the last of catching up - make sure you scroll all throughout January as I have just recently finished a few posts that I started at the beg. of the year!!! yikes!

Before we left for the Christmas holidays my son Bridger made this hat. If I recall it was suppose to make him look like a lamanite or something like that. Anyway, I thought he was being pretty creative.
