Joshy's New Obsession...

2010-02-11T15:40:00.003-07:00

He loves reading his books, but he REALLY loves THOMAS! We started showing him some Thomas and Friends videos on Netflix and he is so into them. My cousin had given us some Thomas shoes that didn't fit her son anymore and he started playing with the shoe like a train, so we finally went out and got him his own train. We always sing the tune of the theme song to him, and he goes around singing doot doo doot doo doot doo doot doo! So cute! These are just some pics I caught of him the other morning when I saw him lounging back on my bed reading 'Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See?' Oh, and the last picture is his "Where'd it go?" hands.

Christmas '09

2010-01-10T19:15:00.003-07:00

We are here in Tennessee now living with my parents for a while and it is great! We have had a lot of fun over the holidays and are now starting to get back to real life. We just got done with our first bridal show here in Knoxville, so that's really exciting! I'll post pics of that later on. Here are some pictures from Christmas. Joshy got lots of great toys and clothes. He is doing great and is learning how to walk. He is taking more steps every day.

1 Year Old Photo Shoot!

2009-12-09T21:08:00.003-07:00

Here it is! He was so cold and tired, but we got a lot of cute ones. He wasn't excited at all about sitting in the cattails as you can see. But I had to put that cute sad face on here! Which one is your favorite??

One Year Ago Today!

2009-12-09T15:05:00.002-07:00

It was a snowy day on Dec. 9, 2008 when our sweet baby boy came into the world, just like today. I can't believe it's really been a year since then. It has been the biggest blessing in our lives to have Josh in our family. His spirit is so sweet and I just love him more and more each day. He has grown and learned so much in just one year. It is truly amazing! And, he's the cutest thing on the face of the planet. Happy Birthday big boy! I'll be posting is 1 year photo shoot soon.

Joshy's 1st Birthday Party!

2009-12-05T22:52:00.004-07:00

We had such a fun time at Josh's 1st birthday party! He loves Mr. Bear, so we did everything in a bear theme. The cake took forever to frost, and I have way too many cupcakes leftover (anyone want some?) but it turned out great. First we ate pizza and bear-shaped jell-o jigglers, then we played 'pin the nose on the teddy bear' and 'musical bears'. The kids may have been just a little too young for these games :) but it was fun anyway. We sang to Joshy as I helped him blow out his candle and got a lot of help from cousins and friends to open up Josh's presents. He got so many great toys and cute outfits. Then we stripped him down to see what kind of damage he could do to that bear cake! He wasn't way into it, but did manage to get a little bit messy. Thanks to everyone who came and partied with us and thanks so much for the wonderful gifts!

Temple Square Lights

2009-12-05T22:43:00.002-07:00

This was Josh's first time going to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. It was soooooo cold! But the lights were beautiful as always. I tried to get him to wear his mittens, but he kept pulling them off, so eventually I just had to wrap a blanket around his hands really tight to keep him warm.

Thanksgiving

2009-12-01T23:22:00.002-07:00

We started Thanksgiving off at the park in the freezing cold - but it was way fun. Then, we had a yummy dinner and played fun games with Todd's family.

Josh and Spaghetti

2009-11-30T21:32:00.003-07:00

Just a little video of Josh doing some of his tricks while eating spaghetti :)

Christmas Jammies

2009-11-17T13:16:00.001-07:00

My cousin gave me these adorable Christmas jammies that she used with her little boy. They are so cute! Especially the little hat. Doesn't Josh look so festive??!?

11 Months Old with Mr. Bear

2009-11-09T22:06:00.006-07:00

Joshy is 11 Months Old! So crazy! This is the bear that our friends Virginie and Cedric gave to him when he was born and he absolutely LOVES it! He always just attacks Mr. Bear every morning when he wakes up. It is so cute. So I decided that we'd do a bear-themed birthday party for him next month. These pictures are for his invitations. And here's a picture of him at 6 weeks old with Mr. Bear

Pumpkin Patch

2009-11-08T12:49:00.001-07:00

Here are some pics from our pumpkin patch outing before Halloween. It was way fun!

Josh Climbing Stairs

2009-11-08T09:37:00.004-07:00

Josh has been climbing up the stairs for a while now, but yesterday, he learned how to go down!

Halloween

2009-11-02T22:32:00.004-07:00

Josh and Eden got to go trick-or-treating together and they had a lot of fun! We went around in Todd's parents new neighborhood. Josh held is pumpkin bucket for a long time all by himself. They got lots of good candy for their parents!

My Best Friend Meghan

2009-11-02T21:58:00.002-07:00

My best friend Meghan from Tennessee came out to visit us a few weeks ago. I've lived in Utah now for 9 years, so it was a good time for her to come out and see where I've been all this time! It was so much fun! We went to the Bountiful Temple to see the view at Sunset... We went to Temple Square... We went to Antelope Island... and saw some bison... and we hung out in Park City... We also did a photo shoot of Joshy! He turned 10 months old while she was here in Little Cottonwood Canyon and Park City and of course, we went to Cafe Rio! Yum Yum! I had so much fun Meg and I'm so glad you were able to come out to see us! It was too bad I was sick the whole time, but it was nice to have my own personal nurse! Love ya!

Still shots from our State Fair Video

2009-09-17T22:18:00.005-06:00

Here are some still shots I took from the video footage that Nathan Pickett took of us at the fair.

Utah State Fair 2009!

2009-09-12T22:23:00.002-06:00

I love the fair! This was Josh's first time to the fair and he had a lot of firsts. He rode a pony, slid down the BIG slide, rode the ferris wheel, petted the animals and even tried a little cotton candy (whoops! he's fast). Well, I am so excited because our friend Nathan Pickett came along and shot video of us hanging out as a family. He is such an amazing videographer and gave us a sneak peek of the footage and it is AMAZING! I will post the video here when it's all edited. It was so much fun! There are only a few more days of the fair, so if anyone is interested in doing a similar video shoot with Nate, just contact me or him.

9 Month Stats

2009-09-09T12:42:00.002-06:00

Josh weighs 18 lbs. and is 29 inches long.

He is in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. He's a tall and skinny boy. Josh did good at his appointment and there were no shots today. Just a little heel prick for a blood test that came back great!

9 Months Old - 9/9/09

2009-09-08T21:00:00.006-06:00

What a big boy I have. He just melts my heart every single day and amazes me more and more with everything that he knows how to do. Most of the things I don't even teach him, he just learns them on his own. We haven't done a photo shoot in a while so I knew we needed to get out and do it. He was a good boy, but just didn't smile very much for us. He was way too interested in looking at all the new scenery and the cat that was following us around. If you look closely, you can see his 2nd tooth in there on the smiley picture! Isn't he the cutest?

Kissin' Cousins

2009-09-06T21:47:00.002-06:00

We had dinner at my Grandma's house and got to see some of my cousins and family. This is Bethany...Josh absolutely attacked her! It was so cute! He is one affectionate little boy.

Oh yeah...and he has TWO teeth!

2009-08-30T08:41:00.002-06:00

You can only see one in this picture, but the other one just broke through. Hey got that first one back in July. He can now eat "big people" food and order from the kids menu! He also can feed himself.

Oh yeah, did I mention he's crawling??

2009-08-30T08:35:00.008-06:00

He had fun at the park playing and crawling on all the grass.

What Josh has been up to

2009-08-27T22:48:00.003-06:00

Josh likes going to bluegrass concerts with momma and daddy

and riding on the boat in Island Park and going to the grocery store (well, maybe he didn't love that part) and wearing a do-rag he loves chewing on daddy's key and taking naps with daddy and playing on all of Nana's toys that are being stored in our garage and standing up by himself and playing at the mall on the toys! He is crawling all over the place and getting into everything. His little personality is showing more and more and he's so much fun. He is definitely a momma's boy and I love it.

Great-Grandpa Hinckley Our dominos table in the water Some of my family came out to Utah for a week and we had a jam packed week full of family reunions. Mom and Dad set up their music equipment at the park and we had fun playing music and hanging out.

6 Months Old!

2009-06-20T22:27:00.005-06:00

We went to the cutest place in American Fork called 'Star Mill' to do this photo shoot. I was already there shooting Nat and Kit's family pics, so we brought Joshy's overalls along to see what we could get. It was his first on-location shoot! Now that he can sit up, we can bring him outside to shoot him. He was so adorable and smiley!

Look-a-likes??

2009-06-20T22:23:00.001-06:00

When I was uploading these Florida pics, this one reminded me of this picture of me as a baby and I thought it showed just how much Josh looks like his mommy!! What do y'all think? Is he ALL TODD? or does he have some mommy in him??

Florida Photo Shoot

Florida and Tennessee!!!

2009-06-20T21:38:00.020-06:00

I have been such a slacker with blogging, but so much has been going on so here I go...I'm about to go absolutely crazy! We went to Florida for a week where my best friend Meghan got married and I was able to shoot her wedding. My whole family came down and met up with us and we hung out for a week. Then we went back to K-town for a week and played there. Joshy had so much fun and turned 6 months old while we were there. He really grew up over this trip and had a lot of firsts. He can sit up, eat lots of new things, take steps with daddy holding him up and hold his own sippy cup of juice! He is still happy as ever and smiles at everyone (although lately he's been a little bit partial to mommy :) ). He did so good on his first plane ride, and was so happy to get to the beach! Dawson, Carter and baby Asher. Me and Mom His first time in the ocean Dawson loves playing with baby Joshy! Cousin Layton - they are only 3 1/2 months apart Sweet Kayli girl Hyrum playing in the sand Seafood restaurant on the ocean 'Pompano Joe's' We gotta play dominoes when we get together And we always play putt-putt at the beach - Todd took 1st place! Back in Knoxville we went up to the Smokies for a day and hung out. It is soooo pretty up there! I love all the trees and really miss them! Dad sportin' the baby bjorn with Layton Kayli and I raced Todd and Hyrum down the alpine slide in Gatlinburg. The boys won. Coming back to Utah - waiting in the airport

5 Months Old!

2009-05-11T19:04:00.004-06:00

Joshy is getting so big and fun. He laughs all the time and is a really happy baby! He loves playing with his mom and dad and visiting family. He also loves to type on daddy's computer and jump in his jumper. He loves traveling and is looking forward to two fun family trips this summer and meeting ALL of his cousins! He has 14 cousins (and one on the way!). He is getting really good at laying on his belly and rolled over 3 times a couple weeks ago (but hasn't done it since!). He is such a joy in our lives and makes us so happy.

My First Mother's Day!

2009-05-11T10:18:00.004-06:00

I had such a great Mother's Day. We went to Island Park, Idaho to the family cabin for the weekend, and even though it was pretty cold and Todd and his dad had to dig us a pathway through about 4 feet of snow to get to the front door, it was so much fun. We just relaxed and got away from our everyday stresses. Todd surprised me with this video and I couldn't have asked for a sweeter present. I love you Todd and Joshy!

New Toy

2009-04-27T21:23:00.003-06:00

Josh borrowed this bouncer from AJ and he is having so much fun with it. He just really wants to be upright but can't sit up on his own, so this is the perfect thing! Thanks AJ for letting us play!

Baby Model

2009-04-26T10:34:00.003-06:00

We just launched our new KIDS WEBSITE and needed a little model to be on the home page, so naturally I did a little photo shoot of Joshy and this is what we came up with! We needed something yellow, but there were no yellow clothes for boys! (Tons of cute yellow dresses for girls though.) So we found this cute blanket and I think it was perfect. We now offer studio sessions for kids here in Bountiful. We are running a special on all of our kids sessions right now. A 1/2 hour studio session with a disc is $100, 1 hour studio session with disc is $150 and 1 hour on location session with disc is $200. He's a photogenic little boy don't ya think?

4 month checkup

2009-04-17T19:46:00.002-06:00

This baby boy has gotten so big and chunky! We went to the doctor today for his 4 month visit and I was dreading it! After his 2 month shots, I was traumatized and he really had a hard rest of the day. But today Josh was such a big boy. He did cry for a few minutes, but after a nap at home, he seemed to feel much better and has been giving us lots of smiles. :)

So here are his stats:

Head Circumference: 42 = 37th Percentile

Height: 25.75 inches = 74th Percentile

Weight: 16 lbs. 3 oz. = 70th Percentile

He's a big tall boy with a little head I guess!

Baby's 1st Easter!

2009-04-15T23:24:00.011-06:00

Wow everything is so much more FUN when you have a kid! Easter was great this year. Luckily it wasn't snowing and was sort of warm for a change! We went to church and then up to Todd's parents house for a cousin get together dinner and Easter egg hunt. Josh loves sitting with his 'Paga' Cousin Eden Eden loving on her Easter Bunny Aunt Mary and Uncle Matt New Easter Outfit! Finally a warm day to spend outside! Eden trying to stand up by herself.

Hunting for eggs... Getting tired of hunting for eggs... Helping Daddy carry the easter basket - he actually was holding it by himself, but I couldn't get my camera out in time! Some photographer I am! A present from the Nana Easter Bunny Slade picking up candy off the ground Cute shirt Todd's artistic shot showing Josh and Paga's "shinyl vinyls" (swishy pants)

Easter Video

2009-04-11T21:43:00.002-06:00

This video is from a talk that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave at last week's General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was my very favorite talk and gave me a deeper understanding of what Christ has done for us. Please watch.

4 Months Old!

2009-04-10T21:23:00.006-06:00

We did Josh's first outdoor photo shoot! Well, he didn't really like sitting up against the fence or on the chair...but we still got some cute smiley close ups. This is his Easter outfit! Isn't it so cute?

Fun week with Grandma

2009-04-10T20:43:00.017-06:00

My mom decided to come out to see us (well, mostly Joshy) for the week. We had so much fun and Grandma really got to know Josh's little personality. He has changed so much since she left back in December.

We went out to dinner to Marie Callendars...my mom used to work there as a teenager... Josh showed off his new way of sitting on daddy... We visited Aunt Pam... And cousins... Kyle and Emma are best buds... And we visited Great-Grandma...FOUR GENERATIONS! I We went outside on the days that were warm... Josh showed how he can do a blowout of his diaper, and then lay on his belly... Then we visited Great-Great Grandma! We went to The Old Spaghetti Factory to get the Mizithra...YUM! Then we went to the mall (for the first time in probably 6 months!) and saw the Easter Bunny! I had a really, really, really hard time deciding on which jeans to get...but I finally found some and they were on sale! We had so much fun with Grandma and we miss her already! We are so excited to see my family in May at the beach.

Bowling with the youth

2009-04-10T20:35:00.003-06:00

We had so much fun bowling a few weeks ago with the youth. I had to bring Josh along since I would need to feed him. He had fun looking at all the colored lights and being passed back and forth between all the leaders.

St. Patty's Day Boy

2009-03-21T21:38:00.003-06:00

Baby Bjorn

2009-03-16T15:44:00.002-06:00

We finally were able to go outside for a walk here in freezing Utah! Joshy really loves his Baby Bjorn and so do I! It helps me to burn a lot more calories than I could otherwise.

Zebras are funny

2009-03-16T15:41:00.001-06:00

The Hinckley Boys causing trouble!!

2009-03-12T10:33:00.002-06:00

My dad and brothers decided to tear down an old barn to use the barn wood to finish the ceiling in my parent's basement. I'm so glad Derek videotaped it so I could watch it way out here in Utah. Check it out!

Eden's 1st Birthday

2009-03-11T21:49:00.007-06:00

Joshy's cousin Eden turned 1 and had the cutest polka-dot themed birthday party. Everything was in the shape of polka-dots, even the vegetables! It turned out so cute. We had fun playing games and watching Eden taste her cake. She wasn't very into it though! Everyone played 'throw the bean bag' as Todd accompanied with the guitar. Even Josh participated with putting it on his head when the song said to. Happy Birthday Eden!

3 Months Old ~ Bare Necessities

2009-03-11T18:18:00.005-06:00

He wasn't in the smiliest mood ever, but still was pulling some way cute faces! He has been working on holding his head up on his tummy! It's still a work in progress. And I couldn't resist getting a picture of his little bum bum!

Hello Josh

2009-03-07T10:47:00.001-07:00

Basketball Game

2009-03-07T10:20:00.003-07:00

Last night Josh went to his first sports game. We went with Todd's folks to see Davis High School play basketball in a tournament. Of course Josh wore his favorite sports team outfit! Joshy sat down with Nana, and about 5 minutes later, was out like a light on her lap and slept through 2 1/2 games! It was REALLY loud in there, but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, I think it helped him to fall right to sleep.

12 Weeks Old in Overalls

2009-03-03T17:58:00.005-07:00

Okay, so once he turns 3 months old, I think I will start doing monthly "official" photo shoots. They just change so much in the first three months it is crazy! He has had the little "screw on hands" now for a while so I had to get a close up! Also, his new thing is to suck on his left hand. I think he'll be a southpaw like his Mommy, Grandpa, and Nana! Anyway, how cute is he in is little overalls!?! I just love them! This is the first time he's worn them. He grows in and out of clothes so fast. He is really getting expressive and so much fun. I think he looks like Dawson in the 3rd one. What do you think Christina?

11 Weeks Old!!

2009-02-24T15:25:00.005-07:00

Josh keeps getting cuter and cuter. He is so much fun and is always smiling, laughing and cooing!

Sleepy Laughs

2009-02-21T22:39:00.001-07:00

Sometimes Joshy laughs in his sleep. It's soooo cute!

Josh says hi....kind of...

2009-02-20T09:03:00.002-07:00

Baby....Girl???

2009-02-19T21:25:00.003-07:00

So I had a brand new mom moment tonight. We went to Spaghetti Factory for dinner with Todd's parents and sister. We were kind of rushing out the door so fast that I didn't think to get an extra outfit for Joshy. Well...that didn't work out so well...because he had a huge blowout at the restaurant! He had already pooped 3 times today (all of which stayed in his diaper), so I couldn't believe he did it again! Well, I didn't have anything to put him in. So luckily, Mary had an extra onesie for Eden in her bag. It was just a 12 month old PINK onesie! He looked sooo funny in it and I couldn't stop laughing. He was actually smiling and laughing the whole time I was changing him too. Isn't he a cute little girl!?! Mary - you saved us! Thanks so much! We took this picture at Pottery Barn Kids.

Irresistible - 10 Weeks

It's getting easier and easier to get this little munchkin to smile at us. These are the best smiles yet! 10 weeks old today and growing like crazy!

Valentine's Baby

2009-02-17T11:51:00.007-07:00

For Valentine's Day, Todd and I left Josh with Ron and Kay and went to lunch at Zupa's! It was the first time we have both left him at the same time. He slept right through it, so I don't think he missed us at all! Josh got to hang out with his cousin Eden too. Aren't they cute! She just kept trying to get him!

2009-02-12T11:51:00.003-07:00

Josh is wearing his Tennessee Vols outfit today so I had to blog it! Isn't he just the cutest little Volunteer?!

2 Month Stats

2009-02-12T09:19:00.002-07:00

We went in for Josh's 2 month check-up today. He has almost doubled his weight since his birth! Joshy is 11 lbs. 8 oz. and 23 1/2 inches long! He is in the 43% for his weight, 48% for his head circumference and 69% for his height. The doctor said he is just perfectly healthy! Then he had to get his shots :( I was soooo sad to see him scream like he did when she had to give him 3 different pokes. I cried. He pretty much slept the rest of the day and this morning he woke up good as new! These pictures were taken right before the doctor came in.

Josh is 2 months old and is more smiley than ever. I actually caught a few little smiles today.

Phoenix Trip

These are some crazy pics I took with my iPhone on the way to Phoenix Eden Beth and Kayla The family Kayla Kayla, Alex and Amanda Sisters Mary and Amanda Alex Daddy and Daughter At the park He liked going on a walk Cousins Eden's prized clothy Josh had the biggest blowout while we were at the park, and I didn't have a change of clothes for him, so we had to take him home in only his diaper! I felt so bad but he didn't seem to mind. Alex licking the frosting Well, we took Josh on his first road trip. We headed down to sunny Phoenix to visit Beth and Brent for Kayla's baptism. She is the first grandkid to be baptized in Todd's family. He did so good in the car. He pretty much slept the whole time. The drive was about 14 hours with all of our stops we had to make. It was soooo nice down there with temperatures in the 70s most of the time. We took Josh to the park on his first walk and had so much fun just hanging out with everyone. Beth was the best hostess and kept us fed very well with her home cooking! Thanks Beth! Kayla's baptism was beautiful and we are so proud of her!

8 Weeks Old!!!

I hope everyone isn't getting tired of seeing Joshy every week. I can't help but do a shoot of him to show his progress each week. Eventually, I will get to doing monthly shoots, but he just changes so much each week right now! So, he was totally smiling so much right before we started shooting, and he just stops when I get the camera out! He is such a little trickster! Seriously all day long I can get him to smile and laugh, but as soon as that camera comes out...he turns it off! Oh well, one of these days we'll get one. We did get some good video of him smiling today, so I'll post that soon. He's getting a little belly and double chin!

Hanging out with Jenny and Chris

2009-02-02T23:05:00.000-07:00

Finally I got my hair done! We went down to Jenny and Chris's today so she could highlight my hair. I hadn't gotten it done since I had Josh which was way too long! Then we all went to Training Table. Luckily, we were just about the only ones in there. Joshy slept pretty much the whole time. Look how cute little Hudson is!

Happy Boy

Here are a few smiles in his favorite place...his changing table. For some reason, he loves it! He loves to stare at the b&w pictures above it and I think he likes how soft it is too. Notice the double chin he is developing! He also loves to listen to daddy sing and play guitar for him.

First dinner "out"

2009-02-02T22:52:00.004-07:00

We took Josh to Olive Garden to use our gift card from Grandma and met Todd's parents there. We asked for the farthest corner of the restaurant so we wouldn't have tons of people around him. I'm sure I am a little overprotective, but hey, he is my first baby! He did very good and wore his little bear suit to keep warm.

7 Weeks Old

2009-01-27T22:16:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh my tiny baby is getting bigger! He actually is starting to get some rolls on his arms and legs. He is so much fun and I love watching him change and grow. This hat is from his Nana that she got in Wales this fall! Isn't it so cute!?!

Church

2009-01-26T13:04:00.003-07:00

I finally went to church yesterday for the first time since we had Josh. It was good to get out, even though we hid in the back and only stayed for about 15 minutes! It is still RSV season so I am still a little scared to go to many public places with him.

6 Weeks Old!

2009-01-20T16:39:00.003-07:00

I can't believe my baby is already 6 weeks old! He is definitely growing every day. He's still little though. This is the outfit we brought him home in from the hospital. It still fits! He has started to smile at us, but only at certain times of the day. Too bad those times are never during our photo shoots! He is getting more alert and aware of things going on around him. He's such a sweetie and such a blessing in our lives. Don't you love his big teddy bear? Our good friends Cedric and Virginie gave that to him! Merci beaucoup!

He loves his mommy!

2009-01-18T09:13:00.002-07:00

The cutest thing happened this morning. Josh was crying and waking up, but I knew he wasn't hungry yet, so I just kept trying to put his binky in his mouth because I was soooo tired and wanted to keep sleeping. He just kept fussing so I sat up and laid him in front of me and started talking to him. As soon as I said one word, he started smiling so big and for a long time! It was adorable! He just wanted to hear my voice I guess! It totally melted my heart! And luckily I caught one of his smiles on my camera phone.

2009-01-13T14:49:00.000-07:00

Josh is changing so much! He's still really little - my macro lens makes him look bigger than he really is. But he is starting to get some chub in his cheeks :) I love him so much!!!

4 Weeks Old!

2009-01-06T15:01:00.004-07:00

This first month has gone by so fast and he has already changed so much. I love this little outfit! Isn't he the cutest!?!

3 Weeks Old!

2008-12-30T22:56:00.000-07:00

This is how he really felt during this shoot.

I did Josh's 3 Week photo shoot in his blessing outfit. It's actually good that we did the blessing while he was this little because his outfit fit him really well. He was not very happy during this shoot, but we got some cute pictures. I might try again in a few weeks to get a really good one. He's changing every day and getting bigger. He actually already grew out of his first thing! It was a pair of up to 7 lbs. newborn pajamas that his aunts Emily and Beth gave him.

First Bath!

2008-12-30T18:27:00.003-07:00

Josh's umbilical cord finally fell off on Saturday, so now he gets to have real baths! He really enjoyed it. He was so cute just looking around. Mom watched him through iChat from Tennessee. So how often would y'all say I should bathe him? Every other day???

Photo Shoot with Natalie

2008-12-29T21:45:00.007-07:00

We had our first family photo shoot on Saturday with Natalie. She is so awesome and did such a great job! Nat is a friend of mine and just recently joined the Lindsay Jane team. Check out her website HERE. Here are my favorites.

A Christmas Blessing

Beautiful Christmas Night

We had the idea on Christmas Eve to have Josh's blessing on Christmas Day. It was very short notice, but we decided that it would be the best thing. Since it is RSV season, our doctor advised us not to take Josh out for a few months, and since my parents were in town, we decided it was the perfect time. It was a beautiful night, and it started snowing right as we began the blessing in our home. It was such a beautiful blessing. The Spirit was so strong, and Josh looked just like an angel. He wore his daddy's blessing outfit. The bishop, Todd's dad, my dad, our brother-in-law Dan, and Todd's cousin Mark stood in the circle with Todd. It was such a wonderful experience to be able to bless him on Christmas night in our home with both sets of our parents and a few more family members there. I am so happy to have Josh and Todd in my life.

We went to Layton to spend Christmas Eve with Todd's family. We had a good size group there and had a really yummy Christmas meal and a great program (which I kind of heard from the other room while I was nursing Joshy!). Josh got to show off is Santa outfit which fit him pretty well, surprisingly.

2 Weeks Old!

2008-12-24T00:07:00.002-07:00

I can't believe he is already two weeks old. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind and have been so much fun getting to know my sweet baby boy.
