Cole's First Pet!!!

That's right I gave in and let Cole have a pet...a stuffed pet that is. And the one he likes the best is the skunk. When I first showed it to him he latched on like a leech and I couldn't pry it from him, then he discovered it was fun to put in his mouth too. Right now he is napping with it wrapped in his arms. As long as he doesn't bring home the real thing one day I'm okay with it. It's funny cause he keeps wiggling and opening his eyes just to make sure his new skinky friend is still right there. The other pics are of Cole enjoying some time in his bumbo seat. He did awesome today holding his head up all by himself with no support. He is getting so big. Before I know it I won't be able to call him a baby anymore- how sad :(

Fun times

Yeah! This weekend my mom's Uncle Dan and Aunt Jewli came for a visit and we had a really good time. They held me a lot and always made sure I had my binkie. We filled our tummies with steaks, philly cheese steaks, and crockpot chicken tacos- yummy! We did some shooting, fed the fish at warm river, and saw Mesa Falls. We really had a fun time with them sharing stories and enjoyed having them here!

I hit all four of my first four shots- that never happens unless you're Jared


Take note of what is between the clay pigeon boxes on the four wheeler- that's right it was Cole's first four wheeler ride

Aunt Jewli loved holding Cole and he wasn't complaining at all

Hadley is here to stay!

What is that pink thing?! Oh it's my newest cousin Hadley. She is so sweet and not very noisy- and an amazing sleeper thus far. Sometimes she sounds like a meerkat when she hiccups. I think we'll keep her!

We can't believe how big Cole is getting- he's 4 months today- and it pretty obvious when compared to a newbie



They're holding hands...how precious

Watch out Cole- that Hadley's a lover AND a fighter!


Holy cheeks Hadley- where'd your eyes go?!

Let's see your cheeks Cole...






Sleeping babies- I guess it's time to go home. This was at a yummy BBQ Chance's Family did. Cole and Hadley were sleeping in the exact same position. Can't wait to see you in Idaho in a few weeks Hadley... mi crib es su crib!

Hadley has arrived!

My little niece Hadley has arrived, right on her due date and her daddy's birthday Sept 1st weighing 7 lbs 8 ounces and 19 inches long. We couldn't be happier for Laura and Chance who are now apart of the New Parent Club with us. We hope to get to Utah soon so we can meet little Hadley- I just can't wait. There is nothing better than welcoming a healthy baby into the family!
