Our Little Giraffe

On Friday we went to our ward activity. We are actually in a new ward due to boundary changes but we were on the Activities committee so we went there and helped out a little. They had a chili cook-off and had people bring corn bread. Then there were games. Louis and I were in charge of the bowling game. Then they had a trunk or treat! At about 8:30 ran home and put everything in our trunk and headed for Thatcher. It was such a long day but tons of fun. Here is a picture of the bowling pins that I made.

Ethan Singing

Ethan sang at the Graham County Fair this year in the talent contest. He tied for 1st place! He is such an amazing singer. All my brothers can sing so well. They were so blessed with that talent! Check out the link below to here Ethan's song. He sang "Remember When It Rained" by Josh Groban!

Blake Sitting Up

This video features Blake in a 51 second film of him sitting up. He is still a little while shaky sitting up, but he is getting much better.

Blake's First Tooth!

Last night Blake just started screaming (his hurt cry). I tried to feed him but he just cried more and more. Finally I got him comfortable and held him till he fell back asleep. I thought it strange, what could have caused him to cry like that. Then this morning as Louis and I were eating breakfast he started fussing so Louis held him while he ate. I noticed that as he was chewing on his sippy cup holder he was drooling alot more than usual. So I stuck my finger in his mouth and I felt a tooth. It was broken through the gums even. I was not prepared for this. I was thinking he woudn't get his first tooth until 9 months or even a year. Louis and I both were dentally retarded. I can't believe how fast the little guy is growing up.

Baby Proofing

Lately Blake has been getting into everything! He isn't crawling yet but he scoots and rolls around quite well. So I have been busy trying to baby proof our house. Everyday I find another thing I need to do. I will not be encouraging crawling. I think he will figure it out and hopefully later rather than sooner. He talks all the time and is so much fun to be with. Louis has been soooooo busy with homework. This last week we spent an hour together, we got to go bowling. But one hour in a week. I do get to see him on Sunday's which is nice. I can't wait for school to be done!

Family Pics

When we went to Thatcher this weekend my Mom did a photo shoot of our family. I love the way they turned out. I'm so glad that I have a Mom who is good at taking and scrapbooking pictures. -Thanks Mom -

30 Day Shred!

I bought Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout video. Jillian is one of the trainers on the biggest loser. Let me tell you she is tough. I have a love/hate relationship with the DVD. I love the way it makes me feel an hour after the workout. I hate the way I feel during the workout. Imagine that! I have never had a workout work for me the way this one does. I love it and I would recomend it to anyone who wants to shed a couple of pounds. The video has 3 levels. Within each level Jillian has a 3-2-1 system. 3min of strength, 2min of cardio, and 1 min abs. There are 3 of these whithin each level. All you need is handweights!
