Baby Shower Gift

I made this gift for my friend Lindsay. We actually met at her wedding! She booked our photo booth (scrapBOOTH) for her reception. We had several phone conversations regarding the booth and all I could think about was how NICE she was! I seriously hadn't spoken with a client like her EVER! She is a scrap-booker and provided all of her own embellishments to put in her book. She was an amazing client and is turning out to be an amazing friend. Anyway, her and her husband, Billy, wasted no time starting their family. :) They are expected to have their baby GIRL ,Athena, by mid-end of January.

I had such a fun time putting this together. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the onesie I made. It was pink with white and silver ruffles on the bum and a cup cake applique on the front. I'll have to have Lindsay take a picture of it so I can show you guys. It was the 3rd one I've made and I think they are so cute! Can you tell I want a girl really, REALLY bad??!! I'm living my dream vicariously through my friends. LOL!
I do have to say that this was all TODD'S idea! If you know Todd, I'm sure you can believe it. He really has such great, creative ideas. I was just proud that I was able to pull it off. :) Happy Baby Shower Lindsay! You are going to be a wonderful Mother!

Brotherly Love

Halloween night I went to a movie with a friend and Todd got the camera out to capture the true essence of these boys. I love them all so much!

Halloween!

This year we went to our ward's trunk or treat to celebrate Halloween. The boys had a GREAT time! Bradley was Eeyore, Josh a little devil, Tyler a pirate, and I was a flapper. We ate some yummy chili and desserts, then I handed out candy while Todd walked with the boys to do the trunk or treat.

Isn't Bradley the cutest Eeyore you've ever seen?

Tyler bowling

Yes, he IS a little devil!

Scary spider!!

Josh and his best buddy Ryder. They love each other so much!

The crew! Zane, Tyler, Ryder and Josh!

Me and Kari. (Ryder and Zane's mom) We have become great friends over the past several months. :)

Bradley turned 10 months on Saturday! I can't believe he's almost 1!

My First 5k!

So, I signed up to run a 5k! For those who don't know, that's 3.1 miles. It's on October 2nd in Tempe. I've been training for 3 weeks now and I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Seriously.....I haven't run a mile since I was probably 10. I JUST ran a mile without stopping yesterday. Sheesh! Although it's not much yet, it was really encouraging to see that I've improved. Anyway, here are a couple pictures of my teammates. Yeah, we like to have fun when we're not training. :)

I didn't get much air on this one. LOL!

We were able to hold this pose for about 1 second! Luckily that's when the picture was taken. :)

9 months!

Bradley is 9 months old today! He's getting so big and cuter every day! The picture above is from his first bath in the tub a few days ago. He just loves it! He had his well visit today and his stats are:

Weight- 17lbs. He didn't gain any weight from his 6 month visit! It kinda freaked me out, but the dr told me what foods to give him and we'll come back in a couple weeks for a weight check. Right now he's in the 5th percentile.

Length- 27 1/2. 25th percentile

He says dada, baba, papa, and makes other random sounds and clicks his tongue. He just laughs when I tell him to say mama. HaHa! He's finally okay with sitting up. He used to arch his back and throw himself backwards! He's cruising all over the furniture and finally figured out how to get down himself yesterday! I can't feed him in the bumbo anymore because he crawls out. So he's getting used to his highchair. He has the CHEESIEST grin! He scrunches his face to where his eyes are almost completely closed! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Right now he's sleeping peacefully, but when he wakes up I'm sure he won't be so happy. He's currently suffering from an ear infection and a new tooth popping through. How dare he get both at the same time! :) But normally he is just such a happy baby. I'm so glad we made it through the first 6 months of constant fussiness. Happy 9 month birthday Bradley! We love you!!
