Sam Looks Like Mom!

When he sleeps...

Can you see it?

Ha!

:)

Belly Shirts

Sam's first and last time wearing this outfit.

Maybe I can start a new fashion trend?

Think Sam can pull it off?!

OK, I guess belly shirts will never be "in" ever again.

Still, I am so proud of my good eater!

(he has graduated from newborn to 1-3 month old clothing)

2 Months

Viva Las Vegas

We headed down to Las Vegas for my cousin Heather's wedding in the Las Vegas Temple this weekend!

We picked up a pizza on our way to the freeway friday afternoon, and then we were off!

Sam was exited for the trip!

really... exited... 

;)

(notice that he is still holding on to his toy!)

Sam got to meet his Grandma Johnson for the first time!

That night we went to this restaurant called 

Hash House A-Go-Go

We ordered the pork-ribs in a bed of horseradish mashed potatoes... 

they were delish!

I guess I should get used to dining with Sam by my side...

he was not okay sitting in his car seat away from the center of attention!

 Our cousin Ryan ordered the Chicken and Waffles 

(apparently it is Martha Stewart's favorite dish at this restaurant)

My cousin's Matt and Shannon offered to let us stay at their place for the weekend. It was so fun catching up with them!

She has two awesome kids named Claire and Miles! They loved little Sam :)

Claire loved holding sam. She would come up to me and ask many variations of "Can I hold Sam?" or when that didn't work she would say "Mom said I can hold him now."

 She was the best babysitter ever! 

Kevin wasn't loving the camera that day...

 but sam sure was!

Yes. 

We went to the city of sin. 

No. 

We didn't sin... too much :)

Yes.

We enjoyed a beautiful wedding.

No. 

Not in a chapel on the strip.

But,

In a beautiful temple on a hill!

I hope you enjoyed our little weekend adventure. 

:)

A video for your enjoyment

The video is really pixelated, I will try to fix it later. But, it will have to do for now. Sorry...

Sam is growing so much everyday, he coos a lot now and loves mobiles. Here is a video of him hitting his toy and talking to the camera.

We are convinced he said "Hello" at the end.

So would this count as his first word?! 

:)

Back to Work

I am slowly starting to come back to work again. 

Came take a look at our new Broadcast Facility!

We moved in 3 months ago, fancy huh?!  

But. I miss seeing this beautiful boy every minute of every day. 

 It is hard to transition from only talking baby talk to communicating with adults again, but It's really nice to be back to the grind.  I have gone down to 30 hours a week, and my hours are very flexible which makes taking care of Sam a lot less stressful.  Kevin watches Sam while I am at work, because he works nights at his new job at BD Medical. Kevin and I don't hang out as much as we used to because our sleep and work schedules are opposite, but It is so worth it knowing Sam is always with one of us.

:)

Holy Blow-Outs Batman

Sam likes to do this...

 ...and a little bit of this on a daily basis.

 Meet my beautiful work phone...

Well, Sam killed her last night.

I went to the store with a friend, and forgot my purse.  I put my phone in the car-seat under the blanket.  When we got back to the car, I took my phone out and the screen was black and would not turn on again.  When we got home I took Sam out and he was SOAKED! I knew my phone was lost forever, I even tried putting in a bowl of rice!  I went to the sprint store Saturday and got it replaced for just 35 dollars. I told them the story and everything, but apparently the water-damage indicators did not go off so they had to replace it! Even living without a phone for less than a day was awful.

Lesson Learned: Never trust the capacity of a diaper.   :)

Tiny Hands

Tiny Hands by Rob Mathes

Sentimental man

such wrapped attention.

Often cries often screams 

at the littlest commotion,

and his bad dreams 

are the end of the world.

Sentimental man, why are you convinced

he holds the answers.

He's pure and precious, cuddly, sweet,

but the world turns on.

It's his tiny hands, how they open my eyes,

he's got tiny hands.

It' a great song! 

When I was a student a couple years ago, I was a camera operator for a concert he did in our studio. 

It was super fun and this song just stuck with me. 

It's on itunes if you want to hear what it sounds like!

The Birds and the Bees

Rocky is in heat... 

Our beautiful dog cant be fixed yet due to an infection she got as a little puppy so we knew we had to go through this part of life with her...

poor girl.

Meet Jamal.

(this is the closest i could get to him)

 

Yes, he is a black Dog... and we are not sure how we feel about the name choice.

Yet, he does fit some stereotypes...

1. He breaks into our yard
2. He tries to get our little girl pregnant.

Jamal is a Yorkie-Pom mix.
Yorkie.... hm....

Remember Rocky's best friend Tank?

Yes, Jamal is Tank's son!

Tank burrowed under his fence and got the neighbor Pomeranian pregnant.

Our neighbors took his child, and now Jamal is trying to do the same to our Weimeraner.

Like Father like son.

Now... let try to imagine what a yorkie-pom-eraner would look like...

Daddy

Mommy

Our neighbors have finally tied him up.
Bu, if he already succeeded we are in big/bad/ugly trouble.

We will keep you all posted! :)

Sam Sleeps 7 Hours!!!

MY SECRET?

The Fisher Price Cradle-n-Swing 

I gave the bassinet a chance, 

but Sam just got too good at getting out of my swaddles. 

And sleeping 1 to 2 hours at a time was not working for me.

When we would leave the house, I would get green with jealousy watching him sleep so well in his car-seat , and then it hit me... 

:)

Sam's new bed would be his car-seat-shaped swing!

Since then I have had at least 5 hours of straight sleep every night.

BE JEALOUS...

or join me :)

Guess Who's Smiling?!

Yes. 

My son is the cutest baby in the world.

Any challengers?


:)

Kevin and Sam

My Favorite Picture :)

Yes, this drew tears when I first saw this.

They are always hanging out together...

Look at Sam's face!!!

That double chin gets bigger every day.

They are already best friends :)

Spring is coming!

3/13/2011

It's starting to warm up outside.

So that means we can finally break out the stroller at go on a walk!

It is still too cold for Sam so we have to bundle him up in a cocoon.

He loved the scenery!

We liked getting outside too...

Thank you for stopping by :)

Egbert Moving Company

We went up to provo last Saturday and helped our good friends Kaitlyn and Tim move into their condo they just purchased!

this is their old apartment...

and by we, of course I mean Kevin.

He did everything while I cheered everyone one and held this guy!

Sam has graduated to the highest buckle in the car seat. 

My boy is getting to big! Which makes sense with how much he eats! 

Little Piggy

If you need help with your move, we accept payment in Strawberry Limeade Chillers from Sonic :)

My blogging BFF

He either hangs out on the desk...

... or on my lap  :)

I have gotten really good at typing with just my right hand.

Oh the talents you pick up...

:)

Sam's first dirt bike ride

Gotcha ;) 

Kev just sat on the bike with him while I snapped a couple pictures...

3/5/2011

Sam thinking "Are you really going to make me do this?"

Kevin's dream come true...

Sam's One Month Photoshoot

3/2/2011

Wide awake and ready for his photo shoot...

He was a good sport and didn't complain too much. :)
