October Fun

I haven't been on our blog since Kevin got home, so I thought I'd update all of you on what's been going on.

Auntie Jamie got Bostyn this cute Halloween outfit and I just couldn't resist taking pictures!

We just got back from visiting Kevin's family in Brawely. We surprised Kevin's little sister.. it was so nice to see Bostyn with her nani, auntie cody, and papa! It is so hard not to be close to them, but we do our best to make it work.

Cody had a volleyball tourney on Saturday and did really well, but lost in the semi finals. Hopefully we'll be able to see her play again.

Speaking of sports.. It's football season!! We are a family who loves football.. but of course Kevin likes the San Diego Chargers and I like Indianapollis Colts. We are quite the rivals! haha.. Sundays are go to church at 9am and then it's football time!! Woo Woo!! Here's a picture of Kevin, Bostyn, and Aunt Jamie in their Charger gear.

It's getting closer and closer to Bostyn' 1st birthday and I'm SO excited!! I got her invitations done last week and am going to get decorations this weekend or next. I'm not sure what we're going to do, but I can't wait to get all dressed up!! I hope some of the parents will dress up, but I doubt it... party poopers! haha.. I know you'd dress up, Leah!!! (but you live too far away) :(

Hope all of you are doing well. We are enjoying have our family together and are keeping busy. I swear Bostyn gets funner and funner everyday! We are working on crawling, but she doesn't like her belly too much so she scoots on her back and kinda crawls backwards when I put her up on her knees. haha.. What a turkey!

I almost forgot to tell all of you!!! Bostyn got her first tooth!! Kevin went to give her a lick of a chip and she bit it! haha.. We were going crazy! She is getting SO big!! I don't know what I'm going to do when she starts walking and talkin'.. just crazy.

Daddy's Home!!

Kevin got home Wednesday morning and Bostyn was so baffled looking at him. She has heard only his voice on the phone for the past 3 months and didn't match his face with the voice.. She was so excited, though. It truly is an amazing feeling to have our family together..

I love this picture.. She was giving him kisses but I couldn't capture it on the camera, I was too slow. haha.. I am SO happy to have you home, honey!! I love you!

Weekend with Girls!!

This weekend my mom, Bostyn, Ellee, Gigi, and I went up to the cabin together. We had the girls ALL weekend!! It was SO much fun.. what it would be like with 3 girls.. haha.. Here are some pictures of our girls weekend.


Friday night a storm came through and I got this great picture of the rain coming off the roof. The thunder was SO loud and the lightning was amazing..


Chillin' on the couch.. Waiting for the Princess movie to come on!

Papa came to play with the girls on Saturday.. Yay Papa's so much fun!!

Noni had gotten Bostyn fall clothes, but they already fit!! Uh Oh... she's growin' like a weed! Better find some 9-12 month clothes!!

Bostyn is so smily in the morning.. such a happy girl!! We love the mountains!

Time for HOT CHOCOLATE!! They sure were ready for it!! haha.. I love these girls!

Ellee loved playing with Bostyn. She was always sitting with her or laying on the floor together..

Every time my mom cooked anything, Gigi wanted to help! haha.. What a cutie!

Big yawn.. Ellee and Bostyn were watching their morning cartoons or was it a princess movie?

Gigi wanted to put her face on too!!

Bostyn and I were trying to show off our big blue eyes!! haha.. Don't think this quite did it.

I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of us outside, but we DID go outside.. haha. We went on a few strolls and Ellee would push Bostyn in the stroller. I took Ellee on a four wheeler ride while my dad took Gigi. Ellee LOVES to go fast.. oh my goodness!! She pushes that thing FULL throtle!! haha.. My dad would pull up next to us and she'd say "You wanna piece of this, Papa?" Haha.. then she pushed the throtle makin' us go really fast and she'd say "That's what I'm talkin bout!" What a hoot! We also had a fire out back on Saturday night and roosted marshmellows! Gigi didn't like them too much, but Ellee couldn't get enough of them. (She didn't know why she was only allowed to have 2! haha) We had so much fun with all the girls.. wish we could do it more often!

First Word

OH MY GOSH!! I was in complete shock today.. after we got home from church Bostyn and I were playing on the floor and she was just gibber gabbering. (like always, she's such a talker!) All of a sudden.. she kinda stop and was pronuciating her 'd' sounds. I start really listening to her and after a few 'd' sounds she said 'dad... dada'. You should have seen me!! I was going crazy! Of course she wouldn't say it again for the camera, but what a big girl!! She misses her daddy.. We talk about him all the time. I put him on speaker phone the other day and she LOVED it! ... was looking for him and grabing the phone.. aww.. We can't wait for him to come home!

We love you, baby and are so proud of you!!

BOSTYN'S SITTING UP!!

OH MY GOSH!! I have never been more proud in my life! We have been working on sitting up for almost 2 months! She really is a miracle baby! I cannot express how much I love this girl...

Here's a video of her sitting up AND playing with her ball!! WOO HOO!!

Girls Weekend

Degan and Bostyn chillin' in their strollers.. "It's so freakin hot, mom! What the hell?"

Alivia, Kristin, and I chillin' with our babies.

Aubrey, Steph, and Karli chit chattin.. Beautiful home, Steph!!

Degan and Bostyn playing.. "Give me my toy, Degan!"

Bostyn and I had a good time up in Salt Lake. It's crazy how long it's been since all us girls all hung out together. I had SOO much fun looking through all of our old pictures! How hilarious!! What crazy stories we have and fun memories together! Love you girls!

Beach Life

Ready for the long ride to San Diego!

First time at the beach.. first time in 5 years I actually dipped MY feet in! haha :)

Beach life is so rough..

Bostyn got herself a pedicure from her noni.. with aunt Jamie's help of course!

Football night.. We were rivals! Charges v. Colts

Starbucks on the boardwalk anyone??

Bostyn and I had so much fun at the beach! We hated leaving.. but of course momma has to get back to work and everything else. These are not even half the pictures I took, but I didn't think I should post 50 pictures on here! haha :)
