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 :)

Take a ride with me!

We went up to the cabin again and I was able to take Bostyn on a rhino ride! She actually really enjoyed it.. She just sat there and looked out at the trees, so content. She is so stinkin' cute! Here are some pictures of her and I..

Yeah.. so remember the early post about Bostyn breakin' away.. didn't happen or at least I didn't let it happen! haha :) We are trying it out again.. she is taking her naps in the crib and when I feel comfortable enough I'll put her in there at night. It's so nerve racking!!

Video of Bostyn

Bostyn is SO much fun these days! She was laying on my bed while I got dressed and I went up to her and started tickling her belly.. once she started giggling I HAD to grab the camera! I apologize that you can't see her most of the time, but you can still hear her laughing. It's tough to try and be both the videographer and the tickler!

Hope you enjoy!! I sure did! :)

p.s. I didn't move her at the end of the video.. that's her pushing up off her legs. Crazy girl!

Cabin Fever

This past weekend Bostyn, Jynx, and I went to my parent's cabin to spend time with my mom's family. This was the second time Bostyn was there but now she is a little more observant!


I LOVE this picture!! haha.. She was all big eyed because of the flash. She was eating oatmeal.. which she doesn't like too much.

Everyone went to the mammoth caves on saturday.. oohh.. so spooky!! I went down there and it was PITCH black in there.. plus it was muddy inside. There was a ton of people, which wasn't too fun but it was cool to see.

Here's the gang all together! Jynx didn't want to be left out.. all weekend he kept sitting right next to me. He's so protective over us!

I wish I would have gotten a picture of Ellee and I on the rhino. She is such a princess! She was complaining about the dust the whole time.. she did enjoy when I went fast down the hills, though! I couldn't WAIT to get out there and ride the four wheelers!! I hadn't been out there on a ride for over a year! WOO HOO!! I think we might go again this weekend..
