Orion Loves Suckers (but really who doesnt?)

So Orion has always HATED riding in the car. Recently we found that if he has a sucker or something to eat while we ride he is much better. Wednesday we went up to Park City to see our friends at the Dental Office - on the way home he was so tired and pretty grumpy. He doesn't usually fall asleep in the car but we gave him a sucker on the way back and this is how he ended up - haha it was so funny to watch him in the rear view mirror as he started to drift with the sucker in his mouth - he would wake up suck on it for a few seconds and then fall back to sleep - it was pretty funny so Steve snapped a pic with my phone.

We went to a wedding last week and this is Orion riding in the stroller on the temple grounds it was just so cute with Daddy's sunglasses that we took some more pics. He is getting so big.

Orions FIRST STEPS!!

I cant believe it but Orion took his first steps and we caught it on video!! YAY!! We just wanted to get a little video of him standing by himself (which he has been doing for a while) and then he actually tried to take a few steps! I was SO excited! The video is a little dark and I am in the process of rotating it but I dont have time to do it tonight so here it is anyway. Also the sound is not on - Dustin forgot to turn it on so its mute and not your computer. :)

Bee's Game

Dad and Lisa took us to the Bee's game yesterday for the 24th! It was so fun! It was a great game and Orion liked it - however at the end he started to get really tired. They had fireworks right after the game (which were awesome) and he was so tired that he fell asleep DURING (yes during) the fireworks! It was crazy - it was so loud and he just went right to sleep ha.

9 month old fam pics

These pictures were taken when Ori turned 9 months - but it has taken me a long time to get them scanned, and now here he is 11 months old already - wow time goes so fast! Anyway these are printable for our family members who would like one - just click on the image and save it or print it. :) The lady who took our picture was wonderful with Ori normally it takes him a long time to warm up but she just started taking pics and talking to him and it was so cute. He did great.

Micki's finally home pics!

I know it took me forever to get these on - but these are from the day Micki got home. Lisa and Mike made that cute banner for her graduation stuff. We were so excited to have her home now.
After Micki got home we went to our fav place to eat.

I know Steve looks grumpy - but he is a happy person - I promise! lol I cant ever get him to smile for pics - ugh.

My Cool Dude

So Orion is now getting to the stage where he will actually let us put things on his head without freaking out! Its fun, he is starting to leave his hats, glasses etc. on and they all look so cute. We went up to Grandma Janae's house today for Grandma Margos birthday party. It was really fun to see everyone again, we dont go up nearly enough.
This is Oris little cousin Grace, he was havin a good time playing with her, and she was doing a great job helping take care of Ori :) She is so cute!
Here they are in Grandma Jans lap, huggin - it was so cute because Grace kept kissing and hugging Ori (he loved it) if there is one thing he loves its kisses.

Had to add these...

When we came home from church I had to take a few pics of Orion in his suit - They turned out so cute I had to get them on here. They are so sweet - they make a mother fall to mush. haha.

Please dont pay attention to our yucky wall paper, we havent made it to this room yet for remodeling - all in due time. :)

Silly String

Micki finally came home on the 2nd! We are so excited to have her home - I have more pictures of her homecoming to get on here but here are some for now. We threw her a graduation party with water balloons and silly string (at her request) it was a blast as you can see! We had food and fun! We are so happy your home Micki!! What a wonderful accomplishment - Doesn't it feel great!? ;)
Sorry for the size of these pics - I was out of room on my phone again so it came out poor quality - ugh.
