been so long...again...

Well we went to St. George at the beginning of march to visit Gammy and Grandpa. We all love it there. Orion had a great time getting to know them.

Here gammy is planting the golfing seed in his little mind haha jk. Really he just wanted to play with a golf ball he saw.
We all went to dinner where Orion decided he wanted to try to eat anything and everything he saw on our plates! He was so funny trying it all - Gammy gave him tastes of her jello but I think his favorite was the mashed potato's.
We bought him a sippy cup while we were in St. George because he wanted everyone elses drinks. He has never been able to drink from a straw before, but the second he got the cup he figured it out right then, we were all surprised. Smarty pants!
Poor Fancy... Ender was so excited to meet a new friend he wouldn't leave her alone. Ha.

Enders Hair cut!

Ender was groomed yesterday! He looks so cute now all slim and pretty. When Dustin got home he yelled "Ah the dog is naked!". Sweet puppy.

Catch up week!

Well last week Grandpa Scott came with Uncle Erik and took me and Orion out to lunch! We had a great time catching up and talking. It was a ton of fun.. Ori kept trying to steel Grandpas drink! ;) This was last week also, Orion looked so cute smiling on Daddy's lap I had to snap a shot.
This was last week when me, Uncle Steve, and Orion went to lunch. Poor guy was pooped when we got back. He had is lion (his fav toy) in his hand when he fell asleep.
So, this is the beginning of Orions wall mural that I am doing. I started yesterday with this fish. I am not sure if I like it or not. I think it might be a little scary for a baby lol, but I think it might be ok. I haven't decided yet. So far there is a huge blue wall with one fish lol. What do you guys think?

Rolling over video - press play twice!

This is orion, he has been rolling over for about 2 weeks now and I wanted to catch it on video and throw it on here. It usually takes some convincing to get him to roll over, he hates to be on his stomach.

Orion playing with his bobble...

Orion has a cold ... so the other night we decided it was time to suck out his nose with the bobble... most the time he hates this! This time he thought it was so funny to listen to the sucky sound...

Play time...

I just snapped a few pictures yesterday of Orion playing in his jumper, I thought he was cute... of course, I always do! :) He is still trying to get the stationary frog to move into his mouth. Its pretty funny to watch how determined he is to get it to move.

My new hat!!

We went up to Grandma Jan's to be with Ori's uncle Dax who was made an Elder yesterday. While we were there Dax made (yes I said made) a hat!! How amazing is that!? We loved it - but it was a bit too small - so Dax is going to make one more. It was so cute, so we had to take some pictures.
This pic kinda makes his ears look big lol - what a sweetie!

Trip to Park City

Yesterday, we took a trip up to Park City to have lunch with our friends from Dr. Innis's office. I forgot to take pics while we were there but Dustin took a few before we left.

We had lots of fun it was good to see you guys! Thanks for inviting us to lunch.

More bath time!

I just figured out how to do this and downloaded picassa! so I thought I would put it on real quick

:)

Bath time!

Orion is finally starting to enjoy his bath time! He is all over the place, jumpin, squealin, cooin etc. I love to watch him play and have fun.

This picture was really funny because Ori is just starting to realize he and I are two different people. So he was playin and splashing when he stopped, he then slowly looked up at me like "oh your here too!" it was so funny. He smiled at me and then started playing with me too. What a sweet boy.

Blue monkey

So, this morning while I was getting read, Ori found his blue monkey that Uncle Joe gave him while he was in the NICU. I turned around and it was such cute he was totally talking to him and playin with him. So I grabbed my phone and snapped a few pics. He is sure starting to talk a lot more then before, I love it.

AUNT MICKI!!

It was SO nice to have micki home for a few weeks. It gave Orion a chance to get to know her. I loved it. He loved her!!
These are the cutest pictures taken before she left back to Hawaii! We miss her so much, but she is having the time of her life in Hawaii, we all wish we could follow in her footsteps haha.

A visit to Aunt Jills house...

This was around Christmas time when we went to Jills for dinner... we got their early and we were able to spend some quality time with Chelsea and Jill. Ori had lots of fun with them.

Unpacked Camera Cord!!

YAY! I finally found where I had packed the camera cord, so now I can use more then just my phone to put photos on. So, now I need to finish the catching up. This was just before church the day he was blessed. He was all tuckered out from getting ready for his blessing, and visiting with people. He looked SO sweet in his outfit (a present from Nanny Raquel and Grandpa Dibble) fast asleep so I snapped a few pictures. He was such a good boy during the blessing, he didnt make a peep. We were worried because we had waited so long to bless him, but it turned out perfect! Thank you again to everyone who came, and who shared their love with us.

The blessing..

Well I was able to get a few pictures from my Gammy & Grandpa from the blessing. It was such a great day! It was so nice to have everyone here, and a special thanks to Gammy for workin so hard to help me get ready. I realize its been awhile since Ori's blessing but I wanted to show a few pics.

SO SORRY!!

I keep getting emails and comments about updating the blog lol. I am so sorry its been so long!! So much has happened to us in the past few weeks it feels like its been a few months already ha! We had a wonderful Christmas and it was a wonderful time to spend with so many loved ones. Our camera, however, was out of batteries when while we were traveling from town to town visiting with family so most of the pictures we have are on other cameras, I am in the process of getting a few of those pictures. I will now try and catch everyone up and include pics in a while.

On Dec. 19th Micki came home and was able to meet Orion for the first time - what a wonderful and exciting time! I was so happy to have her here for a few weeks, and Orion loved her! Here is a picture I took on my phone just after Micki got home.

What a cute hat! We got it from Adam and Kiora - I just love it on him.

Well - after Micki got home we were rushing around trying to get ready for Christmas, a move, Mike and Lisa's wedding, and Orions Blessing. What a crazy time! We just got moved into our new condo a week after Christmas, and we love it! I am beginning the renovations and have started painting as of yesterday. We are so excited to have a place of our own. Sadly, we lost our camera cord in the move and I will include more pics of Ori and the new place as soon as I get that unpacked - ugh.

We also went out with a few friends Karen, Chris and their baby Gavin last night to dinner and then to their place for a movie. Gavin is 2 weeks younger then Orion but has been 2lbs heavier the whole time lol! It was so fun to be pregnant at the same time as my best friend Karen - and now we have our two boys who get along great already! Here are a few pictures I took with my phone again -

Karen and I had so much fun playing with the babies that we hardly watched the move :) - Anyway - I will update again soon, I am going to go search for my camera cord so I can include more fun pictures.
