More on Koy

Yesterday I went to Millie's house and Koy totally freaked out. Seriously, he was so mad and nothing could calm him down. He cried for like 30 minutes and I finally stuck him in his carseat and he stopped. Isn't that a little wierd for a 3 month old to freak out like that?

Today has been a happy day. Justin found Koy's binky!!! I thought we lost it a few weeks ago and so I bought him the 3+ month Soothie binkies and he just doesn't like them. They are made of a harder plastic and he almost refuses take it. Justin saved my life by finding that thing. I washed his binky and he's takin' it like a champ!

Anyway, Sunday Koy wanted to take his favorite treat to church with him...

That's right, he knows what is good for him. For the first few months chocolate hurt his tummy but not anymore. Yay! (Justin still doesn't believe me that it was chocolate but I believe otherwise.)

Our lives aren't that exciting but here are a few pics for the fam.

Taking a nap... his cheeks are getting huge!

Playing with dad and laughing his head off. Seriously. He cracks us up.

Happy kid.

3 Months!

Koy is now 3 months old. Time sure does fly and we can't believe how big he is getting! He is such a happy baby and we just love him more and more everyday!
In celebration we went to the store. J/k. We actually just needed milk. Suprise, suprise. We need to invest in a milk cow to save some $$ because we go through it so quickly. Anyway, we picked up all of the things we needed and headed to check out. I was unloading things and grabbed the eggs and noticed how when I was placing the carton on the little conveyor belt it became lighter and lighter. Much to my suprise, when I looked back, about half of the eggs had fallen out because I grabbed it from the wrong side. Yes, there were eggs cracked all over the cart and floor. Yum. Justin just stared at me. The lady at the register was really nice and said that we could get another pack. So I finished checking out and Justin went back for more eggs. He got them bagged up and we headed out to the car. Well as luck would have it, Justin dropped them in the cart when he was putting Koy in the car. (Koy was supposed to be holding them. I guess we won't do that again.) So, we got home and most of those eggs were broken. So between the eggs we still had in the fridge we were able to replace them and we now have almost a full carton. We're officially retarded.

I let Justin have the remote...

and the T.V. ends up on KUED watching some kind of wierd midevil play. I guess I'll just have to take control of the remote from now until the rest of eternity. :) J/k. He didn't mean to put it on something stupid but he wasn't in any hurry to change the channel. Wierd. So I've decided this blogging thing isn't for me. Our life is kind of boring w/the one exception of Koy. He's funny and he's starting to giggle more and more. We took him to his first USU bball game last week. He was such a good baby and he just sat on Justin's lap the whole time. We picked out some good seats where everyone around us was sitting down to watch the game. That is very rare for the student section and about half-way through the first half some girls came and sat in the row in front of us. Well, they decided to stand up and it kind of ticked everyone off that was sitting down behind them. So the first time-out comes and I tapped one of the girls on the shoulder and asked her very nicely to sit down because everyone behind them wanted to sit down to watch the game. Guess what she did? She just turned around and they just kept standing. Justin held Koy over their coats for a second hoping he would spit up on them but it didn't work. We and the rest of the crowed behind us were pretty upset and so people kept yelling at them to sit down and they wouldn't. Grrr.

We went to Randolph this weekend so that Justin could work on his new baby. He sold the Dodge and bought an '82 GMC w/a flat bed. He's been dreaming of this purchase since I can remember. It doesn't run yet but I think he's having a good time fixing that beast up. It's all he thinks about these days and he just gets all giddy and stuff when he gets to go work on it. Oh, well. I personally teared up when the dodge was officially sold. It's almost like he sold all of our memories of dating, our first trip to AZ and all sorts of other stuff and they all belong to some stranger now. Goodness, I don't think he quite understands that when he came to pick me up for our first date and I saw that he drove a dodge, I was his. It melted my heart. J/k. I really was totally excited that he drove a truck and that he wasn't some silly sissy city kid.

My mom accidentally killed Bagle and Christi's fish this weekend. It was so sad and she felt so bad. I just kept telling her it was just a fish and everytime we mentioned it she would well up with tears. Poor lady. I guess she was attached to him or something. We are sorry for your loss Christi and just be glad that it was mom that killed him and not me because I would have just bought a new fish and never told you that I killed him. J/k. I would have just told Brady and had him break the news to you.

Koy will be 3 months this week and he's starting to get on a pretty good schedule. It has taken a while for him to get back on schedule from our trip to AZ but hopefully tonight is a miracle night and he doesn't wake up until 8. . . we can wish, right?

New Pics

On the left are some pictures of Koy that Emily took when he was 6 weeks... pretty cute, huh?

Christmas Vacation

Our Christmas was a little crazy this year and I feel kind of bad that I didn't get one picture of Koy with the Christmas tree but there is always next year... right? We left on the 23rd to go to Randolph and after 1,500 miles, we are officially home. Here are a few highlights from our holiday:

• First of all, it was Koy's first Christmas. He was so excited that he slept through the whole thing.
• We saw all of Koy's great grandparents all on Christmas day. Starting in Randolph, then to Evanston and finally ended up in St. George on Christmas night.
• Koy started laughing. Millie got him giggling pretty hard on Christmas eve. It is SO cute!
• Justin didn't have to eat Oyster Stew again. Sucker. He's too stubborn to even try the stuff. (The first time he tried it a couple of years ago, he dipped a cracker in the broth and almost puked...) I don't blame him. I couldn't bring myself to have any either this year. Question: Why don't we have a Christmas tradition that everyone likes? Answer: Good question...
• We left Christmas day about 11:00 to head to St. George. We tried to miss the huge snow storm but ran into it at Silver Creek Junction. We lost control in the little Civic and if Justin wasn't a Nascar driver in his previous life, we probably would have wrecked. We both said a million prayers and finally made it to Heber safely. We will NEVER travel in a storm again... unless we have 4 wheel drive... hmmm... do I see a new 4-Runner in the future? I WISH!
• Koy has now been traumatized and is not a huge fan of his carseat... after more than 1,500 miles, I don't blame him.
• Hoover Dam is cool... kind of. After waiting in traffic for 1.5 hrs trying to get across the darn thing it looses its luster.
• Road Rage... need I say more?
• I saw my first real Cactus that looked like the one on the Taco Bell sign. It was wierd after I realized I'd never seen one in real life before.
• Congrats to Heidi and Jacob on getting married. We're so happy for you and glad we could be there but Jacob does have one strike against him. Good heavens, I'm the only in-law that didn't grow up in Round Valley or live in Mesa... How could you forget my name?!!
• Mesa would be number 1 on my list to live if it wasn't so hot in the summer. It was so nice to get out of the cold for a few days!
• Colton and his imaginary pet fly, Fido, are always good enternainment. Justin and I are still laughing about how cute that is. Colt is pretty serious about Fido. Don't pretend to eat him or you'll have one upset little boy on your hands.
• We got to see all of Justin's family and almost all of mine. It has been pretty fun. Don't worry G'ma Kim, Koy won't forget you!
• After 1,500 miles, we didn't even have to pay for one hotel room. Thanks Heather and Sam for providing us a place to stay! We appreciate it!
• We stayed in Vegas w/Dan and Chelsee on the way home. Thanks you guys! Camdyn made Koy's bed with blankets and a pillow. It was pretty cute!
• Justin and I didn't used to mind a long drive to Arizona but it's amazing how one little kid can change that. Oh well. It was worth it!
• We got home on Tuesday and Ty, Camille and Kayden came and stayed with us last night. They live in Indiana and we haven't seen them FOREVER! Kayden is such a cutie and I can't wait until Koy can run around with him.

I didn't get many pictures but here are a few:

This is Colt holding Koy... I'm not sure Colt knew what to think.

Here are the boots Great G'pa & G'ma South gave Koy. So cute!

This was our last pit stop in Nephi on the way home. Koy was still as smiley as ever. He ended up having a huge blow out after this and let me tell you, it takes true talent to change a diaper in the front seat of a car. Justin was the brave one and held Koy on his lap while I did the dirty work. We got laughing so hard because it's just amazing what such a little guy can manage...

Where's Kayden?...

There he is!
