IBC Rootbeer + Koy = Love

Justin gave Koy his rootbeer bottle the other night at Chili's. He sucked on it through dinner, ice cream and until we took him out of his carseat when we got home...

Mr. 5 Months (1 week and 2 days...)

I'm a little late getting this posted, but here are Koy's 5 month pics w/his monkey. He is just getting so big! We finally put most of the 3 month clothes away. It was sad but it was kind of fun because now he has some different clothes to wear. This month he has started to really enjoy his tummy and even has rolled from his back to tummy a few times and he can roll over his left shoulder now too. His little bottom teeth are just growing and growing and they are so cute, but SO sharp! He loves to bite on anything he can find and even got Justin's finger pretty good the other day. He's been sleeping really well the last few nights and we hope that it lasts. Justin told Koy the other night that if he slept good he would buy him a puppy, well, Koy took it pretty serious and slept until a little after 5:30. The next night he didn't get up until after 6 and then this morning he slept until 7:30! Now the trick is to not go on any trips for a while so we don't mess up this good streak! He still drools like crazy but in the last few weeks he's really been getting the spitting up thing in control. Finally! I know that's so gross, but he just has had a really hard time keeping his food down. Although, I did take him to see the Dr. last week and when the Dr. got close to him he chucked. It was pretty funny. He is getting more and more fun to interact with and he just grins and giggles at you. We have so much fun with him and he makes the funniest noises sometimes that Justin and I just laugh. Oh, he's just so cute!

(Yes, his jeans are floods. We'll eventually buys him some that fit.)

(I love this face and you can kind of see his teeth.)

(He looks so cute in his denim jacket. Thanks Aunt Heather!)

Spring Break

Justin's spring break was actually pretty adventurous this year. On Friday we headed down to St. George so that we could be to my grandma's 90th birthday party on Saturday. Since we had never been to the St. George temple, we decided we would get up Saturday morning and go. Bagle and Christi joined us and it was pretty fun. Then we went to grandma's b-day party, ate, looked at some pictures that were pretty humerous. Actually, it was really fun to see pictures of us that we had never seen but it was even more fun to read the captions by some of them. Oh grandma... Then we stopped by Neilson's to get frozen custard before we headed out to California. Mmmm... custard....

We were about 100 miles away from Matt and Laurie's house when Koy had decided he was not going to sleep or be good in the car seat anymore. However, due to some quick thinking, I hit the play button on my phone and handed it to him. The annoying sample songs kept him entertained and when I reached back to snap a picture of him, this is what I found... It was fun to stay w/Matt and Laurie and be to Paige's blessing. We had a great time in Cali and Justin even went and hung out with the Vet in Laurie's ward one day. I think he had a good time. Also, we went hot tubbing and then Justin got the idea to jump in their un-heated pool. Yeah, freeze ya to death. I was kind of a chicken, but after you got in and your heart skipped a few beats, you were ok.

Koy and Paige. (I think he's pinching her? J/k.)

On the way home we stopped and stayed a night in Vegas. The main reason we go to Vegas is to see Danny and Chels. (Thanks for always letting us bombard you!)

Danny, Justin and their kiddo's watching the "water dance."

And after we watched the fountains at the Belagio, we headed home. We stopped in St. George at grandma's to bathe Koy and get more custard. Seriously, you can't pass up the opportunity to get custard. We didn't get home until a little after 3 am, which is insanely late but it was a lot easier on Koy. He slept the whole way from St. George! Wahoo! We really had a good trip and it was so nice to be in the warmth and sunshine! I am half tempted to move there, but it may be a little to0 hot for us in the summers, so I guess Laurie will just have to move back to Utah!

Procrastination

I should be packing but I'm not. TV is boring and Justin isn't home yet.... so obviously there is NOTHING to do. Koy has been asleep since shortly after 7 and hopefully he'll sleep well tonight because I fear it might be his last good night for a while. Travel is never good on him. Oh well...

Have I ever told anyone that I just love Justin? He's so cute. He had to shoe some horses early this morning and when he came home I was just getting Koy dressed. (Dressing Koy is seriously a long process. He's so stinkin' funny and we just end up playing and then before I know it, we've been playing for over an hour... anyway...) Justin comes up and starts talking to Koy and he's like, "Should we go to the auction?" and I'm thinking, "Do I look like I'm ready to go to the auction?" Well, Justin was just talking to Koy, not me. Imagine my dissapointment. J/k. He just wanted to take Koy for a little while and chill together. I thought it was so cute. He likes just takin' his little boy with him. Infact, Koy has been to the auction more than I have and last time I went there was this crappy horse for sale that I wanted really bad. It was only $20 and even though it probably would have died the next day, I felt so bad that no one would even pay $20 for him! Really, when he went back into the corrals and the other horses asked what he went for, he had to admit he wasn't even worth $20. What a dissapointment. He was probably mocked. Poor thing... Well, it may be Koy's last time at the auction because he got a little rowdy and decided to buy some steers. Silly kid. So now we have 6 kids instead of 1. Justin is pretty excited. I just love to see him happy! He took them over to Tremonton tonight and I called him like 2 hours ago and he was stuck... Hmmm... hopefully he gets home sometime tonight.

Last Saturday it was so sunny but freezing outside that I couldn't resist trying on a cute summer thing on Koy... He probably froze but once the cute lil' outfit was on him, I didn't want to take it off...

That was the first time he has sat in the rocking chair on his own and he had a ball! He's so funny. Hil came and babysat him that day and Justin and I went to Taken. Wow. It was good at the time but really, it gave me nightmares. We got home and I'm not sure Koy was being a very good boy. He was teething last week and he was just grumpy. Sorry Hil!

Koy loves to be upside down and last night Justin hung him upside down and he was trying so hard to arch his back to see what was behind him. It was so funny and he was just excited and probably wondered why everything looked so silly.
