As of lately-

These are just a few pics of what we have been up to lately.

It was still freezing cold about a month ago and Koy and I were going crazy in the house so we went to the park one day after Justin got home from work. Koy loves the park. He loves the slides the most right now and when he goes down them he says "sick." Hmmm... wierd lingo for a 17 month old but whatever...

He's just so excited that it kills me.

So excited!

He giggled the first little bit in the swing but it looks like he's giving it a "thumbs down."

Going on the slide by himself. He thinks he's so big.

This is what happens when you give him something in a plastic bag. It usually ends up dumped out on the floor.

I was hurrying to get some things done before we went to St. George so I threw our coats in to the washer. When it finished and I opened the washer, I found that Koy had loaded something that he thought needed washed.

Our friends Dan and Chels came up from Vegas and met is in St. George for the weekend. We spent one day in Zion and then we did some church history stuff on Saturday.

Looking at the view of the park.

Koy likes dirt.

Koy & Layne

Ice + Koy = Love

Seriously, that's all he wanted to eat.

It's raining babies!

Seriously though! Heather and Sam had their baby on Monday and Brady and Christi had their little girl on Wednesday! How fun, right? So far, I can happily say that both babies look like dolls to me and I want to just hold them both! Also, they both have more hair than Koy. He's a little jealous. Little Emmary is in the NICU still but they brought her to the window last night for us to see. It made me a little teary-eyed to see my Bagle holding his little girl! It was sweet. We are so excited to have two new little babies in our family. Also, Heidi has been pulled from the terd list for posting pics of her house that they've lived in for like EVER! :) Thanks Heidi and your house looks so nice. We'll have to come and visit sometime soon but that's all up to your brother.

Congrats!

Heather and Sam had their little baby boy yesterday and we are so excited! So far we've only had a couple of pics on the phone and we can't wait to see more of him! (We really should just go down and see him in real life.) Hopefully they'll update their blog soon. (Hint, hint... kind of. You guys have a good excuse right now.) Or maybe Heidi will update her blog (hint, hint, HINT!) and put pictures of him up for the rest of us to see. :) Sorry Heidi, you have no excuse so please get on that. (Also, some pics of your house would be nice, you terd!)

That's all!

Eggs are not balls

When I came downstairs after my shower and saw an egg sitting on the living room floor I just thought... well, I won't put that on here but all I can say is this mom was a little frustrated. Koy just said "ba" (ball) and then signed "eat." He pulled the eggs out of the fridge! Luckily there were only 3 in there and he only broke one. He was also so kind as to try to throw the eggshells away. There was a trail of eggshells to the garbage, yolk all over the lid and part of the shell inside. The other two eggs he was more careful with. They were both sticky and yellow but he even put one back in the fridge. If he wasn't so cute he would have been in trouble.

A walk in the woods

We went on a walk with my good friend Melissa and her little guy Sawyer the other day. Sawyer is a pretty cute little dog and wouldn't hurt anything but Koy is terrified of him. Go figure.

Here is Melissa and Sawyer... I think he has her eyes. Ha, ha, ha.

(It just cracks me up to say that.)

Koy's face cracks me up in this...

Brace yourselves...

Just kidding. I am however about to attempt the impossible: grocery shopping with Koy. Seriously. He fell out of the cart a few months back and ever since then, this has been a task I don't enjoy. (Yes, I felt like the worst mom in the world that day and yes, there is a lable right on the cart that says not to put your kid in the basket... but that didn't apply to me... until that day.) Last time we went, he had a complete melt down because he wanted a banana and I had to run to the cracker isle so I could give him something to keep him calm. He's awake from his nap so we're going while he's refreshed. Let the games begin.

The sweetest thing...

Koy started crying at 6:00 this morning and it's our goal to not get him until after 7 so that he doesn't think it's ok to get up that early. He had croup last week so that has thrown everything off schedule and so the training begins, again. Justin got up with him around 7 and went downstairs and I went back to sleep. (Yay!) At 8 I went downstairs and found the cutest thing. Justin and Koy were snuggled up on the couch and Koy was fast asleep. It was so sweet! Koy just loves his daddy and it melts my heart. I just wish I had a camara glued to my hand sometimes so I could catch every tender moment but I don't so writing it down will hopefully help me remember it.
