Graham + Tessa!

Graham and Tessa have been friends since the womb! Megan and I enjoyed sharing our pregnancy stories, making shopping trips to Babies R US, going on long walks to try to induce labor and having our babies 3 days apart! I had to post the pics that we have taken of them together because they are priceless! I hope that all of our documenting will be used in a wedding video some day!!!

Graham's 6 month Photo Shoot

Bobbie Whitney took Graham's 6 month pictures on Friday! She just sent me a sneak peak and I had to share them with you all! He was in the best mood the entire shoot, I don't know how he could not be with all of her toys and props! I have added her blog button to my blog --->
Check it out! I highly recommend her! Thanks again Bobbie!








Graham could not get enough of Addison! He kept trying to give her kisses! Really I think he was trying to eat her up! Good thing he does not have teeth!

16 more sleeps...

...until I get to hug SAM!!! I am so excited! It may seem like a short time for everyone else but it seems like a century to me! Especially because he has never met Max or Graham! My Mom and Mark left Monday to Argentina to pick him up! I think I am going to make my paper chain today!!!

Happy Half Birthday & St. Patricks Day!

Graham turned 6 months! He is now off the charts for both his height and weight! The only big surprise was his head was still on the chart! He is 22 lbs and is a very mellow happy fella! If he is not happy you just take off his socks and pants and he is as content as can be! His loves are his feet, drooling, blowing bubbles, sitting and playing with toys, the jumper, taking big boy baths, walks in the sunshine and playing with his best-friend George! (Shoot, this is starting to sound like a singles ad!)

Papa and Grandma Corinne, aka the Queen of Holidays, brought over a huge basket of Green gifts for the Leprechaun! They absolutely spoil him! He is so lucky to have the best Grandparents in the world! This might be the last holiday we can stick him in the basket, he took up a lot more space than he did on Valentines!
His favorite was the Shamrock foam door hang! All parents should have one of these! Perfect teething toy!


Yo Yo, aka Grandma Dru, made Graham and George these hysterical Leprechaun hats! I was buckled over all day watching the meatballs play wearing their hats!
Kiss me I'm Irish and pantless!!!

Graham is so happy being out of the baby bath! I can't believe I kept him in it for so long! He loves lying down in the bath and splashing and kicking! He does it so hard he makes a wake! I think I am going to start wearing a raincoat while I bath him.


Viva La Mexico!!!

Chris and I went to Playa Del Carmen for 5 days at the beginning of March with his team from work! It was fabulous to get away but it was so hard being away from Graham -Bam for the first time! He had a great time having sleepovers with Dru and Diane & J and the girls! My heart ached for him but we were well distracted!!!



Standing on top of the only Pyramid that you can still climb! The view was amazing!









Climbing the ruins! It was so steep and rugged! Climbing up was fun until Erin told me not to look down, so of course I did! Coming down was the scary part! One wrong step and it is a hard landing!
We rented bikes and rode to the Pyramids! The pedal on my bike was barely hanging on and the brakes were backwards, hysterical! It was a beautiful ride through the jungle.

My Mom is Famous!


My 2 favorite bike partners were featured in the Ogden Standard Examiner! This would only happen to Dru & Cookie! Anytime I am invited on their adventures we always meet the most interesting people who instantly become their best friends! They are classic! Thank you Standard Examiner for capturing these two in action!

Rockin' Robin and Cousins!

Graham is wearing the beautiful hand-knit Robin sweater and hat that my gorgeous Aunt Mary designed and knit for him! She is so creative and so generous! Thanks Mimi!

Me and my Birdie!
Aunt Annie and Grahambo
His face in this picture totally kills me!

Uncle Brocky and Graham! Graham is rivaling Brock as the biggest baby in the family! We were comparing baby pics and I think Brock still might have the title! Hopefully he ends up as handsome as Brock!
I am not sure why this pic is so small... Jenny, Nate, Liam and Owen came in town over Valentines! It was so fun to have them here! Please com back soon! In the pic: Lindsay & Ethan, Jenny & Owen, Me & Graham!

Graham enjoying delicious bananas! His huge eyes in this picture explains it all!
HE LOVES TO EAT!
Completely satisfied with a smile!
Owen 13 month, Graham 5 months, Ethan 3 months
Ethan is tickling Graham under the arm!
Graham and Owen were being pulled in the wagon by Liam! Owen was sitting on Graham because he G-Unit out weighs him by a few!!!

Happy Valentines From the 5 month old!

Graham turned 5 months yesterday! I know this is a cliche but I want to freeze him at this age! He is fun, engaging and stationary! His passions are his feet & hands, playing in his command center, cell phones, remotes, watching TV and being NAKED! He is such a man child!!! He keeps us entertained all day long!
Workin' the Command Center!

He LOVES belly rubs from JoJo!

Grandma Corrine and Papa Tom showered Graham with gifts for his first Valentines! Corrine is the Queen of Holidays! She always makes celebrating and decorating for Holidays so much fun! Thank you! XOXO

Shocked by all his fun gifts ... Or just wanting to get his mouth on all of it!
My little Valentine is his gift basket!

Visits from my friends!
