P.S.

I just realized if you double click on the photo of Jeffrey in the snow with the pine tree you can see his little teeth! So cute! :) And so then I decided to post a few more pics! We took this picture of Jeffrey yesterday at Scott and Laurie's house in Hidden Springs visiting Sarah and Esa! Esa is BEAUTIFUL, just like her mommy! But we will let her mommy post her pictures, they are adorable!
These are the pictures of decorating our Christmas tree that did not turn out. Figures. Here is Jeffrey with his first ornament, a train engine. He looks so thrilled, but yet again, he might just be angry we made him wear his reindeer antlers.

And the infamous onesie that Grant picked out before Jeffrey was even born. Grant has been looking forward to Jeffrey wearing this onesie for a long time, so here it is. (I am not a huge fan, but what can you do)

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE!

THE HOLIDAYS! I love them! As soon as Thanksgiving was over, Grant started playing Christmas hymns and songs on the guitar and it is awesome! Jeffrey LOVES watching and listening to Grant on the guitar. Lately, this is how I find them, playing music together!
SNOW DAY! Yes, even big kids in college deserve a snow day once in a while! :) Wednesday was declared a snow day across the whole valley, so we had to take some pictures to document Jeffrey's 1st Snow Day! And I had not had a Snow Day since 2nd grade, so I enjoyed it myself!
Here is Jeffrey! Grant took a picture of him in his first real snow. (And I of course as the mother made sure that there was an old towel under Jeffrey so he wouldn't get wet.) Isn't he cute?!

Decorating the Christmas tree is one of my big highlights of the season. I LOVE Christmas trees because they are my favorite. My parents invited us over Sunday evening to decorate their tree, so here is Jeffrey. We ended up decorating ours on our Snow Day, but none of the pictures really turned out . . . I will have to post one next time. I will admit that once I wrote on Jeffrey's 1st ornament, I started to cry. I despise this precious little boy growing up!

And talking of that little guy, he now has his two top and two bottom teeth. They are adorable, but I have no photo proof since Jeffrey just does not cooperate. Oh well, maybe someday. :) But last night at about 1 am he used those teeth (somehow) to bit his top lip. He woke up screaming and bleeding, but we got it under control. We just felt really bad.

He is rolling around like crazy, and I am just waiting for him to start crawling! His next appointment is this Wednesday, so I am anxious to know his progress. All I know is that he is getting heavier!

He LOVES to laugh! He randomly will start giggling, and it is hilarious! He loves cartoons, and my mom says he is a professional toy player, because he loves to play! Luckily he still loves to cuddle and give me kisses, and he says MAMA! LOVE HIM!

A NEW Post!

Happy Halloween! Yes, I have not posted in forever, so there it is, late, but Jeffrey is so cute as Buzz Lightyear that I think it makes up for it! This is Jeffrey at 8 months. After we (finally) found his costume we had to try it on.

Jeffrey got to big for his Bumbo chair, so we bought him a high chair that just straps onto a chair. So Grant thought it would be fun to put Jeffrey in the box. Surprisingly, it entertained Jeffrey for about an hour.

Jeffrey's 1st pumpkin! He got to paint it Halloween morning and he enjoyed it, until he wanted to eat the paint, so then fun was over.

Jeffrey, about at eight months, started rolling around everywhere! This was his first time at home where he went a good distance. He is growing up!

Happy Thanksgiving, but we are too excited for Christmas! So Christmas, hurry up!

Week After July 4th to Today!

The week after the 4th of July my family all went up to McCall to spend the week. It was a lot of fun and Grant was even able to come up for a couple of days! Here is Jeffrey on the boat.

This is Jeffrey sitting on the back deck of the boat putting his feet in the water. So cute! He is with Annie and my cousin Natalie. I am of course there hanging on to him! :)

Jeffrey showing off his team spirit!

My cute baby! He is growing way too fast!

Jeffrey Labor Day weekend on the boat in McCall.

Jeffrey and his Aunt Ashley on Labor Day at my Grandma's for a BBQ. And for a side note, Ashley leaves for her mission to Cambodia in exactly one week. We are going to miss her!

Jeffrey showing off his official 6 month old self in his pjs.

This picture was taken this last weekend. The Hughes' were kind enough to let us spend the day Saturday to watch General Conference. Dillon played with Jeffrey who loved every minute of it!

Jeffrey standing on the back of the chair. This was taken last week, and tomorrow he will be 7 months old! I cannot believe it! Oh, and do not worry, I was right there to catch him just in case. You can see my slipper and my pj pants in the bottom left corner!

I apologize for the delay in posting! We have been really busy with school and everyday life!

We ARE still here!

So I have not posted in a month because of two reasons! One is that Grant and I both went back to school full time. Needless to say, it was a very hard adjustment. With Jeffrey and I crying every day for two weeks, and periodically the next two, I am now glad to say that we are now used to this hectic schedule! I go to school Tuesdays and Thursday from noon to five and one night class Wednesday. Grant is able to watch Jeffrey Tuesdays and my Mom watches him the other two.

My second reason for not posting is that I am having trouble getting my pictures off of my camera to my computer! I think every post has to have a picture of Jeffrey, and I am not getting the stupid USB drive thing to work! So that is why I have not posted, and yes, Jeffrey is almost seven months and I cannot believe it. He is getting way too big.

Grant's FYI

Grant wanted to let everyone know that the "fruity looking outfit" that Jeffrey is wearing in the picture below is in actuality a bib. :)

Five Months!

Jeffrey this last Saturday turned five months old! I cannot believe how times flies! We also started Jeffrey on rice cereal in the mornings. Let us just say it is definately a work in progress!

Jeffrey and I before church yesterday! I cannot believe how much he has grown up! And below is the 4th of July picture I never posted! I definately need to take more pictures on these holidays.

And to think that Jeffrey only came home four and a half months ago. They grow up way to fast.

McCall

Last week Jeffrey, my family, and I were able to spend our time in McCall. So much fun! Steph even came down from Canada with Bristol to visit so it was a lot of fun. Here is Jeffrey and Bristol for an evening boat ride on the lake. Isn't she cute?!

Grandpa and Jeffrey. It was their first of many boat rides together! :)

He is officially four months! I cannot believe it!

Grant was able to miss two days of work to come to McCall. It was a very nice break for him! Here is Grant and Jeffrey testing out the hammocks Grant brought from Brazil to have in McCall at the cabin!.

I'm putting this one up for Grant. :) He recently bought this 1978 Bronco that he absolutely loves! And he also loves that it only has 28,000 original miles! It's his new toy. :)

Jeffrey Rolling Over

Jeffrey started rolling over in the past couple weeks and I finally caught it with my camera, so the filming quality is not the best, but here is the evidence!

Summer! . . .so far!

This summer we of course had to start it off in McCall at my parents cabin. It was Jeffrey's first trip to McCall and also in his Bumbo chair. He evidently did not enjoy it at first but now he enjoys sitting in it. Unfortunately it was bad weather in McCall so Jeffrey did not venture outside at all.

Jeffrey loves his aunt Annie!

Once the weather became sunny Jeffrey started venturing out more. I love this picture!

I recently purchased the three Ninnja Turtle movies, a definate must in my opinion.If you don't know my past history with the Ninja Turtles, maybe someday I will share that tidbit from my childhood later! :) Jeffrey also had to sport his Turtle Power onesie (thanks Heidi!) when we watched them together. I maybe biased, but I am sure he loved them!

Jeffrey's first swim! He actually enjoyed it, even if his face says otherwise!

Happy Fathers Day! For Grandpa Hughes all of the grandkids took pictures that we put together so it said We love Grandpa! Jeff evidently was the "love" picture! I cannot take credit for the idea, so thanks Carly and Abby!
