Akoy's Annoucement

I can't believe how long this has taken me to post. I've had it done for awhile. :) My sweet sister in law made these for me. I loved how the turned out. The first one is just a one sided announcement and then the second one is something a little different. It has two sides to it. They both turned out so cute! Thanks Amanda!

Second one. Side One
Side two

Lots of Posts!

I just posted a few posts, don't miss them! :)

Ryker's Blessing

Today my friend Amber blessed her baby Ryker. Akoy and Ryker are only a few weeks apart! I am excited for them to grow up and be friends! :) I think Ryker wanted his binky in this picture.


*Notice the blue socks?!! Don't you just love them with his cute outfit!?!? We were rushed getting out the door and once on the road I realized Akoy didn't have socks or shoes on. This is what we had in the diaper bag. Oh well. Such is life.

Fun with Akoy!

We went to the BYU vs TCU game a couple of weeks ago. We had fun. The game.. not so much. Other than the fact that we got creamed, we enjoyed the game. We got Akoy all bundled up and we even got to enjoy some hot chocolate! So yummy! Before we headed to the game I went to the dealership a little early to help with Akoy's cousin Addi. Amanda had a photography shoot so I played with Addi and Akoy at the dealership. I put Akoy in her carseat and him in her car seat (too many pronouns in that sentence..oh well!)

Here they are together



Another milestone- Sleeping in his own crib
We have had a nightmare and a half with his crib. I will tell the story when I have his room all done and can put pictures up of it. Long story short right now, after getting all the parts to fix it we decided it was Akoys time to sleep in his own room. He has been sleeping so much better in his crib! I am so happy he likes his room. I swear he stares at the camera we have in there just to freak us out. If any of you have a video montier, does your child look like an alien wanting to kill you? It creeps me out and gives me nightmares sometimes! His eyes even glow! So creepy!
Laughing! Akoy has been laughing so much lately! It is so stinkn' cute! Please ignore our baby talk. He laughs so much better with it. :)



I got my hair done the other day and made sure I had Bryson home in time to babysit Akoy. Check! Little did I know my sister had me take Val Dean so she could go to a meeting for Nuskin. I picked him up and he had Fox and the Hound all ready with his dvd player. We went to my other sisters salon and got him all set up. He did amazing! He had in his chair or stood next to it the whole time. He made a big mess with all his treats he had people bring him. I think he is the only two year old (almost 3) allowed in the salon.


We had family pictures on my side. My little brother was down so we decided to take one. Here is kinda what we got after quickly organizing it! Sorry it is a little blurry, it is off my mom's phone.

Here are some more cute pictures I found on my moms phone.

Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween at School!
I brought Akoy to school for part of the day on Friday. I wanted to take him in the Halloween Parade. He slept through most of it but it was still fun to have him with me! We found his costume and thought it was cute so we decided to all be Wizard of Oz characters.

What made the day even more fun, is the other teachers brought their kids! There were four of us to have babies when the school year started. Here are a couple of the other teachers with their boys. Sorry Brooke that ours turned out blurry. That's what I get when I ask and 11 year old to do it. :)



Actual Halloween:
We went trick or treating with all my nieces and nephews. It was pretty fun. Bryson convinced a few people that the scarecrow needed some candy!
Unfortunately I pulled in the driveway right after this picture was taken! :(


My tin man...

Snow Fairy!

This year I started a new tradition with my family. I got the idea from one of my parents neighbors. The first snowfall of the year when it sticks to the ground, the snow fairy comes and visits! She brings nice new warm pajamas for the family! Since it snowed the other day, we got new PJ's! We found them laying on our beds.

Akoy's First Movie

During fall break a couple weeks ago, we took Akoy to his first movie. We went and saw "Where the Wild Things Are." Bryson took him out when he got fussy and after awhile of not coming back and I went out as well. Akoy had spit up all over him and was still fussy. So I took him and went and sat back down. Akoy fell asleep in my arms and slept the rest of the movie. I love that I have the touch. I love when he just wants mommy and nothing else can make him happy. Is that wrong? Being gone most of the week has been hard and I miss just holding him and cuddling.

I think Akoy's face in this picture looks a little like the Wild Thing. I forgot it's name..

The next week we went and saw another movie with him. Amielia Earhart. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it. We did forget his bottle in the car though so Bryson had to run back and get it. While he was gone Akoy had a blow out (not a surprise- they are getting old now) and this one got on my pants. The joys of motherhood. He's not quite cut out for the movies yet. He doesn't like to sit still for that long. It was funny to watch him watch the screen. I know he can't see that far but he could have fooled anyone.
