Happy Birthday To YOU!!!

We had a birthday party for Cash with some family on the day of his birthday. We found out that he really loves cake and he really loves to open presents. Who knew?!?

Not gonna lie... I have a really hard time keeping up with the blog and facebook at the same time. It's one or the other. Both seem to be beyond me. Anyway... Here's some updated pictures. And today is Cash's birthday. So big... Pictures to come soon.

The new game...

Sorry it's sideways again! I'll work on it. Promise

Lake Powell

So I'm having a really hard time keeping up with the blog and facebook. I've been told I need to blog more often. Sorry!

We've had a really busy summer. It's been great though! Lots and lots of playing. Here's the latest.

We went to Lake Powell this last week. OH SO FUN!

Here's the rest!

My cute neighbor Cori took these last week. She is absolutely amazing! I just wanted to share these with everyone. I stole them off her blog. If you guys are interested Cori's blog is corihenderson.blogspot.com She's so great!

CANNOT WAIT!

My cute neighbor is a super gifted photographer. I stole this off of her blog. I couldn't help myself. It was just so cute!!! I can't wait to see the rest.

Doggy Time

I know what you're thinking... It's not photoshopped though. Cash is really touching a dog! I'm pretty proud of myself actually. I'm working hard on putting my germ issues behind me. Not only that, but if I was going to let him touch a doggy this would be the one. He's SO cute!

I just couldn't resist when he started reaching for the puppy. Except for now I think that Duke might be scared of Cash. He doesn't know what "soft" means yet. But he was a very good sport.

Recap!!!

So it's been a while since I've blogged. We've had a ton going on and it's been hard to sit down and write about it all.

First of all was Lake Powell. Cash loved it! Can you tell? I kept trying to get him to smile for a picture and I think he got a little annoyed.

I finally had a girls night! It was a blast to see all the girls. It's so hard to get together that this little adventure was a month in the making.
Cash had his first haircut by aunt Britt. She's been wanting to cut it since the day he was born and I finally caved once she pointed out his 3 inch stragglers. He wasn't too sure about how losing his luscious locks made him feel.
This is what happens when mom has a girls night and the boys are left to fend for themselves. Bound to be the next Tiger Woods.
And, last but not least... Cash turned six months old and is pretty proud of himself that he can sit up now. He gets so excited that he starts to shake his arms and falls over.

What a fun day

Today was such a beautiful day that we decided we had to get out and enjoy it! We decided to go hiking up AF canyon. We had a great time with Britt and Jeff. Cash was such a little trooper too. He was a little unsure of the backpack at first but then Matt started walking and it was all good from there. Cash fell asleep half way through and didn't wake up until we got back to the truck.

What a lucky mommy!

This was my first mother's day. WHAT A TREAT! I sure have a great husband. He spoiled me all day. He didn't let me lift a finger. He topped it off with doing dinner and all the dishes. I'm so lucky to have him and my little man. They make me the HAPPIEST mommy in the whole world!

Nervous... Yeah, That's an Understatement!

We had these three 85' trees in our backyard that we've been wanting to take down for a while because the roots tear up our grass in the backyard and we've been wanting to put in a sprinkler system. We got a quote for someone to come over and it seemed pretty expensive just for them to knock them down. We would still have to haul them out ourselves. So Matt decided he wanted to do it himself. So with the help of our dad's and my sister's husband Jeff and a few neighbors they were able to knock them down.

I can't believe it but we were so lucky! No major damage. We're going to have to fix the fence in a few places but no house damage. Whew! I could barely watch! After you watch the video maybe you'll understand! (Sorry it's sideways, my bad!)

5 months old today

Lake Mead

We were a little nervous because it was Cash's first time out on a boat and sleeping in our trailer. It was a big weekend but the little munchkin passed with flying colors! He fussed when we first put his lifejacket on but was such a trooper the rest of the time. It was so nice to get away... Especially to someplace warm since it's been an eternal winter at home.

Who knew a daddy could be so funny???

I came home today and Matt showed me this video. Apparently Cash was really tired and this was the result. Matt said he was more than a little punch drunk!

I Want To Do it Myself, Thank You!

So Cash had his first taste of squash. He was fussing a little bit and I couldn't figure out why until he got a hold of the spoon and WOULD NOT give it back. I couldn't pry it from his death grip! The funny thing was that he couldn't figure out that he could control the the utensil that was gagging him... My poor child! Is it bad that I laugh at these things?!

Conference Weekend

I love conference! My little brother always said there's nothing as good as church on TV. I agree with that whole-heartedly but I also love that we're able to learn and grow and that it's direct guidance for us in our time right now. I found it interesting how the economy was talked about quite a bit. I thought it was so good to have a spiritual perspective on it. I've also been thinking a lot about how blessed we are. I feel like I have so much to be grateful for. I also feel like conference is such a good motivator for me. I always leave wanting to be better and to try harder. 

The Baby Einstein Phenomenon

Has anyone else ever experienced this??? It mesmerizes boys of all ages apparently :) I was waiting for drool to start down the corners of their mouthes. 

Thanks Val for the entertainment! It's been a hit!
