This was a day before Beau got sick so he definitely looks less smiley and more lethargic in these photos. Almost the entire time he didn’t feel well he would say “show…… shhhooooowwww” which obviously means he wants to watch a youtube video of any type of singing cartoon. Anything that’s really annoying and gets stuck in your head are always his favorites :). And I’m telling you this boy practically never not has a car in his hand! I sort of just melt over these pictures of him and his big juicy lips (insert so many heart eye emojis). We are so excited it’s the weekend and we are all healthy. Beau is back to sleeping in his crib through the night! Part of me misses having him snuggle me all night long when he was sick. But mostly I’m just so happy he is back to his energetic self again.

So yesterday I decided to go get the car washed. It was filthy and I figured Beau would love the ride through the soap and water. He did not. Afterward at the vacuums I let Beau out of his car seat to sit in the driver’s seat (with the car off) so he could pretend to drive while I vacuumed. I closed the back of the car and went to vacuum the front only to discover I have left my keys in the cupholder and Beau has hit the lock button while playing. So he locked himself in with the keys and my phone. I had to ask a random person to borrow her phone to call 911 to send the fire department to get my car open! Needless to say it was kind of embarrassing having an enormous fire truck with like 5 guys come get my car open. Lesson learned, always keep your keys on you. Huge #momfail

Here is a week of baby B. This sweet boy is so sick, as you can see by the last two pictures. He is super fevered and currently on a steady stream of Motrin and Tylenol. Beau has always been a champ of a sleeper. Down by 9 and never up until morning between 7:30 and 9:00. But these past few nights he’s been in our bed only wanting snuggled extra tight, and lots of songs sung in his ear. Needless to say we haven’t slept but a few hours the past couple nights, but we’re hoping tonight is a better one! He is such an active boy so when he doesn’t want to get out of bed I know he is not feeling good. Wish us luck! Hopefully your week is going well with no signs of being sick.

ps. I’m 2 episodes in to Making a Murderer and I literally have no words. So many emotions at once. I’m on my way to watch the 3rd episode, yikes…

Bath time is a favorite over at our house! Sometimes if Beau is being particularly whiny, or I just need to sit down for a minute I’ll put him in the bath and he’s in heaven! And honestly so am I to get to actually sit back and watch him play. Plus there isn’t much sweeter than a chubby naked baby! I hope you are all having a great week so far. My parents are in Hawaii, and my sister is in Disneyland so I’m feeling a little jealous of them for escaping January in Utah! We will just stay warm with plenty of baths 😉

Beau’s favorite spot in his room is the window. It’s the perfect height for him to reach and see all the cars. And by that I mean the one car parked on the side of the road in our neighborhood. One morning Blake was out shoveling all the snow and Beau watched him the entire time saying “dada” over and over again. Followed by “caw” (car) and pointing his sweet fingers at his dad. He is always holding a car in his hand. Like no matter what he’s doing he has at least one car! I love this boy and his messy bed head so much! What are your plans for New Years? We always get Thai food to go and are in bed by like 11. That’s how cool we are. I hope your New Year is amazing! It has been a wonderful 2015. I started blogging over the summer, and we moved into our home in the winter. It was a very happy year and I’m excited to see what happens in 2016. Thank you so much to those of you who read this blog. It means more than I can write into words! I have big dreams and goals for this little blog of mine. Thank you for being there! xoxo

our christmas.

I hope you guys had a great Christmas! Ours was really perfect and everything we could have hoped for. I’ve mentioned before that we didn’t put up any Christmas decor because of our move, so that was the only thing really missing. Christmas morning we had some cars set up for Beau, which he loved, before we ate cereal for breakfast and headed out to family’s houses. We all got spoiled with too many things from Grandma and Grandpa. The best part of it all was spending so much time with the ones we love most! We are so grateful to have both of our family’s just a short drive away. As you can see our Beau had a very busy and fun day that tuckered him right out in the car. I just can’t get over his sweet pouty lips while he sleeps (heart eye emojis X 1million). It’s hard to get back in the swing of things after Christmas but luckily another break this weekend for New Years!

Happy Monday, thanks for reading!

Beau gets really giggly when we take selfies together! He started laughing, so I started laughing, and we didn’t stop until he got the hiccups. Anytime he sees himself in the mirror or a phone he says “baby” and gets all cheesy. It’s really the cutest. This last picture I caught of him when I was in my room and it got a little too quiet. I ran to his room and saw him looking through a book quietly. He does this often and I’m a puddle on the floor every time. He’s getting so big and smart and learns so many new words every day. He can now count to 10 (although he gets stuck around 6 and 7). I feel like I can understand what he wants with his little words most of the time. It’s sad how fast this time goes! How badly I wish I could press pause. But each day brings more new things for him and just more joy for me.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! I hope you spend it with family, and good food, and gratitude for what this day is really about. And of course maybe a pair of shoes or something 😉 xo

I had to share our Christmas pictures that my dear friend Angela took of our little family. I’m so in love with these shots and the boys in them, I can hardly believe they are mine! Beau’s personality is perfectly displayed in them. And I giggle every time I look at the picture of Blake and I with our baby in the background just walking along by himself! He has the funniest personality ever. I can hardly believe Christmas is in one week. This year hasn’t felt very festive with moving into a new house. I mean, it’s the greatest Christmas gift ever but we didn’t even put up a tree this year because of unpacking and settling in. So we feel kind of grinchy! Next year we will really make up for it and go Christmas crazy! Luckily Beau doesn’t really get it yet so we can get away with it this year.

Have the best weekend! I have some Christmas shopping to finish up, as well as taking my little babe to see Santa.

a snowy wednesday with beau

IMG_0503IMG_0481IMG_0524IMG_0457IMG_0465IMG_0468IMG_0470IMG_0530

We woke up to a winter wonderland this week. Zero snow one day and the next everything was COVERED! I myself have never really been a snow fan, but there is just something so beautiful about it. I like it most when I don’t have to leave the house and can enjoy it from a warm home. But now that I have a little one who enjoys playing in it, I like snow much more than I used to. Last winter wasn’t a snowy one, plus Beau was 6 months old. So this year is his first time playing in the snow. I got him all bundled up and let him play in the backyard thinking he wouldn’t love the cold. But oh man he LOVED it! I got freezing and had to go inside to watch him from my back door. He didn’t want to come in and seriously could have played forever. Plus I was dying over how cute he looked in his snow gear. A baby in snow pants is amazing.

We have had a busy week with moving and unpacking so when Beau got croup the timing couldn’t have been worse! Although there is no good time for a sick baby. He has been the sweetest boy even through feeling horrible. We went to the dr. today and got him medicine and a sucker, so he’s feeling MUCH better! He even let me take a few shots of him before his nap time. I love this baby so much I could eat him up! Have the happiest of Wednesdays.

Well Thanksgiving is over and now it’s all Christmas-y around here. Our Thanksgiving was lovely and delicious! I also got a ton of my Christmas shopping done online with all the great sales going on. I am not big on going out on black Friday with all the crowds so staying in sweats and shopping from my bed is my thing. These pics are from last week when the weather was still warm enough to play outside. It was our last jump on the tramp for the season and we soaked it up! I am really excited to watch Beau play in the snow for the first time this winter. I just know he will love it!! I hope you all had a great weekend and find some great deals for cyber Monday!

We are moving in to our house this week!!!!!!!!! We couldn’t be more thrilled to soon be in our new home.
