His Day

    We blessed Dawson this last Sunday and the day was perfect!  I loved every minute of it.  Jesse gave him a wonderful blessing and I felt the spirit all day long.  I am so blessed to have Dawson in my life.  I'm so grateful that I can be his mom.

   Everyone came to our house after and we ate lunch.  It was fun to chat and enjoy baby D.

    Four generation picture!  So neat.

Jesse's parents can't get enough of Dawson!

  
                   All my sisters, my mom and baby!  :)

    My cute kids came too!  Love them!  Dawson loves them too.
We loved his day.....when it was over I said to Jesse, "I'm sad it's over, but glad it was so great!"



   Well Dawson's first Halloween has come and gone.  It was so much fun dressing him up!  Jesse dressed up as buddy the elf for work....he looked exactly like him!

   On Halloween night we went over to Jesse's parents house and ate chili and played games.  It was fun and Dawson rocked his pumpkin outfit.  He is way too cute.....

     Dawson's room is done!  It took three months, but it is finally done!   I love the way it turned out.  He loves it too  :)   I love his name that I made.

    I love this kid  :)

   He looks like a little doll in this pic!  Shhhhh!

 

Pumpkins and parties!

     This weekend was really fun.  On Friday night we went to Logan and had our Halloween party at my Aunt RaNea's house.  It was a blast.  Everyone dressed up and looked awesome!  We ate yummy food, played games and watched a scary movie.
     Jesse and I were old people and Dawson was a tiger!

 Our cute little Tiger!  He didn't sleep much at this party.....he wanted to be a part of it!  Such a good little trooper.

        Now Jesse and I know what we are going to look like in 50 years.  haha!

    I love this party, I look forward to it every year and this year was lots of fun!

                                                           Everyone looked great!
Dawson and Jensen looked so cute.  Jensen was a puppy.  I love that he was sticking his tongue out like a dog!

     
      Then Sunday night we had a pumpkin carving party.  We do this every year as well and it is a blast.  This was Jesse's first time going.  His pumpkin was awesome!  He got 2nd place!  Good Job!

                                           This is Jesse's pumpkin spider!  I think this picture is awesome

       My pumpkin was funny.  To be honest I don't really like carving pumpkins, so mine are always easy!
Kaylee's pumpkin got first place!  Her pumpkin had cool light brights poked in it.  Really cute.  I got 4th place!  (which won me a ring pop!)

 This is Mel's and Barb's.....theirs are always cool

                          It was fun just hanging out!


Than......look what we did!!!!  He hated it, but look how cute it is!

                                                                    Our little pumpkin!!!!


We put Jensen in too.  He liked it, he was smiling!

 

   To say the least......we had too much fun.  :)  I love my fam

Crazy week

   Wow this past week was crazy!  I watched my nanny kids for nine whole days!  The parents were out of town.  Brody and Piper were so fun to be around, I had missed them a lot and I'm excited to be back with them.  They absolutely love Dawson.  They loved holding him.  Brody's favorite thing was to read to him.  So cute!  Piper would sing him songs when he would cry.  They are adorable.
   Our Little pumpkin.......

 

   

    When I put this outfit on Dawson Jesse just said "Oh boy."  hahaha!  I think he thinks I have too much fun with this little guy.
       This next picture is what happens when I leave Jesse and Dawson alone.  I was laughing so hard!

    Than another night I found Jesse upstairs and he had put Dawson in my pillow all wrapped up!

 
    Jesse and I spoke in church today and I really felt the spirit so strong.  Jesse is an amazing man and I'm so grateful to have these two handsome men in my life!
     Ready for church!

    We went up the canyon again and it was so fun to walk around.  It was pretty too.

                                                         Family Picture!!!!

                         It was fun bundling him up!  He wore his sweater for the first time!

I will admit, Jesse and I still both want to push the stroller all the time, so we have to take turns.  It's hard!  Ha!  I know we are silly  :)

Dawson is so funny.  This tiny little bottle is the only bottle he likes!  He won't take any other one!  So Jesse and I have to fill it up lots!  ha!

Our sleeping angel.  

 




                                                               Jesse's mom made Dawson this cute hat! She made him a blue one....but it didn't fit.  He has gotten so big!  We had to steal Ethen's hat!

     Well we got a crib.  I was so excited.....and than I realized he won't sleep by me anymore.  I don't know how I feel about this.....ha!  So .....he hasn't slept in it yet (only naps) and I don't know if he ever will.  Jk, he will....but I don't know when.  :)

                                                            Have a good week!!!!!

Fall

    Fall is here!  That means some of the best things ever!  Pumpkin carving contests, orange everything, beautiful leaves, pumpkin cookies, costumes, hot coco, snuggling, warm jammies, haunted houses and so much more!  Fall is fun for me, it is also hard for me too....it means winter is on it's way.  I hate winter.  I'm convinced that Jesse and I need to move somewhere warm someday.  Maybe he'll give in..... Hawaii sounds nice.  :)  haha!  I don't think that this winter will be as bad this year though, cuz I have a little boy to stay home with and just do fun stuff!
    Anyways this week has been fun.  Jesse, Dawson and I went up the canyon and enjoyed the wonderful fall leaves.  It was so pretty and so much fun to see Jesse carry Dawson around in his little carrier.

                                                                  Dawson's hiding

                                                                         Hoodies!

                                                           We are good at using the self timer!

     This past Monday Dawson went into the doctor for his 2 month check up.  He had his shots.  So sad!  He screamed really good, but only for a second.  When I picked him up he stopped immediately.  He is such a tough little guy.  The hard part was after.  He got a fever and I could tell he wasn't feeling good cuz he wasn't my same little happy monster.  He was fussy and didn't eat well all day and night.  Here is a pic of his sad little band-aid thigh.

     I really love just taking a good afternoon nap with my favorite snuggle buddy.
     Here is a pic of him with the blanket I made in mutual a long time ago.  I hoped I would someday have a baby!  :)

    My mom showed me this poem and now I love it.  It's so true that babies don't keep.  Which makes me sad!  I love my baby.

Mother, O' Mother, come shake out your cloth,

Empty the dustpan, poison the moth.

Hang out the washing, make up the bed,

Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?

She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,

Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.

Dishes are waiting and bills are past due,

Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek - peekaboo.

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew,

And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo.

But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.

Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?

Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,

But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!

I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

                        Enjoying every second of this little guy!

                                                           Dawson loves his bouncer!

                                       my foot next to his....I think he is going to pass me up fast!

      I was having way too much fun and put him in this little basket and he loved it!  He was so funny.  He was smiling and looked soooo relaxed!

 Have a happy day!
