Fall is in the air!

Thayne and I usually go for a walk a couple times a week, I have to say fall is in the air! The time of year to get bundled up!!
Tons of toys, and Thayne plays with the toy box......of course!! Isn't that the way it goes, he also loves a week old birthday balloon from Grandma Jill's birthday and an empty puff container!

Chillin' in the wagon!

Cody took this picture!! That's all I have to say about that!
Thayne loves cartoons....already!

Man.....time sure does fly by! My sis brought it to my attention I haven't posted anything for about two months!! It feels like it has been a really busy summer, but I don't know what I've really done! My sister Tiffany and her family are now home from Alaska!! We are excited about that! I've been so engrossed in politics lately....I had to watch the Democratic National Convention and now I'm trying to watch all of the Republican National Convention that I can!

This past weekend we went to the annual Putman/Mills family reunion.....I have to say I'm pretty much a sissy!! Cody was so excited to camp with Thayne and sleep in a tent! Well we went to bed, Thayne and I in a sleeping bag together and Cody in another. They both zonked out, but me....my back hurt on the hard ground and I was cold and I couldn't sleep and they were singing so loud around the fire and...O.K. I'll stop! Needless to say, we packed up at 10:30 p.m. and drove 2 hours back home! I was thinking about the pioneers the whole time and how tough they were and how I would have never had made it! Sorry to everyone for dogging out!

I just have to say I love this time of year and I love the smell of fall!

6 Months Old!!

Thayne

I can't believe Thayne is already six months old....it seems like yesterday we had a sweet new baby! He is getting such a cute personality!! When he smiles he uses his whole mouth!! He is so fun and we love that he is part of our family! My sis Tina did these awesome pictures!! There are more on her photo blog if you can't get enough!! ( There is a link under our family picture!) If anyone needs pictures......she's the one to call!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake a couple weekends ago for a Wickham side reunion....

it was fun to see everyone!!

Thayne and Grandpa Redmon....Big shoes to fill (in this case hat)!

Cody was feeding Thayne some yummy green beans......yuck!! Thayne has this new thing were he shakes his head "yes"......He was wildly shaking yes, Cody wasn't paying attention and Thayne got a mouth full on the forehead! (Nice facial?!?)

Not much has been happening here!! Cody is really busy with work and trying to fit in a horse ride here and there. I'm trying to take and online class, but haven't made it too far! I also need to get health insurance ASAP, anyone have any suggestions on who to go with?? This weekend Tina and Ava came up and we went up High Creek and made tin foil dinners...they turned out really good!

Thayne and Ava hang en out!

Cody can get Thayne to laugh so hard! He has two cute dimples in his chin when he smiles:)

So engaged in the conversation!


So after the trip to the mountains.....Ava and Thayne needed a bath! First time for both in the big bathtub!!

All clean and ready for bed!!

First hair-cut! Kind of jagged around the ears! Oh well a new style of side burns!?!

We went home this weekend to visit my parents;my brother Todd thought of a few more of my dads famous "one liners"! I was pondering and had a thought to write down memories of my parents so I can always go back and read them in case I forget them. So I'm adding more of my dads one liners to the previous list on the fathers day blog.

"My heck"
"It takes a chicken and a half to lay an egg and a half in a day and a half"
"You think you know so much"
"Bloated up tighter than tight"
"Get your butt behind you"
"How long are you gonig to milk that?....Whats all that white stuff?"
"Why....would you do that??" (This usually is said to my mom! One example....Tim Kelly witnessed this one, everyone was sitting in the family room watching T.V. when the phone rings....my mom answers and its for my dad. Well my dad is watching T.V. and dosen't hear my mom tell him the phone is for him. She says "Hi ya" and throws the phone at my dad. Before he knows what is going on it hits him in the side of the face!! Then he says"Why would you do that??"

I'm ready for food!

Thayne is almost 6 months old!! I can't believe it!! Cody thinks it's time for another one! He found out he loves new babies. Two weeks ago, Thayne got his shots and was fussy for a couple days; I thought it was from the shots but no....he got his first tooth on bottom. Then yesterday I feeling his tooth and found another one! He now has both bottom teeth.....he hasn't bit me yet:)

His first experience eating rice cereal!! More on him than in his mouth!
Too busy watching TV to eat! And I think he likes chewing on the spoon more than the cereal, cause it feels good to the teeth!
Man I better cut back a little......my belly almost doesn't fit in the chair!
I love his big brown eyes!!
