Long awaited update!

Wow it has been quite awhile since I have posted! I would like to first say what a beautiful day it is! Our family is doing awesome. Since I posted last we have moved in with my parents because Jeff and I both have jobs in Tooele now. We are just waiting for our house in NSL to sell (so if you know anyone who wants to purchase a very cute 3 bedroom home in an amazing location in NSL let me know:)) I am so grateful to have such wonderful parents to stay with so that we don't have to pay rent and our mortgage or commute everyday. Thanks mom and dad! It is so nice to be closer to familay I have really enjoyed it. I love being able to see my grandma's more often and be around for family events... also it is nice to have so many babysitters so close and available!. So many blessings.

Titan is doing great. He just gets cuter and cuter. He pulls himself up on things and crawls on everything he can reach. He is getting very brave and walking down the banister. I am afraid he is going to be walking on his own pretty soon and then Iwill really have to watch out! He is so fast! He loves to EAT..... as long as it is grown up food and not his baby food. It is so cute how he gums everything. So far he doesn't have any teeth but he would really like some. The other day my grandma was holding him and eating some pizza and he just reached up and grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth. We were all laughing so much. The down side is he also puts nasty things in his mouth... like a handful of dirt and rocks.... luckily he threw that up on his own in about 30 seconds. So much learning I pray I can keep up.

Lastly we had 2 new additions to our family ...... 2 black lab puppies. A boy and a girl. There names are Tiger and Lily. They are outside only dogs thank goodness. I really don't think I could handle three babies! We are enjoying spending time with them outside and Jeff is doing a great job training them. Titan loves them, if I put him on the grass he pats his legs to call them to him. They are always attempting to kiss his face (which I personally think is gross) but he just laughs. Oh the little things that bring such joy!

Love and light to all, may peace and joy encompass you! We are going camping this weekend when we get back I will post some pictures.

Well it has been awhile since I have posted! How time flies! Titan is 6 months old now. I can't believe how fast it has gone. He can roll over both directions, although he much better at rolling from his back to his stomach. He can sit up on his own for about a minute.... and he is pretty proud of himself when he does that! He is making lots of new noises, he is a jabber box and I love listening to him. He is starting to eat baby food and rice cereal more now. So far squash and pears seem to be his favorites. I have learned that carrots stain faces! Anyways, we are all doing great. We are going to be putting our house up for sale soon so that we can move closer to family. I am really looking forward to that and am putting it out there that we will find the perfect people to buy our home... and that it will happen quickly:) A friend came and took these pics. I loved all of them so I had to post them all. Thanks Britt! He is such a drooler~




hehe... I love this face. Isn't he thrilled to be getting another picture?
Titan loves to grab his toes! I have a really funny picture of him sucking on one foot, I will post it next time.
What can I say he is so handsome!
I am so blessed to have such a happy, smiley, content, adorable, cuddly, amazing ..... and the list goes on and on son!

3rd Anniversary!

Jeff and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary this week. I can't believe it has been three years already. To celebrate Titan had his first sleepover at Grammy Ronda's and Jeff and I had a night on the town. (okay we only stayed out until 9:30 so I was feeling pretty lame but I couldn't pass up prime sleeping time now could I?) We did go to Rodizio Grill for dinner it was really yummy. Thanks babe for an amazing 3 years. You are the best!

Things we LOVE.......

Relaxing with daddy!
Avoiding smiling whenever mom gets out the camera!
Standing up... He thinks he is such a big boy!

This toy that great grandma Viv gave him for Christmas.
Jeff is such a great dad. He puts Titan in this carrier and lugs him around while he assists me with house work. Titan loves being with his dad... and sucking on it. He drools so much lately!

This is a toy cow that TJ loves to eat. He also enjoys talking to it. It is so cute to hear all the new baby words/ sounds he makes. I love listening to him, especially when he doesn't know I am.
He also really likes to watch TV... I know not the greatest habit to get in but it really keeps him entertained. He can care less about his toys if the TV is on.
This bumpo was the greatest invention. He loves to sit up. I could only find a pink one... so he is getting in touch with his feminine side early.

Owies!

It was the saddest thing today I took Titan to his four month checkup and he had to get 5 immunizations. I hate that. I am grateful that they will assist him in staying healthy but I feel heartbroken when he has to get pokies! At his 2 month shots he did okay but today he has been way miserable. Not only did they hurt his legs but he gave me this look like why are you letting this lady hurt me... he is so sensitive and that nurse hurt his feelings. I gave him tylenol before just like last time but everytime he moves his little legs he cries.... and even when he is still he just keeps whimpering. It is so sad. So Titan and mom were crying on the couch when Jeff got home today! We put him in his tub with warm water and that really seemed to help him feel better. Jeff moved his legs around after they were warmed up to loosen them up. He is such a great dad.... I think I will have him take Titan for his next set of shots! The boys are both napping on the couch now, all that crying was pretty tiring. I think I should go join them. Any suggestions for reliefing owies from shots?

The GREAT news!

So back in August Jeff received orders to get deployed with the Army Reserve on March 29th. For the past 6 months he has been going through the exemption process and we finally found out this week that he is receiving his exemption and getting discharged from the Army. We are so excited! It is such a relief to know that he will be staying home with us and that Titan will get know his dad. We feel such a deep gratitude to God and to the Universe. We are also grateful for all those men and women who serve our country. So thank you everyone for all your prayers and support. We went to dinner with some of Jeffs family the night we found out to celebrate. Here is a pic Jeff is so excited he can't even keep his eyes open:)

Christmas at the Cabin

Well Christmas had come and gone.... and it went by way to fast! We had such a great holiday, even though Jeff had to work on Christmas. It was really nice to be with family. We did most of our family things on Christmas Eve and then after Jeff got off work on Christmas day we went up to the cabin for the weekend. It was snowing like crazy on the way up. It was almost impossible to see the road. When we got there we had to snowmobile from the parking lot up to the cabin... in the dark. I have never been so glad that my parents have a ranger because it made it a lot easier getting the baby up there and all the stuff babies require. Titan slept through the whole ride up the canyon and he even slept through his first ride in the ranger. I knew he was a good sleeper but that was pretty astonishing. Kellie spent one day with me, my mom, and Titan while the boys all went snowmobiling. It was fun to spend some time together. Diesel even came up. He was so funny with Titan. Kellie was holding Titan and he started to get a little fussy. Diesel was concerned about why the baby was making so much noise... and why his mom was holding the baby in the first place and out of nowhere he licks Titans ear! I thought Titan would have cried harder but he got this huge smile and started laughing. It was a treasured moment for sure. I didn't get a pic of him laughing but here is Diesel protecting him and keeping close to his mom.

Happy Birthday Jeff !

Well it was Jeff's Birthday this week and Titan got blessed this past weekend so we had a family get together afterward to celebrate both. My mom got this cake made for Jeff. It was enormous but I thought it was really cute and I think Jeff really liked it. I will post a picture of Titan in his blessing outfit when I get it from my mom. It was so cute it was an off-white colored tuxedo with tails! So cute on him. It even had a little cumber bun. It was fun to see the family. Thanks everyone for all of your love and support. And since it was Jeff's Birthday I thought I would take the opportunity to let him know how amazing he is. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or dad for Titan. Thanks honey for everything you do for me. You always make me smile! Happy Birthday!
