Baine.........6 months

Kelsey wanted some six month pictures of Baine and so we decided to take some with my new camera. I think we did okay for extreme amateurs. These are some of my favorites. We really wanted to get some documentation of his fat rolls and his cute dimple.




Baine can go from happy to full out scream in 0.2 seconds!






Incredible Evening!


This is our niece, Lindsay Tarbet. She is seventeen years old and she performed with the Salt Lake Symphony last Saturday night. We were able to attend and I must say that it was very enjoyable!! What talent! There is a video recording of her on face book but I couldn't figure out how to download the link so if you want to watch it, go to face book and to my wall and you can find her there. We are so very proud of her and especially happy that we could share the experience with her and her proud parents and siblings. Great job Lindsay! We love you!

Finally!

The Big Mess!

That's right, I am finally getting my Christmas decorations put away. Today was the day. Only one other year in my married life have I left my decorations out sooo long, but that year I really enjoyed them and I wanted to keep them up for a while. Not so this year. I am sick to death of them! I honestly haven't had time to put them away until today. It took me all day and my back is really sore/tired from standing on my head all day while bending over but everything is packed up and put away. It feels really good! I sometimes wonder if I would be happier to simplify more and get rid of a bunch of my decorations. I gave some away to my girls but I still have the more time consuming stuff. A few years ago my mother gave away a lot of her really nice decorations and I thought she would regret it but I don't think she has. Now I am wondering if I should do the same. It takes me two days of hard work to get everything put up and in place. I love it once it's up but at the same time, I was really dreading putting it all away because of the work. The biggest part is the trees and the village. Maybe I should just get rid of some trees and the village. I guess I'll see how I feel about it next year.

A little this and that

Kelsey and Brady went to the last Bronco game this last week and we helped keep Baine for them. He's a really good baby and it was fun to get to know him a little better one on one. I think that Brady is really becoming a "huge" Bronco fan since he brought Baine a Tim Tebow jersey home.

Here are a few pics I took with the kids during the weekend Baine was here. I wanted to get one picture with all of them in it but Brynly was at her other cousins house.

Grandpa was giving Molly and Jaxon rides on his back. The picture was blurry because Molly was in mid air. We took her shirt off so she didn't get dirty while eating.
Baine and Bo had the same PJ's on so I had to get a picture of them together.

He is really a sweet little boy.
