Girls Get A Way ( plus the grandkids..)

2010-04-30T22:38:00.001-07:00

So a week ago i went to park City with Montes sisters and mom. it was just a fun get a way for all the girls and grandkids while the dads stayed home and went to work and school! the trip was a lot of fun but reaaaalllly long. I sure missed monte! and his help with the boys!

Heres chance and Cole playing!

We stopped and saw my mother in laws mom on the way home! i havent seen her in like over a year! so it was fun to see her. she had NO IDEA who i was! haha

This was the real Jail where people were thrown in when Park City was a mining city! kinda cool to see it all. and it just so happened that the day we went it was free admissions to the museum! score! :)

and belows cole painting some photo framed for mothers day to give to all the grandmas with a picture of the boys in it. it was one of the many fun activities the hotel did

We also went swimming A LOT it was a half indoor half outdoor pool! cole LOVED it and so did chance.

i sure did have fun but man i was soooooo happy to get home.

and when i got home i walked in the house to a bag of Dove Chocolates a bouquet of flowers and a love note from my sweet hubby! i missed him.

he said the only nice thing about us being gone is the house stayed clean for more then 5 min! hahaha.

Monte graduated in May with an accounting degree and then he will be going back to get a mechanical engineering degree and a ME masters after that! so about 5 more years of school! haha. nows a good time to be in school though right?

Im just staying at home with my boys.. i recently took up running,.. about a month or so ago and can now jog 5 miles. im pretty proud of myself. other then that nothing new is going on with me.. i still love learning new things like recipes.. so if you have any good ones.. let me have them.

Cole is 2 1/2 and somedays man hes a two year old. but luckly there are more happy moments then sad! he loves being a big brother and takes good care of his little brother! hes really into playing with daddy rough housing and building forts and reading books and helping mommy cook.. the list goes on and on! hes always doing something!

Chance in now 4 months old. he weighs about 20 lbs. (WOW BIGGG KID!!) and he has rolled over once but not since then. he in starting to laugh and it just melts my heart! i love it.

we are enjoying the time we have right now between semesters to spend every second with monte since he isnt busy with school or work. love it!

and ill end with a few pictures of the last little while.

( oh and leave a comment so i know people atleast look at it! haha)

2009-07-04T11:17:00.000-07:00

so ive tried to post a few different times but photos would never load!!

well heres some photos of what we've been up to lately!!
Lots of Roaring Springs.. cole is a WATER BOY! he looooves to play in the water!

If you ask cole to smile for you this is what you get.. he LOVES "tracter rides"
at grandpa and grandmas house..
..he also loves to color with chalk!
he loves balloons.. he must have been reallllly tired cuz he fell asleep while blowing his balloon up!
we also went on paddle boats.. cole had so much fun feeding the ducks!! they were really "hungy"

Its a...

2009-04-20T18:27:00.000-07:00

BOY!!!!

Cole first.. well kinda.. Easter

2009-04-16T17:13:00.000-07:00

This is the first year cole was able to go out and get easter eggs. i think he had a ton of fun. like most kids once he saw the candy in them it was hard to motivate him to get more! lol

I also made my first "thanksgiving" dinner with the turkey stuffing and everything. the gravy turned out a little salty cuz i added to much salt to the turkey.. but that was the only thing i thought didnt turn out really well.. and the best part is all the left overs were eaten.. non went to waste!! woo!! haha
just some cute and fun easter glasses we got at the ward easter egg hunt!

This is Cole just being the goof ball he always is!!

just a few pictures!

2009-04-16T16:31:00.000-07:00

Congrats Chelsey on getting married!!
Cole has been obsessed with diapers lately. he wants to put them on EVERY stuffed animal he has..
Since its been so nice we've been down to the river a lot. cole likes filling his truck up with rocks and then throwing them in the river..
Coles also doing amazing going to the "potty" when he needs to go he just tells us POTTY and he hope we make it in time cuz sometimes we dont get much notice. but in the past month or so ive only had to change a handful of diapers. so im really proud of him.. hopefully by the time this new baby is born ( which we find out is a boy or girl on MONDAY!!! )

and just a cute picture of Cole boy

20 months old!!

2009-04-03T13:04:00.001-07:00

I love these block ones.. cole always gets his blocks out then runs into the kitchen and grabs a spoon and hits them down..

What i like about this one is the little lamb that he is holding was monte's comfort animal when he was little.. and now its coles.
also the jacket he's wearing was montes when we was younger.
This one is montes absolute favorite. he thinks its just so funny. "mr. tough guy" right there! haha

Boy does this kid make me happy! :)

thanks Suzie. you did amazing!!

2009-04-02T11:24:00.000-07:00

my friend Abby had this on her blog and i thought it was a really good message.. i know i sure needed to hear it!

so thanks Abby and i hope you all enjoy! :)

okay..

2009-03-13T10:16:00.000-07:00

so i need to get better at this blogging thing! i love reading other peoples blogs but i never put one up for other people to read! lol

everything is healthy with the baby and my pregnancy is going great. i only threw up once and havent been sick for a few weeks.

a few weeks ago i had a couple baby showers right in a row so monte decided to go along with his parents on a picnic.. they went to celebration park.

monte said cole had so much fun climbing throwing rocks and sword fighting (with sticks) with his uncles. cole was OUT on the way home from all the fun he had!

for some reason its not letting me put a space inbetween the pictures..

but the picture with cole in the suit case is from when we were unpacking from sunvalley which is where we went for valentines day. he loved getting in the suitcase and hiding.

we also went bowling.. cole was feeling a little left out so even though monte and i were neck and neck with out scores i let cole go ones. so we went up to the lane and i helped him put the ball a little.. it was clocked at giong 2 mph so it was pretty stinking slow.. but when it got down there it hit 8 outta the 10 balls. hes a natural with balls! lol so even though i let cole bowl ones i still beat monte but ohhh.. 54 points! haha

hope everyones had a good week!

and if you wanna come to Suzie Koskella's baby shower.. let me know!! :)

BIG baby..

2009-03-04T20:30:00.000-08:00

well at my last doctors appt i had an ultrasound and was told me baby is a week and a half bigger then it should be.. and that its very possible ill have another big baby.. so theyll do another ultrasound later like when im 30 ish week and see how big it is then!!

so does anyone wanna change their vote!! haha

such a funny boy

2009-01-29T16:34:00.000-08:00

First off i put two polls on the side id appreciate it if youd vote! haha! :)

so cole has always been a really funny kid. monte and i joke around that we're gonna have a class clown on our hands and hes gonna always get in trouble for talking to much. lately all hes been asking for is "bubbles" meaning he wants to take a bath with a ton of bubbles... in the picture above he dipped his face in the bubbles and then when make all these funny noises and just laugh..
here is coles friend Isak and him both playing in the tub!
lately cole just DOES NOT want to put on his own shoes.. he wants daddys!! so whenever we have to put shoes on we have to make sure we have enough time where he can hurry and play in daddys shoes before he has to put on his!! its soooooooo funny though watching him try to walk in them!!
and since were expecting baby number two we decided that we would put cole in a toddler bed. as you can tell we havent found an actually toddler bed yet.. so its just his mattress on the floor. but cole seems to like it a lot better.
although he wakes up a lot at night my sister told me to just give it time.. and its only been a week or so and he seems to be sleeping through the night and waking up less and less everynight.. i think he likes the idea of being able to get outta bed. so in the middle of the night all of the sudden my door will open and theres a little boy with his teddy and his blanket standing at the bottom of my bed wanting to get up.. but of couse coles not allowed to sleep in our bed, so sometimes its a night full of me constantly walking back and forth between bedrooms putting him back to sleep in his own bed!!
so hopefully by the time the new baby comes he'll be fine.. which im sure he will.. im not worried.
but if you any good tips on getting them to sleep in a toddler bed.. let me know!! :)

just for a good laugh!!

Idiot Number Three of 2008

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, 'Put all your muny in this bag.' While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note t o the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK' and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

2009-01-18T12:28:00.001-08:00

well i found out that im 6 weeks pregnant and due on Sept 11th.

well hopefully i dont make it that far!! lol

2009-01-07T20:41:00.000-08:00

i have a doctor appt in a few weeks to figure out all the details!!!

we're super excited!!

i took this picture to tell my parents. they have a digital photo frame that you upload pictures to it online.. so i took it and sent it over and waited for a phone call.

and then for montes parents we taped a picture of a baby to my tummy and just went over to their house and casually through out the day it was fun as people got home from work and from school to have them see the picture and be like WHAT??
everyone had such good reactions!!

just some cute pictures of our little boy!!

2009-01-06T10:38:00.000-08:00

Daddy and Cole building a fire in my parents backyard!!
my niece gave him the spoon to lick after she made brownies!! :)

No, cole doesnt wear glasses. he was just playing with grandmas and we thought it was cute!!

Polar Express or the North Pole

2008-12-22T13:08:00.000-08:00

So this happened a while ago.. but this last month or so has been so busy for us. all this family coming into town. monte getting done with one more semester of school. and babysitting. and then just the day to day life. but a few weeks ago we took a trip up to HorseShoe bend for montes Summer job's work party. we got on the train and cole seemed to be pretty excited about it. he didnt really know what was going on. when santa started walking around he looked at him like "WHO THE HECK IS THAT??" but he didnt seem scared. untill.. we made him sit on his lap. that didnt work out well. thats why we just decided to take a family picture.
we went on a long ride.. it didnt seem like long cuz we has a blast... but then we stopped at the "North Pole" and we were given cookies and milk ( chocolate or strawberry or just plain) there was a fire and carolers and little houses you could go in.. cole had a lot of fun just playing in the houses pulling the huge candy canes outta the ground and chasing our friends little boy Luke around..

It was a very fun day! and we'd recommend it to everyone.. :)
hope everyone is having a good holiday season and enjoying the snow i know we sure are!! :)

Cole's Blanket

2008-12-02T07:53:00.001-08:00

so this was taken a few weeks ago when we were packing.. i just thought it was SO cute.
I dont know why the pictures uploaded backwards.. but this is the blanket i recently made for cole. now of course it's tied. i had so much fun making this. i love sewing. i need a lot more practice though to be as good as my mother in law and my mom.
How was everyone's thanksgivings???

Twilight

2008-11-26T09:42:00.000-08:00

so i went with my friend Lena last night to go see Twilight.
it was AWEEEESOME!! i LOVED it. i would highly recommend it.
ive heard so many things about it.. how Edward isnt as cute as he is in the book and how it skips a lot.
well i though edward was pretty good looking! and yes they do skip a lot a little details. but I love it..
it def lived up to my expectations!

tell me how you guys liked it!! :)

November so far..

2008-11-20T13:24:00.000-08:00

Introducing SUPER MAN!! okay.. so i was thinking last night how its gonna be fun when cole always wants to put a cape on and "fly around" so i decided to tie a blanket and see how he liked it!! he loved it. i tired taking it off and hes cry. so we has superman in our house all last night..
he even put his hands out behind him and ran ( which he does a lot.. but it looked cool with the cape)
i brought coles trike inside last night cuz i was babysitting for my friend and it was also pretty cold outside.. Aiden started using the trike as a walker..(he cant walk yet) and cole was on top.. so cole got a free ride!! and i didnt even have to bend over and push him. id just turn the trike around and send them off to the other side of the room. back and forth! they both enjoyed doing that! :)
last sunday we decided to make some cinnamon rolls. cole was such a big helper. i gave him his own little bowl and spoon.. and when id add stuff to mine id add some to him. when i added eggs i didnt add any to his though.. instead i added SPRINKLES!! he loved it. it was all colorful!! so needless to say we had a few sprinkles in the cinnamon rolls cuz cole would decide to help me stir mine. we had so much fun.
i grew up doing stuff like this with my mom all the time and i want to give my kids the memories of baking with their mom.. after we make the treat we're making im trying to keep cole the importance of service. soo we eat one ourselves and give the rest away ( which is good or i'd weigh 500 lbs from all the treats we make! haha)
i know that service is such an awesome blessing from not only the people who recieve it but for those who give it. thanks mom for teaching me the importance of service!! i love you!

Family Pictures!!

2008-11-15T14:44:00.001-08:00

So we went at got our pictures taken... im not sure if id ever go back to Sears.. but for the price we paid i was happy with them.
As you can tell cole is holding a ball in almost all of them.. its because he saw the balls they had and WOULD NOT sit still until he was holding one. so the only was to keep him on our lap or a place to take a picture was to have him holding a ball!! but i dont mind.. it shows his character.. he really LOVES balls! lol
and this one captures his "oo" face.. classic.
i have such cute boys in my life!!

(Sorry theyre so small!! )

FINALLY

2008-11-12T13:19:00.000-08:00

Angel Cakes

2008-10-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

So as some of you know i LOOOVE to make cakes..

i was talking to my mom the other day and she told me about this wonderful charity where people can make cakes for kids who wouldnt normally get a cake..
i thought it was an awesome idea.

the only things that are a requirement is that you have to make the cake from scratch..
and if you commit to doing a cake a month you HAVE to make a cake a month. or if you sign up for you.. you need to make two.. and so on!

seems pretty easy!

i just thought id tell everyone about it.. i think its a good way to serve others and it will definatley brighten someones birthday!!

Family Home Evening!

2008-10-28T09:57:00.000-07:00

I love family home evening. seriously if we could have it every night i would.
So yesterday for family home evening we started out with a nice dinner of Roast Beef Mashed Potatoes Gravy and Corn.. YUMMMMYY!!
then we started carving our pumpkins.. the ones ive been wanting to carve ever since we got them.. cole said Oooo a lot.. he loves it. and he loved the feel of the stuff inside!!
after we carved our pumpkins we made ginger bread people, cars, pumpkins, bats, ducks, ghosts and a ton of other stuff... ( my 101 cookie cutters came in handy..) you can see that cole LOOOVED the cookie dough. i remember always asking my mom for the beaters afterwards.. now im the mom giving my son the beater to lick off.. :)
these are the finished products.. monte let me carve the big one while he carved coles little pumpkin that he picked out..
we then put on coles Halloween outfit.. man is it a pain to put it on.. he HATES getting it put on.. but once its on.. he absolutely LOVEEEs it.

i hope everyone had a good weekend!! :)

Cinnamon Rolls

2008-09-15T10:22:00.000-07:00

so i made these cinnamon rolls for the relief society board meeting on sunday and everyone likes them.. so i decided id share the recipe with everyone!!
its my mom's recipe..

Nancy's 30-minute Cinnamon Rolls
31/2 cups warm water
3 Tb. yeast
1 C. Oil
3/4 cup Sugar
Mix together and let sit for 15 min.
then add:
3 eggs
1 Tb Salt
10 1/2 cups of flour

Mix well ( DO NOT let rise ) Divide dough in half. roll out the size of a large cookie sheet. Spread soft butter on top of dough ( about 1/2 cup) Sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar. Makes 12- 2 in. rolls. after they're all rolls out and put on a buttered cookie sheet let them rise while you heat your oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 15-20 min.
top them off with some cream cheese frosting.

so they're pretty easy.. i mean not as easy as popping them out of one of the biscuit things, but they taste SO much better.

ENJOY! any questions.. just ask! :)

Jam!

2008-09-10T15:17:00.000-07:00

Today i was in the mood to make jam. so i ended up making 12 jars of strawberry jam!!
it was a lot of fun to make! and the best thing is i can just freeze it and when i get low on jam i'll just pull one out...
this will last awhile! :)

2008-09-08T06:48:00.000-07:00

Families are FORVER! im so greatful for that... :)

birthday cake!!

2008-09-05T08:41:00.000-07:00

i made this lego cake for Monte's little brother for his birthday!
i love decorating cakes, i guess you could say its one of my new hobbies..
so if anyone needs a cake.. im not a PRO but i will give you a good deal and try my best! :)

hope your all having a wondeful week! :)

I babysit...

2008-09-03T15:15:00.000-07:00

A LOT!!

but i love it. i babysit 3 adorable fun kids. then i have my own handsome little guy!

babysitting is so much fun! i never have more then 3 kids at a time.
Im really glad that im able to, Cole learns how to play with other kids and to share. (we still need to work on that a little bit) but i think with me babysitting so much it will make it an easier transition when we have another baby and i stop babysitting..

HOT HOT HOT!!

2008-09-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

So cole took his first plane ride in August.
we went to Phoenix Arizona to go visit my sister that i havent seen in over a year.

Cole did REALLY well on the plane! he really liked opening and closing the blinds and putting up and down the trey! lol

I really missed my sister so it was REALLY good to see her!!

Here is one of my Niece Serenity and my nephew Brendan.
they had fun meeting cole for the first time!!
It was SUPPPPER hott there. about 120 degrees. so we didnt go outside much! cuz when we went outside it was so hot that it almost made you feel sick!!
thank goodness for AC!! :)

now i just wish i could go to Alaska to visit my other sister!!
someday....

Monte

2008-08-30T08:17:00.001-07:00

Monte is seriously the best dad and husband i could have ever asked for.
He works so hard to provide for Cole and Me.. hes the most patient loving handsome man ive ever met!

I love how he always helps me out around the house.. he always is cleaning the house or making sure cole is fed. Cole loves his dad so much.. we went to meet monte after one of his classes and when the class was getting out everyone but about 5 people we out and cole looked inside the class room and saw monte talking to his teacher and he started running ( or more like walking fast.. lol) with his arms open and just giggling and squealing to monte!! it was SO cute! so monte picked cole up and gave him a huge hug! you could tell they both really missed each other!! for the WHOLE HOUR the were apart! haha.

anyways.. i just wanted to say how lucky i am. and i know everyone says it but its so true that monte fits EVERY single one of the qualities that i wanted growing up!

I LOVE YOU MONTE!!!

Dessert!!

2008-08-30T06:46:00.000-07:00

so the other week i was making a dessert for a dinner we were going to!!
and i decided i'd give cole the cool whip container after i got most of it out..
he LOVED it!!
lets just say he was VERY sticky but made for some cute pictures and a entertained baby!!

Family Reunion

2008-07-29T13:58:00.000-07:00

so a few weeks ago Cole and i went up with my parents to my mom's side's family reunion. we went up to Swan Falls.. up there we stopped on our way to get the famous "square ice cream cones.." which arent really that special its just regular icecream but scooped up with a square scoop.
while we were there we hung out and played games and cole met all of his family! :) they also have an auction where everyone brings up an auction item and the money from it is put towards the cost of the camp ground and food. we earned enough that everyone only had to pay 1$ per person.

we also stopped by the twin falls temple.. it was BEAUTIFUL!!

cole met his great grandma for the second time

my favorite part was when we floated the snake river. Cole LOOOOVED it. i was surprised he did okay in his life jacket. because when we go boating he always seems to HATE it. but i guess he must have just gotten used to it.

thanks mom and papa for the great time! :)

Flash From the Past!!

2008-07-28T07:14:00.001-07:00

My friend posted a picture of her and her husband from a while ago.
and encouraged everyone else to post a picture of them from the past.
so this is monte and i before we were married!!
i have other ones.. but not the time to scan them!:)

enjoy!

so tired.

2008-07-23T06:57:00.001-07:00

Im am so stinkin tired.
Cole has been waking up every few hours at night the last two nights and i would just let him cry it out.. but when i do that he just cries and cries and cries.. and i cant sleep hearing him cry. I think its because he's teething. isnt teething just SO FUN!! so i'm very tired and just want to go back to bed.. but i babysit today! uhh... oh well, hopefully i can get in a nap later on today!!

Memories!!

2008-07-22T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here is a fun little game... leave a comment on our blog of a memory that you and (Monte and I) have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known us for a short time or a long time, anything that you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about us, I'll assume you are playing and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark... get set... blog those memories!

one more. i need to blog more..

2008-07-09T11:02:00.000-07:00

this is at the reception i was laughing so hard cuz micah and cole were like kissing each other..

for the forth of july monte and i started a tradition to have waffles with whip cream fresh strawberries and blueberries. RED WHITE AND BLUE.. so heres a picture of the first time doing it..

Later we went to a HAwks game with monte's work. it was so much fun.. after this picture cole started to push and hit the bird he didnt know what to think about it..

this beginning of this week we made a trip up to visit my grandma in Oregon. she came from France when she was 19 so she has this SUPER deep accent. shes amazing though I love her..

Cont. from the first post..

2008-07-09T10:49:00.001-07:00

Here's at another BBQ we went to.. Cole LOVED playing with the Bunnies. i was afraid they might bite him.. luckly they didnt.

We also went out of town to go visit my sister. here are 3 of 4 of her kids.
i really wish she lived closer. my sister is one of my best friends.

Monte and i love going to the Rose Garden. its sooo pretty and we're lucky enough to have it in walking distance.

Cole and Daddy playing some X box! haha cole loves just sitting there watching and playing with his own controler.. what am i turning my boy into! haha

(Eric RObertson. JOrdan Taylor. Monte Moore)
We also went to one of montes best friends from high school's wedding.
Monte wasnt able to go to the Sealing because of work so i went a lone..
it was really nice to be able to go to a sealing again. the temple is a wonderful place.

2008-07-09T10:29:00.000-07:00

Food Storage

2008-06-09T09:11:00.000-07:00

So lately ive been having this feeling i need to get a food storage here is a really good plan to get one.. you only spend about 5 dollars a week..

Week 1: 61bs. salt
Week 2: 5 cans cream of chicken soup
Week 3: 20 lbs. of sugar
Week 4: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 5: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 6: 6lbs. macaroni
Week 7: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 8: 8 cans tuna
Week 9: 6lbs. yeast
Week 10: 50Ibs.wheat
Week 11: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 12: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 13: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 14: 7 boxes macaroni and cheese
Week 15: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 16: 5 cans cream of chicken soup
Week 17: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins
Week 18: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 19: 5 cans cream mushroom soup
Week 20: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 21: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 22: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 23: 8 cans tuna
Week 24: 6 lbs. shortening
Week 25: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 26: 51bs. honeyWeek 27: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 28: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 29:5 lbs. peanut butter
Week 30: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 31: 7 boxes macaroni and cheese
Week 32: 10 lbs. powdered milk
Week 33: 1 bottle 500 aspirin
Week 34: 5 cans cream of chicken soup
Week 35: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 36: 7 boxes macaroni and cheese
Week 37: 6lbs. salt
Week 38: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 39: 8 cans tomato soup
Week 40: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 41: 5 cans cream chicken soup
Week 42: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 43: 1 bottle 500 multi-vitamins
Week 44: 8 cans tuna
Week 45: 50 lbs. wheat
Week 46: 6lbs. macaroni
Week 47: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 48: 5 cans cream mushroom soup
Week 49: 5 lbs. honey
Week 50: 20 lbs. sugar
Week 51: 8 tomato soup
Week 52: 5 lbs. wheat

Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5.00 (like wheat or milk).
You will end up with:

500 pounds of wheat
180 pounds of sugar
40 pounds of powdered milk
12 pounds of salt
10 pounds of honey
5 pounds peanut butter
45 cans of tomato soup
15 cans of cream of mushroom soup
15 cans of cream of chicken soup
24 cans of tuna
21 boxes of macaroni and cheese
500 aspirin
1000 multi-vitamins
6 pounds of yeast
6 pounds of shortening
12 pounds of macaroni

This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in your family add $5.00 more and double or triple the amount

No daddy!

2008-06-09T07:23:00.000-07:00

I love posting pictures! so sorry if its overwhelming all the photos i post!!
Monte was gone for work last week on Thursday and Friday up in Sun Valley. so cole and i had two full days to ourself.
so we started the two days by going to Olive Garden with my friend and her daughter..

and before Monte left he got me a new camera because mine stopped working.. this is one of the first photos taken with it. Cole has this new thing of scrunching his nose when he gets frustrated for even happy!! he's such a funny boy.
Cole and i then got out some of the pots and a spoon and banged away on them. Cole had a blast.. last time i did this he didnt really know what to do with it.. so a few months later i tried again and he LOOOVED it.
There was also this party BBQ thing at the Zoo. so it made it so i didnt have to make dinner and it gave me something to do! so cole and i went and we rode the carosal.
And we went to look at the penguins.
.. and took a picture with the Maggie Moo cow!!

we had fun but we were really glad when daddy got home last that night. this was my first time being a lone without Monte... i survived but hope to never have to do it again.. at least anytime soon!!

Summer is Finally here!!

2008-05-30T21:05:00.000-07:00

So monte had the day off today so we decided to go boating... i had a ton of fun because i havent done it in a couple years cuz last summer i was pregnant.. here are a few pictures from our day on the lake!

I love Cole & Monte

2008-05-22T17:57:00.000-07:00

I walked in to the Living room to find cole playing with all the Uno cards!! he had a lot of fun!! :)

Cole came into the living room to find me using this foot bathing thing. and he started splashing in the water to i decided i'd give him a try he loved it!!
He's such a cute boy...
... and a very goofy one! :)
But we love him!! :)

Here's another one of our Zoo adventures..

Cole loves to play the piano. hopefully he'll grow up to play the piano like his daddy!
I was babysitting Isak at my parents house one day.. ( they live about a mile apart) and we went outside to help them plant the garden and i put them both in the swing. cole must have been super tired cuz he fell asleep almost instantly.. but isak just sat there content the whole time! :)

At the other grandma's house ( monte parents) there is this cart thing that quickly became coles favorite thing to climb on!!
there were some kids at the play ground of our apartments drawing with chalk and they said we could join them.. so of course i wrote the i love cole and monte!!! cuz i do.. very much!!

its beautiful outside so Cole and i love to go outside and play. this is at our apartment building. the tree by the play ground was soo pretty i want a tree like this when i get a house of my own.. but monte said he'd rather a white one.. so i guess i wont get a pink one.. but atleast hopefully ill get one! :)

Fun at the ZOOOOOO!!!

2008-05-04T22:18:00.001-07:00

Monte bought us a zoo pass and we go alllllll the time. Cole's favorite is the penguins!! :)

Mommy's boy

2008-05-04T22:07:00.000-07:00

Monte is so romantic.. He layed out some of our belts so write i love you for me to find on the bed!! I LOVE YOU TOO MONTE!! :)

Cole is a HUUUUUUGEEE mamma's boy.
but i love it and try to cherish it. because i know there is going to become a time where he doesnt follow me around and climb up on my legs begging me to pick him up!! sometimes it hard to get things done.. but i love him and wouldnt change the way he is for ANYTHING!!

day at the park

2008-05-04T22:02:00.000-07:00

sorry about them all being sideways.. i guess youll have to turn your computer screen sideways to see them!! haha enjoy! :

So while Monte and Neal we're playing some "well needed" Halo Suzie and i decided to go on a walk to the park!! :)

Daddy and Cole

2008-05-04T21:57:00.000-07:00

Saturday the weather was really nice to monte brought Cole out to the play equipment to play!!

Life is GREAT!

2008-05-01T18:57:00.000-07:00

I am so blessed in my life! i have a wonderful husband who would do anything for me.. and a wonderful son who always makes me smile!
The last few days Cole has been sick though and he hasn't been able to keep any food down, which has keep me busy!! lots of laundry!!

Last night i made some potato bread! it surprisingly turned out to be really good. then today i made some banana bread.. i really love cooking. i just wish i had some new cook books! :)

Cole and i LOVE to go on walks. if cole seems a little fussy i just pull out the stroller and he is excited.. we love that the zoo and Boise State and Two parks are right next to our house we live in a very convenient location.

here's a video i took of cole yesterday i thought it was cute!!

Last night was a looooooong night. i have two sick guys at my house!!
im crossing my fingers that i dont get sick!!

crazzzzy

2008-03-24T08:22:00.000-07:00

So all my friends that i went to high school with are now going on missions. its so weird to think that im already old enough that theyre going on missions. but then again i do feel a lot older then i am being a mom and a wife.. which is the best thing in the world.
so this last week ive babysat two kids and then my own. so ive had 3 kids here.. lets just say its been a little crazy.. but its a lot of fun also.

My sister is coming down from Alaska for spring break.. her and her husband are pharmacists up there.. and she has a 4 month old baby that im excited to meet for the first time. so ill put up some pictures after i meet her. :)
well i hope everyone had a wonderful easter and is doing lots of fun stuff for spring break.. :)

Cole's new pictures!

2008-02-29T09:20:00.001-08:00

Mandie Anderson did these photos for me. She's amazing at photography and i think she did really good!
they say 8 months and he's only 7 months.. but thats okay!

update!! :)

2008-02-25T16:55:00.000-08:00

Let me tell you..

MONTE- He's been going to school and working. He's such a hard worker. He never complains about having to work and go to school plus take care of me and Cole. I really admire him! I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have found him and I'm even luckier to be able to spend the rest of ETERNITY with him. families really are forever.. lucky! :)

ME- I've just been busy being a mom. keeping the house clean, entertaining cole and all the stuff that comes with being a wife and mom. Right now i babysit monday - friday from 8 am to noon. its a PERFECT job. she drops her off in the morning and picks her up at noon. She's an adorable 4 month old girl names Sarah. Sometimes its a handful to take care of two babies.. definatley keeps me busy in the morning. no being lazy!

COLE- well about 2 weeks ago Cole weighed 20 lbs 10 oz. hes in the 95th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height! He's such a big boy. I'm thinking that might be the reason that he isnt crawling yet.. cuz he has a lot more to haul around. But hes really close, he can move everyway but forwards!!

Lately we've been hanging out with our friends that recently moved back from utah. I've had a lot of fun becoming better friends with them. it seems like at least once a week we're having dinner with them.
We're also ward missionaries, we love our calling and we're excited to full fill it. so if anyone has a name we can give to the missionaries!! :) tell me! :)

we hope everyone else is having a good week!!

TEMPLE!!! WOOOO!!!

2008-02-16T15:12:00.000-08:00

So monte and i got sealed in the temple about a month ago.. on Jan 26 2008. it was such a wonderful experience and we're so glad that we're sealed as a family now for all time and eternity!! it was a wonderful day!

Jan!!!! :)

2008-01-25T17:02:00.000-08:00

well.. Jan is almost over.. this has been an amazing month.

first of all Cole is almost 6 months old. man does time fly.. you put him on the floor and he's never in the same spot when you come back.. although he cant move forward he moves everyway but that. lol. he just uses his hands and pushes himself backwards.. hes a pretty amazing boy!

another thing that is excited is that tuesday the 22nd. monte and i went to the temple and got our endowments out.. it was the most amazing experience.. i loved it! :)

and theres even more.. lol.

tomorrow monte and i are going to the temple to get sealed. so Cole will be able to come with us this time! cant wait!! :)

snow.. man. it sure has been snowing a lot. i love it! cole and i go out almost everytime it snows.. he doesnt seem to mind the cold.

monte started school this week and so far he loves it.. He enjoys his homework and going to class..

Update!!

2008-01-15T07:42:00.000-08:00

So i decided that Monte and I needed a blog.. so here i am. i made a blog! :)
I'll up date everyone on our lives..
Monte is currently at BSU and majoring in Accounting. Minoring in Economics and is gonna get his Internal Audit Option.. He works during the Summer at Gem Tek Pest Control. He has his own truck this year!! very exciting. ( not for me though.. 14 hour days.. uhhh)
and as for me.. I'm just a stay at home mom. I'm so lucky to be able to stay at home and raise Cole.. I do babysit for a lady in my mom's ward from 8 to 12 Monday - Friday. which i love.. its nice to be able to have some responsibility and bring in a little more dough! lol.
Cole is now 5 months old. Every time we set him down he rolls over.. hes a pro!! and hes really good at sitting up except for the occasional face plant into the floor. which he doesn't seem to like very much.. but who would. :)
