THE GHETTO

Ok, so last weekend we went to St. George to visit Shawn's parents. They are living in their motorhome while their house is being built. So we got a hotel- I found a hotel for really cheap, but the pics and reviews seemed ok so we went with it. Oh boy.... the hotel defined THE GHETTO! Since we got there so late friday night, we decided to just sleep there, and we got a new hotel in the morning. MORAL OF THE STORY- sometimes it is worth spending the extra 40 bucks a night. I took pics of this place becuase it was so unreal, and because I can't really describe it! We justed laughed and laughed about it- GOOD TIMES! We are excited for their house to be finished, so we can just stay with them next time! I wish we would of taken more pictures of McCoy and the trip- but Shawn and I both stink at remembering to take them- so we will try to be better!

Christmas

Christmas this year so fun with McCoy- even though he had no idea what was going on, it was still fun to have it be about him! We spent the night at my mom's since Nate and Paige are in town. We stayed at their house all day just hanging out, playing wii, and eating yummy food! I love how relaxed Christmas is for our family- there is no where to go, and nothing to hurry to. It is such a nice day! Santa spoiled Shawn and I with a new mattress, we are still waiting for FED EX to deliver it, but boy do we need it! Our mattress has lost all support and our backs kills us every morning when we wake up! We are so excited for the new one to come- thanks Santa! Life continues to be busy but good, Shawn is working hard, and I am killing myself with an overload of homework (online classes). All of my classes will be finished on Feb 1st- I am going to party when I am done.... anyone can join if they'd like!


Happy New Years to all of you! I hope you all have a great year, with good health and much happiness! I am looking forward to this year- I will have a first b-day with my McCoy... and who knows what else is in store for us??? I'm looking forward to the surprises!

Our really good friend Wayne took our pics this weekend, and I think he did a great job! If anyone is looking for a photographer let me know, he is good!! THANKS WAYNE!!!

6 MONTHS ALREADY!!!!

My baby is 6 months old.... I can't believe how FAST time has flown by!!! I love having him in my life, he is MY LIFE! He is not loving solid foods at all, it is a fight everytime I try to feed him anything but my milk, picky picky picky!

From our little tiny newborn at 7lbs 12 oz, to our now chunky baby at 18 lbs!

We're Moving Back!!!

Let me start by saying jsut how much I LOVE the fall season!!!! It is my absolute favorite and I am loving every minute of it!

So we are moving back to our town house next week, it has been a crazy turn of events but we are grateful and excited to move back. After having a renter for only 2 1/2 months we have decided not to do that again, and just put it up for sale... if you know anyone who is looking- let us know :) Thanks to my mom and dad for letting us stay at there house since august, we appreciate it so much!

Two weeks ago McCoy and I went to Ohio to visit my sis and her lil family, We had so much fun with them and we were busy the whole week doing all sorts of fun things (for a detailed account visit her blog:), thanks for the great time Lloyds! We love you! I very quickly learned that I never want to travel alone with McCoy again, it was very interesting to say the least!

McCoy continues to grow and amaze me everday, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being his mommy! I am so lucky to get to raise him, he is the BIGGEST BLESSING to Shawn and I! He is rolling all over the place, and trying to get his balance to sit. He loves his daddy so much! When Shawn get home from work, McCoy doesn't take his eye off of him, it is so cute! He is the BEST DADDY ever!

Here are some pictures from ohio

sad times... yet were so HAPPY

So today we offically had to say good- bye to the woods cross home :(, things definately are not working out how we had planned, but i know that everything happens for a reason. Wwe will stay at my parents until we figure out what to do next. So even though it made me sad to say bye to the house, I realize that I have every reason to be HAPPY- I have McCoy. He is my light, every time I look at him I feel overcome with happiness! I love him and his daddy so much!~ with them I have EVERYTHING!

McCoy had his 4 month check up this week and he is so big!!! 16.3 lbs, and 26 1/2 inches long!!!!! What happend to my tiny new born?????? He rolled over for the first time a couple weeks ago- and is such a mover! I LOVE LOVE LOVE him!

Here are some randon pics.... some going all the way back to july at San Diego, Bear Lake in August, and some recents snaps :)

Heres to family...

So things have been busy still, and I've fallen way behind on blogging... here is a little 411 on what has been going on..

McCoy is getting so big, he is already 3 1/2 months old. I miss my new born baby, but at the same time I am loving watching him grow and do more things... he know holds his head up pretty good, he is talking lots (I wish I knew what he was saying), and he smiles and giggles all day long! I love him so stinkin much, he makes me smile everytime that i see him, he is EVERYTHING to me! He is really an amazing baby, I am so LUCKY to have him.

Paige and Nate moved back to Ohio last week :(, I already miss spending time with my best friend! I am sad that Emersyn will change so much before I see her again, but I am excited for them to have another year of school out of the way! E.J. is so BEAUTIFUL, she really is a true beauty and her little personality is so fun! It was so fun having them here for the first few months of McCoys life, doing mommy things together with Paige! (Good luck Nate- you're pretty much the man)!

The sellers bank has accepted our offer on the house in Woods Cross, and we will be closing on it in the next couple of weeks- we are living with my parents until then. We are so excited :)

Here are so of our family pictures that were taken last Sunday-
