3 Months

I can't believe our little boy is already 3 months! I probably say that every month, but seriously time has gone by soooo fast. He's getting so big. Apparently not to the doctors though. He said they like to see a few more rolls on him. Right now he's 23 inches long and 11lbs. 6oz. He is changing so much. We are still loving all his many faces. I can sit there and take pictures and in almost everyone there's a different look. I've had fun looking at older pictures and seeing how much he's changed

He is becoming much more vocal, especially at bed time. He is a great sleeper, but for some reason he doesn't like going to sleep. Some nights he'll go down just fine,but for most nights, he likes to put up a fight. But I guess I can't complain cause he's sleeping from about 8:30 to 6:00 for me already. Then he'll go back down around 6:15 and sleep till 8:00. There's a night here and there where he'll wake up at 4, but for the most part he's sleeping through the night.

He loves to play on the floor. Especially with his little friend, the frog. Todd lowered him last night and Everett started grabbing him. We've been trying to teach him how to grab things, but he'll always clench his fist, but not last night. It was pretty exciting. He's even starting to begin rolling. He's not quite there, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it soon. This little boy is a kicker. Constantly moving non stop. Most of our pictures are blurry cause he wont stop.

A lot of Everett's day is spent in his carseat, if he's not on the floor. He's in it to and from work, and then while at work he plays in it. I was walking back from the kitchen one day and saw the car seat moving, he was kicking so hard that he was rocking it back and forth.

This boy LOVES to be naked. One night he was crying and crying. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried everything,but when I went to change his diaper I just took his onesie off. Well low and behold he stopped crying. He spent an hour playing on the couch like that. I thought he was cold, but if I dare wrapped him in, or even put on him, a blanket he'd start crying again. So now just before we go give him a bath he gets a little naked time.

Along with everything else Everet loves his bath time. We use to have a little net thing in the tub and he'd just lounge and hang out. Well, we finally took the net out and he has sooooo much fun. He kicks and talks. It's pretty entertaining to watch him. There's a little hump at the bottom that makes he so he can't really slide down. Well, since he's constantly moving and sliding the hump sometimes doesn't always work for him. Pretty soon we'll probably have to move him to the regular tub!

We can't get enough of Everett. He brings so many laughs and smiles to our faces everyday. He brightens my day every time I look at him. He'll just start smiling. If I'm ever frustrated that's all he has to do and I cave into him. I'm pretty sure he knows that already too. He's getting so talkative and his personality is starting to really come out. Each day is a new and fun adventure!

Trip to Provo

For the Halloween weekend we headed down to Provo to spend some time with our good friends the Bates. We had a blast to say the least! We left that Friday, and Everett was great in the car. Both ways.

Friday night we went out to dinner with some of my old friends from home, Todd's brother Troy, and the Bates. Then we went and hung out with Alma and Jessica. It felt like old times. They use to be our neighbors and we'd usually find ourselves sitting out on the balcony till way late just talking. I miss it, and that weekend made me miss it even more. I don't think we left their place till close to midnight and Todd and I haven't stayed up that late for quite some time!

Saturday morning we went and had breakfast at the Bates. They made us some pretty tasty crepes. We had fun trying out how each of them usually make theirs. Then we hung out for awhile and just talked. Well, Alma and Todd ended up playing computer games, while Jessica and I talked!

That afternoon we headed out for our Halloween festivities. We first went and enjoyed some Del Taco. I have to say it is way better than Taco Bell. Anyway, along with out tacos we had a Strawberry Cheesecake Dipped Apple. MMmm... So good. Then we went and worked it all off! Alma and Jessica took us to this place called Jump On It. They have a ton of tramps through out the whole building. Todd realized he is getting older. I saw him jump from tamp to tramp and then all of sudden he fell over. Later he said he back started hurting and gave out. So he watched Everett for awhile, while I took my turn. We had a pretty good time.

After our time was up at Jump On It, we headed up to Midvale to visit Todd's friend Dave and his family. Their ward was putting on a trunk or treat so we took Kaitlyn and Everett and dressed them up. Kaitlyn was a little angel and a pretty cute one. We dressed Everett up in his little bear outfit.

Then we headed off to Chipotle. Chipotle was on a list to do all day. Todd loves Chipotle and any time he has a chance to eat there we do. Well, this night was a different night. On Halloween if you dress yourself up as a burrito you get a free one. Everyone was going to do it except for me. So the boys went and got tin foil and they started covering themselves. We later found out that all you had to do was wrap a piece around your waist and you were pretty much covered. There was another group that had a ton of tin foil so they let Shelly, Jessica, and I use some. We went in and with just a piece of tin foil around our waist we got our free burritos. The boys were pretty decked out though! I wish I had gotten some kind of picture, but unfortunately didn't. We ended our night playing some games and just having fun hangin out.

Sunday we had plans set to go back and see Alma and Jessica before left, but our morning didn't start quite as planned. When Todd went out to start loading the car he found that we had been booted. Apparently we didn't park in a visitor parking space, but we later found out that even if we had we still would have been booted. We were staying at a friends condo and apparently you can't park there after 1 am on Friday. Weird I know. So we decided to just head out.

Despite the damper of being booted we had a really fun weekend. We wish Alma and Jessica, and all our other neighbors that left, still lived by us. We had some pretty good times. But at least we're close enough now that we can still go visit each other!

Pumpkins

Well, I finally found a place to take some cute pictures. It wasn't a pumpkin patch, but it worked. Some friends of ours told of us a place they go so I thought I'd check it out. It ended up just being someone's house. They bring some pumpkins up from their field to sell and then they had some cute displays. Worked for me!

My parents bought Everett some Halloween onsies while they were here. Then a few weeks ago they sent up a package with a beanie and some socks. So I put his outfit together and we headed out. He did pretty well, except the sun kept shinning in his eyes. I think the pictures turned out pretty good. We still don't have a great picture of all us, but oh well. Maybe while we're in Denver over Thanksgiving we'll get something done there. Who knows....
