Some updates

Micah has two teeth now. His first came in about 4 weeks ago and the second came in 2 weeks behind it. He enjoys running his tongue over them.


Micah has become very strong. He has been working on crawling for the last 4 weeks and has begun to climb up on things. Here he is in his crib pulling up on the railing...as you can see he is very proud of himself.

Micah and I had Quiznos Sub for dinner and Micah Jr had crawled over to the bag and picked soft left over lettuce out and stuck it in his mouth. He thought it was pretty funny.

After I get out of school I take Micah and my little sister Faith to Wanaka Lake to get some exercise. We stop at the park and play around. He enjoyed the swing. Such a little cutie!

Hands in the toys

I caught Micah playing with a basket of toys, he just loves to reach in and grab what ever he can, play with it for a couple of seconds, toss it and go in for more.


When ever I take his pictures he looks up and gives me a grin. This one looks as if he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.



But he is always willing to share! What a fun little tyke.

How I Love My Husband

For my Valentines Day post I have decided to list ways in which I show how I love my Husband. Instead of the whys, which are endless, I wanted to focus on the ways it is shown, for this is truly how love is communicated. How do I demonstrate, how do I reveal my love for him?

By thinking the best of Him.

By assuming the good and doubting the bad

By rubbing his back when he asks and doesn't ask

By listening to his views and ideas

By letting go of the small things that may irritate (does it really matter?)

By kissing him

and many more.

The prophets have told us that True love "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things" 1 Corinthians 13:7

I hope to always love Micah the way he deserves and that we may continue to build our relationship on principles the Lord has given us. He has led the way and his ways are higher than our own.

I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful husband who strives to give me all that he has to offer and more. Not a day goes by that I don't look at him and thank my Heavenly Father for putting him in my life.

GO CU!

Thanks to Melanie, Micah has a wonderful CU Buffs suit that he finally got to wear. Micah Sr. graduated from CU back in 2004--So of course we had to take pictures of our little CU Buff fan and post them. He is our little cutie. GO CU!

Thanks Aunt Stacy!

Aunt Stacy sent wonderful gifts that we received yesterday. Micah is wearing the onesie that has a blue apple in the center with "Apple of my eye" written across it. He also received a taggie blanket that he has been holding on to and of course eating. He, as you can see, is very happy with his new things. Thanks Aunt Stacy!

Micah and his Couch

Micah checking out his book.


Micah loves to take all of his toys out of the basket and place them in his couch.


For Christmas Micah received a Pooh Bear couch that folds out from his Aunt Daphne, Erin and Faith. He sits in it all the time and loves to play with all of his toys while watching everyone and everything around him.

It was early Christmas morning and as Micah Jr.'s parents were sleeping he was wide awake with anticipation of the days events!
