Fredericksburg, TX

Scott wanted to get out of the house this weekend and drive somewhere fun. We were going to go to the Blue Bell Creamery but they are closed on the weekends. Scott and I LOVE ice cream! So you can imagine our disappointment. :) Anyways, we went to Fredericksburg instead and had a blast. We ran into his sister Heather and her family including her in-laws. I was well worth the drive. Here are some pictures.

My growing boy

I was taking some pictures of Jared the other day and noticed how tall he is getting. Maybe it's because he has no clothes on but in one of the pictures he looks like he's a little toddler! I had to include a picture of his neck roll...he hasn't come by much chubs lately...So I thought I'd show what chub he does have. Last, I have one picture of him with one of his new toys...do you like the "baby house arrest" anklet?! :)

The Night Before Christmas Eve

The Elders Quorum and the Relief Society Presidencies had a little gathering at my house last night, after delivering gifts to some families in our ward. We lad a little visit from Santa (A.K.A. Gramps)also! Here are some pictures of a few of us with Santa.

Someone got a visit from the Hair Fairy!

Look at my poor baby! I think it's time for a hair cut!

A new milestone!

Today Jared hit a new milestone...he can get off the couch all by himself! I was so shocked when he did it. Now he just needs to get up by himself. Sorry, no picture this time. :(

So Silly!

Jared likes when I push him around on his little car/walker. He can be such a ham!

Super Cute "Baby" Ornament

I found the cutest little ornaments for Jared. I thought they were just so classic looking. I think I'm going to engrave like, "Jared's 1st Christmas" or something on the bottom. I bought both because I couldn't decide which one was cuter. The little wheels and the propellers spin also. They are super heavy so watch out, your kid will give you a black eye if you're not careful! Just thought I'd share with all you moms that have a baby boy celebrating his 1st Christmas. They were only $10 each...not bad considering they are such nice quality and from the Pottery Barn.

Lani and Victor

This is a cute little video of two of my sister Nicki's kids.

The Stockings Were Hung!

After going over to Candice's mom's house and seeing her Christmas decorations I couldn't wait to get started. So I Started yesterday and finished today! I Did EVERYTHING myself! Scott better do the lights when we get home form Arkansas.

We just need to find a cute stocking for Jared. I am so excited that we are going to have our first official "family Christmas." It was nice with just Scott and Me, but I have always looked forward to having our own little family (with kids) Christmas. Being married i have found that everyone does Christmas different. I, of coarse feel that the way my family did things was the best. Scott feels the same way about his family traditions. The cool thing is that we now get to create our own little mix 'n match to make it just perfect for us!

Jared and Noah

I took Jared to swing over at Noah's Grandmas. In these pictures Noah's cheesing it up for me and Jared is freaking out that I might leave him. :)

After a late night

Jared fought sleep until 1am this morning! I have no idea where he gets his stubbornness from?! I was doing some dishes and he was in his chair eating, I turned around after like two seconds and he was asleep! I wish I could do that! He gets it from his Daddy.

Mr. Fussy Pants

What a turd!!! I think it's too funny though. He has just started hiding his face when he is upset. I swear, that kid can bend like he just popped out of my belly!

I love to eat, eat, eat...

Jared loves to eat pasta! Especially when it has yummy sauce on it!

Stubborn Boy

Jared has started fighting his naps. In this picture he is asleep. He had been standing and would not lie down. Crazy kid!

Our Halloween 2007

We had fun dressing up this year. I think my boys were a hit! Scott was a little ifey on dressing up until I found this costume. I like to do themes and since Jared's Grandma Melissa had bought his cowboy costume before he was born it made it that much easier for us to decide. Enjoy the pictures!

Cute Song

I was looking at my friend's myspace account and saw this cute little video. This is Natalie's boyfriend talking about his little girl Savanna. Kailey is on the truck in the video...she is Natalie's niece. Anyways I thought this was a cute remix! :)

Reverently Quietly

These pictures were taken at the beginning of this month at a Welfare/Ward Counsel meeting. Scott and I both have to be at these meetings and were unable to find someone to watch Jared. So we took him with us. He did so good. He was getting ready for the prayer in these pictures. Everyone was so impressed! He is such a good little baby...especially when you have Cheerios to bribe him with! :)

Baby Fart

I saw this as I was logging onto my myspace account and thought it was so funny. I was going to email it to some people but thought it would be easier to just keep it on my bolg. Plus its funny and I want to watch it over and over! :)

Sweet Moments

I have often had sweet moments with my little guy like this one. I was looking at the "Willow Tree" figurines(making a Christmas list) and had to get up and calm Jared down from crying. He had been sleeping and woke up crying from what I think was gas, lack of sleep, too much food, and a stuffy nose. I was holding him and was rocking him and thought about this statue. I love holding him like this. i love smelling his little head and giving him countless kisses as I rock him to sleep. I love it even more when he makes little half talk/half moaning sounds. I love being his mommy and can't wait to get this statue to remind me of these precious moments with my little baby boy.

Going on a walk

Jared and I have been taking lots of walks lately. I am determined to get some exercise and thought I would buy a jogging stroller to help encourage me to do it. It has totally worked so far! I have started walking/jogging my entire neighborhood. I start at my house and just follow the sidewalk. We live in an area where there are a lot of culdesacs...I love it. I have always wanted to live at the end of a culdesac because of the slim to none traffic. Anyways, the weather outside has been awesome 50's and 60's! Jared loves it outside and as you can see in this picture, he's got his foot all propped up, just chill'n. I love it! He does this every time about half way through our 2 1/2 mile walk.

He also got a hair cut. This makes it #4. His hair just seems to keep getting lighter and lighter. My mom said that I had light hair when I was little also...I don't think this light though. I'll try to get a better picture of it another time.

Mr. Angry Pants

Jared was super tired today and I tried to put him down for a late nap...yah not successful! I was shocked to see that he was standing up in his crib when I went to get him. This was the first time he has ever done this. He is really trying to start walking. Anyways, I guess we are going to have to move the mattress down a little tonight. And NO, the letters on the wall are not all crooked like they look...it's just the angle of the picture!

J-Rod

Just a few pix of J-Rod. He was balancing on the printer earlier. The other picture is of him looking down the stairs. I love his little hoodie...it is 50degrees outside today! So we got to dress warm!

Little Model

I just had to take a picture of him! He looks like a handsome little model. What a studd muffin!

Jaxon Pacheco

This picture is of Me, Jared, Sarah, and Jaxon. Jaxon was nice and fresh in this picture! He is almost 5 weeks old now. Jared has lots of friends to play with here in Texas!
