Ezra and the kitty...

We have become cat people against our will. I never in a million years thought that i would feel the need to take care of a cat. I am what you call a "dog person"... I am a loyal dog fan and not the greatest lover of cats ( as my in laws have come to learn) Well when we bought our home we inherited a black kitty that the previous owners had been feeding. I felt bad for the poor thing and decided that we should continue feeding her so that she wouldn't die. When we first moved in the cat wouldn't let anyone touch her, now the frequent scene out my window is Ezra carrying her upside down or by her neck... and she still wants to play with him and snuggle up to him!
My mom thinks it's really funny to say things like " now that you are a cat owner..." or " what is your cat's name?" Ugh- That damn cat has even suckered me into making a bed for her that she won't freeze to death this winter. By the way her name is sal.


For the record we are not cat owners... we just feed a stray cat, let her sleep on our porch and play with our children.

Moving day

I haven't posted in a long while because.... moving sucks and with kids it really takes longer than you expect. We all love our new home ( especially ezra!) We have almost everything unpacked and are anxious to get it all decorated cute. Here is ezra driving the moving van. He freaked out when dad and the big truck pulled up.
Everyone that was there.
Eli was pooped out from all the hard work he was doing.

6 months( In the cute shirt granny pam gave him)

This is two weeks overdue but my baby Eli is 6 MONTHS! It is going by way to fast this time. I really love the newborn stage where babies are just helpless and cuddly but from about 4 months on are the best. Eli loves to play with his big brother Ezra and watch him, he thinks Ezra is the funniest person alive. He really enjoys bugging Ezra too, James and I laugh because they will be playing on the floor and Eli will ruin Ezra's perfectly lined up cars and laugh, Ezra gets so mad!

Eli started crawling a few weeks ago and let me tell you it is a nightmare. He follows Ezra around and wants to play with all of Ezra's toys ( with lots of small parts babies should not play with) Eli is a one happy, fun , handsome and charming kiddo. Now if he could only work on the waking at 5:00 to nurse thing....

Sesame Street - Baa Baa Bamba

Here is the original version. Check out the gross cat.

Ezra the rock star

Ezra loves to watch this sesame street video were Luis plays the guitar and sings with a bunch of animals. Ezra picked up the guitar and started singing it one day.

Our new house! (hopefully)

We finally took the plunge and bought a house! This is it... well we are waiting to close but hopefully all will go well and we can move in next month. The home is in kaysville, the owner was a horticulture major so it has an awesome yard ( with a big tree and pergola!) Hopefully we can decorate it as cute as they did. We are really excited, and the best part is we will live 2 blocks away from my uncle mark and aunt vickie.
