Scott is getting bigger.

Here are a few cute pictures I took of Scott just after he got back home from Peru.

This is the only one I could get of him smiling.

He's contemplating something.

He's looking at me intently.

Whoa, don't lose balance and fall over!

He's just sitting there on the bed.

I'm so glad that both Eva and Scott made it back safely after their trip to Peru.  Next time, I'll be going with them.

House is clean

I decided to clean the carpets today, seeing as I have the house to myself at the moment with Eva and Scott being gone.  I figured it would be perfect.  I moved all the furniture from off the carpets, so I could vacuum and shampoo the carpets.  It took a couple hours, but looks and smells nice.

Utah State Fair

We went to the Utah State Fair not too long ago, and Scott had a fun time. We had a lot of fun with him too.

Here Scott is with me in front of a display for QuicknBrite. He loves to smile for the camera

Look how big he is, as he is standing on the counter.

Here we are by the cows.

Scott wasn't sure that the sheep were that interesting.

Pigs!

We went to a hilarious comedy hypnotist show. The guy had the volunteers doing things like being world famous body builders, dancing, rock stars, and other funny things. I really laughed at the show.

We didn't get to the show in time to get good seats, and since I was pushing Scott in the stroller, I told Eva to go get seated and enjoy the show, and I would stay by the stroller and watch from the side. Eva really liked the show too. Scott didn't like it all too much, because the cheering during the "body builder contest" woke him up and startled him. I calmed him down, and he was able to keep enjoying his first trip to the State Fair.

When we finished, we stopped by Tali's house to say hi to her and her daughters. They were quite excited to see and hold Scott.

It was quite fun going to the fair. We've gone there a couple of times now, and will likely go again another time when the fair is in town.

Let's switch up the lighting in the kitchen

We got sick and tired of the lighting in our kitchen, so a couple weekends ago, we took it down. We went down to Lowe's to pick out a light. The one we went looking for turned out to be something we didn't want in our home once we saw it, so we picked out something better.

Here I am taking down the old light fixture.

Fortunately, I found the electrical box to be in the correct place for the new light.

Here's what our new kitchen lighting looks like. We really like the mood change it brings to our room, and the increased light.

Family Picture time

We hadn't had some family pictures taken since Elena was born, Michael came back from his mission, got married, and when Scott was born, so we decided to take advantage of the good weather this past weekend to take our picture.

Labor Day Fun at the Lake

I'm trying to catch up on some posting. We had some fun swimming and riding jetskis and having a bbq.


Here's Eva, Scott, and Eva's mom


Cooking the food.


Here we are eating our lunch.

Here I am playing with Scott

Scott is so cute.

4 months and Getting Big

Scott is growing so fast!!! We went to his 4 month appointment and he is a healthy boy! He weights 16.4 lbs and he's 26 inches tall! I love seeing how he's learning lots of new things! A few things he's learned the last couple of weeks are:

He found his hands!! He plays with them all the time!

Also his feet! Look how instead of reaching for the toy with his hands, he reaches with his feet!

He really likes his hands! He chews on them all the time. Greg thinks he's started teething.

He really plays good. He loves the bumbo and plays with his toys really well. He will even reach for his toy when he drops it!

He really is starting to "talk" more. Here he is playing with his uncle Christopher.

Then after he's done playing he just falls asleep :)

I love this little guy to pieces!! I love seeing him grow and spending all my time with him!
