Sweet Ride

Growing up, we weren't a minivan family, an SUV family, we were a station-wagon family.

Picture this beauty in white, and you get my mom's sweet ride she drove until I was in Junior High. I love it. I miss it. I'm sure my mom doesn't.

Brad's Favorite Place

When it comes to restaurants, one of Brad's favorites is Tucanos. We went there a few weeks ago to eat and claimed it was because Stephen was in town and to celebrate Johnny turning 6 months old, but really we'd just use any excuse to eat there. It was lots of fun and of course very delicious. Baby Johnny seemed really excited to be there too, as you can see in the picture. He did get a little sad when Brad told him he was too little to eat the food. He didn't even want to let go when Brad tried to take the menu away from him:

He quickly got over the disappointment and he was all smiles when Dad pulled him onto his lap to play. He's always such a happy baby, we love him so much!

We Love Uncle Stevie

Stephen came to visit us again and we were all so excited to see him. We had lots of fun with him, but somehow I ended up with just one good picture of Stephen and Johnny during the visit.


Thanks for visiting Stevie, and we look forward to seeing you at Christmas!

He's Growing Up

Six months ago we welcomed our sweet baby Johnny into the world. After much anticipation and excitement he decided to make his appearance on May 15 in the afternoon. We checked into the hospital just before noon and, long story short, about 45 minutes later we found out I needed a c-section. Brad took this picture with my phone of himself in his get-up he had to wear in the operating room. He did very well with all of the blood and needles, I was so proud of him. After I woke up from the surgery and asked where the baby was, Brad told me he was in the NICU because he had a few breathing problems. This meant if I wanted to see the baby, I'd have to get up and go to him. It took two nurses to help get me out of bed and into the wheelchair. Man alive, even with pain medi- cation, surgery hurts, that is all I have to say on that. But it was worth it to get to hold our little baby for the first time. We can't believe how much he has grown and changed in just the first six months. He is such a fun little guy and we love him now even more than we did the day he was born.

Go BYU

Brad and Baby Johnny are all ready for the big BYU game today! They looked so cute in their BYU shirts I couldn't resist taking a picture. And Baby Johnny wants to say thanks to Aunt Cori for the hat, he loves it. And I love it because he looks so adorable in it and it keeps him warm.

Seriously?

Sometimes too much of a good thing is really just too much. At many state fairs you can purchase the delicacy pictured above: chocolate-covered bacon. I think it's a bit much, but Brad is pretty excited to discover its existence and can't wait to give it a try!

Too Cute

These two just can't get enough of each other. Whether they're playing together or taking a well-deserved nap, I think they're both adorable.
