Update

So I keep waiting for things to get less crazy so I can become a good blogger but I realized things will probably always be crazy and that is ok. We are finally moved into our house and getting things put away. It has been a long process and we still have so much to do. The first week we moved in I got the flu and was so sick then Jared got the flu. Also I have been trying to spend as much time with my sister Tana and the baby trying to be helpful and get ready for christmas. So my house is still a work in progress and I hardly helped my sister(she is amazing) but things are good. We love our house and we are so excited for christmas!

Family Pics






We finally got some family pictures they turned out great!

Liams crazy hair





I love Liam's hair it is so thick and grows so fast. It can get a little wild which is so fun but hard to manage. Time for a cut.

His hair cut





Liam did great getting his hair cut mainly becasue he got to sit on a motorcycle and watch a movie. He just got a trim so its is not as crazy still cute and shaggy.

Baby Sawyer





My new nephew Sawyer is such a wonderful addition to our family. Tana and Bronson stayed with us for a few days and it was so much fun! He is three weeks old now and doing great! He is healthy and so beautiful. Here are some pics of him and his gorgeous mom,one with Liam.

Apples are yummy



I left the fridge open while i was putting some groceries away and Liam climbed up and got an apple out of the drawer and started eating it while continuing to stand in the fridge. Eventually I got him out and he finished his apple on the floor. He has never eaten an apple whole but he sure enjoyed it. I wish he would eat veggies like he eats fruit.

Lights at Temple Square





We loved the lights at Temple Square! It has been such a long time since we have gone to look at them. We brought my sister Jillian with us which was fun and Liam went crazy he kept saying "light" "wow" and running around when we let him down. It was freezing but so beautiful and well worth it!

Liam loves to color



Liam is big into coloring and he is getting really good at naming all the colors his favorites are blue and orange but he also knows green, red, and sometimes pink and purple. Here he is coloring in his high chair which I discovered was such a great way to keep marker from showing up all over the house.His favorite thing to color is himself.

Update

I know I am really bad at updating my blog but things have been pretty busy. Every minute Jared had off we went house hunting and finally we found one. A darling little home in Saratoga Springs. We should be closing by the end of November. We can not wait. Also, the same day we found our house we found out that I was pregnant with our second child. We feel so blessed to have so many wonderful things happening to us.

Baby number two due June 11th

Halloween

Liam was a chicken this year for Halloween. He was adorable and he loved it. When we first put his costume on he couldn't stop makng the chicken noise. Jared's family came to our house this year. Grandma Smith took Liam trick or treating at the ward trunk or treat which he really enjoyed then we went to my cousins house for a party. Unfortunately Jared had to work that is why he is not in any of the pictures.

Liam's favorites

Liam grows and changes so quickly so I wanted to post some of his favorite things.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles




Liam is obsessed with anything that has wheels and makes a noise. He gets so excited when he sees any of them. When he sees or hears a plane he says "me" which is his word for plane and points to the sky then makes the plane noise and moves his hand. He also loves when he sees a motorcycle and he is getting really good at saying it.

Swings




When we got to the park all liam wants to do is swing. It brings him pure joy. If we even suggest doing something else or leaving he gives us a look.

Animals



Liam loves animals he can make all the sounds and say many of the names. His recent favorites are the dolphin and the whale. We took him to a little farm at Thanksgiving Point where he actually rode a pony he loved it!

An update with pictures

We got a new camera so now I have new pics on my computer. It has been a great summer so many things have happened. Here is a little recap of what we have been doing since we have been in utah.

Hogle Zoo




We went to Hogle zoo recently. Liam has been to a zoo before but now he knows all the animals and the sounds they make. Liam loved all the animals especially the elephant and the monkeys. He makes the elephant noise by lifting his arm and making a high pitched noise. It was a very fun day at the zoo.

Pharmacist Jared



Jared passed both his tests and is now an official licensed Pharmacist. We are so happy. He works a lot but when he is off he gets to spend all of his time with us. To celebrate Liam and I made him a lovely sign. Liam had a lot of fun with the markers.

Reunions




We had a family reunion in Parowan and in Escalante this summer. We went swimming in Mom and Kev's new pool which liam loved. Also, Liam is obsessed with four wheelers and lawn mowers he could ride them all day.

San Diego





We went to San Diego for the Goldston family reunion (Jared's mom's side). We had a lot of fun. I didn't take very many pictures because Liam was very clingy but we got some good pics at the beach. Liam loved the ocean and playing in the waves just like his mama.
