What the old pictures?

So my dad left us his old laptop and a while back I found all of these old pictures from high school and my freshmen year of college. I'm so glad I had some on here seeing as how I lost all of mine when my laptop was stolen my soph. year of college :( So I just thought I'd share a few so we can all have some good laughs.
Warning: 85% are of me, Steph and Kelli, my 2 best friends.

Steph and I in ASB senior year. We just so happened to wear the same shirt that day.

This was taken right after we won USA Nationals in Aneheim.

Cheer banquet

This was spring break senior year. My parents took all of my best friends to Hawaii for the week.





Next is my sister's graduation from BYU and senior prom with my best friend Keith.


This is my mom's long hair chihuahua, Baby. He's getting his cheer on.

These are from when my dear, sweet, grandpa flew me and 3 of my cousins out to New York for a few days. Yes, I know, we all look so- much alike :)



And lastly, my freshmen year of college. Taken with my cousin, Katie, and best friends, Steph and Kelli.





And don't worry, those are virgin margaritas of course, made with Sprite :)

Check it out

It's very slowly getting there. I feel dumb trying to get the word out about my food blog but if no one looks at it, then I don't really want to put my very limited free time into it yeah know? So check it out. Feel free to comment, say hello, pass the word, do whatevs.

So Big!

Why do babies grow so fast? Time really does fly by, especially when you have kids. It's still hard for me to believe that in just 2 more weeks our little guy will be half a year. That's just insane to me. And Bbcause he's growing up so fast, I had to document a couple of things that he's done this past week.

I think it's officially okay to say that he no longer fits in his bath laying down...

So we decided that it's time for him to sit up in his bath, because he can now :)
Look how proud he is of himself! So big!

And something not so new...but I just had to get a picture of all those rolls!

And lastly, he had his second taste of solid foods today. It was organic sweet potatoes again. And he's still a little unsure about it, but it was so sweet to see his daddy feeding him. It was a great bonding moment.

And to end...

this picture just melted my heart. I love it. I love my husband. I love my son. I love my family. I'm just so blessed!
Goodnight!

Baby boy is 5 months

5 months...holy cow! I can't believe he'll be 6 months the end of this month. I know people say time really flies once you have kids and it's so true. It seriously flies by.

At 5 months Mr. E has become my favorite little buddy. I'll admit it, the first 4 months of his life were incredibly challenging, exhausting and dare I say, almost un-enjoyable. But now that he is "growing up," I'm finding myself loving being a mom more than anything else. He's so happy (most of the time), funny, cute, love able, smiley, laughy, cute, cute, cute and cute all the time. Some of his favorite things are to kick me really hard, be tickled, get bathed, watch Yo Gabba Gabba!, squeal like a little girl, laugh, smile, fart, roll from side to side, suck on his toes and hands, and be a complete mama's boy.

I've managed to take a few video clips of him being a little cutie pie, and being super lazy, and not listening to me when I tell him to roll over for the camera :)

Don't be fooled by him not listening to me, he does roll now. It's his new thing, he just really started doing it on his own last week, so it's kind of still a big deal to us :) And of course, as soon as I start to video him, he doesn't do it...go figure. Oh well, he's still dang cute.

Next, we decided to introduce "solid" food. For the past month he's seemed incredibly interested in what we've been eating. He always mimics us while we ate and I always feel so bad eating in front of him because it looks like he wants to join in so bad. So anyways, we thought that we would let him taste some organic sweet potato to get his palate going. I don't think he liked it, but I don't think he hated it either. We're not planning on feeding him solids all the time, we just wanted him to try it. So here's Ev's first time eating something besides breast milk :)



Sorry for the sideways view. I took it with my phone and I'm not sure how to flip it.

Well, that's it for my update. And I must say, I'm quite proud of myself for getting 3 posts done in the past week. That's got to be some kind of record.

Happy Labor Day weekend all!
