Trunk or Treat 2009

Adam Bennett holding his youngest daughter, Ruby and my son. Ruby was the cutest little bat I have ever seen. Iain does not like the fog machine (can you tell?)

Iain's first trunk or treat. I don't know what is going through my punkin's head.

On Friday, October 30th, Marlene and I took Iain up to the church for his first Trunk or Treat. because of the snow it was moved inside. So everyone that was passing out candy was set up around the hall. And all the kids walked the hall way to trick or treat. The customs were so cute. And our ward have some very talented moms because they made their kids customs. Wow.

Breaking News...

Iain Has gotten his first tooth. He is 5 months old. I can't believe he has one now. Brian and his siblings didn't get there firth teeth till they were a year or more. And I got mine at 3 months. I guess Iain takes after me, at least when it comes to this. (Still can't get pictures to load (maybe I'll get Brian or my father-in-law to look into it).

Iain's 6month stats

So, this morning Brian and I took Iain to get his 6month shots. We learned that he weights 18lbs 14oz (which puts him in the 80% for his age group), 27 1/4 inches long (which puts him in the 95% for length), and him head was 17 1/2 inches (I don't know what that is in cm, but it puts him in the 85% for his age group), we have a very healthy and active little boy. Iain is rolling all over the place, has learned to make his walker go the way he wants it to, and he is trying to crawl (whatever will I do!). He has added green bean to his list of foods he likes. He also LOVES to suck on celery (who knew...?). Drinking out of mommy's, daddy's, and auntie Julie's water glass is a lot of fun and Iain will get MAD if he doesn't get to drink from our glass. He still isn't sleeping through the night (anyone know how to get an infant to sleep all night long). Hopefully, I'll have him doing that before we fly to VA on Nov. 19th for Thanksgiving. I know, you're all thinking 'where are the pictures she said she would put up?'. Something is wrong with loading pictures at the moment. I'll keep trying but it may take a little while. Hopefully I'll have it worked out by tomorrow...but we'll see.

The great grandparents from UT came to visit

On October 7th, Brian's grandparents on his dad's side, came to visit us. It has been great having them here with us. But sadly they are flying back to UT in the morning. Iain has enjoyed getting to know them. I will post pictures tomorrow (I hope to anyway).

Antics of the day

Iain was following his Aunt Julie's cup and started to bag for a sip of her water. It was too funny. He also likes to drink his pear juice out of cup not his bottle. What a funny little man we have. Last Friday we got some exciting news....Brian may have a job at last for few weeks.

Together for 2 years

Brian and I have been married for two years now. I can't believe how much as changed for us and how much has stayed the same. I love him more today than I did a year ago and even more than the day I married him. Brian is the best husband and he is also my best friend. I'm so glad that we found our way to one an other. It took a few years to get to the alter but once we did it has been a wonderful start to our eternity. It may not be smooth sailing, we have hit our share of bumps but I wouldn't trade the last two years for anything because it is only the beginning, we have many years yet to live. Brian is a wonderful father to our sweet son. I can't believe how much having a child changes how you look at someone. When I look at Brian I see the love that he has for our son. And I know in my heart that I can't wait to give him more children. The love the shines from him is so wonderful. I know that he wouldn't change anything over the last two years of our life together. Things haven't all ways been the easiest for us but I know if we hold onto one another and stay true to the gospel and keep the covenants that we made on our wedding day that everything will turn out fine. I'm so glad that I married a man that could take me to the Temple to be married for all eternity and who has the priesthood. And who can still take me to the temple.

He's getting so big

Iain reached two milestones this past week. First he learned to sit up by himself with out any aid from me or his daddy. Secondly he has rolled from his tummy to his back. Iain is a rolling machine. My little rolly-polly. I can't believe that he is almost 6months on the 23rd of this month.

Finished croqueted gifts

I have finally finished some of the gifts that I started for some friends and family that are expecting/have had their babies. Now to mail them. I hope to make it to the post office this week.

Julie is here...And a birthday

Okay so on Friday Julie and Marlene finally got here. After driving from VA. Julie finally moved to Colorado, I so happy. I finally have a work out partner (so I'll finally be able to lose the baby weight, yeah!). Iain is so excited that his aunt is here to play. So, Friday was also Marlene's birthday. Her very first as a grandma. Brian and I made an orange flavor bunt cake. The birthday candles that we had were duds, the wicks were too short, so they burnt out before Marlene could blow them out. Oh well, there's always next year.
