Tickets, Toms, & Tiffany's

i had a lovely birthday celebration this year it started on saturday with lunch a cheesecake factory, yumm. despite the lack of pictures, dad and jeremy were also at lunch.

Jeremy bought tickets to go see blink-182, which is the one band i have always wanted to see. im super excited, i think that we are going to make a night of it.

 i also got a super cute pair of toms. 

and all us girls now have these tiffany’s bracelets. 

no trip to cheesecake is complete without cheesecake! my fave is fresh banana...i could actually go for a piece right now:)

then on sunday, my actual birthday i requested dads famous hotdogs and potatoes for sunday dinner. 

he and chally rocked it the kitchen and we had a delish dinner. 

and of course no birthday celebration is complete without moms texas sheet cake and some candles. thanks for a great 24th birthday.

looking back i am exactly where i want to be in my life. sure i have not finished school yet, something i really would love to do...someday, but today is not that day. today i am working on being the best wife i can be while being a momma to easton. yes, it is challenging. yes, some days are super hard. but there is nothing else i can imagine doing. i have a great support system and the best family a girl could ask for. heres to another year in the life of me! thanks for a wonderful birthday!

with all the new changes coming about, we [by we i mean i[ decided that we NEEDED to get family pictures. i am so glad that we did, they are great! these are my faces

incase you have not heard challis leaves for Spain 8.26 to play basketball professionally= 

+ so sweet + 

isn’t that the cutest boy you ever did see??

4 Month Stats

well folks we’ve got a big happy healthy boy:)

26” tall and weighs 15lbs 13oz

easton is holding his head really well

sits up great with support

is putting weight on his legs, he wobbles like a hula dancer but its cute

he is beginning to recognize people, its soo sweet 

he is exploring his world through his mouth

he is still not sleeping very much but we are working with it!

we are trying to spend as much time with auntie as possible before she leaves. we are also trying to talk j into taking us to disneyland paris when we go to visit auntie in spain next year.

{sweet boy}

toasty is getting so  big, i know it really was  not that long ago, but i really miss his tiny little self. he is growing like a weed and changing so much.

here is what he is up to these days:

rollin from belly to back
turning onto his side to sleep...if he sleeps that is
everything, i mean everything goes straight to his mouth. it pretty funny
gagging himself, and then doing it over again just to make sure he doesn't like it
he sings himself to sleep in the car with the cutest little "oooos" and "aahhhs"
he likes to hold your hand and he falls asleep
pulling the paci out and then screaming until you put it back in, OR
pulling it out and trying with all his might to get it back in, sometimes this is successful
his legs are getting stronger and he will put some weight on them

we just really love him to bits! he is the best baby ever!!

well there you have it, basically everything you missed the past month or so!

mini family vaca

we went to flag on our first mini family vaca! my good friend bria's youngest son is playing soccer this summer and i have been dying to get out of the heat, so today's soccer game seemed like just the excuse we needed! the weather was beautiful, some storm clouds rolled in and there was a little thunder but no rain...perfect! the game was so cute on the mini soccer field.

easton got dressed up for the game in a lil flying shark onsie i made for him, complete with avery's number on the back. he was too cute

i think they won the game...i should probably confirm that. sports are just not my forte:)

we had lunch after the game, spent some time at bria's house, walked around downtown, and ended the evening with a lovely dinner with the knauf's.

it was a quick little trip, but it was quite lovely.
