i LOVE this time of year, it always seems to be so MAGICAL and it seems to be even more magical this year now that we have Coleman...

Its like the little kid has been brought out in me again and i wanna do all the things i loved doing as a kid around this holiday season. I know Coleman is too young to understand but it doesnt stop me! it actually gets me even more GIDDY that i get to do this every year with him and each year he'll understand more and more.

growing up i ALWAYS wanted and always dreamed of being a mom that celebrated holidays with fun family traditions (just like my mom) that you looked forward to every year, i dreamed of being a mom that would take time to do "holiday crafts" with ger kids (just like my mom), i always DREAMED of being a MOM! and this year all my dreams are coming true!

i am SOOOOO BLESSED to have little Coleman as my son, he has brought a joy to nate and i that i dont think we could find anywhere else. I look forward to each day and the fun that me and that little man get to have together, he keeps me smiling and makes Nate and i so HAPPY!

i am SOOOOOOO blessed to have a husband that cares about me and Coleman and that is such a GREAT dad. He loves me and Coleman and does so much for us. He is such a good husband and makes me sooooooo SOOOOO HAPPY! I LOVE NATE!

and of course...
i am so so so blessed to have the gospel that gives me the knowledge that me and my two boys get to be together forever! what a HAPPY GREAT WONDERFUL thought that is... i get to spend forever with my two favorite people! HOW HAPPY!

I love this season, i think the real reason why is because it makes me take a second and look at how blessed i am! I am so BLESSED!
I love this SEASON, i love NATE, i love COLEMAN, and I LOVE THE GOSPEL!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

4 months young

wow today our little Cole Bear is 4 months old! he is growing so big so fast! He is trying to talk to us and has started a very hillarious high pitched talk. it makes me smile everytime he does it! He is reaching for stuff and pulling it straight to his mouth (of course) and loves smiling and laughing! he has the cutest little giggle and his dad can really get him laughing. he is our little scaredy cat too, loud noises and sudden movements make him jump and most of the time cry. he still loves being bounced and we discovered he LOVES the trampoline! he is so big and wearing some 6 month clothes. we sure love him! and NO he is not sleeping through the night, but its okay i've learned to really love the mid night feedings and cherish holding a sleeping baby! We love our little COLEMAN, Happy 4 months little monster

Family Pictures

so we did family pictures with my family and here are a few of my favorites!

Pictures. pictures. pictures

well we decided its probably time to update you with pictures. Nate loves putting Coleman in funny wierd places that you normally wouldn't see a person or a baby and take a picture... hence Coleman is in Nate's lunch box. such a good sport.

well our computer is being stupid so i guess we are only going to give you a picture of our little man in a lunch box and that was taken 2 months ago... Sorry i got your hopes up but stay tuned for more... this is just a taste of whats to come!

Getting SO big SO fast!!

Yesterday my baby Coleman turned 3 months!!! before i know it he wont be my baby anymore... that thought alone makes me cry!!! he is so dang cute and i just love kissing his chubby little cheeks! he loves being held, i get teased by family that he is gonna be one spoiled kid cuz i hold him so much but i cant put him down and he can be spoiled right now, he's only three months!!! he is such a good little baby, he is starting to laugh and its probably the cutest thing i have ever heard! he loves being rocked to sleep but hasn't slept through the night yet and it really doesnt look like its gonna happen anytime soon. He is mine and nate's greatest joy! we sure love him to pieces! he is teething right now so we got through about 3 onsies a day cuz they are soaked through with drool. you would think i would be smarter and put a bib on him! he has to be held facing outward so he can see whats going on and he loves being talked to... if you talk to him for a minute your sure to see a huge grin! and of course he still loves being bounced but hey i can't complain cuz it gives my legs a killer workout! :) he is starting to attempt sitting up but always ends up slipping to the left or right or sometimes face forward. he loves his swing and and he loves his Bumbo (mommy does too). he loves the bathtub and is starting to splash. he is always wiggling and moving even in h is sleep. So little story... at night i swaddle wrap him in a blanket and then put a warmer heavier blanket over top of him. So the other night i laid him down for the night in the MIDDLE of the crib in ALL directions (hope that makes sense) well when he woke up in the middle of the night to feed i went in to get him out of his crib he was all UNWRAPPED out of his blankets, SIDEWAYS at the TOP of the crib. my first thought was... why would nate lay him like that, then i realized nate wouldn't wake up to feed him in the first place... so how the heck did he get like that??? well... long story short it has happend every night since then. i now put him at the very BOTTOM of the crib smack dab in the MIDDLE. but without fail he is up at the top of the crib sideways! WE got ourselves a wiggle worm!!! over the last three months coleman has already developed some unique nicknames from family and friends, here are some of them... Rufio(my brothers call him that) Coleypokie(my mom calls him that) buster(my dad calls him that) coley polie( nate's dad call him that) and lots lots more! we sure love Coleman and wouldnt trade him for anything!! HAPPY THREE MONTHS!!!

okay i'm terrible with posting and i always post when i dont have any pictures on the computer or dont have my camera with me! but i thought i'd give you a quick update about our lives and whats been going on... so bare with me if this post is killer long cuz a lot of stuff has happened...

well the day coleman turned 2 months old Nate got diagnosed with the stupid swine flu!!! he got a temp. of 104 and had a nasty cough. the doctor told him to stay away from me an Coleman so we didnt get it, so he went and stayed at his parents house for the rest of the week and i went and stayed at my parents. it was a hard 5 days! coming home had never felt better! the thing i learned from this is that swine flu isnt as scary as everyone is making it out to be, well at least nate's version of it wasnt, and that God is so very mindful of us and answers prayers... to this day me and Coleman still havent gotten it but everyone in my family has and i personally think it is an answer to my prayers. I also learned how much i love Nate and how much i really do depend on him, i dont know how single parents do it and i tip my hat off to you cuz it was HARD!

Coleman is now rolling over like crazy, but only from his stomach to his back. He is talking and smiling always! We had a special event happen las sunday... we blessed Coleman. Nate did such a neat awesome blessing. it was a really specail day. When Coleman woke up that morning it was like he knew what was going on... he was so smiley! more than usual and he was so content and happy! Nate said that while he was blessing him he looked at him for a second and Coleman had a huge grin in his face! what a cute baby boy we have been blessed with!
We think he has started teething this past week too. He is drooling like crazy, a little fussy and has to always be chewing on something, most of the time it is his hands in his mouth. I also think he is going through a growth spurt cuz he is eating like a mad man! I cant wait to dress him up for halloween! we got him the cutest costume! i sure love my little man!

Nate is busy busy with work and being a great dad and husband. He just got called into young mens also! he'll do so good! he truely is the love of my life and such a great guy! he makes me so happy and is so good to help with Coleman and around the house.

We had a special event in the Denny Family little brayden, nate's youngest brother, got married last week. it was so neat. they got married in the Salt Lake Temple. I love his wife too, she is Such a sweetheart and they are so cute together! CONGRATS guys!!
and another neat thing is that Coleman is gonna have a cousin!! my sister-in-law Jessica is pregnant!! WOOT WOOT! i cant wait! i'm so excited for her and i tell her all the time... so much that she is probably sick of it! :) but being a mom is the greatest thing in the whole wide world so i cant wait for her! Her Baby and Coleman will be about 9 months apart maybe a little more! i think she is gonna have a girl but secretly i really want her to have a boy... for Colemans sake! :)

I have made a goal to lose 25 pounds by January 1st. right now it seems so impossible but i'm gonna do it!!! i gained some wieght being pregnant and i want it gone!!! so if i reach my goal i'm gonna reward myself some how! so no sugar or treats for me because 6 pack abs here i come!

okay so i think i have probably bored you to death but thats our little update with no pictures... LAME!!! but hopefully i'll be better at posting so i wnt have these terribly lengthy posts!
