long over due up date

well my pictures werent cooperating in this post or maybe i'm computer stupid! either way dont forget to read my posts at the bottom!

little j-man is home!

he went from ski bum to mission man! he is all grown up! we are so proud of him!

wow!!! I am so sorry for the long over due update! I have been so busy and summer has been crazy! so first off! a YEAR ago my little baby was born! can you believe he is one? cuz i sure cant!! July 23rd was a day i will cherish forever! it is the day our small little family of two grew to a family of three and we havent looked back since! Coleman has been the greatest blessing in mine and Nate's life! we have learned so much from this little man and grown so close as a family! He is all over the place and has been walking since he was 9 months old... so you can imagine how good he is at it now! we play chase Coleman all day long! he is starting to really understand stuff and blabbing all sorts of words, we have only been able to figure out a few of them. He says "mommy" "dada" "all done", "doggy", "up" and what we think is "Coleman". you can ask him what the elephant says and he will answer and what the doggy says. its so cute! he also gives high five and knoggin'. he understands what no no means and what hot means, and the most recent is going down the stairs backwards (we've been working on that one for a long time and have tons of bumps, bruises and scars to prove it). This last year has been full of very mini challenges with Coleman too, at 6 months we found out he is allergic to milk, and then most recent he is allergic to a whole slew of things... here is the list.... Gluten, dairy, pork, sodium chloride, and aluminum chloride. so basically what this means is my son can only eat fruit and veggies. It makes eating quite the ordeal! But even with the ups and down and rashes and sleepless nights i would not trade any of them! i am so blessed to be little Colemans mommy! i love this little man!

next update... i'm sure most of you already know this BUT...

MY BROTHER IS HOME!!!!!

jesse got home at 11:00 p.m on May 24th! it was such a fun night! we went to IHOP after he landed. it wasnt the best food but it was good company and great converation! it is so good to have lil j-man home! he is adjusting to life well and now we just gotta get him married (dont tell my mom i said that) so if you have any cute single ladies that me and Megan would approve of just give me a holla! :)

well guys... its almost midnight and i should be sleeping cuz all you mom's know how precious it is! so i'll finish this another night! GOOD NIGHT!

Behind in the Blogging!

WOW i am SOOOOO lame! i just looked at my blog and realized i'm so so so far behind in my blogging! so just a little line to tell you its coming... one of these days! :)

9 month photoshoot

my baby is getting so big! he will be 9 months this friday! where does the time go?? this is a preview of the photo shoot we got taken of him this past week!

Coleman is trying to walk and is always on the go. this makes for a tired baby and a tired mommy at the end of each day! He blabbers all day long and screams too, he loves his daddy and laughs a lot when he is around. He loves our dog and gets giddy when we go outside and play with him. He isnt a big fan of eating... he has better things to do it seems like. He also still isnt a big fan of sleeping... go figure! we sure love Coleman! he is out joy and makes us so so so happy everyday! we sure love you little buddy!

i'll post more pictures from the photoshoot when they are edited.

St. George

This past weekend we went to St. George. It was a fast trip but it was a fun get away! we swam, visited with my Grandma Chris and invaded her house, and watched Shane play some wicked awesome rugby! it was so much fun. it was nice weather and all around a great time. I even convinced nate to shop with me for a little bit. Coleman Hated the pool at first so it took some convincing and some tears but he finally ended up loving it... sorta! (which is so wierd cuz he loves loves loves the Roy pool at home... figure that one out???)

What a week!

Well March is here and what does that mean??? Well of course it means Nate is out of Town!

BOO!!!

spring is their busy season and with the busy season comes a lot of out of town work... so this week started of with Nate leaving out of town on Monday morning really early.

BUT... lets back track for a second... remember my last post about my sick baby???

well... he got even worse!! Thursday he got a fever and diarrhea. Friday we added a runny/stuffy nose, and Saturday we topped it all off with a cough (a bad bad congested cough). So went spent Sunday sleeping, drinking lots of liquid and crying. it was not a fun weekend for poor Coleman. oh and to make it all better I woke up Sunday sick with exactly the same thing as Coleman.

Anyways back to Nate leaving on Monday. I woke up Monday morning not feeling good at all, Coleman wasn't feeling good at all so I decided to pack up and go to my mom's to have her help while Nate was gone for the week. luckily i did...

Monday night Coleman cried a lot of the night, Tuesday night Coleman cried ALL night so Wednesday I had had it with being sick, but I had to work so I had my sweet mom take Coleman to the doctor... and of course we needed to add to Coleman's symptoms list ...Coleman has a good old fashion ear infection! (Hence the Crying ALL night). so a fever,diarrhea, stuffy/runny nose, cough and an ear infection!

And of course this all has to happen with Nate out of town. It has been quite the week, luckily I have been blessed with awesome parents who are willing to help. Tuesday night my Dad helped me with Coleman from 12:45-3:15 and then again at 5:30! what a great guy! My Mom changed countless nasty diapers, made sure he was comfortable and kept rubs on him, and took him to the doctors, oh and was also up with him crying! My sister Megan watched him when no one else could, (while I was at work) and changed 4 diapers in one hour! Shane was there to keep Coleman smiling, Coleman would cry when Shane would leave the room! I know I couldn't have done it this week without their help. since Saturday night I have gotten an average of 2-5 hours of sleep a night. so they have been a blessing to keep me sane and help me with my poor sick baby! thanks Mom, Dad, Megan and Shane! I sure love you guys!

What a week! what a week! Luckily Nate comes home tomorrow! Thank goodness.

crawling, throwing up and being held...

wow our little coleman had quite the day yesterday! it all started at 6 a.m when he woke up crying. I went and got him out of his crib fed him and after eating hardly anything he just laid there with his head on my shoulder and arms tucked in under his body... i had a feeling then that it was gonna be a long day! (and i was right) He fell back asleep in my arms and slept till 8, again waking up crying. all day long he wanted to be held and if i wasn't holding him he would cry cry cry. so around 9:30 he fell back asleep and took a two and a half hour nap (which NEVER happens) well... around 2:30 i was up at my mom's house and my mom was feeding him a bottle and he started crying and all the sudden... you guessed it... THROW UP! all over his jacket, shirt, hair and pants plus all over my mom's couch! poor guy! instantly his face turned so pale he looked green and just whimpered. it was so sad! so we packed up and went home. that night I loaded him up with pedilyte and applesauce but right before i was gonna put him to bed he started crying to be put down so i set him down and the little bugger CRAWLED!!!! my cell phone was on the ground and he crawled to it! i was so caught off guard, i know he was gonna start crawling soon but i guess i didn't expect it to happen when he was sick!!! anyways he whimpered all night and threw up a little bit more... lets just say it was a long night of him wanting to be held... which is great for him cuz he actually sleeps but bad for the mom (that being me) cuz you dont sleep. and during all this Nate was at work till 7 then came home and went straight to young mens and got home at 9:30 so straight to bed we went and he got up and left at 6.... sheesh its been quite the week and its only wednesday morning!!! and Coleman isnt feeling better today! poor poor poor guy!!!
