rice cereal and apple juice!

The pediatrician gave us the A'okay to give Isaac his first real food. If you call ground up rice cereal mixed with baby apple juice food:) He did so good! I was so proud! Tomorrow we get to try sweet potatoes...Who would have known that introducing new foods to a baby could be so exciting, but it really is. I love my life, I love that what I look forward to in a week is feeding my baby new foods, and watching him learn to grab at objects and being there the first time he rolls over and the second. This is what my life is all about and there is absolutely nothing I would change. There is nothing in life that I want to accomplish more then being a mom and raising my family. I ask myself the question if I wasn't married now, or if I didn't have Isaac what would I be doing, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. Bath time, tummy time, feeding time, changing time...this is my life and this is all I could ever ask for!

Wesley James Payton

Wesley James Payton was born on October 16th 2008. He is 5lbs 1 oz! He is so tiny and so perfect! I've never been an aunt before and I am so excited!
Here's the proud daddy John and his new little son.
Isaac is a giant next to his new cousin Wesley! They are going to be best friends forever! I can't wait until they are both little toddlers running around grandmas house! It will be so much fun!

The BEARD!

Many of you know that my fanatic of a husband has been growing out his beard for the deer hunt for over a month now! I was not a fan so I was pretty happy when he announced last night that he would be shaving it off! When he came back in the room this is what I got...
A count of Monte Cristo goatee...not too bad but I still think the worst part is that sick stash. So I voiced this out loud and made fun of him for a little while so he said fine I'll shave it off. And when he came back in the room this is what I got...
What the heck..That's not what I meant:) Pretty sick right! Mustaches are sick and not in a sick tight kind of way! haha! Well luckily it's all gone now however you'll just have to trust me because I forgot to get an after shot.

St. Georgie

Last weekend was the open of the deer hunt so me and Isaac packed up our bags and went to visit Aunt Ari in St. George! Luck for me my mom wanted to tag a long with us...she was a great help with Isaac especially on the drive. I wasn't sure how he'd do 4 hours in his "bucket" but he was great!
Gosh...that's a perfect picture/ really ugly picture haha that's the way we like it! It was homecoming for Dixie so we got to follow Ari around to all her events for the weekend. This is a dinner at the Alumni House...so fun!
I LOVE this picture!! Isaac always makes this face right before he starts to cry! You can't tell me that's not hilarious! I can't help but laugh...I'm a mean mom.
I didn't get very many good pictures on this trip! We were always too busy to think about pulling the camera out. It seems like 75 % of the pics were taken in the car...we're pretty boring like that! Drive on! This is us driving to Vegas to go shopping for the day..which was one of the best days! We found a great mall outside the strip that had a great H & M! I love that store! Thanks E for the tip:)

Rebecca's Baby Shower

Two Saturdays ago it was Rebecca's baby shower! It turned out great, she got all sorts of adorable baby presents. Here's a pic of the girls, my mother-in-law Tammy, Sis-in-law Rebecca and me. We are however missing Erin:( Wish you were there! I am so excited that Isaac will have cousins so close to his age! And as a side note I just found out this morning that Rebecca's water broke and she is in the hospital...so hopefully by tonight little baby Payton (who still doesn't have a name!) will be here!!!

Foliage!

The first week in October we went up little cottonwood canyon and had dinner just the three of us. It was absolutely incredible...these pictures don't even begin to do justice to the colors of the trees! Autumn is with out a doubt the most beautiful time of the year.
This is how isaac enjoyed the whole night. Sleeping soundly in is "bucket". What a champ.
