Oh, how i LOVE this boy! This morning Daddy made pancakes, and somehow Drake got some on his head. He makes me laugh everyday! He is so calm and such a good baby! I don't know how I got so lucky, but I am so glad he is in our family!!!





















Drake is now 9 1/2 months old! Can't believe it! But he is crawling and getting into everything. He can also stand up on anything. If I clean up one room and move on the the next, by the time i get done, my first room is completely ruined from Drake! He is like a twister, destroys EVERYTHING!!! But we love watching him explore and figure things out. Drake is such a smart little guy and very independent!














When we moved into our home in Redmond, we didn't know that it was already occupied....by MICE!!! Yes, our first day in we were trying to relax and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little critter run through my kitchen!!! Wow, I was so scared of this tiny creature! We set mouse traps (crunchy peanut butter works best for bait) in each corner of the kitchen. I KNEW it was time for Drake to get his first pet! A little kitty! Yes, Kix is our first pet and he is adorable! He let's Drake basically beat him up, and is so soft with him. The new phrase at our house lately is, "DRAKE!!! Don't eat the kitty!" HAHA, he absolutely LOVES the kitty! And it's not all bad for me, Kix keeps Drake occupied most of the time!
So, a little update...we live in Redmond!!! Since i work in Gunnison everyday, it is only practical that we lived closer to my work...so we decided it's time! And within a week we were packed and ready to move. Matt and I absolute LOVE it here! We are just renting, but it is so quiet and so fun to be out of an apartment complex! Before, the yard was, well....UGLY! But Matt has worked hard and planted grass and it is coming up great!

Drake makes the funniest/cutest faces! He expresses each emotion that he is feeling. We went to Cedar to visit Tina/Drew and ended up going to St. George to a small, shallow river for kids. Lots of fun...
Best friends/cousins...Drew stayed over at my parents for a couple nights while Tina was camping (haha, yes i said camping) with the Relief Society. Needless to say, Drew wore G'ma and Papa out!
So...I will never be able to catch up on my blog from where i ended, so i'm going to start here, at 7 months.
I can't believe how fast time has gone since we've had our little munchkin. He is so funny, just like his dad, always laughing and gets bored VERY easily! Another trait he got from Matt, absolutely LOVES the outdoors. He would stay out there all day if i let him!
Here he is sitting in the pool with G'ma (as Drew likes to call her)...
