Family Pictures

OK, so we have just moved into a beautiful rental house in McKinney, and had to go to Corpus to get all of our things, we were only there for one day, but I was able to get an AWESOME photographer in our old ward to take some time out of her day and take some pictures of us, and here are the results!!

It was so hot out there I'm surprised you can't just see our faces dripping with sweat!

Jett was so good for the most part and just looked at the camera and smiled whenever Amber talked to him.

Until it came to the grass . . . We were trying to get a picture of Vince and I squatting and Jett standing inbetween us, but he thought the grass was too interesting to hold still. We finally gave up on the picture and just let him play in the grass, but we still got a cute picture.

Here is my little man standing. He is starting to let go of things and trying to balance on his feet, I'm sure he'll be walking pretty soon. Which will be interesting. Just crawling he can pretty much get into whatever he wants, but he never takes the easy path, if there is an obstacle instead of going around it, he tries to go through it, he's gotten stuck a few times inbetween the chairs at the table. But somehow he always goes right back.

We are so blessed to have him in our lives and maybe if things keep going well, he will have a little brother or sister soon!!

Jett-a-rooni

Well I know it's been a little while. It's amazing how behind you can get on things with one little baby around. But here is a little update.

Jett was baptized on February 8th by his Dad. It was so cute, his little sweater was actually knitted by my sister's mother in law, the sweater fit perfectly, but the hole for the head was too small, so it's a miracle I got it over his big head, he wasn't happy about it.

Jett will have some big boots to fill when he get's old enough for Grandpa to pick on!

We took Jett swimming for the first time a couple of weeks ago, he LOVED it. He always loved bathtime, but I wasn't sure about cold water. I guess I was just being overprotective because he was in heaven!

Vince thinks it's funny to put him in his swing to go to sleep, but then he hangs over the side. It's pretty funny though. He is the light of our life, but I get a little annoyed because he is already a Daddy's boy. I'll be holding him and he won't even pay attention to me because he is too busy looking for Vince. He is getting ready to crawl, already up on his hands and knees rocking back and forth, so good luck to me!!!

Trip to Arizona

So my Mom and I decided to take a crazy car trip with a 3 week old baby to Arizona. I got pulled over on the way to El Paso but luckily got only a warning (the baby was screaming in the back so the cop had pity on me) but after a very long trip we finally made it to Arizona to see my sister, my Grandmas, and my new beautiful niece Brynlee.

Here are Jett and I with the cactI in Arizona. I was quickly corrected by my 4 year old nephew when I tried to refer to them as cactuses. He was quick to point out to me that if it's one it's a cactus, and if it's more than one, then they are called cacti. Pretty sad getting corrected by someone who's not even in kindergarten!

Here are some of the pics that my sis had taken


Here we both are with our cute little babies

And here are the two new ones with 5 generations. We are so lucky to be able to take a picture like this. Pretty awesome to have that many generations. My great grandma by the was is 90 years old and just got her drivers license renewed. She is a pretty amazing woman.

Here is Jett and Brynlee, you can see a definite size difference despite them only being 2 weeks apart. Brynlee looks terrified that Jett will roll over on her!

And here is my little Cowboys fan!

He just needs a little more time to grow into that hat!!!

Baby Jett's finally here!

Vince and I are so happy to announce the arrival of our precious baby Jett on December the 19, weighing 7 lb 7 oz and 20 in long. He is a healthy happy baby who looks just like his daddy. So finally for those of you who have been waiting here are some pictures.

Here is Jett in his Christmas hat that Grandma Cox got for him.

Here he is taking a snooze on the stuffed dog that Santa brought.

Here's baby Jett and cousin Avery hanging out.

And here he is as Mommy's little wrapped up burrito. lol.

Maybe one day soon when Mommy gets a little more weight off there will be some family pics!
