Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Whew! I need to get better at not slacking on my blog! I keep thinking to myself, "I'll just wait until we do 'this' and I get lots of cute pictures and then I will post them all at the same time!"--- as a result, I have oodles of pictures from different places we've been and things we've done as a family- so please enjoy! Kolton is officially 15lbs and 11oz! He is solid as a rock- hardly any flab! He is also starting to giggle a ton and he is oh, so close to rolling over! In the last month we have taken a trip to Elko, Nevada (for family history) and we went camping with the FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) group and we also went to Hogle Zoo as well as to the Logan and Lewiston fireworks! I also have pictures of Kole's first swimming experience and his cousin, Cora's fourth birthday party! I will be adding a slideshow- so I hope it turns out okay. Thanks for viewing! (and yes, I know it says he had his first "pite" of cereal- but the darn thing wouldn't let me edit it!)
Much love and {{hugs}}

Updates!

Hello, everyone! Well, Beauty and the Beast is now over as of last night, so life just became a lot less hectic! I am so excited to just be home with Kolton all the time now. The show was awesome- don't get me wrong! I had so much fun signing little girls' autograph books and making people laugh, but for those of you who have done theater, you know how much work it is and why I am happy to move on! Kolton is completely amazing me every day. He has recently started to giggle and I am constantly trying to coax one out of him! He has already grown out of so many things and is already fitting into three-month-old clothes! He has doubled in weight since he was born and he just keeps growing! We hope everyone who reads this is doing well!
With love,
Tabitha

Long time, no blog!

Hello to all~ Sorry for the lag in posting! We had a bit of a crazy day today- Kolton had his 2 month appointment and he is weighing in at a remarkable 10 pounds! I thought he would maybe weigh 8--how wrong I was... :) He is getting cuter and cuter by the day and I am having so much fun with him that I keep forgetting to get online and update our blog! I pulled it up today and realized how long it had been and felt a bit ashamed- so here it is. :) I am currently participating in Cache Regional Theater Company's production of Beauty and the Beast (I play the role of "silly girl"- meaning I am one of the three french girls who stalk Gaston) and I am also sewing costumes for said production. If that isn't a good enough excuse for not blogging (along with spending all of my breathing moments watching my darling son) then I don't know what is! Aside from the lack of sleep (which should be at a peak tonight as Kolton had his immunizations today) and busy schedule- we are blissfully happy! The Lord has blessed us immeasurably and we are so thankful to him for more than I can even write down at the moment. ((Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Cori! We love you and hope you are well!)) {{{hugs to all!!!!}}} and thank you for your love and visits to our site! We hope to keep in better touch with all of you...YAY INTERNET!! Love, Tabitha (or, as my sisters like to call me now- Momitha!)

HAPPY EASTER!

Well, life just keeps getting better! We have put out about 13 flyers in front of our house on the "for sale" sign and so far all of them are gone and a few people have even stopped by and we just put the sign out on Friday! Easter was so much fun for us- as you can see I got a little "creative" and crocheted some bunny ears for Kolton and the weather was so nice yesterday that he even got to go outside and watch the easter egg hunt! It was his first time going to any type of family party besides a shower, and of course everyone wanted to hold him and love on him. He is so smart! He got this fun little ball that is made out of a bunch of soft rings and he will stare at it for a long time and then reach out and grab it and lift it over his head. I am pretty sure he is over 7 lbs by now and he is also starting to sleep for up to 5 1/2 hours at a time! (celebration!!) We are nothing but smiles in this house and I am so excited to feel the warm weather--SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!! Hope everyone who reads this is doing as great as we are!

With love,

Wes and Tabitha and Kolton-the-Great

Family Update!

Hello to all once again! Kolton had his two week check-up (at age three weeks!) on Monday and the Dr. says all is great! Kolton now weighs 6lb 10oz! He is eating and eating and sleeping and growing. I can't believe he will be a month old next Tuesday! He has started giving kisses and I can't get enough of them- they are the kind where they open their mouth and shake their head back and forth (and don't tell me it's rooting, because he does it even when he's not hungry!) He is also starting to smile and coo a bit (though it mostly comes out as grunts!) He also LOVES music. We like to lay him down for his nap with my headphones for my MP3 player on either side and it puts him right to sleep (see picture). Wes and I are not getting much sleep, but we're not complaining. Every day I have to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming that something THIS great has happened in our lives. Kole is such a little miracle. Wes and I are putting our house up for sale next week so if anyone is in the market.... :) We hope to build this summer right behind where we live now so it should be quite an adventure! Hope everyone is well.

Love,

Tabitha and Kolton (who is with me as I type this)
