What do you mean, "no candy"? Then why am I wearing this stupid outfit?

My new favorite picture of us!

I have no idea how I got that crazy look in both of their eyes at the same time. Since Ben was going as a mad scientist, I suppose it was appropriate.

Decisions, decisions. Do I want that Twix or this one?

I choose THIS ONE!

Tired, Tired pumpkin

James with cousins Nicole and Natalie in Chicago. They were all wearing their Fourth of July outfits. In August :)

James sleeping on Granny's lap. Couldn't you just eat him up!

Mom and Dad in, um, somewhere. I can't keep up with their travels. I think this at Flaming Gorge.

Beth and Don's girls Riah and Cloee. SOOOOOOOOOOO stinkin cute! James could also marry Cloee... (I mean instead of, not in addition to. Its not like I live in Ephraim anymore!)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture. So much in fact that I stole it from Kara's blog. It is in Ephraim in the Noyes building at me and Ben's 'pre wedding' party. To me, this picture represents a lot of "right before" moments. It's right before I married Ben, right before Kara had Eve, right before my mom and dad went on their mission and right before Bonnie and Brian got together! So cool! (PS: I am also holding a bunch of real calla lillies, my favorites!)

Brian and Bonnie's baby Ellie. James wants to date her. Actually, if James ends up like ANYONE OR EVERYONE in my group of friends, he'll have to marry one of Kara's daughters because they'll be OLDER women. Hee hee hee.

Isn't it funny that Kara and I can run into each other at an airport in a city where neither of us live?!

Ha ha ha ha ha. Think what you will.

Crazy Cantelope that we grew, huh? I think it grew in direct proportion to the size of our fridge.

This is James' new favorite game. I don't find it as enjoyable.

He really likes playing in his entertainer, as you can tell. His arch nemesis is the purple bird; he spends most of his time trying to "conquer" him.

Eating bananas. He likes them so much that when he finishes and you take the bowl away, he cries :(

Yo mama, wassup?

Mmmm, fingers.

Finally using those arms to push up and bonus- no crying this time.

Happy! Happy! Happy!

So sleepy...zzzz

Some men start so early, sigh.

Here are some of my favorite pics of James when he was around 2 months...

James' blessing day was the first Sunday in June. He was a perfect angel-no crying, no pooping, no puking, no nothing!

James' first days at home...

Here are some of James' first photos. He was born on April 12, 2006 at 10:42 am. He weighed 9lbs 9oz and was 21 inches long.
