Commitment Issues

Alright, I'm recommitting myself to blog more often. I need to keep up with all the cute happenings that go on with Monroe. It's going by too fast to miss! Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to. We were able to go up to Idaho on two separate occasions. If you haven't ever experienced and Idaho spring/summer you're missing out.

Monroe got to spend time with all of his cousin at his Opa and Nana's house in Idaho Falls. We roasted hot dogs, made smores, built a tee-pee and had a slip and slide party. Can't get better than that.

Back in April, we got to go to Boise with Abuelos to visit my grandparents. It was so much fun and Monroe got smothered in love and attention. We had a busy schedule so there weren't many pictures but we got one with the cutest great grandparents in the world!

Lastly, I finally got a picture (maybe not the best) of the beautiful tulips that come up every spring in Logan. It's one of my favorite explosion of blossoms!

We love our family and the time we get to spend together.

Monroe the Matador + LV Halloween

It's been a while since I've posted. Even though Halloween is three weeks past, I needed to archive our adventures. This year Monroe was a Matador. He was the cutest matador possible, all he was missing was his mustache (I stopped trying after three disasters with liquid eyeliner). Some confused him with Michael Jackson, but for the most part his red cape under his arm let people know that he meant business as a matador. We spent Halloween in Las Vegas with our families. Here are some pictures of what went on:

Going from the top left to right, row by row, here's what we did. 1-Family Halloween Photo, 2-Monroe with his cousins (Rylee, Monroe & Ellie), 3-Andre Agassi, Monroe & Kirk dressed as Andre Agassi (yes, the black Mr. T is really Andre Agassi!), 4- Dirty Old Man as Cupid on Fremont Street, 5- Superman on Stilts (most amazing constume), 6- Fremont Experience with Family/Friends

It was so much fun! I had forgotten why Halloween was so much fun in Las Vegas, and now I remember. I think it has to be the best place to spend Halloween, if you haven't been, schedule it sometime.

¡Vago!

Thanks for the encouragement/comments on unswaddling Monroe. He's done great again today so we'll see how it keeps going. At night we're still keeping him swaddled but maybe this next week we'll try it if he seems ready.

Well we're off again to Las Vegas! Kirk is going on a random trip to London so Monroe and I are going down to stay with Abuelos Williams. My mom calls Monroe 'vago' which translates to vagabond since he's always bouncing around to a new destination. I wanted to keep track of where he went his first year so I made him a little map. (It's getting pretty full for a four month old.) My mom tells Monroe that she didn't take her first plane ride until she was in her twenties! And he's already flown 3 times! We'll see how this next flight goes. He's always really interested in the plane surroundings and hasn't cried yet... (I think I just jinxed myself).

Don't forget to put flowers in your hair...

I'm off to San Francisco to give the baby it's first swallow of culture. There are some boutique's I'm hoping to visit. If anyone knows of some must visit places, let me know! I hate it when you get back from a place and people mention cool spots you missed out on.
