8 months old and in charge!

These are from his 8 month old photo shoot. We decided that we would try these at the park, with Cleo, around naptime. Let's just say that it was not my most shining mommy moment. Yep and that is a runny nose to add to all of the drama! He is getting 4 top teeth all at once and it has not been fun at all! Cleo is starting to figure out that he is not going away, and we keep wondering if we could ever love someone more.

Mama in the city

With the recent opening of City Creek Center just 3 blocks from our house, interest in downtown living is at an all time high here in Utah.  Our family has getting a lot of attention because we live here and also plan to raise our children here.  I am happy to be an ambassador for a lifestyle that I am absolutely in love with.

 Also when the Downtown Alliance, whom I love everyone there and everything about what they do, asked me to participate in their My Own Downtown project I was happy to oblige.


Lastly, City Weekly edited my blog post down and it ran this week(I would like it to be noted that
I did not approve the title, which is a bit harsh imo) the rest they did a really great job with though.

This week

We have been cooking, gardening and playing up a storm!  Still loving Instagram despite Doug's insistence that it is evidence of the decline of our society :)

Instagram

I have long been awaiting this program to come to my phone.  Since I became a mommy I have had such a hard time keeping up with pics with my "nice camera".  Mostly I have my phone handy when Grayson is doing something I can't bear the thought of forgetting.  instagram solves this problem for me.  So, here ya go tons of pics.
