Hats

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to get out my crochet hook and get busy while I had peace and quiet.  Winter is coming and I love love love snowmen so at about 3a.m. I got the finished result.  

I do sell these hats, I can customize them with whatever colors you like. I sell the owl hats for $15 and the snowmen for $18 if you are interested, please feel free to email me at stefanijessop[at]gmail[dot]com they make great Christmas gifts! (If you're interested in a different style hat I am always willing to try new things.)

Boo!

How is it already November?  I feel like the whole summer just flew by and then october was like a week long.  Life has been busy and exciting for us, Kevin is super busy with school and work so we take all the time we can get with him.  Somehow he still manages to do tons around the house even with such a demanding schedule!  We still found time to go to Utah and see Kevin's brother Mitch play football and meet his fiance!

Having fun at church, his nap time is right during our first hour, relief society. So we spend most of our time in  the mother's lounge or walking the halls and trying to get him to sleep.

 My boys in the owl hats.  Drake wore his in his newborn pictures and it obviously doesn't fit anymore so I made him a new one.

Drake is watching Sesame Street here, he is obsessed with TV

 This is Kevin watching TV, I'm pretty sure they're related just based on these pictures alone, ha!

 He loves his dad!

 Date night!

 He loved to be covered in blankets at the beginning of the month, now he moves around too much that none of them stay on him anymore.

 Soggy feet from long bath times! He still loves his baths but now he's thinking he wants to roll while in them. bad idea.

 Drake and Great Oma

 My big boy sitting in the cart, he lasted for maybe two minutes.

My baby boy has teeth, how did that happen?  We had no idea he was teething, he was chewing on my finger one day and bit down and I was like OMG you have a TOOTH! what the heck?!

 He was a chicken for Halloween, most people thought he was a dinosaur or dragon.  Better luck on the costume next year!  And of course our tradition of carving pumpkins again, mine is of the left and Kevin's on the right.

 Drake and Great Opa

 At Mitch's football game.

 Before he could sit up and after he had grown out of his own tub we did a bumbo bath.  Now I just put a few inches of water in the tub and he loves it. But he still refuses to sit up in the tub, he loves to splash too much!

 Kevin got his face painted at our ward's fall festival.

 We also spent some time in Reno during October but of course I didn't get any pictures.  In two weeks we're headed to Colorado for Thanksgiving, I really can't believe the holidays are around the corner but we're excited for all our holiday traditions and to see all our families.  Drake is rolling like crazy and starting to pull his legs under his body and last night he went up on his toes and hands.  He is really good at scooting backwards and gets really mad when he can't reach something or we take something he was playing with away.  He's no longer sleeping through the night :( last night he did better than he has in a while because for half the night he was on his stomach, shhh don't tell anyone.  But i'll take all the sleep I can get for now, and He loves his tummy time, that's for sure! He wants to grab everything now and he is getting a little better at eating solid foods.  For the most part he has done well with everything we have tried except for peas and bananas. When I opened the bananas I just about dry heaved myself so I don't blame him! Our little boy is becoming big before our eyes!

As of late...

Drake and I started off August in Colorado with my family.  It was fun to see them and of course Drake was spoiled!

This little boy turned three months old!

We celebrated our Two year Anniversary!

We Played some mini golf in the hot weather, We had to strip Drake down to his diaper so he wouldn't overheat.

 

This little boy found his Thumb a lot and then lost it again, thankfully.  He still loves his fingers and fists though.

He also figured out that he could hold the bottle.  He still hasn't quite mastered it but he's getting there.  I lost my milk so he is completely formula fed, I have mixed feelings about that.

He blew lots and lots of spit bubbles.

 We ended the Month in Utah/ Colorado Where we went to the USU vs SUU game, Kevin's younger brother Mitch plays for SUU and Drake fell asleep playing with the burp rag in Grandma Karen's arms, He must have been tired!

 Love my Aggie boys!

 Drake and I drove to Grand Junction, CO with my brother and Sister in law to see my youngest brother play football and spend some time with my family. 

 My brother Chandler with his dyed mustache.

 My brothers

My sister Klaire, Her mustache is way better than chandlers.

 We started off September In Utah and in the Sun

 This little boy tried Rice Cereal for the first time, He didn't love it and I'm still working on it with him but we'll see how he feels about Veggies soon. 

 He also found his tongue

 He got a new toy that he loves, he gets to stand which is something he loves!

 We did lots of bath time, he loves his baths.

And he turned 4 Months old. 

I can't believe how summer flew by! We've had so much fun adjusting to our life of a family of three, and we're excited for fall to come.  Kevin just started a master's program so between that and how busy he is at work he is very very busy but we're excited for all the changes to come and couldn't feel more blessed!
