One Year Older

My little baby turned one today. I can't believe it! It's gone by way too fast. He still has no teeth and hasn't started to walk, but I'm okay with that. I'll let him be little for as long as I can.

Almost 5 Months Behind

So I frequently get the question why don't you update your blog? When are you going to put pictures up etc, etc, etc. Well I'll tell you why I haven't I've been way too BUSY!!!!!! I won't bore you with all the details of my busy life because I'm sure you would stop reading this in a second. So instead I decided that I would just post a bunch of pictures from the previous months that I've never put up. Yes I might put a caption or two, but don't they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words? (I'll put them on in a few different posts)

Colson's first time in the water at the cabin in Island Park.

Shane holding Colson and Elenor (I hope I spelled her name right guys!)

Colson fell asleep on our evening boat ride. I love hi little life vest. Safety first!

Janelle, Me, Tate and Colson

Two of my best friends from Colorado came up to visit for a weekend. It was so much fun. We hung out, went to the National Potato Museum :), went to the water park, ate at some of the popular places in Blackfoot and enjoyed each other's company.

Colson's pants kept falling down. In fact in this picture I had no idea they were even down! lol

Tori please don't kill me !!!!! This was during our family vacation up at the cabin in Island Park. We had got a little crazy. When we get together who knows what will happen!

After dinner one night up at the cabin I asked Shane to hold Colson while I helped clean dinner up. When I came back out Shane had put him in the basket in between him and Todd on the camp chairs. Colson thought it was the funnest thing! It was darn cute!

I've Come Full Circle

Well, this is the first of many post this week since I won't have school after Tuesday. This past weekend I've been doing a lot of reflecting. Especially Sunday during sacrement meeting. We've been in this ward since May and Shane already has a calling. He's an Elder's quorum teacher. So two Sundays ago when we got called into speak with one of the counslers in the bishopric, I knew that most likely it was for me...it was. I am now a MiaMaid adviser. Who would have thought. I myself was in Young Women's what like 6 years ago. I feel very humbled to know that my Heavenly Father knows that I can serve him in this new capacity. I feel so greatful to each of my advisers and teachers in Young Women's. I am just praying that I'll be able to be some kind of a positive influence on these girls like my leaders were for me.

Crawling Again

I couldn't find Colson last weekend as I was cleaning the house. I ended up finding him in his bedroom entertaining himself.

The Monster at Our House

Here's colson just crawling away!

Driving In Cars With Babies

About two weeks ago, Shane and I found ourselves driving back from Idaho Falls with Colson. Well Colson happened to not be in the car seat mood and was wanting someone in the back with him so I climbed into the back and sat next to him. Even with me back there he was not in a good mood. The radio was on and I started singing to him and dancing really obnoxiously. We're talking arms flailing and doing every known dance move. Well to my utter joy Colson started laughing hysterically. This went on for some time when Shane started laughing pointing out that everyone was staring at us smiling and laughing as they passed us. It was at this moment that I realized I could care less. I was having a blast with Colson and we were rocking out! Who cares? Besides I'm sure people liked that they had entertainment on the I-15!

On the Hunt......

Our little guy has turned into quite the little mover. I have finally figured out how to transer our videos from our video camera to our computer to our blog, so I might go a little video crazy, but I don't care, Colson is just too darn fun to watch crawl and gaga and goo!
