Random Happenings

Because I have a slight obsession with taking pictures of my little nugget I decided I better get them on the blog, whether they have anything to relate to or not...and not only that, but being the AVID football fans we are, of course we had to get Beckahm his first football jersey. And this is something that definitely cannot go without documentation! Although I would've chose a different team...cough* saints *cough..=) I still think he looks ridiculously adorable and I am totally in love with it, and the fact that he has twinner jerseys with his daddy. LOVE. Other than that these pictures are just pure randomness...

Step 1: Get a hold of the foot...

Step 2: Lift legs and open mouth

Step 3: Go to town on that foot because it's what's for dinner haha

Like I said...complete randomness

Every Day I Love You

For those of you who are not into the mushy I love you scene, you may want to look elsewhere for now...=) On October 3rd, we celebrated one of the most important days of the year, David's Birthday! Oh how I'm so grateful for this day, grateful that on this day the love of my life came into this world; because without it I wouldn't have him. Crazy to think that on this exact day, 9 YEARS AGO (WOW), we decided we were in love <3, total, mushy, annoyingly miraculous amazzzing love.  And I can honestly say on this day, I knew I had found the person I wanted to be with forever, for always. It's funny to think that two different people, with two different stories, that come from two completely different families, could really be so right for each other. That for this one moment in time we were both exactly who we needed to be for one another. For that connection we had, a bond so strong it couldn't be broken. He came into my life at a time when I needed him most and I believe I can say the same for him. It was just right, in every way possible. I am so thankful for how strong our foundation was--that even through all of the ups and downs, the doubts that others so easily expressed about our relationship, we still knew what we did for each other and in the end, we knew that THAT in itself was ALL that mattered. I'm thankful for them, for helping us to become even stronger, to fill each others void with the huge love we had for one another. Although so many things that happened with us over the years were merely coincidence, I can't help but think that it was our fate...fate to be able to spend the rest of eternity with our one true love. A love we fought for, protected, and strived to be better at every day.

High school days...where it all started

I love you David Gary Bishoff. I love your selflessness. I love how much you love me and show me on a daily basis. I love what a great father you have become (that I always knew you'd be). I love your drive to be a better person constantly. I love your big heart. I love that when there is someone standing on the side of the road with a sign you ALWAYS help them, not with money, but with what they need (food, gas, clothes) you are amazing for this. I love your happiness. I love your funny quirky personality. I love that you don't judge others, EVER! I love that you never give up on your dreams. I love that you make me want to be a better person. I love that you honor our God, our religion. I love that you say the best prayers ever =). I love that you never go without kissing me Good Morning and Goodnight. I love that you let me listen to my music on our road trips even though you hate it. I love that you would run to the store at midnight to get me a pepsi if I asked =). I love that you watch Grey's Anatomy with me. I love that you are just as crazy as I am and don't care who knows it. I love your honesty and integrity. I love that you are so caring and compassionate. I love that we can finish each others sentences no matter what the conversation is about. I love you, all of you, to the moon and back.

I love looking back at all of our pictures together, if only I had time to add more...So many hairstyles along the way haha...

You are my everything, my better half, my lover bum--thank you in advance for giving me a reason to feel thankful and blessed every day for the rest of my life. xoxo

As dorky as this picture is I love it--I had to get my whole body into it to get his ring on =)

 

Celebrating Daddy's B-Day, watching Transformers, loungin in PJ's and eating lots and lots of popcorn and icecream =)

 I love our fairytale.....Happy Birthday baby

The Big 5!

 

Guess Who's 5 Months Old?!?!

THIS GUY!!!

Although B has changed so so much in this past month there are some things that have stayed the same. Both his weight and height are the exact same as last month, so no new news on his stats. But on a different note this kid is changing so much right before my eyes. It seems like he is constantly learning and trying new things. I think this past month going from 4 to 5 months, I've noticed the biggest changes thus far. I don't even feel like I have a baby anymore, I feel like he's so much more grown up than he's supposed to be--I know that's probably just the mom in me haha. Some new things this month are:

* Able to fit into 6 month clothes now (for the most part)

* Still in size 2 diapers

* Has the biggest smile and loves to show it off to any and everyone

* Will smile and laugh at anyone, but once they make him laugh he will turn his head and dig it into my shoulder to shy away, then look back and do it all over again, it's the cutest thing.

* He has become a drool machine, even more so than before. The poor guy is constantly getting rashes on his chest and neck because it's constantly wet =(.

* He loves to watch Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before going to bed.

* Some of his favorite cartoons are Mickey Mouse and Dinosaur Train.
* He rolls everywhere, if he needs to get to a toy or closer to mom or dad he'll roll--definitely totally mobile!

* He can almost sit by himself completely.

* Loves to play and look at himself in the mirror.

* Has started to become a better traveler.

* Is getting better at holding his toys and getting a good grip on them to pass them from one hand to the other.

* Loves to make funny noises with his mouth and sticks his tongue out constantly.

* He gets a kick out of us when we click our tongue at him or make popping noises with our mouths.

* Moves his arms and legs up and down really fast while drooling all over the place when he gets really excited.

* Has mastered eating from a spoon and is starting to like his rice cereal more & more.

* Seems like he is starting to recognize his name when we say it.

* If we are anywhere other than home he will not go to sleep unless we are doing squats with him...BOO!

*Loves just hanging out with dad and watching whatever he is doing.

*Definitely knows who mom and dad are and is becoming a little bit clingy, (I can't say I don't like this though, I think it's adorable.)

I know there are probably so many more things that have changed within this one short month, but for now I'll leave it at that.  Being a mother is by far the most rewarding thing I have ever been blessed to do and I couldn't be more grateful to have this sweet sweet little boy to call ours.

Our Visit to Sevier County

This past weekend we went up to Sevier County for Grandma Bishoff's 74th Birthday! But we all know she's still really only 25 =). She's such an amazing woman and I am so happy to be able to call her one of my awesome grandma's. Things are so much more fun with her around and I can only hope that when I get to that same point in my life that I have that great outlook and perspective on life that she does.  We don't get to see all of the cousins and aunts & uncles too often, so that made things even more fun to see everyone and catch up on everyone's life and all of their fun new adventures. I can't even believe I did not take ONE SINGLE PICTURE the whole day! I blame it on all the fun havoc and chaos we were all causing! Oh and the one minor detail that Beckahm is trying to keep me in shape by being my STRICT personal training baby and making me hold him and squat it up ALL DAY LONG! I can honestly say I was feeling the burn in my legs for the next three days after our little adventure. But it was better than hearing his sad little cry so I surrendered...

We stayed at David's Parent's house and woke up the next morning to watch some of conference and eat some of his dad's amazing cooking before we went over to Salina to say a quick hello before heading back to St. George. We were so happy that Aunt Kristen was able to make it down for the day so we could see her and hear all about her business trip to San Francisco. She brought us all sorts of goods from her trip- David's sporting his shirt in the pics; she's always so thoughtful, we just love her so much! I could go on and on about how great she is, but we'll save that for an upcoming post of her Birthday =). It was so good to see the family, I just wish it could happen more often. But of course we got pictures while we were in Salina because Kristen and I bring out the picture taking fanatic in each other. Here's a couple just to show our fun day visiting.
