Photos by Brody

So the other day I was downloading some pictures and working on the blog. Brody came in and grabbed the camera and wanted to take some pictures. So I turned it on and showed him what button to push and he was off. He had some hits and some misses but I thought overall he did a really good job. Here are his photos.

Picture of his dinosaurs. His fingers got in the way a little.

Picture of his feet.

I thought this one was great, I couldn't believe he took it!

Oops there's those darn fingers again :)

Connor 5 Months

So while we were on vacation Connor turned 5 months old. On Thursday, July 22, right before we left Connor rolled over for the first time. He had rolled from his tummy to his back but this was the first time he went from back to tummy. As soon as he did it he became a master roller and just started rolling all over the place. He is really close to crawlin. He pushes up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He can definitely scoot all over the place just no actual crawling quite yet. As for his diet I have been giving him a tablespoon of rice cereal in his bottle for about a month because he needed a little extra to hold him through the night. When we got back from our trip we started him on oatmeal and some fruits and veggies. He LOVES to eat. He's a really good eater and so far seems to like, peaches, apples, bananas, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes and peas. He is still a pretty good sleeper. He takes two naps a day which are usually anywhere from one to two hours long. He goes to bed around 9 and usually wakes up around 7:30. I'm taking him to the doctor on Thursday for his 6 month checkup. I can't wait to see how big he's gotten. Until then here are some pics and videos of him over the last month.

Loves all kinds of different toys and they all go straight in the mouth.

While we were in NM he held his bottle for the first time.

Loves to bounce.

More food please!



Eating for the first time.

He's very vocal!

Sydna and Shane's Wedding

On August 7th Syd and Shane got married for the second time. They had a small ceremony last year and then this year was the big wedding. Saturday morning was pretty mellow we all woke up and helped clean up from the night before. That afternoon all the girls headed over to India's house and the boys headed to Kelley and Eric's to get ready for the wedding. Syd had Natalie, a friend of ours from high school do her hair and makeup. A bunch of girls came to the house and we all drank mimosas and got ready. After that we headed to Sabroso's for the wedding. We got there and snuck Syd into the back room where she got dressed and we did all the finishing touches. I wasn't sure how Brody was going to do as the ring bearer but he did a pretty good job. He made it all the way down the isle holding my hand and then when we got to the stage he handed me the pilow and went over to daddy. He came back and forth throughout the ceremony and by the end him and Bianca traded and he had the flower girl basket and she had the pillow. The ceremony was beautiful. One of my favorite moments was in the middle of the ceremony Shane's niece Bianca looks at me and says "I like your shoes" (in her English accent), I smiled at her and apparently that wasn't good enough because then she looks at me and a little louder says "I said I LIKE YOUR SHOES"! Everyone cracked up laughing, it was just too cute. Right after the ceremony we took pictures. We all panicked a little when it started to sprinkle but it quickly blew over and no damage was done. After pictures was dinner, dancing and lots of fun. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the photo booth. It was so fun, Brody loved it. The band was great and everyone seemed to have a great time. Afterwards we headed back to my parents house for the after party. It was such a fun night. We love you Syd and Shane, congrats!!!
