What's So Funny?

I was getting Deacon dressed and I accidentally hit the doorstop. It made that funny sound which Deacon must have thought was pretty funny, because he started laughing so hard! I grabbed the camera and recorded this:

Deacon's First Christmas!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I know we did. Deacon made sure of that! Christmas Eve was crazy! Terry got stuck in a major accident on I-15 and almost missed Santa, my car got stuck in the snow in my dad's driveway and had to be towed out, and we hit a major snowstorm on the way home. Luckily we made it home safely so we could enjoy Christmas day. Santa brought me a new laptop (yay!) which I am breaking in right now, and Terry got a snowblower. Deacon got a crazy bouncer which he won't be able to use for a month or so, but I bet he's excited!

Jill's friend Bill got Deacon to laugh for the first time!

Sittin' on Santa's lap!

Deacon screamed when Santa walked in, but finally settled down to sit on the big guy's lap

All cozy in my pj's!

Yumm...Terry's favorite

Playing with Grandma Jill!

Happy Christmas!

2 Months Old!

Little Deke is 2 months old! Okay, it was officially on the 22nd, but I still don't have a computer so I'm behind on this kind of stuff. He is also an official lardbutt! Call it what you want - lardlad, chunky butt, oinker, dough boy, this kid is big! He went to the doc on Thursday and he weighs 14 pounds! He only weighed 9 at his last appointment. Yup, that's 5 pounds in 2 months. He is definitely getting harder to carry, but it's worth it! I just make Terry carry him in the carseat since I have no muscles. I know Deacon will kill me in the future for posting this picture, but he's just so cute! And fat!!

Random pics

Double Dizzle (as Terry calls him) is growing so fast! He goes to the doctor on Thursday for his 2 month checkup and we are betting he weighs about 12 pounds. He finally likes having his diaper changed and is starting to like bathtime, but he is still not sleeping through the night! He is on a strict eating schedule during the day (every 3 hours) and I finally caved and gave him rice cereal before bedtime. No luck! The little stinker is still waking up every 3-4 hours! It's a good thing he is so cute, or else I'd have to sell him! Enjoy the random pics of cute outfits.

Rockin' it in my overalls

All ready for bedtime! Too bad I don't sleep...

Ready to play ball! Thanks Aunt Tammy for this cute outfit.

Death in the family

It is with a heavy heart that I annouce the passing of a beloved family member. My laptop passed away Sunday morning from a burned out screen. This laptop was only in the family for a few years and was basically a piece of crap from the get-go, but he will be missed. He is survived by Terry's laptop which will now get to play double duty as the only computer in the family. If my posts are few and far between with no pictures, you know why!!

Happy Halloween!

Deacon's first Halloween went pretty good (I know it's early, but who's counting?) We went to a lovely party hosted by my sister in-law Jenny in the beautiful land of Eden. Since Deacon doesn't have a say in his choice of costume, he got to be a puppy this year. The outfit lasted approximately 10 minutes before Deacon let me know he wanted it off! Too bad, because I thought he was a pretty cute puppy!

That is one cute puppy!

A monkey, a bunny, and a puppy (aka cousins Beckam, Addison and Deacon)

The boys post costume

Look! It's Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin! Okay, it's really Jed and Jenny

Where's my costume you say? Umm, yeah, I'll get back to you on that!
