Liam the walking man!

2009-02-03T07:24:00.000-08:00

Liam just started walking out of no where a couple days ago! He's really trying to walk everywhere. Jon and I are so proud of him!

crazy babe.

long time, no update.

2008-12-10T20:13:00.000-08:00

LIAM IS SO BIG!

I haven't updated in a long time, I know.

Jon just left for Afghanistan almost a week ago. It is pretty hard. Liam and I miss him a lot.

I am going to Florida to visit in a week for a couple weeks. I am looking forward to that.

A Bunch of Pictures!

2008-09-04T15:05:00.001-07:00

BABY BURRITO!

MMM.. NANNERS! Liam loved eating bananas out of this thing. He cried when I took it away to fill it up with more banana.

Is this illegal? i took pictures of professional pictures. I dont think it is because I'm not printing them. Anyway, I LOVE these pictures! Some are blurry though, sorry.

Liam and his Raffe.

Me and Daddy.

2008-08-16T09:06:00.000-07:00

Liam loves to watch TV with his daddy.

And Liam just started doing this really silly talking thing, and i caught it on camera. He cracks me up! I'm about to upload it. He loves talking to his Raffe. It was a present from his Mi Mi before he was born.

back home.

2008-08-13T10:04:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the crazy man!

We are back home and in the normal routine again, after almost 2 months! Liam is getting sillier and sillier! is that a word? He is getting more silly! He has been rolling around and yesterday he started sticking his toungue out a lot.

Our little swimmer!

2008-08-06T09:17:00.001-07:00

Liam loves the water!

Coming Home Once Again.

2008-06-23T16:42:00.000-07:00

We are coming home!
Well, at least Liam and I are coming home. Jon has training for a month in California. I'll leave June 29th and leave Florida on July 22nd. So 3 weeks. But of course I am really sad that Jon will be away from us for that long.
Well, anyway here are some pictures I had snapped this past week.

His new toys from his Granna.

One of my birthday presents from Jon, him putting Liam to sleep.

He just started Thumbsucking.

Our Little Kickboxer.

All Smiles.

2008-06-18T12:59:00.000-07:00

Just some pictures I took today. He is such a smiley baby.

explanation.

2008-06-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

okay, here is a little explanation.. i didnt have time to explain the last video. Liam was doing this crazy thing that had jon and I laughing so hard. we were at our WIC appointment, and Jon would pinch Liam's cheeks (like in the video) and EVERYTIME Liam would stick out his tongue.. i wish he did it like he did earlier. But Liam always gets weird around the camera.. but i thought i would add it anyway because i was telling my mom about it.
Jon had a good Father's Day. We have had cook outs at our house the past couple days.. it was so much fun. Liam had a little episode tonight that really had me freaking out. Jon was changing Liam's diaper and had him on the couch laying down.. well Jon's friend sat down by him a little too close and his Dip container kinda dug into Liam's head when he sat down.. i wasnt even in the room. i just heard this CRAZY cry, i didnt even know what it was. and i ran into the room trying to find out what it was, and Jon was holding Liam real tight and Liam was freaking out. so i rush in there asking what happened? and no one would tell me until a few seconds later. He actually had in indentation in his head. at least it was on the hard part of his head, on his forehead. so i picked him up and after a while he stopped and looked and smiled over at Odle. (he's the one that accidently kinda sat on him) but i went and took him to the Nursery and just started crying..but he was fine and smiling. it just scared me soo bad. im still kinda freaking out.
my birthday is in a week.
and then Jon is leaving a week after that for training for a month. ugh.

little weirdo.

2008-06-15T12:16:00.001-07:00

Liam is 3 months old!

2008-06-05T09:29:00.001-07:00

He's grabbing his toys now. He likes his monkey, and his book. He just needs to get better at being able to play by himself.

He is getting so big!

And then some pictures of my flowers, because my mom wanted to see them.

these roses span about 6-8 feet across the house.. its nuts.

random.

2008-06-05T09:15:00.000-07:00

At the Phillip's. They are like our new best friends. They are letting us borrow the bumbo.. their baby boy's legs are too fat.. he's 8 months i think.. he is so cute! i need to put up some pictures.

see, he does like the bumbo.

Liam right after church. I love his moccasins.

That's him right now. he's still sleeping.

Temple

2008-05-20T09:00:00.001-07:00

2008-05-20T08:56:00.000-07:00

I forgot a couple.

Home Sweet Home

2008-05-19T10:57:00.000-07:00

We just got home from our visit back to Florida on Thursday.

It was a great visit.

Liam was so good on the plane too.. he just slept the whole time both times.

We got sealed in the Orlando Temple.

It was so wonderful, it was so nice to be in there with Jon.. and the baby.

It was the first time Jon had been in a temple, let alone seen one.. he loved it.

I love seeing how he has grown in the Gospel, he is so strong. He gets excited about everything, it is so sweet.

anyway, here are some pictures from the trip.. and then i will post a slideshow i made of the temple pictures that were taken, by Adam.

These are ones taken after we got back.

ACHOO!

those were pictures take yesterday before he got his first shots.

it was so sad :(

Going Home.

2008-05-01T19:23:00.000-07:00

This past week I've been preparing for our trip home.
I am so excited.
Jon and I are going to get sealed in the Orlando Temple on the tenth! And Liam is going to get blessed the next day (mother's day). It's going to be the first time Jon has been in the temple, so I am happy i get to be there to see him witness it for the first time.
We plan on going to Busch Gardens.. I just really want to ride some rollar coasters. But I'm going to miss Liam so much, I've never been away from him more than an hour.
Liam has been such a good boy lately. He is so smiley! It's so easy to get him to smile and laugh.. well he kinda laughs.. his laughing is him gasping for air. its hard to explain.

But I will definetely have some pictures up in a week or so.

My little Samoan.

2008-04-19T11:05:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a stake leadership meeting for Young Women.
Liam was so good.. he didnt fuss at all and was the most smiley he has ever been, he was almost laughing. it was sweet.
tonight Jon and I will be going to a youth dance. Its a Luau. (sp?) He has a really cute Hawaiian outfit but its 3-6 months, so its a little big. The hat is way too big.

he went right to sleep after these pictures, as you can probably tell.

And I took some pictures of Jon and Liam napping. i thought it was sweet how they both had their arms doing the same thing.

Liam just squirming around.

2008-04-17T13:10:00.001-07:00

Outside!

2008-04-15T13:36:00.000-07:00

It felt really nice outside so we brought Liam out. I think he liked it alot.

It was really fun. He was so sweet.

I love his jumpsuit that is really small on him. I think that's why I love it so much.

He's a fatty.

Nap Time

2008-03-27T13:09:00.001-07:00

Pop Pop and MiMi

2008-03-25T12:36:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day its just Liam and I. He has been fussy alot the past couple days. He's been very good today though, besides peeing through his diaper and all over me. But since he's zonked out on his swing I thought that I should update this with all the pictures of him with his family.

This is the first picture taken of Liam with his Pop Pop.

Liam and his MiMi.

Easter.

Meet the Grandparents

2008-03-25T12:01:00.000-07:00

In these past couple of weeks Liam has gotten to meet all of his grandparents and one uncle. Last week Grandma (Jon's mom) and Uncle Sam came and stayed.

And then this past weekend Ganpa and Granna (Jon's dad and stepmom) came and visited.

bassinette, the other white meat.

2008-03-13T10:17:00.000-07:00

i know i seem horrible for letting him be hungry.. but he wasnt fussing at all. My mom and I just happened to walk by and see him doing this. And then once i saw him getting upset i went and fed him.
