RANDOM...

It's rare to take a picture of him without his little tongue poking out!

He's such a little man!! :)

Never fails...more little tongue!

If you look closely you can see his little teeth coming in.

This is how I usually find him after his nap, playing with his giraffe that I don't know how he reaches b/c it sits on the corner of the crib, and kicking back and relaxing.

Don't be fooled...he can't quite sit up on his own. This was right before he fell over. We're working on it though.

And of course...one of OUR PHONES!


So, Blake is going to be 7 months next week...crazy how time passes so fast! He's growing so fast, it seems like each week I'm putting away more and more close because he doesn't fit in them anymore. It's kind of sad. :( But, that just means I get to take out bigger clothes that are OH SO CUTE!

The weather has been really nice lately and we've taken advantage of that by going on walks. There is a park within walking distance from our house that we go to often. Obviously he can't do much on the playground, but he loves the swing! It's all fun until he tries to grab the handles for sucking! YUCK! But, anything in reach is going in the mouth!

Also...this is big! Erik and I finally have a house phone! We've been married over 3 years and have never had a house phone since our cell phones were just fine. Now that we live in this ancient house the cell phone service is terrible so we did it...we hooked up a house phone! It's crazy how this little thing is so exciting. Sad, but true.

6 Months!

Blake had his 6 month check up this past week. He sure is growing like a weed! Everyday is something new with him...he's such an entertainer and easily entertained!

He weighs 18 lbs! It's in the 5oth percentile, I actually thought it would be in a higher percentile...guess not.

He's 24 inches long. That is actually in the 90th percentile. I guess he's going to have some height on him. Doesn't surprise me, Erik and I aren't the shortest!

I'm not totally sure what his head circumference is, but it's in the 50th percentile. I was shocked about that percentile too...I thought his head was WAAAAAAY on the larger side...guess not.

He's such a happy and fun baby, the video I posted just shows how happy he is! Of course he has his moments...but not very often. :) We love you Blake!

BYU-14 OU-13!

How could we forget Blake? He's our future Cougar!

My best friend from middle school...we haven't seen each other in about 14 years!

This was after the game. It sure cleared out fast, but we were in no hurry to rush to the car and sit in traffic!

The huge screens! There are actually 4! 2 HUGE and 2 smaller ones

The OU band opened the game. This was pretty neat how they stood in the OU letters.

Both headed coaches having a chat before the game

The stadium from where we parked

What an exciting weekend we had. We drove down with my parent's to Dallas to be a part of the BYU/OU game. My brother lives just outside of Dallas, so we left Blake with my sis-in-law (thanks Loren!) and we all headed to Arlington! Erik and I were torn between who to cheer for since he just graduated from BYU and now attends OU. It was tough. We did end up wearing OU gear, but most of the screaming happened when BYU had the action! We were in the OU section and I know people were looking at us like we were crazy and not to happy with us....wearing Oklahoma but cheering BYU?? We didn't care..we really wanted BYU to win!! It was close, but a good result!

The new stadium is another story. That place is HUGE! It holds about 80,000 people and has huge TV screens that stretch from one 20 yard line to the other 20 yard line. Talk about ULTIMATE HD!

The attendance at the game was close to 75,000.....and it definitely looked like it!

Our seats were pretty high, but there really isn't a bad seat in the house since you have the gigantic TV above you!

We knew a ton of people that were going to the game and one family in particular was fun to see! I've been keeping in touch on Facebook with a best friend of mine from middle school when I lived in Florida. She told me she was going to the game with her whole family and so we thought it would be so fun to meet up and have our families catch up! It was so fun to see them after all these years...Facebook really brings people together!! :)
