Pics for Family....

We haven't posted on the blog in a while because we've been really busy and because we're a bit lazy. Anyway, this post is dedicated to Ever's family who hasn't seen Ezra for a few months and who continues to call us about updating the blog. We don't really have anything to post about so we'll just overwhelm you with pictures! :)

He really enjoys bath time

Going Back to Cali

Sorry it's taken me an eternity to post again! For some reason I go through spurts where I feel like I'm so busy that I can't keep up with everything. When that happens, I get WAY behind on the blog! Anyway, we had a great trip to California and really enjoyed the cabin trip and seeing our good friends the Radcliffe's, Brower's, Checketts' and Thompson's again. I had fun, despite the fact that I was extrememly sleep deprived and therefore a bit cranky! Ezra had fun playing with the Brower's little girl Audrey and when the Thompson's brought their new baby Audrey up too it was just a house full of dirty diapers and sweet baby smiles.

After the cabin we headed south to LA for the Dodgers Home Opener. Ever has been going with our friend Mike Wilcox for the past 4 years and has been looking forward to taking Ezra ever since we found out we were going to have a baby. This year I got to go too and Mike's brother 'Q' came along also. We ate at Phillipe's first (a sea of Dodger fans) and then were off to batting practice and the game! Dodger's won 5-0, no doubt because Ezra brought them good luck!

The next day we got to do something that I'd been looking forward to- Disneyland! It was a blast! Ever's mom got to go with us and witness Ezra's first trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! He had a lot of fun watching all the kids and we of course had a lot of fun watching him. He got his very own pair of Mickey Ears and looked pretty darn cute in them if I do say so myself! We can't wait to go back!

The last day of our trip I go to see my best friend Lori and do some shopping at Babies R Us (still a favorite hang out) for Ezra and her soon-to-arrive bundle 'Guido.' Ever and I also got to take Ezra to Barnes and Noble, one of our other greatly missed hang outs, and he got some fun new books to take home; his favorite is now "Ten Little Tadpoles" with the pop-up frogs at the end!

We always enjoy California and hope to be back again soon! Enjoy the pictures, we took a ton and believe it or not, these are just a few!

Traveling Man

Here are pictures from a couple more trips we've taken in the past month. For Ever's birthday in February we went to the Zion Mountain Resort just outside of Zion National Park. It snowed the whole time we were there and it was beautiful! Ezra loved being bundled up and taken out to play in the snow with mommy and daddy. Shortly after that trip Ever went up to Salt Lake on business and we went with him. Since Ezra was born just over 7 months ago he's been to Austin, TX, Zion Mountain Resort, Salt Lake and has made 5 trips (Soon to be 6) to California. He's a busy boy! Not the best picture of me, I'd just fallen in the snow up to my hip! It was deep!
King Ezra!
Look at that face- his, not mine!
We look like the mafia!
While daddy was at work in Salt Lake Ezra and I went to the aquarium.
We couldn't miss going to Temple Sqaure but we didn't stay long, it was too windy!
My favorite picture reminding us that the Savior made it possible for us to be an eternal family.

A New Don

We started Don Quixote last night and I'm afraid it's already gone to Ever's head. After just three chapters he was inspired to adopt a title himself so if you wouldn't mind, please address him from now on as "Don Everardo de Monclova." He travels the world with his son and heir "Ezra the Noble" and instead of a trusty steed he dashes into adventure with his overweight dog "Saint Spencer." I don't really think I play into the little fantasy very much, at least not until the hungry band of travelers come trooping home, then I'm known as "Kelsey the Cook." I wonder what ideas he'll pick up in the next three chapters? Perhaps we were better off just watching t.v. I love you babe! You really do make life an adventure and I wouldn't have it any other way!

T.V.-aholics

So lately Ever and I have been talking about how much junk there is on t.v. and how we spend a lot of time watching that junk. I mean I'm addicted to America's Next Top Model (don't ask me why, it's completely random) and Ever loves Lost and Heros and stuff like that.

We don't really agree on whose shows are worse since of course that's a matter of opinion. Naturally my opinion is the right one though! Anyway, we decided that we're going to seriously cut back on how much t.v. we watch. It's off most of the day but we really get sucked in during the evenings so that's where we're starting. Instead of sitting in front of the 'boob tube' we're going to try to read a book together as a family. Ever got to pick first (as usual) and he selected Don Quixote.

I haven't read that one yet and I was pleasantly surprised. So today Ezra and I are off to the library to pick up a copy so we can start it tonight. Anyone want to place any bets as to how long we'll be able to keep it up??? I know it's long but we want to finish the whole thing! Wish us luck!

Catch Up

It's been an eternity since I last posted and I'm sorry! Sometimes life just gets away from me and before I know it more than a month has past! There's too much to write since we've been on several trips since I last posted so I'll just put some pictures up instead and let them tell the story. They're not in chronological order so there are some that are way back from Christmas. My favorite Britney Spears shot of Ezra "driving" I just think it's a cute picture! Ezra with his daddy and his two cousins: Celest and Nathan
