Thanksgiving...

(Right before we went to bed..) Orry's cute bib that i had to buy because it was like 2 bucks. We didn't use it as you can tell...We Love This Happy Boy!


Yesterday morning we woke up at 6. I made a couple of pies that my dad always makes, banana cream. It turned out really well, better than I thought it would, but it still wasn't the same as when my dad makes it. everything tastes better when someone else makes it. Toby went with a few buddies to go play church football all morning, which was nice i just got what I needed to done, which wasn't much. I Tried to make a pomegranate salad, but the ones i got weren't ripe at all. But I did make some stove top stuffing. :).. candied yams and deviled eggs. We had plans to go over to Brittany and Nate's house. She prepared the whole meal, I just brought those few things I had made. We went over there at around 1, after driving and turning around twice for things... When we walked in everything was so perfect and smelled so yummy! I was so excited!..it all tasted so good!! After dinner we played Settlers of Catan. It was fun. Nate won. It's kind of tricky playing games when you're taking care of a baby... We went to Nates dad's house to visit their family. His family thinks we should enter Orry into contests, that he just has the perfect face. :) he does. When we got back to Brittany's house we ate our pies -banana cream, pecan, and apple. Pecan was my favorite. We all played guitar hero, the band one (Toby was the singer...) for a while and then we went home, Orry was getting tired, so was I. Orry ate and pretty much fell right asleep. I was on the couch, really comfortable and felt too heavy to move, so I stayed sleeping there. Overall It was a good day.

The Incline...

Yesterday was Veterans Day so Toby and Chelsea (our friend from AIT) had work off. We decided to go and try the incline, Toby had done it once before.
This Incline is about 3000 dirt wood stairs... there is no railing or place to stop and rest...at some points i was on all fours because it was too big of step and too steep i didn't want to fall down...it took about and hour and a half to get up the mountain... it was HARD!!! after staying and home with Orry all day everyday, not doing much exercise, and then trying to climb up a mountain...needless to say i am very very sore. here are some pictures...


we were still driving when i took this pic.... the incline is that line you see in the middle of that mountain.

Dad and Baby before we started...

Our family, before i got my clothes all dirty... i will never do this in jeans again.

And we're off...Chelsea and Toby were ahead of me, which makes sense because they're in shape. i felt bad i felt like i was holding them back the whole way, well because i was, they could have gotten to the top much faster without me...

chelsea made it to the top first... she took this pic of toby and orry just about there.

I'm almost there, on all fours. we ran into the bishop of the military ward and his wife... that was a good movitation booster... he is just down the stairs from me in this pic his wife is just a little down from him...

our start down the trail... i think orry had a bunch of fun. he Loves being outside and just looked around for the 2, 2 and a half hours we were out...

me and chelsea ready to run down the trail... yes i ran down in jeans...like i said, never again.

Orry 6 Months = Shots...

Orry was officially 6 months old last monday. Weird. 6 months! for his half birthday we went to the doctor to get shots... it's been a tough week for the family. He had a fever for a few days, would hardly eat and was really whiny all week long. we love him though, so its okay. Here are a few pictures from this past week... We love our Oreo.


Orry loves the bathroom. He Loves looking in the mirror and talking to himself. He also loves bath time! He really is the sweetest baby...




Brittany Orry and I went to michaels after getting the swine flu vaccine last thursday and we decided to put Orry in the cart for his first time... He loved it for the first little while... but i think he used too many tummy muscles and wanted OUT!


This past Saturday downtown co springs had a Veterans Day parade. We went with a few friends of ours, Brittany, Brandon, Stephanie and her parents, who came down for a week... it was fun, for the first hour anyway... we left before it ended because it felt like it was never going to...

Carson being so cute waving the flags. We gave Orry a flag and it went Straight to the mouth... we decided that wasn't a good idea...

...instead we let him chew on a little frisbee...

Me and Brittany... and of course Orry with his frisbee..

This is Stephanie's parents. They were Very nice people. We went over to Stephanie's to watch a football game and OH THE FOOD... it was so awesome. good thing her parents are only here for a week or so or we'd all weigh a million pounds!

Japanese Habachi...

So since Toby has been home, we have been eating Really well... TOO well, I've gained a few pounds... but this past saturday our friends Brittany and Nate invited us to go to dinner with them. Considering it was Toby's favorite place to eat we weren't gonna turn that down. Our chef was really good too, he lit his hand on fire, i had never seen that before...


Orry was TOTALLY interested with what was going on. He was eying all that food, too bad he cant eat any of it...

Orry was only in his seat for a few minutes... He's doing pretty good with sitting up. He sure loves those little toesies.

Orry and Dad...

Nate and Brittany...
