it's the random post

I want to get back to blogging again. 

Real blogging, with actual words.

I need to. I want to remember these days with my cute baby.

Since July is my most favorite month, I am hoping for a blog everyday. We will see if I can deliver! It shouldn't be hard with this cute face around.

Things have been so good at our house.

Dustyn is out of school for the summer, so we just chill and hang out together all day. I love it. I am already dreading school starting again. Luckily we still have another month and a half.

Dustyn and I had the opportunity to attend a Yearbook Camp up at Snowbird. We took 4 students with us. It was a lot of fun and even more work. I am glad we were able to go, but I missed my baby way too much. I don't think anyone will ever be able to convince me to leave him again. We found out as soon as we were up there that we could have taken him. I was pretty bummed. I know he had fun at grandpa and grandma's house, but we sure missed him. We were gone for three days. Of course I didn't even take one picture. I left my camera with Grandpa and Grandma.

I am so excited it's July! I am sure you all remember how much I love July! I am so excited for the 4th! G is too! I picked out his 4th of July outfit long before he was born. I haven't even tried it on him because I am trying to save it for the big day! So exciting!

As many of you know, Gage is getting a few more cousins within the next year. Hooray. I am so excited, but more about that later. We are hoping for at least one boy. :) 

Dustyn and I went to Eclipse with Jace and Katie. It was pretty fun. The theater we went to was terrible. The sound was horrible. Gage didn't mind. He slept the entire time. Of course. (did I mention he's the best baby ever?) 

(after the movie at Jace and Katie's House)

This was his 2nd movie. His first was the A-Team at the drive-in. He did awesome during that movie too. Me on the other hand... I totally missed the whole movie. I was completely distracted and couldn't tell what was being said. Really? I wasted my 5 bucks. I can't wait to go again! I love the drive-in. I think Toy Story 3 is there this weekend. We might have to go to another movie! It has been months since we have been to a movie, I guess now we are trying to pack them all in and make up for lost time. I don't mind. 

I love being a mother. I love Gage more than ever. He's such a cute boy and is always smiling. He is a very content baby. He sleeps so good. We are so blessed to be a part of his life. We are so grateful to Korin. I miss her so much and I wish I could see her and give her a big hug and thank her for making us parents. She is my hero. I love her more than I can express.

I am reminded of her every time I look at my baby boy. I love that Gage looks just like her. His eyes, his smile, his hair. Everything. You can most definitely tell where he came from! I love that I have that little reminder of Korin every day. It always brings a smile to my face. The older he gets, the more of her we see in him. 

Gage went on his first camping trip a few weeks ago! He loved it. It rained pretty much the entire time so we stayed in the tent where it was nice and warm. This is what Gage thought of that.

Gage has some crazy hair. I love it.

It gets more and more unmanageable everyday. I can't get it to stay down or stand up. It has a mind of it's own and does what it wants. It is getting so thick and so long. I can't imagine having to cut it. We'll see just how crazy it gets.

These are some pictures from Katie's birthday on Tuesday. He wore this shirt just for her! (she bought it for him. It says, "Auntie said I could")

(I can not resist this face)

Life is pretty great. For sure.
