McCoy loves shoes. He always wants to put them on and walk around in them. Trevor took this a little while ago of McCoy finally being able to walk in daddy's flip flops. Enjoy.

Flip Flops

This past weekend we got to make homemade cotton candy with Trev's family. It was seriously such a blast and we all got to enjoy amazing cotton candy sponsered by the Hobson family. Thanks guys! 

Trevor made this cotton candy cone for me. He did a pretty good job and it's HUGE!! Wish you all could have been there. 

a very belated post

It's taken me some time to post on this very big event in our family because I was waiting to get some pictures to share. I am so proud and excited to share this amazing milestone in our lives.

We've got a college graduate.

I am so so so proud of my hubby! I can't believe he actually graduated. We were so close to giving up this past summer. He had been going to school for such a long time and still had so much more ahead of him. Trevor was getting so frustrated especially because school is probably his least favorite thing to spend his time doing. He went to a councilor that finally helped him decide what was best for him and his personality. He came home that afternoon and told me that he was going to graduate in the spring of 2011. I can't believe it's here and I am so proud and excited that he did it! He even got higher than a B in every single class since his major change while even taking 18 credits in the fall semester.

WE LOVE YOU TREV!! McCoy and I are so proud of you!

I got some pictures from Traci over this past weekend and there are some that I definitely couldn't help but to share.

Look how precious my little Coy Boy is! He is absolutely going to be daddy's little sports boy. He loves anything that spins and anything he can throw.

This picture just melts my heart. His adorable, innocent and chocolate-brown eyes are to die for. He's so sweet and so loving. He loves to give hugs and kisses. He's learned to be soft and sweet and every time it melts my heart...every single time!!
Here's a video Trevor took while he was playing in the nursery room at Connor's Seminary graduation.

McCoy shoots...and he SCORES!

These are some pictures we took on Easter Sunday
Look at that smile in these two pictures! McCoy cracks me up!

Family Pictures

Ruby is so sweet. Look at this pose. I couldn't help but to share this.

McCoy and Ruby love each other so much already. They play so well and I love seeing them interact and learn from each other. I hope they grow up to be best friends.

McCoy loves playing with other kids! He loves when he gets to play with his cousins. This picture makes me laugh so hard. That graduation weekend David and Traci were kind enough to watch the munchkins while we all got to go out to a movie. It's such a classic picture. They also had video of what was going on and it was hilarious. Ruby was hitting Beckham's head while he was saying soft over and over. Kaden was jumping of the desk and almost landed on McCoy once, haha, and David was laying flat on the ground playing "Air Plane" with all the kiddies. So adorable.

We also got to see our sweet sister-in-law, Brittany who's prego with a baby girl. The first grand child on David's side of the family. David has 5 boys and no girls so I'm excited to see how David does with a little girl. He still says he'll believe it's a girl when he sees it.
Again with McCoy's cheesy but yet so adorable smile.
And his adorable brown eyes.

Happy Thursday

McCoy has been learning so much lately. He can now say about 10 words that we understand and has many other word that only he understands. He follows instructions and can understand what Trevor and I say to him. McCoy can identify almost all the parts of his face as well as his head, toes (which he can say as well), hands, fingers and belly is his favorite. No matter what he's doing, if you ask him, "McCoy, where's your belly?" He immediately responds by pulling his shirt up and squishing his stomach in with his hand as if his belly is some sort of jell-o.

Another thing that McCoy has been learning to do is feed himself. He really enjoys feeding himself, although it does take him a lot longer to accomplish the task, he does end up eating more-which is splendid. Trevor was having a hard time getting him to spoon things out of a bowl with out the bowl slipping around. I received this picture at work one day with Trevor's new invention.

Yummy Soup
McCoy has also discovered our utensil drawer in the kitchen. He's now tall enough and strong enough to open the drawer by himself and pull everything in that drawer out of it. His newest favorite utensil to play with is the pizza cutter. Of course, because it resembles a wheel. In fact, he even drives it around like it is a car. He loves it.

A few weeks ago, Trevor and McCoy went to a Rugby game. McCoy loves being outside and sometimes a little too much. He had already gotten enough sun for the day and it was really hot. Trevor was trying to come up with an idea to keep McCoy cool and happy. I laughed when I saw these pictures. The head band didn't make McCoy too happy but he actually liked the turban idea dad came up with when he got this shirt wet and rapped it on McCoy's head. But hey, at least it kept him cool and kind of out of the sun.

Random pictures of the day:) I couldn't help it.

This is one of Trevor's many outfits that he puts on him...more like just adds to what he was wearing. The shorts are his pj shorts, the shoes are more like sock shoes, with no socks, his onesie is unbuttoned (we call it his barn door/flap/loin cloth....etc, when it's hanging out like that ) and then he's wearing his jacket on top of it all. On a regular basis, I usually come home to a little boy looking kind of homeless. Although Trevor doesn't have the best taste in what to put McCoy in, at least he is a willing father to make sure McCoy is always enjoying himself. They're always doing so many fun things. Trevor makes sure he's fed, had good naps and always bathed. McCoy and he have bonded so well in the past few months. They're inseparable little buddies now. I LOVE IT!!

There is sunshine in my soul!

The weather was so nice last week and we were so lucky to have time off from school and work to enjoy it. My parents are letting us borrow a baby seat that is made for a bicycle. McCoy absolutely loves it! It's the best thing we could ever use. McCoy loves anything with wheels and since he's obviously too small to ride any bike, this seat has given us the best chance to let him enjoy the wheels of a bike to it's fullest. He couldn't be happier! 

 During that week we also got the chance to go to the park with cousin Steele and Emily. McCoy and Steele both absolutely love being out in the warm sun and now that they're both big enough to play on the big toy themselves, it makes it that much better. (Link below)

Park Fun

 Of course, here's McCoy playing in the sand and enjoying it more than anything else. 

 There was a river right by the park we were at up the Provo Canyon. McCoy loved that too. In fact, after showing him how cold the water was by putting his hands in it, he still wanted to go running right into the water. 

 We finally helped him to realize that throwing rocks into the river was a lot more fun and he enjoyed that for about 20 min. 

  We brought my longboard up the canyon with us and it was really fun to ride on it with the boys. McCoy is crying in the picture because he never wanted the ride to stop but at the bottom of the hill, of course we had to go back to the top before we could keep going...this didn't make him too happy, until we starting going down again:) (Link Below) 

Longboard Riding

The next day, Trev and I packed everything up to go on a fun camping trip. Trevor's sister, Nicole went with us and I had made some delicious tinfoil dinners for that night. (Link Below)

Our Campsite

 Check out his little camping chair! He seriously loved that thing. I know I've showed other pictures of him in it but since he could sit in a chair like that while we were sitting in similar chairs made him love it even more. 

 McCoy took this picture of Daddy and Aunt Nicole. 

 We brought our little scooter with us up there and like I've mentioned before, McCoy will do anything to play with wheels or anything that has wheels. Trev finally figured out a way to ride on the scooter with him. Check it out, it's super cute. (Link Below) 

McCoy rides like a big boy

 There was a spot full of gravel and McCoy played in it like it was sand. It kept him happy for quite some time while we finished setting up camp. 

 Enjoying the fire with Daddy!

McCoy went down pretty well that night. We packed so many blankets and got him bundled up to stay warm for the night. At about 2:30 in the morning, we woke up to the smell of throw up. Our poor little man had thrown up in his bed and was really sick. We packed up what we needed and headed back down the mountain and slept the rest of the night at Traci's. Poor guy threw up like 6 times that night and he was sick throwing up for the next 3 days. Here's a video that Trev took the day after the camping trip. (Link Below) 

Sick baby boy

Since it's been a tad rainy lately and we were so used the being out in the sun so much, we found a way to keep McCoy kind of entertained on our days off. He loves it! Check it out! (Link Below)
