Visitors of this blog

Last week my brother and sister-in-law posted on their blog that it is only fair if you can look at their blog, that you must leave them access to look at your blog. The same is true for me. As much as I appreciate nice comments, I would love to be able to see who exactly it is from and what their blog looks like. It really is only fair. Thank you.

Sweet and Sour

This past week has been mostly sour but semi-sweet. I have had a couple passings happen. One funeral was really sad but because of my faith, I know this person is in a better place. The other, my grandma, passed just today. Her funeral will be next week where I will fly to Seattle. I know that she too, is now in a better place with her husband who passed almost a decade ago. On a much lighter note, I booked our Cancun flights, took Kingston to Boo at the Zoo with Grandma Jones today, and I am going to Vegas with my husband soon. I must say, it has been a trying week, but it is important to always try and see the good in things. These are pictures from Boo at the Zoo. I also posted a picture from Cancun!

Viva Las Vegas....Again!

Okay so by now you are all probably thinking that Chez and I are addicted to Vegas or gambling because it seems like we go so often. There are a few reasons for that! First, you just can't beat the Allegiant Air ticket prices out of Idaho Falls. I just paid $130 roundtrip out of Idaho Falls to Las Vegas. That is unreal. Second, Chez and I have been going there together since I very first met his family and we watched his younger brother, Garrett, play soccer there. Plus, we have made a few of our own memories there. Third, the weather is gorgeous which makes for a really nice and relaxing weekend getaway. Fourth, we have the most perfect babysitters for Kingston back at home that we feel so blessed and happy to leave him with them (grandma and grandpa Jones)for a couple days while we enjoy eachother's company. And this time around, fifth, and most importantly....Chez did so well in his tennis league that they made it to Vegas for the finals. I will be watching him play all weekend which makes me happy because it makes him happy. There will be time for us to have fun and enjoy the town after his games of course, but this specific visit is because my husband is such a great tennis player!

Back from Seattle

Kingston and I went to Seattle all last week while Chez went on a business trip to Denver, then to Boise for a tennis tournament. Kingston and I had so much fun. I got to meet my new niece and nephew. They are soooo cute. My niece is so tiny. She is 6 pounds. I also got to meet my brother's wife for the first time. We had a baby shower for her. She is pregnant with a boy and due in December. I also got to meet my other brother's girlfriend of many years for the first time as well. It was such a busy trip.
While I was there, my grandma had another heart attack (she had one back in July too). She was in the hospital in Bellevue, but man was her hospital room glamorous! I have never seen a more fancy hospital in all my life. Aside from that, my grandma looked pretty sick. It made me very sad. All the family is pulling for her and we hope she gets well soon.
On a lighter note, Kingston had the time of his life. He got to play with all of his cousins and they all got along so well. They decorated Halloween cookies while they were all wearing matching Halloween shirts, they played at the most amazing and enormous playground I have ever seen, and they just hung around together like they were all best friends. Kingston adored the babies. He was so gentle around them and patting them if they cried. He was loving the babies. Kingston also got a haircut at the cutest salon for kids. They get to sit on toy cars and watch cartoons while their hair gets cut.
I also had some fun of my own. I did a lot of shopping. I finally gave in and bought myself a pair of leggings and they are incredibly comfortable! I also was able to take my 9 year old niece out shopping. I bought her so many cute outfits and she had a blast. After, we went to dinner and I let her order anything she wanted. My mom and I would go out to dinner every night after she got off work then we would come home and be greeted by my sister-in-law who came over every night to do laundry. That gave me plenty of time to cuddle with her new 1 month old son. So all in all, we had a blast.

New bed, new suit, new Steeler's jersey, and a new sandbox!

Kingston has had a lot of spoiling lately. He is the only child and I have to admit that I spoil him A LOT! There are good reasons for all of it though ;). For example, a couple weeks ago, I found Kingston downstairs playing the the kitty litter box! Gross!! I then found him in the litter box every day until I decided I was sick of sanitizing his entire body to kill all of the nasty kitty waste germs. It was getting old. Chez and I decided to buy Kingston a sandbox of his own to play in. It is a little messy in the basement with all of the sand, but since the basement is not finished, we decided it's okay.

Next on the list is his new Steeler's Jersey. It is so cute on him and Chez is so proud of it. Kingston and I have matching ones. Since he is getting so tall, he is quickly growing out of his summer church clothes, so I went and got him the cutest little suit. He is only 18 months old but he wears a 2T-3T depending on the brand!


Lastly, and most importantly, we got him his very first big boy bunk bed. We were not going to get a bunk bed but when he saw it at the furniture store, he loved it. He laid in it and climbed the ladder over and over. I figure with the shape of it, he wont have any problems falling off of this bed. I had so much fun picking out his bedding. I put him in it tonight until he had enough of it then I put him in his crib. We are slowly going to get him used to it until he sleeps the whole night in it then we will just put a baby gate up in his doorway.

Mommy's Little Angel/ Devil

From time to time I catch I stumble across funny picture moments with Kingston. He will do something that looks so wrong that I have to take a photo. A few months ago I caught him sucking on a white pen that looked like a cigarette. Today I caught him drinking out of a Rottbeer bottle that looked like beer. So here goes. Enjoy!

Random Pictures

I was going through my recent pictures and found a bunch of Kingston that I thought were really cute. The pictures are of him figuring out his big boy potty, playing on the piano, a really funny one of him with a towel over his water wings(he looked like ET!) and of him playing on the quarter toys. I always say this, but he is just getting so big. He is not my little baby anymore! Pretty soon he will be in his own big boy bed and getting up in the morning without my help. Oh how the time flies!
