2006 CalSPA

Instead of getting a puppy we opted to get a hot tub we found on craigslist instead :) Craig, along with his dad larry, Dinko, the older man we bought it from and Jared, moved it from Eagle to Meridian by themselves. Craig wired our house for 220 and hooked it up all by himself and now it's filled with water, chemicals are in and all the levels are were they should be. It is now heated to 90 degrees and rising and I cant wait to get in it tonight once the kids go to bed.

this kid!!!

such a great age this kid is. belly time is increasing and he is such a smily kid.

the room is complete!!!!

I didn't finish puting up the wall border on this one wall because I was about 12 inches too short. I was contimplating just ending it behind the door but didn't like that idea so much. So I have been in search for a dresser I could just put the monkey canvas on and have the bare wall border hidden behind that. I have been looking on craig's list for a cheap nice solid dresser for months. I didn't need one right away so I was waiting for the perfect deal. I spotted this one and nabbed it. I got the dresser and matching night stand for $75. It's more than we need for little Ivan at this time but it is solid wood and will grow with him nicely through the years. So the wall border is up!!!!! Shelves are stocked!!!! and the room is complete.... ( FOR NOW :) )

grand total out of pocket expense for room: around $ 270. (crib, bedding, dresser, changing table, shelves, and decor)

and of course ever post is in need of a new picture of the little man himself :)

already for church

well this outfit was 3-6 so I didn't think it would fit but I put it on him this morning and he is almost ready for the next size up... dang it...its been hanging in the closet for 2 months and we almost missed wearing it. apparently I have a chunky monkey on my hands. he sure is handsome though.

IVAN 2 MONTHS

Ivan's 2 month birthday has come and gone, boy has time flown by. He has gotten so big. He got his shots and check up and measured

Height: 24 5/8 inches long (96%)

Weight: 12 lbs 13 oz (75%)

Head: 16 inchs (75%)

He also had his blessing last sunday and my whole family came up from california for the occasion...and left with the stomach flu..SORRY.

We had a lot of fun while my family was in town. Craig took the guys shooting. We celebrated my dad's birthday(april 30th) and my brother's birthday (may 1st) as well that weekend and we all went to Wahooz.

I had 27 people sleeping at my house saturday night and we had 43 people over for dinner and ivan's blessing on sunday. It was their first time seeing the house and it was nice having enough room for everyone. I got to meet Ivan's little 2 day older cousin Braxtin for the first time as well and 5 month old CJ.
