Catching up!

I have been slacking and I have to do a fast catch up now. You will see here that Russell got his first hair cut, first 2 teeth (at the same time), got to see snow for the first time, playing on the grass for the first time, And in general having a good time. He is so close to crawling, he is just too interested in standing, we have to make sure that we are far enough away that he cant reach us or he trys to climb up to a stand on us.

Project #2

Here is the second project that we had going on. It is a toy box, sort of holder, for Russell. Chad worked really hard on this one and I think that it turned out really cute. It is going to have a padded top one day, but that is going to be a while so for now it is done.

Fun in the Sun!

We made a quick trip to California, it was a moment notice type of thing. We got to even make it to the beach. Since Russell is not a fan of the water we did not even try to put him in a swimming suit. We just let him play in the shade of the umbrella.

Russell does not like the water so this is what he does when he sees it.

We did get him in, he was not really thrilled.

All of us at the beach.

We finished our little project too.

YUM!!!

Russell found a new toy, he took my carrot from me when I pulled it out of the fridge last week and he played with it for almost an hour. It was fun to watch him, and it meant that I did not have to entertain him, the carrot took care of that for me!

New Trick

Russell SITS! He finally did it all by himself, he has been sitting for two days now and getting better every day. The pillows behind him are there to catch him when he topples over. Our floor is really hard and his head has come in contact a couple of times and it takes like 15 min. to make the head feel better. It is sad. But with the help of the pillows life is good. I have been so excited for him to sit, now he is so much happier on the floor. YES!

This is a very supervised Russell enjoying some birthday wrapping paper. He enjoyed it for quite some time. Eventually it started to make it to his mouth a little to well and it had to go, he was not happy about that.

More Pictures!

I was going through my pictures from Idaho and just had so many more I wanted to share.

Russell loved sitting on my sisters lap while she attempted to play one handed, as Russell would either hit the piano himself or try to pull her hand off or play with her hand, or eat any of the above. It was funny, as you can see my sister is laughing.
Here is Russell with cousin Alli and Charile. Russell thought that this was hillarious! He was laughing so hard he was having a hard time staying sitting up.

This is my brother that just came home from his mission in Georgia just over a month ago. It was so fun to see him.

This year my parents did a completly veritcal garden. Everything from tomatos, cucumbers, squash to beans are growing UP poles and string. It is very cool. But takes alot of work.

Idaho fun!

Well Idaho was fun and the temperature was so nice! By that I mean not 100+. It was so much fun to see all of my family. And this trip was to see my twin sister get married and it was a beautiful day! :)






Russell turned 5 months in Idaho!
Here is all the Fowers kids and Mom and Dad.
