Maddux's 9 Month Pictures

We had Maddux's pictures taken back in August by Brianne Serrano and we love them. Here are a some of our favorites!

 

 

Maddux at Dinner

Maddux has starting blowing raspberries these days and when we went out to dinner for my birthday he just kept them coming non-stop. But when I got my camera out he stopped and just looked at me like nothing was going on. So nothing is really going on in this video, he just looks cute.
Enjoy!

My Birthday and Maddux

Maddux is 7 months old today. Time is just flying by! Next thing you know he will be 1! I can't wait to see him grow. I especially can't wait till he is talking and I can hear what is on the cute mind of his!
Saturday was my birthday and I turned 23. I forgot that I was 22 and until my mother mentioned my soon to be age days before my birthday, I thought I was turning 22. Ha ha! Cesar made sure I had a wonderful day. We went to Idaho Falls early in the morning and I got swept away with the girls (Esther, Patty and her two girls, Shantall and Samantha) to Macys (Maddux stayed with the boys). I had a great time shopping and came home to cake and candles.

After we left Cesar's parents house, we went to the Idaho Falls zoo with my sisters and then out for Reed's Dairy ice cream. If you haven't tired it, you must! We then finished the day by going out to dinner. I absolutely loved it!

Attempting

Dear Blog,
I know I have continually neglected you through the years, but I still love you. I have tried countless times to revive my passion of for you but I become discouraged as I attempt to write an entry and decide to read other blogs. I can't promise that this will become an everyday thing, but if you are patient perhaps I can slowly build my passion back.
Yours truly,

Allyson

Alright so I am attempting a small entry tonight while Cesar is gone working till midnight tonight. (I can never sleep 1. if he is gone and 2. if he falls asleep before I do. I'm strange I know). I only have an hour left until he is home so I figured it may just be enough time for me to come up with something to post. I have been thinking of posting my rambling ideas for girls camp on here but for now I will settle on showing you one of my first attempts to be crafty.
I got the idea HERE at House of Smiths:

Super cute right? That's what I thought too. So I set out to make my own. I had a set of plastic containers that we got as a wedding gift so I decided to give it a shot... and here are my results. Please forgive me for my lame pictures. I am no budding photographer :)

Ta-da! I have to admit I am pretty proud of the way they turned out.

One last thing. Can I just admit to how much I LOVE being a mom? This little boy has me hooked heart and soul. I honestly could not imagine life without him. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed me to be able to be a mother. I am grateful for His gospel and knowing is His plan. I love knowing that if I am true and faithful I may live with Him and my family for time and all eternity. I could ask for no greater gift.

Good night world and until next time!

Maddux

Alright so I am the worst blogger in the whole world.... but I'll give you a quick photo update on our life since Maddux has joined us.

The day before Maddux was born. I felt like a huge hippo!

Getting ready to deliver Maddux!

Happy Birthday Maddux! He arrived 6 lbs 5 oz's and 19 inches long :)

Maddux's first hair cut.

First day out of the house to go Christmas shopping.
....and now we will fast forward to the present

Maddux at 3 months!

We absolutely love this little boy and are grateful for all the blessings and trials he has brought into our lives. We look forward to watching him learn and grow.
