At the Pumpkin Patch

Today I decided to take Corry to the pumpkin patch to have something fun to do, and because Corry has been crawling up to the front door and saying something that I think sounds like "outside", since I always say, let's go outside whenever we leave. So I decided we would do that for our outside time today. The first thing that we did was go into the corn box (like a sand box, but with corn kernels instead of sand) and we saw an old friend of mine there with her son. Corry and Hudson spent about 20 minutes playing in the corn, and of course Corry ate some despite my efforts to get him not to, and had a great time. Then, since they had also just arrived, we went and looked at the rest of the things that were available. Here are some pictures of our fun day at the pumpkin patch. :)

Here are our friends, Jessica and Hudson

Climbing with my mouth mommy...

So this may seem like a strange title for a blog, but let me explain. Corry started crawling at 7 1/2 months, and then immediately started pulling up on things. And he is very strong also, so he wants to climb on EVERYTHING. A funny thing that he has started to do is to use his mouth as an alternative hand hold. He puts both hands on something then bites it, and while he's holding on with his mouth, he moved his hands. I think it is adorable!

Life as a "Mormon"

"I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know who I am, I know God's plan, I'll honor him in faith. I believe in the savior Jesus Christ, I'll honor his name. I'll do what is right, I'll follow his light, his truth I will proclaim."- Children's Songbook #77

This is a song that I learned at church as a child. I have tried to live my life to honor my god and what I believe. I am proud to be a "Mormon." It is a big part of who I am because it influences the decisions that I make everyday. I hope that people will love me for who I am and not for what I do or do not believe, although they are closely related. With all of the media attention that our church is getting lately, I find lots of people that I have known for a long time making awful comments about members of this church because they do not believe the same as we do. I would ask these friends to vote for whoever they believe will lead this country the best, or don't vote at all if you don't agree with any of the candidates. But please don't make your decision based on someone's religion wether they be Mormon, Muslim, Catholic, Atheist, etc... Freedom should go all ways and should be extended to people's beliefs, wether we agree with them or not.

Friends at the park

Yesterday we went to the park with some friends from church for park group, and my friend came with her daughter. She is almost 2 months younger than Corry, but they are the same size, because she is tall and he is short. But they looked so cute that I just couldn't resist taking pictures.

So... I lost my camera cable... here we go!

Here are some of the things that have been happening lately. Sorry if it's a really long post, but there are lots of things happening... we might break it up into a few posts (maybe) :).

My First Bath

First Smile Caught on Camera

Mommy Loves Me, and My Crazy Hair

Four Generations

Sleeping on my Daddy

My Cool Hat from my Auntie Cathy

First Time Sitting in my Bumbo Chair

My first walk in the stroller. We walked to Wal-Mart. I slept for most of the way, but I think that I still had fun.

Great things come in small packages...

A truer sentiment doesn't exist. He is the smallest thing in my heart and besides his daddy, he takes up the most space. :)























These pictures were taken by my friend Sandy Allred of Timeless Allure Photography. She did such an amazing job. I am so glad that she was able to take his pictures for us.
