Golf anyone?

Destry is totally ready to golf...well, at least he has the outfit! We'll work on the whole stand-up and swing-a-club thing.

Destry update

I mentioned in the fishing post that Destry had his two month appointment. He now weighs in at 12 lbs, 14 oz. Measures 24" tall and his noggin is pretty normal too. All his measurements put him in the 75% range so he's a little bigger than average, but still in proportion (no huge head or anything---like sputnik, spherical but quite pointy in parts...) :D Mostly he was having a good ol' time until they started sticking him with needles. Then his eyes got all huge and he started wailing. it was cute. Sad, but cute. It took him a while to calm down after wards. I had to have uncle Brian go get some tylenol afterwards because Destry started to do the whole fever thing. Plus, his leggies were hurting him and anytime he moved he would cry and if he didn't move he would moan. hehehe poor little guy.

But now he's doing great and he even slept through the night again last night. Which was good since I was super tired having to be up so much the night before.

Free Fishing Day

Saturday was Free Fishing Day in Utah so we decided to take advantage of the day. We went to Salem Pond (which is in springville-ish) and had fun fishing for a few hours.


Kolt only caught a couple of these little tiny BlueGill's but it was still nice to get out of the house for a bit.

This guy came prepared with chicken livers so he was catching catfish. We've done that before and it's pretty fun but I don't like the taste of catfish very much. Nonetheless, he was the only one successful in his fishing endeavors. He also found the need to show us all his techniques to ensure our success in the future. He was nice...a bit off, but nice. :)

Destry slept pretty much the whole time, only waking up to eat half-way through. Then he went back to sleep. He had a rough night the night before because he got his 2 month round of shots that day. He didn't feel well after that and would only sleep for 20 minutes on his own so I had to either hold him or let him come sleep with us in our bed. He is a little snuggle bunny so its kind of nice, but not for the whole night.

Spoiled Rotten

That would be me. Destry totally slept through the ENTIRE night last night. I put him in bed around 9:30 (I'm pretty sure at least...) and woke up at 5:00 this morning realizing that he hadn't made a peep all night. So after checking to make sure he was still breathing I went back to bed (he's still asleep at this point--and breathing for that matter) for another HOUR!! Wow. Haven't felt so rested in almost a year now. He's been doing 5 hrs in a row these past few nights but man, this was awesome. And now it's 7 am and I'm getting ready for the day because he went back to bed. I love this kid.

New found entertainment

Destry loves his new jungle gym. I got it from Kolt's aunt LuRey (i'm pretty sure...) at the baby shower and we were just waiting for him to be aware enough to enjoy it. That day came yesterday. It's pretty much the coolest baby-toy I've seen and I think Destry would agree. You can see his little chest breathing pretty hard because he was kicking and wiggling for a while before I had the idea of filming him. He was so stinking excited, it was really funny. His eyes got all wide and everything.

It's seriously so neat, there are pictures of animals all over the bottom and the sides and the top is the sky with birds and the sun. Inside there are hooks to hang fun toys and the colors are super bright and fun. I love Baby Einstein!



p.s. I put him in there to play while I blogged and now he's snoozing away! Awwww, he tired himself right out. so cute!!

Destry's Blessing Day

Destry was blessed this past Sunday and it was really neat. A lot of family showed up and I was surprised at how large a crowd we had! Everyone came to my grandma's house afterwards and had a great luncheon due to the fact that my mom, sister, and grandma Morris are the coolest people ever. And we had another photo-session with my sister Carrie and sister-in-law Rachel.
This is where we took this photo, along with many others--but this is the one I have on my computer at this exact moment.

Another addition to the decor

My in-laws gave me this painting for my birthday back in december and it took this long to get it on the wall. It did take until last month to get it framed but it's been silently waiting in our bedroom, resting against the wall, hoping that kolt would hang it up. Nope. So I did it myself today. and it's awesome. The artist lives around fillmore so we saw her at a boutique and I really liked her work. She paints the scene first with an acrylic medium to get some texture and then water colors over the top. Obviously the one i have is just a print but the originals are pretty neat to look at.
