One tough day

Today is Sunday. I know for most families Sundays are a pretty crazy day but today was a little crazier than usual. I got up at 4:30 am to give Sterling a bottle and stayed up from there to do poster for Primary Singing time. Sterling got up and we bopped around with Dad who was also up early because he was speaking in a different ward. Last night we went to the mall so I didn't get a chance to bathe him so I did it this morning I used the Johnson and Johnson calming lavender bath because we have tons of it and followed the bath up with the lotion. He was dressed as normal and at 8:00 we were off to church. My mom and I sang today so we had to practice early and while we were practicing Sterling starts sneezing like crazy, his left eye starts to swell and turn red, and his lip starts to swell. I think this was a reaction to the new soap. Thankfully, yesterday I had the feeling I should buy some benadryl for a "just-in-case" moment. My mom and I sang I ran home with Sterling gave him a half dose of the medicine, he fell asleep and was doing so much better. So, after church Matt, Sterling, and I went over to my parents... While we were there Sterling fell face first on the tile and started bleed from his tooth/lip.
Thank goodness Sterling is such a trooper. It's just hard to see your little baby be in pain.

Our Family So Far...

This past Sunday I decided to take a little family picture. We all were looking mighty fine so here you go...

...

Sterling Chipping in...

Taking care of business... Yes Sterling likes to clean. He is such a good helper when it comes to sweeping and such.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Bobby Jones (just kidding). This year both Sterling and I were golfers. He was an old time golfer and I was an old 80's golfer and dad was a student. His costume was so darn cute and I have to say he did remarkably well for his first Halloween.

Beans Beans the Magical Fruit...

One night for dinner this past week I decided to make some fajitas. I made most things Sterling friendly by not adding seasonings and such. That night he ate chicken, cheese, cooked bell peppers, advocado, and of course, BLACK BEANS. He liked them so much he decided to wear a couple too.

La Quinta Park Fun

mmm, mmm, good.

Sterling just "hanging out" with his cousin.

Sterling is one lucky boy. While I work part-time this year Sterling gets to play with Grandma Caress Monday-Thursday and on Fridays he gets to spend time with Grandma Haas. A couple weeks ago, I went to pick up Sterling and convinced my mom that we should take the kids (Sterling and his cousin Alicia) to the park at the bottom of the La Quinta cove. It was fun... Sterling tried to eat the wood chips (they are high in fiber) and Alicia ran around and around and around. Both kids had nice rosey cheeks after all was said and none. I think it is so nice that Sterling has so many cousins that love him, that he loves, and that are so close to him.

...Well I turned my back and...

Who knew Pringles could be this Fun!

I know it sounds a little cliche but I really did have my back turned and then he got into everything... Recently in the past week, Sterling has enter now into his little explorer phase. He is into everything, taking everything out of its proper place, and climbing on everything. Oh, and he is now an almost full-time walker. He walks, climbs, and finds! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm glad he's a manly little boy.

Random Fun Pics...

These are just a few pics I liked from the past couple weeks. Sterling and I went for a lot of walks a couple weeks back and it just reinforced the fact that he looooves being outside. The other pics are of Sterling assisting head chef Auntie Kym. Not only does he love his Auntie Kym he loves being and helping out in the kitchen...maybe he will be the next chef Ramsey or Wolfgang Puck...hopefully the later.

October Conference

Sterling said he needed a little pick me up... YEAH RIGHT. Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about soda.

Our October Conference was spent infornt of the t.v. at my parents house this year. It was a nice set up Sterling played and Matt and I tried to watch. By the way ... wasen't Sister Beck's talk amazing!

Sunday Dinner Comes Home

Almost every Sunday evening, our little family ends up at the home of one of the Caress Families. We have a little rotation going.The last Sunday in September ( I think) led the family to our new casa. The menu consisted of: Homemade chili, yummy corn bread muffins, and cute little chocolate cup cakes (thanks to Kym). We ate, Monterey slept and everyone eventually ended up outside for races and a rousing game of Red Rover.

Matt with some of the cuties.

More family just chatting... ...Send Chrissy Poo right over!


Wooooosh, there they go...

Chris you're FAST!!

One rockin' bath

Rock rock rock rock rockin' roll bath tub.

I was just so excitied he had enough hair to sport the doo.

Look Who's 10 Months!

How you doing?

TOUCHDOWN!!!!





These pictures come from our 10 month photo shoot we had on September the 20th. Sterling is one boy on the move. He crawls at the speed of light it seems, pulls himself up on everything, and is starting to take a few steps here and there. I can't believe one year is just around the corner!
