The Gillette's Life: "... Hold still."

"... Hold still."

When ever we go to our pediatrician, Jack is right beside the doctor doing whatever he does. This past doctors appointment was especially cute... I think I am going to stick with this one forever. Konnor has never been so content while getting his check up.

Checking the ears

Checking his teeth (with his finger of course)

Checking his finger nails.. (this one made me laugh)

I only wish the pictures weren't so fuzzy...

Thank you Dr. JJ

Little boy, when you speak
I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

Chorus

November, November

The weather still feels like august sometimes. Everything around us is still changing. The leaves are starting to turn colors, and fall. the flowers and the grass are starting to die and go into hibernation. The decorations and the surroundings in the home are changing as well. Our home spells of warmth and spices. The heater kicks on to give bursts of heat. blankets scattered throughout the house, and the sudden urges to cook yummy bread or soup. I love this weather and wish it would stay year 'round. (except for those occasional sicknesses) Those can leave and never come again. Happy Autumn!

cool weather has come

This will be our first fall/winter in our new home. We moved from living in Alpine with Justin's parents, to buying our first home in Eagle Mountain in May. This year has been long, hard, exciting, fast, and sweet. Every emotion you can think of, we have been through since we have moved into our home. It may seem bad at times, but what challenges us, only makes us stronger. The times we have that keep a smile on our face, and make us happy, enables us to endure the hardships and make the sweet times more precious.

The leaves change color, soon fade and fall to the ground. The wind blows hard, and cold. the sky starts to go grey, with each cloud that lingers. These are some of the signs that say the cold seasons is here. Warm sweaters, fuzzy socks. Toys, stuffed animals and blankets are scattered throughout the house. Hot soups, chilis, and bread in the oven. The only thing missing in the house is a wood burning fireplace. (coming soon.. I hope!)
As the months pass by, the smells change, the food changes and the seasons come and go but the feel of our home will remain. This in my favorite time of the year and its only going to get better.
If you ever want some of the fall/winter season feel, just give a ring and your welcome to join.

March 2009 Spring has Sprung!

It is now officially Spring, but you wouldn't think so if you looked outside. There is at least three inches of snow on the ground. Only a few days ago it was 70* outside with birds singing and children with their bikes and toys. Im guessing the weather wants to play games with us.
While we had the chance though, Jack and I were outside playing with the puppies, drawing with chalk and washing the cars. Jack would have loved to go outside naked but I hesitated and let him out with just his shorts. His cute little belly was sticking out, as he was walking around with dirt in his mouth patting his belly as if he was satisfied with what he just ate.
As he gets older, his personality really starts to shine. If only I could catch those satisfied looks and funny faces, but sadly I can only capture a few. (Its hard to carry around a camera everywhere I go. but I try) If only he had a little brother or sister to tag along with him, and show him or her the ropes of all the fantastic things that he discovers. Hopefully one day soon that wish will become a reality.
Until our next adventure, keep those adventures alive and discover new things for your self whether big or small.
Coming Soon: Another Discovery.. Don't miss it!
