Mother's Day

I think that being a mom is the best feeling in the world! Celebrating yesterday was so much fun. When Jeremy woke up yesterday, Mike ttok him downstairs so I could sleep in. He is such a great dad and husband. Then an hour later he came up with Jeremy and sang "Happy mother's day" (its the birthday song with mother instead of birthday). It's a family tradtion in his family. I think it is so cute. Then they gave me a present...it was Vera Wang Rock Princess perfume. ITs smells GREAT!! Then we all jsut stayed in bed and played. We then got ready for church and all the women did not have to teach or do thier calling. All the men took over. We a had a fabulous relief society meeting about three different women in the scriptures. Eve, Sariah, and Mary. I believe that the reason why we don't have too much information on these women is becasue they are so sacred. Just knowing that they are influencial in church history is important. After church I put Jeremy down for a nap and he slept for 3 hours. I was able to take a 2 hour nap. Thank-you Mike! After Jeremy woke up we went over to my mom's for dinner. Mu dad made an excelent stake, rice, and the best zuccini I had ever had!! All in all it was a great day. I hope all you other moms had as wonderful day that I had!

Birthday weekend and lots of fun!

Well, since the last post, I had my 25th birthday! I am a quarter a century old! We celebrated it all weekend. On Friday Mike took me shopping to get some new summer clothes. I got two new shorts with t-shirts. On Sat, Mike and I went out with his mom and dad. We ate at Stone fire. They have the best BBQ chicken chopped salad. On Sun, we went over to my mom's and she cooked me steak, potatoes, and broccoli; one of my favorite dinners! After dinner we ate a white cake with homemade whipped cream with strawberries on top....YUMMY. Then on Monday, I went and got my hair done. I was tired of being blond because of the up keep. So I went back to my original color. Its a little darker then the original but it will fade. Then for dinner, Mike took me and Jeremy to Chi Chi's Pizza. I think that the best present of all was on my birthday, Jeremy started to crawl! I can't believe it..He is mobile. Yesterday he started to move more, now today hes even more mobile! When he crawls he smiles and kinda laughs. It way cute!

The process of crawling!

Jeremy's new haircut!

I decided to give Jeremy a new haircut because he was looking like he had a mullet! He did not like it!

One of Jeremy's many church outfits! This is my favorite smile!

I was cooking dinner one night and I looked over the kitchen wall and here are my boys watching the Simpsons...in the same position. I had to take the picture because it was so cute! Like father like son!

Jeremy after his bath! He loves his bath time!

New stuff

Well Jeremy had his 9 month check up yesterday. I can't believe he is getting so big. It feels like I just had him not too long ago. He weighed in at 15lbs12.3oz and height at 2ft 3in (27in). He is in the 1% for weight and 12% for height. He is our little peanut. Hes not really doing anything new; he is still getting up on his hands and knees and rocking, but falls on his tummy when he trys to crawl. His second tooth has come in and we are waiting for the top two to come in.
Well, for those of you interested, my cousin made me a website for my business! I am starting my own traveling hair and make-up business. So check out my website! www.annacarr.com. I hope that I can start making a little bit of cash so we can buy a house! So hope the best for me!

Easter

Jeremy and his first Easter basket. He had so much fun taking the eggs and all the green grass out. It was funny to watch. Sorry about my messy house in the background!

All dressed up and ready to go to church!

Daddy and Jeremy all in their Easter dress shirts. Like daddy like son. Mike has the same color shirt as Jeremy, but it was too wrinkly and we were running late for church..whats new?

Church wore him out; he no longer likes to sleep in our arms, so he falls asleep in the car ride home. I like how he holds on to the side of his car seat! Church is hard for him because it is right in the middle of his morning nap.

I thought you might like to know Jeremy's awesome schedule!

7:00 am wake up and nurse
9:00 am eat oatmeal
9:30 am take a nap
12:30ish wake up and nurse (he usually takes an 2-3 hour morning nap) I know I am lucky!
2:00 pm eat lunch
2:30 pm take a nap
4:00ish wake up and nurse
5:30 pm eat a snack like apple sauce or yo-baby
7:30 pm eat dinner with mommy and daddy
8:00pm take a bath
8:30pm nurse and go to bed and sleep through the night

This of course is a rough estimate of his schedule. We change it up if we have to go out and run errands or go to church or just want to go out and have fun. During his awake time we play with cars, we read, we just try to keep Jeremy entertained.

At the Zoo

As you can see we had lots of fun at the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was such a nice day; it was cool but not too cold! Jeremy liked looking at all the animals. I believe that his favorite was the Lemurs. He just stared at them. The lemur keeper was in the cage so all the lemurs were very active. It was my higlight of the day as well.

Jeremy and his daddy! This was in the line to feed the giraffes!


Jeremy and Mike feeding the giraffe.

And me feeding the giraffe. It was a lot of fun. They give you three pieces of food to feed to the giraffe. What you do is take one piece of food and put it out and the giraffe will curl its very long and sticky tongue around the piece of food. It was quite fun!

THis gorilla was so big. All he did was sit here looking very content!

Me and my favorite animal...the elephant. I just thing elephants are amazing! So as you can see, we had a fun filled day at the zoo.

Jeremy cut a tooth two weeks ago and it is now fully showing. It is so cute. I dont think he realizes it quite yet. but we think it is so cute. Just in the past few days he has started to get up on his hands and knees and start to rock. He try to move, but he just falls on his tummy. When he is sitting he can pivot. So our little man is starting to be mobile...watch out mommy!!!

Lots of fun in the past few weeks!

Jeremy is all smiles. He is wanting to crawl so bad he can't just figure it out! He just won't sit still!

I want you mommy! He is the biggest mama's boy ever. He just wants to be with me all the time. I don't complain because he is so cute!

Jeremy is taking the BEST naps ever. His morning nap is usually between 2 and 3 hours. One day I went to go and check on him and this is how he was.

These are our favorite pajamas; he just looks so funny in them.

We as a family LOVE Rock Band. Mike was playing the drums and Jeremy was watching him so intently. So we put him on Daddy's lap and played an easy song for him. He thought it was so much fun.

This past week, Jeremy's cousins Emma and Macie came and visited us. We had so much fun just hanging out as a family. Tomorrow, we are going to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo. They have a giraffe exhibit where you can feed them! We are looking forward to it and we will post photos! UNtill next time...the team is doing well!

He is just the cutest ever!
