The Motiee Family

He loves stairs

2009-04-15T11:58:00.000-07:00

Stockton loves playing in our room. We have these doggy stairs next to our bed for our fat dog Murphy to get up and down with. And Stockton loves to climb them, jump off of them, move them, really anything he can think of to do with them he will. When ever he is quiet we always know he is in our room waiting for us to come find and chase him. And when we do start to chase him he runs around our bed, climbs the stairs and hops on pillows. He thinks it's "safe" area. You know, like in tag when you were little. "you cant touch the sand but the the slide is "safe"? He is so cute!! He is always climbing, falling and jumping off of things. And yes with all the bruises, scratches, cuts and blisters to prove it. I started looking for gymnastics classes for him today. I think I found one and I cant wait to get him started.

Happy Bunny Day!

2009-04-12T18:55:00.000-07:00

Well it was a pretty fun day if I say so myself. Before Kayvon and I went to bed last night we let the Easter Bunny in to leave all the eggs and toys he brought for Stockton. He started with laying them right outside his bedroom door so when he woke up in the morning he would see them right away. When Stockton woke up he found a basket in his room to fill up with all the fun eggs he could find. We just want to say thank you to Mr Bunny for listening to us when we told him NO candy. Instead he got eggs full of gold fish and grahamy bears. :) I know what you are thinking, but I could probably count how many times Stockton has had any kind of cookie or candy on only both my hands. Say what you want about that but what Stockton doesn't know, he cant miss. :) Anyways after his nap we went to lunch and then took the dogs to the dog park. All and all it was a pretty great day. This is such a fun age with Stockton because he is really starting to "get" things now.

It's about time right?!

2009-04-04T22:10:00.001-07:00

OK, so you don't have to tell me, I already know what you are thinking. "Is the Motiee family ever going to put up new pictures?"

Well it's been kind of crazy busy around these parts and I am sure every other parent who has a blog can say the same thing and yet they still manage to post. But here's the thing, just hear me out. I don't know if you have a child like mine. If he is awake then I am NOT on the computer. He has to be on the computer playing is game if he knows that I am in the office. So the only window of opportunity I get to be on the computer is about two hours long. And in that two hours I get to choose between cleaning my house, myself or blogging. It saddens me to tall you that blogging is the last on that list and whats even more sad is myself usually looses the race too.

So lets get to "blogging" shall we......or at least to some more pictures.

Our Honeymoon at last!

2009-04-04T21:11:00.000-07:00

So Kayvon and I finally got to go on our honeymoon. We had been talking about this trip since Stockton still looked somewhat like a sea monkey in my belly. It was AMAZING!! We went to Kauai for a week and stayed at the Marriott Beach Club Resort. My dad (the greatest dad EVER) got us a beach front one bedroom master suite. The view as you can see from the pictures was nothing less then breath taking. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing.......ugggggg there are no words.

(weeping........we wanna go back.......sniff sniff)

We did everything we wanted to do while we were there, which was absolutely NOTHING!! Well we did a few things, like drink, eat, lay by the pool and beach, drink some more. :) And somewhere in our hectic busy schedule we went snorkeling, (Kayvon's first time, and loved it!) sight seeing, golfing and an island helicopter tour. (The best money spent)

I have to say as much as we loved it and didn't want to come home. We both missed our little guy. Grandma Holt took care of him for the week and broke him of the bottle. (for that we owe her our life!) We both agreed that next time we go somewhere like this, we will go three days early and then have someone hand deliver Stockton to us.

Hoop Dreams

2009-03-03T18:53:00.000-08:00

When he walked onto the hardwood, you could see a visible change in his demeanor. He had never been there before but it was strangely familiar. He looked up to me and said " Vlah Blue Blah Blah" (translation:

"Dad, I'm Home")

Kathryn thought that the other players in the gym were staring because he looked so cute in his baby blue outfit. I saw the fear in their eyes. They knew they were witnessing greatness in its rawest form.

He is already a predator on defense. He is also fast and nimble. His natural athletic ability was on full display. It was truly a site to behold!

I HAVE NO WORDS!!!!

2009-01-31T23:44:00.001-08:00

I know its been a while.......

2009-01-31T14:12:00.000-08:00

Well, the New Year as you can see started out with bang.....all over daddy! :) That was the last time I wrote in our blog, mainly because I think that was the last time I felt like I had enough tome to sit and take a breather. But here I am now....so stop complaining! This year I gave Stockton his first haircut EVER!! He hated it of course and you can tell by the look he is giving daddy as his picture is being taken. He is so darn CUTE!! Nothing much has change for us. I am done with school and take my last test next week. Then off to find a job.....FINALLY!! I am really excited to tell you the truth. I love being home with Stockton all day don't get me wrong. But it will be great to have some adult interaction again. And I think it will be good for Stockton to go play around other children everyday. We'll see, I say this now but really I know I am going to go crazy with missing him. I miss him after I put him down for the night!

Happy 2009....and what a great way to end 2008

2009-01-01T11:13:00.000-08:00

Well for New years it was pretty quiet. That is once Stockton's vomiting stopped. We have no idea where it came from but one second he was happy, playing and running around. And the next minute, I'm cleaning up what I can only describe as "grown man's" puke, smell and all. It went all over our sofa, all over the lap of the boy we were watching for the night and all over the carpet. Then Kayvon picked him up to get him, his hair and the inside of his nose all cleaned up, when he made it half way to the bathroom and it happened again. Only this time all over "just showered" daddy and the entryway floor. I know you don't want to hear about it let alone see it, but it was to funny not to snap a picture of what real, true parenthood is all about. This picture is PRICELESS!! Then after that second episode he was happy, until it started up again two more times. Then after that he was so warn out he went straight to bed. Woke up happy and feeling great this morning. So what ever it was his tummy didn't like, it got rid of it. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2009-01-01T11:09:00.000-08:00

Ok! Can I just say how much fun Christmas was this year? It was everything that I had imagined Christmas would be when I had a family of my own. Call me crazy but other little girls had their whole wedding planned out by the time they are 12 years old. Me, I had "Our Family Christmas Tradition" all planned out. Stockton made his first of many Santa plate. Then Kayvon picked a cookie from his childhood and I picked one from mine and we made them to put out for Santa. Then on Christmas Day Kayvon's family came over and we had dinner, played games and watched as Stockton helped Grandma Susan bake. He loved licking the left overs. Stockton also LOVED the tree and did so well with leaving it alone. That is until he realized there was fun things under it! :) Every time someone would walk through the front door he would run up to them, start talking their ear off and run them over to the tree to show it off. I thought he was going to cry when he watched me take it down. He still gets up every morning looking for it. Stockton got plenty of things this year.....some he needed.....most he didn't. But I don't really think grandparents know what it means when you say, "don't go over board." Kayvon got his oldie but goody......socks (and other stuff too) Kayvon loves me so much that he got me a new camera! One that I really wanted. We have had the same camera for five years now. So you know how many years that is in technology years? Speaking of dogs. Kody got a stuffed toy which is already destroyed and in the trash. Murphy got treats....FATTY! So now its just the after math of the holidays and putting everything away. My house looks like a tornado ripped through it. Its just a bad cycle, because as you are taking care of and cleaning up Christmas, your normal everyday tasks get skipped....then BAM....twelve loads of laundry.....again!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2009-01-01T11:03:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas Eve!

Tay & Stockton

2008-12-24T10:55:00.000-08:00

My best friend Kari and her daughter Taylor came into town and stopped by for a play date. They had so much fun and Taylor taught Stockton how to ride the pony. I'm sure if he wasn't so tired he would have enjoyed it more. But staying up late is well worth it when you haven't seen good friends for so long. He cant wait to see her again. :) I posted some pics from their last play date. you can see how long ago it was. KARI JUST MOVE BACK!!!!! sniff sniff sniff......

NEWPORT 2008

2008-12-22T12:47:00.000-08:00

This is probably one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken of my family. Daddy sure loves his little boy, and Stockton loves his daddy more then anything. It was a great vacation and I cant wait to go back.

Family Photo's 2008

2008-12-08T10:01:00.000-08:00

So Lisa Boyle is such an amazing photographer!! She was so kind and agreed to take our family photo's and Stockton's one year. And I don't know if we will ever be able to top these!? It was so much fun that day....and cold. It was the first time Stockton has ever seen the ocean let alone a beach, and he loved ever minute of it!! (Even when his lips started turning blue) Here are a few pics from the bunch. I am still going through the rest but I wanted to post some right away. I love them and I cant wait to take up wall space with them. :)

What a good lookin family!

2008-12-03T22:57:00.000-08:00

DISNEYLAND DAY 2!

2008-12-03T22:47:00.000-08:00

We went to Disneyland again and Stockton loved it. First we went to California Disney then back to DL. Stockton was Mr walk guy today. He either wanted to walk by himself or hold grandpa's hand. And when we wanted to turn him around he sat down and cried as though his life had been ruined. So we snapped pictures of his cute little fit and posted them. Tomorrow we are going to get family photo's done by one of the most amazing photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with, Lisa Boyle. I cant wait to see what she captures.

2008-12-03T19:59:00.000-08:00

2008-12-03T19:55:00.000-08:00

MY FIRST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND!!

2008-12-02T11:48:00.000-08:00

DISNEYLAND

2008-12-02T11:45:00.001-08:00

And a few more......

2008-11-30T17:59:00.000-08:00

I forgot that I posted more pics on our facebook but didn't put them on our blog.....oops. But here they are. The next morning was fun because he finally figured out that the balloons are not the devil. :) He now grabs at balloons everywhere he sees them. He hasn't had the "joy" of popping them yet, so we will see how he likes them after that happens.

More Birthday Pics......Still not happy :)

2008-11-30T17:56:00.000-08:00

Stockton's 1 year Birthday Party

2008-11-26T14:07:00.000-08:00

Ok so I swear that he wasn't this sad the whole time. He didn't take a nap until it was over. And believe it or not these pictures were taken at the beginning of the party before anyone showed up. He did get more excited when all his friends showed up. We all had so much fun and I cant believe I no longer have a baby :( sniff sniff........I don't know where this last year went it went by in a flash. Thank you to everyone that came and celebrated with us it truly meant a lot to Stockton, Kayvon and I. And thank you to Kimmy who made his birthday cake!!!! HOW AMAZING IS SHE?! And it was only her 5th cake she has ever made. She just woke up one day and said....."hmmmmmmm I think I'll make cake." And she did.......and thank you!!!

BATH TIME!!!!

2008-11-11T19:51:00.000-08:00

Ok, bath time used to be Stockton's favorite time of the day, or night I should say. But now that I finished school I am home every night he seems to not enjoy it as much as he used to. He just loves his mommy that much I guess. (yes I am bragging, hehehe) Last night we had a bit of fun playing in the tub. His hair is getting so long. He gets his first hair cut next month and I don't know how I feel about it.

5k Morning

2008-11-09T19:40:00.001-08:00

Yesterday we all went to a "Run for dogs" race at Wheeler Farm. We loaded up Kody, Murphy and Stockton and hoped for the best. With a baby missing his first nap, a puppy who's never been on a leash and a cranky old Murphy who bites everything that walks by his mouth.......I WAS FREAKING OUT!! But all and all, it went great!!! Stockton had so much fun looking at all the animals. Kody only weaseled out of his leash twice, and once Murphy realized that he had NO chance against the cows, it went pretty smoothly. That is until we took Stockton out of his stroller and he wanted to try walking on his own and had his first run in with his upper lip and the sidewalk. Everyone looked at me like I was the worst mother EVER!!!!

Helping daddy rake the leaves

2008-11-09T19:33:00.000-08:00

Today we went outside to help Daddy rake up the leaves before it snows again. Stockton loves it outside no matter how cold it is. Stockton had so much fun picking up leaves, and chasing the neighbors dog.

And they call him......mini me......

2008-11-09T18:59:00.000-08:00

Ok really? Could Stockton look anymore like his daddy? I think not!! Gosh he is getting so big, and I don't know how to slow him down. He is not only walking he is running. (mostly because I think he stays up longer) but he is so proud of himself, he just smiles ear to ear. (Another daddy trait)

Barack-ing the vote!!

2008-11-05T11:07:00.000-08:00

I couldn't get him to hold still long enough to take a good photo. My camera doesn't take pictures fast enough for a one year old. But here it is, celebrating the big election!!

TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!!

2008-11-03T17:58:00.000-08:00

This was Stockton's first Halloween and he dressed up as his best friend Rodney. We went to Daddy's work and grandma's work, then off to grandma Holt's house for an over due visit.

my first sugar cookie......

2008-11-02T13:22:00.001-08:00

This is where it all begins!!!!

Our first Circus!

2008-11-02T13:16:00.000-08:00

It was even my first time going to the circus, and to be honest I didn't know what to expect. Ill tell you that it was NOTHING like I thought it would be but still it was.........ok. :) I thought it was going to be dirty, dark and smell of animal crap, hay and children. I was only part correct.

The picture of daddy and Stockton was taken under none other then the "great" himself....John Stockton! :)

Chillin with daddy

2008-11-02T13:14:00.000-08:00

Loves hangin out with daddy on the sofa eating mashed potatos.

Stocktons first sushi night!

2008-09-28T09:00:00.000-07:00

Ok maybe we didn't give him fish but he did use chopsticks.....with the help from daddy of course. It was a fun day all together. Stockton had been sick for a week and the first day he was feeling up to leaving the house we took him to some science museum downtown. I had a hard time letting him touch anything. Just watching all the kids play, wiping their noses, putting their hands down their pants, so on and so forth. I swear I could hear the germs LAUGHING at me!! So after everything Stockton touched his hands were wiped clean. I still think Kayvon had more fun then all of us put together.

Kayvon the Rev!

2008-09-20T18:41:00.000-07:00

We went to one of Todd and Wende's friends wedding where Kayvon performed the ceremony. It was a great and NEEDED little get-a-way for a whole day. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. Never mind that I look as though I haven't slept in weeks and oh wait I haven't!! :) Although we all left wanting to pick up a box of fortune cookies for some reason. LOL

Elinor the elephant

2008-09-19T08:07:00.004-07:00

Stockton's new wrestling partner, his cartoon watching buddy, nap taking pal, and just an all around great new friend. He is so dang cute with Elinor. One day he will be big enough and coordinated enough to drag her around. But for now that's mommy and daddy's responsibility.

Eggs and toast for the first time......and loving it!!

2008-09-19T08:07:00.002-07:00

A bit messy but he is getting the hang of things!

2008-09-19T08:07:00.001-07:00

Playing in the back yard with Kody and Murphy. He is going to be an athlete for sure, blocking the ball all ready.

HE'S NOT AFRAID TO TELL YOU HOW HE FEELS!

2008-09-08T15:04:00.000-07:00

I love this photo, it just makes me smile. He was not happy that day and we caught it on film to remember forever!

WHO ME?

2008-09-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

Our newest part of the family.....

2008-09-07T09:31:00.000-07:00

His name is Kody and we picked him up a few days ago. He is about nine months old and everyone loves him!! Murphy is getting more exercise then ever before. And he is so great with Stockton!! Stockton LOVES Kody so much and shows it with petting him and hugging him. (aka hitting him and sitting on him) But even with all the love that Stockton gives him, Kody sits back and lets it happen. The only problem with Kody is....he's a pisser. No I don't mean not trained yet. He does great in the day time. Its just at night when he messes himself. Come to find out he has a problem that is SOOOOOO cheap to fix or we just have to put up with it. So after finding this out Kayvon and I talked about it. We all had already fell in love with the little guy so giving him back and getting our money back just wasn't an option, and the likely chance that some other family was going to accept him for this was slim to none, so the chances of him being put down in the end was very high. So with our hearts open and a bottle of carpet cleaner we called up the last owners and talked to them about what was going on and instead of returning him and getting our money back, they are giving us our money back to put it towards a kennel and all the things we will need to take this little guy on. So last night Kody slept in his kennel, and it went great. A small clean up in the morning but other then that I think 15 years of this will be a cake walk!!

HOME SWEET HOME!!!!

2008-09-01T14:41:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since I have even been able to get on a computer due to the forced moved and then waiting for comcast to come out to set up the cable and internet. But here we are, all moved in to our new place and we love it!!! So in the end it all worked out. I guess everything really does happen for a reason. And yes that is a big flag pole in the yard! WHAT? LOL Missed you all but will be keeping up with our blog again.

Just to give you an idea.......

2008-08-15T09:00:00.000-07:00

This is what we have been going through the last two weeks!! Need I say more on why our last blog entry is a picture of john mayer? Ill explain in more detail when we get our life back together!! But yes you are seeing things right. Yes we were kicked out of our home by the state due to unsafe living conditions. Yes Kayvon's station is trying to be over run by a big corp. and now has changed frequencies. AND YES SOME GIRL HIT MY PARKED CAR!!!!!!!! All in the same week!!! REALLY?!

John Mayer Concert

2008-07-22T09:18:00.000-07:00

What can you say about John Mayer? He is one talented human!! A little weird I think but still worth the money to go see live for sure!!

Animal Planet at the park

2008-07-21T12:43:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we went to the park with our friends. The TV channel Animal Planet came out and put together a fun day for kids, families and their pets. It was a lot of fun to get out and have the kids play but it was so hot and humid our clothes were sticking to our bodies. But the kids had fun and that's all that counts right?

Stockton's "6" month pics

2008-07-21T09:17:00.000-07:00

We took Stockton in for his six month pics and, well lets say that he was teething and not happy so we had to come back at seven months to try again. Needless to say they turned out amazing!! He is so dang cute I want to squeeze him and never let go!!!

2008-07-21T09:09:00.000-07:00

Some more of the six (7) month photos. If you want to see who takes these pics, her blog link is under our family and friends. Her name is Skye Johansen, and she is awesome!!

more pics...

2008-07-13T12:46:00.000-07:00

All the sisters in one room? This doesn't happen very much! (Wende is sort of there) P.S. Thats Todd, my brother in law....not the "help" LOL (I only joke cause I care:)

Pictures from our 4th of July Family reunion....the Holt side

2008-07-13T12:41:00.000-07:00

Just a bunch of pictures from the Holt side family reunion. It was a lot of fun seeing all the family. Wende, Todd and Macie stayed at our place for the time that they were in town. Maybe next time they come out we will stay at our place too! :)

Could I get any more on myself?

2008-07-12T14:51:00.000-07:00

Need I say anything more?

Playtime in the sun!

2008-07-12T14:49:00.000-07:00

Daddy and I played outside while mommy planted flowers! They are so pretty, but not as pretty as her. :)

Playtime with Riley

2008-07-12T14:44:00.000-07:00

This little boy is a spitting image of his daddy. It was Stockton's and Riley's first playdate. He hopes there will be more to come in the near future. He was the one that introduced Stockton to bubbles, and oh how he loves them now!

It's been crazy!

2008-07-12T14:04:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since I have had time to sit down and post.......so here we go. A ton has happened. Both sides of the family came in for family reunions, so it was a juggling act for a solid week. With driving back and forth from Salt Lake to Heber City, and it's a good thing gas is so cheap right now! So once we got back from this stressful yet ever so enjoying moment of this vacation, we found that the upstairs toilet was leaking downstairs and filling the carpet and all of Kayvon's vinyl record cases with water! AWESOME!!!!!! So now we have carpet ripped up, padding tore out (by me) and a two big holes in the downstairs bathroom for access to the pipes. With ruined vinyls laying out to dry! And in the mean time, no word form the landlord!!!! I am at the end of my rope with these guys!!! Anyways, so right now I am just going to post pictures from here and there. Just so you can see how cute our little boy is in case you forgot! :) hehehe

Stocktons first play date....and he loved it!

2008-06-19T21:25:00.000-07:00

Stockton's long distance girlfriend was in town and they finally got to have a play date. At first he was unsure about something just as small and just as loud as he was but soon got over it. But every time he would get a little too over confident, she put him back in his place. She is much more stable with her pushing, hitting, biting...you name it, she's got three months and five pounds on him! He learned very quick not to mess with her. If you asked me, I think he liked it. :) He misses Taylor and cant wait to see her again.

Kayvons first Fathers Day

2008-06-19T21:16:00.000-07:00

So now it was Kayvon's first fathers day and I wanted to go big. So while he was away "fishing" with the guys. I called over Big Rog and his dad to help put up a hoop. Ok, so why don't men read directions? I mean, they looked like a bunch of monkeys with tools in their hands. But in the end, two days later, one burned head, and four pieces of 2x4's that I swear didn't come in the box when it was delivered. But at last......a basketball hoop!! And he LOVES it! DANG......I'm a great wife! :)

And then there was two......

2008-06-19T11:39:00.000-07:00

Teeth that is! He got the first one a few days ago and then this morning, as I was lower his crib (that's a whole other story) he smiled at me and there it was. The second little tooth pokin through! I tried taking a picture of it but a few things got in my way. One of them being that when ever I would try to open his mouth it only made him clamp down harder and the other thing is, you really cant see them. They are almost clear looking, but you can sure feel them! When they come in a bit more I will for sure take a picture!

Just a "Broke Back" Weekend

2008-06-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

So this morning Kayvon left to St. George....without us. His good friend Danny is getting married, so all the guys are going camping. Kind of a "Broke Back" bachelor party if you will. Just kidding, although I did tell him he better come home with fish! He just laughed and walked out the door. I have left Kayvon home a few times while taking Stockton with me. Like California for my grandfather's funeral and then Arizona for my nieces 1 year birthday party. But it is much different when you are the one left home. Its crazy how I see him everyday and yet miss him as if he has been gone for weeks. I feel lonely, and a part of me wants to go poke Stockton awake so I can have some company. But I wont, instead Ill just turn off the computer, go upstairs and crawl into bed....our big, empty cold bed....sniff sniff. I cant wait for Sunday so we can see him again.

HE GOT IT!!! HE'S CRAWLING!!!!

2008-06-11T18:35:00.000-07:00

Well for the last month or two Stockton has been sliding on his tummy, then the army crawl and now today he has figured it out!!! He has figured out that he gets much further on his hands and knees then the other ways.......now, he hasn't stopped!!! Hold on to our hats!! I know that one day Ill look back and miss the days we could leave him on the sofa and come back and he would still be in the same place. But right now...........I CANT STOP SMILING!!!!!!!! It is days like this that make going to school every night more then worth it!! (Sorry video is not all that great, i took it with my phone first. It was closer then the camera! Plus, thats what he started crawling to.)

The one and only picture!!!!

2008-06-09T13:51:00.000-07:00

Viva SLC was this last weekend and it was a blast. Don't ask me how this is the one and only picture I took. (I know I am pissed about it!!!) Here it is, Stockton with a close family friend Dave Madsen. Stockton was the talk of the show! Everyone loved him as his daddy walked around showing him off with nothing less than the "I'm the proudest father in the world" smile on his face!!!

I love hanging out with my son!!

I think this is the first sign to look for.......

2008-06-09T13:35:00.000-07:00

We now put Stockton to sleep for his naps while he is still awake and he puts himself to sleep. As I was downstairs checking my email, I turned on the camera in his room above his crib and this is what I see on the monitor. I had to run upstairs to take a picture....and to fix the problem of course. I think this is what they mean when "you'll know when its time to remove the bumpers." I GET IT!!!! I just laughed and snapped away even though I know he should be asleep and Ill pay for this interrupted nap time later. But the pictures and the experience were well worth it!

They are finally home!!!

2008-06-05T10:47:00.001-07:00

They are finally home!! They haven't seen me for 9 weeks!!! I was a baby when they left to tour the world and now I am almost a full grown man!! I cant wait to spend time with them every Friday so mommy can go to school an extra day, so she can graduate early.

My best friend and Stockton's future wife!!

2008-06-05T10:36:00.000-07:00

This is my best friend Kari and her 9 month old daughter Taylor. They moved to VA. because her husband is going to school. I have not seen her in what feels like forever. Ever since high school we said that we would get pregnant at the same time and have two girls and they would be best friends like us.......crazy we both got pregnant the same year, (both unplanned) but she had the girl and I had the boy! That's ok cause now we have spent many a phone conversations planning their weddings! LOL

VIVA SLC THIS SAT!!!

2008-06-05T08:22:00.000-07:00

Go get your tickets now!!! Its a great concert that Kayvon and the Blaze team put together. It was so big last year that it was said to have the most people in the Gallivan Center since the Olympics!!! Check it out again, or if you missed it last year check it out for the first time!! It is a great day! SEE YA ALL THERE!!!

Just had to post this!!

2008-06-04T08:42:00.000-07:00

So, Kayvon makes all of Stockton's food from scratch. One day when Stockton was about three months old I brought home this AWESOME book for Kayvon. Its all baby food, from 4-12 months. Its a cook book for anything and every kind of food. Now that Stockton's been eating solids (single purees) for two months we can bump him up to more mixes of food. Here are some cute pictures of Stockton helping Daddy pick out his meal plan for the next two weeks. MY BOYS ARE SO DANG CUTE!!!!!

Park with friends

2008-06-04T08:38:00.001-07:00

Well, you know how I had said we take advantage of the good sunny days, cause we don't know how long it will last? It didn't last to say the least. So yesterday we went to the park with our friends Alisa, her two boys, Alex and Jaxon and Alona (the help) LOL hahaha.....sorry Alona I just had to throw that in there. You know I love you!!!! (just call it revenge for that five pound comment) Anyways, we all had fun. Stockton, Murphy and I stayed in the shade while Alex and Jaxon played on the slides, and rode around on their bikes. Ok, Jaxon rode around on his bike, Alex was testing how tough he was by crashing and burning! We found out that he is pretty tough. He is just setting the standard for Stockton.

Dinner at Gramps

2008-06-02T09:27:00.000-07:00

Last night we all went across the street to Grandpas to have a BBQ and enjoy the weather, (we never know how long it will last) Davids daughter is in town for the summer and E-dog is leaving this wed for a tour group of Europe. So we all got together for a fun night. We always have such a great time together. We took Stockton's bouncer over and of course he was the center of attention. Until it was time to take him home and put him to bed. So after we left they had to find something else to entertain them, so they all went inside to play a little Rock Band......even grandma jams out with us!!! She kicks butt at the base!

Walk to the park

2008-06-02T08:57:00.000-07:00

We live next to this park, and we have never been because of the crappy weather!! But the sun was out and we loaded Stockton up in the stroller and headed out the door!! All and all, I think he loved it......as long as he was in the shade. The pansy has been in a dark cave of a house his whole life that the sun is still new to him. He loves the shadows on the ground!! That's why in all his pictures he is looking at the ground. We couldn't get him to look up for the life of us!!

My first Mothers Day!!

2008-06-02T08:53:00.001-07:00

I know it was forever ago, but I just got the pictures from my mother in laws camera! This why taking your own pictures is key! Mothers day was a great day, it was my first and I wouldn't change it for anything. The sun was out, I think for the first time in months. We all got up and met Kayvon's side of the family for a little brunch at Market Street Grill. Then went home and just spent the day together as a family, just the three of us. It was an AMAZING first mothers day!!!

6 Months already?!

2008-05-30T13:58:00.000-07:00

We had our six month check up today, Stockton is in the 50% for weight and his head! (so doesn't take after his daddy, lol) Then he is in the 75% for his height, (that is after his daddy...thank goodness) All and all he is health and happy. The doctor says he will give us a run for our money. But to tell you the truth, we didn't need a doctor to tell us that! :)

Could I be any cuter?

It was a close game but with my wing span, I dominate under the basket!!

2008-05-29T10:32:00.000-07:00

Do you think someone should tell Banana Boat that their tear free sun screen SUCKS?!

This was not a shining moment in my life!

MY FIRST BASEBALL GAME!!!

2008-05-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

WHA HOO.......GO BEE'S!!

The first day of our family

2008-05-27T09:34:00.001-07:00

Stockton Paul Motiee, born 6 lbs. 4 oz. 19 1/2 inches long at LDS Hospital on November 21, 2007 after 21 long but amazing, life changing hours of labor. Daddy did amazing as he couldn't hold nor stand still for longer then 30 seconds at a time. I'm sure the coffee didn't help! :) While mommy was numb from the rib cage down for about 20 of those hours. I didn't mind considering for the first time in nine months I didn't have to worry about getting up every 10 minutes to use the bathroom.....that was AWSOME!!! The nurse woke me up telling me I was ready to start pushing. One push, I was told to stop cause the doctor wasn't even in the hospital and that it wasn't going to take as long as they thought. So with feet up in the air, crowning, and Kayvon's eyes wide open with excitement we waited for our doctor to get to the hospital to make the delivery. Once there, I pushed twice more and our son, we waited for so long to meet was here. And we have loved every minute of it!!!!
