He loves stairs

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!

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?!

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!

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

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!
