Kansas, Foreigner and Styx

Me, Kyle, Mandy(my sister), Shaun (bro-in-law) and Patrick (brother) went to the Kansas, Foreigner and Styx concert on Saturday night. We all wore rock band shirts and bandanas so we would fit in. All the guys also wore wigs. Shauns wig was the best! people kept asking if they could touch it and took pics of him. Kyle is wearing his favorite Karate Kid bandana...classic! He always has to pull a face!

I thought Foreigner put on the best show.

Styx finished off the night.

There was definitely lots of other entertainment besides the bands. Gotta love the pink mohawk.

There was lots of this...awesome!

How about the milk jugs! Pretty sweet!

Weird videos!

My brother, Patrick, is always up to something crazy or weird. Here are a few videos of him I thought were kinda funny! He is such a nerd!

Crazy Sleeper

Ezra has entered the crazy sleeping positions phase. The last few nights when I go check on him he is always in some wierd or cute position so I thought I would get a few pics.
I think it is so cute when babies fall asleep with their bums in the air!
This is the most crazy one! When I put him to bed the other night I heard him get up and start playing around in his crib, after about 20 minutes it went quiet so I went to check on him to make sure he was covered. When I saw him I was a little shocked...how in the world could anyone sleep like that? He was completely bent in half with his face straight down on the mattress! (I was a little freaked out about it too, Im glad I checked on him quickly!) It's like he just got tired, sat down, bent over and fell asleep.

Cute!

He also seems to flip upside down in his crib lately...maybe I should just put him to bed upside down so he will end up the right way.

Not a sleeping one but after his nap the other day I heard all this banging going on in the monitor. I went in and he had gotten a hold of his monitor...I love the little smirk under his binky!

Bubble Boy

I got Ezra a bubble machine for the tub and he loves it!

This one just cracks me up...whenever he is diaper free he scratches his bum constantly. He has all these little scratch marks on his cheeks...such a guy:)

Day at the Zoo

Yesterday we took a trip up to the zoo with Mandy, Anna, Nic and Cooper. It was the perfect day for the zoo, the sun wasn't out so it wasn't hot at all. There was a little wind here and there but not bad at all.
Kyle and Ez checking out the geese.

Elephants. (Ezra has been drooling tons so I have to keep his bib on constantly or he will soak his clothes!)

Kyle and Ez, Nic and Coop. What cute Dads!

The big Rhino

Watching the Penguins.

Ezra loves to walk...and he loves his cousin Anna as you can see by his huge smile!

The Kids.

Ezra really wanted Anna's churro!

Nic and Coop, Mandy and Anna, Me and Ezra getting ready to leave. The kids and Nic were spent!

Problem Solved!

I got a gate! I figure the only sure way of keeping him away from those stairs is to get a gate up ASAP! Luckily I didn't have to buy one, I have been reaping the benefits of my sister having a baby first:)! Ezra LOVES his walker...he is constantly plowing through anything and everything on the floor and rams into things, backs up, and continues running around!


Just love this little face (too bad its a little blurry)

Swinging with cousin Anna.

He has so much fun swinging! As you can see by the huge smile!

Swinging together.

Love the happy face!

A few fun facts: At 10 months Ezra is belly crawling all over the place, has 2 bottom teeth and 2 top teeth popping through. He blabbers a lot and loves to say da da most. He growls when we ask him what the bear says, waves hi and bye, plays patty cakes, gives 5, loves to walk with us holding his hands and is a swimming machine!

My Worst Nightmare!

Ever since I got Ezra a walker it has been my worst nightmare thinking about him going down the stairs in it. I have been SO SO SO conscious about blocking the stairs with his carseat the very second I put him in it (the rubber on the bottom keeps it from moving, until I get a gate). Im sure you know where this story is going!!! Well the other night we had a bunch of our families at our house and with people coming and going up and down the stairs it got moved several times. We failed to mention why we had a carseat in the middle of the walkway! I was cleaning up the kitchen a little and all of a sudden I heard my Brother-in-Law yell and run...(I don't really remember what...I think I went into shock! I knew....it was happening...I heard a big crash and tumble! I went running with absolute FEAR filling my body...NO NO NO, that CAN'T be Ezra...I NEVER leave the stairs un-blocked!!! This was what I saw...except obviously Ezra was IN the walker at the time! My Bro-in-Law barely missed him and saw him go down, he flipped over a few times and landed like this.


This is my usual barricade.

He screamed for a few minutes and seemed quite tramatized...as was I! He hit the side of his head on the baseboard on his way down and got a big rug burn on his chin from the carpet at some point.

Back to his happy self. I was so worried he would have some sort of head injury but I checked his eyes and he was acting normal. It could have been so much worse, as I had imagined it over and over in my head.

Battle wounds!

I think it took me way longer to recover from it than him! He is my little tough guy!

Snow Day

A few snow storms ago we slept at my parents house so Kyle could have quick access to Snowbird in the morning for a sweet powder day. I took Ezra out to play in the snow and he seemed to have a pretty good time. First I put him in the swing and he loved it.

Then we made snow angels:)

I plopped him down in the snow and he seemed to be having a pretty good time, until....

....He tried to crawl and this happened! He was not too fond of the cold snow all over his face!

These are just a few random pics I just took off my camera...

Anna and Ez playing in the pack n' play while we were up in Snowbasin a few weeks ago on a ski trip.

Just thought he looked cute wrapped in the "magic" red blanket on our bed so I had to take a few pics! I call it magic because when we had a hard time getting him to sleep we would wrap him in it and he would instantly fall asleep!

Bathtime fun! Anna made sure she put a "3" under her name since she is 3.

Catching up

I am trying to keep up with blogging since I don't scrapbook so whenever I unload my camera to the computer I like to post some pics. These were from a few weeks ago so I figured I better get on it so I don't get too behind. I even have more on my camera that I have to unload.

He loves to just stand and hold onto things!

Last week, (When we thought it was spring!) we went with some friends to Gardner Village to enjoy the warm weather. We walked around and let the babes look at the ducks, birds, fish, and Geese. (Thanks Heather!)

Ezra loved the Goose, I really wanted to let him pet it but I wasn't about to let him get his finger bit off. He kept trying to walk to it whenever I set him down.

Our friends Briana and Maddie.
