  • A Very Happy Half Birthday!

    A Very Happy Half Birthday!

    Our sweet baby boy is 6 months old! The joy that he brings to our lives is indescribable…we just cherish every second with our little man!

    One of the best parts about this last month is that Elliott is learning that he can joke around with us. He LOVES to fake laugh just to watch our responses. It’s so hilarious…sometimes we just laugh back and forth together for what seems like all day! Also this month, he’s started saying, “ma ma ma” and “ba ba ba.” And he thinks it’s HILARIOUS when he says the syllables and you repeat them back to him! I love his sense of humor!!

    Here are some picture highlights from this month…

    he can sit unsupported!
    So last month he could sit as long as he supported himself with his hands, but a week after his 5 month birthday he figured out how to sit without hands! Now he’s a champ…incredibly stable.

    he can stand without our support!
    And he LOVES this position…it’s his new favorite. 

    he’s still working on crawling!
    He can tuck his knees and sometimes push himself up on all fours and has accidentally scooted himself backwards a couple times…

    he loves his Leap Frog table! 

    Mostly because he loves chewing on the book 🙂
    Mmmm!!

    Such a stud.

    This is my favorite picture of him this month! I love that face!!!

    Classic Elliott 
    And Classic Elliott 🙂
     6 month birthday party!
    Grandma and Grandpa Moberg, Kevin, Tabitha and the cousins all gathered to celebrate Elliott’s 6 month birthday. We had mint mud pie in his honor :). 
    Opening his first present
    He loves his new turtle!
    Snuggles with Taylor
    And Hailey!
    I love this picture! Besides Hailey’s adorableness, look at the reflection in the window behind me…Micah is on Tabitha’s lap and Taylor is playing with him the same way Hailey is playing with Elliott! I love it!
    He loves his new photo chew book from Grandma & Grandpa
    Micah and Elliott
    And now to end with some smiley pics of our little love
    My favorite 🙂
    Elliott’s friend Henry let him borrow this outfit for a few months. We snapped a few pics before giving it back. So cute!
    and a couple shots of the padres

    Stripe twins!

    He’s clearly ready for a nap :).
    I can’t believe we’re halfway to a year. That makes me so happy and so sad all at once… My little baby is practically a grown boy. Well, solids, here we come!! 

  • Good Times, Great Oldies

    Good Times, Great Oldies

    And when I say “oldies” I’m not referring to age here, people.


    These are some of Brian’s oldest friends. Again, I’m not talkin’ wrinkles and gray hairs, but length of friendship years. Kristin and Denise have known Brian since even before I knew Brian (gasp!) and are two of the biggest “Brian Moberg” fans that I know. And there’s nothing greater than being around people who think your husband is just the greatest. It was so great to spend an evening with them. 

    Piper, Wesley, Denise, Brian, Elliott, Kyla & Kristin
    Kristin just may be one of the most compassionate women you’ll ever know in a lifetime. She spends her days devoted to helping middle-schoolers live peaceful lives on the straight and narrow. 


    Denise is a super fun, hip mama of three who teaches her kids with passion and patience. We wished her husband Dwayne could have joined us! 


    Kyla and Piper loved lil’ Elliott!


    Cah-ute-ee-pie!!! Little Wesley will steal your heart in an instant!

  • Colorado

    Colorado

    We spent a week in Colorado visiting friends and family!


    We dressed Elliott in his Bronco colors and hopped on the plane!


    He is becoming an expert flyer! 


     Elliott hasn’t seen Grandpa and Nonna since he was one week old!



    Getting re-acquainted with his cousin Fable

    “Elliott, I’m a princess…here, take my hand!”

    Who can sit up the straightest?

    Opening a present from Grammy Karen

     Elliott finally got to meet Aunt Amber, Uncle Jeff, … 

    He loved bouncing with Uncle Jeff
    …and his cousins Gryffin, Jaxon, and Rowan!


    Fable, Rowan, Gryffin & Jaxon

    Fable, all tuckered out 🙂

    Rowan and Fay…so cute :). They are just 2 months apart!
    My nieces and I all wore purple the same night 🙂

    Elliott in front of Pike’s Peak for the first time!

    Reading bedtime stories with Nonna



    Garden of the Gods with Grandpa





    Elliott’s first bowling adventure!

    Elliott got a strike the first time he bowled with Daddy! Seriously!! 

    Fable LOVED the wind machine!
    Have you ever seen a cuter face? I didn’t think so… She is wonderful :).


    Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with Nonna… 


    and Aunt Melanie and Fable…


    the giraffes…


    Daddy and the giant bear…


    Mommy, and Uncle Doug


    P.S. Post high school, strangers would always ask Doug and me if we were dating. When I saw this picture I just laughed, thinking about that…this could totally be a family portrait :). Elliott and Fable could be brother and sister with those big blue eyes! Ha!
    Grandpa and Nonna bought Elliott this little hat from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo…could he possibly be any cuter??

    Our little safari man with his giraffe
     FRIENDS…
    so grateful for my dear friends from Colorado!


    Sara and Emmy
    Michele
    Jill and Kari
    Charlotte, Noah, Caleb, Quinn, Ava & Elliott

    Two of the bravest, best mommies that I know!

      Kari and I were pregnancy bonding buddies, in the most unfortunate way. 🙁  Kari takes the cake for the worst pregnancies I’ve ever heard of. I sure did give her a run for her money though with mine :). We were so excited to see each other–not pregnant this time–and for our little buddies to finally meet. They are just 12 days apart!!

    Here’s a pic from November when we were both almost 6 months pregnant.


    And here are our boys…on the outside :). Yahoo!!!


    You can see they called each other and both planned to wear stripes.
    And the girls…

    Brian, double-fisting it 🙂
    Bosom buddies 🙂


    Until next time, Colorado!!
