Little Gym/Gymboree

I have Finn enrolled at Little Gym and Gymboree. He loves his classes so much. In fact, when we park the car in front of both locations... he squeals w/ excitement, and sometimes claps his hands. :) Finn loves shooting baskets there.

The balls are another one of Finn's favorites!

Throwing stuffed animals through the hole.

Climbing up the stairs!

Hanging out w/ the other babies

Getting ready to do a trick



Walking on the balance beam

Just look at our tough guy!

Let's get this party started!

Byington's Ranch...

We had so much fun at The Byington's Ranch. Finn loved the horses... and especially the little pony named Chubby.

Looking very small compared to this horse... yes daddy, Kurt, and Finn!

Family Fun. Giddy Up!!!

Cowboy Finn

It's been awhile since I've updated my blog... so thanks to my sis for inspiring me to get w/ the program. :)

Just look at those BIG Blue Eyes!!!


I love this photo. It reminds me of high school and the little saying... Cowboy Butts Drive Me Nuts. haha :)

Finn is 13 months old in these photos

Finn is usually willing to share his findings w/ others. Here he is w/ a piece of bark. (What a treasure!)

Our little man is such a boy. He loves dirt... dirt.. dirt!!! Did I mention dirt?

Finn's 1st B-Day

Lehi's Roundup Kid's parade just happened to fall on Finn's B-day. So, we bought him a wagon as his B-Day gift and I went to town decorating it to match his "Superman" B-Day theme. The parade ended up being a lot of fun. Thanks to all of our family and friends who supported Finn in the parade and at his B-Day BBQ. It was a special day!!!
Haydin and Finn enjoying their suckers and the parade!!!

When does the bike and wagon parade start?

Chillin' in my new B-Day wagon

Finn... destroying his B-Day cake

Cousins (Haydin and Avery) spent Finn's B-day with him at Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country/Petting Zoo. It was a great day!!!

The B-Day Boy

Finn's favorite thing at Farm Country

was the horse carosel!!! (He cried when I took him off of the horse... so I had to hurry and buy him another ticket so he could ride again. Then he really threw a tantrum when I took him off the horse the second time. Needless to say... we didn't ride the carosel another time.)

Finn's surgery

Finn... just after checking into Primary Children's Hospital for Uteral Replacement Surgery. (He had severe reflux in both kidneys and we knew that he would be needing to have this surgery from the time he was a monoth old. In fact, a prenatal ultrasound showed engorged kidneys which was a red flag prior to him being born.) Anyway, we are glad to have the surgery over and our little guy is healing.

We had to change Finn into the hospital's PJ's. The poor little guy didn't know what he was getting into... so looks happy in this picture. (He was flapping and clapping his hands.)

Exhausted... after having to wait an extra two hours longer than what we were expecting. (Will and I were nervous that Finn would freak out due to hunger. He hadn't had anything to eat since the night before & only clear liquids until 6 am... and it was 2:30 pm.) Thank goodness Finn was distracted by all of the other children in the waiting room... after taking a quick nap on daddy's shoulder.

In the waiting room there was a play area. Finn loved banging the plastic plates together. :)

Finn also loved the rocking horse but notice that he still had the plate in his hand. (He kept rocking w/o hands, and jumping on the horse. It was pretty cute.) After getting home... I had to break down and buy Finn a rocking dog which was similar to the rocking horse. I know I'm a sucker.


Rocking my baby after he came out of the recovery room. I love Finn so dang much.

Daddy and Finn.

Our poor baby was so swollen after his surgery. Take a good look at this photo and the previous/next because he was only in the crib long enough to snap a few shots. Will and I held him the entire time that we were in the hospital... that's right... even throughout the night. We are the worst spoilers ever!!!

Finn doesn't have a binky, or a fave blankie... but loves his monkey. This is just prior to us taking Finn home... just in time for Easter the next day.

Finn's First Easter

Finn with all of his Easter goodies. (He was released from Primary Childrens Hospital the evening before Easter... Thank Goodness.) He looks a little tired and "drugged" in this pict.

Finn peeling an Easter egg and getting it all over our carpet.

It was fun watching Finn expolore the hard boiled egg. (I think he thought it was a ball with a soft center.) He was very interested in it. :)

The boys posing with their Easter eggs.

Parker and Finn are such great buddies. (They had lots of fun making Easter eggs together.)

Finn loved his new football!!! (Notice that it matches his PJ's.)

Exhausted (in grandpa's arms) after an "egg"-citing day. Finn loves grandpa Karl so much. He lounges for him from mom and dad.

Our BIG Guy Part II

Can you say Rico Suave?

Finn loves his frog chair! He bounces on it while flapping his arms & clapping his hands. It's so dang cute.

Lately, Finn does this strange thing with his tounge. (Finally, I was able to capture it on camera.)

Spring Fam Pict

It's so entertaining watching Finn jump in his jumperoo. He's just about too big for it, but loves it so much. He gets quite the aerobic workout from jumping so vigorously & even works up a sweat. (Each time I take him out his head is a little sweaty. It's kinda funny.)

P.S. Gotta love that he's jumped off one of his socks in this picture.

"Future Soccer Playing Fireman". (The soccerball and firetruck are a few of Finn's favorite toys.)

I love this pict of my two guys laughing and having fun together. They are good buds. Will is such a fun daddy. (Thanks for being such a fab father.)

P.S. Notice our BIG guy's belly. Isn't that way too cute?

Our BIG Guy

Uncle Spencer (Carrot Top) babysat Finn the other night and snapped some pretty cute pictures of our BIG guy. Thanks Spence for babysitting. Finn adores you.
