9 Months!!!!!

I can't believe our baby boy is 9 Months old!! My life long friend (I consider her an older sister actually) Tasha took these darling pictures of Dane. Thank you so much Tasha....We love you and we're sad you're moving to California!

Naughty!

My NAUGHTY Banford Boys!

Dane has the cutest little grin when he knows he's caught doing something naughty!

I love him so much!
He did this for about an hour
Pick them up...

Throw them down...

Such a handsom mischief maker !

Daddy was in charge of cleaning him up after this next

extremely NAUGHTY father/ son ordeal.

Oh no...Daddy made me do it!

So we were driving and Dane was being kind of fussy, and then when we were home I realized he had been oftly quiet the last little bit of our ride. Well....DADDY GAVE HIM A RED VINE!!!! He looked like the Joker:) He was so happy about it!

Bens New Location!

I've been meaning to tell everyone that we finally made the switch, Ben is working at Ardell Brown now! We decided to cut out that nasty commute and officially become Salt Lake county residence. Davis county has been awesome this past 3yrs for me and about 20yrs for Ben, (actually anyone who knows me knows I hated living all the way up there:). It has been a great move for us! So if you are looking for something comfy to camp in just ask for Ben:)

Swimming at Grandma Jo's

This is my FAVORITE!!! He is so freaking funny!
Mamma and Daners

Aunt Errin let dane go Skinny Dipping until I finally got his swim suit! I forgot it! Don't worry though, No poop in the pool, it was only for a few minutes.

Last week we went swimming at my Grandmas. Dane absolutely LOVES swimming! My cousins take such good care of him. He splashed them all in the face:)

4th of July in East Canyon, and a BBQ with the Petersons

First time seeing fireworks! Dane loved it!!

Dane loves East Canyon!! It was his first time in our favorite camping spot!

Dane and Grampa Heward snoozing in the trailer, it was such a good nap time! He loves his Grampa!

Dane loves playing with his Uncle Ryan.

Dane was copying all the big boy stuff Lincoln was doing. He's a quick learner and was climbing up on everything then he'd look around to make sure everyone was watching. He's so funny. I love his little mischievous smile.

Dane and Lincoln weren't sure about each other for the first couple of minutes. But they got friendly fast!

Getting ready for the BBQ. He was crawling away from me so fast cause he didn't want his shirt on....he knows he was being a little stinker!!

3 year anniversary surprise!

On Friday night Ben had just gotten home from work and said there is a bunch of weird stuff on our porch....this is what I found:) Our anniversary was this weekend and he surprised me with a trip to California. He had everything all set up, flights, hotels, Errin and Brandon were already planning on watching Dane. I really was sooo surprised, I mean he's thoughtful in the way that he is super loving, attentive, caring, helpful, and affectionate....but never EVER has he done a "real" surprise get away type thoughtful thing. I was the happiest girl in the whole world!!! Here are a few of our pictures from are weekend!

In Hollywood there was a movie scene in the middle of the road, it was crazy....and spider man took the picture for us:)

Our hotel had these really cool chairs, but they were really uncomfortable!

UMMM, YA, Ben insisted on wearing this hidious, ridiculous fanny pack to disney land...but he loved that he wasn't going to lose anything, it was pretty funny:)

It was such a fun get away. We ate SOOO much food, and I wish so badly that I got a picture of Ben eating the giant turkey leg in California Adventure. It was so sick, but he LOVED it. We love trying new restraunts...and especially new desserts. But we were ready to come home cause we missed Dane sooooooooo much. He had fun with Errin and Brandon, they took him to church, swimming, and out to eat a few times. They love him so much, we're so lucky he has such good aunts and uncles to take care of him. Although, he is such a wild man, I think he wore them out:)

Happy Fathers Day!

We had a great Fathers Day! We made Ben breakfast in bed, we visited Bens dad (Grammpa Mike, in the picture above,) then we went to my parents and visted Grammpa Heward. I wish I got a picture with him:( Shoot. Anyways, Errin and Brandon taught us a new game called "Bochy Ball." It was fun, Dane watched, actually "studied" all of us while we played. He is sooo curious and funny. He "uh" "ooo" "huh's" at EVERYTHING, I think he's going to be a talkative!

Our Memorial Day Trip

Dane loved our walk in Snow Canyon. He was so excited to see lizards and all the birds. He loves to be out and about doing anything new.

Pneumonia & Teething SUCKS

Dane got pneumonia...AGAIN! Poor little guy can't catch a break. He also had the flu with it for about 3 days he kept throwing up and throwing up. We didn't sleep for about a week. I was so worried and OCD about checking his temperature every 5-10min, and would just cry and cry and cry. I felt so helpless, I couldn't do anything to help him feel better. Between antibiotics, steroids, and these breathing treatments he finally is all better!

He LOVES "real" food, he gets so crazy and messy when he's eating! He looks so skinny here, he lost 1lb when he was sick...which is a lot when you only weigh 17lbs. But he's putting the weight right back on.

UM....YA, he's biting on his high chair tray! Teething is so miserable, he gets to distraught that he ends up doing this!

Year End Dance Show

Last night was the year end show for the studio I've taught at for the last two years. Here is a picture of the teachers...its a huge staff, but we have tons of students:) I'm going to miss all of them so much, its my last year at this studio. I l.ove the teachers so much, I've learned something from all of them. I will miss all of my students too, they're such hard workers and have grown so much these past few years! But I know they'll keep workin it, Good Luck next year!
