My ADORABLE nephew!

Oh, I forgot I had these videos! Since Kent and I have been hanging out a lot, and Lisa and Dave are still in Russia, I try to send videos to Lisa so she can see her little grandson, and they are just SO CUTE.

Here is Kent playing at the park:


Here is Kent showing some of the words he knows:


He's such a smart kid, I love it! Another thing he does that I LOVE but for obvious reasons can't get a picture of is when I'm driving with him and he is singing along to the music! Right now he's loving Taylor Swift! He can't really get any of the words right, or actually the tune either, but it's still SUPER cute! I'll have to get Steve to drive with us, then maybe I can catch him singing in the back seat. Love it!

WARNING! This is going to be a baby-heavy post.

So much has happened since last I blogged! We've done lots of fun house updates, a new nephew was born, and we went to Kanarraville to see the awesome eclipse that happened on the 20th.

My little nephew Emmett is just adorable! I have taken every chance to snuggle with him, and it also means I get to spend more time with my other nephew Kent to give Liz some time to hang out with just Emmett! Eh who am I kidding, it's all self-serving because I just LOVE hanging out with Kent!

Soooo cute!
Little angel baby!
Cutest yawn ever!
Uh oh, he's a thumb sucker!!!
Cutest brothers ever!

Is he not the cutest thing EVERRRR? He's pretty much gorgeous! Also, the little shirt he's wearing with the owl on it, I made it! Also his quilt! I finished them a few days before he was born. Pretty good timing, eh?

The five little onesies I made!

This quilt is the best one I've made so far! Although, I do actually say that after every quilt I make, soooo.... doesn't really mean much...

 Ready for more baby pictures? Good, here they come!!!

Look at those eyes!!!

His little foot... hehehe!

With Uncle Trenton!

About to sneeze......

And... Sneezed!!!
 Anyway, I have just been having a BLAST with Kent! We've been to the Zoo, the park, the library, the grocery store... and a ton of other places! It's been so much fun! We've definitely been having far too much fun together.

At the park.

At Joann's trying on hats!
He wasn't too happy about that last picture... I do need to upload more, I've definitely taken a ton of pictures but they're all on my phone!
Here, have some older pictures of Kent, just for fun!





Seriously, I have the cutest nephews ever! How am I NOT supposed to have baby fever with kids like this around?!

It's also been really fun because my brother in law Trenton has been back in town so we get to see him a lot now, and he is such a goof ball! It's literally like having another Steve around the house, they have the same sense of humor, the same weird habits, they are so funny!

We went to Kanarraville over the weekend to see the eclipse! It wasn't a total eclipse, it was an annular eclipse, meaning the moon covered the sun, but it wasn't close enough to the earth to cover it entirely, so there was a "ring of fire" left around the moon creating a really cool image! We had these glasses, like the flimsy paper 3D glasses but for the eclipse, so we could see the whole thing! I was taking pictures with my camera, putting the glasses over the lens, so I got some pretty cool shots. I didn't realize though until the very end that I was actually fully zoomed out on my camera! Oops!




It was pretty awesome seeing it all happen! Took about an hour for the "ring of fire" and then we decided to head home, because we both worked the next day. However, seems like everyone else had the idea of going down to Southern Utah for the eclipse, so traffic was terrible! It took 3.5 hours to get there and SIX to get back! Terrible! Luckily Steve is a trouper and drove all the way back. Also, it was really fun because we got to talk to my mother-in-law Lisa for ages! We never get to talk for too long because they are ten hours ahead, and so it's hard to get the timing right, so it was really nice to chat and catch up with her.

I have already posted soooo many pictures, I should probably call it a day on this blog post! Tomorrow I will try and take some pictures of the fun things we've done around the house and post those sometime this weekend!

Did anyone else get to see the eclipse?
