He never stops!!

Kohen started scooting a week or so ago which wasn't bad, but now he can crawl and fast!! I left him on my bedroom floor in front of the mirror to play while I finished my hair, before I could get the dryer out and on, I look down and he is trying to crawl up my leg! AAHH! He is insame, he never stops!! Now his new thing is to crawl under things. First it was the coffee table, he would crawl underneath it and knock everything around he could find. Then he was not only knocking things down, we found him gnawing on the edge of the table!! Yeah like a have a freaking puppy or something. I know he is teething and all, but no one told me he was going to chew on things!! All my furniture has Kohen's little chomper marks all over it now including my legs if I don't pick him up fast enough!! (he gets impatient when he can't pull himself up and starts digging his chompers into whatever he is holding ie. my leg or arm!
Now he likes to crawl under his exersauser and play which is good, I don't care if he wants to chew on that but of course, he doesn't want to!
Here is his step by step.
Happy he sees a hut to crawl under and trys to get all his toys to take with him...

Has his hands full of his puzzle and takes a few balls with him.

Gets bored, now skips the gnawing of the furniture and decides to come out the other side.

Gets caught on the little ledge and high centers himself and starts screaming until I come and rescue him.

Trys to pull himself up on his toy, falls 3 times before finally getting up and now doesn't know what to do. He could try playing with some of the toys he finally reached...

Oh no! He would rather reach for me because he wants to be held while he plays with his toys.

And down he goes because he couldn't quite reach me :(

He is so stinkin cute. But I'm waiting for the day he can play by himself and not need me right by his side to be happy and able to play with his toys! I've been waiting 8 months and it still hasn't happened so I'm beginning to think it's a lost cause! People tell me to just let him cry which I have tried and I do let him do sometimes but one look in those sad puppy eyes and he has me wrapped around that pint size pinky!!! I love that little man.

Justin Phillipps Cunningham 3/21/1984 ~ 10/15/2005 Not a day has gone by these past three years that we don't think about you and miss your beautiful smile. We know you are sending us kisses from above and we send them back to you too! Keep looking over us all, especially your brother in Guatemala, he is depending on your companionship. Until we meet again, your loving family, Grandpa and Grandma C., aunts, uncles and cousins. Condie Lane is not the same without you!

Can't believe it has been 3 years since Justin has left us! Some days it feels like he has been gone forever and then there are still those days you wait for him to come popping around the corner like he has never left. Justin was adventurous, crazy, loving, outgoing, well lets just say there was never a dull moment when he was around, he was sure to make every minute with him count! We love him and miss him much but know we WILL see him again. I am so greatful to know the plan of salvation and families will be together FOREVER! Kohen will see and know his Uncle Justinko! Not to get all emotional on you... but I remember thinking that when he left the day of his funeral, that when our kids came how sad it will be for them not know their Uncle Justin. Every kid should have an uncle like him. We have many pictures and stories that will be shown and told over and over again so that they will know him when that time comes. Kohen is a never ending moving machine that doesn't like to hold still or anyone to show him what to do (I think I know where he got it, and I truly think Justin hand picked him out to send to us!) Can't you tell this kid was loved by everyone? Just look at all that stuff and how cute his grave is!! We love you and miss you dearly!! Gone but NEVER forgotten!

Another Weekend Getaway!

This weekend we went up to the Zurmatt Resort to spend the weekend to hang out together. I love hanging out with the fam. We always have a fun time. On Friday night we went on the Heebie Creebie. Which is also known as the Heber Creber and also where they do the Polar Express. It was pretty fun. It was a 35 minute train ride where they tell spooky stories and there are scenes outside the train that we passed, and on the way back the train broke down AAAAHHHHH!! Then all the spooky story characters climbed on our train and scared us all on the way back. We had lots of fun!!





The next day we just lounged around and Tish made us some yummy yummy pumpkin waffles that she made from scratch. Check out her cooking blog to get the recipe. www.batchofhappy.blogspot.com I would have to say these are a keeper! They were so delicious. Thanks Tish!!!
Aunt Tish let Kohen and Tennison take a bath together while Trav and went to the spa.

Best Buds playing with their monsters in their spider jammies.

We of course had to hit up the outlets too. This is Kohen's new snowsuit we got him. It was so funny to watch him in it. He couldn't even move.

He had so much padding he just laughed when he fell over because he didn't feel a thing!

He looks like a marshmallow! He's so SQUEEZABLE!!

St. George

We were in St. George over confrence weekend to do a little shopping and relaxing. It was really nice to not do much all weekend but shop. Trav took Kohen everyday we were down there so Karen and I could shop til we dropped.
So we didn't get too many pictures but we did get a good picture when we went to visit Trav's grandma and granpa Cunningham. Oh I almost forgot that some of us did go and see the play Les Miserables. It was suprisingly so good. I guess because I wasn't expecting much but I ended up loving it, rain and all. Yeah, it poured rain on us and we were just laughing and cuddling with each other. Too bad I didn't get a picture of us there :(

The cute 4 generations of the Cunningham's

Kohen was screaming so Trav threw his headphones on him to try and quiet him down and he froze like he was hit with a stun gun. It was so funny. He didn't move a muscle the whole time. I guess you can say he loved it. Now he and Peyton can cruise around the villa together rocking out!

He did really well on the long ride. I thought he would be awake and cry the whole way home, but he didn't he was pretty happy and fell asleep for most of it anyway. I was playing 'where's baby' with him and he thinks it is so funny he laughs so hard so this picture is of him playing with me.

Falls

Last weekend we hiked up to the falls. We decided to take Kohen with us and it was quite the hike. I swear it gets harder and harder each year. (maybe it's from the lack of shape I am in as the months pass) But anyway Trav was such a trooper and pretty much carried Kohen in the baby bijorn the whole way! I did carry him for about 20 minutes but only to feed him. (which we found pretty funny and Trav took a beautiful picture so we could remember the greatness of his invention!) oh well! The hike itself is so beautiful especially with the leaves turning colors.






It was a really nice hike, and once up there it is so peaceful!!
We will be going up there again not this weekend but next if anyone is up for it!!
We love you Justin and miss you!!

Could it be?

So I'm sitting in church with Kohen as he is screaming (which is nothing new for us, that kid does not sit still and is only silent when he is sleeping) And Cynthia (Trav's cute aunt) slips me some bread she had stashed for her own kids, so I start ripping it apart and shoving little pieces into Kohen's mouth to keep him quiet. I rubbed my fingers along his bottom gums as I was putting it in there and I felt something rough. I just thought WOW I haven't felt his little gums before they feel wierd! So Trav has to finally take him out (like we do every Sunday) So when I go to find them after sacrament, Trav says 'Chris found Kohen's first tooth' I was really confused, I thought they were playing a trick on me, like Chris had found a little kids tooth on the ground and was pretending it was Kohen's and was going to whip it out of his pocket or something... (just a little note: you have to know Trav and Chris to realize why I would have such a random and ridiculous thought like that) anyway I sat there dumbfounded racking my brain trying to figure out what they were saying, Finally I put it together... could that weird feeling in Kohen's mouth be a tooth? No, I've heard babies are so naughty, get runny noses, have diarreah, and even run a fever when they get teeth, and he has had none of these, so I stuck my finger in his mouth again to rub it. It was only rough in that one spot on the bottom. Of course I try to look in there and he just sticks that crazy tongue out of his whenever you touch near his mouth. I finally got a shot of his bottom gums and there it was!! KOHEN REALLY DID SPROUT HIS FIRST TOOTH!!! What the heck? It just sprouted overnight? I'm freaking out just a little because now I'm nervous that he is going to look like a snaggle tooth with one little lopsided tooth! And plus does teeth or even A tooth qualify your kid to the toddler stage? This means no more nursing right? That would be fabulous for me, but Kohen won't take formula... This will change his whole look which I'm not ready for? I never thought a tooth would be such a big deal but this tooth sprouting has me really bugged! Maybe I should just knock it out?

Helping Daddy

Holding on for dear life on his wheelbarrow ride.

Getting squished like a bug.

I love the FAIR!!

I know I'm super late posting but we had the privlege to go to the fair not once, but TWICE this year!! I know that place is crawling with diseases like gonorea but I absolutely love the fair. Here's why: a) the people that work there are nuts! b)the sideshow building has the craziest sights you have ever seen! c) the crazy, stinky animals and not to forget the largest animals you have ever seen. d) the giant yellow slide. e) they have deep fried anything at about every stand you walk up to (ie. corn dogs, sausage dogs, pb&j's, snickers, oreos, twinkies, funnel cakes... need I go on) and though it's sad to say we did try each of these delicious (some not so delicious) ammenities! What more could you ask for in one night? ok, maybe some sanatizing wipes, but hey it was so worth it!

The Fam

The Crew

Yummy (ok, not so much!)

I'm not gonna lie that pig was disgusting. Even Kohen was nervous to go by it. EWWH!

Our Family Tree

Happy Birthday to Trav!

Happy Birthday to Trav... again!

Carly and I made these cakes cuz we thought we we're expert cake decorators and we failed BIG TIME!! Oh well, it was hilarious and we had fun while decorating them. haha Thanks Carly! (p.s. that is a free hand drawing of a tractor, and tools on the other cake in case you couldn't tell :)

Kohen sippin on Dad's root beer!

They not only look alike, they dress alike too! Look how cute they are in their matching shirts! (we didn't plan this, it just so happens that almost all of Kohen's onsies now have DIE TRYING on them and Trav has lots of these shirts to he loves to wear so they match quite often now!)cute cute

This could be long!

I haven't posted for a while so here a few random pictures of what we've been up to..
Kohen giving his girlfriend baby Jordyn loves... I think she loves him!

Cousin Tennison loves to give Kohen hugs...

But not nearly as much as Kohen loves to give kisses!!!

ouch! let go of Tennison's cheek!

Blade doesn't love Kohen's kisses as much, he runs when Kohen gets in his face.
