Monster Blog

This will be a monster blog because I am posting way too many pictures. I had a lot of catching up to do. I wanted to give everyone a chance to see my last blog (if you haven't read it, go check it out). It has been so fun to read all of the comments and it will be BEYOND wonderful to read all of them to Kanyon. I am blown away...I thought we might get 50 comments and that was a stretch. Anyways, thanks so much for commenting. We are wowed and humbled and touched.

Ricky and Cooper came by to bring us something a while back. These 4 have some fun times ahead of them.
After Kanyon's party, we headed to Paris. We were able to spend the day there and be "with Jayde" There are a couple of neat things that I thought I'd tell about. First of all, her headstone. We wanted her to have something from Kory's home since she is buried at my home. His parents have had this rock on their front porch for years that they found and saved because it is shaped like the state of Montana (Kory's home). Anyways, they had her name, etc. carved on the stone and that is her headstone. I really love that it is so special. In the background of this picture you can see a little purpleish tree. When my grandma Nanny Betty was sick she wanted a Japanese Maple for her yard. Her daughters bought her one for Mother's Day that year, but she never got to see it and enjoy it. My parents planted it out by Jayde. I really love that. Speaking of, my parents have done so much to keep her place looking nice and pretty. They planted some flowers out there and it just looked so good. I find peace in things like that. Here is as close as we can feel to our complete family.

My little twins


We'll move on now....to lighter things:

Kanyon made his first trip to Chili's. Thanks to Uncle Pee Wee and Aunt Gwenie for the giftcard. We went to church last Sunday and decided to go in and eat....A Phillips Phamily first. We are starting to enjoy getting out more. After browsing the menu with Dad, Kanyon went with the Chicken Crispers.

This elephant has been hanging on his carrier since we brought him home, but this is the first time he's ever seen it! Thank GOD for our improving eyes!!
These 2 boys were beat after our big trip to Church and Chili's...I went to check on them and this is what I found:
That same day we packed up and headed over to the Pruitts to enjoy the beautiful day with them. Kanyon got these cool shades for his birthday.

"PEEEEEE U! What's that smell??...COOPER!!!!"

Actually he hated the glasses and did his best to figure out where they were and took them off ASAP. Bummer

Me and Cindi with Cooper and Kanyon ready for our walk. Aubrey and LoLo were too fast for the camera.

Kanyon chillin' with Ricky....boy, Ricky and Cooper are all over this blog! Kory carried him on the walk back and he fell asleep just like this!
Ok, lots of people have mentioned how Kanyon is always happy. I will agree. He is a very peaceful and happy baby. Not a big crier. BUT when the boy decides to cry, he can play it up. We were over at my Aunt and Uncle's house and he was sitting in the chair with his Great Aunt Mary Lynn. He really REALLY wanted to eat the tree by the chair. When we took it out of his hand he was a little bit unhappy.
What's a good cry without that bottom lip? And the red eyebrows are a crying Kanyon trademark.
Since Kanyon has 6 teeth, I thought I'd give him a biter biscuit thingy. I wasn't sure what he'd do with it. I think he pretty much just thought it was a toy. He put it in his mouth, but didn't really seem to treat it any different than putting a toy in his mouth. Didn't get a good taste of it I don't think.

He did put it a little too far in his mouth and our first biter biscuit experience ended with the Bumbo tray covered in throw up. Better luck next time.

I saw him in the chair and went to go get his bottle. I found him like this. He was hiding..I told you he hates to eat. (the towels, by the way, protect the new recliner when the milk comes back up)

Thursday Me and Kanyon and Mindi and Addison took a little trip to see Mary and her new baby boy Weston. Here are Kanyon and Addison ready for the ride. They were GREAT in the car.
I'm pretty sure Kanyon is playing tough guy and talking smack to Weston in this one.

Addison and Kanyon torturing Weston...he's saying "STOP!!"
Kanyon just wanted to make sure Weston didn't have a fever.
Kanyon-BORED

Here are the mommies and their babies. I'm sure lots of moms read this so I'll ask for some advice...Kanyon out grew the headrest things in his car seat, but as you can see, he needs something to keep him from flopping all over the seat. Any ideas???

And the greatest new thing in the world is my new NIECE!!!!!

Landry Lucille Spencer was born early early Friday morning. I really love her SOO much. It is crazy how I much I love my nieces and my children-- it seems like I'd run out of room, but the second Landry came I found a way to love her just as much. What a great thing. Maurine was a crazy good mommy delivering this beauty and Landry was so good she didn't even need a Dr. there. The Dr. got there to see her weighed and that was it. We think she kind of looks like big sister Avery only with dark hair. Maybe that dark hair came from her Aunt P.

Clay and I traded kids for a second.

How great is this little baby girl. Sorry I look so nappy..I jumped in the car and headed to Paris as fast as I could. No time for a shower when there's a new baby to kiss.



By the time you finish this, Landry will probably be in Kindergarten. Sorry.
