Teething Time!

Poor Little Ezra has been waking up a lot at night crying. I looked in his mouth today and saw EIGHT Big HUGE teeth coming in all at once. No wonder the poor kid is in pain. His gums are all swollen, he has a slight fever, and he has a hard time eating anything solid.

I'm sorry little man. Hope your mouth feels better soon!




Currently cutting his 4 Canines and 4 First Molars (top and bottom). Ouch!

Haaa-Choooo!

At the Temple

 My handsome boys.

 This little man is walking! Awe, he's looking more and more like a little boy, and less like a baby.

 Four generations all together. My grandparents, my parents, my husband, and our son.

Thanks so much everyone for all your support. This has been quite the journey, and well worth it. This day was such a wonderful, memorable day. I'm so grateful for everyone who has been a part of it (including all of you who couldn't make it for this picture). We love you guys!

Ezra's Blessing

 I'm sure Ez is someday going to hate me saying this, but he looks like an adorable little pioneer girl in his blessing outfit. Especially with the hat, aka - bonnet. :)

  So we're there at the airport waiting for our plane to arrive. Then we saw it... You see it? It's right there. Oh wait, the fuel truck is blocking your view.

There it is. And look. It's the same size as that van.

  Passenger capacity: 8

 Honolulu

Molokai. Nothing but dirt roads and green pastures.  -They actually do have paved roads and electricity!

 A dirty little foot.

Ta-Da!

 Ezra's excited to camp.

  The chickens pecked our scrambled eggs clean off the pan.

  The makeshift carrier.

  Forward facing is more Ezra friendly.

The wind picks up the sand and makes the ground look fuzzy.

  Here we are at the airport ready to go home. After a three hour delay and an unexpected stop on the island of Lanai, we finally arrived home.

 Peek-a-boo!
