Have some cold!

It looks like things will be getting warmer! Yeah! It was 8 degrees when I got into my car after class, and the car read 0 degrees when I out of it. That was only at 9pm. I hope you all help me enjoy the warmer weather.

Happy MLK JR. DAY!

This past week has been pretty crazy! As of a week ago, Grant weighed 7 lbs 9 oz, and was almost 21" long. He isn't fat, but he is rounding out, and his bird legs aren't so bird like anymore... sad. It keeps snowing here in Idaho, no suprise, but it doesn't seem to stop. Ben said that he hasn't seen a winter like this since '99... yep- he's been here that long! It's pretty, but hard to drive in. Ben had a rock concert this weekend with his band "My Camera." So to suprise him, I had Todd, Emily and Sarah come up. He was out in the car cleaning, and I snuck them into the house. Then I told him to come into the house.... SUPRISE! It was great! Then, due to the snow, all three of Ben's siblings stayed an extra night. We are having a blast... everyone has some sort of laptop (except for me....hmmm... when is that going to change!?). There are Guitar Hero battles being had, and a lot of Grant watching. Here are some cute pics for you all to check out!

Grant enjoying the bouncer chair Leah let us borrow... at first he was a bit confused, but I think he likes it now.






GUITAR HERO 3

I don't think we have enough pictures!

Only because we are so obsessed with our son!

School...?!

School is here, and we are now the students in class that can raise their hand when the question is asked, "Does anyone have any kids?" Believe me, that was strange. I am taking 13 credits and had the scary reminder that I have to add a class at the 2nd block, to make it 16 credits. Ben is taking 7 credits, and Grant is taking more time than we have! We have hired my trust-worthy friend to babysit 3 times a week, and the other 2 days, we either have to show up late to class, or leave early. But school is only 12 weeks long, and we have no friends here to bother us anymore. But we welcome the challenge! BRING IT!

Our little man is growing like crazy, but is still not into some of his newborn clothes. But he is growing out of his Premie clothes...sad. Grant is either sick, or just having a fun time keeping us up at night. We thought we had tricked him into thinking that sleeping was a good thing. But alas, he's only 6 weeks old, and we have time to brain wash him! As he is starting to fit into clothes that people have bought for him, I feel like I need to take pictures. So- here is documented proof that your gifts have not been for naught.

This is a cute blanket from Gena (is that spelled right?) and Daniel (again... spelling?)


Sarah bought this cute outfit... it's still a bit big- but we love it! The shoes were from me, and they were too cute to pass up!




I don't know if you can tell, but he has total bed-head in this picture! We laughed!


The awesome snugglie thing is from Todd, and the cute red stripped shirt is from Holly... Yeah!


This romper makes him look like a janitor... as Leanne said, "stop crying and start mopping!"


GRANDPA Mathews came to visit, along with Grandma. They think he's so cute-- and he has them fooled into thinking that he's an angel all the time!


Aw... Grant and Dad


Last but not Least... our cute little son!

Holiday Fun

Our vacation break was great! After our fun Christmas, we just hung out with family, did a lot of shopping, and tried to sleep. Grant continues to try our patience at 3 am, but we are doing our best! Today, we drove back from Utah. It's totally different traveling with a new born. Ben and I were amazed at how much stuff we collected while on vacation. He got Guitar Hero III, while I got a popcorn maker!!! We both love our two new toys! Ben is "practicing" guitar as I type! Here are some more photos that may make you laugh!!! We love exploiting our little Super Champ!

Cute Grant!

MAD Grant... not so cute!

What's up??

Sorry it's turned, I don't know how to fix that... Grant is going to hate us one day for this, but he squeezes his little butt cheeks together when we give him a bath! We laughed for about an hour!

I am obsessed!

Rrrrrr Mateys ;-)

My name's Grant, and I am a stud!
