I am a horrible blogger...



I really do like blogging, I promise. I would like to make excuses and say that we have been really busy, but I don’t think that is quite true. We have definitely been staying busy with all sorts of fun stuff.


Parker will be 13 weeks tomorrow and on Sunday he hits the 3 month mark. I know I say this a lot but, it has gone by so fast...maybe too fast! He is just growing and developing so fast. I have recently weighed him and came up with about 14.5 pounds and he is about 24ish inches long (it is really difficult to measure an infant). His personality is coming out more and more everyday! He loves to giggle and voice his opinions. Matt can get the most giggles and coos from him. Parker his working on rolling from his back to his stomach, I think he is coming pretty close but he hasn't done it yet! I really didn't think it was possible, but he is even more curious about the world around him. He is always looking around. I would love to know what he is thinking. Recently, we started putting him on his play mat and he seems very intrigued. He even grabs & bats at some of the toys.


Last weekend, we traveled to Sheridan to see the family. It was so nice to visit them. Matt even took Friday and Monday off of work so that we could relax and not feel rushed. We spent some time with my parents with Matt’s parents. On Saturday, my dad and Matt went golfing and my mom and I went shopping downtown and then my parents had Matt’s parents over for a little BBQ. I love when we can all get together! On Sunday, we went to church with Matt’s family and Matt worked on fixing his parent’s computer.



On our way back to Monument on Monday we stopped in Laramie. We were able to eat a late lunch with Stacy Ann and Ryan. It was so nice to catch up with them, since we hadn't seen them since 2 weeks before we moved. I miss them so much, we used to do a dinner almost every week! We, also, hung out with Nikki and Cameron for a while and that was really fun. Him and Parker were so interested in each other I can’t wait until they are a bit older!


Matt is designing a website for Julie’s quilt store, The Quilter’s Fix. So that is pretty exciting and of course Matt loves every second of it. He loves to learn new things and actually bought a book so that he can make the site a shopping cart! He is also working on getting the store onto the web with Facebook and Twitter.



This might actually be the last blogspot entry because we have bought our own domain and we are trying to get the site up. The new website is www.hustonfam.com. It will be awesome once it is up. There is a welcome page, about us page, blog page and a photo album page. With the photo portion you can view it as a slideshow or an individual. Hopefully, you can save the pictures to your computer and even print them. I will let you know when the site is up!

Weeks 9 & 10


Newest Family Photo

Holy September!!! I can’t believe Fall is just around the corner! This Summer has flown by!


I am a bad blogger! Sorry I missed last week and I am sorry in advance on how long this post will probably be and how many photos there are. But what can I say I love taking pictures and showing them off!


Giggles for Mommy

Parker is 10 weeks old now. In the past two weeks he has come to really love playing. He has three things that he really likes to play with. One of them is a red hula monkey and we call her Mallory. He loves to play with her and give her “kisses.” Then there is a little frog that we put in his car seat whenever we go anywhere. It has these crinkly things on it and a mirror and he loves to make the frog crinkle! Then he has a stuffed monkey that is just the right size and he loves to cuddle with it. I didn’t think it was possible but he is becoming even more vocal and smiling so much more! Actually, last night he was sleeping in my arms and started “talking” it was so cute to hear him babble in his sleep. He just melts our hearts!

Parker & Mallory the Monkey

Matt and I have recently started a new exercise program. It is called P90X. It is extre

mely intense! But it feels great! With the pregnancy, I wasn’t the only one to gain the weight. So it is nice to be working towards OUR pre pregnancy weights and bodies! Pre pregnancy body here I come!

Grandpa & Parker

This past weekend, my parents came down to visit for the long weekend. It was so nice to have them down for more than a day and a half. On Saturday, the boys played video games and my mom and I went shopping. But we only made it to Babies ‘R Us. But that is okay with me, that is the kind of shopping I like to do these days anyway. We actually got Parker the cutest Halloween costume. It is a full on monkey suit. It is adorable and I cannot wait for October now! When we out to eat on Saturday night I had two margaritas with my mom and I was feeling it for sure! It was a lot of fun. On Sunday we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It was so much fun! My parents loved it. Even though Parker will not remember the trip I’m sure he loved it! Haha! He actually did stare at one of the gorillas for about 5 minutes and the gorilla did the same thing. It was pretty neat!


No plans yet for this coming weekend, but I think the following weekend we are headed to Sheridan. Matt has been dying to go on a road trip since we go the Pilot so I think it is time.


Coming soon: Zoo pictures!!! :)
