Hike

Just getting to the mountains, we haven't yet seen the trail.

Our "hiking" shoes. Brynlees uggs were sadly the best.

We decided to go up to the mountains today to see the leaves change. It would have been a great plan but you see we didn't really plan. We stopped at a trail and decided to "hike" up this trail. We were not dressed for it nor were we prepared. I had diet coke instead of water, we were wearing our good shoes as you can see and we are all a little out of shape. Kashton had a lot of fun because being outdoors is his greatest pleasure. Everyone that passed us laughed, we decided to turn around when the people that were coming back down the mountain were using hiking sticks to make it. It was quite a funny time if not a very productive one.

Kashton started at KinderCare last week and I was rather nervous. He has rarely been watched by anyone but me or Mike so I didn't think he would much like it. But there are so many toys and so much that he thinks is fun that he just has the time of his life. When I first leave it is hard but after that he is the king of the daycare. He sits in the middle of the room in an excersaucer and makes everyone come to him. Sounds like his daddy.

Football

I decided that it would be a good idea to take Kashton to the Alta football game. WRONG! He thought he would play with all the other people that were there to watch the game. He doesn't get sad but he sure gets antsy. He was all over the place and who can set a 9 month old on bleachers.

STENGTH

I am going to find my strength. This last month has been very hard for me between leaving my husband and moving to a new state, putting Kashton in daycare has been one of the hardest things for me to do ever because I become riddled with guilt. I have decided that I can't focus on the negative. I will never make it. I am going to take this time to become the strongest best mother that I can be. The strongest best person that I can be. I will gather my friends and family around me and learn to love myself as much as I expect someone to love me. I will take my son by the hand and lead him through life with my head held high and my heart full of love and show him that he can be a strong, smart, successful person just by being hmself. I hope that my life works out the way that I have planned but if not then I will push through and realize that I and the lord are all that I need to make it through.

Growing up

Kashton is growing up so fast. He took a few steps on his own the other day and I was so proud of him, but at the same time I just wish he would stop growing. I love my little baby and I want him to stay that way forever.









Kashton crawled right out of his pants. It was hilarious. Look at what a big boy he is becoming.
He has learned to crawl up the stairs all on his own. He can even come back down sometimes.
He just started to eat in a big boy highchair. We used to just feed him on the floor.
