These will be hanging in kinda a collage in his room when I re-do it to a big boy room.

He's a pretty good boy, keeps me on my toes! Just hope he grows out of a few phases before too long!

Thank-you Annalee! You are amazing!

Almost alway wants to have his boots and hat on

When mom says "Easton you're gonna fall and get stuck," she means it.

Watchin the horses race!

Eating peanuts at the ball game with grandpa

East and Dad=best buds

This kid LOVES dogs, and that is an understatement.

No explanation: these are just the kinds of things he does every day

Holy Pictures!

2010-08-12T19:59:00.000-07:00

Oh dear...This will be the most random post of random pictures in no particular order. Mostly summer swimming fun with the neighbors and some of the Kempton reunion we had. It was a blast!!!

He's kinda obsessed with his shades.

Our buddy noah we love so much!

Deer in headlights?

Mud madness! This kid is all boy.

East is 19 months and growin like a weed. He loves nursery and is talking a ton. He is already wanting to be sooooo independent...it could be scary. Hes a pretty sweet boy though.

Grandpa and Mimie

2010-06-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

Easton has the best grandparents ever on both sides. He's lucky to have Grandpa and Mimie Hammer so close by and sees them about every week.

I think he's pretty dang spoiled but he LOVES, LOVES his Grandpa and Mimie

Lions and Tigers and Bears... oh my!

Hangin out with Mimie

Helping Grandpa clean off the graves for Memorial Day.

Big Brown eyed boy...notice one of the many battle scars!

He's getting so stinkin big!!! Still so happy and smiley all the time though!

Obsessed with smelling everything lately...especially flowers or "Bufas" as he calls them.

These ones must have been stinky...

And these smell good...he's also obsessed with Elmo as you can see with his shirt.

Belly Laugh!

2010-05-13T07:19:00.000-07:00

East has been doing the goofiest laugh lately...especially when he's with his Dad!

p.s. he is really into pointing out all the lights in the room too!

Listening to his favorite song.....and laughing!

2010-04-26T11:58:00.000-07:00

This video cracks me up. Taylor was singing along in his beautiful baritone voice to his John Wayne cowboy song....Easton is just staring at him trying to figure it all out! So funny....hey taylor do you know all those words or what!

Farm- Town

2010-04-26T10:13:00.000-07:00

So after the fam came up for Mer's graduation we got to follow my parents back down to Farmington to get some good Grammy and Grandad time in! It was so good to get to see and spend time with Granny Cardon also!

Easton was in HEAVEN with his cousins Cole and Noah. All he wanted to do was follow them around and play in the dirt! We loved the warm weather!

Playin in Grammy's bird bath! BUSTED!!!

Kickin back in the lawn chair...oh the life.

Noah is the NICEST older cousin ever. Easton followed him everywhere and loved every minute of it! He's still talking about Cole and Noah...

We were a bit tuckered out on the way home...what a drive. I think he gets the double chins from him mom...bummer.

Haven't posted in awhile so I'll catch up on a few things...

This is the cute St. Patricks day shirt Grammy got him!

We were so lucky to get to go down to Salt Lake this month to Kelly's baby shower! We had a blast! It was the first time I've been away from Easton overnite so I was a little nervous but James is such a good daddy and they did great!

The happy couple...Cardon was like the life of the partay!

Ya...see that skinny girl in the middle....she's the one who's 8 months pregnant!!!! As beautiful as ever!

Sistas!

CHEEEEEEESE!!!!!

Belle and Easton

2010-03-03T08:27:00.000-08:00

These two are the best playmates. We love having Belle over. They are pretty dang funny together.

I love this look of Belle's like what the hec lady..

We bundled up for a few minutes to go outside while we actually had some sun. Poor Belle had to deck out in all of Easton's boy stuff. She still looks so cute!

I love the hand on the shoulder!

"We look funny in these hats huh!"

They seriously play so good together and don't really fight over toys yet. They entertain each other and just look at me and wonder why I'm bothering them!

Grammy and Grandad!

2010-03-03T08:09:00.000-08:00

My parents and Uncle Taylor got to come visit around Valentines Day and it was so fun to see them. Easton LOVES having family around. WE had a blast as usual. When everyone left Easton just looked at me like,... just us again huh!

He hardly ever gets any attention...

Posing with Grammy and Grandad

13 Months and Counting!

2010-02-17T08:20:00.000-08:00

These are some of Easton's "one year" pictures. My ever so talented neighbor took them for us again. James and his dad love Boise State so some of these were taken for him and the grandparents for Valentines Day.

His famous touchdown pose!

A mouthful of teeth and still growing into those ears!!

(Although he is starting to grow into his eyes.....)

One of my favorites. My cousin Paul took this one. I call it the floating head! Kinda lookin like a deer in headlights! This is how he looks at strangers...without blinking. I am finally getting him to smile and wave instead of just staring!

we love argyle!

shutterfreek!

2010-02-16T12:34:00.001-08:00

Shovelin'

2010-02-08T12:19:00.000-08:00

We've had some snow the last couple of weeks and Easton decided he really wanted to help James shovel the walk....

He's not the most steady in his big boots on the slick walk but he still had fun!

PARTAY!!

2010-01-20T09:34:00.000-08:00

I'm finally posting pics of Easton's little B-day get together with Berklie. They were born the exact same day and were just a few doors down in the hospital. I can't believe that was a year ago! Here's a few pics of our little shin-dig.

Out for Big Judd's Burgers! The only one I got with Jaylyn's other two girls...and Raegan is still on the move!

Gettin ready for cake...I think the balloons were the best part for these two!

Not quite sure what to think of the fire on the candles....or about blowing it out.

Hey, where'd that fire go!

Ok...maybe this was the best part for Easton! A little messy but its tradition in my family to let the babe have their own peice of cake and go at it!

Hair Cut......Again!!!

2010-01-12T08:54:00.000-08:00

This child has had so much hair from the day he was born and it grows fast and THICK....so I caught a few pics of his latest hairdo from dad. This is seriousl like his 6th haircut...at least.

BEFORE:

My little mad scientist!

AFTER:
My little stud-muffin!

(he's pretty cute huh, cheesy smile and all)

Snow Time!

2010-01-11T08:51:00.000-08:00

2010-01-06T09:13:00.001-08:00

SO.....We had the awesome opportunity to go to Cabo Mexico right after Christmas. Tiffanie's(james sister) in-laws were so nice to invite us to come down for a week and stay with them. It was beautiful and so much fun! Talk about shock when we came back to Idaho!

Our Place was literally, RIGHT on the beach.

Easton did not want to play in the ocean but he loved staring at it. He did like playing in the sand though and only tried to eat it once!

Can you get any hotter than these two folks!!!!

East LOVED the pool.

Hammer Fam...

Adios Amigos!!!

I got them sick which Im sure they were really happy about but we sure had fun. COME BACK SOON!!! Can't wait for Christmas!!!These two were pretty much together the whole time. Noah is soooooo sweet to his little cousin and Easton thought he was the coolest. He helped me so much and Easton actually held still while I changed him! I loved it.

We recently learned to clap our hands...He likes to say "Yeaaaaaa" while he claps

Caveman talk

2009-08-26T10:40:00.000-07:00

Easton started having caveman talk with us where he just makes sounds and he thinks its so funny. If he's playing and Im not looking at him he grunts at me and smiles...such a goof.

WARNING: These videos are loud...

This Boy LOVES his daddy! His face lights up every time he comes into the rooom!

Farm-Town!

2009-08-26T09:30:00.000-07:00

We had to make another quick trip to good ol Farmington. It's been great to see the family and especially Granny, Easton thinks she's so great and funny. He loves his grammy and grandad!

The Churchills(Katie's parents) were so nice to let us go swimming and we had a blast!

Splash splash!

Noah is the sweetest big cousin ever!

The three Kempton grandsons! (yes, Easton is almost as big as Cole...and yes they are about a year apart)

Farmington!

2009-07-26T14:52:00.000-07:00

This post is long overdue. THe end of June we headed down to Farmington to celebrate my Granny's 90th birthday! She is the most amazing woman I know and my greatest example.

She is wonderful with babies and Easton loves her ofcourse. SHe makes him so calm and happy!

Happy Birthday Granny!

We love you!

It was so fun to be with the cousins. Cole was so sweet and kept crouching down and saying"hi" to Easton. Noah is the best older cousin and so nice! We love those boys!

Still tryin to get that "money shot" of all 3 grandsons!

Wedding

2009-07-26T14:36:00.000-07:00

Sunshine Finally!

2009-05-31T09:38:00.000-07:00

We finally got a great week of sunshine! We have the best little culdesac and we love our neighbors. We bust out the little kiddie pool and swim on a regular basis.

Easton LOVES other kids, especially our little neighbor girl, Avery(cant you tell by the way he stares and grins at her). She is so funny and doesn't even care when he splashes her in the pool.

Chillin with mommy

Blue eyed Boy

2009-05-31T08:44:00.000-07:00

Who would have ever thought I'd have a baby with blue eyes! I love them though they look green alot too.

Beautiful Belle

2009-05-25T15:44:00.000-07:00

Easton and Belle have fun playing together. They actually look quite related.....probably cuz they are!!!!!

We went to watch Uncle Jeremy's flag football game and it got a bit windy so we had to bust out the beenie!

And the sunglasses from Aunt Mer ofcourse

Teething Time!

2009-05-24T20:14:00.000-07:00

Such a sad Face!

Mr. Sun Hat

2009-05-24T19:55:00.000-07:00

It's finally been sunny! Rachael gave us these cute sun hats and we love them! Pretty much everything cute that Easton has is from Rachael!
Holy Double Chin

2009-05-24T12:46:00.000-07:00

A Few weeks ago we went down to Utah for the weekend to my cousin Brittany's wedding. My mom met us there and hooked us up with a hotel and we had so much fun seeing her! It was a blast to see all of my aunts and uncles who I haven't seen in forever! It was like a pre- reunion......here we come Farm-town!

Easton loves his Grammy!

2009-05-24T12:37:00.000-07:00

So these are some photos from our family picture shoot a couple months ago. He's a lot bigger now! A wonderful photographer, Karen Anderson took them and did an amazing job capturing our little chunk! Here's a few pics from our shoot.

Here's the link to Karen's site. http://www.karenandersonphotography.com/

EYEBALLS!!!!

2009-05-17T14:08:00.000-07:00

2009-04-26T12:25:00.000-07:00

Easton LOVES bath time. He kicks like crazy. He'd stay in there all night if I let him.

2009-04-26T12:01:00.000-07:00

Farmer Easton!

Dad was out working in the yard so Easton put on his Carhartt overalls and his flannel so he could join him...talk about Idaho farm boy.

He looks like a little homeless man with his beenie on!

Anyone think this kid needs a haircut or what!

2009-04-22T20:09:00.000-07:00

4 months old today and still grinning away!

We'll have to see what he weighs at his appt. next week!

His eyes are still HUGE dont worry. We love this kid!

Easton loves his Daddy! I've never seen a boy and his dad so in love!

Granddad Kempton came to visit this last weekend. It was way too short of a trip. He was bringing Emma back to school but it was wonderful to see him!
Easton loves him of course!

So Easton loves to read books! We read all the time. He loves this one that his Grammy Kempton got him and he's also obsessed with the Easter card she sent him that talks and plays music (even though it went off at 3 in the morning and gave me a heart attack while I was feeding him)

HAPPY EASTER!

2009-04-11T15:54:00.000-07:00

Mimie Hammer sent Easton the cutest easter bunny basket and he loved it!

It was so funny cuz he played with it forever!
THANKS MIMIE

Grandpa and Mimie Hammer!

2009-04-11T15:37:00.000-07:00

Easton loves his Grandpa Hammer...we better watch out cuz I think he'll be on a 4-wheeler soon!

It's hard to tell who loves who more with these two!

We're so lucky to have them so close by!

JUST RELAXIN'

2009-04-04T17:04:00.000-07:00

So here are a few of the faces of Easton. He is so fun now days. He is laughing out loud and is a really happy baby.

Say Cheese! He was on a roll this day! Gotta love the toothless grin...not to mention those cute ears!

Really happy and really chunky!

We love to play on the floor

A little siesta

Could those eyes get any bigger!

Seriously! That's the first thing everyone says when they see him. I think he looks more like the Cardon/Kempton side of the family in this one.

CHUB

2009-04-01T09:25:00.000-07:00

My boy is such a chub! This is a picture of him next to Berklie, our really good friends baby girl who was born the exact same day as Easton! She can hold her own!

Finally!

2009-03-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

As you can see, the little guy has grown tons! At his 2 month appointment he weighed 14lbs and was 25 inches long! Who knows where he'll be at his 4 month!

So I finally got a blog going! I didn't think that I ever would but here it goes. It needs alot of work but at least my family can see pictures of my sweet baby boy now. So...here's the little guy!

Easton's b-day, December 31, 2008. He was 8lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long! He was the last baby of 2008 so he was born a movie star cuz he was on the news and in the paper!
