Holidayz!

We have been busy the last few months! 

Liam and I had fun making Valentines for all of his cousins this year.  He has 15!

We spent our spring break down in St George. 

Nate's mission companion got married in the temple there. We also saw the happy couple while we were hiking in Zions!

Liam LOVED hiking! We were able to do Lower and Upper Emerald Pools as well as the Lookout. Beautiful weather!

Our first family vacation went very well.

We loved spending time with Great-Grandma & Grandpa Williams, my uncle Chris and Lora, and cousin Nicole. Somehow, we never got pictures of everyone... fail. :(

Easter at Grandma & Grandpa Shuppy's was fun!

Liam wasn't a huge fan of the grass. 

But he got quite the loot: which, of course was surrendered to Mom and Dad!

Growing up

Liam is almost 6 months old! Time is flying by and we wanted to show some of his big accomplishments...

We have started feeding him Rice Cereal a few times a week.

He will even wipe his own mouth! :)

This was his first impression... He didn't know what to think.

Liam loves to roll all around. Especially when we are trying to change his diaper.

 He doesn't like the feel of Dad's prickly face.

 My good friend Cami and her family came over to visit a few weeks ago. Liam was SO excited to see another baby! Unfortunately, we didn't capture the moment, but Liam was smiling.

Liam is a fabulous jumper. He loves the time he has in his Jumperoo.

Christmas

We had a very busy Christmas this year! It was so much fun spending time with our families.

 Liam played Baby Jesus in the Woodard Family Nativity. He did such a wonderful job. He didn't cry at all, I think it was because he didn't have to wear clothes.

 Here is Liam with "Grama Great!"

Shuppy Family Christmas Party

 Cousins: Emmie & Evan

 Cousins: Tyger & Tatum

 Cousin Tilly

Papa Jon & Nana Sue 

 Liam's favorite gift was his Giraffe, Soffie. Here is a picture of him giving her a kiss.

We are Family!

(Note to anyone that may talk to Grandma KL: I think these are going to be a surprise so don't mention them or show them to her!!!)

The Prescott cousins got together to get some pictures. My lovely sister-in-law took them... SO talented! 

It is so fun that Liam has so many cousins on both sides of the family. LOTS of little friends. And also many accomplices in future mischievousness.

We also took some family pictures. I didn't want to post very many because we will be using one of them for our Christmas card.

Of course I am a little bias: But I think he is THE cutest baby in the entire world!

His First Big Day!

Here are some pictures of Liam on his blessing day. It was a very good day. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for more. Everything went so well!

Here is Dad and Liam, both looking quite handsome. Nate got to sport his new suit. Liam wore Evan's blessing outfit made by Grandma Sue. She, of course is so talented.

I attempted to make his booties. At midnight the night before, I had one of them completely finished but was too tired to sew the sole on the second one. Grandma Sue came to the rescue the next morning and quickly put together the second shoe. Thanks Momma!

Our sweet little angel has been a huge blessing and reminder of Heaven. I know that he came straight from our Heavenly Father. I am so blessed to be his Momma!

Not so Little Liam

Our little boy is growing! It seems like we can't keep up... between the clothes and the diapers. He is outgrowing EVERYTHING!

I HAD to post some semi-naked pictures. He is just too cute!

 Lately, Liam loves his hands. They are constantly moving, this a rare photo of them when they are holding still. Many people of commented on how masculine they are.

Here he is... Two months old! Getting so big!

Liam and cousin Maddie. They are 6 weeks apart. Can you tell they are related? I can see it.

Liam and Momma. He looks so cute in his baseball outfit from Great-Grandma Shauna and

Great-Aunt Julie.

Fun with Baby

We have captured some pretty funny pictures of our new son among the thousands that we are taking as new parents. Of course we think our baby is the most beautiful boy in the whole world... as most parents do (about their own children). I wanted to share some...

Sleeping babies are always a favorite... So sweet!

Tummy Time

With his Bink.

Almost caught his smile. One of these days I will. :)

Squished hiker face.

Our first outing as a family. We hiked up a trail for Nato's Birthday. Liam slept.

 Two of my favorites. He slept all through Stake Conference. When we pulled him out of his car seat, this is what he did...

We love our little peanut!
