Fat Lip

Grant took a spill on his bike the other day and now look at his lip! Poor little guy.
He loves bikes, scooters, cars, basically anything with wheels.

Fall Family Pictures 2008

My friend Holly just got a new camera and took our family pictures at Sundance the other day, so I thought I would share a few with you. Thanks Holly!! The coloring is off on some of the pictures because I was messing with them on PhotoShop, but don't worry, Mindy is going to work her magic and make them "pretty" again. :)

My two favorite people in the world! Don't they look so cute! Grant loves sitting on Seth's shoulders. It's hallirious to watch Grant pat and pull Seth's hair while he's up there. :)
Grant is getting so big! I can't believe he is already 11 months old.

Hello from the Hejnys!
Grant looks just like Seth did when Seth was a baby.
Grant loves to stand and walk all over now. We had a hard time keeping him still for the photos.

Major Update Coming

Just to let you all know...the blog will be "fully" updated this Sunday! Yep, this Sunday. Everyone keeps bugging me and I keep trying to get around to it, so I'm giving myself a deadline (plus Seth's mom is coming into town this Sunday, so there will be someone to play with Grant all day, because it's going to take all day to catch up!)

Random Passport Photos :)

Yep, he's my baby, can't ya tell?

Grant's Baby Blessing

January was a very busy month, I think we were in Grand Junction about every other weekend. The weekend of January 12th was different though, we were on our way to Grand Junction to bless Grant, watch Tyler be baptized and confirmed, and attend Alyssa's blessing. Tyler was baptized and Grant and Alyssa were blessed all on the same day. We started the day off with Tyler's baptism and confirmation at the stake center. (We are so proud of Tyler and the little man he is becoming!) After that we went to my parents house for lunch and the two baby blessings. Alyssa was blessed first by her father, Lanny. Lanny did a great job and Alyssa was a little angle, she didn't make a peep during the whole thing. Then it was Seth and Grant's turn. They both did great, especially since Grant was so tired. I don't think I have ever been more proud of my husband. Just seeing him holding our son made me cry (I was also running on about 3-4 hrs of sleep, Grant is not a sleeper). Seth had this look of pride, confidence and awe like, "yes, this is son, isn't he awesome! I don't know what I am doing, but I'm going to give him everything I have." I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it was amazing and the blessing was beautiful. January 12th was definitely a day worth remembering and worth every bit of effort put into it (I was crazy sick the whole time , you can tell in the pictures by my lack of makeup and red nose. I was so sick that when we got back to Utah I had to have surgery on my ear from a wicked bad ear infection that would not go away, fun).

Aunt Linda was the scribe for the evening. We are very grateful for her quick writing abilities.
Seth, Grant and I with Grandpa and Grandma Hejny. Thanks for supporting us and coming to the blessing, Grandpa and Grandma!
Jan and me holding our little ones. You can tell these two are cousins, don't ya think?
Grant and Alyssa together, almost holding hands. I have to laugh because when Grant was blessed he was in the 90% for height and 75% for weight, but Alyssa still dwarfs him in the pictures, she was off the charts. LOL :)

Mindy and me at the end of Tyler's baptism. It was a great program and everyone who participated did a great job!
Abby, Kylie and Ben at Nana's house waiting for everything to get started.
Dressing Grant for his blessing. It was actually unfortunate and cute all at the same time, but his blessing outfit was too small for him and I couldn't button the back buttons so it made his collar flare/pop up. What a happy family! Thank you to everyone who was able to share the special day with us.
The popped collar, its very popular these days! Grant's so fashion forward!

Happy New Years!

I can't believe its 2008 already! We had a low key New Years, but it was fun. We went to a friend's party where we played games and ate way too much food. The party started early and I think we ended up leaving early too. We went home around 10:00 because we were so tired and Grant couldn't sleep at their house with all the noise. It was a great way to bring in the New Year though!
