My Happy Boy

He is starting to get fatter, and a few rolls have developed, I have to admit it's way cute! He is So happy, he is smiling a lot now and it's so fun! He has been sleeping better at night so that makes momma happy too!

slc trip

So last weekend when we went up to salt lake we got to see little cousin Lilly. She is 5 weeks older then William. We have seen her a handfull of times since Will's been born and every time she was bigger then him. This time when we saw her William and her were very close to the same size but he has past her up in weight. He will always be bigger then her, from now on out.

Lillian Elizabeth Stott, and William Randall Stott. We often have tonge twisters when we say "lil" and "Will". We didn't realise how close their names were going to be!

They are too cute together! Stott Babies!

Holding hands!
They even got to take a bath together! And Lilly was nice enough to share her room with us and let William sleep in her crib! Thanks guys it was a lot of fun!

This is Aunt Sydne, Grandmas Stott, Brandon's Mom Jolene Cousin Jessica with her newest little girl Layla, Me and will, and my sister in law Ellie with baby Lillian.

First Plane Ride

We went up to Salt Lake last weekend for a family wedding and mission farewell, Brandon's parents were in Utah for it so we thought it would be a good time to have a lot of Brandon's family see our new addition and to use our flight benefits while I still had them, and have William take his first flight!Brandon doesn't like flying, actually he hates the whole "travel" part. The going through security, and the crowded airports and the crowded seats, taking a baby put a whole new twist on it! :) This was us right after we went through security in our cute little airport here in St. George.

Taking a nap with daddy! Traveling is exhausting!

As always William was absolutely perfect. He looked around and enjoyed his scenery and then fell asleep on the flight. I'd like to think it will always be this easy but I know that is just wishful thinking! :) babies become toddlers!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Brandon had a birthday a couple days ago we decided to do dinner and invite our friends over. We have some good friends and they make for some good company! We always have a lot of fun together! Happy Birthday babe! I love you!The Birthday BOY! LOVE YOU BABE!

For Brandon's birthday I decided to do something the Stotts do all the time to make him feel at home, and that is a fondue party.

Friends

So some friends of ours had a baby just 6 weeks after us and now they are friends because their parents are friends. I am sure they will be hanging out and growing up together. We are excited for the day when they are old enough to sit and play together, for now laying next to each other will have to do.

These pictures were taken New Years Eve. We got to their house and realised without even trying we had dressed them to match.

it's so funny how much 6 weeks is when they are so young. In a few months they will be the same size or Braden may even pass Will up. For now William looks SO much bigger then Braden !
This picture cracks us up so much! Braden had some gas this night so he wasn't the happiest little guy. They were sitting in Williams "crib" hanging out.

William is thinking "what's his problem?"

photo shoot!

Well this is a picture over load!!

Brandon meet up with some friends the other night and played some basketball at a church near by, a friend (a wife of one of the guys) and I went a long. when we got there we were like lets take some pictures of William, before we knew it, it was a full blown out photo shoot! I don't think we could have done better if we had actually planned it! We had a camera and a football for a prop and an adorable baby! what more could I have needed? needless to say I think they turned out rather well for the impromptu photo shoot!! There is a ton, I couldn't narrow it down very well!

View discretion is advised, there is some nakedness...

Thanks again sarah! Your the best! It was a lot of fun! We will have to do it again sometime!

family pictures!!

So we took some family photos on Christmas eve, It's never a perfect time to take pictures, having a large family someone is always pregnant just had a baby, or something and not everyone is their ideal weight, for me I will just remember this time as just having a baby and hope that is the only reason I look this large! :)Our first official family photoThey weren't professionally done Obviously, this is just in my parents front room, (before we started taking pictures)
We can never be too serious!

The family! We keep getting bigger and bigger!

we had taken enough serious ones and everyone was ready to either "cheese it" or strike a pose! this is what we came up with! I personally like this one better!

Me and my siblings!

after we are done with family pictures, the five of us are never quite done. I don't know how we all turned out to love the camera so much, it doesn't always love us back! But we always take a million pictures after the "family pictures are done" these are a few.

It's not fair when one person is "tanning" and the others aren't it turns out making us all look pasty white, when really Mallory is just so much tanner then the average person in December! (her boy friend is coming home this week from his mission what do you expect!)

Got ta love it! I love my family they are so much fun! Christmas was with my family this year and we were pretty much together for two days straight hanging out and eating like crazy! It was a lot of fun!
