Last Sunday — which is in reference to Oct. 12 — I shaved off my grizzly bear-like beard, leaving my face a blank canvas. So, since I had a new found freedom to express my face however I may, I've decided to join the fight!

Sunday night Sophie was playing with my cellular phone with Annie, and she got it opened up and put it up to her ear. Annie kept saying, "Hello, who's on the phone."After a while, of Annie saying hello, Sophie started waving, too. It was a great time. She was being so silly all night long.Sophie was also being a goof with Annie, waving at the door with no one even there. She had just stopped

Friday last was South Sevier high School's homecoming game/senior night against Beaver. The Rams came out on top 15-0, even though it was extremely cold and both teams had a hard time holding onto the ball. For a feeling of the cold, check the above picture — Sophia has a beanie, a hood, and another winter hat on top of that to keep her head from freezing.Dillon Bishoff pulled down the first TD

Erin did this on her and Weston's blog recently and — though it is obviously somewhat geared toward the opposite gender — I thought it would be interesting to see how some of it turned out.

... or at least I like to think she always is.This morning while we were getting out the door for the day, Sophie found my headphones I left on the floor and plugged into the computer. I figured wince she is a bit of a music nut (she insists on watching music videos while she eats — but she is alright watching Back to the Future on Saturday mornings — and usually wants a particular video: Mika -

Today I get to celebrate one of the best things to ever happen in my life. Annie turned 24 today She's officially in her mid-twenties. I love her to bits and am so glad she chose me over a million other people to spend her life with.To celebrate, we made a weekend of it. Saturday night we went to South China in Richfield as a family and had a great dinner. Sophie even came a long and was really

Yesterday we took my younger brother, Gregory, to the Missionary Training Center in Provo to send him off on his two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He's headed to Ventura, California, and has been pretty excited about it since he found out in July.Sending him off was one of those bittersweet moments when you're super happy he's doing something for the right

Greg had his farewell thing, which is no longer called a farewell, Sunday, and everybody was over. We also had fun just being with the whole family at my mom's house, enjoying my mom and dad's new deck they just had put in this month.Sophia's favorite part was playing with Molly, Travis and Kate's dog. Sophia thinks dogs are the best thing in the world, as you can probably tell by the pictures.

I had the privilege of covering the home opener for South Sevier's football team against Gunnison Friday night, Aug. 22. It's a whole different atmosphere being on the field, hearing what's actually happening and trying to capture the action to package it up nicely so everyone can get the gist of what happened who didn't make it.That is one of the actually decent shots I pulled off, taking

Sophia had her nine month appointment Tuesday, Aug. 12, in American Fork. We love her pediatrician up there, so we're going to stick with him — unless he's not covered by our new insurance when we eventually switch over to that.The doc said Sophie looked like the epitome of a healthy baby when he came into the office, as Sophie was busy trying to figure him out and play on the floor at the same

Get over yourself and check out my posts that were started earlier, but not posted until recently. sometimes my computer/blogger loves to play jokes on me and make it difficult to get longer posts polished and ready for public consumption.Newly posted old posts (or you may want to call them newly appearing, but dated posts) include a

Last Saturday, Aug. 2, we were at my Grandma and Grandpa Hunt's house. Grandma Hunt mentioned she had some peaches in the fridge, knowing I love peaches, so Sophia and I went to the fridge and washed up a peach for an afternoon snack.I took a bite of the peach and was breaking off a piece of the inside small enough for Sophia when she leaned over to the peach and took a good-sized bite of it

On the Fourth, in between all of our many activities, we visited Grandma and Grandpa Hunt. I just thought these were some fun pictures of Sophia playing piano/xylophone on my mom's lap. My mom was having as much or maybe even more fun than Sophie was — just look at her face in the two pictures below. These next two were actually at the Rotary Park before the sun set, while we were waiting to

Sophia and Brynlie had tons of fun playing in the froggie pool Grandma Hunt bought for them. Both of them were so cute splashing around in their little swimsuits. And both girls got some good loves from their daddies, too.This is the froggie pool in near-full view. Where Sophie's right hand is, there's actually a thing that spits water up from the hose, making a little fountain, which comes from

Before I begin briefly detailing our Pioneer Day adventures, I snapped this photo of Kyle and Jordon's boy, Isaac the day of the children's parade on the park. It ran the week following the 24th in The Richfield Reaper as the front page feature picture with the title "Leaving a Legacy."Jordon was in town for a few weeks around that time with Isaac and their daughter Attison, and we spent some

Recently Annie bought Sophie a tube of baby tooth and gum cleaner and a little green toothbrush with the softest bristles we could find.Anyone who knows Sophie at all, knows that she does not sit still — unless she is sleeping — so getting her teeth brushed is sometimes a game of improvised juggling and brushing for Annie — and for me, when I get a chance to help out with the tooth

Sophia's first Independence Day started bright and early with the Richfield parade on Main Street and a healthy dose of candy.Sophia loved the floats and the horses. Even though I was concentrating a lot of my efforts on getting some good shots for the Reaper I enjoyed being with Annie, Sophia and our families — Trent, Jessica and Ali; Chris, Sarah and Brynlie; Greg and my folks. It's yet another

We've finally moved into our new house in Austin and have been busy trying to unpack everything -- or at least figure out what we can get rid of. A couple days after we got moved in, it was time to pack a bunch of it back up and go on vacation.Our plane departed Tuesday morning extremely early and Oahu was amazing.

Sophia turned six months old on Tuesday of this week. She is such a special little girl and she is doing so much for a six-month old. This post counts as our celebration of our little Sophia Lou and all that she can do.She is such a helper when she eats these days, she always wants to grab the spoon and do it herself. She loves it when we give her rice cereal for dinner. She has gotten really

Sophie Lou has been doing so many new things all the time the past few weeks. After getting her first tooth on a Sunday, her second tooth began to break through on a Wednesday. Now both her bottom teeth in the front are through and cute as ever.And she's learned how to get around really well with her crawling. Good enough that she is getting into everything and anything that she's not supposed to

As Annie said in the previous post, I did get a job with the Richfield Reaper, and I will be starting soon. I am the new general reporter (making three writers who comprise the editorial staff at the paper). And I did go down that way to check out a house to rent that I had called about on Monday.It's an old brick house on the north end of Austin. It has two bedrooms, and the weirdest toilet/

So, Chad got a job in Richfield after all... I say it's because we had so many people praying for us (well, for Chad to find a job/ not move out of state!)Starting in just a couple of weeks he will be a reporter for the Richfield Reaper! He is such a good writer and I'm so proud of him! Today he is looking at a house that we hope to rent! If all goes well, we'll be down there by June! (But then

I love close up pictures, but I also think I did a pretty good job at picking a cute angle!She is so precious! We love her so much! She looks so innocent too!

Only having the interent at school makes updating the blog sometimes near impossible. That's an excuse. Take it for what it's worth. But now school is done, however, I don't have the internet (or at least this slice of internet) available at work, so I will try to be as frequent as I am given chance. I am stil going to fill in Christmas and Sophie's blessing where they go, but beyond that,

Yesterday I was spending the day at home with Sophia as I didn't have school. I thought it would be fun, as we were just playing and she was in a good mood to take some pictures of her being the cutie that she is.As I was taking the pictures, I wasn't paying too mcuh attention to them. But when I decided to look through them to dump the bad ones and check out the really cute ones, I noticed this:

President's Day weekend was the first chance we've had to go to Monroe for quite a while. In fact, we haven't been down there since Christams break. It was a good time to go visit my family (and Annie's family even though they have all seen Sophie alot - they come up often). And most exciting for us was the chance to see Kyle and Jordon and their two kids, Isaac and their new baby girl

Today I got to spend the whole day at home with my little valentine. Annie and I celebrated the date by getting takeout the night before to beat the rush. I got her the final season of The Gilmore Girls because she has been talking about it ever since I didn't pick it up for her for Christmas. She got me a lot of Doritos and other candy because I always have to have Doritos and because it was

A couple of days ago Sophia began to get morning congestion. She usually gets a lot of boogers, but they don't affect her breathing too much. But her new onslaught of snot has caused her to be really stuffed up and ornery at times.Last night was probably the most difficult night for the three of us as, due to her extreme congestion, Sophia woke up at about 2:30 this morning. Annie tried to

Since I (Chad, not Annie) was too lazy/"busy" to keep up on the blog for quite a while, I'm trying to decide whether I want to back track and date everything around when it happened, or just play a catch up thing like I did in the beginning. Right now I'm leaning toward the idea of manipulating hte post dates so they appear around the time the event actually happened.Long story short, look back

Everyone knows that as you get older new challenges arise... Well, I'm older and shots still hurt! I'm not talking about my shots, I'm talking about Sophia's shots. We just went to her two month appointment the other day and she had to get all of the usual vaccinations. It hurt me so much to watch her happy little smile turn into a sad frown and then to a loud scream. I guess that's why parents

Last Sunday, Superbowl Sunday, Weston and Erin were up at our apartment watching a movie with us and helping us eat the massive amount of cheeseball Annie made the day before. It was a nice evening, and since none of us were really into the Superbowl that much, it was nice to jsut watch a movie.Weston was playing with Sophie, and she was being her usual cute self. She had been doing the thing

(ANNIE writes)Well, she's finally here... not just barely today, but on November 20. I went two days over so the doctor decided to start me!!! I went into the hospital at 9:00 am and I had her at 5:05 pm. She is so beautiful! She was 7 lbs. 12 ounces and 20 inches long. She also had a full head of dark hair (not near as full as Attison's though).She is now almost 2 months old! She has grown so

The other night we had a little bit of a scare with Sophie. She had some blood in her diaper, which became more and more prevalent throughout the night in her diaper changings. Being new parents Annie and I both freaked out and I called the on-call pediatrician from our pediatric clinic. He pretty much told me to watch it until morning and, if it was worse before the clinic opened to take her to

Yesterday my parents made it up to finally see Sophia for the first time. It was an exciting day as now all of Sophie's grandparents have had a chance to look her over and just fuss over how cute she is. Prior to my parents visit we had a few visitors, mostly family, come to see our new little one. Annie's mom was right there the whole time, and Weston and Erin were to the hospital before Annie

I tried on the pink checkered Vans today. Of course they were way too big for such a little girl as Sophia, but I had to try them out just to see. I don't think those pants really fit yet either.One of these days....I have to start back to school this coming week, not really looking forward to having to leave Sophia and Annie all day every day. I hope Annie is able to get around alright with her

Yesterday was a great day, we finally got to bring Sophia home, and though Annie's leg made it a little more challenging than expected, we were ready to start being a family at our own home. Annie's mom, Dennyce, even brought home some Thanksgiving leftovers from Annie's aunt's house were her and Chris ate dinner.The day was going great until the evening when Annie began to have an allergic

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We had an extra special Thanksgiving this year; Annie and Sophia were released from the hospital today. Sophia is doing really well, everything is going great, she's eating and all of the tests they run have come out good - as far as we know.Annie, on the other hand, isn't having as smooth a transition post delivery. Ever since the delivery her left leg has been

Two days late and two days before Thanksgiving, Sophia finally decided to grace the world with her presence. Our dear girl was born at 17:05 and weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. She is 20 inches long, healthy and otherwise completely perfect.Annie and I are so excited to be parents. We entered the hospital for Annie's induction at around 9 that morning. They hooked her up to everything in the delivery

It's come down to the wire, and passed it. Annie's due date was officially yesterday, Nov. 18, and still no Sophia. But since we went to see Dr. Jones, Annie's OB, on Friday, and Thanksgiving is on Thursday, he scheduled an induction for tomorrow, Nov. 20. And that's going to be Sophia's birth date, since she's been feeling so nice and comfortable in the womb tht she doesn't want to come out.It's

Nothing ever quite goes as planned. That's just a given, and it has been a constant since we began this journey called marriage. This has become even more prevalent with pregnancy. And it was again reiterated to me this afternoon when I learned of the passing of my grandfather, my mother's father.Grandpa Johns was the last surviving of my grandparents. He had long outlived his wife and my dad's

Backing up a little bit, to about week 24 of the pregnancy, there was a lot of things going on outside of putting together a nursery. It was summer and though Annie was enjoying summer vacation, I was working at the financial aid office at UVSC and interning with the Provo Daily Herald newspaper for school. Needless to say I was not spending a lot of time at home during the day.Then, as we were

Long before we learned we were going to be having a girl, we had already come up with a list of names. The names we had selected for a boy were more specific than our girl names, but we had a couple of favorite girl names. Somewhere between the time we found out we were pregnant and the time we learned the gender of our little sweetheart, the two names that stood out the most, Ryen and Sophia,

It was right around the day of our second anniversary when we finally got the positive test result telling us we were going to have a baby. Annie and I had been trying for over a year to conceive.The news was more than welcome, and news from other family members (my sister Sarah and Weston's wife, Erin) and friends (Jordon and Kyle) that they were with little ones came right before and after the
