Teething... not so fun

Coleman is getting so big. He now crawls everywhere! Pulls himself up on everything! And is now trying to walk! And to top it all off, he now has 2 teeth. They broke through his gums about 2 weeks ago (right at his seven month mark) but are now through enough to show up on film. He is now seriously dangerous around any food... all Grahm Crackers and Cheerios BeWare!

Our Relatives from Moab

Coleman's cousins from Moab came up for a visit this weekend. And what better way to show them a good time than to take them on a fun-filled trip... to Costco. We like to "go big" when we are entertaining our family members. We loved having Hallie and Tatum stay with us! They make us grateful the wonderful things in life: Family, Love, and buying Wholesale. Y'all come back now... ya hear!

This is Coleman's best "Gene Simmons" impression. Apparently he is a big KISS fan. ROCK 'N ROLL Buddy!

3 Years... and counting!

June 18th marks our 3rd wedding anniversary. We were married in Ferndale, Washington in the summer of 2005. Josh was still in school and I had just become a dental assistant. We lived in our first apartment for only 6 weeks before moving to our next place. We stayed put in our 2 bedroom townhouse apartment for 2 years... we loved it there! In March of 2007 (just 10 days shy of my 22nd birthday) we found out that I was pregnant! It was a very welcomed surprise. I guess it doesn't qualify as a surprise when it takes 10 months to get pregnant. That August we were sealed in the Provo Temple. It's funny the looks you get when you are 6 months pregnant and buying everything you need for the temple... We got some strange looks at the Distibution Center! By that time Josh was done with school and was landscaping full-time. Winters were definitely our slow time and we knew that that winter would be particularly hard since I would be on Maternity leave from work. We decided the best thing for us was to move to a place that was more "economically responsible." We packed again and moved to where we lovingly refer to as "Little Tijuana" for the winter. It was less than 2 miles from our old apartment but a whole new world. Our baby was due November 8th and was fashionably late arriving on November 12,2007 at 11:30 am. We named him Coleman Davis Keil by taking both of our mothers maiden names... we wanted something we knew how to spell :) We hadn't planned on using family names and being so cheesy but we both really loved it. In March of 2008 we bought our first house. It is a 3 bedroom townhouse in North Orem. We love it here and having the best time with our family. So it has been 3 years, 4 moves, and 1 baby! I hope the next 3 years are a little slower!

Happy Dad's Day!

Josh spent his first official Father's Day doing

the thing he loves best... sleeping!

He and "Manny" took a 2 hour nap on the couch.

Happy Father's Day!

Not Satan, Just Teething

We were about to sell Coleman this last week. He was awful! He wasn't sleeping, he was always crying! Just as we were about to give him away... a tooth broke through his gums! His very first one. Pictures to follow.

"I Hope They Call Me on a Mission..."

Josh's little brother received his mission call yesterday. We all went over at 7:30 (at night of course!) to see him open it and hear where he is going. He is officially "Assigned to labor in the Georgia Macon Mission..." We are so happy for him. He goes into the MTC August 27th which just happens to be the week that BYU Football starts... I guess we'll see how obedient Ty really is. Josh was very excited that Tyler's going to the south just like he did.
Coleman spent the evening with Tyler's "Good Friend" Chandi... WE LOVE HER!

Coleman's Check Up

Coleman went for his 6 month well baby visit today... a month late, due to a double ear infection:( Everything checked out great. He now tips the scale at a little over 18 lbs! Coleman is in the 50th percentile for height and weight and the 93rd percentile for his head circumference! At first I was a little concerned, but then I remembered that he has always been like that. When I had my ultra sound at 20 weeks his abdominen was right on schedule, his head was a week ahead, and his legs were 2 weeks behind! But what can you expect when both his mom and dad are under 5'9"?

Our Reason for Baby-Proofing

I went in to get Coleman from his crib after he was finished with his nap... He is getting so big! He had pulled himself up and was patiently waiting for me. We are so screwed! He's getting into everything.

Bitter Beer Face

I think Coleman has been hanging out with his cousin Tatum too much.

Family Night at the Rec Center

We went to the Rec Center for family night. It was Coleman's first time swimming. HE LOVED IT! We bought him an inflatable turtle for $10... best purchase ever! He thought he was pretty hot stuff.

Don't worry... the guy behind Coleman is Grandpa Keil!

He's not just some creepy guy :0)
