Labor Day in Parowan

The infamous Iron County Parade. We had fun, and Uncle T got a lot of free stuff and candy from the floats with Jackson in his arms. classic! We also saw Aunt Jo and Sharon there and they sat with us, our yearly tradition.


Aaron and Nikki ran in the Iron County Fair 5K. Aaron finished 3rd place in his division whoo-hoo for You. We are so proud of you guys. SHIZ-AM!!!! look at that skanky booty running down the street. hee, hee love ya. Next year that is going to be me, but first I gots to get my training on!!
We went for a walk and found some horses, Jackson loved them.

Jackson loves his Aunt Emmie and Uncle T, and their cell phones. Sorry uncle T that he lost it for a couple of hours. hee hee.

My little booger looking all cute in his baseball tee playing with his new toy, which he loves. it blows the balls out the top, it is so cute. he also sticks things down the shoot, we found the phone in there last night. Joey and I laughed so hard.
Ms. Cleo (as Aunt Billie calls her) all bundled up looking fabulous.
We had a good time in Parowan this year for Labor Day. Everyone came up Nikki, Aaron, Chloe, Tim, Emily, Karen, Lee, Joey, Me, Jackson and all the dogs. We had a house full, but that is the way we like it. We went shopping in Cedar, relaxed in the backyard, played a little bit of badminton, and we all went to the parade. We normally go to the horse races, and the rodeo but Saturday it rained like cats and dogs outside so we said indoors and played silly games that made us laugh so hard that we almost peed our pants. The video that I posted is hilarious, it is all of us being stupid, notice in the video Nikki cheating so bad, she should have fallen like 10 times but she just keeps going--you big goof. hee, hee this is what the Motts do for fun in Parowan. (before you watch the video you might want to pause the music playlist so you can hear what we are saying in the video--cause we are dorks.)

First day of school

Well, this last week was Joey's first week of Law school, he had several days of orientation and classes and hours and hours of studying-- already. I am beginning to really understand what everyone has been saying to me, "get ready to be a single mom for the next three years!" It is okay though because it will be worth it in the end. Joey supported me through Dental Hygiene school and all of the ups and downs that come with that so, I will be here to support him. I am so proud of my little hubby, he has worked so hard to get to this point. I am so excited for law school to be over already, no just kidding. Good luck sweetie your going to do GREAT!

I had already left for work on Monday morning so thank goodness Karen was thinking what I was thinking and she took a picture of Joey on his first day of school, doesn't he look so cute and stud-ly! hee hee. My two cute boys.

Here is a picture of Jackson that I took before church today he was being so cute walking around in his little squeaky shoes. I will have to post a video of Jack in his squeakers it is hilarious, when he takes a step they squeak. I love them. I will always know where he is at all times. hee hee!

My 25th Birthday & FHE

Wow, I can't believe I am 25 years old, I am officially in my mid twenties, yikes. This year for my birthday we went to dinner with my family to Macayo's and then back to our crib for ice cream cake, presents, and little bit of rock band. My mom and dad got me this way cute hype purse, it is so sassy I love it, and I got new clothes and jammies, thanks to all. Then on my actual birthday, I had to work-yuck, I know. After work my in laws, Joey, Jackson and I went to Macaroni grill for dinner and then my cute boys took me to the mall to shop for some clothes. I didn't find much so we are going again this weekend-whoo-hoo! I also enjoyed my favorite kind of cake on my birthday and that is nothing bundt cake. yummo!!!






For FHE this month with my family we went to Mt. Charleston for dinner. It was way fun we hung out ate tin foil dinners, roasted some weinnies and made smores. The boys went on a hike, and we all enjoyed the cooler weather, we had a blast.

Joeys 25th B-day & 4th of July

Joeys birthday is July 2nd, so we had a good ol' time celebrating that along with the 4th of July. This year we went up to the house in Parowan Utah with Joeys parents, we had so much fun, here are some of our pictures.



The next morning we took Jackson fishing for the first time. He had a good time but mostly he just wanted to put his cheetos in the dirt and eat them. He is so silly.



That night went to the fair grounds in Parowan and watched the fireworks show that they put on. It was a really good show that lasted 45 minutes, I was impressed and Jackson loved the fireworks. He was so tired and barely could keep his eyes open but he didn't want to miss a thing. so cute!

On the 4th of July we went to Cedar in the morning while the boys went golfing, got to see the end of the parade and found a new quilt shop that is way cute. Then we came back to Parowan and just relaxed in the backyard. Jackson had a blast crawling around in the grass, playing with a wooden spoon, helping grammy hang out the clothes, and practicing his walking by pushing the laundry basket around. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to just relax in the backyard in the hammock reading my book.

A week before the 4th Jackson was in a parade with his cousins, all the kids looked so cute in their 4th of July attire.
For Joey's birthday with my family we had a BBQ and went swimming at my mom and dads the weekend before. On his actually birthday I surprised him with my parents and Kimmie and Dax showing up to our house after we got home from work to stay and watch Jackson while we went to dinner just the two of us. We went to Brio in Town Square and went to a couple of shops afterwards, it was fun just the two of us.

Catching up

Here are some fun pictures of Jackson, this is my funny little boy, he just cracks me up! everyday is a new adventure with him. He has such a fun personality. I love him so much, I thank Heavenly Father everyday for sending me such a wonderful, fun little baby boy.




We have been swimming lots and lots to stay cool cause it has been so hot! Jackson loves the pool he just splashes and giggles, he is so funny. We have been swimming at Grammies and papas and at home with cousins, friends and mommy and me group, so fun.
nice chompers! this binky was a must have at the babytime expo!


Happy Fathers Day---it was Joeys first Fathers day-yeah! Jackson got him a new tie, and a golf package to Badlands, Jackson is a good shopper and dadda lovedit all, he also got him a card and we recorded Jackson saying Dadda on it, it was so cute. Joey is an amazing father, I love to watch him play with Jackson, it just warms my heart, I love him so much and I am so grateful to have him in my life and Jackson too.
Jackson loves his Papas too, each one is so special to him. They have already taught him so much and hold a special place in his heart. We are so lucky to have papa great, he is an amazing man with such a sweet spirit. (Jackson just woke up for this picture and this is his sad face-doesn't it break your heart).

Love it!!

Check out this cute little hin--nee! I love cute baby bums. I know I am way behind on posting but I only have time to post one picture today, but I will get with it, promise! See ya later skaters.

update on Jackson

Jackson turned 7 months the other day, I can't believe it, time has flown by. We call him Chuck Liddell cause his hair is growing in really thick only on the center part of his head like Chuck Liddells mohawk, it is too funny. About a month ago he said momma and just the other day he said Dadda--Yep he said momma first--Joey was jealous. hee, hee! He has been doing the army crawl and a funny worm crawl for a while but now just on Monday he finally figured out how to move his legs and arms at the same time and do a legitimate crawl, and he is sitting up on his own too. It is so much fun watching him do all these things. We are in trouble though cause he is in to everything--baby proofing has begun. Jackson also has two teeth on the bottom, so we brush and floss everyday, he surprised me and let me do it, he is definitely my son. Everyday is an adventure with Jackson, I love being a mom to him and taking care of him. I will have to post some videos of him crawling and saying, "momma" I love it!!
