Mitch is a ladies man.

So Mitch has always been found of the older ladies(he loves a good rack, LOL!), but now he has a couple girlfriends his age too! He loves the ladies! Our friends the Wootens have Madisyn and the Robinsons have Brooke and we went to the pool the other day and had to get this pic...

They are oblivious to him, but he was super excited! :) So cute!! Then on Sunday we hung out with Brooke again for her baby blessing and got some more pics of them..

At first she wasn't too into it! LOL! Stop touching me Mitch!

Look how huge he is next to her!

Then she warmed up to his advances!! Aren't they so cute together?! They were killing us!!


I also got back his 5 month photos and they are ridiculously cute, so control yourself cause here they are...

Hey I warned you!! Adorable right? ;)

Had to get one with Mommy! I love it! Although I really wish I would have pulled up my top or stationed him in front of my cleave.. oh well. Sorry for the show.

Then the clothes came off!!! I just love these! He is such a little ham and I'm glad he knows what to do for the camera now! He LOVED the photographer!

I Love his seet baby face!

One last one Jennifer Aniston style! LOL!! As you can see it was hard to pick! Luckily JC Penney's has great photo deals cause I would have been sad to go without one of these!!

Kayla's Blessing


I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Mitch has a cousin so close in age and that lives so close by! I'm excited to watch them grow up together, cause they are already so cute together! I loved having boy cousins my age and I hope Mitch and Kayla love it just as much! Last Sunday our family got together for little Kayla's blessing and it was a fun day and Kayla was just so precious! She didn't cry one bit! She just sat there and looked pretty! Sweet little thing! Here are the pics from that day...


The whole family, minus Seth and Brian. Seth was working and Brian is in Idaho

Tater, Mitch and Tmac, love this pic - so cute!

Mitch has come to love his Uncle Tracy very much!!! He feeds him yummy stuff! ;) That is the trick! This isn't a go ahead to everyone else, I just feel bad trying to stop Tracy since I did with his kids!

MMMMMM... Top Chef!


So I am a BIG Top Chef fan and season 6 just got started last night and I'm so excited for all the new episodes! I always get so hungry watching them cook and I wish I could be a judge on that show and taste everything!! It definitely makes me want to cook and eat fancier! So my top pick for this season is Jennifer! When she was first introduced I wasn't too fond of her, but she grew on me by the end of the episode! I like that she knows what she is doing and isn't too cocky... like Mike, I hate it when they are like that! Plus I think we need a female winner this season!! Tell me who your favorite is!

I want to plan a Top Chef Party soon too! Got some fun ideas! Until then Bon Appetite!

Almost forgot to post this!

A few weeks ago my dear friend Natalie came down with her kiddos from Washington for a 3 week visit! It was like she moved back, it was nice to have her around for awhile, even though it was definitelty not long enough!! We were able to get in a couple pool days and a dinner out with friends! Our friend Brooke and her family were also in town from Utah for a Disneyland trip, so we met her and the Green Family at Downtown Disney for some Rain Forest Cafe! It was fun to catch up and even though Mitch gave me a hard time that night by crapping his pants in the middle of dinner and then throwing a fit while feeding him, it was totally worth seeing everyone! ;) I'm excited to be going to Washington next week to see Natalie again! Taking Mitch with me! Here are some pics...

All of us at dinner

Our Little Man Is 5 Months Now!


Wha wha What?! This is seriously happening way too fast! Whenever I think about it I get a little sad. Mitch is growing by leaps and bounds and it is killing me! He is now over 16 lbs, super stable and we are doing the hip sit carry with him.. usually while he grabs onto my hair, neck ear or whatever else the little monkey can grab onto! He screams/shrieks like crazy! Whether happy or mad that kid makes use of his powerful vocal cords! It is on the verge of not being that funny anymore though.. :) okay I guess it still is, but I'm sure it won't be for long. Any feedback on how to corral the screaming would be most appreciated! He is a hungry little guy who still wakes up 3 hours every night, yep you read that right... EVERY 3 HOURS!! I've tried letting him cry and he just cries FOREVER! I talked to his Dr about it and she said he is just hungry, since he eats and goes right back to sleep. Great! So I feed him. She gave us the go ahead on the rice cereal last month, but we held off until this week. We gave it to him Monday night before bed in hopes of getting more sleep and it didn't work. The Dr said it might not, but we were hoping. Our little guy just has a super metabolism I guess. Oh well, who really needs to sleep 8 hours uninterrupted? Good thing I love him like CRAZY!! He now grabs at anything in his vicinity, so we have to be careful of what is around him now. He has been eyeing my new cell phone and has tried to grab a few times, but luckily I am too fast for him! ;) Not for long, I know! I know he is thinking "Boy that thing looks like fun, mom and dad are always playing with it!" We have just added the jumper to his mix of toys and he has been rockin the Bumbo for a few weeks now, we love that thing!!! I don't know what people did before that, it is the best and I literally take it EVERYWHERE! He giggles like crazy when we "get his tummy", with zerburts or just jiggling it. He LOVES kisses and will lean in for them and has even started giving them.. sure they are open mouthed and he is more or less sucking on your face, but it's the thought that counts right? LOL! He loves to watch kids playing, being outside and in the water! Surefire ways to keep him happy! He has become a super cuddle bug when he is tired and I love it!!! My favorite time as a mom! I feel so blessed with him in my life and even though it makes me sad watching him grow so fast, I'm so glad he is such a happy and healthy little boy! Are you ready for some cute pictures?! Oh yeah you are...

Checkin out the ladies at Hermosa Beach, close your mouth son.

SYTYCD.. dance.. Dance.. DANCE!

Last week I was able to go to the final taping of So You Think You Can Dance and I had SO MUCH FUN!!! My friend Traci was able to get tickets for the last competition night, so not the finale, but the night before! We made a big day of it cause we had to be out there at noon to pick up the tickets! Afterwards we went to lunch at CPK (my fave) where we had the funniest waiter and then to Sephora to hook up our faces with some skankalicious makeup! ;) Then we went and got ice cream at the Disney ice cream parlor, where James really stinks as a waiter! LOL! Then we checked out come freaks and stars AND THEN to the taping! We met Jeanine's(my favorite) friend and parents AND Melissa's hubby, the one they would always show in the crowd! We were totally star struck, which is funny cause they aren't even the ones on the show! It was at thne Kodak Theatre so it was huge and there were so many people! We finally make it to our seats and we were the last row! :) Yep, we were that black line above everyone else when they showed the crowd!! I tried to get us moved to an empty balcony seat area but the usher I asked wasn't important enough to make it happen unfortunately! Oh well though, cause it was still SUPER AWESOME!!!! Just to be there screaming Jeanine's name was incredible!!! I had a great time and thanks so much Traci for inviting me, I felt so special! ;) OH!! And jeanine won, just like I hoped she would!! She was the BEST! Here are our fun pics from the fun day...

Us and the tickets! Yaya!

Top Ten Memories of the Bills Family Vacation!

Seth, Mitch and I were blessed to be able to head out with my immediate family to Southern Utah for an awesome week long vacation! We were able to go to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks (So Beautiful!!!) and stay with our Aunt Leslie, Uncle Enwood and their girls Joelle and Beth! So nice of them to let us take over their home!! We had a total blast and here are the Top Ten Memories of our good times(Sorry Erin, I'm totally biting off your idea!! Loved it!!)...

1. Caravan-ing! We had 3 LOADED cars and Walkie Talkies to communicate with! We were lucky to have my bro Tyler with us, he made the trip so fun for us and kept Seth company while I slept, read and took care of Mitch in the backseat! Usually Seth is so lonely on road trips!

Guy Love! I love that my dear husband and my bro love hanging out together!

Mitch and Mommy bringing up the rear!

Mitch napping with Sparky, so glad we brought him! Mitch developed a little road rage on this trip and Sparky definitely helped calm him down!


2. The Biggest Costco Trip EVER!!!! No pics unfortunately... we should have gotten some!!! Since we were staying at our family's home we were able to use their kitchen and grubbed real good off of 5 carts of food we got!

3. Family Devotionals! We each got a night to share something special to us and it really helped to bring the spirit each night and keep us from killing each other! ;) My favorite was the night outside, we had dinner around the campfire and sang songs into the night! One of the great things about my family is how we can all carry a pretty good tune!! It sounded so good in all that nature!! Check it out in this video of us singing "Give said the little stream" in a round(dark, but the sound is what is special!)...

And the pics...

Mitch and Daddy

My Mom giving her devotional on National Parks, really cool and got us excited for Bryce the next day!

Me and my bros Tyler and Brian

Everyone around the campfire!

Our little family!







4. Visiting Bryce Canyon! So pretty!!! We all had Tye Dye shirts that I made for everyone and we decided to all wear that day! It was easy to keep track of the kids, but probably weirded out all of the foreigners! LOL! We almost witnessed a german kid falling off the side of a cliff, he was chasing a dollar!! That poor mother LOST IT!!! I made a note to self while watching that... Mitch will wear one of those toddler leashes until he is 18! ;)

Beautiful pic I got on the way there!

The whole Tye Dye Family! This was one of our crazy pics, I always like them better than the normal ones!

Mitch and Daddy enjoying the scenery!

Gorgeous Bryce Canyon







5. Playing Games!! During our lazy days and every night we would play games! Dominos, Piker(Mormon Poker, without the $), Golf, and Boggle were our faves! We even had an old school Mario Bros Tournament on the Wii, Amber won that one! There was also a pool table, ping pong table, Foose Ball table and horse shoes! We were loving it!!

Tyler throwing

Dad throwing, not quite sure what Tyler is doing! LOL! WHAT IS HE DOING?!!!

Seth throwing







6. Visiting Zion National Park! So awesome!!! We did the Narrows and Weeping Rock as a big family and then Seth and Tyler did Angels Landing a couple days later! It was just amazing!!! Erin was a trooper taking Kayla(her month old baby), luckily we were all able to help with her other kiddos Austin and Autumn!

Mitch and I in the Narrows

Brian and Tyler jumping in

Dad jumping in

The Andres Family in the Narrows, isn't this pic sweet?!
So after we were done the first day we ate snacks and then hopped in the cars to go back... well the roads were a tad windy!! Poor Austin threw up all over himself!! This was after stopping twice and giving him a bag! It was sad, but so funny! Especially since it wasn't our car and that he almost made Brian throw up too! The kid ended up not being able to keep anything down for over 24 hours! So sad.

Seth climbing Angels Landing

Seth and Tyler at the top of Angels Lading! So awesome!





7. Relaxing In The Jacuzzi!! Where we stayed they had an awesome jacuzzi that we used to relax in, so nice!! Felt like we were at a resort!

All us siblings, plus Seth - the BEST HUSBAND! :) Love you baby!


8. Enjoying All The Nature! It was so green and beautiful there! I wish it was like that here! We loved being able to see the stars at night! Watching the very friendly chipmunks, squirrels, deer and mice(Erin LOL!) get close! AND we were able to catch a few lightening storms! SO AWESOME! Here is a video that Seth got of one...

Neat huh?

Mitch and the beautiful sky!



9. Bringing the Bumbo! So glad I remembered to bring the Bumbo!! It was so nice especially since Mitch is rolling around like crazy and we can't just lay him anywhere like we used to! It helped us get stuff done and him be able to be part of everything!! Love it!!

Quality time with Grandpa

Having his first popsicle!

Watching a movie with his cousin

Taking in some nature!



10. Family Time!!! We had such a great time together, it is times like these that makes me want to have A LOT of kids so we will be able to enjoy this later with our kids! I LOVE that I have a big family! I'm glad each one of them were able to make it and although we really missed Paul(Erin's Hubby), I'm glad it didn't stop her from coming with the kids! We laughed so hard and will have tons of funny memories... What is that?! You want me to spank your mouth? You're starving me! Is anyone listening to me? LOL! That really chaps my A$$! Blank stare.... Thanks Mom and Dad for a really fun trip and great memories!
