*Colter at 2 months*

Well, Colter has been around for slightly over two months, so we thought we would update everyone on how he is doing and what we have noticed about him to this point. For starters, his number one trait has got to be his serious case of bad gas. He is constantly tooting! Oh, and they're loud, and last but not least, they pack a wallop. I think he is probably hands down the stinkiest kid that has ever been created. The other day I dropped him off at the daycare at Gold's Gym. Towards the end of my workout I got paged over the intercome to report to the daycare. When I got there the worker informed me that he was "poopie." I didn't have any diapers, and Andrea was in the middle of her workout so I decided to grab him and run home and just change him there. When I got home I took his diaper off and there was nothing deposited in it. Knowing Colter like I do I can't blame those who were working in the daycare. I'm sure he dropped a bomb that stunk so bad and for so long that they just assumed it had to be a fully ripe deposit.


On the more serious side. We love this kid. I'm sure every parent says that there kid is the coolest kid in the world, but lucky for us we really believe it. He is very cute, seldom fussy and usually sleeps for about 6 hours each night. He is really starting to smile alot, and it's funny to watch how stupid adults will be just to get a simple smile out of this kid. But it's worth it.


He is starting to grow as well. Sadly for him the hair in the back is growing at a much more rapid pace than the rest of his head, so this results in "the boy who was born with a mullet." He just had his two month checkup and he tipped the scales at 10lbs. 4 oz. (15th percentile for his weight), and measured in at 23 inches long (26th percentile).His head is also considered very small for his age (18th percentile). Small, stinky, and cute! He's definately a Tippets.

Vote for Chris!!!

Back to School--Yipee!!

So Tanner and Dallin are officially back in school. Tanner is starting fourth grade and is in Mr. Eager's class. Dallin is starting first grade and is in Mrs. Vickers class(also Tanner's first grade teacher).



They were both very excited to go to school this morning. Dallin was all buisness and got dressed and ate his breakfast as fast as he could. Tanner on the other hand, handled his excitment a little differently. He could just not focus while getting dressed or eating his breakfast; and was extra giddy about the whole situation. Hopefully, this excitement will last throughout the year.

Mom will miss them during the day, but it is sure a lot easier to keep the house clean.

BreAnne and Judge's Wedding

On 8-8-08, my sister-in-law was married in the Mount Timpanogoes temple. Chris and I had the opportunity to be there and it was a wonderful ceremony. The sealer could definately feel the love that Bre and Judge have for each other, and could feel the greatness there relationship will bring to this world. The spirit could definately be felt.

I don't have any younger siblings, and I have enjoyed being able to experience what it's like to have a little sister, and a little brother too. Even though, we are quite a bit older then the two of them we have enjoyed going on double dates with them, and game nights. We have developed a great friendship with the two of them, and always enjoy hanging out with them. However, Judge always seems to get the kids all riled. Just wait until they have kids I'm going to get back at them.

Bre and Judge have been together almost as long as Chris and I have. It has been so fun to watch there relationship develop into something that will last forever, and I just can't help but to be proud of both of them for keeping themselves worthy to go to the temple. They have made a great start for themselves.

The day was wonderful, the reception was beautiful. We truly are happy for them, and are glad that Judge is now officially a member of our family. However, I am jealous that they are heading to Hawaii right about now.

Colter's Baby Blessing

Colter was blessed during Sacrament Meeting on August 3 by Chris. Chris did a great job. Colter had many visitors and the blessing circle was really big. Afterwards, we all came to the house for food and chatting. It was a great day, and we enjoyed introducing our newest addition to all of our family and friends who came to see him. Colter was so adorable in his cute tuxedo that Aunt Vicki made.

Even Aunt Tammy came to the lunch afterwards with her bruised body and black eyes (watch out for those air bags). She was in a car accident the week before. She enjoyed holding Colter, and we are all glad that she will be okay after all her bumps and bruises have healed.

Thanks to all who came to be with us on Colter's special day.

What did You Say???

Sorry if you find this inappropriate, but it is just too funny. The poor kid has no idea what he is saying. Do you think the makers of the video game knew what they were doing?
