Ok, so I was trying to load videos for the first time the other day. It wasn't working. So genius Bryan showed me another way. But I still am not totally savvy, so I have to post the videos all by themselves. I do what works. Anywho, this vid is one that Bryan put together for a video contest. He did a bang-up job and I wanted to share it. Good job babe!

Beethoven O
So, Sloan has been playing the piano a ton lately, and O looked like he wanted to do it. I have now found something that he LOVES to do!!!

Mr. Mobile
Here's our little crawler. There's no audio, but he's still adorable.

Picture updates
So here is our cutie pie and what our family's been up to. Not too much, but we are livin' up life in Mesa. O is getting so big! He's still a small baby, but he's already 10 months old. Bryan and I were just planning his 1st birthday party! Geesh... but he's lovin' his new front tooth. (Only 1 on top has come in.) So he loves biting into things... like berries. Obsessed.
Ha. He looks fat here. But this is the best angle for an optimal tooth shot.
Since O FINALLY decided that crawling was the cool thing to do, he loves to pull himself up onto things now. Which also means he now is a lot more whiny and pulling at my legs to be held. He follows me around like a lost puppy. But O's in the picture with his second-cousin Sloan, who I watch 4 days a week. She is such a cutie and it's like I have an older daughter.
Now for some older Easter pictures. He looked so dapper that day.
He loved getting the bright Easter eggs. His cousins were a little faster than him though. He'll catch up one day.
And this last picture is up because O's aunt Aubrey moved to Utah to start on her own. She is going to a hair school in Provo. But we love and miss her and hope she has a blast! I loved my school days in Provo.

Smores, tents, smoke and dirt
You gotta love camping! And the fact that we can do it here in Arizona already!!! (Sorry about the snow UT peeps.) A couple of weeks ago we went a little down south and whipped out the camping stuff. We went with my mom's side of the family, the Caffrey's. They were a blast to camp with. And the Caffrey's are all about food, so we were eatin' well. Here's our lovely campsite. (Had to drive through a creek bed to get here!)
Nice and deserty. The only problem was that you had to watch where you were doin' your business so you didn't squat on a cactus :) But this was O's first camping trip and he did a fabulous job! He loved chillin out by the fire. (Not too close...)
But his bed was the best. It was FREEZING at night and I didn't want him to wake up. So I wrapped him in 3 layers of clothes and multiple blankets made up his bed. He was so toasty and didn't wake up all night, even though the wind was SOOO loud and no one in the whole camp slept!!! Plus that was the night that he cut his first tooth! Go O!
Here is a cool time-lapse picture Bryan took of our tent at night.
And here are my boys with O's ugly hat that served its purpose... no sunburn.
My nephew Miles digging for treasure...
And O and I. Don't judge.... I am allowed to look scary when I am camping. :)

Good grief...
My last post was when O was 3 months old?!? Gag me with a spork. He's now up to 7. So I've decided on a new tactic. I changed my background to something that I will have to change at least when Easter is over so I HAVE to get back on to do that. Maybe it will remind me to blog.... It's a long shot but worth a try.
4 months of back blogging.... That could be very boring. So to catch up on the BKO Illguth family I shall do some picture highlights until I get caught up to the present.
Start with Halloween. Our party was way fun and everyone had a great time dressing up and eatin' grub. I love the mandatory dress-up rule. We got some good costumes.
Our family dressed up like hill-billies. I didn't get a good picture of all of us. But Bryan was a hoot and O got to wear a flour sack :) This picture didn't quite capture how much the kids LOVED our Halloween treasure box!
Next was Christmas in Utah. It was O's first Christmas and he got to go on his first roadtrip. He did ok on it, except for the fact that he was kinda sick. Poor guy. This was how he spent his Christmas morning. It was so fun to see the Illguth family though!
Hahaha. I love my husband. He dressed up with a snowman kit we got from Steve and Jacque.
Other than those holidays, not too much has happened to us as a family. But Baby O is growing up fast! Rolling over was a big milestone and he conquered that one a while ago. Now he's a steamroller on the floor because he can't crawl yet. He started sitting on his own a couple of weeks ago. He's already had two haircuts. Not because it's growing too fast, but because it was this nasty old-guy comb over looking thing. Here's after his first one.
And this was just an adorable older picture of him!
But here's pictures of what he looks like now. And he's sportin' his new teeth in these pictures! He got them at 6 1/2 months, so a couple weeks ago. So nice to have them in so he can sleep through the nights again!
So there's a tidbit for now. I have some other stuff but I don't want this post too long. And I'll have to figure out how to add some videos....

3 Months Old!
Dag nab it.... I missed my one post in October. I totally thought that since I was staying home now I would have all of this time to get on here more often..... Guess not. Oh well.
So here are some pictures of Baby O from the past couple of weeks. He's 14 weeks old today, 3 months. But first, here are some little updates about him.
*He started smiling back about a month ago so now we get to see his adorable smile!
*He is so close to giggling because he is SUPER ticklish. (I'll see if I can get a video of it.)
*If he could lay under his mobile or a fan and watch them go around all day long, he would. He just can't help passing out :)
*Hooray!!! He finally took his first bottle and drank some of it about 2 days ago. He hasn't been too fond of them or binkies. He would make the funniest faces.
CHEESE!!!
Squirt is just ONE of his many nicknames.
He wasn't too fond of Tootsie's kiss.
He tries to stay awake with Dad for as long as possible since he doesn't get to spend too much time with him because he's at work all day.
Just yesterday he had barfed EVERYWHERE and as you can tell by his face, he felt so much better. Bryan thought it was nasty, he was holding him, and I ran to get the camera :)
