Father's Day!!

How wonderful it is to have a husband, who is also the father of my child. The joy this man brings to mine and Khyrum's life, its hard to find words to describe.

There are a few characteristics I would love to point out though:

He is hardworking- Anyone that knows Tate knows that he takes his work very seriously. He is not a lazy person. He will do what he has to do to provide and maintain. I once asked him what his hobbies were even though I knew the answer (Soccer and Hockey), but the answer he gave me was WORK.
-_-

He is very considerate-  Always wanting to know what the next person thinks or will do anything to make others happy, even if he is left out. This is one of the reasons I fell for him. He is a total gentleman. Chivalry is not dead because of him.

Gentle and kind- He barely raises his voice and he is such a sweetheart to Khyrum and me.

Smart- To me he is very smart. He would beg to differ, but I ain't having it. Come on, I mean he looks like a nerd, so he must be... right? :s

All in all, I am so blessed. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime.  I only wish that others could be blessed the way I am. 

HAPPY BELATED FATHERS DAY to all the men

A toddler?!... Seriously?

On Saturday April the 7th at 2:56am, after 8 full hrs of labour, a handsome little boy was born.  365 days and counting later Khyrum Drake is now a YEAR old!  Can you even imagine that? Me neither and I've watched him grow everyday since. Its pretty bitter sweet that he's gotten so big. I mean, not only does he reject my cuddles because he thinks he's too grown for that, but we now have to be more conscious of our diet decisions cause he wants and eats everything that we do.

But besides him being so demanding like a grown man, We have been fortunate enough to enjoy a really fun and outgoing little boy. Now that he is a year old he has been:

* Walking for a good while now.

* Eats almost everything. ( have'nt tried him with nuts or tuna fish yet)

* Can handle spicy foods and drinks whole cows milk

* Talks, but its mostly gibberish

* Can sign more, please, thank you and milk

And many more things that I won't brag about...

We had a little birthday family dinner for him. We didn't wanna go too crazy on a birthday he will never remember, but we did snap when it came to the birthday cake...

Shout out to Khyrum's Birthday twin Maishaah!

He has so much personailty and he is ridiculously loving. A total momma's boy but is definitely a sucker for his dada.

 He can be mischevious, always getting into stuff no matter how much you tell him no.

 He is multi-talented

 Charming and Adorable

Helpful

 Did I mention funny?

Oh how we L.O.V.E our ...

  There you have it. This is the reason why I am so mushy and have become a major nurturer these days. He makes me want to be a better person daily. I look forward to many more years with this kid. Sometimes its hard to imagine me with another baby. All I want is my baby boy!

So we have discovered that Khyrum has a natural ability to dance... we know he got that from his mama cause his daddy cant dance! He loves to shake his cute lil' booty. He sure can drop it like it's hot!

He has also been taking steps. Before he got sick he started taking a couple steps from his dad to his mom. During his sickness all he wanted to do was cuddle so he had no practise walking. Once he got better it seemed like he had to relearn how to take steps. A couple days after he started taking a lot more steps. He mostly will walk from dad to mom but when we try to make him walk from mom to dad most times he wont do it. In this one he is pretty skeptical, due to the amount of times he has fallin on his head.

Out with the old and in with the new!!

Happy New Year Y'all!
Oh what a wonderful year 2010 was. So many things to be grateful for. We had our kid that year and we moved to a new place also. I (Felisha) was able to go home to Toronto and visit family too. All in all, the year has been good to us.

New Years Eve

We wanted to keep this years celebration simple, especially because we are now a threesome. We accepted the offer to go out for dinner at a Japenese restaurant called O Sho. Delish! It is a really cool, mellow restaurant that gives you the Japanese experience by making you sit on the the "floor" (not really) while eating dinner. We were lucky to be accompanied by wonderful people. Good times!



Sexy us :)

After our dinner, The Mendanhall's and us went back to their place for a movie. We watched the movie called My Sister's Keeper. Phenominal movie.Such a tear jerker. The roles were beautifully played. I recommend y'all watch it.

Our Little Bundle of Joy!

Khyrum Drake Boehme was born at 2:56 AM on Saturday April 17, 2010, in Raymond. He came after 8 hours of labour. He was 8 pounds 1 ounce. He was due to arrive April 10 but of course, he decided to come on his own time. So far we can tell that he will grow up to be determined. He is also, pretty observant. He just sits back and watches what is happening around him. People's first reaction to him is usually that he is so "serious", but we like to think that he just doesn't give away his smiles to any and everyone lol He really is so sweet... delicious even lol. He is such a big goof. His favorite thing to do right now is make "farting" noises on his or someone elses arm lol

 

 

Being parents.... Wow. We still can't believe he's ours! Life for us has a whole new purpose. It is much more meaningful. We see things in a different perspective now. We've become more gentle, a lot more humble and even more creative. Since we have been fortunate to witness the miracle of creation, we feel a lot closer to God and His power and His mercy.
