HANGIN AROUND WITH DES

 

So Desmond is about 2 months old and he just keeps getting cuter. Love this little guy to death. Recently he’s been having lots of hiccups, which has carried over from even pre-birth. It’s the cutest thing in the world. He also does this frown lip when he gets sad that is so adorable you can’t help but laugh. He won’t cry and scream, he’ll simply give you this lip with the saddest face in the world as tears begin to stream down his face. We can’t get enough of it. The pics and video explain everything. (The hiccups part of the video was filmed a few weeks earlier)

               

  

And look at what a trooper he was getting his immunizations:

                    

GALOON WITH THE COFFMANS

We were invited by Mandy’s sister Molly to take advantage of the BOGO week at Lagoon and join her and our nieces and nephews for an afternoon of fun! Lagoon is just so expensive that this is about the only time that we go each year. We had a great time and Desmond did pretty well just hangin around. Mandy’s Dad also accompanied us so it was whole family affair. Man are we exhausted….

  

      

VEGAS GETAWAY WITH THE 305 BOYS

Colton took a well deserved getaway to Las Vegas after a busy summer semester up at the U. He was joined by our good friend Luke and they headed down to meet up with some friends Colton had met online. We joked that Luke was there for protection just in case the strangers turned out to be serial killers. Actually the friends that Colton was going to meet were from Miami (area code 305) and they were meeting Colton in Vegas for a national flag football tournament that they were competing in.

 

He had a great time with his buddies Ossie, Danny and Luke! Colton got hooked up with another one of his deals and was given 3 nights for free at the Wynn right on the strip. In the evenings they would compete in the flag football tournament which lasted 2 days and which they ended up winning! Duh Winning! Him and Luke golfed quite a bit while they were down there and ate some amazing food! They also managed to go see the show “Jabbawockeez” which they said was quote “insane”. We’ve seen many shows down in Vegas so this one is a must see if you’re down there. In the end, they had an amazing time and he made sure to take lots of pictures to make us jealous.

     

 

Oh did we mention that Colton and Luke stopped and hiked Angels Landing and the Narrows at Zions National Park on the way home. Rub it in, jerks…..

  

HEAD SWAPPING MANIA

So while the family was all in town we arranged a family photo together of the Mather family. Our good friend Jeff Hodges traveled down from Syracuse to take the photo for all of us. They turned out great, except for the fact that it was very hard to capture a photo with everybody smiling at the same time. Colton performed another one of his Photoshop miracles as he spent hours swapping heads in order to get the perfect family photo. Good times!

Before (Above) After (Below) I know it doesn’t look like it but there are 10 heads that have been swapped as well as a mysterious arm.

          

DESMOND’S BABY BLESSING

Desmond’s big day had arrived and we were so happy that all of our family could be there with us. We had family fly in from Colorado, Massachusetts, and California to be together. It was a very special day. In fact it was a very special weekend because on Saturday Danielle and Bryan were married and then on Sunday we had Desmond’s baby blessing.

                  

                

             

 

Colton’s mom had saved the outfit that Colton was blessed in back in 1986 along with some photos and gave them to him for his birthday. We thought it would be fun to compare so the other day we dressed Desmond up in that same outfit. Stylin huh?
