Bram and Kathryn's Family

Let's get "Buzzed"

2008-11-06T20:42:00.000-08:00

Hi Family and Friends,

It's been awhile since we posted any pictures. We are currently in California visiting Bram's parents. We were here for a really great hair cutting party.....ok, maybe not so great for mom....but we love her and just wanted to have some fun even though what she's going through is not so fun. We had a lot of laughs and were just so grateful that we all could be here with her, and so glad that she let us share a sensitive moment with her. Here's some pictures...I hope she's okay with them being posted online.

Tim Whittaker and Brock decided to take the first blow from the clippers. We discovered that the Baughman family has a definite talent for hair artistry.

Oh...by the way Kathryn cut her hair too.....unfortunately it was done previous to our discovering that we could do it ourselves.

Tim just looks good no matter what!!

Brock is modeling the cool version of the "old man" hair do.
Spikes rather than the traditional comb over.

Mom is sporting the new side buzz...it's really hip!

Bram really has the touch for getting incredible height.

Here's the side of mom you never have seen before. Shhh...don't let bishop see this, he might have to get a new president.

Mom and Dad....True love birds!!! A match made in heaven.

Mom's hair reached levels it has never been before.

The final hair do's. I think after three hours of hair cutting and I don't know how many different styles and cuts...the party came to an end at midnight. Mom was a great sport....she says that the blow was definitely softened for her, but she should know that it softened the blow for us too! Mom, thanks so much for all the fun, and a special thanks to Brock and Tim for their participation.

Abram Walking on his First Birthday

Here's Abram walking on His First Birthday. Yes, I know the video is sideways. I'm still figuring out the details.

Halloween

We started our day with a trip to our local "Zoo". It's called the Living Desert. We have annual passes thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Baughman. I'm sure that we will be returning quite often. I think our favorite animal is the Giraffes.

We Have Sheep here too!!
And Goats.
I'm a pumkin.

The Pumpkin Patch
Eating Pizza at our Ward Trunk or Treat

When you are a pumpkin it's tough keeping your top on.
I'm all grown up and independent now that I can walk.

My baby isn't really a baby anymore...all of the sudden he wants to walk by himself and do his own thing.

Happy 1st Birthday

Grandma B made Abram's cakes

It's my party-I'll cry if I want to!!

(a cell phone or cordless phone is my #1 favorite)

Opening Presents
This was a bit confusing. Just when we got one opened they would take it away and make me open another one.

Finally ready to get my Birthday cake!

Abram really didn't like wearing his hat!
Make a wish....
I don't feel like cake!!!!
Abram was a bit worn out from all the attention all day. We were so excited to see what he would do with his cake, and the big moment finally came and he didn't want to have anything to do with this part of the celebration.

A coke makes everything better!
Grandpa B swears he hasn't given Abram any of his "silver bullets"---but for some reason Abram always spots a can or finds one in the pantry and likes to pretend that he's drinking it.

Kennedy sure enjoyed the cake
Okay, I'm ready for my cake now!
(about an hour or two later Abram was ready to poke at his cake)

Look at what I did!
He destroyed the whole cake and then he finally decided to taste it.
Yeah....it was good!!!

It's been an exciting month. Abram is learning so much. He's been talking in sentences in his own language. He's quite the chatterbug. I'm not sure where he get's that from....maybe Bram. Although, it's me and him alone all day so I talk to him all the time. He can actually say quite a few words. Dad, Ma, Dog, Door, Tree, Hello, and I'm sure a few others. Just in the last few days he has started walking more and more.

Every morning we have a ritual...Abram is our alarm clock...he wakes up around 7:00 a.m., dad goes and gets him out of his crib and brings him into our bed. I nurse him, and try to catch a few more zzzz's and then it's Abram Attack....he crawls all over us until we finally get out of bed.

What a comedian...his expressions say everything.
For Labor Day Weekend we went water skiing in Lake Arrowhead. Last year I was pregnant, so it's been a long time since I've tried skiing. I know I dont look the most coordinated, but hey atleast I got up! We've taken Abram out on the boat several times this summer. In the beginning he really didn't like the life vest, it was difficult for him to turn his head. I think he felt like he was being restricted...flashbacks of the car seat or something. I think his neck grew longer or something, because he really relaxed on the boat this time.

Can we say POOL SAFETY! Yeah, Abram basically has no fear of water or climbing into the pool.

Happy Birthday Brenna 9-22-07. She just finished a race, what a way to start your birthday! Me and Abram met up with them for lunch. Thank you for letting us celebrate.
We took a quick road trip to Newport Beach. While out there we visited Aunt Nadine (I really hope that I spelled her name right). We had such a great time with her.
This is called a getting healthy day. Abram was experiencing a little cold.
He recovered quickly and discovered that he can climb into a special little place in our "antique" table. Bram is quite attached to this table because it was his good friend Justin Scambray's family table. In fact Justin told us that he grew up with that table, and that his pets loved to climb into that special little place. See, we don't need any pets---we've got Abram.

Summer Vacation with both Grandpa & Grandma A & B

Every Summer Kathryn's parents come out and vacation in Lake Arrowhead with Bram's parents. We are so blessed to have families that have so much fun together. It definitely makes our life so much easier. Here are some pictures.

Alien Landing-Abram playing with his swimming floaty

On July 30th we went to Newport Beach and it was the perfect day. Abram is right at home in the sand. We previously lived by the beach, and I walked it nearly everyday that I was Pregnant with him. Some of his favorite movies are surfer videos.

Let's boogie!

Should we go in? Well, we did and it was a blast.

On August 1st we went to visit Griffith Observatory, a planetarium in L.A. The following pictures are from that day.

Dear Family & Friends,

Being so far from family and with so many requests for
pictures of Abram we have decided to start this blog page. I hope that you all
will enjoy the pictures, and consider starting your own page so we can stay up
to date on your family also.

The beginning of August Bram's Brother Beau (who lives on the East Coast) brought his family out to visit. We all met in Las Vegas. This was Abram's first time meeting them. It was so fun getting together with his cousin Tyler.

Here's a picture of the whole Family
