10 months and growing

Here are some pictures of our sweet little King Benjamin. You can't tell, but he has 4 teeth! You can kind of see some of them in the pictures. As you can tell Benjamin loves his bath time and he also loves his monkey and we often find him asleep with the monkey on top of him. He also loves to sit in front of the refrigerator and play with the letters. He's so much fun. At his 9 month appointment he was 18 lbs 15 oz (35th percentile) and very tall - as the doctor put it. They always do an imprint of his feet on a card and the doctor was amazed by his big feet! So, Josh is happy that we have a tall boy. Benjamin has already signed a contract with the Boston Celtics. He's so much fun and is starting to mimic a lot of things. He also likes walks with mom and Aunt Jessie, and he loves bread...just not a lot of it all at once. I had to sweep some out of his throat the other night because he was choking on it. SCARY! But all is well here in Zion, er, Logan. Every day is Zion with my boys! Yes, I meant that to be cheesy and sappy!

Here are some pictures we took on our trip to Denver. Sadly, we didn't take as many pictures as we would have liked. But we got three pictures of us as we started out on our voyage. We were all in good spirits...even Benjamin was happy about life as you can tell by the mess of porridge in his mouth. The closer we got to Denver, the worse Josh started to feel. He got the flu and was sick for the rest of Thursday and all of Friday. He was supposed to study Calculus on Friday with my super smart sister-in-law. He got sick so he didn't have to study Calculus...I know his evil planning. :-) But since he was better on Saturday we went to Tiny Town. It was a beautiful drive up there. Sadly, it rained, but Benjamin fell right to sleep! We also got some really fun pictures. The rest of the time we spent with family playing games and having fun. Thanks to Sean, Stacy, Conner, Garick, Heather, Kara, Evan, Ashlee, & Roxy for a wonderful time! We miss you guys!

4th of July catch up

Here are some pictures of the 4th of July. There are some captions on the pictures, so click on the collage and you can read more about it. Over the 4th of July we went to the Howard family reunion. It was on my dad's side, just my grandparents and cousins. There were about 50 people at my grandparents and Uncle's house...it was slightly crazy. We had a good time, though. I was sick going into the trip, then Josh caught it, and then Benjamin caught it full force. Luckily Benjamin had his 9 month doctor's appointment the day after we got back. He was such a trooper!

We still kickin

Yo everyone i just thought i would say hello. let you know that we are still alive and well, we have been away from the blogging world for some time but we are back and with a vengeance. I (josh Huff), am working a grave shift tonight so you get to hear your weekly grumblings from the huff. 1st i would like to say how much i love my wife and son. they are absolutely the greatest thing in my wife. Benjamin is getting so big! when we look at pictures of him as a baby i can't believe he was ever that small. He now has 4 teeth and two more on the way, wwwwaaaaaaaa! He is one great kid. Terra is still working and enjoying being a mother. She does a ton for our family, i would be lost without her. 2nd, i decided that i want to do the tour de france. No not really come on geez, i don't even think they let big guys like me think about that. I have a rad road bike and i love riding it. My next goal after baseball season ends this week, is to start working out my legs more and getting my legs conditioned to start doing long distance riding on my bike. Next, i have to say that i love denver!! we were there last weekend and it was awesome. This might be our next stop on the train of life for the huff family. We have loved all the stops that our life has made, but this might be the next stop. I'm sure we will post pictures from our trip soon. The trip started rough, i was sick with the flu, and i lost 16 pounds in 3 days. A very scary moment in my life for sure. Thanks to some awesome rest and my wife's help i was able to get better to enjoy the last few days of the trip and hangout with fam. We went to tiny town. it was a little village of houses made smaller to make you feel you were a giant. Although it started raining and we didn't get to ride the train which i was definitly disapointed about, it was fun to crawl into the minature houses and take some fun pictures. Last but not least, i'm looking forward to this next weekend. I am getting together with my brother in laws to do a little man retreat. I have the greatest 6 brother in laws. They are greatexamples and great friends. The chance to be around them is great. I've come to know and love each of them over the last 3 years of our marriage. They all have great talents and have taught me great things.
Well in closing i have to say this, in 8 days me and terra will have been married 3 years, it is a great celebration for us as a couple. Alot has happen in these 3 years and even more will happen in the next 3, but i want to tell my wife i love you and i love the journey we are on together. I also look forward to going to dinner and harry potter with you that night!!

To all i hope you are well, we thank you for your love and support. And good day, i said good day!!

The simple joys of life!

 

A Benjamin smile - it can make your bad day HAPPY!
 

Benjamin planning his escape route..."Now if only I could walk, or even crawl..hmmmm - eh, back to hangin with mom!"

 

"1....2...3....you better be hiding mom, that's as high as I count!"
 

Happy guy - yes, he is like this every day. What a joy!

Food Glorious Food!

Benjamin LOVES to sit in his high chair and EAT. He loves the food, but his most favorite time is at the end of the meal when I give him the spoon and let him play with it. He thinks that is the best. In the top left picture you'll see he's using the spoon as a microphone and singing to his mommy since his mommy always sings to him. In the picture on the top - the third one in - he is so happy about his food that he is saying, "HALLELUJAH!" The last row just goes to show you what a goof he is - he definitely belongs to me and Josh! Benjamin is now 8 months old - I can't believe it! He is sitting on his own, rolling from his stomach to his back (never back to stomach, he doesn't like his stomach), and learning lots of new things! He is so much fun and such a good baby...or as Josh says - "He's a rad kid."
