Look at that grin!

Doesn't it make you want to pack him up and
take him home?

First smile caught on camera!

Today we caught Broden's smile on camera. He has done it before, he just wouldn't do it for the camera. Today we got lucky! He is starting to coo as well.... such a fun age! We caught Clay in my brother's duffle bag yesterday morning. Maybe Shane can take him back to California as a carry-on. I am sure he would be all for it!

Which is Which??

A lot of people have been asking me if Clay looked like Broden when he was born. Or they say that Broden doesn't look at all like Clay. Well I will let you decide and see if you can tell which is which.

Uncle Jaden's boots are better!

Waterslide fun

Me and the boys

What a cool Dude!

Look at those cheeks!

What a good babysitter!

8 days!

We got back from Logan on Thursday. It was nice to be back "home" for a few days even though it was incredibly hot. We took care of doctors appointments and did a lot of shopping. On Tuesday afternoon we were waiting for Clay to wake up so we could go to Sam's club. My mother-in-law had come from Brigham City to go with us. I had eaten a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and afterwards had kind of a stomachache. After having it for about an hour and a half, it started hurting so bad that I was doubled over and in tears. So we left the kids with my mother-in-law and my mom took me to the emergency room. After 2 doses of pain killer I finally felt better. They did a blood test and urine test and couldn't find anything. The doctor was pretty sure it was my gall bladder, since my pain was right under my ribs. So the next morning he sent me to get an ultrasound. We had to wait until Thursday morning for the results. Come to find out I have gall stones. They want me to watch my diet and see if I have anymore attacks. If they become frequent I will have to have my gall bladder out. I feel pretty good now but I am scared to have another attack. It hurt almost as bad as labor! Clay has been having fun outside. He, Jaden and Holly played on the water slide the other day. He had a blast. Also, last weekend he had a hard time because everyone was outside hauling hay. So we set up a stool at the window and he watched and watched the tractor go around. Shane is doing well. We are counting down the days until he comes home for a visit. I am so excited!! 8 more days!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4th of July!!!

We went camping with the Clark's for the 4th of July up Grey's River. Clay had a lot of fun and Broden didn't care one way or the other. We brought his trike and he put quite a few miles on it. Aunt Holly dug a hole and put water in it since the river was to high to play in. Clay was a very muddy but happy boy. He didn't enjoy the mosquitoes very much. We found out that he is extremely allergic to them. He was pretty swollen all over and you couldn't see the bites until the swelling went down. It didn't seem to bother him though. By the time we went home we could have scraped the insect repellent off of him. I put Broden in his snow suit to sleep and he stayed nice and toasty even though it was pretty cold at night. I slept with Clay in the twin bed in the trailer, definitely not my ideal sleeping arrangement! We had fun though.
