After the Baptism

After Claire's baptism we took the kids out to the park. There is this new huge park in Pocatello that we had never been to before. The kids (big and small) had a great time! After the park we went to Farr's Ice Cream, where Grandpa treated everyone. Thanks again Grandpa! And thanks for having us all at your house April!

Claire's Baptism

We had the opportunity to go to my niece Claire's baptism. It was such a nice day and we all had so much fun! Almost my entire family was there. Congratulations Claire! We are all so proud of you

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone! We hope you have a fabulous green dinner. We know we are!

3 Months and Growing Like a Weed!

Grayson is 3 months old. We are so lucky to have him. He is a really great baby! he is sleeping through the night and he has really found his smile!

Surgery

Lilly had some minor surgery today. She had an epothileoma on her face. Basically it is just an overgrowth of cells that attach to a hair follicle. The only way to get rid of them is to take them out. We knew she would be too nervous to do it in the doctors office and we really didn't want her moving because it's on her face and we wanted to minimize scarring. So the best option for us was to have her go to sleep. She was pretty nervous about doing it. But she was also very brave, as long as we didn't leave her side. They were so nice at the surgery center. They brought her a new teddy bear and then they asked her if she was pretty nervous. When she said she was, they brought her a sedative that she could drink down. That way she would be really calm for when they wheeled her away from us. The nurses said it would work really fast, but it didn't. She was pretty agitated for a little bit. But then, all of a sudden, she got super funny. Anytime they would ask her a question, she would just raise both her eyebrows at them and smile. Then they took her into surgery. She did great! She was so happy that she could have a Popsicle after surgery. She was pretty out of it for a while. By the time we could take her home, she was in a super silly stage. She would randomly laugh then stop abruptly. Then when we got home, I helped her to the couch. She got up once and promptly fell over. When I asked her if she was OK, she said, "Yes Mom, my legs are just being super silly!"

Anyway, She was ready to go back to school the next day and she is doing great. We are so happy and feel so blessed to know that she did so great. It is always a little nerve wracking when you have to watch someone else wheel your child away.

She was a little nervous!

After Surgery

She's Potty Trained!

I am so excited to say that Molly is finally potty trained! We are all so happy that she has finally accomplished it. I am not ashamed to say that it took much bribery on my part... but it did the job!

Cooking with G!

Sometimes the only thing that will calm Grayson is if I wear him around. So today I was making brownies and he decided it was time that he get in on the action! I can tell, he is going to make great things someday soon!
