beautiful boy

happy birthday to the mom

YESTERDAY WAS MY WAIT FOR IT... 30TH BIRTHDAY!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM 30. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WAS I EVER GOING TO BE 30. I WAS THINKING WHEN I WOKE UP THAT I SHOULD BE DEPRESSED THAT I WAS TURNING 30. BUT IN ALL ACTUALITY, I WAS FEELING REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE LIVED 30 YEARS AND HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE SO FAR. I JUST FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE A HUSBAND THAT IS THE GREATEST AND TWO BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY LITTLE BOYS THAT I LOVE MORE THAN I CAN SAY. I SPENT THE DAY WITH MY LITTLE FAMILY. WE HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR IN THE MORNING FOR DILLON'S 4 MONTH CHECK UP, AND TO GET FLU SHOTS. THEN WE WENT TO LUNCH AND WENT TO THE PARK. MY MOM WAS WONDERFUL AND TENDED MY BOYS WHILE CAMERON AND I WENT TO A MOVIE. IT WAS SO NICE TO HAVE SOME TIME ALONE WITH CAMERON. THEN MY MOM HAD A YUMMY PIE AND ICE CREAM AND SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHEN WE GOT HOME. IT WAS A GREAT DAY, LOW KEY AND SPENT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE I LOVE THE VERY MOST! THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE MANY PHONE CALLS OF BIRTHDAY WISHES.

this is what happens when..

you leave a 2 year old in the bathroom alone. our sink broke and cameron left to go grab something and i went to check on mason and came into this. him sitting in the sink full of water with his clothes on with screwdrivers in hand. not very safe i know but cute nonetheless.

two future utes

as you may know, we are HUGE Utah fans at our house. we are so excited that they are undefeated and know they will go all the way and beat those nasty cougars. my boys have no choice in the matter they WILL be Utah fans or we might have to disown them. kidding...sorda

morning walk

every morning I take the boys on a 3 mile loop around Draper. this morning we saw a family of deer eating their breakfast. it was absolutely perfect outside, i wish it could stay like this all year.

raspberries

mason loves raspberries. grandma cindy has a raspberry bush and mason frequently visits to see if there are ripe "rapberr" for the picking. today he managed to get quite a few.

bottles b gone

I never thought the day would come when I could say that Mason no longer has a bottle. I thought that he would be packing a bottle or two to kindergarten with him. But, with a little persistence, a night with no sleep, being hit in the face a few times with a sippy cup he has finally kicked the habit. He hasn't said the words "Ba Ba" in two days and has slept pretty much through the night the past two nights. He won't take a sippy so we pretty much went cold turkey. Next up, the blasted binky.....

Weekend Getaway

Last weekend we took a little trip up to Bear Lake and stayed in my family cabin. We took some of Cameron's family. It was a lot of fun and much needed. We hadn't been anywhere all summer because of Dillon's situation, so it was really nice to get away finally. We spent time at the beach riding four wheelers and playing in the freezing cold water. I think that Mason is missing a cold sensor because he acts like it doesn't even bother him. He would play in it all day. On Saturday, we took a little day trip up to Jackson Hole and had lunch and just enjoyed the fall weather. It was so beautiful.
