Pictures from Grandma's Trip

Isaac in his favorite toy. It's my favorite too because it keeps him occupied.

Haley ready for church.

Isaac looking dapper.

Pioneer day celebration. Grandma got to celebrate Pioneer Day with us. We had fireworks, sparklers, and glo necklaces.

Isaac likes Peek-a-boo

I just love it when babies laugh!

Haley's first soccer game

Haley played her first soccer game today. I guess I should say she "watched" her first game today. She did kick the ball 3 times. Well the ball kicked her once. She had another good kick during the game and she got to kick the ball after a scored goal.

Logan lovin on his brother during the game.

She at least looks like she wants to play. She does really well at home. She just gets shy when there are other people around.

Isaac looks cool.

Shopping Day

My mom and I went shopping while she was here, and I'm guessing that is not something she would like to do again. Here is how I have to shop, 3 in a stroller.

Since Logan has been in the hospital, he's had 2 moods extrememly hyper, as in this picture, or very whiny. This is Logan in the store, after we found him hiding in the clothes.

Here is Haley sporting her new glasses as a belt.

At least lunch went well, they enjoyed the trains.

Logan is doing so much better. The first couple of days were hard. He would hold his mouth out and try his hardest not to swallow. It was kind of gross, the spit would just pool in his mouth. The only thing we've really been able to get him to eat is macaroni and cheese. He wants to eat everything but he takes one bite and spits it out. He's been acting more normal he keeps wanting to be outside he told me yesterday he wanted to go for a drive. Here he is sleeping, he's been getting special treatment and gets to sleep in mommy and daddy's room so we can watch him. It kind of scared me the other night because I couldn't hear him breathing, but then I remembered that's a good thing!



Here's a video of Isaac he moves himself all over the place and then gets upset. If you watch the video closely, you can see that he is picking the toy up.

Day at the Hospital

Today we took Logan in for his surgery. He had an adnoid and tonsilectomy. He has had breathing problems since he was born, he has sleep apnea, and he always has a runny nose, so we are hoping this fixes everything. He did so good today. We had to leave for the hospital at 6:30 this morning, He was very happy about going to the doctors to get his nose fixed. he kept telling me he was going to miss me. It was so sweet. Here he is in the waiting rom. Doing a puzzle that Grandma brought for him.

We got to the hospital for our 7:30 check in, but he didn't end up going in until 10. He couldn't eat or drink before. He was very good natured. Here we are dressing him in his hospital pajamas. He really liked them. His socks were too big and that really bugged him.

We then had to go to another waiting room for the pre-op. This being a children's hospital they had lots of toys and Logan was well entertained. They gave him a sedative before the anestesia to calm him and take care of any separation anxiety since we couldn't be with him when he got the anestesia. After that he had to stay seated so they put him in this wagon. He sat and played for 15 min until they came and got him.

About an antagonizing hour later, they came and got me as he was waking up form the anestesia. When I went back there the nurse was rocking him and he looked so out of it. She said to me he is so sweet and he loves to cuddle. They had his shirt off because of the surgery and he had these cords sticking out from him it looked so sad. I took him and he fell right back asleep. They then moved us into a recovery room. I put his spider man pajamas on him, but then he made me take them off and put his hospital pajamas back on.

He's done real well. Since he noon, he already had some slushie, 2 apple juices, is working on a grape juice, and eaten a half bowl of macaroni and cheese and is taking a nap.

So is dad, it's been a long day for him.

Thanks to my mom who was home with Isaac and Haley so Kevin and I could both be here with our boy.

Growing up

Isaac is growing up so fast. He is able to move himself around the floor. This is how I found after I had left the room for a few minutes. He loves to watch Haley and he'll just sit and laugh at her.

I Love to see the Temple

Haley has had an obsession with the temple this week. Come to find out the temple has been the theme in Primary. She asked me if we could go see the temple and luckily we live real close and so I took her to see it. Then she asked when she could go in the temple and I told her one day soon, she told me the Temple is a beautiful house of God, and so then Logan ran to our picture of the San Diego Temple and said Temple is a beautiful house of God. It's so wonderful to see Haley retaining knowledge that she is learning in Primary. It means she actually listens too. Yeah! and she's passing her knowledge on to her brother. Here she is singing her version of I Love to see the Temple. Unfortunately I didn't get in videoed the night before because then she was singing the Temple is a God of House. It was hilarious. (She likes to show off for the camera sp this is a little bit dramatized)

Sleeping positions.

Our children have been sleeping in some weird positions this summer I don't know if the heat or what.
Enjoy!

While talking about sleeping positions I wanted to put this video on of Logan sleeping. This is one of the major reasons we are having the adnoid and tonsilectomy done. This isn't even a bad night for him, this is normal. You can hear him all the way down the hall. No 2 year old should have to sound like this. I know you can't see it really well, but I didn't want to wake him.

4th of July (a little late)

Our 4th of July was pretty kicked back. We stayed home and played with the kids. Kevin's brother Dallin came over, since his wife and son were out of town. We live in a place where they still allow fireworks and the kids had a blast watching them. I'm not sure who has more fun the kids or the big kids that are lighting the fireworks and trying to discover new ways to blow their hands off. Isaac was the only one who didn't enjoy himself. He's not into loud noises. Then we sat on the back deck and from there we can see the valley and watch all the different shows.

Funny sign

Thanksgiving Point is an attraction out here that has a farm, a dinosaur museum, shopping area, fancy restaurant, golfing, a children's discovery garden, and another beautiful garden where they have a tulip festival every year. Well the two garden's are surrounded by large fences and have gates that I assume get closed at night. Well on one of the gates is this sign

The first time I saw this sign I really laughed. I was wondering who they were posting the sign for, those people who had pet deer and liked to take them on outings, or those deer who can interpret signs.

On June 6th the kids and I continued our drive into California. It took a lot longer than usual having to stop and take care of the baby over and over. We finally made it and got to finally introduce Isaac to the family. While in California we had Maddison's b-day party, went to Prado Park which had a really cool playground and water area, Sea World, and just hung out and had fun. Unfortunately Haley got an ear infection and woke up screaming Tuesday morning and we had to take her to the doctors. Logan got a double ear infection while we were gone, and I have to thank everybody (especially Tami) for taking care of him and cleaning up throw up and everything. We also got to meet Boston for the first time. Logan and he had fun everytime we laid them next to each other Isaac immediately started hitting him. I hope it's not a preview of things to come.

4 months old

I know I should be updating this with my trip, but I wanted to talk about Isaac instead. Isaac went to his 4 month appointment this week. He is 15 lbs 11 oz and 25 1/2 in. long. About the 75 % in both categories. He has also started sitting up this week. He can sit up for about 1 min by himself, he loves his exersaucer, he has 2 teeth already, and we started him on rice cereal this week (he really did like it). Last night he was on his tummy on the couch and I watched him scoot himself forward. I showed Kevin and then promptly removed him from his tummy, because I'm not ready for that yet. He has all of a sudden grown up so fast. We took him swimming last night and he loved it, he splashed and kicked the whole time.

I took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. While there they mads Plaster casts of fossils, played on a water and sand table, and dug for fossils in a sand pit. They had a lot of fun, and it was air conditioned, yeah!

This is the Children's Discovery Park at Thanksgiving Point. Getting a lot of use out of those year passes.
