Fun in SLC!

Last week, we headed up to Salt Lake for my annual checkup on my nonexistent colon. I'm happy to say that we got a good report from the doctor. He said that things were looking so good that I wouldn't have to be on medication and that I only have to come back every two years now. YEAH!!! That was the best news of the trip. We decided to take it easy and take a few extra days off just to visit with family and get back in touch with everyone. I have to say that this was one of the more fun medical trips that I have been on and it was a lot more relaxed than I thought it would be. Oh and we went and did little shopping for the house that we are STILL waiting to get into. So anyway, here are some pictures from our trip.

Random Moments of Silliness

Things can get pretty crazy at our house when you have a little boy like Jaiden. He is always looking for something to get into. Here are just a few examples...


We've replaced the binky with chocolate ice cream to keep him happy. :)



Jaiden broke into Grandma's stash of those bowl covers that look like shower caps and decided that he needed to try one on.



Jaiden likes to sit under his favorite blanket with his dad and point to all of the monkeys on it. I think it is so cute.

Our little trip to Cali

So, a couple of weeks ago, me and Sara left Blanding and our husbands (they had to work) to fly over to California for a couple of family events. I wish you all could have seen very pregnant Sara and me, very young mother, trying to maneuver our 5 pieces of luggage, a car seat and Jaiden in a stroller around the Salt Lake City Airport. It was hilarious. We had to have help from every man that wandered into our path. We probably looked pretty pitiful. I thought that was the funniest (and most tiring) part of our trip. But we survived and we had a whole lot of fun out in California with the family. It was good to see everyone and we loved every minute of it.

Jaiden loved watching all of the men working outside around the plane. (I don't really know what they are called...crew men. We'll just make up that name for them.)

Here's a funny, little story: We bought Cinnabuns at the airport before we left for our last flight back to Salt Lake for breakfast the next morning. The next morning me and Jaiden started eating our huge cinnamon roll and Jaiden just gradually took control over it. So these are some pictures of him sitting on our bed (w/ nice clean white sheets) watching TV while he sticks his finger into the gooey cinnamon roll, pulls it out and licks off all of the goo. This is how a Cinnabun cinnamon roll really should be eaten. I just feel bad for the maid that had to clean after that messy breakfast.

Happy Father's Day!!!! (belated)

This is late because my internet has been down lately but I Just wanted to wish a happy father's day to all of the dads and future dads (Jeremy and Joe) out there, especially to Justin. He has been such a good father to our little Jaiden and I am so grateful for all that he does for our family and how hard he works every day. I love you Justin!

We've pulled the plug!!

We finally did it! Jaiden is officially done with his binky. After a weekend of screaming and crying every time we put him in his crib and a week after that of adjusting to sleeping without it, he is almost back to normal. He doesn't cry or anything when we put him to bed now and the only thing that has changed from before we got rid of his binky is that he wakes up at 6 now instead of 7:30 which isn't too fun. It is nice though not to have to look for it all the time.
