A Walking Pharmacy...

These past several days I spent up in Honeyville at my parents house. My mom and Jess had come down on Thursday for Jess to interview for a job. That evening I started to feel rather achy...the kind where your bones just hurt. By the middle of the night I had a horrible fever accompanied by the horrible chills. Why is that when you can feel the heat radiating from your body...you're freezing cold??!! I spent Friday in fleece pajamas wrapped up in a blanket. Jed and my mom decided it would be best if I went home with her. After a blessing, dr.'s visit and two separate antibiotics, I'm feeling much better. My mom had "three" babies to take care of...Kody, Lucas & Me!! She's amazing. I don't know how I'll ever repay her...although I am sending her a check for the money I owe. In my state of deliriousness, I forgot to take my purse home!! Lucas kept entertained by Disney & helping Grandpa, whether he needed it or not!!

We met up with Jed in Ogden so he could bring me back today. We sure missed him and he missed us, but I know he was happy that he didn't have to take care of all three of us!!

Here are a few pictures from the past few days. Kody is now 2 weeks old. It just goes so fast!

Good Ol' Vic

Lucas absolutely loves to ride my dad's 20-some-odd-year-old horse "Vic". He's addicted to his cowboy hat and Nappy's boots, which are much to big for him. Grandpa found him some chaps and he thought he was pretty darn cool. I personally think he's the cutest little cowboy ever!!


"Dis way Dampa!"

Thanking Vic for the ride!

Just thought this was cool that I actually caught the picture at just the right time!

Lovin' every minute!

One Week Old

First "real" bath...his cord fell off this morning.



Kody is a week old. I can't believe how fast time flies! He is such a good baby and we are enjoying every minute. I'm feeling really good, other than the nights are just too short!

My mom came and stayed a week with us. Which, in my opinion, was way to short!! I'm sure she was ready to go home though. She was wonderful to help out with Lucas and clean my house. I don't know what I would do with out her...she's the best! Thanks Mom!! I love you!

Jed's parents are coming tonight for a couple of days. Lucas is loving all the attention. Not quite sure what he's going to do when it's just me, him & Kody!! Jed is also taking off the next couple of days and I'm super excited to have him home.

Odds & Ends

Kody...3 days old.

Finally...a picture with a normal smile...I Love It!

Such a good big brother.

The Vibe

Nappy had a great time teaching Lucas "the vibe". Not sure what that means, but he had a great time copying!

More Pictures...

Don't be suprised if I bombard you with baby posts for the next little while!






He has such long toes...just like his mother!

Lucas was being so funny...had to take a picture. He HAD to sit on the green blanket too. He's watching Kody's feet move.


Kody's had lots of visitors the past couple of days.

Taken Sunday night...just hours before his arrival...little did we know!

Welcome to the World...

Kody Jedediah Valentine!

He decided to suprise us a little early and came on July 16, 2007 at 3:58 am. He weighed in at 7lb 30z and was 18 1/2 inches. He's adorable and we're completely in love...again! My water broke at home around midnight and by the time we dropped Lucas off at Tawn's and then got to the hospital, it was about 1:30. He arrived about 2 1/2 hours later. I got the epidural just in time because about 20 minutes later I had gone from a 4 to ready to deliver!! They called Dr. Grover (Dr. Glenn was out of town) and she arrived about 5 minutes later. It was kind of funny because she was out of breath from pretty much running to my room! She was great! I'm so glad that he decided to come on his own and I didn't have to be induced. I came home yesterday afternoon and am so glad to sleep in my own bed again!! Here's a few pictures from his first couple of days. We think he's cute...and Lucas has even taken a liking to him!!

Bring on Baby

The date has been set for baby boy #2 to make his appearance. 07.17.07 will be the lucky day! He is, of course, welcome to greet us before that. Jed was quite thrilled since that's the date he originally chose. I was happy that the doc gave us the option since I have been feeling really uncomfortable lately. All the joys of pregnancy...they eventually wear out there welcome! Mostly, I'm looking forward to having another little boy to love as much as Lucas! We have to be ready at 6:30 in the morning for a phone call saying they have a bed ready!

I think Lucas is already starting to feel a change coming on. Jed's work bought us the papasan swing that I had been looking at. After it was all put together, Lucas really wanted to climb in. We had to explain that he's a big boy now. He was really good at swinging it...this baby may experience the "Tidal Wave" without going to Lagoon! Last night we got out the baby bath tub and he's had so much fun playing with it. He's been calling it "baby brother's boat"!
