A sunny day in SLC

Yesterday we took Kody for his ultrasound at Primary Children's. We are glad that his hip looks great and we don't have to do anything for it. He also turned 4 weeks yesterday...how crazy is that.

Since we were already up in that area, we decided to take Lucas to Hogle Zoo. We had a great time (even if it was hot - record breaking day)! Lucas was so excited to see the animals, but once we got to one, he wanted to see the next. We couldn't hardly get him to stay long enough to actually look at them!

Probably Lucas's favorite part of the whole zoo...getting a drink from a lion!

Mom, Lucas & the tigers!

Lucas was scared to death of this wood gorilla. I wanted him to stand by it so we could measure him, but with no luck. He has a death grip on Jed!

Kody spent the entire time like this!

Dad, Lucas & the rhino!

This leopard was growling and hissing at Lucas through the window. He thought it was so cool. He kept saying, "So tute". Jed and I just laughed! Apparently we were interrupting it's lunch time...they had just fed it a bone! By far...the coolest part of the day!

I can't get over how tall these things are!

This little monkey liked to show off his teeth by resting his upper lip on the chain link fence...weird!

It's so weird to see a white alligator. Both Jed and I were suprised at how big he actually was. I was picturing something smaller.

Lucas wanted to ride the zebra's!!

Chub

He's getting more and more rolls and his cheeks are so pinchable...could he possibly be a contender for the Fattest Baby Award?? Nothing would make me more proud! Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Huh??!!

Aren't they suppose to be older than 3 weeks??? I know they grow up fast, but this is a little too fast for me! I choose not to believe it!

Oh What a Glorious Day...

when I can button up a pair of my regular pants without sucking it in! Goodbye maternity clothes...until we meet again (in a few years!)

Growing like a weed...

Yesterday was Kody's two week check-up. He weighed in at a whopping 8lbs even and had grown to 20 1/2 inches. I just can't hardly believe how fast they grow. We do have to take him up to Primary Children's to have them do an ultrasound on his left hip. Dr. Bennett said he felt a little to much movement in his hip, but we shouldn't worry to much about it. They have to make sure the socket isn't growing flat. Other than that, he looks great!

5 years down...Forever to go!

Happy Anniversary Love! It seems like we've been married for so much longer than 5 years. It's hard to remember life without you by my side. We've grown so much together. Now we have two little boys who we both love beyond words! Thank you for always listening to me, even if it's not the ideal time of day! There is no better way to spend eternity than with my best friend. I LOVE YOU!

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!
