Family pictures!

We did family pictures the other day, here are a few of my favorites.

Lets meet baby!

Hey everyone! Baby is HERE! I got off bedrest on Monday and within hours of seeing my doctor I was in labor. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and then off the to hospital. At 930 PM we arrived at the hospital contracting 5 min apart. We were admitted and I thought great this shouldnt take long. Well after 13 hours of labor and luckily only 2 pushes he was born at 1030 AM on October 6th. Gavin was 5lb 14oz and 19 inches long. He is doing great so far and we are so lucky for that considering he was only. We are home and doing great. Well dad looks fantastic but if you cant tell it had been a long night for me and Gavin.





He started turning yellow already, his jaundice is in the high range but we are just watching it, BIG CARSEAT little bitty baby! He is down to 5lb 7oz as of last night. It was an experience trying to get the carseat tight enough.Carson has yet to meet Gavin but will be home later tonight since he was not allowed in the hospital. Cant wait for the brothers to finally meet!

Big Boy Bed!!!

After we went to Vegas but before the big accident we transitioned Carson into.......A BIG BOY BED!!!!! We took apart his crib and he was a little upset about that but then he helped us put it up for the baby. So after that we thought this would take a good 30 mins maybe an hour to put this bed together. After we got all the pieces sperated and started we realized that the main support beam was split, I ordered this bed online and there was no way to get one right now but now Carson didnt have a bed!!! So I called Walmart in TEARS and told them they had a bed just like it and if I could come in and get the piece I needed out of the box. Taron didnt think they would let me but I took Carson in the store and who can say no to him! They opened a box of a different brand bed and traded pieces with me. I ran home and it FIT! So this hour long job actually took more than 4. Around midnight we finally got done and put the sheets on. So I thought was this worth the mess and then Carson jumped in all by himself, laid down, and was BEAMING!
We sat in his room telling him how he has to stay in bed at night, he cant get up and wander. We gave him all the rules and he was so excited and proud.
He has Crayola crayon sheets with an airplane comforter.



He did fantastic that first night, actually we have not had many issues with the transition. I knew he was ready. He shows off big bed to everyone and thinks he is so so big.

Each night we put him in bed and he runs over and opens and closes the door a few times, turns his music on and off, and then finally crawls in bed and goes to sleep. If he does wake up he will stand at the door with it open and cry but he will not come out until one of us tells him its ok.

I cant believe that he is already this big and Im so proud that he transitioned without problems. Now onto potty training.........

The day daddy got me dressed!

One day when Taron came home Carson wanted to go outside, so they went to his room to get him ready. When they came out of his room this is how he was dressed......oh dear but it was kinda cute! Later they put boots on to but Carson loved it!

The Surgery!

Well I know its been 5 days but Carson had surgery on Friday. He did very well considering. The doctor came in and said he did get both tendons and the nerves but she was able to repair them all, it is still not known what kind of feeling and function he will have that will just have to be seen in time. He has been a trooper, we noticed his splint slipping off over the weekend and then the worst happened....It got wet! This is bad! I called his doc and she said to get it as dry as possible and they would change it on Monday. When we went in on Monday and they unwrapped it I was devastated. Since it had only been 3 days since the surgery it was extremely swollen and bruised, and because of the water it was white and water-logged. Hopefully it looks better next time. He is doing well now, it doesnt even phase him to have the big cast although caring for him is much harder, he is more whiney and needy, gets frustrated easy, it takes 2 to bath him and none of his sleeves fit over his cast so dressing him is rediculous. Thats ok though because he is ok and it will end eventually! Our next appointment is next Friday so hopefully we know more by then.

OUCH!!!!!!!!

Well it has been a LONG few days. On Thursday Carson and I were cleaning out his room getting ready for winter and the new baby. We were trying on old clothes to see what we still needed to buy for winter so Carson was in his diaper and I was in my PJ's. I was in his closet and he ran out of the room for just a few minutes when I heard a HUGE CRASH and a horrible SCREAM! I ran into our room and saw Carson on the floor with a vase that held our change shattered all over him, he was screaming and covered in blood. I picked him up and ran into the bathroom thinking he just had a little cut so I looked him over and rinsed him off and saw a horrible sight. His left index finger was just hanging there the cut was so deep I could see the bone. I knew I needed help getting to the hospital so I grapped a washcloth wrapped it up and ran outside where luckily my neighbor was washing his car. I ran to his house and said "I think Carson needs to go the the ER" We must have been a sight because he dropped the stuff he was holding and looked at his finger. It was so bad he grabbed him and said go get what you need to go the hospital. I ran in the house and grapped my purse and the diaper bag, by this time they had gone through 3 washclothes and a hand towel of blood. Me, Carson, and the neighbor were covered in blood. We grabbed a pressure bandage out of the 72 hour kit and wrapped a cloth around his hand and got him in the car and I went to Mckay ER. When we got there they said oh did he get cut and I said "Ya its pretty bad" they acted like I was overreacting so right in the triage they unwrapped it and it was bleeding so bad, the nurse looked at it and at me and said "OH we should put him in the big room" Having it unwrapped for just a moment the floor was covered in blood. After we got in the room they numbed it with a topical cream and changed the dressing again, then gave him numbing with the shots and had to change the dressing again. Finally the ER doc came in and got all the stitches out and got ready to stitch him up but once he unwrapped it he looked at me and said "I think we need to call the hand surgeon it looks like he got a tendon" Well I already had figured it was that bad so they put him in a splint and sent us home to see a hand surgreon in the morning. Friday morning we went to Dr Okawa who is a plastic surgeon they unwrapped it (again) and she looked at it for just a moment and said that everything to the bone was severed including all the tendons and possibly the nerves. So it was alot worse than we had been anticipating. He will be having surgery including a incision that will probably extend into his palm. She will repair the tendons and nerves but is unsure at this time what kind of motion and feeling he will have. He is currently in a splint and is scheduled for surgery on Friday the 11th, (I really would prefer sooner but its labor day weekend). He will then be in a splint for 8 weeks followed by weeks of physical therapy. He was very brave in the

ER he barely cried when they numbed it and laid perfectly still while they cleaned and put in 2 stitches. He is doing fine as of now though he doesnt seem to mind the splint I think he is doing much better than me.

Carson's Birthday

Well it happened, and so much faster than I thought but Carson has turned 2! We had a little birthday party on friday with his friends and it was so cute!



As everyone was arriving we just played with balls! I know thats Carsons favorite thing to do and it seemed like all the kids enjoyed it.

After everyone came we did temporary tatoos! It was so funny they all gathered around and were excited when they saw the "stickers" on their arms. The girls got Mini Mouse. Carson and Boston got Goofy. Eli and Ronin had Mickey Mouse and then after Charley put all the rest on her legs it was so cute!

After the tatoos we did a fish pond and the girls won jewelry and bubbles. The boys won bubbles and footballs. We used little fishing poles it was cute to watch them all reel in the toys! Then we played ring-around-the-rosie and sat at the table to have cake!

Everyone loved the chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and M&M's on top, Carson's favorite candy is "nums" or M&Ms.

These are the cutest pictures of my friends and their kids!

I think Remy really liked the cupcakes!

Ronin smashed his cupcake in his face it was so cute and funny!

Here is one side of the table, this is the only way I could get a picture of little Charley on the end she was being shy!

Then Carson got his present...A FOUR WHEELER! He ran to it and jumped on.....backwards! it was so cute. Once we turned him around and showed him the button he loved it he giggled and lauged!


This is me and Stephanie my best friend she came all the way from Logan Thanks Steph!


Well it was a cute little party and just right for 2nd birthday, Thanks everyone for coming. Shauna and Ian we missed you!

A few things to say

Well it had been awhile so there are a few posts, make sure to scroll down and see all our fun times.

Meet baby boy #2

On June 29th we had our 4D ultrasound, it was really fun to see our new addition he was 1 pound and 1 ounce and well if its not obvious enough the arrow should help...ITS A BOY!!


Little baby wanted to say hi to mommy, daddy, and big brother

Our little thinker

He kept turning over so it was really hard to get a good picture of his face.

He kept trying to find his thumb to suck, then he even tried sucking on his toes! It was so funny. I dont know if its possible but this one may be more laid back than Carson.

We are really excited for another boy, and his big brother is pretty excited as well.

like father like son!

I have the most incredible husband so it makes me so happy that my son is turning out to be just like him in every way. Think Im exaggerating I have proof. This is just the last month, my son follows his daddy around and thinks he is the greatest thing ever.

They dress alike!
They both love Ice Cream on the couch!

And they both love naps.

I told you exactly alike, they are adorable. Cant wait for the next one!
