What we've been up to

Kadens crazy hair... he woke up like this

The Clayton family came up to go through the Oquirrah Temple Open House. Unfortunately we had the ticket time wrong and by the time we realized it we had missed it. So we went out to eat at Cheesecake factory instead.

Kaden finally got his surgery done! We took him in Monday morning at 7 am. He was a little grumpy that morning, probably a mixture between the tension he could feel in us and the fact that he had been running a fever the past 2 days. We checked in and waited for a few minutes til they called us back. They put Kaden in a hospital gown and socks and then checked all of his vitals. I was so nervous for when they would take him away. I thought for sure he would cry and scream for us. Luckily he went with the anesthesiologist without crying. He even blew me a kiss bye bye. I was a quick surgery and about 15 minutes later the doctor came to tell us that everything had gone well. We are hoping this starts a new life for our little buddy with no ear infections. His speech is already improved just in the last 2 days. He is a such a smart kid and we are so happy he can hear normal now.

He was a disaster coming out of the anesthesia and I felt so bad. You could tell he had no idea what was going on or what had happened. He was just crying and looking around. Every time he saw a nurse he would start screaming. It was sad.

Here is his cute little gown and socks

Getting ready for surgery.

We went home and let him sleep it off for a few hours. When he woke up he was as happy as can be! So we went to visit great grandpa Asay. We really enjoyed our visit.

What a cheeser... (the baby of course)

Happy Kids


We took this picture as proof that Taycee does have hair. Its just really blonde and fine. So usually it just sticks straight up.


















This is Taycee's new dolly. When she saw it in the store she screamed (a happy scream) and reached for it. She has been attached ever since. When we tried to take it out of her hands to pay for it she cried. When we took it away to get her in her car seat she cried. Whenever she sees it she gets so excited and reaches for it.

Aunt Jenny came to stay with us after she got her wisdom teeth out. We love having her come to visit, even when she looks like this...

Kaden went #2 in the potty for the first time. Haha we had to take a photo to remember the momentous occasion.

We also spent a weekend in Park City with the Clayton family. It was a ton of fun. We spent Saturday at the Mountain Resort on the Alpine slide, Coaster, and zipline. It was a bit chili but we had a lot of fun. Thanks so much Claudia and Kelly for the fun weekend.

Taycee is pulling herself up on to furniture now. It is so cute. She is really getting big fast. She also recently is saying "da da" which Chris thinks is the best thing ever.

This week is family pictures and girls camp. fun fun fun.
