2 tubes for Jude

jude has had a bit of a problem with his ears since he has been born. he has had 13 ear infections in 18 months. my doctor suggested tubes about 4 months ago so we went and saw the ENT and he concurred with jude's pediatrician, tubes were the way to go. we scheduled the appointment and then i got a little hesitant about jude having to have "another" surgery under general anesthesia so we cancelled. then of course shortly there after mr. man came down with 2 more ear infections. i knew then it was the only option for us.

so we went to primary children's hospital to have tubes put in jude's ears. he did really well, and was the most well behaved child there. he didn't fight anything they gave him and took it all in stride. the staff seem surprised about how well he was handling it all, not crying after waking up from GA. little did they know he is an old pro at the hospital routine, he can take it all. he is my higgley town hero for today!

memorial day weekend -day 3 (gwyn turns 2)

we had so much fun with the lamoreaux's this weekend. we played the Wii until the "wee" hours in the morning, and i am now the best bowler in the family. we ate a lot and laughed even more. i am so glad that i have kids(s) now for their cousins to enjoy. robyn and bob were the best hosts and everyone knows that i love there kids like my own. the interactions between jude and gwyn are hilarious, she is a diva. i just can't wait for my chubby gilbert to start moving aroud so he can join in on the fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GWYN!

i dont want to say she's my favorite niece because i don't want to sound mean to my others but i do love gwynnie!

jude likes to say "laloooon"

gwyn may have been yelling at jude here, not sure.

memorial day weekend -day 2

memorial day weekend - day 1

we decided that we would go exploring up snow canyon in st. george. somehow, neither robyn or i dressed for the occasion so it didn't last long. robyn stayed in the car and fed gilbert while the rest of us went for a little stroll......

bob and co.

trevan and jude

my first sons, abe and tuck

and last but definitely not least miss gwyn

after a bit gwyn and i got hot and tired so we turned around and went back to the car with robyn and gil. we listened to music and ate airheads instead.

there she is.......

a lot of the time when we are down with at my parents house and everyone is there my mom is MIA. really she is just in the kitchen while everyone else (me included) is having fun. she never complains that she does all the work, but she always does ALL the work. sometimes she has help but most of the time it is just her. i am trying to be better but as i said she never complains or says anything so its easy to just forget about dishes or helping with dinner. wait, i take that back i help with dinner, its the cleaning up part that i always have a problem with. so i am sorry mother.

anyway she is a great mom and the best nannie! we were down to spend some time with just her this week and it was quite fun. she and jude had fun playing at the park. jude really does love his nannie.

1+1=2

notice that thing at the top my blog???? its true, i'm pregnant! i know i'm only like a day pregnant but we are so excited for another angel to come to our house and play with us! jude is excited too, when asked where mommie's baby is he either points to my stomach, calf, or boobs. apparently the embryo is moving! he can already say "baby" and says it about almost anything.

wahoo for baby number 2!

my crazy family

you never know what your experience may be when you are at my parents house for dinner and all the kiddies come. lets just say that its fun! there were golf games with the giant golf club, hula-hoop competitions, and even a "can you jump the hula-hoop while its rolling?" game. its nice that my 55 year old father thinks he is a strapping young buck and can do all of these stupid things. i love being part of something as weird as my family. did i mention that the hula-hoop is the latest thing in my dad's health craze? its a 5 lb hula hoop that "melts" the inches off your waist......right!

trevan can hula-hoop with jude

first summer splash

my lil heartbreaker

yaRd wOrK

i am officially a slave driver and poor poor trevan has to deal with me. we knew going in to being home owners it was going to be a lot of work, but not this much. holy cow! one thing we didn't take into consideration was the shape of the yard. we were a little surprised when everything thawed that most of it was either dead, disgusting, or decrepit. so we are starting from scratch and it is WAY more work that we are cut out for, but thus is life!

MY HERO

jude likes to disappear into the shed.....

Mommie Day with The Gregory's

i love terni gregory so so so much. it is a well known fact that i have the best in-laws in the world and the best mother in-law too! terri not only raised the man of my dreams (no, not you landon) she also is one of my best friends. we have so much fun together, she can even be sillier than me!

jude and his peeps!

i told you that even though there is a 14 year difference between trev and lando they act about the same age

jude and his new obsession, TRACTORS!!!!!!!
