Happy Birthday Jocie

Jocelynn celebrated her 38th birthday yesterday and we are all so blessed to have her be in our lives. We surprised her by going to Logan and meeting her at the Copper Mill for lunch. But, I think even a bigger surprise was the fact that her and Stephanie showed up wearing the same outfits! They looked like cute little twin sisters! Happy Birthday, Jocelynn. WE love you.

Clayton's Blessing Day

Yesterday, November 1st, was Clayton's Blessing Day. Bryce was able to give him a priesthood blessing in which he was given his name and and some choice blessings throughout his life.

We had many family members and friends come to his blessing. There were around 40 people that came to support us. My grandpa Cooper bore a very powerful testimony in church. I was blessed to be able to witness that testimony.
Clayton was well behaved all day. In fact he slept through the whole blessing and sacrament meeting and family passed him all around. Everyone wanted to hold him but there wasn't enough time. He looked so handsome in his little tuxedo all white and pure.
After the blessing, we had everyone over to our house for lunch. I was worried about trying to fit all those people in our home, but it worked out just fine and I hope everyone had a great time.

Clayton, I hope you always will know how much your mom, dad, and Cooper love you. You have been a blessing in our home and we love your sweet spirit. We are so honored and blessed to be your parents. We love you so much.

Fall Fun

For Family Home Evening, we decided to carve pumpkins with Jacqui, Jared, and their kids. All of the kids had a great time pulling out the seeds and helping carve the faces.
My friend, Bekka just bought a new house and so the kids and I decided to go rake up the leaves in her yard. They had so much fun jumping in the leaves and throwing them around. It reminded me of when I was young and we had a lot of leaves in our back yard that we would play in every fall.

6 Weeks

Clayton turned 6 weeks today. He is starting to lift his head alot more. Bryce calls him "bobble head" right now. He is getting stronger though. He is also a very loud baby...he likes to make lots of sounds. He grunts alot while he is sleeping and after he eats his bottles. It is very hard to sleep in the same room with him and expect to get any sleep. He also sounds like he is starving when he is drinking his bottles.

Clayton got his first enima tonight. The poor baby has been having a rough time these last few days. It helped and he feels alot more relaxed and content.
He loves it when mom and dad hold him. He just seems to calm right down when we pick him up. When we talk to him, he tries so hard to talk to us. He moves his mouth and sticks his tongue out. Clayton also loves to take baths with mom. Its cute to watch his little frog legs move back and forth.He also opens his eyes while he is sleeping. You can see the whites of his eyes as they roll back. I love to watch him when he first falls asleep because that is when he smiles the most.

Congratulations Tyler

My little brother, Tyler, just got his mission call to Guatemala, Guatemala. He will leave in February and will serve an LDS mission for two years. I just wanted to let Tyler know how proud I am of him. He has always been such a neat peron and a great example to me. I hope my boys will grow up to be like their Uncle Tyler. Tyler, I am happy that you made this big decision to go on a mission and teach people the gospel of Jesus Christ. You will be a great missionary and I know you will accomplish great things. Thank you for being such a good brother and friend. I will always look up to you. (not just literally) I love you.
