Just a few things

I thought this picture of Stetson was funny, he was in the middle of a melt down because we had made him come inside...can you say terrible twos? Anyway, these past few months have been super busy, besides birthdays I have said goodbye to two missionaries. My best friends younger sister Tavia (but I call her Whitney) went into the MTC on the 18th and then my little brother Austin went in on the 25th. I can't believe he is already gone. Besides going to the temple with these new missionaries, which was such a blessing. We were also super busy with goodbye parties, birthday parties and farewells. What did I do in my spare time you might ask. Well, our ward relief society did a portrayal of the parody of the Ten Virgins. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to participate in that and for the ladies who all helped it was a lot of fun. I have also been reading the Harry Potter series. I had only read the 3,6,&7 book. So I decided that I was probably missing bits and pieces and so I went back to book number 1. I am now to book 5 and I cannot believe that it took me so long to decide to read them. I have thoroughly enjoyed them, and I so I say to you if you like the movies and think that you don't need to read the book, you are wrong. I have also been learning how to do genealogy, it takes a lot of time but I am really enjoying it. That's all.

Two...and counting

Wow, blogging two days in a row. So Stetson turned two on March 2nd. Can you believe that I have a two year old?! It really seems like I was just pregnant with him. Time flies. Well, we decided this year to do two separate birthday "parties" if you want to call it that. One for Chads side and one for mine. We had Chad's family over on Saturday, February 28 a couple days before Stets actual birthday.
The day of the party, yes I know Stetson needs a hair cut!

He had lots of fun playing with his two cousins Braxton, and Mason. They watched CARS and ran around.


We ate some yummy pizza and had a delicious CARS cake from Lehi Bakery!


Then Stetson got to open his presents.


That night Chad and I were tuckered out, but Stetson insisted on arranging and rearranging Grandma Jo's chairs that she let us borrow.


Have I mentioned yet how much Stetson hates getting his picture taken. I wonder where he gets it?!



Now onto Stetsons actual birthday he decided at 2:00a.m. he wanted to wake up, so we put him in our bed and their he laid awake until 5:30a.m. watching sprout until we kicked him back to his own bed! He then preceded to sleep until 10:30a.m. And I let him because it was his birthday but did enjoy singing every obnoxious birthday song I could think of for the rest of the day:)

I do think that he did enjoy his birthday, he spent most of the day sitting at the kiddy table grandma Jo let us borrow, as he had his cake...and ate it too!


We ate his favorites for dinner...pancakes and hot dogs. Jealous? He had some more fun opening presents when my family came over that evening.

So pretty much Chad and I were so ready for bed, but alas Stetson was not...I wonder why?!

In the end we were all able to get some rest and we are very thankful to have the love and support that we have, Stetson had a great birthday.

Procrastination

Yes, I don't know why I procrastinate blogging. Because I super hate trying to catch up. Well, here goes. Back to the beginning of the year. January was a fun month and at the end our lil' nephew Braxton had his 3rd Birthday and we went to Chucky Cheese. The little boys had such a fun time!


Although, we have come to find out that Stetson HATES little motion rides!


Now, as you know you get tokens to use for the little rides and games, but I think Chad used most of Stetsons:)



Stetson also had his first dentist appointment in January. The dentist counted Stetsons teeth, he has all 20! And luckily the dentist didn't loose any fingers:)

February... Love was in the air! But so was illness. At the first of the month we all got the stomach flu. Yuck! Poor little Stetson was throwing up every 20 minutes for 15 hours. After we were feeling better Chad and I went out for valentines day a week early we went to Desert Star playhouse and saw Home School Musical. It was very silly, then afterwards we went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. Yum! On Valentines day I had the opportunity to go to the Salt Lake Temple with my Best Friends younger sister. I am so thankful that I was able to go and support her.
Unfortunately Stetsons cold sore virus flared up again. He got it last year and he was running high fevers again, and not eating. Grrr.

We were pretty busy the rest of the month, I love to take Stetsons picture. He however is not fond of the camera. Here is a lovely bed head picture!


Stetson has very particular ways he likes to do things. He lines things up just the way he likes them. Here is a particular example of things I find during the day. he has lined his cars up according to how he thinks they look best.


He has also started sleeping with Shanks. We think the monkeys might be harassing him while he is in his bed. *shank: A sharp instrument used to hurt people that inmates make out of objects (toothbrushes, etc.)*


Well as you can see this post has tuckered Stetson right out! Hence falling asleep on the stairs. But we will update SOON all about the adventures of turning two!
