Just some pictures of Halloween!!! I know I'm slow, but at least I go them posted!!! :)

I can't believe that Mr. C is two months old already! He's growing so quickly! I just love every minute I get to be with him! He went in for a check-up today and to get his first dose of shots, we found out that he is 12 pounds 9 ounces and 24 1/2 inches tall! Such a big boy! He's so cute, I'm not bias or anything, but I really think he is looking more and more like his dad! I just love his cheeks, they get smothered with kisses ALL the time!
So cute folding his hands after tummy time

Not quite sure what he's thinking but it MUST be very thoughtful lol he's always pulling out his binki then holding onto the holder or the binki itself so that its not too far, he squeels when he's ready for it to be put back into his mouth though. You can see his binki indentations :)

Adapting

Even though it's been 8 weeks since this little guy has joined our lives, it still is an adjustment everyday. It's amazing how much you can love a little human being so much, even when you have to wake up to feed, and change them. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have to admit, we went to Idaho Falls today to shop and he is a wonderful shopper! :) I'm so lucky! lol Towards the end he wasn't quite so fond of it, but I got away with it for quite a few hours! Here are some picts of him most recently.

Miss B is such a great helper! She loves to help feed Mr. C, when we switched over to a bottle, she yelled "Yippee!! Now he's big enough for a bottle!" lol she made me laugh.

This is from when we went to I.F. with Daddy and Grandpa L to get supplies for our new house! He was a good little passenger, until he got hungry, then his face turns 3 shades of red and he screams until he gets some food! Don't worry I think this was 2 weeks ago, his cheeks have doubled since then!

He loves it when mommy plays dress up! Really he doesn't but until he tells me to stop, I can right? Or unless he can talk his dad into taking off the acessories that his mom puts on him! LOL

This is such a cute outfit! The CEO and his wife of my work gave it to us, they are big motorcycle fans, it has them on the outfit, and the hat. He did really well, until Brother (aka Mr. W) decided that the hat needed to be in his mouth and not on Mr. C's head, which created a problem since the hat has a chin strap, needless to say Mr. C was yelling because the hat pulling on his chin, and Brother was screaming because he couldn't get it off Mr. C to eat it :) We put the hat up after that! lol
He grows too fast! We're already in 3-6 month clothes, he's so tall, not quite fitting them anywhere else, but he stretches them clear to the toes! His daddy says he's going to be taller then him when he turns two. I'm saying our ultra-sound dates were off and I carried him an extra month or more! :) I'm sure not but it could happen!

Good Morning Calvin

Mr. C is getting quite the personality. He's growing like crazy, and starting to do more and more things. He's quite the morning person, which surprises me considering Kyle and I are definately NOT! I caught some morning smiles this week from him. He's so dang cute, it's hard not to love someone so cute, so early in the morning, but looking at these cheeks and tell me how you could resiste kissing them! Just thought I'd share-

Tiny Miracles

It's amazing how something so little can change your life forever. I have to admit, when the doctor first told Kyle and I we were expecting, I had mixed feelings and emotions. I remember thinking I'm not ready to add to our family and I just want to be a wife, not a wife and a mother. My feelings changed as Calvin grew inside me. I loved this little guy way more then I could even imagine I would. Some things I just love or did love when he was still inside-

*baby hiccups (they just tend to have somehting about them)

*The way his daddy's eyes shined when he first held Calvin

*Catching Kyle talking to him about things

*Listening to the symphony Kyle and Calvin give me every night snoring

*His chin quiver when he gets upset

*Those dang kissable cheeks!

*The cute little smiles and half smiles that you have to quickly catch

*Seeing all the nieces/nephews interact with him

*Not having to fight for the favorite aunt award, because i get to be the favorite mom!

*And just being a family!

It's hard to imagine life without this little guy in Kyle and My life, He just belongs. It's a movement of 2 becoming 3, built with a lot of love.

Calvin James Parsons

I know I'm a little slow, but figuring this 'mom' thing out has been quite time consuming! Calvin James Parsons joined our family on August 5th at 12:22 p.m. He has been quite a joy! It's amazing how much love you can give to the tinest thing! He was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 21 and 1/2 inches long. It was amazing to see how quick Kyle bonded with him. He definately has us both wrapped around his finger! His cheeks are just so kissable! He's pretty much the cutest baby ever (I'm not bias or anything!) Life has changed in a good way, I'm excited for the years ahead, but enjoying every moment that is happening now. I put Calvin down for a nap, and went into the kitchen to do the dishes, I heard this loud sucking noise, and went to see if he was ok- This is how I found him :)

25 people+1 house+3 doors always open= 10 traps and 1 mouse

Ok, so those of you that know me know that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, did I mention REALLY hate mice! I hate mice so bad that I would rather have snakes crawling around in my house!
This 4th of July was a lot of fun. There is just something that defines America like hot-dogs, and fireworks. I had a great 4th. Along with a great 4th came the enjoyment of many family members. ALL of us actually were here at Mom and Dad's the whole weekend. On the Tuesday after the 4th, everyone was gone, and only Grandma N., Kyle and I were here. It was the first time in what seemed like forever that Kyle and I were able to just sit and relax ALONE together. I even talked him out of working on the house til 10 and coming home at 8 to spend some time with me.
Kyle knows how much I hate mice. We had an infestation with them in our camping trailer last year and I made him scrub the trailer down with me and a bucket of soapy clorox water. All the while, he kept yelling Haunta--- (The little pest!) lol
So anyways- back to the story- Kyle and I were setting on the couch watching TV, when all of the sudden out of the corner of my I swear I can see two little pesky eyes flash around the corner wall, headed straight towards the pile of blankets/sleeping bags that were left unfolded on the floor. I immediately JUMP off the couch and yell- "There's a MOUSE". Kyle stands up, and walks towards the stairs. "I swear there is a mouse in the house!" "You're just seeing things I'm sure" he says as he is picking up things at the top of the stairs to try to find it. I begin to fold the heaping pile of sleeping stuff, while he is moving things. "If it's not at the top of the stairs it's gone downstairs I just know it!" All the while thinking crap- all of the baby stuff is down there and the door to Narnia (the storage room) is open... that mouse is definately going to survive down there. I follow Kyle downstairs as we're looking for the little creature. By now, I'm sure he's thinking, I've married a FULL OUT PSYCHO! Honestly! :)
The little bugger of a mouse is spotted, coming towards me, I scream like a little school girl, which makes it turn around directions and go towards Kyle. He stands there, like what do you want me to do with this thing? I tell him, "Stay here, and don't take you eyes off of this mouse while I run upstairs and get some traps" Handy for us to have traps here, I know, because not only am I extremely afraid of mice, so is my mom! We bought 20 of them the last time we went to the store. YES, 20. I grab the traps only 2 of them, and bait them with cheese, then go back down stairs. "Is he still in the corner?"- "Yep, hasn't moved" So we plan where to set the little traps, and Kyle assures me that we can go back upstairs and watch the news and by the time the news is over he's certain it will be caught. I say ok, but then my mouse instincts kick in, and I start to close all the doors in the basement and block the bottoms with towels so that the bugger can't go into any other room. I even blocked Narnia with our pot rack box that we got so that it wouldn't go back there. Then I went upstairs. I couldn't focus on the news becuase I wanted to hear the sound of the trap to know it would be safe to sleep downstairs. After a half hour, we went downstairs to go to bed.... checked the traps... NOTHING- my stomach dropped along with a few explitives coming out. "Do you want to sleep upstairs" Kyle asked :) He knows afraid I am. "No, I'll be ok". Well every movement Kyle made, freaked me out, I swore the dang bugger was in the bed, then I thought crap, my bladder can't wait a whole night without getting up and going to the bathroom how am I going to make it across the hall 5 feet without the mouse attacking me? That was the longest night ever!!! I woke up thinking ha ha we've got you!!! Well--- we didn't. I couldn't understand where the bugger went. We blocked him in, set traps and nothing. More traps that'll do it. so 5 more traps later, and a trip into Narnia confirmed that in fact Kyle must not have seen it move from the corner when I ran upstairs the first time to get traps. "I think Narnia isn't good for the mouse, Tysen told me if he was to ever get stuck down here he could survive for a year! A mouse could for a decade!!" So.... needless to say- There is a mouse in the house never saw it before visitor visitor.... why can't I be like Cinderella and just dress them up? Why must they scare me to the point of screaming and peeing a little in my panties? Lets just hope I can catch the little bugger before Mom gets home from camping, otherwise.... that poor mouse will not have a peaceful death and would've wished it would've went into my trap!!!

Birthday Fun!

So, I went to Utah today with my Dad to run some errands.... It ended up being quite the experience!
Dad and Jason ended up running errands, and I was left to stain the fence at Grandma's. I started staining the fence and all of the sudden the sprinklers turned on! :) Just my luck! (Remember my last name?!) So I relocated, because I didn't know how to turn the water off. It was about 10:30 and I ran out of stain, so I began to clean up.... well when I turned on the hose out back of Grandma's house, I could hear some stirring in the kitchen inside. Aimee is out of town for the week, so Aunt Doreen is staying there to keep her company. All of the sudden I hear from inside,
"My hell, there is someone outside! Who is out back?"(gma)
"I think that is your grand-daughter" (doreen)
"By hell, I don't have a grand-daughter, who is in my back yard?"
By this time, I could've gone in or at least turned around to let her see my face, but I was having just a little too much fun listening to them.
"I'm sure that is your grand-daughter" (doreen)
"You've lost your mind, who is that?!"(gma)
"Hi Grandma!" (Me)
"My goodness it is my grand-daughter!!" (gma)
I just laughed. There is nothing like listening to these two ladies. If you ever need a laugh, just sit in the same room as them for about 10 minutes. I continued to clean up, then went inside to visit with them until Dad and Jason got back. I've never laughed so hard! Got to love it. I hope when I get to be their age I can be just as crazy as them, and have just as much fun and not even realize it! It's definately better then hating life at that age I think! :) Just thought I'd share my adventure of this morning with ya'll!!

29 5/7 weeks

Time has gone my so quickly I can't believe in almost 10 weeks we will hopefully have a little on here! Sad to say but I think I'm going to miss him inside. I wish he didn't have to keep growing and I could keep him in there :) Oh well! I was thinking of things I'm going to miss when he gets out like

*Baylee giving my tummy kisses every time I see her

*Calvin going crazy everytime I hold another baby and it cries or moves

*Calvin bouncing around when we listen to music in the truck and he feels the bass

*Kyle giving Calvin the nightly kiss and telling him to be a good boy so mommy can get some sleep. (It hardly never works, :) but it is so cute!)

I'm anxious and excited for this little guy! He's already so spoiled, I know hard to imagine! I'm not quite sure who is worse at bringing home things for him, me or Kyle. Kyle will find such cute clothes and sneak them into the house then can hardly wait to show them to me! He brought home a cute little Carhart overall outfit that I can't wait to put him in it. This picture of me at 27 weeks. SO BIG! and I don't know if there is any more room for him to streatch, but he's already found that little space underneath my ribs to keep his little limbs. I'll keep posting pictures and keep updating!

Catching up

Ok, Ok, so It's been a while I know! And I have good reason for it, many of them. 1) I work over 40 hours a week 2)I have mounds of laundry 3) I'm pregnant and most days if I remember to not lock my locker keys in my work locker with my truck keys and purse I've survived a day at work and 4) English and writing were never one of my strong points in life! lol

Kyle and I were sealed in the Draper, Utah temple in February. :) He's stuck with me for life, poor guy! We found out a few weeks after that that we are having a little boy in August!! We're SO excited! He's going to be very spoiled and we already know it! Kyle decided on his first name, and I chose his middle name, Calvin James. It was fun to see Kyle's face during the ultra sound when she told us it was going to be a boy. He's been very supportive and has been able to make it to EVERY Doctor's appointment so far. He's an amazing husband. I'm very lucky. Everything is going great. So far so good. I'll keep an update more often :) maybe... don't hold your breath though! :)

Surprise!

I can't believe it's almost been a year since Kyle and I got married. Where on earth did this year go? :) Kyle and I recently took a trip to Las Vegas, for our late honeymoon; then ventured our way to Flagstaff, to see my bestie Tawn; then to Pheonix to go to Brookie and Blake's wedding! We had a blast just taking time together and having a little fun. While in Vegas, I didn't feel very good, and thought I may have ovarian cysts again, since they seem to enjoy visiting every once in a while. When we got home from our trip, Kyle talked me into going to the Dr. to make sure everything was ok. The Dr. examined me, sent me to Ultrasound and decided that I did have ovarian cysts and the best thing to do for them was to stay on my birth control, take a pain reliever, and just try to deal with it the best I could. This was easier said then done, but It was do-able. He said, "One thing to look forward to is when you decide to have kids the cysts will go away". I laughed and said well I guess I can deal with them until then. He told me to come back in a few weeks and he would go over my results and see how I was doing. Kyle and I went back a few weeks later, and he said that the radiologist said he saw 2 cysts, but wasn't too worried. But he also saw a spot that needed further examination. So the Dr. decided that we needed to go in for another ultrasound. So, Kyle and I went back into the ultrasound room and waited again :) We saw the cysts, and he said they looked about the same size as before. He kept going over this one spot and looking at it. Then he got quiet, then turned on the lights and said, "You're going to think I'm absolutely crazy, but I keep seeing this spot and I think you need to take a pregnancy test. I know I'm just shooting this out of no where but I think we'll just do it, then clear it and not worry about it." So, I did, and then waited.... and waited... Kyle told me it would be funny if he came back in the room and told us we were expecting. I decided it wouldn't be too funny and MOM would kill me! He came into the room, and said, "Well you're pregnant!" I said, We are???!!! I'm sure the look on my face said oh crap! He then said, "We tried everything we could to prevent this from happening, but I guess someone higher up had a different idea." I just sat there trying to soak everything in. He was a little worried about me losing the baby because I had been on birth control for the first month and was taking so many other medications that it may effect the baby. So he told me to be careful and come back in another two weeks. We went back, and he did another ultrasound. This time we got to hear the baby's heart-beat!! :) It was amazing. It's amazing how tiny something can be but how much it can effect us! We're very excited and anxious. Kyle so cute. He asks me if he can rub my feet, or put lotion on my legs, and rubs my back to make me comfortable. :) He told me all I had to do was carry the baby. I'm sure this will change, but for now I'm going to milk it for all it's worth. SSSHHH don't tell Kyle lol. But I will keep everyone updated and let ya know whats going on. :)
