Busy Weekend.....

We had such a busy weekend but it was great to be able to spend time with friends and family. On Thursday Easton turned 2 months old. I can't believe how fast time has gone. Here are a few facts about Easton at 2 months old.....

• He weighs 13.5 lbs (88 percentile) and is 24 inches (86 percentile)
• He eats 5 oz. every 2.5 to 3 hours
• He is very demanding on when he wants to eat. He screams if you don't get it to him right when he wants it.
• He loves to lay on his changing table. Every time we lay him down on it he starts smiling. Not sure what is so exciting about it.
• He absolutely hates to have a dirty diaper.
• He has started to squeal when he gets excited and throws his arms around as he squeals.
• So far when traveling long distances he does amazing. He usually just sleeps.
• He is a great tractor partner. I can put him in his car seat and he will sleep for hours while I work for my dad.

I really can't believe how much he has grown. He has gained 6 lbs and grown 4 inches taller since he was born. It's been so fun to watch him grow and I can't wait to continue watching him.

Our Anniversary
It was our anniversary on Sunday and I can't believe we've already been married for a year. It honestly has been the most amazing year of my life and I am so thankful for Kincade and all the things he does for me. He has honestly been a great blessing in my life.

We wanted to go and do something fun for our first anniversary so we decided that going to Lagoon would be a great idea. We dropped Easton and Izzy off at Kincade's parents house for Annette and Cheryl to watch. Then we headed on our way. It looked like the weather was going to be horrible and everyone told us we were crazy for going but we decided we would go and see what it was like. It ended up being perfect. It was about 60 degrees and it barely even rained on us. We had such a blast and I'm so happy we went. We rode most the rides more than once and went to 2 of the haunted houses. I am so happy I got to spend a day with Kincade.

Easton's Blessing
On Sunday which was also our anniversary we were able to bless our sweet baby boy. Kincade did such an amazing job and I'm so glad he holds the priesthood so he was able to give the blessing. My mom made Easton such a cute tux to wear for it. He looked so handsome. I'm so grateful for her and everything she does for us as well. It was such a great day though. We had so many friends and family there so support us. I was especially grateful for the Bassetts for being there and bringing Isaac. I loved being able to get both my boys together. Isaac was very shy with me but it was just great to be able to see their family. I love spending time with them.

This weekend definitely helped me appreciate friends and family even more. It also helped me better  appreciate the gospel and the priesthood. I still can't believe the changes I've made in my life but I couldn't be happier. I am so blessed to also have a husband who has made similar changes in his life and I can't wait to continue our journey together as a family. I love my little family so much and couldn't have had a better weekend celebrating so many great things.

Here are a few pictures of Easton's blessing day. I will try to get a better photo of him in his tux.....

He was hungry so this is the only picture of him that I got.

Newborn Photos

I had wanted to get newborn photos of Easton but wasn't exactly sure if I would or not. I ended up having Kristina Okerlund do them. We struggled getting him to stay asleep. The longest he slept was for maybe 10 minutes so it took us a long time to get any shots. She ended up having to come back a second time because there were some photos I had wanted that we just couldn't get because he wouldn't cooperate. I absolutely loved how they turned out even though he was being such a pill. I thought I would share a few of my favorites......

First Road Trip & Our New Car

This past weekend we took Easton on his first road trip. We left Friday night and headed for Hurricane. I couldn't believe how well he traveled. I was quite worried that he would cry the entire way but he just slept. We stopped by Annette's house so she could see Easton because her and Travis were leaving for the weekend. After our stop there we headed over to Branden's and Chelsea's to spend the night.

We had huge plans for Saturday. We wanted to go to Sand Hollow and go cliff jumping but we had also wanted to take our car in and see what Stephen Wade would give us for trade on it. We really had no intentions of trading in our car that day (or at least I didn't for sure). But after spending hours at the dealership I finally agreed to get rid of my car. It was very hard on me but I knew that I couldn't drive it in the winter with Easton. So now I am driving a Ford Edge. I never ever thought I would say I drove a Ford because we are such a Chevrolet family but we got a good deal on it and Kincade and I liked the look. So here is our new car.......

Because we ended up spending such a long time at the dealership, we sadly didn't make it out to the lake. We were both pretty sad about that because we were excited to get out and do something fun together without Easton.

Sunday morning we headed off to Las Vegas for my cousin Taylor's mission farewell. I was once again worried about Easton and how well he would travel but he did amazing both ways. Shanelle sat in the back seat with him the entire way and he hardly made a peep both ways which was probably a good thing for all of us. I think we are so blessed to have such a good baby. I just hope he continues to be a good traveler (not that we even travel much).

Overall it was a good trip though. We were happy we could drive down and support Taylor. We were also so blessed that Cade's mom was in St. George at his sisters house because instead of crating Izzy all day while we were in Vegas, Cheryl got to puppy sit her. It sounds like they had their hands full with her. We are so grateful to have such amazing family around to help us out all the time. And it was a great weekend full of family time which is always nice.
