lasik

I've been so nervous to get lasik done since I watched Ben's.  It completely freaked me out.  But for two years now, Ben has been telling me to get it done, because he's so glad he did it.  

I finally had the guts to do it.  I was so nervous and I asked a few times for more vallium, but they wouldn't give in.  

 Right at this point when the Dr. was checking my eyes at the end of the surgery, he kept asking if I was ok or dead.  I couldn't even talk to him, I was still a little traumatized. 

This was a couple hours after surgery.  One of my eyes was red for a month or so... he had a hard time getting the suction on that eye because I kept squeezing my eye shut. He was probably so glad when he was done with me. 

I'm so glad I got it done and I can see right when I wake up, it's amazing!

Jett baby

We are so happy that we get to babysit Jett, we are all just so in love with him!  Isaac started calling him Jett baby, so now we all call him that.  He's such a sweetie, and we love having him around!

Vegas vacation

We headed down to Las Vegas for Archer's baby blessing.  We left early Friday morning and stayed until Sunday after church.  It's always so good to see Brent, Shelley, and boys!

 When we got there Friday night, we swam and ate pizza

 Saturday morning, we visited the outlet mall

 Later, we met up at the Ethel M. chocolate factory.  It wasn't quite as awesome as I had heard, but the kids liked walking around the cactus garden, and the tiny free chocolate they recieved.

 Isaac saw a cactus that looked like Mickey Mouse.  He was so excited.

 After the chocolate factory, my Dad took us out to eat at Excalibur.  

 My kids love the buffet.  They eat one non dessert food, then the rest of the time, they race back and forth between the table and the dessert bar.

 We went and played at the arcade downstairs 

 Abi and Hailey wanted to find a souvenier for their friends, so we walked to the hershery factory.

 We went back to Brent and Shelley's to hold baby Archie

 Saturday night, we ate leftover pizza in bed

 And on Sunday, the kids took turns holding Archie.  He is the sweetest baby!

 He's so handsome in his blessing outfit

 It was beautiful when we left Las Vegas.  The kids were all wearing shorts home.

Around Cedar City we hit the worst blizzard.  It was the worst thing we've ever driven through.  My parents were a little ahead of us, so we were constantly texting each other to make sure everyone was still alive.  We stopped to use the restroom and we looked ridiculous in our shorts and flip flops.  Ben is so sweet and carried the girls through the snow so they didn't get their feet wet.  It was a night to remember, we prayed the whole way home.  It didn't let up until we got to Layton.

Isaac is three!

This boy is just the best, he is so fun to have around!  

Some fun things about him:

He loves to talk about his friends.  He says he has big friends and little friends.  His big friends are, Lightning McQueen, Batman, and Mickey Mouse.  His little friends are, Noah, Ben, girl Sawyer, and Jacob.  He is always telling me to call his little friends to come over.

He loves baseball game.  He calls me his baseball coach, and he's always asking me to pitch the ball to him while he bats. 

He loves to ride bikes outside.  If he can ever see or hear anyone outside, he takes off.  He's a hard one to keep indoors.

He's obsessed with nursery and his nursery friends.  Which most of his little friends are his nursery friends.  During the rest hymn at church, he asks (thinking it's the closing hymn) if it's time to go to nursery yet.  The second sacrament is over, he runs to nursery.  He loves his leaders.

He loves to go to the elementary and see the kids.  He knows where all of their classrooms are, and loves to go and visit them.

 He asked for pancakes for his birthday breakfast

 The girls were dying to throw him a birthday party.  Abigail planned out some games and I bought some cupcakes and we had two friends over.  

 We had his grandparents come over that night for cake and icecream.  He picked out his planes cakes earlier in the day.  He was so excited about it!

We love our fun little boy!
