Girls Weekend in DENVER!!

This past weekend, I had a "GIRLS GETAWAY" in Denver! I flew into Colorado on Thursday and met up with 2 of my best girlfriends Desiree and Micah! We have been best friends since 4th GRADE and try and get together at least once a year! It was just what I needed..... a weekend of laughing, sushi, mini bowling, samples at Whole Foods, shopping, 16th Street Mall and old friends! Thanks for the weekend girls.... Love you both!

Puppy LOVE!!!

We are excited for our newest family member to make her BLOG debut!! Her name is EMERY! Our good friends, the Jeff's (from "Emery" County) made Brayden's summer when they gave us one of their puppies! I definitely took some convincing but as soon as Jeremy told me she doesn't shed.... I was sold!! We are loving having her and Brayden has not left the backyard for days!!!

OUCH!!

Brayden had a rough day yesterday!! We were playing at the park with friends and Brayden was swinging.... he was in mid swing and decided to let go of the swing!!! He fell off of the swing backwards and hit his head and then scraped his lower back as he was falling! This was one of those moments that you would do ANYTHING has a mother to be able to rewind time and stop this from happening! Brayden is feeling a ton better this morning and has past all of the neurological checks I've been giving him for the past 24 hours! Sorry this is what you get having a paranoid nurse as a mom! I am starting to think we put the helmet on the wrong child... we love you Brayden!!

...... gotta love the chocolate milk mustache!!

"UNDER CONSTRUCTION"

While Jack is in the middle of wearing his helmet we thought we might as well make it "cute"! The "under construction" theme seems to fit our little guy perfect. Between the helmet being on 23 hours a day (unless Nicole is around and helps him cheat) and his braces on his lower legs, he has had a long summer! Jack has his second scan on Friday that will tell us if the helmet has helped shape his little forehead and for how much longer he has to wear it! Wish us luck that the past 6 weeks have not been a complete waste of time and the helmet has been helping!

Happy 24th of July!

I am still trying to get used to this "Utah Holiday" but any time Jeremy has a 5 day weekend and our family gets to spend time together.... I wont complain!! We spent our day up at Ft. Douglas celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Army Reserve. It was Brayden's dream come true.... army guys everywhere and more big blow up bounce houses and slides than he could count!!! We played for as long as little "Jackers" could stand being in the sun.
Happy 24th of July everyone!!

A NIGHT IN THE MOUTAINS!

Sunday night we went up in the mountains for some much needed fresh air! Our good friend Nicole came along for the ride! Nicole and I sat and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and snuggled Jack while Brayden and his dad went fishing! It was a perfect way to spend our Sunday!

JACKS new look!!

Our little Jack is sporting a new look these days!! As you can imagine, Jack HATED the helmet at first but has really gotten used to it! He has to wear it for 23 hours a day for 2 months! Jacks favorite friend Nicole has already started planning how to decorate it! We Love You Jackers!!!
