This is for all my Twilight loving friends out there...

Go Team Edward!!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake for the Lee Reunion (my Dad's side of the family) and it was great! We stayed at this old little hotel place with a great grassy area to play on and close beach access. It was walking distance to the famous raspberry shake place to, a plus! We had wave runners there, and my Aunt brought her boat. The beach was a lot of fun. Unfortunately most of my pictures are of Kaden crying so I don't have any good ones of him. He had fun but I think he got too much sun and was delirious by the end of the day.

Any way, here is a bunch of pictures of our fun weekend!

Kaden fell asleep on our way there with a sandwich in hand

At the beach, Kaden and Jake in the raft.

We had to keep them from pretending the oars were swords. Too many smacks in the face.

Paycen!!

Happy 24!!

This year was my one and only year to turn 24 on the 24th!! Way cool...I know!! I love having my birthday in the summer. Because all your birthday parties end up being swimming parties!! Ty and I went up to Bear Lake for a family reunion this year and celebrated my birthday with everyone. The best part of the trip was the new phone Ty got for me. Big whoopdee-doo for all those out there that have had a cell phone for years, but this is my first one EVER!! I have wanted one for 7 years and now I have one!! Wahoo!!

So as we were driving to the lake I kept hearing this sound and Ty kept asking me "What is that noise?" I was like "um the radio..." I fidgeted with the volume and it wasn't the radio. Then the noise came again. I searched the car and found the phone hidden in the console. Ty had been calling my phone with his phone for the last 5 minutes trying to get me to find it. I was so surprised!! I didn't know I was getting a phone. I am sooo Happy!!

I got the cutest Happy Birthdays from my little boys!

Me taking a self portrait of me on my new phone!

This is it! The new phone. I call it the "Shawney Communicator". It slides open and there's a keyboard inside. Super cool!

Happy Half-Birthday

Paycen celebrated his half birthday on the 8th of July. My baby is growing up so fast. I can't believe he's 6 months old and half way to being ONE! Our celebration included a trip to the peds office and 3 shots in the legs. Great. Actually, Paycen did really good. He weighs 14 lbs 9 oz and is in the 5%. Poor little guy. I think Dr. Lofgran was going to say something about his weight when Paycen started showing off. He showed him how he coos and babbles non-stop, he scoots, squirms and army crawls to any toy of interest. In this case the crinkly paper and stethoscope. No more worries about my light weight, he is growing up just fine.

I didn't know that stranger anxiety started now. The look of panic on Paycen's face as the nurses and doctors came in was surprising. He clung to me for a little bit and then was okay. How do they know? I don't remember Kaden being stranger anxious. I think it's because he got sent to many sitter's homes while I taught gymnastics.

Any way. I just thought I would post a few pictures of what Paycen is doing now. What a crazy...I told him to stop but he wouldn't listen. He wiggles and moves so much. His objective is to get to Kaden wherever he is. As soon as he does Kaden yells "Mom! Paycen touching me." and then moves his little party to the other side of the room. Paycen then slowly makes his way over to Kaden again. I have two really cute boys!!!

Bed Time

What a lovely thing...Bed Time! When 8:30 comes around I am euphoric. Routine...brush teeth, jammies, Kaden screams, scriptures, prayers, Paycen screams, songs, I love you's...lights out. Phew!!

Paycen and Kaden in their jammies. Kaden saw that I was taking pictures of Paycen's cute tummy and had to join in by pulling up his shirt to. Kaden says, "We're matching Mommy".

Paycen's leg was touching Kaden. After the laughing Kaden looks at Paycen and says "Stop touching me, Pacey" Of course Paycen does it again and Kaden yells to me "Mom, Pacey's touching me!". I have a little tease on my hands {and a tattle tell}.
