Champers is finally settling in after visiting the vet and getting put on antibiotics.

The vet said she has a Bacterial Infection in her intestine.

She couldn't keep anything down for 36 hours or so... poor pup.

She is all better now and is tuckered out from watching everyone cook.

Tomorrow will be even better!

Tuckered Out

Our little guy had so much fun at the Aquarium that he fell asleep by the fire without being swaddled.

That is a first!

I love this guy.

Aquarium

Today we all went to the Aquarium here in South Jordan, Utah.

Brock loved the lights for the first 5 minutes and then was fast asleep.

But I loved to see the sights.

Abbygail and Gracie.

We found Nemo!

They had gorgeous fish to look at. It was beautiful!

They even had an area to touch sting rays.

They had taken the sting out of the rays...of course.

This is a picture of live jelly fish. What a great picture, hu?!!

They had a movie going on a boat that was informational.

Here is Abby and Gracie on the boat.

Me and my little napper!

Uncle Kevin.

He thinks he is super man.

Gracie.

Abbygail.

What is he doing??

I think it is time for food...

Thanksgiving Travel...

Thanksgiving travel...

We made it to Salt Lake City.

All the weather behind us.

We stayed in a hotel at Pocatello that allowed Champ to join us. It was a wonderful stay except for the people that were outside our door and Champ wanted to rip into them.

Wish we could have let her.

Brock did very well on the drive over.

As long as we are on his schedule, things went great!

You don't get anywhere fast with this little guy.

Brock is very intrigued by all the new faces and voices here in Utah!

He met his second cousin Lillian.

This is the first time Brock has ever seen someone his size.

He was in awe.

Brock and Lillian.

Brock has his dukes up. He is ready just in case.
He is used to being the only little one around, not sure if he wants to give that up.

Champ and Tater.
Way to behave.
Now Champ isn't feeling very good...what could that dog have eaten?
Hopefully the vet will find out.
Can't seem to stay away from the doctors!

Gracie doing a project.

Abbygail working on the computer.

More family to come in tomorrow.

Let the festivities begin!

2 Months

I know I am a bit behind this week, so sorry.

Brock had his two month checkup on Monday.
He weighed in at 12 lbs. 13 oz.

His head is in the 10th percentile.

His hight is in the 45th percentile.

His weight is in the 75th percentile.

We have a healthy baby boy!

Alexander Day

Alexander Day...

We have a book called

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

When I say I am having an Alexander Day, I am referring to this book.

The other day Brock started his day out the Alexander way and I bet he wanted to move to Australia too.

I read him this book.

Too bad his day did not turn around. Instead it rubbed off on me.

Then when we were both in tears and we both wanted to move to Australia...

I saw this...

And we both decided that home wasn't so bad after all.

Brock Ethan

More Pictures of our Little Guy! Enjoy!

Brock investigating himself in the mirror.

He is not quite sure about himself, but thinks his daddy is handsome.

Mommy and Brock bouncing on the cure all ball just before bedtime.

Brock ready for the big Bronco game.

Too bad they lost.

Can't win them all...I guess.

Happy Halloween

On All Hallows Eve...the kiddies were running wild!

We went through over 16 lbs of candy...

For Brock's 1st Halloween, he was blessed with two costumes...

Cute as a button Ladybug.

Thank you GREAT Aunt Donna!!

And a Giraffe.

Just before Brock's bedtime.

Lauren and Carl visited us on Halloween to see what kind of festivities happened out here...

This is Carl's first time holding such a small human...lucky Brock was in a cooperating mood ;)
