Utah Trip

Justen is doing his last away rotation in Illinois. Yay! Since I dreaded being alone with the two boys by myself for 4 weeks I decided to split the time and go to my mom's in Utah for 2 weeks. Best decision ever! My sweet mom was so kind to have us come and stay with her (she even drove there and back with us. Not so fun with a toddler.) We had a blast visiting lots of friends and family. The trip was well spent with tons of good memories.

Lucas's Blessing

Sunday, October 21st, was Lucas's blessing. We felt so blessed to have tons of support from our family and friends. We were early to church (imagine that) and we were able to snag the back row. Justen gave a beautiful blessing and Lucas was an angel the whole time. We attempted pictures afterwards, but Tanner was everywhere! By the following pictures you can tell it was a pain to get him to be still. We held a little brunch for our family afterwards. Everything tasted delicious and the weather was just beautiful. We ate on the back patio while the kids played in the yard. We are so grateful to have little Lucas in our family. He's an angel! A few of these pictures are from the Scottsdale RR park we went to the day before. Couldn't resist adding a few favorites.

Big Boys Don't Cry; Unless they're getting shots...

Today was Lucas' 2 month appt. That means shots. While we were there the Dr. said that Tan could get his flu shot too. Shots for both. There was lots of screaming, crying, and tears. Lukie went first. The nurse was super fast (good; better than those who drag it out). Luke got really red in the face and held his breath for like 15 seconds before he finally started screaming. While I was comforting him the nurse put Tanner on the table. He was so excited to be on the table because he'd been trying to get up there the whole time. Little did he know why he was up there. The nurse cleaned his leg and stabbed him real quick. Tan had a 5 second delayed reaction and then went ballistic. He was screaming, crying, throwing things, and was just down right angry. I was laughing; (like any good parent would do). Somehow, I convinced him to leave the room and head to the car. We grabbed a sucker on the way out and made it home just as nap time became a necessity. Both are sleeping and life is good! Hopefully they won't be cranky tonight! Here's a few of my recent favs; just because :)

2 Months Gone 2 Quickly

Lucas is 2 months today! These last few weeks have flown by. It seemed like the weeks before Luke's arrival took forever to pass, but time just flies by now. We are so lucky to have Lucas in our family. He's definitely a sweet addition to our family. He's dubbed the Mama's boy. He loves to smile for his mama and be held and cuddled by her. He's warming up to Dad (JK he loves Justen too). Although Lucas is most cautious of Tanner. He's always got his eyes on Tanner, watching him and waiting for Tanner to smoother him with "unnecessary" love. This means countless kisses a day and lots of touching Lukie's hands, feet, and face. Luke is making great strides. He usually sleeps 5-6 hours straight a night. We're working on more. He can roll from is stomach to his back; especially if he's upset and doesn't want to be on his tummy. He weighs around 12 pounds and his definitely getting chunky. Here's a few pictures of our sweet Lucas...
