Happy Anniversary

I cant believe that I have been married for 4 whole years. Time goes by so fast.  I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing Man!  Bret is my best friend and I am looking forward to spending the rest of eternity with him.  

Cousins

Six Months Old

It is crazy how fast this baby is growing and changing!  He is the best baby ever, I am such a lucky Mom to have it so easy.  He weighs 17.3 pounds and is 27 inches long.  He can roll, scoot, and sit pretty well.  He loves to pull my hair, pinch, and squirm.  He is a very busy boy.  He now sleeps through the night.  He is very happy and is always making us smile.  He rarely cries. He makes tons of noises and squeals like a little girl.  He loves his Daddy and soaks up any attention that Bret gives him.  One of Bensons favorite things to do with Bret is to sing songs with him while he plays the guitar.  

Rash

Benson got a pretty bad rash that lasted five days.  It was on his arms and legs.  It would get better in one area and then worse in the other and kept changing.   I called the Dr. and he said to give him some benadryl which seemed to help.   Tuesday the day I was taking him to the dr. for his six month check up the rash disappeared.  I was happy it was gone but yet I wished the Dr. could have seen it to tell me what might have caused it.  I took the camera to show him the pictures but I don't think he has the best vision because he held the camera really far away from his face and said it could be bug bites.  I knew that was not the case.  Next time I will take him into the dr. right away.  Hopefully there will not be a next time though. 

7 peaks

While we were in Utah we got to go to 7 peaks with the Williams.  It was a lot of fun to play in the water and go down the slides.  I made it a goal to go on every slide which I did minus one that did not look like it was worth the wait.  My sidekick Dallen agreed that it was not all that great.  So I still think my mission was accomplished.

It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt

Four stitches

We had a grand trip to Lava Hot Springs.  We stayed in a little cottage house, played cards, went to the pool, played frisbee golf, went for walks, played ultimate frisbee, the boys went golfing, and floated the river, Camron flipped on the river and had to get stitches, we saw the geyser in Soda Springs along with the carbonated water hole, ate good food and enjoyed each others company.  I especially loved watching all my brothers playing with Benson!  They all will make great Dads. 

Hike

The leaders

The caboose

We made it!

All together (minus Bret and Jacob)

Saturday morning we went on a fun hike to Mary's Lake.  I was glad that it was a nice hike that did not require a lot of endurance.  It was very pretty at the top as well.  It was fun to talk and walk with everyone.  I wish Mississippi had some nice cool mountains to escape to on the hot days!  Benson loved being outside as well.  He fell asleep on the way back down.
