Home Sweet Home!

Can you believe those cheeks? Too cute!!! We were finally on our way home from our trip. She was so good, she only got fussy one time on the trip. She was such a trooper, especially since we were in the car for about 12 hours on Saturday!!! What a good girl!!!!

Our look out crew!!

Kevin and Craig were really on the look out for some big bull elk!! We saw a few but nothing too fantastic!! At least this year we didn't see any try to kill any humans!!!! I was grateful for that!! The waterfalls are so pretty. We saw quite a few. The leaves around the Tetons were so bright. It looked like a painting. My pic didn't do it justice, the sun was too bright but it was so incredible. When we stopped to take the last picture of the Tetons there were 5 moose in the river. A big bull and 4 cows. It was awesome, they are my favorite!!!

Jorie's first vacation!!!

Well we went to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole this weekend. We usually go every year on the last weekend of September. We weren't planning on going this year because it would be hard with the baby and we always go with Jess and Mindi but he had surgery and couldn't go. Kevin called me on Friday afternoon and told me to get the bags packed and we were going. We went with Craig and Julie and we had so much fun!! We didn't see nearly as many animals as we usually do but everything is so pretty this time of year!! I love fall!!! I hope Kevin didn't wear Julie out!!! He can be a lot to take!! Julie hadn't been since she was little so we actually got to go to Old Faithful. I was glad because Kevin usually doesn't like to go there. It was awesome. Jorie was so good. I couldn't believe it!!! She is such a good baby!!!!!

Not so happy camper!!

Well the poor little fart has been having some issues lately!! Last week she had some blood in her poop so we took her into the doctor. They thought that she had a virus so they did some stool samples and they came back negative for anything funny. So they were thinking that the dairy products that I was eating were bothering her tummy so no more dairy for me!!! I am dying without my glass of milk for breakfast and avoiding butter is NOT easy. Eating out is a joke but it's a small price to pay!!! Anyway, we went back on Monday and they did an x-ray of her tummy. They thought it looked good and so they still said no dairy. Well today, they called back and said the radiologist thought maybe it looked funny so they wanted to do another. They did another stool sample, more blood, and another xray. Then they wanted to draw blood. I kinda panicked because Kevin does better at that than I do but I was brave and Jorie was brave. They ended up poking her 4 times in 2 hours. Twice in the arms, once in the foot and then in her hand. We were both a little upset by the time we left but Jorie was so good!! Everything came back normal so still no dairy. I'm so glad that's all it is. That is pretty minor and the doctor says she should grow out of it so in a couple of months I can try dairy again and see how she does. What a week!!!! She is 6 weeks old today. I can't believe how the time flies!!!! I just want to freeze it so she can't get any older!!! She is so fun and such a good baby!!! We are so lucky to have her!!!!!!

Dad's favorite

I can't believe how big she is getting!!! Last week at the doctor she weighed 11 pounds!!! She is such a funny girl. The white and pink outfit is Kevin's favorite. We had to take some pics of her in it because she is just about too big for it. He bought it for her in March. Before she was born he would to go in her room and hold it. He is so funny!!!

Sleeping Beauty!

Well we have a really hard life if you can't tell!!! This was a few weeks ago. We were going to Salt Lake to pick up Kevin's latest toy-a 4-wheeler- and this is how excited she was!! She loves to sleep in dad's lazy boy recliner. He shares it with her, she's pretty lucky, he doesn't share with anyone!!!

Diaper fiasco!!

The other night Kevin was in charge of the baby so I could finally get in the shower. I had just got undressed when he yelled for me to bring him a diaper. I put on my robe and went out to the family room. He had the baby laying on the couch and he took her diaper off. She apparently wasn't done pooping so he started to yell, "Quit puckering!!!". Of course she didn't and then she started peeing. It was all over the couch and all the way up his arm to his shoulder. It was so funny that I started laughing so hard that I started to pee too. I didn't make it to the bathroom quite in time and with only a bathrobe on, it wasn't so good. Poor Kevin, he just sat there and shook his head and said he couldn't take two women with bathroom issues!!! He was a pretty good sport about it but needless to say, he's a little gun shy with the diaper duty and he doesn't ask for me to bring him things anymore!!!!!! He's such a good sport!!! We love him so much. He always keeps us laughing!!!!
