Late night to early morning

Thursday night was A very long night for me and Rick. I had a four hour drive to pick up my brother, Deaven from Rawlins. I had planned on leaving at 7:00pm but Rick ended up working until 6:30. I didn't end up leaving till 8:15pm.

Rick was a little worried to send me off by myself, but could not come with me because he had to work the next day and I was not to be home until around 7:00am.

I was able to stay awake eating munchies and singin at the top of my lungs to the music. Lex was good all the way, He fell asleep shortly after we left and stayed asleep till about fifteen minutes until we arrived.

I had to go to the restroom but was not able to find a gas station that was open at 12:00 in the morning. I was tempted to go behind one of the stations but quickly decided against it and went to were I was to meet Deaven.

I was somewhat scared by all the people wondering the streets that looked like they were up to no good. There were police cars driving around all over the town, were I was, I saw five within ten minutes.

Having them close by gave me some peace, if anything should happen. I locked the doors, laid back as far as I could with Lex right beside me, he was restless, keeping me up for another half hour leaving me with an hour to sleep.

All of a sudden waking up with a start from the knock on the window. I turned around to find a dark figure standing by the car. My eye's came into focus and there stood Deaven, relief came over me and I unlocked the doors for him to get in.

The drive home was the easies. We talked all the way home, giving me a second wind. and just as we planned we arrived just before 7:00am. We said farwell to Rick and then both conked out till 1:00pm

it has taken a few days to feel back to normal. But I can finally say I am there.

Camping in the mountains

We went on a camping trip with our ward to the Big Horn Mountains. On Friday we met at our church house and got all our stuff loaded into Wes's Jeep. We left around 4:30pm and headed north into the mountains. It was a beautiful canyon drive with pine trees on both sides covering the mountains with a thick pine forest. The road switched back and forth all the way up the side of the mountain giving us a wonderful view extending from the foot of the mountain outward until it dissolved into the horizon. As we turned onto the back road leading to the camp sight we saw a bunch of wildlife and I snapped a few photos of some deer.





I was tired of driving by the time we arrived at the camp sight. All I wanted to do was get out and stretch. It was a beautiful spot with little white and purple flowers all over the ground and there was a pit already dug out for a fire. All we had to do was put up Wes's tent and get a fire ready so we could cook our tin foil dinners.



Lex was enjoying himself, he was looking at everything especially the fire. This was his first camping trip out in the wild.





We all stayed up late chit-chatting and having a blast. However, when 11:00 rolled around Pres. Carmen and Rick headed off to bed (with Lex soon to follow) while the rest of us lingered around the camp fire. We weren't out long when all of a sudden it started raining on us. We all said our "Good Nights!" and swiftly made off to our tents. The rain lasted just long enough for us all to make it to our tents and get settled and then we didn't get another drop for as long as we were camping. but I could not go to sleep for another hour and neither could Wes so we ended up talking for another hour.

Lex was not to excited to sleep in a strange place, he kept waking up and whining through out the morning so I would give him his binky and then he would go back to sleep and then a little while longer and he would wake up again, it was hard because I didn't want him to disturb the sleep of everyone else. By 7:00am I was exhausted and Rick was getting up so I gave lex to him because he was awake also and I was able to lay their and get a little more rested.

As I was laying in bed, someone called out "look a moose". I looked out of the tent and there it was passing by our tent. I wanted to get a picture, but remembered I had put the camra in the jeep.

We ate some dutch oven breakfast burritos for breakfast and they were good! A little later we went for a hike to see Porcupine falls. It was down a steep trail that was somewhat slippery. I had Lex in a sling and was able to make it down safely, though it felt like forever till we got to the bottom where we beheld the beautiful falls.




We had a blast and climbed all over the rocks, did some fishing and I took plenty of pictures. Seth and Wes were crazy enough to jump off the rocks into the water and found out that it was ice cold water. they had a fun time warming back up after that experience. The hike back up the mountain was the hardest at least for me, I am not as in good a shape as I would have liked but it ended up being shorter than I had thought. We cooked up some lunch, Wes and a couple others caught some fish so we cooked those in the fire as well and had a delicious meal. Cleaned up camp and headed home. I tell you what, I was exhausted and fell into bed that night.

Rick has been working with lex for some time now to get him to stand on his own and he finally did it!!!





I had just cut up a mango and decided to let Lex suck on the seed. He was so darn quit I had to get some pictures

Quick catch up

well I haven't been on my blog to update for a week now, I guess it's because I have been busy.

We went on a walk the 9Th in Sheridan down main street to look at all the new sculptures, I love the giraffe it is my favorite.

Some of the sculptures are really neat and some we just had to wonder how they can call it art, but we mostly got pictures of the ones we like and some that we didn't, just to have some verity.
We also thought it would be fun to show everyone were we go to hang out or enjoy a date.

I don't have pictures but I thought I would add that lex in now rolling over on his own and he also is starting to sit up all by himself, he doesn't last to long but he is getting there.

We also went to the fair this last weekend and had a blast, Lex was looking around at everything going on, as we stood in line for the rides he would look at the people riding them and wonder what they were all screaming for. Seth, and a girl from our ward, Rachel went with us. So Rick and I got to go on the rides together and they would watch lex and then we would trade off. I went on two rides and was planning on going on a third but for the fact that the second one made me sick and I ended up throwing up, and didn't feel well the rest of the night so Rick took me home and we watched a movie before going to bed.

Since then I have been working on my jean blankets trying to get them done as quickly as I can, but with lex it doesn't seem like I am able to do so very quickly. But I also am enjoying every moment with him watching him grow up so quickly, he seems to get bigger every day! He finally has found his toes and I got some Pictures.

Last Night

I laid lex down to go to sleep for the night and when I went to check on him this is the way I found him. Isn't that sweet!!!

Visit to Logan

We went home to see our families this last weekend, it was a lot of fun! We drove to Logan Thursday, leaving at 2:00pm and we arrived at the Macdonald family at 10:00pm.
Lex was so good during the drive it made it really easy to handle the long trip. We got to see some fireworks as we went threw Logan, and we rolled into Newton we found we had another surprise waiting for us; A little home away from home! Our mother Tammy and Sister Qessa had set up a tent, and put a mattress all made up, and a bed of blankets for Lex, a rocking chair in the corner, and just outside a table with a lamp. We had a good night sleep and the next day we went to our family Reunion in Hyrum. That night we went to "Get Smart" with Kareena, Chalyce, an Marqessa; it is so funny!!!
Saturday we spent with the Jorgensen's we took Lex swimming for the first time, at Glendale lake, it was such a hot day we thought it would be fun, he didn't mind it but the water was a little cold and so he didn't last very long.

We then went back home and had a cookout. My mom made her marinated grilled chicken. Mmmmmmmm!!! before bed we played "the celestial companion" game, the one we got for our wedding and hadn't played till now, it was a lot of fun. We learned some things we didn't know about my parents.


we ended up leaving Sunday and got home around 1:00am we were ready to fall into bed, and that's what we did.

Caiden wore this

This was my brothers outfit when he was a baby. Lex looks good in it!

Finally asleep

Lex has been so fussy the last two days and he is constantly wanting to have something in his mouth, all I can figure is that he has some teeth bothering him and we shall see if they come threw this time or not.
I have not had a moment while he is awake to get anything done because he wants to be held all the time. But I have been able to at least keep up on the house.
