Caves and Kidney Stones

On Saturday we decided to go hike up to the Timpanogous Cave. We were so excited to get out and be active. Little did we know how hard it would actually be! It took us about an hour or longer to hike up to the cave. It was a tough hike, but we did it! Kayson did so well walking up. We had him in our front carrier and he slept most of the way up. Once we got in the cave however he had a little bit of a harder time. He didn't enjoy being in the dark very much. The way back down he did well too, he even started laughing when I would walk and bounce him! It was a fun experience, and Im so glad we got to do it! Here are the pictures we took along the way!

Gettin all ready for the big hike!

(Yes, we put him in backwards, but we fixed it!)

I got tired pretty quick, so Todd took over Kayson and the backpack! What a stud!

Little man slept most of the way up even with a little rain fallin on him!

A view of how high we hiked! You can see the tiny road down there somewhere!

Kayson loved goin up he thought it was pretty easy haha!

We finally made it yippee!

We bundled Kayson up pretty good, the cave was so cold inside!

Inside the cave, we got to experience TOTAL darkness it was crazy! We couldn't even see our hand right infront of our face!

I just had to throw this in there. This is Kays after his bath all bundled up in his towel! He is so cute and funny in his bath and after!

On Sundy during church, I started having really bad pains in my left side and back. After about a half hour of tryin to ignore the pain I couldn't handle it anymore and went and pulled Todd out of class. After seein how much pain I was in he rushed me to the ER at LDS Hospital thinkin maybe my appendix was bursting. When we got there they put me on some morphine, did a CT Scan and discovered that I had a Kidney Stone in my left Kidney 6mm! They then gave me some pain meds and sent me home to pass it. I have never had a kidney stone before, and Ill tell you what, it hurt worse than bein in labor!! Ouch!

3 Months

On Sunday Kayson turned 3 months old! WOW I really can't believe it! The past few months have been so much fun, I love every single minute I get to be with Kays! Here are a few pictures of the past month.......

Kayson LOVES his hands! Any chance he gets he is trying to put his fists in his mouth. I have tried to get him to try just sucking on his thumb but he wont, it's gotta be the WHOLE thing!

I love his stunning blue eyes!
Daddy and Kays are makin the same face.
Like Father like Son!

Kays sure loves his naps.. Lately he has been opening his eyes while he is dead asleep. (fully open like he is staring at you) Its hilarious!

He likes to lay on his Hippo mat and play with his lion that dangles above him.

Soooo cute! I just can't get enough of this kid!

I went back to work 5/12 and was havin a hard time. So Todd surprised me when I got home he had Kayson sittin by himself (propped by pillows) with a onsie that said my heart belongs to mommy, balloons, a note that said "I missed you mommy" and candy bars! So sweet!

They day before I went back to work we went on a family outing.

Kayson got to go to his first movie at a theatre! We saw Wolverine. He did sooo good! Granted he slept the whole time!

We also went to Spaghetti Mamas where he also slept haha.

My work gave us a Bumbo chair and Kayson does really well in it! He loves sitting up!

Happy 3 Months little man!

Kayson's First Baseball Game

On May 5th Kayson went to his first Baseball game. Todd Surprised us with tickets to the Bees game, Front Row!! I was so so excited! I love going to baseball games, and was even more excited to take Kayson to his very first game! We sat down the first base line, right next to all the pitchers. So before the game Lackey from the L.A. Angels was warming up so we wanted to try and get Kays in a picture with him. We had so much fun, and Kayson enjoyed it as well (until he fell asleep)

We went with Matt, Julia and Covey and just had to take a picture with the two boys together. (We held them up to make them look like they were part of the action haha) What studly little guys!

He got alot of attention walking in. Everyone was commenting on how cute he was. I must say that made me very happy!

While holding Kayson up taking his picture with Lackey, one of the other pictures came over and gave him a baseball.

We had so much fun I hope we can go back over the years for many more games!

Oh and speaking of firsts.............Kayson slept in his own crib for the first time that night and did GREAT!! YAY!

Blessing Day

Today was Kayson's BIG day! He was blessed by his daddy! He looked so cute all dressed in white, just like an angel! He did such a great job during his blessing, I was so worried he was going to cry and we wouldn't be able to hear his blessing but he didn't cry at all! Todd gave him such an amazing blessing. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband that honors his preisthood so he can give these special blessings to our children. After church we had family over for lunch. It was so good to be around everyone, and everyone brought such yummy food!

Here is Kayson getting ready to go to church.
