Update....

This morning we noticed Kayson's absess getting alot worse. He was getting the runs and really fussy. I took him over to my mom's house where her and my sister Crystal watch him while we are at work. Well my mom called me at work sayin he really wasn't doin well. So Todd and I got off work and rushed over there. Todd and my dad gave him a blessing, then it was off to the Instacare Kidscare to have them look at it again. It was a different Dr. this time and he said it was alot worse than what we had originally thought and that he needed to drain it. AAAHHH So he told Todd and me to hold him down and without even numbing it at all he began to cut it open. I must say this was the WORST thing by far Todd and I have EVER been through!!! He was screaming beyond bloody murder and staring at us like why are you letting him do this to me!! It was AWFUL!!! The Dr. said about 4 teaspoons of puss came out, and it was the size of a golf ball!!!! He said that was worse than most adults!!! So even though I know it had to be done, I still feel so horrible about putting my son through that pain!!!

Here is a picture of his absess after being cut open, drained and packed with gauze!! He has had the runs alot today so the gauze sticking out got poop on it!

There was sooo much blood when he drained it. It filled up the pad below him and got all over his onsie.
Here is his new anti-biotic, the gauze we have to put over it, and we also have to wash it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and water in a seringe.

Kayson is such a trooper even after all he has been through today he still decided he wanted to get down and play. He rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time!! What a champ! He is deffinately stronger than I am!!

You did so good Kayson we love you!!

Poor Little Guy....

So on friday night up at the cabin we noticed a bump on Kayson's bum. When I changed his diaper he screamed so bad so I knew something wasn't right. Well monday night we took him into Kidscare to get it checked out. It turns out he has an absess on his toosh. Its pretty big and really painful. The Dr gave him some anti-biotics and told us to have a heating pad on it and bathe him in Epsom Salt to help draw out the infection. If it doesnt clear up on its own we have to take him in to get it drained!!! AAAHHHH she said that is the most painful thing they do there!!! They can numb the outside skin but not the inside where they would be packing it!! I really hope it clears on its own cuz I could not handle seein him in pain like that!!! Poor baby!!

4 MONTHS OLD!

Yesterday Kayson turned 4 months old!! Wow that went by too fast! He also had his 4 month check up yesterday. The Dr. said he is lookin really good! He now weighs 17.2 pounds and is 25 inches!! Ya, he is a solid boy!! He had to get two more shots as well and has not been feelin so well from them, poor little guy. Thank goodness for infant Tylenol!! He is now starting to eat Stage one foods, and loves them! He hated the rice cereal so we decided since his Dr. gave the go ahead on stage one foods we would skip the cereal. To celebrate we made cupcakes and he got to play in the frosting haha! Dont worry we didnt let him eat any of it! Here are a few pics of our little man!

Yikes he is big enough for a little high chair!

He didnt quite know what to think of the sticky frosting on his hand.


I call this his tatoo shirt, it says Mom 4 Ever! I love it! Its even a size 12 month shirt!

Yup he rolled over back to front. Well I guess not all the way, his arm was in his way. But he did roll over tummy to back!!!

Kayson loves to hang out with his buddy Covey! They do it all, from watchin their parents playin tennis (well trying) to movie nights!

I just cant get enough of this kid! He is the greatest thing ever!

Gettin ready for bed in his cute Rhino jammies!

He said "Hi" yesterday! We had just arrived at my parent's house yesterday morning and when I was takin him out of his seat my mom came over and said "Hi Kayson." Right as she said it he looked up at her and said "Hi" in a really excited voice!! Mistake or not I dont really care. My baby said hi and I was soooo excited!!!

Amazing!

As much as I would like to admit that I am not normally one to blog. Every now and again I get on here and pretend that I am Brittany so that I can update you all on what is going on in our lives. I am taking the time now, unashamed of my blogging ways and not disguising myself as Brittany because I want to Let everyone know how amazing my Wife is. I dont tell her nearly enough how grateful I am for her and the awesome person that she is. She is the most sympathetic, gracious, and beutiful girl I know. Recently Brittany has gone back to work, sacrificing so much for our family and most of all her time with our son. It has been so hard for her to do this, but she does it willingly and unselfishly for our family. Although she has sacrificed her time with our son Kayson, she makes up every moment missed the second she gets home, and Kayson is always so excited to see her and can never take his little blue eyes off of her. We are coming up on a year and a half of marriage and I am looking forward to the next eternity and a half to come. Thanks Britt!

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!
