Superman Swaddle Sleep

While Shaileen was changing Jax's diaper last night he struck this pose. We thought he looked just like superman with his burp rag looking like a cape and in the superman pose. Such a little stud.

 

Since Jax was born we have put him to sleep being swaddled. We want to get him to be used to not being swaddled so we are going to take one arm out at a time and hopefully soon be able to put him to sleep not being swaddled. He has been such a great sleeper. He usually sleeps at least 8 hours but 2 nights ago he slept 11 hours. Jax just loves his sleep. He always wakes up so happy and full of smiles. I just hope that he keeps it up and sleeps good always. Wish us luck changing where he is not swaddled.

Craft Night and Football With Some of Our Best Friends!!

Last night two of our best friends came over last night to hang out!!

 We love it when Brady and Lauren come over with their two precious little girls! We had so much fun!! We started the night by eating some yummy dinner together and then we let little miss Olivia go out to the garden to pick pumpkins for the family... she had a blast! 

We then went downstairs and started crafting away!! I painted a cute frame to go in my living room and Lauren is making the word HOME and the "O" 

is interchangeable every month with a cute holiday item! 

Brady and Kurt sat and watched the Utah vs USC game and kept the 

girls busy for us! What great guys!! 

Kurt is going to be the best daddy EVER one day... you can just see it in this picture. He sat and read book after book after book with sweet little Olivia. 

Pretty much the sweetest thing I have ever seen! 

Don't ask me why or what made her think of it but Lauren decided it would be AWESOME if we painted on mustaches!! They turned out pretty epic if I do say so myself!! That's right... when we get together it gets a little crazy!! LOL

I came upstairs to find this cuteness!! Lauren, Brady, and miss Olivia had a little fun with the IPad!! Turned out pretty cute!! 

Here is our finished products!! Lauren's above and mine below! They turned out great I think!! Hard work, Fun, and time with friends ALWAYS pays off!!

I just want to say that through all of the CRAP Kurt and I have been through in the last few months we are sure grateful for our amazing friends!! We are always having people come by and calling us just to check on how we are doing. We are so blessed with some of the best friends in the world! 

Weddings, Temple, Baseball, Heartbeats, and Fighting Oh My!

This past Friday night Shaileens cousin got married so we traveled down to Talons Cove Golf Club in Saratoga Springs. It is such a beautiful place and we had a great time. We are so happy for them.

Told ya it was beautiful, but not as beautiful as my wife!

Early Friday morning we had the opportunity to go to the Jordan River Temple because Tristen (Shaileen's Sister) was going through for herself for the first time. It was a very special time for her but it also meant a lot for me as well. I have been to the temple may times but I don't think any time has hit me as much as it did Saturday morning. I think it is an incredible place where we can go and get inspiration whenever we need it.

Later that night some of our friends got several tickets to the Salt Lake Bees game and were kind enough to invite us. We showed up early and there was a BBQ with some excellent food. We loved our seats being able to sit on the first base side gave us a great view of the field. Thanks Megan and Ryan for inviting us!

 Monday we got off about 3 hours early because "J" had a Dr's appointment. The picture below is us driving to the appointment. We are so thankful for J and her kindness like we always say. We have the best relationship with her and look forward to continuing it forever! The Dr's appointment went perfect and baby is doing great. We asked the Dr how much he estimates that the baby weighs and he estimated about 7 to 7 1/2 lbs and could grow another 1/2 pound this week. We are excited to see how big and how long he really is. It is crazy to think that these 3 months since J contacted us and we only have 6 days left until we get to meet him. With it getting closer we have been so tired because we have been so busy but we both have  had a very hard time sleeping because we are so excited and want to make sure we have everything ready. It is just getting to darn close!

This is the video of the heart beat.

Since MTuesday was Pioneer day Questar gave it to us as a vacation day. So we slept in until baout 8:30 if I remember right. I then go tup and did some much needed yard work and Shaileen was the best and cleaned up the house. Later we ran to some stores and then Kimberly and Jason invited us to their house to play some games. Usually we play board games but for some reason Jason pulled out the Xbox and we played MMA fighting and golf. Shaileen claims to have never played video games before but no one believes here because she beat everyone at the fighting game. she beat everyone litterally at least twice. I thikn that is why we decided to play golf quickly after that severe beating. you can see tihe video below of how much Shaileen enjoyed it.

Last night Shaileens mother and Greg invitied us to go see the Dark Knitght Rises.  It was a really good show. I was pretty skeptical because I am not usually into superhero movies but I really liked this one and Shaileen loved it too. It has been a crazy weekend/week and we are excited to get the rest of this week over with.

Magic Mania

Lately while at work when it is slow I have been learning magic off of YouTube. Not sure if i should be proud of it but I do! Carlye was over for a little bit today so I showed her a pretty cool card trick. She loved it and wants to learn tricks too. After Shaileen and Carlye were showing off their cool mustaches!
