Bear Lake

We're headed off to Bear Lake in northern Utah. Kenneth will be coming home on Sunday, but Danny and I are hanging out until next Friday. I'll post pictures and updates when I get back!

Danny's Stats & Weekend Wedding

Whoops! I forgot to put up Danny's stats. He had an appointment last Friday, and had the followings stats:

Weight - 9lbs 2 oz.
Height - 21.5 in

He is now in the 2nd percentile for both weight and height. I can't remember what his head circumference was, but he is in the 3rd percentile for that. The doctor was VERY surprised at how much he grew since the last appointment - almost 2 lbs!

At that same appointment Danny had to have 4 immunizations. One was oral, and 3 were administered in his legs. Poor Danny cried his head off! It was the first time I've seen actual tears from my little guy! It was so sad! He slept a lot afterward, and once it was night-time he was in a lot of pain and was screaming non-stop. So, we gave him some Infant Tylenol and I had to hold him until he fell asleep. That night he slept 14 hours with only 1 feeding! It was crazy!

On another note, we were able to attend a wedding on Saturday for Kenneth's cousin Spencer. It was a beautiful reception (I had to stay with Danny outside of the temple, but Kenneth was able to attend the sealing). Kenneth took his hand at taking some photos again to help build up his blog. Here are a few of my favorites thus far.



First and foremost, here is a picture with me, Danny and Stephanie. I was holding Danny while we were posing for a group picture at the wedding, and I looked down, and this is what I saw. Danny had taken hold of Stephanie's arm and was leaning against her. TOO CUTE! I asked Kenneth to get a quick shot in between our photos. I love it!

Bell's Canyon

Yesterday we went hiking with my sister Alisha up Bell's Canyon here in Salt Lake Valley. It was tons of fun, and it was BEAUTIFUL!! The leaves are starting to change colors in the canyon, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I almost forgot how much I love fall!

Good news - Danny FINALLY fits into his carrier!! The top of his head used to be able 5-6 in below the top flap, and now you can see his head poking out!! I can't believe how much he has grown! In fact, he has a doctor's appointment in just about 30 minutes, so I'll post his stats when I get back! For now, here are some photos from the hike!

Danny's Baby Blessing

Kenneth and I were able to spend a ton of time with family this Labor Day weekend. My mom was able to come out due to the holiday, and she really wanted to be here for Danny's blessing...so, we made a quick decision and got everything set up. I was so happy because lots of family members were able to be there even though it was last minute. Of my family members, the following were able to come: my Pa & Jayne, my mom and Ron, Nathan, Tytus, Alisha, Michael & Kim. Of Kenneth's family: Grandma Bardsley, UT Mom & UT Dad, Rachelle (w/ Aidan and Matty), Stephanie & Justin, and Steven & Britney. Our friends Danny & Heather, Mark & Debbie and Scott & Martha were also able to come.

Kenneth gave a beautiful blessing and afterwards we went to Michael and Kim's place for a little BBQ. It was fabulous! Here are some pictures!

Climbing in Big Cottonwood

So, this past weekend we went rockclimbing with Michael & Kim (and Analee who opted to watch from below). It was so fun! I love climbing! Danny came along and was great! He slept for most of the time, and Michael was nice enough to feed him his bottle while I was doing a climb. Good times!
