Today we went to the doctors for Haydens Four month checkup. He did really good today! He fussed a little when Dr. Thompson checked his ears but other than that he was pretty happy! Here are his starts!
We got Brandon a few little gift that he has been wanting...some candy for his office, some quarters for the candy machine at the high school, a water cooler (because every man need a water cooler) and a baster for grilling. 
Coleton was so excited to give them to Brandon. Its been so fun to see how Brandon is with the boys! He absolutely loves them and spending time with them. He is a great husband and dad and our boys are lucky to have him! Happy Fathers Day!
At least he knows how to keep my carpets from getting wet but i am definately getting rid of that tupperware! After reading up on how to potty train a little boy (which i have no idea) i decided to get the supplies needed to get started.
We bought a potty chair online which he thinks he got so that he could sit and watch TV like Hayden does. He absolutely loves it!
He sits there with Hayden and thinks he is such a cool kid which hopefully will make this an easier training experience!
So the plan now is to see if i can figure out how to do it. I know it will be a learning curve for both of us but i am not in much of a hurry so we can take our time! Wish us luck!
He has BIG blue eyes, that is normally the first thing everyone notices!
He is starting to show his cute little personality which is he is really smilie and happy!
From the day he was born we have tried to get him to take a pacifier instead of sucking on his hands but he definately loves his hands!
He will almost always have both hads at one time shoved in his mouth which means his hands are always slimy which is really gross for us! 
We just love this little guy. He is happy, healthy, and just so adorable!
James had been left outside and the bobcat that was used to move rock had run over him over and over again! He was not doing well but Coleton loves those trains so off i went to get it fixed. Its head fell off, smoke stack broke off, three wheel broke, two wheels bent, light busted off, and the metal frame was pretty scratched up. I figured it was a lost cause but here is how it is looking after some super glue!!
Before...
After!
The grass is green, the rocks are layed, and the weeds are gone! We had one of Brandons students that has a bobcat truck come and move all of the rock because it was just taking us to long to do it a barrell at a time! We raked it out but it helped alot! The deal was that after we finished the back yard we could get the BBQ supplies out so here is what Brandon was able to get after everything was done!
Now everything is done, we love what we have and feel so lucky to be here right now!
while Brandon was doing homework for school i was outside between naps and started laying the ground cover! I had to level alot of the gound and remove alot of the huge rocks that we dug out so it was quite the work out for me.
After getting most of it layed, i went in to take a break because Hayden had woken up from his nap, 
I looked out to find that the hurricane wind had undone most of my work!! i had to go and relay the cover all over again, the ground staples were just not holding it so we had to use alot of rocks to hold it down. By the end of the day, Brandon had done 12 hours of homework and i had spend all day with the kids and finishing the backyard, I can already tell that tomorrow i am going to be so sore but we are now one more week closer to finishing the backyard.
We had all of the rock delivered to the house the night before so it was ready to go (two delivery trucks worth). 
On Saturday morning after the Father/son campout Brandon and his dad went and found us some good looking trees to plant in the front and back of the house!
It was a really hot day, hiting in the 90's, so Coleton stayed cool by playing in the water, 
while the rest of us where hard at work! We had talked to a local company about coming an digging holes for the trees so we would not have to but they never showed so Brandon (and some help from some students) we dug our own holes! Brandons parents were so sweet to come and help, they layed the ground cover in the front while brandon loaded barrell fulls of rock down.
After working in the hot sun for hours we decided to call it a day. We had finished most of the front yard (ground cover layed, tree planted, and rock layed) along with planting the three trees in the backyard (which was much harder because we live on solid volcanic rock so we were pulling bolders out) which made for quite the long day. 
We have so much left to do but we are getting there slowly!
I got everything packed that they would need extra clothes, diapers, first aid kits, snacks, and blankets and off they went.. the camp site was about 20 min away and it was located on flat rock.
That night the ward provided dinner so they sat and talked while coleton made rock piles with other kids from his nursery class. He also liked gathering stray sticks and gave all of them to the first councilor in the bishopic. 
That night after always playing with in a 15 feet radious of brandon, he curled up and went to bed. Since the ground was all rock, they slept in the back of the truck. Brandon had told me before they left that if Coleton kept waking up that they would be coming back early so all night i waited for the phone to ring telling me that they would be coming home but Coleton slept great. 
The next morning they woke up had breakfast loaded up and came home. Coleton cried as they brought him in to the house because he wanted to go back "campin".It makes us much more confident that if we went camping as a family we would have alot of fun. They had great time together and Brandon said he did great, so till next year!
