Cheney Family Reunion!!

Once again we had an amazing reunion with the Cheney Family! My parents did a great job preparing for all of the activities and making sure that we all had a fun time and we sure did! Here is what we did....
We did everything from swimming (with a new waterslide that was pretty amazing), snowcones, lifesize tetras, minute to win it games, hawaiian luau, deep fried night, ice cream cones, family pictures, crafts, washers, pinewood derby race, emergency prepareness (72hr kits), and had all the kids play together!! We had an amazing time and we are glad that we were able to spend the week with such an amazing family! We are so grateful to all be sealed together and to know that we are an eternal family!!

Crazy Boys!

Here are some pictures of the two boys! The only time we can get both boys in the picture seems to be when they are laying down! Hayden gets a little nervous when he is left sitting/laying next to Coleton, he never knows what could happen! They sure are cute though!
Cant wait to see what great friends they will be!!

Coleton Update!

Here is our crazy two year old! He sure fits the mold of a busy and active toddler! He finally got his last tooth last month!! For some reason his came in so late but we finally have them all and boy does he look cute with all of them!With fresh veggie coming to our house constantly because many of our neighbors have amazing gardens, Coleton is loving trying all the different kinds, corn on the cob is definately his favorite!
Coleton is a big book lover! Every night Brandon gived him the chance to pick out just one book to read before bed and here is how he looks when he is debating...
As still thinking...And we have to tell him to hurry so he says "which one!"And then after many warnings to hurry he finally chooses one! What an ordeal!Though, sometimes he is crazy and seems to be into everything hes not suppose to at the end of the day, i am so glad he is ours!!
(On the video, he opened the seal on the nesquick before eating handfuls!)

Hayden Update!

Hayden is now 5 months! He is getting to be much more active and loving to stand and jump! He really loves the jumper but often gets his head stuck between the straps while trying to suck on them so i have to come and rescue him!His once dark hair is growing to be much lighter but it is filling in!He is so wiggly that i can hardly get any pictures that are not blurry because he wont hold still!He is trying so hard to sit on his own and loves when he can play close to Coleton. Coleton is not such a big fan but its growing on him.Hayden loves to be held and hates being left alone! I can hardly leave him to get something for Coleton but we are working on that luckly he loves daddy so we are grateful when he is off work and hold him while watching the news!
We just love Hayden and are having so much fun watching him grow! It will be interesting to see how he does as we travel this next month because the stranger anxiety is definetly kicking in so hope everything turns out great!

Happy 4th of July!!

I love going to the towns fourth of july parade and activities! Since the 4th landed on Sunday we celebrated it on the 5th! This was the first year that we have been in Hurricane for the activites and we forgot what a small town it is! The parade lasted about ten minutes! It was short but cute! After the parade we went home for some breakfast, then came back to see some booths. We did not realize they dont have them in Hurricane. They had a few childrens cames that Coleton was not quite old enough for but they did have a potato gun that they shot candy out of and it rained down on the children waiting to pick it up. After coleton got a few peices of candy, we headed home a little disappointed! After the boys took naps we went looking for some fun activites. Accross the street from our house was the home run derby, t-ball play offs, free root beer and watermelon so we wentover and watched a few games. Then that night we watched the firework on our front yard because the shot them off at the baseball fields too. They were great!All in all it was a fun day that we were able to spend as a family!!

Comstock Reunion!

This year the Comstock family decided to go camping! With Brandons sister, Candice, in town we headed up to pine valley for a fun adventure with five kids. The weather was warm but wonderful! We camped by a little stream and the kids had a ton of fun playing together! We were a little worried to be camping in a tent with Hayden (who is five months) but he did great! He slept in the tent in his playpen and slept through the night! Coleton did great too. He had so much fun being out! We were so glad that everything went well. No one was hurt, everyone had fun, and we cant wait to go camping again!!

Potty Training!

Here we go! We have started the potty training process! After deciding to go ahead with this we filled up a treasure chest full of crackers, candy, and little toys. We started the day off with him sitting on his potty most of the day. He colored, watched movies, painted, ate meals, pretty much everything, and it worked great he got the hang of it and loves that he is able to pick out a treat from his treasure chest! The first week has gone great he is doing better than i ever expected but we will be heading on vacations in july so we will see how that goes! Wish us luck!
