Eclipse Party

We had fun having our own little "Eclipse Party".  The kids didn't understand a whole lot, but they had fun playing outside.

Birthday's

Hunter and Brayden had their birthday's on the 5th and 6th of this month, we had a few people over and we roasted hot dogs on the fire then had cake (which I made from scratch, yes I am so proud of myself) and ice cream. Then the boys got way too much stuff but loved everything they got. It is still hard for me to believe that they are 1 and 2. I am just amazed that time flies so fast, I remember when I was younger the people who were older than me would always say how time goes by so fast but to me it went about the right speed and sometimes even a little slow. Now that I am older and have little kids everyday seems like I wake up the day speeds by and then its time for bed again. There are moments when I wish I could freeze time, mostly when my kids are doing something so incredibly cute that I want to stay in that moment forever. =) Anyway, this past week Hunter and Brayden had their well checks with their primary doctor and they are both doing good. It might have been something I said or something the Dr. felt but he decided to check the boys lead levels, Hunters was under the 3.3 that they like but Brayden's was 3.4. After the Dr. told me that he said that I shouldn't worry, I don't know about anyone else but when I learn that anything is higher than it should be I worry, and I want to find the cause so I can eliminate it. So far I haven't found what it is that might be causing his high level but I will find out! =)They are going to check his levels again when he goes in for is 15 month appointment. He seems to be doing fine he tries to say words like he should be at his age and he doesn't seem to have any pain or anything but I still worry. Hunter had is check up with the Cardiologist as well and everything was good. The last time he had an echo, which was 9 months ago, his mitral valve was narrow, but this time the Dr. said it had opened up a little bit which is good. He is doing so good he's constantly running around jumping on things, pretty much acting like a normal two year old. On Saturday we went hiking with Kris' family up to Doughnut Falls, Hunter and Madi pretty much walked the whole way up, I carried Brayden, I was so proud of them. I think they had a blast. Yesterday was a wonderful mother's day. Madi made me a key chain in primary and some hand/foot prints in preschool, I loved them she did such a wonderful job, Hunter made me a flower in primary which was wonderful and Kris got me a massage which I can't wait to use. Kris is doing good still working at Zion's which is wonderful and right now we are just enjoying this summer off from school. I'm hoping we go camping a lot but I guess we will have to see. I plan on spending most of the time outside with the kids where they can run around and act like wild animals which they love to do. =)
