2 Months Old!


So Wyatt is 2 months old now--can you believe it?? I can't, it feels like I haven't had time to even breath the last little while.

He gained 2 full inches in the circumfrence of his head (he's going to be a smarty pants!) He is 22 3/4 inches long(50%) and weighs 10 lbs 14 oz(25%-he's tall & skinny like his daddy!). He is a pretty good baby and we are so glad that he is a part of our family.

Cherry Hill

Last night for family night we all went to Cherry Hill (minus Brad). The girls love this tradition that Grandma and Grandpa Spencer started about 3 years ago. They take us all to Cherry Hill and we get KFC for dinner and let the girls play. They LOVE it!!!!!!!!!! It takes very strong convincing to get them out of the water, especially Emma. My dad asked her if she was growing webbed hands and she looks at her hands and as if expecting there to be webs between her fingers she replies that it's just a hair! She just goes and goes and goes and goes, and then she slept until 11:00 this morning!!!! She was one tired chicky!

Maycee isn't as "into" the water as Emma but she is getting better, she loves to just do her own thing in the pool.


Emma on the other hand loves to jump in and be thrown in and tipped over and whatever else, as long as it's in the water!


Alyssa was so darling in her little swim suit and sun hat. Jaclyn and I had gone earlier to the Gateway looking for Wyatt swim stuff and found this darling hat at Baby Gap and while it's way too big for her now we couldn't pass it up(especially since it was only $5 on clearance!)


Wyatt did have his swim trunks on and loves the water too. He slept most of the afternoon though.

It was so much fun and the kids loved it! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!!!!

It has been CRAZY around here lately...

A week ago today Maycee ended up at Primary Children's because she was having problems breathing. She had woke up saying she didn't feel well and then went back to bed. When I checked on her I noticed that she was breathing really heavily so I watched her the rest of the afternoon, but then decided that it wasn't getting any better and before I spent the whole night making sure she was still breathing I took her to the doctor. When we got there they checked her oxygen saturation and it was VERY low and they couldn't hear any air movement in her lungs so they sent us to Primary's. We spent the next 5 1/2 hours in the ER at Primary's and then they finally admitted her to the RTU (rapid treatment unit) for overnight. The first night she dipped really low again and required oxygen so they decided to admit her to the medical unit for another night. All the while giving her breathing treatments every 2-4 hours. By Friday afternoon they decided that she was better enough to go home!!! That place is wonderful and it serves an amazing purpose for us here along the wasatch front, but I would rather not ever see the inside again! (unfortunately, it may be just the beginning of our trips there now!) And just in time for me to frantically clean my house and yard for Wyatt's baby blessing on Sunday. They actually diagnosed Maycee with Asthma. So I have to be 100% better at cleaning my house and keeping the dog away from her things and I have to wash everything in HOT water and she has to just have a close eye on her all the time because she won't tell me she can't breath, she just shruggs her shoulders when you ask her, that's my mayc!


We got everything ready and Wyatt was blessed in sacrament meeting on Sunday and everyone enjoyed the yummy food (thanks to mom for getting most of it ready! And Jaclyn for taking Emma and Wyatt for two days!) Wyatt was so handsome in his cute little tux!

What a party!

Wyatt and Alyssa, they were born two weeks apart

Swimming Lessons


I finally got the girls signed up for swim lessons! They have been asking and asking when they get to go. So this morning we made it to their first lesson at the rec center. Afterwards Maycee was so proud of herself, she could hardly wait to show me how she could swim. That is exactly what I wanted, she has fear of water and wouldn't go anywhere near it most of the time and while that fear is good to a certain extent I really wanted her to feel comfortable in water so hopefully mission accomplished! Emma is a little fish and once again, it took me 10 minutes to coax her out of the pool after they were through! She had to go around all the things and take the longest possible route through the pool, she LOVES the water and would live in it if she was let.

Happy 4th of July

It was our nations 233rd birthday! And we began celebrating with the children's bike parade in Centerville. Both the girls decorated their bikes and Jaclyn offered to walk with them along the parade route! Brad and I and my mom and Wyatt found a spot to cheer and wave as they went by. There was hundreds and hundreds of kids this year and it took a long time for the girls to finally reach us (they were towards the end), but they had fun and got their Popsicle's when they were done!




On Saturday, the 4th, we have a tradition of going to breakfast before the parade but since this year we have two rather small additions to our family we opted for making breakfast at Grandmas, complete with silly face pancakes(just like at IHOP). And the four grandkids were all decked out in their festive attire, can't get any cuter than that!! (but we aren't biased or anything!)



After breakfast we went down to the parade, and while the girls had fun getting all the candy, the parade seriously lacks good entries. There was one darling float by one of the Woods Cross stakes and that was it! But the girls had fun and that's what counts! And all the while Wyatt slept in his carrier, he's not much into the excitement yet.
