4 Months

On June 20th Noah turned 4 months old! Time has really flown by. I can't believe how fast he's growing. At 4 months he's as cute as ever. Noah is literally the happiest baby in the world. . . he does have his moments, but 90% of the time he's smiles and girgles. He loves playing with and eating his feet. He's rolled over about a dozen times over the past couple of weeks, but hasn't quite mastered it yet. Noah is very alert, curious, and cuddly. I love his little personality already.

Rushton Reunion - Part 2 Activities

We had some fun activities. One of the nights was a kids dress up night. The girls were all wearing super cute princess outfits and the boys had Super Hero and cowboy outfits. They had so much fun. . . except for maybe Noah, he was confused by it all:)
One of the afternoons we went bicycling on these cool things. Our legs were a little tired, but it was fun. Of course, being on Bear Lake, we did actually get out in the water too. We rented 2 Jet Ski's, a canoe, a paddle bike, and a paddle boat as a group for a couple of hours and just took turns on everything. That was my favorite activity. Hyrum loved throwing sand and rocks in the water, but when we finally convinced him to get on the canoe he had a really hard time getting off! Yes, Brett did let him paddle the canoe. . . and yes, he had to fish it out of the water a couple of times.

Bear Lake Rushton Reunion - Part 1

My family all rented a big house to live in for the three day extravaganza. It was really fun being all together. We had different activities to do every day, but for the most part it was a relaxing, do-what-you-want kind of time. Although every night we did have a family night all together from 'Grandma and Grandpa.' We realized that there were no plugs in any of the tubs, so Noah and Troy filled the sinks. Bear Lake was so beautiful!!! It was great being outdoors. Hyrum LOVED the wide open space.

The Boys Are Back in Town

Ok, I have at least 6 posts I need to do before it backs up to much, so in the next couple of days be prepared for a plethera. The first Rushton Reunion from my Mom and Dad was held last week and in preparation for that we had some company. My sister Michelle, her husband Scott, and their baby Troy that's just a month younger than Noah. We had a lot of fun with them here. Michelle and I were working on projects like crazy, Scott got to go golfing like crazy, and the boys had crazy fun.Once Mom and Dad got into town they of course had to show Hyrum how to really eat a watermelon (and yes, he did eat ALL of that plus some dinner):

Things I love. . . and just things

LOVE:Chocalate Milkshake mustache. Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot!
Noah found his feet!!! Yay for homemade entertainment!In this house you've got to work for your dinner, boy:). I taught Hyrum how to use the vacuum hose to suck up his crumbs. He loved the magic of it all!
Hyrum is helping me cut the strawberries for jam. He's such a great helper.

Stuff:
Hyrum hit Noah in the head with something and so I immediately put an ice pack on him so that we wouldn't see the shape of the toy imprinted on his head. It really wasn't that bad, but he looked cute with his little turban on.
No wise cracks. . . really. Hyrum pulled his diaper down and wanted to go play outside like this. You can see why we wouldnt' let him.

Day 4? and beyond

Yes, there are no pictures on this post, but day 4 did really happen. I'll be adding them once I can confiscate some from my in-laws. There are no pictures because that was my 'blind day'. My right eye started bothering me Friday night and by Saturday morning i could barely open it. My eye looked really sci-fi red-creepy (ya, I'm really glad we have no picture evidence of that one). The best way I could think to describe the feeling was acid tears, sandpaper eyelids, and burning light. Basically, it wasn't a very fun day. Brett took Hyrum out to play at Disneyland and California Adventures all day, which I was very grateful for. They had a lot of fun. I layed in the dark hotel room, eyes shut and wearing a patch, with Noah. The trip through the airport and back home was an adventure. I was able to open my left eye every few seconds to make sure I was following the yellow shirt of Bretts. Luckily, I couldn't see the people giving me funny looks. I guess not everyone walks around with hat, sunglasses with a patch underneath, and a baby in their arms around the airport and on the plane everyday:) I got into an Opthemologist on Monday and he found that I have a Cornial Ulsur. So, I've been meeting with the Doc and doing a very regimented and intense eye drop routine for the past week. My eye sight is almost completely back and I'll hopefully be able to be normal by next Wednesday. As for the other boys they've all been sick with colds. I think Hyrum got the worst of it, or at least he's reacting the worst. But, through all the tests he's had, we know that he doesn't have strep, an ear infection, or swine flew. Really, life is good it was just one crazy week.

Day 3

Today started with a character breakfast. It was fun to see Lilo, Stitch, Goofy, and Minnie. Hyrum especially liked Lilo and learning hula with her.
When they think no one is watching. . .
Then we got to LegoLand and Hyrum fell in love with this park because of the water. There were several water areas that he LOVED playing in. He and his cousin Megan were having tons of fun in these water-filled shapes
This was one of the older kids favorite (all the parents) it was a race in firetrucks and using pretend firehoses on a 'burning' building.
