Neglect

I have neglected my blog for a long time now. My excuse is that my home computer is a mess. Justis went online to look for cheats for Guitar Hero III...and wa la...viruses. Lots of then too. In the meantime we have been pretty busy. Logan & I went through the temple and were sealed (it was totally amazing). We are alos in the process of buying a house. I will have to take a picture of it and post it. We should be able to move in some time in the end of June. We are all so excited...it is time. We have been playing a little and working a lot and the boys last day of school is today. Hopefully Logan and I can fix the computer this weekend and I can get back to posting the events of our life.

Blessing

We blessed Jace on Sunday. He was perfect, looked so sweet and slept right through the blessing. Logan did such a good job (cried right through it). Afterwards we came back to the house and had lunch with some of the fam. It was a good day.

Easter Weekend

We had fun on Easter weekend. We colored eggs, went out west for Logan's family's easter campout, and had our own easter candy hunt at home. The weather was nice for March (which is still way too cold for me).

I took Jace to his 2 month check-up on Monday the 17. He weighed 11 lb 2 oz and was 22 in long. So he is growing like crazy. He fell into the 50th percentile for everything; head, weight, and length. He also had to get his shots, which he didn't have a great reaction to. He acted like he didn't feel good for a couple days. I'm so glad he is feeling better. He is such a happy baby. He has started to smile and goo so much, I could just play with him all day.

We of course had to go to the beach while we were in San Diego. So at the end of our last day there we headed to the beach. As you can see we were the only ones there. It was so cold and windy that of course the only people crazy enough to go to the beach would be tourists needing to say they went to the beach. Even though it was terribly cold and windy it was so beautiful. There is nothing like the ocean...it's so magnificent. The boys collected a bag of sea shells and sand to bring back to Utah, and they got there feet a little wet.

Day 4 was SeaWorld. We had fun, especially watching the shows. But my very favorite part of SeaWorld was the Budweiser horses (even though I didn't take any pictures).

Legoland was day three for us. It was so cool to see all the things they have built out of lego's. The rides were a little immature so probably better for younger kids but it was still very awesome. The weather wasn't the greatest though. While we were in Anaheim it was okay but by the time we headed down to San Diego a storm started to roll in and it got cold and windy. Just my luck, San Diego is beautiful 'almost' all the time but I go when it's cold, windy and rainy.

Oh my....it's Hopper from Bug's Life. Oh and Logan is trying to feed him our baby.

Here we are at California Adventure. We were standing next to this huge painting of the rest of the street (which kind of tripped us out). We had so much fun in California, it is so beautiful there. I haven't been to Disneyland for like 24 years (gosh that makes me feel old) and I didn't really remember much. Everything is so perfect, the characters, the flowers the rides. I guess it is the happiest place on earth... that is until you figure out how much everything costs you.

As of yesterday, Jace is 7 weeks old. He is starting to smile a lot more and he is so much fun. It is so nice when they start to show you a glimpse of their personality. He goo's now and again but you can tell that he is on the brink of just telling stories. I love being home with my baby and I am so dreading having to go back to work.

Jace has had a rash on his face and it started to spread to his neck and chest so I took him to the doctor today. Doc thinks that it is just inflamed sensitive skin and gave us a anti-inflamatory cream. They did weigh him and he weighed in at 10 lb 11 oz (with clothes and diaper on). He is growing so fast. I will post some new pics and maybe a video clip (maybe we can get his smiles on video) this week so keep checking in. We are going to California next week to go to Disneyland, Seaworld, and Legoland...so when we get back we will have tons of family pictures to post.

Here is my sweet baby boy after a bath. He is always so cute after his bath. These are from a couple weeks ago but I thought they were worth posting.

Today (February 12) Jace is four weeks old. WOW how time flies! Even though he doesn't do much I have had so much fun with him. He is so sweet...if only I could capture his sweetness in a bottle and save it for later.

I'm not absolutely positive but I think he smiled real smiles at me today. Some might say it is still 'gas' but I think he was really smiling at me. This is where it gets fun.
