End of Summer Overload

Summer just came and went as fast as ever.  We have lived outside and will be so sad when we have to live outside in the freezing.

Me and Dal had a quick Vegas weekend with Lawson and Tressa at the end of summer.  It was so nice to lay out, eat, and shop while Brew played in Delta with his Ginny and Grandpa.

I found this 4 wheeler for four bucks at a yard sale one day and it was the greatest purchase of my life. Brew drives this thing inside and outside all freaking day.  He is so obsessed with all things "vehicle" and it makes his whole life.

Morning cartoons in my bed.  He loves to be cozy and cheese for pictures. He also says "I see" after every pic I take so I have to show him his cheese.

How we get through shopping/life...Pringles.  

Baby girl coming in March! I started out not sick at all and from about week 9 til now I get randomly sick someday. I'm hoping that ends soon but I'm not planning on it.

He has learned to climb trees and he gets to a part that he can sit and he says, "mom, I awesome" and claps for himself.

Doughnuts and holes in socks.

His cheese and "go Cougars"

Another eating pic.  He has corn multiple times a week and it always has to be on the cob. He loves it.

Fishing/throwing rocks in Grantsville. He loves this place.

Cheese and chips.  Right after this pic he dumped the entire bag on the floor and started licking the bag.  Like whose child is this?

Morning shenanigans.

Backyard hangout.

So we bought this bike trailer and as you can see he HATES it.  He says "done" through the entire ride.  After the screaming I decided to get in with him to hold him while Dal biked us around the neighborhood and we both thought that was the life ha not so much Dal.

More unhealthy food.

He loves to "sleep" back here like he's "pamping" (we've never camped in the back of this car so I have no idea where he got that idea.  But this keeps him busy for a good 15 min.

Brew and Crew.

He has done this since he was sooo little.  He has to lay by his vehicles while he drives them so he can check out the wheels.

He loves big kid beds. We really need to set his up.

Brew Crew again.

I really need to update on all the funny things Brew does and says but that will have to be for another night haha.

The Blanding Curse

I honestly feel cursed with Brew whenever we go to Blanding, but especially when I go without Dallan.  Brewer always gets sick or has some major issue and makes it miserable.  Well I guess it's not too miserable or I would quit going, but it makes usually half of the trip pretty sucky. 

This trip was no different.  We planned to go down for 2 weeks while Sagan, Nate, and Wake were in town, and Dal was just going to come for part of it.  Brew was so whiny the first week but I didn't think too much of it because he is usually at wat when we're out of town.  Well dal got there for he weekend and we headed straight to lake Powell with his family on the houseboat.  We got there for dinner and Brew had so much fun playing in the water and on the beach.  He went down for bed really easy and I thought we were home free.  Well about an hour later he woke up when we were getting into bed and I just thought we were too loud and woke him up. Well 6 hours went by of him screaming and not dozing off even once! We were tryin to keep him quiet so he wouldn't wake up everyone on the boat but that was basically impossible.  I was so mad and tired and we were out in the middle of the lake and couldn't go in until morning, so basically we were living in hell all night ha. 

Finally at about 4 am I said screw it and turned on the Lights in the houseboat and was just gonna let him play.  Right when I turned them on Brew showed me his finger and he had a HUGE blister on it. I knew he didn't burn himself so we had no idea what happened.  The swelling was down into his hand and the poor kid was in so much pain. At about 6 it was light enough for Rob to drive us back to Halls Crossing so we could get back to Blanding.  We ended up taking him in and they drained it twice and it was FULL of infection.  The second he started draining it Brew calmed down and I could tell he started feeling so much better. Poor kid. They numbed it and stuck a needle in it and the infection had so much pressure that it shot like 3 feet in the air, like almost to the ceiling, it was so gross. They think he had gotten a sliver in there earlier and either the lake water or just timing made it get super infected, so it was pretty sucky timing.

This was after Jayne Holiday had numbed it for him.

Lots of bandage for one finger infection ha

He found aunt Nayna at the hospital and she treated him like a king. He freaked out when she had to go back and do dialysis for a sec. He loves that Nayna.

After all this craziness we had the best week.  It was sooo fun having us all together again for once. Simone came down for awhile and so her and Sagan got to see each other again for the first time since Simone's mission.  All 5 grandkids played so good and it seriously makes me sad that we can't see them all everyday.  Brew got so used to having everyone around so it was pretty sad when we came home.  It was the funnest thing meeting Wake for the first time in his 5 month life ha, he's the smiliest little dude ever and such a cute chunk. Austri is honestly the happiest, most chill baby and I wish all my kids would be exactly like her.  Aiker is the little cruising man and is just hilarious.  He says Brew and Aysia really well and it's just my favorite. Bry was SO nice to Brew and they played so good. She seriously is the sweetest little thing and told me the greatest stories, all beginning with, "Wong ago..." Haha.

It makes me so sad to not see hem all everyday but it makes me freaking excited  for Christmas!

Papa reading to Brew

All the kids love this piano 

Twinning with cousin Wake!

Aik lovin on Aus as always haha

This four whee got way too much use this trip, Brew is weirdly obsessed. Within seconds of waking up he'd ask for a ride.

Papas hat.  Mimi is in the kitchen in the background of all these pics, she seriously slaves her life away cooking for us the entire time we are there.

I can't leave out wake the wady haha this might be one of my all time favorite pics.

Playing at grams house is the best

The boys had some basketball game going on and we all played in a tetherball tournament the last Sunday we were there and I seriously haven't had that much fun in a long time.  Cheyna even broke her glasses during our game lol, it was intense.

Couldn't get wake to look

Or Aus lol

Dal and Gar

We als went to Bry's favorite place, the Dino muh-seum. She wanted to pose like this for her pic lol she kills me.

Little Brew update:

He is obsessed with counting to 10, but won't say 1.  He rushes through the whole thing so that he can say 10'really loud and get everyone to cheer for him haha.

He can do the entire alphabet but will skip different letters each time.  He rushes to get to Z too for his cheering.

Still working on hitting, he gets lots of time outs and when I get super mad and make him look at me while I tell him not to do something he will always interrupt me with, "mom....hi". Little stink.

He loves his balance bike, four wheelers, airplanes, trains football, baseball and tires still.

He loves to talk about all the people he knows. For some reason the past few days he has really taken a liking to Nate and loves to say hi Nate to anyone and everyone with a beard lol.

Things are either "cool" or "awesome" and he says them both way too much during the day.

When he's playing alone I'll catch him saying, "say zebra...zebra" "say dump truck....dump truck" ha I guess I quiz him too much.

He is talking all day everyday and says the funniest stuff.  I love this age.

Also I'm adding this into my journal blog because I don't think Cheyna will and I have been laughing about it all day and it needs documented. This morning while we were face timing she yelled at Bry and said, "bry, you know the rules, no making potions in the house!" Lol it was so serious like her potion making is just a normal occurrence. Oh the life of Bry.

4th of July 2015

Brew was in heaven on the 4th this year. We went to Delta since we have only been there once in the five years we've been married ha. Brew had so much fun with his cousins and playing like crazy til way too late every night.

He started off a little unsure about the parade but after the airplanes flew over he was stoked.

The twinners

So pumped about something.  Brew thought the game of the parade was, they throw us candy and we throw it back at them, so we made it out with zero candy haha but he had way too much fun chucking it back at the floats.

Watching George with his cousins Brogan and Haven.  These 3 are all born within 3 months of each other so it's pretty fun. Don't mind Brog's forehead, he got bit by something and is so swollen, poor kid.

We left Brew with Liz for a couple hours and went to the legendary Delta derby.

All the partying finally caught up with this boy on Sunday, he was exhausted.

Beginning of Summer 2015

I seriously can't believe it's June, i freaking love that it's summer but I'm sad it's gonna go by too fast and it'll be cold and winter again.  Brew is making sure we make the most of it though with multiple park visits and playing outside everyday.

Since I last blogged Brew has become obsessed with letters and the alphabet.  Like almost to a fault. He can recognize and say all his letters, his favorites are X and P for sure.  He used to call Y "yie" and it was my favorite but he figured out how to say it right the other day. He loves to point out letters at the store or on trucks that drive by and usually picks a "letter of the day" and carries that letter book around the majority of he day.

How's favorite shows are Super Why, Curious George and Mickey Mouse Road Rally. I find him cracking up at the most random part of these shows.

He one day decided that he wanted to talk and will pretty much say anything I tell him to during the day. He loves to talk about all the people he knows.  In the mornings he'll lay in his crib after he wakes up and pretty much recites all the words he knows, all his letters and will count to 3 ha it's pretty hilarious to listen to.  He talks all day and is pulling out new words on the daily.

He tells everyone hi constantly.  Everyone in our neighborhood gets told hi multiple times a day and henthinks it's so awesome when they wave and say hi back. 

He's still so obsessed with trucks, tractors and wheels.  He lays on the ground half the time while he drives his cars just so he can check out the wheels. 

Still big for his age, wearing 2t clothes and size 7 shoes.

He is still a little naughty sometimes but we are working on that ha.  For the most part he's really sweet and loves to sit on my lap and give me hugs. Sometimes he's a little too attached to me though, I can't leave him in nursery, so that means I'm like an honorary nursery worker...not my favorite ha.

He loves to play baseball and throw the football and do "touchdown".

His has been my favorite stage by far! He's my little best bud and I'm loving that he's figuring life out and being a real boy ha.

Dal "let me" mow the lawn for a sec and these two lazies had fun just chillin watching me. Brew loves his camping chair and will sit there longer than he'll sit anywhere else.

Brew watching Delta baseball with his boy cousins.  Seriously so cute.

Packing his Pringles wherever he goes. He's honestly obsessed.

Will wear his hat sometimes. I would be in so much heaven if he would wear one all the time.

Brew loves the chickens and four wheelers in Blanding.  We need to go more often so that he doesn't end up being a "city boy".  (Not that we live in a city, but close enough I guess ha)

Bry said that "We are the super readers and Brew is driving us to save the day" lol so funny.  They played so good this trip and it made it sooo much fun.

Waving hi to my grams Black

He has to "drive" Dal's truck at least once a day. Going around the block is like heaven to him, he loves this truck.

A quick family pic before church.  Let's be honest, church is basically me and Dal switching off chasing him around while he laughs his head off.

Shucking corn with dad. He was all about this task and was very serious about it.

Brew just plopped himself down in this flower bed in the backyard and gave this sweet little face. Like bipolar I'm telling ya.  Either the rowdiest or a little girly ha.

Cozying up with aunt Monay.

The Brew Crew with Oakley

He still loves this slide. Honestly the best little purchase.

Finally we get to go outdoor swimming! I think Brew thinks "swimming" means, play in the water for 10 min, then sit in a chair and eat all the food for the next ten. We are in and out the whole 2 hours.m he does love the water and loves to float on his back, jump off the side (even if I'm not ready) and go down slides.
