Busy Busy BUSY!

It seems strange to me that although I rarely leave the house these days I can still feel like I've been running all over the place! This last week or so has been pretty busy. There has been alot going on. Alot of events to attend. Don't get me wrong I love every chance I have to be out in the grown up world again but its pretty tricky with a 2 1/2 month old that likes to eat every 2 hours. But I have been trying make due. It has been interesting to say the least. Anyways we had the awesome privilege to go to the open house of the new Draper Temple. It is beautiful! Tray loved all the lights :)
It really was gorgeous. But midway through the tour Tray got super hungry and they don't really have any place to nurse so I ended up having to give him some formula. Not good. He was up ALL night crying with a tummy ache. The poor thing. Then my dear sister in law, Christie, received her endowments but unfortunately I couldn't make it to that. I did get to go to Stu and Christies sealing though! To do so I brought Tray with and nursed him in the car right up until it was about to start then ran in handed him off to his Aunt Heather and ran to the sealing room. But I am glad I did. It was so awesome! I was tearing up the whole time. I am so happy for them! My oldest brother Cody was able to fly in for the happy event as well which was really nice. It was great to have him here. His family was not able to come out with him, so we missed them. But it was fun to have him meet Tray. That and he was really good at getting Tray to fall asleep, so I loved that :) Darren also started a new job. Its nothing special and hopefully we can find something better, but for now we are grateful for it. I swear NO ONE in Utah is hiring for a decent job! If anyone knows of anything please let me know! So he has been pretty busy working lots of hours. But he is doing really great and they love having him. Such a hard worker! :) Tray misses his Dad alot though when he's working. He gets really happy when Darren is home and has time to play with him. Tray tell the wildest stories to his Daddy. Its cute! Here is a picture of Tray talking. This is my all time favorite picture!

Ha ha I love it! He is so alive and alert it is so much fun. He talks and smiles ALL the time! AND... I've heard him laugh twice now! Its pretty much the most adorable sound I have ever heard. But unfortunately he has decided to only be giggly at 2 in the morning when I am the only one around to hear it. (Frustrating, yet Flattering) :) So no one believes that he has done it. Man he is just soo cute! I can't seem to get enough of him! But I guess all Moms get that feeling. :) He is looking more and more like Darren everyday which Darren loves. He'll say things like "Man I love that you look like your Papa!".. Honestly I don't know weather to sit back and enjoy the cute moment or slap Darren for insinuating that he is glad our son doesn't look like his Mama. Ha ha Well anyways.. Until Next Post!

You should have Darren look at jobs up here at the U. They usually pay pretty decent, and there are great benefits. just an idea?

p.s. I still want to do lunch! Let me know when you can come up!
love you!

I'm sure being a mom is difficult but you are doing a great job at it! I am so glad you could take the time to come to our sealing. When we playing volleyball next? Love you!
