2 Months

I know I'm a little late for Karver's 2 month post but I'm still in catch-up mode!
Our little Karver is such a sweetheart, he is so different than Kooper was when he was a baby. Karver is so much more temperamental! He loves to be held, he hates his swing..bouncer...the floor and he loves to cry! Thanks to my friend Abby we finally found something he actually likes so we can get some things done. It's called a glider and for some reason he LOVES it. He talks to the animals and likes to try and get them. We love his smile it lights up his whole face and when he is smiling really big he has the cutest dimples ever!
A few weeks ago Karver gave us quite a scare. Long story short, he woke up with a fever and so his pediatrician had us take him to the ER because it was too high for an infant. They took so much blood from him, poked both of his arms and his little foot. They also attempted to a spinal tap 3 different times to test him for spinal meningitis but couldn't get a clear sample. Because they couldn't rule out spinal meningitis they admitted him up to the pediatric floor to watch him overnight. This was probably one of the hardest couple days that I have ever had being a Mom. Seeing him in so much pain and having a cry like I have never heard before broke my heart. I was an emotional wreck, luckily I have an amazing husband that could step in for me when I just couldn't take it anymore, but then coming back in the room and seeing tears in Weston's eyes after having to watch his little boy having to go through so much about killed me. He is such an amazing Dad and I'm so thankful that he is so strong when I can't be. I'm most especially thankful that he was able to give Karver a Priesthood blessing and knowing that everything would be okay with our little boy. Everything did turn out being okay, it was just a little virus and I'm so thankful!
Karver is growing so up so fast! His stats for his 2 month check up were.....
Weight--11lbs 14oz 60th percentile
Height--26 in 98th percentile
Not sure about his head stats...his pediatrician is great but very old school and she about forgot to give me those stats:)
So he is tall and skinny! He only wakes up about 1 time a night to eat which is SOOO nice! Kooper is starting to warm up to him, he loves to get Karver's hands and play patty cake, Karver LOVES it..he just grins the whole time! There are times that if Karver is crying Koop will put his bink in his mouth and be so proud! I'm so excited for these two little guys to be best buddies!Hates his bouncer..the second I put him in this he SCREAMS!His Swing....He hates!The glider...he loves, he honestly smiles the whole time! So cute!
Kooper can always get Karver to smile, it is the most precious thing to listen to Koop talk to him!Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon...our favorite! I love my boys!

Continued trip from Utah.....

PaPa and Karver had lots of bonding time:)
This picture was from our lake trip, but it was the highlight of Koopers trip, "the Capetian"(that's what Kooper kept calling Sage) let Kooper drive the boat! He is still talking about it!
We made a few trips to St. George to the splash pad...so fun!


It's impossible to get all the kids to look at the camera at the same time! We had so much fun with the twins, one of Kooper's best little buddies Blake and then we brought along Kaylee, Kooper's cousin she was the best little helper with all the kids.... we all had a blast!
Then of course the "jumpy house" this is by far one of Kooper's favorite places, he could bounce for hours!

Lots of playdates....

FINALLY....they are all looking!!

We had such a good trip, we always love seeing family and friends! We drove home and it was a LONG 12 hour drive! We stopped at Breckenridge to get some wiggles out. We rode the gondola to the top of the mountain and then the kids (and Weston) rode the Alpine slide. It was a nice little break. We brought my neice McKenna home with us and it has been so nice! She is such a big help, I dont know if I can let her go back home in August!

More picts from our trip to Utah..

We were able to do so many fun things when we were in Utah visiting family and friends, here are just a few more pictures. Some of our "besties" invited us to the lake on our last evening there, we had a blast..it was a perfect way to spend our last night! It was also Kooper's first time on a boat and he was in Heaven!

The boys taking a dip in the lake...


Kooper and Kamree getting fresh in the back of the boat:)


My cute hubby getting his wake-boarding on!



He loves his "soon to be Mother-in-law"

We also stayed at our condo in St.George. My inlaws came down with us and we had a nice dinner and then my little brother, his wife, and kids came and hung out in the hot tub on our balcony..so fun!

Getting ready to jump.....We also went to the new aquatic center several times, Kooper loves that place and so do Mommy and Daddy because it makes for a SWEET nap!

4th of July!

I think the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, I love the parades, barbecues with family & friends, and of course fireworks! I feel so blessed to live in a country that I am able to enjoy the freedoms that I do that often get overlooked in my everyday life. I'm so grateful for the men and women that continue to fight for our country and make the sacrifices that they do.
We were lucky enough to be in Utah this year for the 4th and it was the perfect day! It started off with the parade. We always sit in front of my Grandpa's store (Ron's Sporting Goods), which is nice because when its 100 degrees outside you can always take a break and go grab a doughnut and some juice inside, that my Mom always brings for breakfast.My cute little friend Marie lovin on Karver for the few minutes that he was outside...it was SO hot! He loved her, he was smiling the whole time!
I told Kooper he had to take a picture with Karver before he could go in the bounce house that my Mom rented...as you can tell he was not having it!

All the kids has so much fun(including Weston..still a kid at heart) on the bounce house. My cute little Mom thought it would be fun to rent a bounce house for our 4th of July barbecue.My cute Mom and Grandma:)Grandpa and Grandma....My Grandpa Ron is who I named Karver "Ron" after...Love that Man!They also had fun jumping on the trampoline, and the slip&slide.

Time for fireworks!!!!The little poppers were a hit!Koopers cousin Taylee, they are only 6 months apart and play so good together.What's the 4th of July without watermelon??
LOVES his "Aunt JO"
We saw some big fireworks:)
Happy Forth of July!
