Brad Paisley!

A few months ago I got an e-mail from Zion's Bank saying if you opened up a new account, you could get tickets to a show at Usana this summer. One of the shows they were offering was Brad Paisley and we did need to open a new savings account, so I thought this would be a perfect Anniversary present for Tyson.

The concert was on Friday and I spent all morning getting ready! I took the Jeep to the carwash and while I was vacuuming out the inside, I noticed all these guys that were doing the same. It was like they were all getting ready for their hot dates. So I got kind of excited thinking that I had a hot date too, because we really haven't gone out like this for a while. When I got home I wiped down the whole interior and even cleaned the carpets of the Jeep! I could have just quit there because I felt like I had made a huge accomplishment! Then I put Easton to bed and actually got myself ready for once! I dropped Easton off at my mom's and met up with Tyson. We were so excited for our date! We met up with our friends Jordan and Corinna for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was DELICIOUS as usual! I could eat a million of their rolls. Then we car pooled out to Usana.

Jordan and Corinna

Amanda and Thomas met us there when they finally got through the terrible traffic! We were there way too early though so they didn't miss a thing!

Besides Justin Moore and Darius Rucker, we also got to experience this wonderful opening act that was performed on the railing 5 feet in front of us.

That was the beginning of my bad experience! I guess I haven't really been to a concert since I was 8 and my parents took me to Faith Hill. I knew there was going to be alcohol, but I was COMPLETELY unprepared for what I saw! People are out of control! Drunk people came crashing down into us when their crowd surfing didn't work out and people were spilling their overlflowing $8 cans of beer everywhere! I really hated every second of it! The people around us were smoking the entire time and Tyson kept having to take me for walks to get me out of it. I had to try not to cry the whole time because all I could think about was the fact that these are someone's babies acting this way and passing out all over the place!!!

I started having some major anxiety about my children's futures. (I know I'm a pregnant emotional wreck.) I needed someone to tell me that there was still good in the world! Thank heavens for the General Relief Society meeting the next day. My mom came down to go to our stake dinner and broadcast with us. We had a good time and heard some great messages. I felt much better after that.

While we went to the conference the boys went to the BYU game. (Tyson was really happier than he looks:)

Another fun filled weekend! Looking forward to conference weekend so we can just relax!

Wrong Again!

So I've been 100% convinced that both of my babies were girls! Wrong again! We're happy to announce that Easton will be getting a new baby BROTHER!

It was so fun for all of us to see baby Callan at the ultrasound. He is a wiggler! The whole time he was scrunching up in a ball and then stretching his arms and legs out as far as he could back and forth. It was so cute. And so weird to see this apple sized bunch of cells looking like a real live human! We were able to count all his fingers and saw him swallowing amniotic fluid. He moved around so much that we couldn't even listen to his heart beat! (I would have been a little concerned, but we could see his heart beating on the screen.)

We couldn't be more excited!

I'm a Little Baby!

Easton has been wanting to be a baby again lately. It breaks my heart when he doesn't want to grow up! A week ago, he had a really bad day with the potty training. He peed his pants five times and every time I got him out of the bath and wrapped him in his towel he cried and said, "mom hold me! I'm a little baby!" So of course I held him pretty much all day and did whatever he wanted. But by the end of the night Tyson and I were getting pretty tired of him being so spoiled and demanding (my fault I know). He refused to eat his dinner so we made him go sit in his crib with no binks. That usually causes a huge tantrum, but this time he was totally silent. Tyson and I finished eating, cleaned up dinner, and did the dishes all in silence.

Tyson went to check on Easton and realized he had forgotten to take down Easton's basketball hoop that hangs on his crib. Easton had stuffed all six of his stuffed animals into his tiny hoop! And it had kept him entertained for a long time! He never did eat his dinner.

The rest of the week went much better. He had two days where he was completely dry. His favorite undies are his football undies. One day while he was wearing them he got his football and climbed up on the table to reach my hat that was hanging up on the wall. He came running down the hall yelling to me about his helmet and how he's a BYU "tooger."

Yesterday afternoon he wanted to wear a diaper and was pulling the "I'm a little baby" card again. So we let him wear pull-ups all day. When it was time to go to bed we fought with him for over an hour. He cried and begged to sleep in mom and dad's bed. Tyson finally brought him in and told him he could lay with us for a minute. Tyson started explaining to him that when the new baby is born it will sleep in Easton's crib and Easton will get a new big bed like mom and dad's. He did not like that at all! He started begging for his crib! I think he didn't want the baby to take it. He said, "Eason crib nite nite." So we put him in there and he was out like a light.

I guess I should enjoy my "little baby" as long as I can!
