Lawrence

Sweetie you are growing so fast, too fast really. I am just soaking you all in.

at 2 weeks you outgrew newborn size clothes and diapers

at your 2 week appointment you weighed 10.3 pounds

we love you.

Lawrence you are getting chunky (in a good way). you had your one month and weigh 11.5. You are still a little jaundice so we had to get your foot poked again to test bilirubin levels. Sorry babe.

Had your 2 month appointment on Monday, and buddy your doing so well! weight: 13.96 lbs (87th percentile) , Height: 25.375 in (99.89th percentile) wow!!!, head circ: 15.75 in.  Your jaundice is cleared up, your umbilical hernia is healing and your on track developmentally. 

You received your first vaccines, how we dislike those shoots! Basically your really thriving!

 love and hugs.

a few outings

we hve been keepinf bbusy
swimming at friends house, the library, pladates, trips to the park. we went into garden city the otherday and hiked/walked around the lake. i forgot my camera for once so i have no pictures-gasp!

4th of July!

The morning of the fourth I spent hanging out with my fabulous sister Jessica, after a run we ate a yummy meal of waffles (thanks to the Mr. for making them)!

later we bought fireworks and then went to the Big D for Zip lining, we also got to play in a bouncy house, a blowup obstacle course (not my most graceful moments) and we also got free Slurpee (those cool people own a machine!), Awesome! Thank you to the Durrant's. I am so lucky to have such cool extended family members! they are the ultimate example of work hard play hard. Believe me they work VERY hard.

Banbury Hot springs

Forth of July weekend we went to banbury hot springs. Its been a place the Durrant side has had reunions at for a long time.

We (the west children and families) got there a day early to camp.

It was really fun. and we got to see family we don't often see.

 win win.

The kids loved swimming Lawrence included.

Camels back, ridge to rivers trails

two weekends ago, before the fire in the foothills, we went on another awesome hike.

During the hike it got steep and poor Eli got scared. after a pep talk and right before we finished the hike Eli said "mom, don't listen to your fears; listen to your braveness, like me. Okay?"

Later that night we went to a Quinceañera and a wedding reception.that morning and the night before I had attended baby showers (obviously for different people). Sunday we went to a family party for my grandma's birthday. overall it was quite the weekend. 

And just so you know all of those party's had chocolate cake. What are the odds!?

swim lessons 2016

We are finally doing swim lessons for our boys. It has been on our to do list forever but various things got in the way. This year we are doing swim at my parents neighbors house.

So far, surprisingly,

the boys do not like it. 

kinda sad. But I think it will turn out well.

Either way I am so glad they are finally getting some lessons.

Secretly I am jealous of them.

I didn't learn how to swim until I was grown, even though I love water.

They will thank me someday.
