Orvils Favorite Spot.....

Orvil has a favorite spot... it's on mom and dad's bed watching a show. This is where Orvil likes to hang out... this is the ultimate comfort zone for Orvil when he is sad, sick, tired, lounging, relaxing...whatever.

These are a few photos that I have taken of him, just chillin in mom and dad's bed.

The St. George Marathon

My mom is the coolest mom ever... She did it she accomplished her goal.... Congrats Mom you are awesome...... Love your daughter Ang!!!!!!

Rodeo Weekend

I love the Rodeo.. I look forward to it every year. Now that I have kids I really love it. It was a blast this year again. Thanks Grandma Hafen for always getting us tickets.

Also we partcipated in the Rodeo parade... my plan was to push JT in the stroller and walk along the side...ha ha I pretty much ended up running along side with my high heeled cowboy boots on..... yeah it was a fast moving parade (:

Orvil Building Stuff

Orvil recently has really gotten into what he calls "building" stuff. He gets all of his cars or trains and he lines them all up in little rows all over our house. It is so cute. I have found little rows of cars in the funniest places... our closet...the kitchen floor... the coffee table.... my favorite was the toilet seat of our bathroom.

Orvil is so sweet and creative too... I think he got some of his dad's right brain..

Family Pictures

We were way over due for family pictures.... working with my work schedule and also tj's church callings finding a night to do these family pictures was difficult!! But as you can see it was totally worth it. They turned out awesome!!!!

Goodbye to the Galant....

We have decided to sell the Galant... I was a little sad. I have driven this car for seven years. It is a sweet car.

Brother's first bath

When Grandma was helping after my surgery she insisted that the "boys" have a bath together... So I got out the camera...

Ang has surgery....

So the dreadful day has come. On May 24th I had my gallbladder out. Or as a nurse would say I had a cholecystectomy. It was pretty much awful and not very fun.

I don't recommend having a baby and then like 10 days later getting your gallbladder out.

Luckily Grandma Rogers was there to help us. It was really hard to come home from this surgery and have a new baby and a two year old to take care of.

Thanks again mom for all of your help. I was pretty much worthless for about a week. I couldn't lift anything and I was really weak and in alot of pain. This whole process was alot worse than I thought it would be, but I am glad that my gallbladder is gone.

During both of my pregnancies my gallbladder gave me alot of trouble...so I decided that it needed to go. During JT's pregnancy I had frequent gallbladder attacks it was awful.

This picture was just a few days after my surgery....



My Boys



This is one of the few pictures of them together that I have. The first few weeks after JT was born Orvil didn't want to have anything to do with JT. In fact the first little while Orvil hated JT, he hit him, pushed him, and covered him with blankets alot. Orvil said to me all the time, all day long "Hey mom baby JT go night, night?"..."Hey mom baby JT go night, night?" over and over all day. For Orvil the best time of the day was when baby JT was going night, night. (:
