Happy Birthday!

I celebrated my 31st birthday in style....  We went to church, the Primary kids sang to me, I got a new camera from Randee and a juicer for canning from my parents, and we had a small party on Monday night.  It was a great day!  The kids and Montana made me cards and were so willing to help out.  There is nothing better than feeling your family's love for you.

Doctor's Appointments

We've had a few of these this month. Mason and I headed off to the dentist at the beginning of the month for cleanings. Almost everything looked good. I have a small cavity but we are waiting until after the baby is born to fix it. And Mason needs his 6 year molars sealed. Then Dr. Dave proceeded to tell me that Mason needed to be seen by the orthodontist since his bottom teeth stick out over his top teeth on one side in the back of his mouth. So, we scheduled that appointment....

Montana needed to have a follow up with the orthodontist so we decided to take both of them at the same time. Montana's teeth looked really good and he doesn't go back for 6 months! Mason had his consultation done. They decided that he needs an expander on the roof of his mouth to push the teeth out so they are even with the bottom teeth. They also want to brace his four front teeth together so the expander doesn't push them apart. This will also create a little more space for Mason's adult teeth to come in. The orthodontist wants to see Mason again in 6 months and see what his mouth is looking like then. At that point, we might start with the expander. Mason wasn't thrilled about it but he's okay with waiting 6 more months!

Peyton also had a cardiology appointment this month! They didn't do an ECHO so we were in and out in about an hour which is record time. They did an EKG which looked great. And then the Cardiologist talked to us. She said he is looking and sounding great. She said his heart almost sounds normal! We decided to slow down on his Lasix in hopes of one day being off of it completely. Since we are doing a slight med change, we will go back in 6 months and see how he is handling the change. We will also do an ECHO at that appointment. We are so blessed that Peyton is doing so well. He is such a joy to have around!

As for me, I am 31 weeks pregnant and my iron is low! My iron is always low when I'm pregnant so I just have to try to get more in me. All in all, I'm feeling good and hanging in there!

Union Station

A couple of weeks ago, Mason didn't have school because of Kindergarten testing. So we decided to head up to my mom's for the week. One day we took the boys to the Union Station in Odgen to see the trains and go to the museum. They had so much fun and it gave us something to do to keep them occupied. Montana stayed home and worked and started the remodel of our bathroom. That post will come later when it's all put together...and it's almost there! So exciting!!!

Random Happenings

Tanner cut two teeth on the top! He still has no teeth on the bottom and you can't see his teeth unless you pull back his top lip. We attempted to get a picture so here goes:



Mason had a Moms and Muffins Day at school. I got to go to the school and Mason and his class sang a song to all the parents/grandparents that were there. Mason then read his books to me. We ate a muffin and he gave me my Mother's Day present! It was a flower that he had planted. The flowers were sitting in the window for a few weeks before this event and Mason would tell me not to look at them. And he was also afraid that his wasn't growing since a lot of them weren't. He was quite surprised to see what his looked like when his teacher gave it to him to give to me.






Montana took me on a really FUN date the other night. He didn't tell me what we were going to do so I was quite surprised! We rented a tandem bike and rode to dinner at Magleby's.




Then we went up the canyon and had a fire, roasted marshmallows, and ate smores. We had a lot of fun and it was great getting a break from the kids. And I didn't have to worry about the kids around the fire or the way high Provo River!





One morning I made waffles for breakfast...and I should not have gotten Tanner dressed before I fed him. He got syrup EVERYWHERE! He spread it in his hair and all over his arms and hands and face. So, he got a bath in the sink and he LOVED it!

Lots of Pictures

I haven't updated for awhile, except for what is going on with Peyton. And I'm really overdue for a lot of pictures. So, here they are..... (Sorry about some of them being the wrong way...I couldn't get them to turn!)
















































Peyton had to wear this Holter Device (for 24 hours) to monitor his heart's rhythm so they know what is normal when he has his surgery. He showed it to lots of people and loved that it had its own backpack!
