Trip to Camarillo

I know, I know, I’ve been back for almost 2 weeks and haven’t posted, so here it is.

Three weeks ago, my parents flew into town to help us repaint the exterior of our house. Unfortunately about an hour before they landed, it snowed. Yes, snow. Which means that we couldn’t paint outside. We painted instead and various other little projects around the house. My dad flew back to CA on Sunday night and Braden, my mom and I followed him down there on Tuesday.

On Wednesday we ventured down to Long Beach to visit with my cousin Lisa, her husband Kevin and my uncle Bruce. It was a wonderful time with good food and even better company! It’s always good to see them and we are already looking forward to the next time!

Luke and Steph Timmons came to visit on Sunday. We have certainly missed seeing you guys so much. But we are so happy that you love your new jobs and are enjoying your So. Cal. life!Thanks for driving over to see Braden and me.

The rest of our vacation was very laid-back. We shopped, ate, played and most importantly relaxed. Thanks for letting us come and stay with you. And we’ll see you at Christmas!

George of the Jungle

Today the Goulds invited the us and Butlers to go with them to a rope swing they found off the greenbelt behind Veterans Memorial Park. It was a big pond and pretty nice, much warmer than the Boise River was! It was great fun until we decided to go on the rope swing. Ride #1 Kevin caught the toe of his sandal on the rocks on the bank of the water and just tumbled into the water. Ride #2 he leaped off the hill, threw his whole body weight into the air and SMACK, right into the tree holding the rope swing. Fortunately he held onto the swing and fell into the water and not on the rocks at the base of the tree. Youch!! Needless to say, that was all for the Turners. I didn’t dare try it, and Kevn’s pride and body couldn’t handle another ride!

(Tonight, the stratches just sting a bit, but his muscles are sore, like he’d been in a car crash, or maybe a tree crash? Hehe! Sorry Love!)

Braden and his Momma

Braden absolutely is in love with Morgan.  He could be fussy and crying anywhere and then he’ll see or hear Morgan and instantly turn his head at her and “light up”.  His smile will become huge and you can tell there is no one in the world like his mom.  I absolutely love it.  Morgan is a wonderful mother and wife and God has blessed me beyond belief with her.

Happy Fathers Day!

Ok, I know it was last week, but here it is.

On Fathers Day Kevin got breakfast (fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, strawberries, oj and milk) in bed with the Sunday paper. The day before we decided that we were going to go on a picnic with the other Turners, Dick and Joyce and Brian, Eryn and Liam. So after breakfast, we packed up the car, stopped for some fried chicken and potato wedges, and headed for Veterans Park. It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the boys enjoy themselves. It was so nice we went from there to the community pool in Tuscany near Dick and Joyce’s house. It was so fun taking the little boys into the water! We have little inflatable chairs that will also keep them shaded, so they are completely pampered! What a life! All in all I think a good day was had by all and many fun memories were made and traditions started!

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in my life! (and Happy Birthday Joyce!) We love you all.

The whole family!
Such a good Papa
Yay! Water!

Yummy Cereal

2 days before Braden’s 4 month birthday we started adding rice cereal to his bottle. He had be so hungry and fussy and no matter how much I nursed and fed with straight formula he was still hungry, and waking up in the middle of the night to eat. And he hadn’t done that since he was 10 weeks old, so we figured we would try it out and see if cereal helped. What a difference it has been! Not only is he happier but he also spits up less when we add cereal to that meal. His doctor thinks he might had esophageal stenosis, hardening of the valve that lets food into the stomach, which results in major regurgitation. But other than that he is very healthy and growing really well! He weighed 15.1 lbs and was 26 inches long at 4 months. Long and skinny, what can I say, just like his Daddy! We have started introducing spoon-feeding which makes more of a mess than I think he gets into his belly, but things are getting better! He’s starting to understand the whole swallowing concept. Good job little man!

What a messy eater!
Yummy cereal!
Yummy yummy in my tummy! So innocent

Swimming fun!

We have taken Braden swimming a few times now in an actual swimming pool and he LOVES it! We knew he likes his bath, but he loves water in general. He splashes and kicks at times but then also just floats calmly. When I put him under the water he just comes back up blinking his eyes and looking a little startled. No coughing or crying! What a good boy and already a little fish.

So cool in his swim trunks!

Last Saturday one of my dearest friends came into town to visit. She is from Boise but is going to Physician’s Assistant school in Glendale AZ. This was her first time meeting Braden. She was a natural with him! I can’t wait for you to come back into town Stef! Miss and love you!

Cleaning helper

Tuckered out from cleaning
As you can see, I took this picture of Braden while he was “helping” me clean. I had been vacuuming the house and happened to glanced into the mirror and saw him fast asleep! What a good helper huh!
