Baby Boy #3


We had our ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having a very healthy baby boy. I am not disappointed to be having another boy. We know what we are doing and have the clothes. With so many changes coming up, hopefully soon, having something that is normal might be better.
His name will be Eldon Theodore Hughes, most likely. Don has been fighting for this one and I finally gave in. It is a family name and that is why I consented. Eldon is a name in both his father and mother's line and Eldon Theodore was his Grandpa Gray's dad. Grandpa is a wonderful man and I see no problem naming a child after his father. Only thing I am not too fond of the name.
I have been feeling a lot better with very few sick days now. I am still really tired thought and can't stand for very long, is that weird? I mean I can't stand for more than 15min or so. Anyway, we are doing good.
Don graduates soon and we are looking for a job as a carrier in the Postal Service. It is a really hard market to break into right now, so we will give it a few months or so and then go from there. There are no career jobs to be had, but he most likely wouldn't get one anyway having no carrier experience. So we are starting at the bottom, getting a temp. carrier job (which is full time). Hopefully after a while the career jobs will start picking up again if not . . . we will see. Insurance wise we can join the union and purchase insurance. It is double from if you were a career job, but it is still reasonably priced. It has wonderful coverage, 100% maternity in fact so that is good.

Easter 2009






We had a fun Easter this year. The fun started on Saturday with two Easter Egg Hunts. Dad had the boys alone for these since I was busy setting up and carring out the hunt up at the Huntsman Center. After the Easter Egg hunt there there was a carnival. The boys had fun playing games and visiting the Eater Bunny.

Easter morning the Easter Bunny had left some soccer goals for Jaron and Bryson his own chair.

After church we had dinner at our home with Don's family. It was a fun day.

Bryson's 18 months!


He is saying new words every day!! It is so amazing how once they hit a certain age they just start developing by leaps and bounds. My favorite of the words he has started to say is "sorry." It is so cute. He tells Jaron sorry if he is mean and then gives him a hug. Also if he is getting in trouble he tries he charm out by coming close, smiling, and saying "hi." I try hard not to laugh, but sometimes I just break. He has just recently started trying to repeat everything Jaron says. When Jaron is talking to me he often is standing right next to him trying to say the exact same thing. He still is a big eater, but not liking meat a whole lot. He is in the 83% for his height, and only average for his weight. And he still is my cuddle bug. He loves to be held that is when he doesn't want to run around and play. Since he has discovered that he can run, jump, dance . . . he is a lot more active and doesn't sit still as much, but when he wants to be still he loves to be cuddled.
