Vacation 1

We went up to Boise for the Clayton Family Reunion on June 29th. Sadly I didn't get any pictures. But it was a fun day and we also celebrated Grandma and Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. The kids played in the water, had duck tape creation contest, and we drove in the Model A's.

On Monday we headed to Paris!!!! What a perfect place to spend our 6 year anniversary. I told Chad I had always wanted to go to Paris. He said your welcome.

Okay well so it wasn't exactly the Paris I had in mind.....we spent a few days at a cabin in Paris Idaho.

Easton fully enjoyed all of the attention from his cousins.

 

Alex and Kimberly took Chad and I on a couples ride through the forest on ATVs. It was a lot of fun and we were completely covered in dirt.

 

The kids loved having "adventures" around the cabin and little creek.

 

Sophie decided awhile back she wanted to cut her hair. But insisted that Aunt Kimberly was the only one that could do it. She ended up having plenty of length to donate to Locks of Love too! So....

 

 

And she absolutely loves her short hair! 



Easton's Blessing

We had the opportunity to bless Easton on our 6 year wedding anniversary! My awesome mom made his cute little outfit. He was such a dapper fellow...

It was nice to have Chad's whole family there for the event.

And we had 4 generations of Claytons in the circle...

 

 

My parents were also able to drive up to be with us...

 

 

 

 

It was a great day and it sounds like Easton is going to be one great missionary.

 





A Little Training

We went to Sports Authority the other day and Chad and the girls found some football equipment....

Sophie informed us after putting it on that it was for boys. I told her that girls can play football too. And coach Dad proceeded to show them what to do...

They really liked hitting each other...maybe we should by a couple for them for at home to get out some sisterly frustrations.....

2 Months

Our little Easton is 2 months old today!! He is smiling a lot more and is over all just a happy kid...

 

 

We took him swimming for the first time a few days ago. His swimsuit was just a little too big for him and we only had swimming diapers from Lydia....

 

He was a little too tired to care much about the water too..

 

 

 

Happy 2 months Mr. Roc!! We love you!



Little Miss Independent

About 2 weeks ago Lydia decided to potty train her self. She put on underwear and never looked back. She only had an accident every couple days or so and she would take care of it herself. Now that's my kind of potty training!

After our last miserable attempt at teaching her to use the potty I gave up and decided to let her do it on her own. I am so glad I did because this little miss independent just wanted to do it in her own time!

Yesterday she was reading books to Easton it was pretty cute. She has several of our books memorized. I apologize for her lack of clothes she got distracted when getting dressed..

Easton is getting to be a big boy...okay he has always been a big boy. But he weighs 12lbs 13oz. He is 85% for weight and 81% for height. He loves taking baths...

and I finally was able to catch some little smiles on camera!

Silly Girls

Chad is always telling Sophie she can't kiss boys until after she is married. Whenever we watch a movie and a couple kisses she asks if they are married. He will remind her when she can kiss a boy and she says "yeah I know"

Grandma Clayton and Chad were talking about it the other day and Chad told Sophie "No kissing until your married right?" and Lydia pipes in "Yeah but we can hug!!" I think we are in trouble with that one....

Easton is doing well. We get him all dressed up in a cute... I mean handsome outfit every Sunday...

Which he proceeds to pee on pretty much every time. Poor Chad is usually a victim of this also. His life consists mostly of the girls hovering very closely over him....

 

But he likes it.

1 Month

Easton is 1 month old today...

It is crazy to think he is that old already. Time is flying by. He is such a good little guy and is so patient especially with his sisters. He is smiling a lot more and hopefully sometime I will catch it on camera. He mostly does it when you are talking to him. In the car he enjoys being able to see his sisters. He gets upset of I don't uncover him...

This was his view the other day...

We headed to the hospital since they were giving away free bike helmets. The girls loved them so much they wore them the rest of the day.
