A week with my mom

My Mom came up for a week to help me with James/Kyson. It was SO nice to have her here, and we were all sad to see her go. She had something new and fun for Kyson to do every day. I must seem pretty boring after her! 

Clark also had his 29th birthday on October 7th, and we had a little party while my family was here. My Dad and Blake, Tyler, Aubrey and Lauren drove up on Sunday to see James and watch conference  with us. I felt a little bad for Clark, he had two gifts to open, and Kyson had a pile of gifts that people had given him for when his baby brother came. Sometimes it stinks to get old!










While my Mom was here we went and gleaned potatoes, went shopping, got all of Clark's suits dry-cleaned ( it has been 8 years since he had any of them cleaned!), dried apples and I got a nap every day! She cooked, she cleaned, and she stayed up with James every night until 1:00 am so that I could get a little sleep. What a saint!







Kyson loves wearing our glasses, and he has recently discovered my headbands. He is awesome.
This is what I get to wake up to every day! It's pretty easy to love this little guy!


Angie and I tried to take some newborn photos of James. Kuddos to all you photographers out there, because it was hard. James was wide awake and wouldn't do any of the cute poses we saw on pinterest! Angie edited these ones up and I think they are pretty cute!

So cute! I can't believe how much he looks like Clark! You make me jealous not only do you get your mom but you get to take your baby home right after you have him! Maybe someday I'll have the same privlage. We are excited to meet baby James and Robert would love to spend a little quality time with Kyson!
