Outings

So, yesterday we went out for the first time with Grant. Yes he was only 2 days old, but if you've ever eaten at Pastry Pub in Cedar City you might understand. Grant slept the whole time and although Ryan had a minor meltdown, it was a successful outing.

Today on the other hand we had a very unsuccessful outing. First we went to Silas's work to show him off. That was fine. Then we went to Wal-Mart. It was a quick trip because I want a new carseat, but even though we weren't there long it was ridiculous. Luckily Silas's mom was with me, but all three boys were sad or naughty. Cleod didn't listen to anything, Ryan was crying over broccoli (screaming actually) and Grant cried the whole time we were in line to checkout. SO I am not taking them all out to a store for a very long time!

The boys are doing really well with Grant himself but having some breakdowns because of the changes and all the people that are coming and going. They have had too many adults telling them 'no' for the last few days. I am hoping the next few days we will be able to relax a little more and they won't feel so pushed around.

Check out more pictures of Grant on our website: www.thehomebodys.com.

Grant James Aitchison

At 2:30pm we welcomed Grant James Aitchison into our family.
He weighed in at 8lbs 2oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long.

Enjoy the pictures, cause he's beautiful.

Pumpkin Patch

We just found out that there is a pumpkin patch in Paragonah, about 20 miles from Cedar so we took a road trip. The boys had fun picking their very own little ones.

My preppy boys...

I finally got out the boys' warm clothes and realized that I had some matching shirts. (Cleod's looks too small even though it's a 5T and he's not even 4.) The are pretty much the cutest ever.
Ryan is saying cheese with crackers in his mouth, by the way.

I'm offically a blogger...

So, Silas and I have had our own website for a while, but it was a little complicated for me to post stuff. I thought we'd give blogspot a try. I love to look at other people's blogs and wanted an easier way for others to look at what's new in our family.

We are 3 1/2 weeks from having our 3rd boy, which I am very anxious about. I wanted him to come early, but now I want him to wait at least until the 23rd (which is 5 days before my due date) because Silas's mom, Joleen, is flying out to be here and it would be really crumby if she missed it now.


This is from a few weeks ago. My mom and my sister, Deni came to see us for a couple of days. Cleod, my 3 year old is holding Deni's baby Landon and I have my 2 year old Ryan.
