Twenty-Two

Clayton with his Birthday desseret at Tucanos. We ended up going to Tucanos the weekend before his Birthday cause we wanted to go on a Saturday. I did however day send him 22 reasons why I love him or things I love about him Today to start his brithday. He said his phone went crazy at work... sweet success :)

Me with my cherry stem from Clayton's dessert tied in a knot...yeah I am that good ;) ha.

Top View of Clayton's present

Side view 

Inside and on top of the box was some of his Favorite Treats: Hershey's Candy  bar, orange tic tac's, Twix , Green Monster, gummy worms, black Twizzlers, and circus peanuts. The best part was he opened the box and that that's all he got for his b-day...

BUT at the bottom of the box it said BONUS. Meaning: his bonus from this weeks pay check was his to keep. He wants to use it to get stuff for  his Hunt coming up in a few months :) So he was happy :)

Horrible Picture but, His cake he wanted for his b-day (German Chocolate) his favorite along side with cheese cake, though German chocolate won this year.

While celebrating Clayton's b-day Mom (Fraughton) was cleaning out some stuff and came across all the older/married kids blessing outfits! So we got to take them home. I thought it was fitting that I post a picture of what Clayton fit into when he was born (roughly) 22 years ago. I love my Husband and I was so glad to celebrate this wonderful day! I would also like to thank mom (Fraughton) for bringing her son into the world 22 years ago so that I could have him now: )

Mason Turns 4

     The thickest chocolaty cake ever :)

     Amber Fell and got a little wet...

     This was the scary part of the night. The waters edge was very slippery. One of the little girls from the party slipped into the water so Mike (Mason's Uncle) Jumped into save her boots,phone and all. He started to go down too because he couldn't get up the slippery slope.

     So Nic (mason's dad) and Clint (little girls dad) Jumped into help but they couldn't get her up the slope because they would push her up and she would slide right back down..

     So then Clayton had to help pull them to safety!! Super scary moment!!! So glad it all worked out ok and no one was hurt.

     Cousin's...

     Mason and Me

      Clayts first catch.

     Jake's and Dakota's First Catch.

     Jaxen's Little feet :)

     Mason and Nichole :)

     It was a super fun night!! To bad I never caught a fish (to this day I have never caught one. Maybe someday)

Manti Pageant

      This weekend we went to The Manti Pageant in Manti Utah. Its a play about Joseph Smiths Story, and The Book Of  Mormon. I love this Story its so amazing and so touching. It also talks about the pioneers. There is one story that always pulls at my heart strings. It talks about a Pioneer women who's little baby dies on the way to Utah, It talks about how it was so cold and the ground was frozen. So they could only dig the baby a very shallow grave. The mother is mourning for her little one, and worries that the coyotes will get to her little body. Even though her little one is already gone she doesn't want to leave her empty little body alone. This story made me cry. The hardships and sad things the pioneers had to go through to get to Zion were so hard but yet there Faith was so Strong they still went knowing that the trail would be hard.
     It amazes me what the early member's of the Church did for the Church I am so grateful for all that Joseph Smith did for me. I know he was a Prophet of Heavenly Father and I am eternally grateful for all he did and what the pioneers did to make Utah such an amazing Place to live!!
   
   

      The Best Getalo ever yum!!

   
       Playing Phase Ten to pass the time:)

   
     Only in Utah... A train of girls filling out Missionary Contact cards. Yay for missionary work :)

   
     The Best Old Fashioned Cream Soda, Plus a fun bottle :)

     I love the Manti Pageant. It helps everyone understand the story of Joseph Smith and all those who were there with him. If you have never been I strongly suggest you go! Its SO worth it :) Even if your not a member you will enjoy it I promise!!

It's The Little Things...

     I came home to these tonight..

     It really is the little things that matter most! Clayton had been on a hike today and saw these flowers and brought them home for me! To me three simple little wild flowers are better the a dozen red roses!! I have always told Clayton I rather have a single flower then a dozen, I mean don't get me wrong I love bouquets too. Though there is something about a single flower (or 3 of them :) in tonight's case ) that makes it special and more meaningful.  I love my husband so much and I am so grateful for the little things :)

I'M IN LOVE!!

     For those of you who don't know My amazing cousin Kristen does Eye lash extensions!! I never really cared about getting them and to be honest thought they were a waste of money...but now i'm a changed gal!! I LOVE THEM!! They totally make my blue eyes pop!! I could never get as full and long lashes as I wanted with mascara, and now I don't even need mascara!! If you want awesome, fabulous lashes let me know and I can get you her number!!
 
     Here are two views of my lashes...I couldn't get very close with out the pictures getting blurry :)

Play Ball

   
     Clayton's last softball game of the season was today! Almost every game they have had to forfeit because of lack of players but, this game they got to play and the won!! It was so close and very intense! I love watching Clayton play he gets so in to the games its so cute :) So afterwards we went to Cold Stone and got ice cream and a caramel apple to celebrate :) By the way the Grasshopper Caramel apples from Cold Stone are the BEST!!!!

Emotions Gone Wild

     I have No idea why I have been such a cry baby lately. I mean really anything can set me off. One minute I am fine and then next minute the water works begin. So today I was bored so I started to watch The Ghost Whisper with Jennifer Love Hewitt. I am only one episode in and I was a wreck. Its kinda cheesy but at least the first episode is touching!! So if you like sappy shows and tear Jerkers....(For me At least) go a ahead and try it out. Oh and It made me JUMP haha.

birds birds birds

    

      Who knew something so little could be so cute and freaky looking at the same time!! I think that is what makes them so cute!! Ha-ha I love there Bulging blueish purple eyes (that aren't open yet), pink skin and a couple feathers here and there. It sucks that we can only take a peak every now and then so the mother doesn't flip ( I mean If I was that mother bird I would be think OH MY GOSH!!! THERE'S A FREAKING HUGE ALIEN STARING AT MY BABIES!!!) poor mother I should just stop looking but its so hard to resist :)

     P.S. Forgive the awful shot it was hard to get close with out giving the mother a hard attack.

My half Chipmunk

     I hate hate hate the Dentist always have always will. So naturally anything to do with teeth makes my palms sweat and my stomach turn.
     Clayton lately has had a lot of dental work done so we thought he was all finished. Its been no fun at all. The funny thing is is in fact that Clayton brushes/flosses his teeth like crazy. Anyway three days ago Clayton said he was had a sore on his cheek. We decided to waited it out and see what happens. Then Yesterday he said his face felt a little swollen, I checked it and thought maybe just a little, He also had felt warm all day and started to BURN up at night. He laid in the bed  with fan on and while I got a cool rag and tried to cool off his body. I was starting to get really worried about him.
     The next morning he was even more swollen like tripled the size from yesterday and  I asked what he wanted to do. He wanted to go to work and planned to go to the Dentist after work. He got half way to work and decided the dentist was better option.
     His dentist wasn't answering the phone which was probably a good sign (I feel his dentist just does work that is unnecessary/ trys to get more money out of us. Though that might not be true just how I feel). Instead we went to my Dentist. We got in pretty fast. We got several x-rays and the dentist decided that it was a abscess though  it was sitting between two different teeth (The back two). So Clayton was put on antibiotics and loratab. The Dentist wants to wait while for the antibiotics to kick in and hopefully then sore with go to one or the other teeth. Were PRAYING its his last tooth, if so they will just be an extract it with no trouble and it will only be $100.00 but if not and its the second to last tooth they will have to do a root canal for $800.00.
     DID I MENTION I HATE HATE HATE THE DENTIST!!  While not the Dentist personally he is awesome and very nice!! Just the process and the bad teeth Clayton and I both have! Our poor children have NO hope for good teeth! So were crossing our fingers and say a many little prayers and hopefully it will be the back tooth. For now Clayton will just have to stay My half Chipmunk (His face is only half swollen).

Wonderful Surprise

     Came home to a Lovely bouquet of Flowers from my wonderful Aunt Linda!! Clayton got home before I did and called to ask why I had bought flowers. I was so confused then thought it was most likely was my amazing Aunt Linda!! They are so BEAUTIFUL I lOVE THEM!! THANKS LINDA!

You've Gotta Friend In Me!

   For most of High School I never had many girls that were friends...I just never really got along with girls.I had a few but for the most part I just hung out with guys So maybe that was my problem! HA. Although the few girls friends I had were dear friends. Logen and I found friendship at work. Now she is living in Canada with her Hubby and so happy they are the cutest couple ever!! Any time she comes to visit I love to see her!! We always pick up where we were and have BLAST. Plus they don't have Cafe Rio in Canada so when she comes thats where we like to go :) The one thing I lOVE about TRUE friends is that no matter how long time passes before you see each other your still close as ever and always got each others back :) I'm so grateful to have met Logen and be best buds :)
