We are very happy to announce we will be bringing home a baby boy! I'm due July 20th! Been feeling really good so I'm A person again :) So glad that parts over and able to not just want to lay on the couch! Sorry Dayton and boys, Mom is back!! We both are looking forward to seeing what this little guy looks like...dark hair, my guess is no way the Gardner genes dominate!! Will be shocked too if we get another blue eyed boy....nature says thats impossible:) telling the boys today that we get to bring home a baby brother, Dax wondered where he was and wanted him here now :)Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-15721116315124232122012-02-23T21:10:00.001-08:002012-02-23T21:10:18.914-08:00Fall family pictures!Still need to write actual events and stories here.......

I have no hang-ups about age-- I've felt middle-aged since about 8th grade so now it's nice to actually feel my age and I feel G-R-E-A-T! and now on to MORE important things! My sweet sweet Cam is 4 years old!! I am sorry to say his birthday was last Monday and I am now just posting this..Lameo-Mom !!<br />
After Dax's birthday last month Cameron started asking about his birthday and I was happy to say it's around the corner buddy!! He said he wanted friends and cake just like his brother's party!! Which is cute cuz' that kid is really shy...doesn't care for crowds but he rocked it out at Dax's party and was ready for his own special day!!! This kid is the kid that tells me "I Love you Mom" at least 3 times a day! Every night before bed he says "Okay Mom, 2 hugs and 2 kisses"--He loves to snuggle and is just a joy to call my son! He loves teasing Dax and can get him mad faster than anyone-- I am constantly catching that kid in the bathroom making faces at himself ( laughing I might add)- So I think we might have a little clown in the making :) He is our accident prone child..crossing my fingers no broken bones anytime soon! WE LOVE YOU CAM!!! Love Daddy, Mom, Dax, Gooose and Emmylou!!xoxoDayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-59303604245651981602011-07-22T09:55:00.000-07:002011-07-22T09:55:18.419-07:00Happy Birthday Dax!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nzorcSF9QCE/TimjWXENjoI/AAAAAAAAAjU/1KpdHfWKu0s/s1600/scan0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nzorcSF9QCE/TimjWXENjoI/AAAAAAAAAjU/1KpdHfWKu0s/s320/scan0002.jpg" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Day 1</div><br />

I'm having a couple of teary moments, mostly because it really does feel like yesterday he was born and we were embarking on a new life as parents!! I love this big guy so much! He is such the older brother, He loves his brothers and is the one they both want to follow and do what he does :) He is always trying to get Cam and Goose to laugh..So we might have a little class clown in the making. He is always smiling that deep dimpled smile and as you can guess it's hard to discipline the kid at times :) He is so loving and just loves to cuddle, which I hope never changes...But I know that day will get here eventually. He is his Dad's son as he loves to help Dad work on cars--Loves tools...a recent happening was he saw our neighbors working on their sprinklers so he went home and filled up his Hot wheel with tools and drove over to see if he could help! Love that boy :) Happy Birthday Dax Henry Gardner-- Your Mom, Dad and brothers love you!!xoxoDayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-9022029773566074552011-06-12T13:37:00.000-07:002011-06-12T21:00:22.208-07:00San Carlos 2011WEERRREEE BBBACCKK!!! We made our annual trek to San Carlos, Mexico this past week :) It was no surprising awesome! It seemed to take forever for the trip to get here but then the night before we set off for Arizona I was frantically trying to finish the dreaded packing(note to readers...I DESPISE PACKING) and with having a very full week before of hair clients, I would be lying if I said all the laundry was washed, the house was cleaned and I was a nice mother and wife......But everybody survived my craziness and we spent a couple days in AZ before the next leg of our trip. We spent the week working on our tans, enjoying each others company and indulging in food we had all been depriving ourselves leading up to this week of wearing only your "birthday..er bathing suit"- We went on our deep sea fishing trip and had a successful time as everybody was bringing up multiple fish on the same cast!! We headed to the aquarium to do some snorkeling but were sad to find with the windy weather the days before we got there had stirred up the seafloor and it was so cloudy you could barely see your hand in front of you. So it was straight to <u>OUR </u>favorite part of our boat ride--The native crew cooks up the BEST fish tacos you have ever eaten!!! They are divine--And after the long morning you eat then like it's your last meal!! My baby Goose would not even try to take a nap on the boat so upon getting back to the condo the little rascal took a 5 hour nap!!!We learned that Dax could spent from 6 in the morning to 6 at night on the beach or at the pool--His AMAZING tan speaks for it's self along with his hair is practically bleach blond!! He's pretty cute! Cam was Cam the first day..not wanting to try anything new but soon realized all the fun that is to be had playing in the ocean and swimming in the pool! Gus was a perfect angel, wearing himself out being outdoors and sleeping like a champ for close to 12+ hours each night!!! I will report that we saw nothing scary in Mexico--My Dad was not happy we were going, But with prayers in our hearts we had no difficulties and made it safely back to the US of A with no problems- I am really glad to be home--Well kind of home, We are in Arizona til' Tuesday, taking a break from another long car ride :) Thank you to April and Kinsley for lending me adorable swimsuits and clothes, I looked quite attractive I must add :)<br />

I am back to losing and it's a great feeling let me tell you! I am weighing in at 180.5,which is a GRAND Total of 34.5 lbs-- which is close to having lost the amount of weight I would have on me carrying Cam around on my back!!!With that said I am very happy that my efforts are being rewarded greatly!!! This week was not too hard the only day that I was forgiving to myself was Mother's Day-- Starting with at church they gave the Mother's on the way out of Sacrament meeting a cute little gift bag with a Hersey's chocolate bar w/ almonds! And a magnet with the beautiful quote <strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">:"There is nothing in this world as personal,as nurturing, or as life changing as the influence of a righteous woman. All women have their divine nature both inherent talent and the stewardship to mother"--Elder M. Russell Ballard--</span></em></strong> And with that said I really feel honored to be able to be the mother to my loving, sweethearts Dax, Cam and Goose! It was a near 5 year struggle to get Dax here but now my body sure knows how to get pregnant on it's own and for that I thank Heavenly Father. I have several close friends and family members who have not been able to conceive and I know from experience Mother's Day is not up there on the top of their list of days they look forward to, So dear Friends hang in there!! I know all of you will be able to have the chance to become Mom's yourselves, I love you and know that when the time is right</span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">(which unfortunately isn't sometimes when WE want it to be) it will happen and you will be AWESOME Mothers!! Don't get down, find joy and peace in the process--xoxoxo Candice</span>Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-54583180099550746022011-05-07T16:33:00.000-07:002011-05-07T16:38:54.902-07:00The delayed weightloss Update :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nh2ltUuZk58/TcXU92wyM0I/AAAAAAAAAhk/skVFSWiuTEw/s1600/DSC06703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nh2ltUuZk58/TcXU92wyM0I/AAAAAAAAAhk/skVFSWiuTEw/s320/DSC06703.JPG" width="240" /></a>I had to add these..These are pictures that the boys took of each other!

</div>Okay totally slacked on the weight loss update...I haven't fell off the wagon or anything ( if that's even how the saying goes) I have continued my workouts 5x a week, eating pretty sensibly blah blah blah--But I hit a plateau a couple weeks ago and tried to keep my cool--SO as of today I am 184....Yep if you read the last post I was a pound heavier than that..Boo!I keep reminding myself that in the last 6 months I have lost 30 lbs and I do feel like clothes are fitting looser, so that 's the good thing. I decided my body had figured out my plan and has decided to secretly plot against me so what have I done to combat it's plans? I started as of Thursday--No sugar, No white flour, only protein, fruits/veggies, LOTS of H20 ( which on day 1 there was a suprise birthday party for a neighbor..can we say chocolate cake and I didn't succumb!!!) and I think I need to change up my workouts! I have been doing the Zumba Toning instead of just regular Zumba--It's Zumba with 3lb. weights and Holy Crappers!Does it kick my booty!! I have tried to continue my struggle with running......I am at a 13.40 mile...Yeah and about 5 days ago my knees have started to give me grief :( So I am trying not to cry into a half gallon of cookie dough ice cream, Wish me luck!! No really I am feeling really good and even though I am not enjoying my afternoon cocktail i.e. a fabulous ice cold Diet Coke, I am doing good and good I mean not feeling deprived and taking out my frustrations on the boys :) I have realized I am a total "boredom" eater! I eat out of there's nothing keeping me occupied which I scoff at cuz' half the time I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off so go figure :) Mexico is also looming over me like a raincloud--Not that I'm not excited I just am not ready to walk around in my bathing suit sans a cover-up -...So really hoping to lose even 8-ish more lbs before the trip.....With the weather warming up here it's easy to keep really busy with my boys loving their Easter bikes and us going on walks everyday and mentally the warm weather has been really refreshing!!SO Mother Nature please keep it coming:) and a side note to the testament of how long this winter has been..The snow pack on Mt Timp, here in Provo hasn't even begun to melt....Flooding is not a possibility its a reality this year!! Any who, I plan on trying to do what my girlfriend Becca does and update every Saturday on what's happening! I do believe the positive comments are huge in continuing weightloss success!!......Current photo below :P<br />

</div>It's my dear sweet Husband's 33rd birthday today!! I wanted to tell him how much I love him and how happy and lucky I feel to be have him to spend my life with!! Last night I reminded Dax it was Dad's bithday tomorrow and his reply was "Mom, we gotta go to the store and get him a toy"-- What's perfect about that is Dayton is a total kid at heart & I bet money whatever Dax would have picked out it would have been his favorite present :) Dayton is the kind of person who since we have been together ( almost 11 yrs) I think I've seen him in a bad mood maybe twice! He is always quick to drop whatever he is doing when either myself or our boys need his help :) He always been right in the thick of it with me changing the poopey diapers, wiping runny noses, starting laundry ( and is the first to grab a basket to fold while we watch a movie at night). He is Mr.Fix-it and if a toy or something breaks Dax reassures me "Dad will fix it"-- I love you Dayton and hope today feels like a extra special day!!xoxo-- P.S. Im making a new Reese's PB Chocolate cake with ganache--wish me luck it turns out perfect!!Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-66773108438780706192011-04-06T15:18:00.000-07:002011-04-06T15:19:46.796-07:00Hmm...Dax says Dad opened this....So had a good laugh at my eldest son, I opened our drawer that has treats in it sometimes and this is what I found :) <br />

Had a minor setback with being sick the last week so tonight's Zumba class will be my first workout since last Friday ( over a week ago) I know I have lost a little ground....Meaning getting back to the grind may be a little rough this week, Waking up tomorrow at 5:30 am is gonna kick my bum, But I will prevail!!!! I have actually really missed my workouts, It has become my 'ME" time :) And like I've said I truly believe I am a more patient, happy go lucky Mom with regular exercise. This week with being so sick ( I hadn't been that sick for some time) I let the boys kinda do whatever and it feels much better to not only be better of course but to get back to our semi-set schedule :) And mostly Im sure Dayton is much happier to have a wife back! I kinda get the blues when Im sick so I was not very forgiving to myself this week and seemed to try chew myself up & spit me back out! Im also attributing the "crazy, irrational thoughts" to the monthly reminder I am a woman :) SO lots of crazy talk this week....Thanks Dear for puttig up with me!On a happier not, People have definitely been complementing me on my weight loss more & more but I am a horrible complement receiver..I am trying very hard to be better and just say "thank you" and not start saying the "Yeah..but's"-- And also all of you gals comments were Awesome!! Thank you so so much :)<br />

</div>The scale has been kind-- Im clocking in at 185-186 so I have lost about 4.5 in the last 2 weeks :) The only thing that Im hoping to change is to see more change in my hip-thigh area...That's my "problem area" Im still wearing my good ol' size 14-16 pants and yeah it's nice to pull them out of the dryer and put them on ( I used to HAVE to hang all jeans to dry if I ever had any intention to put them on :) I would really like to just wear sz 12..Is that so much to ask :) So I gonna keep on the grind! Mexico in here in 9 weeks!!

</div>As you can see my baby LOVED his mini birthday cake! He was hesitant for like 30 seconds then went wild once he tasted the chocolate :) I was a little worried that he might get sick since he doesn't really eat any sweets besides fruit but no problemo He was in hog-heaven!! As you can see it was like Zoolander in the coal-mine,,You could pretty much see just a pair of blue-eyes looking up at you :) Thanks to My parents, Aunts, Grandmas, cousins for making it to the Big event!!

1 years old!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Today is a bittersweet day at the Gardner House! Our baby Goose is 1 today :) I can't express how fast this year has gone by! It really feels like we brought that little guy home from the hospital yesterday. He has been such an immense blessing in our home. We feel so fortunate to have this little boy for a son. He is always Happy and is so loving and tender. His brothers love him so much and really make it their goal in life to get him to smile and laugh :) Dax especially, He's always trying out new faces & sounds to see what he will do! Cam continues to try to ride him like a pony...We continue to explain that he's a baby not a stuffed animal. He gets his 1 year old check up in Saturday so I don't have official stats but if I were to guess he's topping in at around 25 lbs--Too heavy to carry for long :) He's sporting clothes that are 18 mon--some 2T but only cuz' I need to just break down & get him a few things...With him being a Spring baby & the other boys being Summer kids there is like a season of clothes at his size I never had to buy :) He is a fast crawler and he has super-power hearing, We can be as sneaky as possible to open the laundry room door or my bedroom & before you know it the lil' stinker is right on your heals! He loves solids (finally) really likes Little Cesar's pizza we discovered the other night....Not that that will become a normal dinner for him :P He is saying a couple words here & there which is really exciting to us! Today Dayton walked into the kitchen when I was feeding him lunch and plain as day said "Dad"-- We starting cheering and laughing-He loved it!! I gave him a haircut about a month ago I just couldn't wait any longer it was probably the "hair-dresser" in me but I couldn't take the uneven mullet one more day!! I shaved it with a number 4 to just take off the really long stuff & low and behold it's coming in white!! My little "toe-headed" son..who would guess he's a 1/4 Hispanic :) Or that I'm his Mom-- Had a couple people ask me if he's a nephew!!<br />
We are having a birthday party on Saturday Night so pictures of that little baby covered in cake are sure to follow!! We LOVE you Goosen!!! Happy Birthday!! xoxo<br />

</div> I felt that to help me have continued success at my goal of losing weight it would help to do as my sister-n-law Chelsea did and talk about it on here and have some peeps to help me be accountable and I wonder lie, reading comments of encouragement never hurts! Well if I am going to be honest I will start with saying that I had put on weight after we got married and that weight was still hanging on when we started our family :) Surprisingly When I was preggo w/ Dax I was so sick I delivered him weighing about 14 lbs less than my pre-preg weight ( sounds impressive til' I mention I delivered him at a slim 202 lbs) and after his delivery and nursing my weight stabilized and I eventually made my way down about another 10 lbs-- When Dax was about 4 1/2 mon old We found out we were preggo w/ Cam :) I wasn't as sick and still did well and delivered the little guy weighing just a few more lbs than with Dax-- Welcome chasing 2 babies and pretty much eating whatever fell off the high-chair :)I got some decent regular exercise, but pair that with I REALLY Like to bake and cook and the word "portion size" was not a regular word in my vocabulary! We were very lucky to welcome Mr. Goose almost a year ago ( Ugh...my baby is almost one) And you may not have known to look at me but I weighed in at a whopping 2...2...6...when I delivered....Yikes just writing that makes me want to go "feed my feelings"--hahaha...............................Fast forward to last October and I waddling around having lost at one time 16 lbs but more importantly gaining 8 of that back :( <br />
So what happened you ask? Well I started a serious 'no sugar' diet for about a month-- The first 3 days were agony..I could have kidnapped a girl scout if in return she handed over even one box of Samoa's!! But after that 3 day hump, the cravings were surprisingly pretty much gone :) I definitely was getting enough to eat ( you ate every 2 hrs to keep your blood sugar from dropping to low) and with my dear sweet husband following the program with me :) I didn't have to mope at the table eating steamed veggies & chicken while watching Dayton eating Lasagna or something :) I also dropped the carbonated soda which was rough.....I love the burn of carbonation--- Began working out 3x a week-- doing 3 sets of different weights and a minimum of 25 min of cardio-mostly the elliptical, but also doing some time on the treadmill-- What happened after one month was pretty surprising even to me! I lost 12 lbs and had wayyy more energy and knew that I couldn't keep up the "no sugar" but if I was smart about it I could continue on with eating semi-normal just paying close attention to portion size. Fast forward to Thanksgiving and after my girlfriend Bunny telling me along with my sister-n-law Miken how much they loved doing Zumba ( its a cardio workout via latin dancing infused with aerobics) I went to a free class they held on Thanksgiving morning were they claimed do this class and you can eat whatever you like today! How was I sold?? On that last part--It was Thanksgiving and I was going to enjoy myself :) After the hour class I was hooked!! This was by far the most fun thing I had done in a long time!! Started going regularly in December and not to blog every detail but today I am topping the scales at 188-190 depending on the day-- So in the last year I have gone down over 36 lbs!!!! To write that makes butterflies swarm in my tummy!! I am today a happier, more patient and loving wife and mother!! I am able to keep up with my 3 little boys and am feeling pretty good about myself!! We have our annual family trip to Mexico the first week of June so that gives me approx. 13.57 weeks to try to get to my goal of losing another 18-20 lbs so roughly losing about 1.5 lbs a week--which is not a unreasonable goal!!! I am proud to add that I'm not using any stimulants, 'diet pills', fat blockers ect. just doing it the ol' fashioned way of eating healthy and exercise! If this is going to be a life change not just a get in shape for a beach vacation, I can't think that I can use any of that crap cuz' in a half a doughnut second I could think that I could take those and not see that I can do this all by myself :)<br />
So I am continuing on with my working out-- I go to Zumba M-W-F and do a Weight class called Sculpt & Burn on T-TH-Sat-- I am about to step up my game since Valentines we've had chocolate in the house and time to just toss the rest in the trash :) I plan on checking in here about once a week! I in closing want to Thank Dayton for being my rock! He is so supportive of me and my goals! He's never complained about the hour I sneak off after the boys go to bed and is always complimenting me on my success!And even when I was heavier I never felt any less loved, Love you dear!<br />

I want to get a book made once a year of our blog to have a record of the events of our lives :) And since it was Dayton that Dax asked He is going to be our "guest" writer for this post: "Okay go ahead Dear"...................................<br />
<br />
Last Sunday in order to keep the sabbath Day Holy I popped in an old favorite movie "Jason and the Argonauts". About 45 minutes in as Triton the giant Merman God holds apart the Clashing Rocks to allow Jason and his Seamen safe passage, Dax looked over at me and said,"Dad, I LOVE this show!". The feeling was mutual. About 20 minutes further into the movie we come to Jason fighting the Hydra ( a seven headed Dragon) in order to obtain the Golden plates err I mean Fleece(the reason for their voyage). At this point Dax again looks to me pointing at Jason and asks,"Dad...is that Jesus Kwyst?" and I reply with enthusiasm,"That it is son, that it is."<br />

I haven't blogged in almost 2 months...You know how it goes Christmas, New Years blah blah blah!! We had a fun Christmas, the boys totally got it this year..For the weeks leading up to the big day all I heard from Dax was "Mom is it time to open presents?' And after helping wrap our cousins presents all Dax wants to do is wrap up anything he can--Sidestory I picked up some wrapping paper at 75% off for next year and had kept in the back of the van, not going to bring it in til' I remembered to after kids were in bed...Dax ended up seeing it a couple weeks ago and the other day he used up the remainder of the roll I let him wrap his daily presents with was gone, I said we were all done. He said "Mom, what about I use the paper in the van?" So the days of me thinking I can pull one over on my kids are over.....Not that Im mad/sad it's just realizing my kids are little 'people', It just kinda blows my mind away that all :) Santa and Mom & Dad went in together this year and the boys hot a Power wheel, Dax was in heaven and with true Cam style, He took one look and yelled "No, don't want it" and ran out of the room..This is classic Cameron..You think he's gonna like something and DOESN'T and you think he will hate something and loves it..He's a little odd to say the least but it's something that just makes us laugh now! So after 2 weeks Cam was finally coming around and climbed in to drive, he had dropped a toy out of the car and leaned over the side to get it and at the same time pressed the gas pedal w/o meaning to so it sent him flying forward unexpected..So as you can maybe guess Cam doesn't want to drive the car it's 'too scary'--- <br />

</div> Well Winter is in full effect here in Utah, It's been pretty cold so we have been staying inside keeping warm. Gus is crawling everywhere and the stairs are especially fun for the little rascal. He is enjoying solids finally and like his cousin George screams out with the current bite in his mouth as your hustling to get another ready!! He has 5 teeth now and there those cute chipmunk looking ones on top!! He is getting more hair and it's always kinda everywhere so most of the time he looks like a mad scientist :) We are REALLY enjoying our Goose, He is the star of the show so to speak at our house these days. Dax and Cam are so excited when he's woken up from a nap and Dax has discovered Gus will laugh at him so now Dax is turning into a stand-up comedian trying to get Goose to giggle!! We are about to have some changes happen in our life, Dayton is all registered at UVU to start classes in May!! So student life here we come!! Im going to also start school, very slowly though, only a class a semester-- So I'll keep you updated as to how that goes :) Also another sidenote, We found out on Christmas that the Gardner Family Mexico trip is planned and we depart the first week in June!! So as you might have guessed, We are in full swing on the New Year work out plan!!! Swimsuit weather here we come!!! ( Please swimsuit weather just get here already!!) xoxoDayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-27882587869257500932010-12-20T18:01:00.000-08:002010-12-20T18:01:26.868-08:00Dads are Awesome!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TRAJNyD0qRI/AAAAAAAAAec/cmIG_F4qNAY/s1600/DSC06489.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TRAJNyD0qRI/AAAAAAAAAec/cmIG_F4qNAY/s320/DSC06489.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Is it just me or do all Dad's do awesome random activities when you go to Walmart??

We like usual had a great Halloween! The boys were pretty excited to get all the candy their little hearts could ever want...Too bad their Mom is the candy Nazi who rations that stuff like it's the Depression--But only for their own good:) I had a awesome idea for costumes for us but life was just too busy so we went with some oldies but goodies and will save my awesome idea for next year! We had a great time at our Trunk-o-Treat, last year we won first prize so Dayton was ready to take the cake the second year in a row! But sadly they never said there was a winner..Dayton might still be pouting about it a little. And as all of you in Utah know we celebrated on the Saturday, that morning the weather looked great and since I had almost ran out of candy at the trunk-or-treat I decided we really needed to stock up for the night so pretty much after walking out of Rite-Aid w/ 10 yes 10 bags of candy ( I have started couponing so really the candy cost me like 40 cents a bag) the weather turned into something absolutely ridiculous even by Utah standards!! There was rain, winds that could blow your Halloween decorations to Kingdom come, Hail.....crazy, crazy, crazy!! So with that we got 7 trick-or-treaters...So anyone want to come over and take the other 9 bags of candy off my hands for me:) Oh almost forgot probably the coolest thing i have done in awhile...NOT :) So At preschool they sent a note home saying that the kids could dress up on what I clearly remember reading as Thursday...Dax goes Tues/Thurs so Tuesday was a normal day...He caught the bus as usual blah, blah, blah. Then Thursday is here we put his Dracula outfit on, and of course when your Dracula you need your black hair with the overdone widows peak, right? So as you can see he was so so so cute I couldn't stop laughing every time I looked at him. And then I can't remember if their suppose to bring a treat w/ them..So I call my girlfriend Erin who's son is in Dax's class and she says "Well, with the Halloween party they had on Tuesday, that stuff's all done"...Um what!?!? So yeah they were suppose to dress up on Tuesday....not Thursday :) So the bus comes to pick up Dracula...and needless to say they had a good laugh at my expense :) So all day all I can imagine is at school some preschooler ( cuz' this is how 4 year old speak to one another) asking Dax "So are not dressed up because you guys Jehovah Witnesses or something?"-- Anyway....I sent a change of clothes if it was too distracting to have a vampire in your class with you!~</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier New;"></span> </div><div> </div><br /><br /><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-11375059154003053282010-10-15T21:11:00.000-07:002010-10-15T21:33:14.114-07:00Patient Gus Gardner<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKvmWGEI/AAAAAAAAAbI/XH6JQgwIPBc/s1600/Gus+Hospital.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528496381638350914" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKvmWGEI/AAAAAAAAAbI/XH6JQgwIPBc/s400/Gus+Hospital.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKXPDHKI/AAAAAAAAAbA/KBN8CJUJgCA/s1600/Gus+Hospital3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528496375098186914" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKXPDHKI/AAAAAAAAAbA/KBN8CJUJgCA/s400/Gus+Hospital3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKBrtpnI/AAAAAAAAAa4/QE-qGQi-K_M/s1600/Gus+Hospital2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528496369312835186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKBrtpnI/AAAAAAAAAa4/QE-qGQi-K_M/s400/Gus+Hospital2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Well here is what could be the cutest melt my heart pictures of my 7, yes 7 month old baby Goose!! And the poor guy had to ring in his 7 month old status needing to get tubes in his ears.....:( The little man has had seven, yes seven ( I'm having deja vu) ear infection since he was born. So Dr. Clayton said it's time he see a ENT--So 4 days later we saw Dr. Beus and the 2 days later we were up at dawn's crack at Utah Valley Hospital with our little man who had the worst night ever...Finally got to bed just before 1 am only to have Mom wake him up at 5:30 am and I couldn't give him a baba ( That's another sad moment...Gus is weaned and I really think it's because it hurt his ears :( It was a little surreal for me to put him in his baby size hospital gown...and also I couldn't keep the smile off my face, Cuz' as you can see he's just ADORABLE!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>It was really fast, I mean I felt like he was out of our sight for like 5 minutes. And happy to report he wasn't to sad coming out of anesthesia, I heard some horror stories about kids really hysterical so I was freaking out a little. But all went great and even by the middle of the day he was napping like he never has before!! And besides having teething symptoms coming on now, He is just so stinkin' Happy!! So thank you Dr. Beus!! And also here at our house Halloween is in full affect, Here's the first of the 7, yes 7 pumpkins we have to carve! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKnkPBdI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/6h5-0OYcbWc/s1600/pumpkins2010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528496379482015186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TLkqKnkPBdI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/6h5-0OYcbWc/s400/pumpkins2010.jpg" /></a><br /></div></div></div></div>Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-48274760802141160262010-09-15T08:40:00.000-07:002010-09-15T09:00:50.307-07:00My baby is already 6 months old!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TJDsYaUbAvI/AAAAAAAAAaw/7dVxGjzRHLo/s1600/DSC06323.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517169447654851314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TJDsYaUbAvI/AAAAAAAAAaw/7dVxGjzRHLo/s400/DSC06323.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">"I'd smile but my gums are killing me and my ear aches"<br /></span><div> </div><div> </div><div>Well were half way to 1 can you believe it!!!!

Dax turned 4 on July 22nd...I know I'm only 3 weeks posting about....Yeah I feel a little crappy about it! Every other year we have a scaled down birthday so this year we celebrated at home w/ just Grand-parents, Aunt Kathleen, our cousins Kinsley & Dave and some close friends that were visiting . We had a favorite at our house Indian Fry bread-it was awesome!!! We played some good ol' badminton in the backyard and had some customized cupcakes I decorated.....yes, I felt really crafty!!! Dax is such a sweetheart, he is really patient w/ Cam ( sometimes...well mostly I wouldn't even be as patient as he is with him) and He just loves baby Goose--always trying to get him to laugh and let's everyone know he is his!! And lastly his favorite sayin' is "holy shoot"--Thanks Mater!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Baby Gus is just getting bigger and bigger! He is topping in at 18lbs and I'll give you the other stats when we go to his appt. later this month. He is teething like a mad man so the poor guy has severe eczema on his hands from chewing on them ! He is just a big jolly boy! Always smiling and even with getting a bath every other day ( he has his mom's crocodile skin) he smells of what we call the "neck-cheese" smell--yeah sounds pretty gross but when your chin rests on your chest it's hard keeping that place moisture-free :) His hair is growing back in and yes folks my baby is staying strawberry blond!! Love it:) </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Mr. Cam is as cute and wild as ever! He is going to be 3 on sunday!! Dayton recently showed him how to play a SpongeBob game on the XBOX and well...we have to set a 30min playtime timer cuz' I am scared to say we have a natural gamer on our hands......I'm from the old school so Mario Bros. is my extent of playing so the fact he can move the two lil' joysticks-1 to walk and the other to look around is crazy--It kinda blows my mind! He is talking alot!! It's taking a while but now he's a chatter-box and we love it!! Gotta figure out a way to get him interested in leaving the nest to go to pre-school...He is my little shadow:) We're headed to Pirate Island tonight so I promise to get some pics up later!! And lastly be careful today...it's Friday the 13th!!!!</div></div></div></div>Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377541348364493623.post-46751969406079985392010-07-27T14:56:00.001-07:002010-07-27T15:06:05.688-07:00Can you spot what these pictures have in common?Here is a picture of Dax at 9 mon old..............<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9X433QZYI/AAAAAAAAAZc/0DI4mC48fNc/s1600/daxpajamas.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498710304622667138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9X433QZYI/AAAAAAAAAZc/0DI4mC48fNc/s400/daxpajamas.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here is a picture of Cameron taken last week....................................Can you spot the difference?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9XIvGxHBI/AAAAAAAAAZU/vaFPpmd2ucs/s1600/campj2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498709477638085650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9XIvGxHBI/AAAAAAAAAZU/vaFPpmd2ucs/s400/campj2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9XINR4jwI/AAAAAAAAAZM/c85m2Zpg1-w/s1600/daxpj1.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 1px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 1px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498709468557905666" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CELDzfQiwjE/TE9XINR4jwI/AAAAAAAAAZM/c85m2Zpg1-w/s400/daxpj1.gif" /></a>Dayton and Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08556602541462037859noreply@blogger.com4
