Happy Days!

I was so excited to get Pace's cast off today, so I can't imagine how Pace felt. He was sure a trooper while he had it on!!! After Pace finally got use to his cast, he didn't let it slow him down at all. He would still climb to the tallest slide at the park, wrestle with Jaygen (and he would be the one to start it), climb his crib and jump off, "rodeo" all around the house, etc., etc., etc.! Pace is a fun kid with a great personality!

The process to get the cast off scared him, but when the doctor fired up the saw to cut it off, I was a bit nervous too! When we got home, I wanted to take a picture of him holding his cast, but Pace wouldn't even hear of it. He started to cry and wanted that thing out of site. I don't blame him!!!

Our Superhero/Rock Star turned 4!!

Jaygen turned 4 years old on September 21. Since the boys birthdays are only 5 days apart, we get to do a lot of partying around here. It is almost like Christmas in September. Jaygen had his request in months ago for what he wanted for his birthday. He for sure wanted a guitar and anything batman. He wasn't going to let us forget it either! After all his presents were opened, he had a big smile on his face, so I guess he thought he came out pretty good! We had a fun day hanging out and playing with all his new stuff. Jaygen loved his batman cake (thank goodness it didn't take 3 hours like the horse cupcakes) and he and Pace took turns blowing out the candles over and over again. Our boys are lots of fun!!! Jaygen was also excited because since it was Sunday, they got to sing happy birthday to him in primary. Happy 4th birthday Jaygen. We love you!!!Jaygen got to take cupcakes to preschool to celebrate his birthday. Of course they had to be batman! He was really excited to take them.

A Sign of a True Fisherman!

We decided to take the boys fishing to try out their new fishing poles they got from Grandma and Grandpa Mullen. We headed up to Vernon Reservoir for a quick camp out and hopefully catch a fish or two. We had a great night camping, and the next morning Todd got Jaygen and Pace's poles all ready to head for the water. The wind was blowing like crazy and was pretty cold. Then it started to rain a little, but we were all still excited to go fishing.

After having our poles in the water most of the morning, it looked like Jaygen FINALLY got a bite on his. Todd told him to reel his line in and see if he had anything. Jaygen said, "Dad, will you just reel it in? I am eating my snack." I guess after you have to wait for so long the excitement disappears!

Pace had the best time just reeling his line in (over and over and over again)! He kept wanting his line cast out just so he could reel it in again. It was really no surprise that he never got a bite! :)

Despite the bad weather, we all had a great time and both boys said they can't wait for the next fishing trip. Hopefully we will have better luck!

Our Little Buckaroo Turned 2!!

Pace turned two years old today (September 16). Wow, how time flies!! Pace LOVES horses and bulls. He and Jaygen are always playing "rodeo". So, we decided to give him a horse he could ride for his birthday. He has still been having a hard time getting around with his cast on, but when he saw the horse this morning, he took off walking and couldn't climb on fast enough. Todd and I just looked at each other and laughed! :) Pace loved the horse so much he wouldn't even get off to open his other presents. He had to sit on his horse to open them. Pace is always so much fun. We sure love him! HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY PACE!!!!




For Pace's birthday cake, I wanted to try and make some cute horse cupcakes I had seen. Well, try is the key word. After three hours all I had done was two horses - yes two - and I wasn't even sure they looked like a horse! Who was I kidding trying to be a cake decorator?! Pace loved them and knew exactly what they were suppose to look like. When he saw them he started neighing! That made it all worth it! Pace (and big brother Jaygen) had fun blowing out the candles. What a fun day! :)

The Update!

We headed back to the doctor today since Pace's leg didn't seem to be getting any better, and sure enough, it is broken after all. They did x-rays again and found the break. At least now he is on the mend! Pace spent the afternoon hitting stuff against his cast because it would make loud noises. We will see how much fun he thinks it is after a few days! :) Of course we had to choose a red cast - Go Delta Rabbits!!!!

Boys Will Be Boys!!!

What else do you expect from little boys, right!? Pace and Jaygen both love to wrestle and rough house. It is a daily occurrence with them. This morning it got the best of little Pace. He was jumping off the couch (over and over again) when he hurt his leg. I was sure it was broken because of the constant screaming and he wouldn't move it or put pressure on it. So off to the ER we went. Luckily it wasn't broken. The doctor said he has a severe sprain and he put a splint on it. Hopefully in a couple of days Pace will be back to running around again - I am sure jumping off the couch too! :) We love you Pace!!
