Brock's birth family came to visit Brock over the weekend. Grandma Gossett and his two aunts, Jessica and Kaylee came too. Mommy Heather was not able to come because of school. We missed her very much.

Our Crazy Weekend
Last weekend the boys and I headed down to Cedar City to visit my sister Taylor and her husband Abbel. Randy had to work so it was just me and the boys. It was Taylor and Abbel's spring break, so it was perfect I went down. They are both attending SUU and have lived down there for the past 3 years. Abbel had to work most of the time so Taylor, the boys and I hung out. We went to this awesome park called Park Discovery. Brock loved it! We went to the SUU campus where Taylor is studying broadcast journalism. She showed us the set where she anchors, and all the "behind the scenes" technical stuff. She also is a host on a radio station down there, we saw where she does her magic there as well. It was a lot of fun to see what she is doing. One of the nights Abbel watched both the boys so Taylor and I could go shopping. It was awesome. Thanks Abbel. Taylor is a pretty good cook. She kept us well fed. We attempted to make homemade donuts. They tasted better than they looked. haha. It was a great get-a-way! Much needed. Thanks Taybel! When we returned from Cedar 3 hours later we got back in the car and headed up to Burley, Idaho to visit Randy's dad and step mom. I forgot the camera, so I have no pictures. It was a crazy weekend, but a lot of fun. Now we are Home Sweet Home:)

Date Night with Brock
Brock and I went on a date night with his cousin Kailee and his aunt Angie to see Disney on Ice. Randy and Brody stayed back at home to have a little male bounding time. Brock and Kailee were excited to ride on the train (Trax).
Aunt Angie bought Brock and Kailee cotton n' candy. The candy came with these Mickey Mouse hats. They loved looking like Mickey Mouse.
Finally the show started. It was spectacular! Brock was glued the whole time. We saw Mickey Mouse and his friends, all the princesses, all the villians and then he saw......

Welcome Home Randy!
Gosh...it's good to have Randy home! Some of you are probably wondering, where did he go?. Well, Randy has been working out of town for the past 8 months. Randy has been working in the construction industry for a while now and these last couple of years have been really scary, due to the economy. We are so GRATEFUL for the wonderful company he works for to keep him busy, even though it was out of town. We count our blessings every day for the work in Castledale. Randy started working out of town last June until now. He would wake up Monday morning at 5:00 am, load up his truck and drive 2 1/2 hours to Castledale, Utah. He would return home on Thursday night, late. I was OK with it at first, because it was just me and Brock. Then another miracle came into our lives, Brody:) That's when it got hard. K, that came out wrong. Brody didn't make it hard, I was out numbered. I felt like a single woman, doing it all by myself. It wasn't easy. I give a standing applaud to all the single women out there doing it alone. It was only 4 days out of the week he was gone, but it seemed like forever. In a nut shell....We are so happy to have him home every night. Our home is back to the way I remember. The boys love it, and I love it. Welcome Home Daddy!

Growing Boys

I took the boys (I love saying "the boys") in today for their check-ups with Dr. Mumford. Brock had his 3 year check-up. He is doing awesome. Dr. Mumford was so impressed with him. He passed the eye exam and pointed to the right shapes when he was asked what they were. Brock had to get one shot today. We let Brody go first so Brock could watch. Then the nurse asked Brock if he wanted a turn. To her surprise he said "yes". As soon as his pants were down the nurse gave him the shot. With tears in his eyes and a surprised look on his face he said "did she just give me a shot?" I said "yes". When he knew it was true that's when the crying began. Luckily it didn't last long at all. He did awesome. Brock is a growing boy! Check out his stats:
Brody is made of steel! He did awesome at his check-up today as well. Dr. Mumford was impressed with his growth. They were surprised when they measured his height, they said "that can't be right?", so they measured again and it was the same outcome. He did have to get 3 shots today. He is a tough little boy, only cried a few seconds. Check out his unbelievable stats:

Our 2 Little Heart-Breakers
Today while I was listening and relaxing in Church, I couldn't help but think about how blessed we are to have these 2 beautiful and perfect little boys. I used to think of our infertility as a negative thing, but lately I have been THANKING our Heavenly Father for our infertility. It truly is a blessing to us. Because of IT, we have been blessed with these 2 amazing boys through the miracle of Adoption. We are proud to be apart of it, and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Just look how Good-lookin' they both are! :)

Brody is 2 Months Today
Brody is the cutest baby! Wait, so was Brock, but today it's all about Brody. Brody has changed a lot over the last few weeks. He is getting a little chub to his bones, which I like. He is cooing and smiling a ton. He is kicking his legs 100 miles per hour. I have noticed that when he sleeps he loves to have his head turned on his left side. He is most comfortable that way. I know when he's hungry and when he wants time to him self. He is sleeping all the way through the night! :) :) There is not one thing I can complain about. He is perfect in every way. We are so lucky Chanel chose us to be his parents. We thank her and Devin everyday for placing the cutest little baby to be apart of our family. We love you.
