$339

That is the grand total amount that Perry and I have made from selling the stuff we don't want to move! Isn't that awesome! What helped is that we had a yard sale today from 8am to 3pm and made $94 from that alone! Yay! We might of made more than that but I can't think of anything else we might have sold but 339 is what I can remember.

Camping.

It was Grants first time camping. We went to good ole Beaver Dick Park (Terrible name, great place). It's free camping and its clean and just a wonderful place. We just stayed one night and had foil dinners on the fire that turned out fantastic, some marshmallows, and in the morning we cooked breakfast with our iron skillet (pancakes, eggs, and bacon, with a peach) Yum! Grant was a little disturbed the first time he woke up because he didn't recognize the tent as a normal place to be when one wakes so he cried but the rest of the night he was snuggling with me and probably just loved that. We really enjoyed the outing and were in much need of camping. Luckily we get to camp at Whiskeytown lake in a couple weeks in Redding, CA, and I think on my birthday! Woohoo. Fun! We will probably boat a little too. How lucky can we be. Visiting family is the best.

OUch!

Pinched nerve in the upper left region of my back, near my spine. OUCH! It hurts like crap. I can barely pick up let alone feed Grant. Luckily we have some stored breast milk and Perry is finally home from school and work. The nurse says to take 2-3 tablets of 200 mg of Advil and use a heat pad and Perry to massage the area and repeat. I really hope this works. I'm pretty sure I got it from a combination of side lye nursing on a air mattress because I fall asleep nursing him that way. Ugh. I will be more careful in the future.

Moving.

Perry and I will be moving to Henderson, NV August 13. My mom keeps making it apparent that we need to start packing. I think she is right because in 3 weeks my parents are coming for graduation and they will be taking most of our stuff with them, since we will move in with them. Its only temporary of course because Perry will be student teaching. I'm excited to be around my mom mostly cuz I'm a mamma's girl. I have a dilemma though. I will be selling our jogging stroller and I don't know if I should sell the car seat to go with it and buy one that stays in the car or buy a stroller with a car seat again and have one that stays in the car... I'm just not sure.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'....huh! Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'!


So on June 28th Grant rolled over again but from his back to his stomach!... Which harder to do by the way. Anytime he is on the floor he constantly does it.. but his dilemma is that he can't figure out how to roll back onto his back. He hates tummy time so its kind of funny. He has rolled from his stomach to his back but only twice. He doesn't quite have that down. But we are so proud of our little guy. Here is a short video I took this morning of him rolling over.

Sickies



So Grant and I are both sick. Perry was sick and we believe we caught something from Amber and Trey when they visited. Oh well. So it is Grant's first cold and he coughs and sneezes and its just really sad to watch. Also coupled with that Grant had a his immunizations a couple of days ago. He was scared of the nurse and she took her sweet time giving him the multiple shots. I would have appreciated a more swift shot giving. So sad and heart breaking to watch his distraught and surprised cry each time a new thing stuck him in the leg. Ugh I can't think about it! So he was sensitive emotionally from that but also his legs became really sore so he cried whenever we changed his diaper or picked him up wrong or what not. Tylanel really helped. We have a humidifier in the bedroom to help relieve his congestion and his cough. Also it helps Perry and I to not cough at night too. Although Grant is somewhat used to me coughing while I nurse him and didn't even wake while laying next to me this morning when I was hacking away. This sickness is definitely better than having strep.. let me tell ya!! Also its amazing how Grant can cough and wake himself up and just fall right back asleep. I think he is getting better though since I didn't hear him really cough last night. The perk about Grant's sickness is he is super cuddly! Above are some pics of that.
Here is a video of Grant lovin' his daddy making him laugh.

Perry's First Father's Day




Perry was so excited to be a father on father's day. Grant gave him a basketball and some avocados. They are Perry's favorite at the moment, and he has shared his guacamole with me. It has been delicious. He was kind of upset that the men didn't get anything from our ward, since on mother's day the women always get something. Overall though I think it was a good day. I also called my dad and had a good little chat. I appreciate my father and all he has done for me in his life and I realize the sacrifices he has made for our family more than ever now that I have a son. Happy Father's Day!
