Our Week

John got a new suit! He hasn't had a suit since his mission and has been really wanting one for the last 5 or so years (he always feels really underdressed at baby blessings and baptisms without one). Last Saturday he went to Costco for a few things and came home with a suit. I really wasn't expecting that! He found this suit there for less than $100 dollars for both pieces. He looked really sharp at church the next day. He couldn't be happier with his new purchase.

We started taking our kids to the Lowes Build and Grow workshops. They are really enjoying them. The kids get a little kit with pre-drilled holes and they learn to hammer and build the kit. And it's all free!
Here are a few updates from the last week on our funny little baby...

The HUGGER: This little guy loves to give hugs and kisses. Last week at church he kept going up to this one man (a complete stranger) and giving him big bear hugs around his leg. I'm not sure why he chose this particular guy but he must have felt REALLY loved! It's almost a little embarrasing because he's so comfortable with others and wants to hug everyone, we're just not used to it. But, he's SO sweet and everyone loves him!!!

The SICK boy: Matson got sick this week and on Fri. his lips started turning purple and his breathing was labored. We thought he wasn't getting enough oxygen so we rushed him to the dr. Turns out all of that was because his fever was so HIGH (it was 104.2). His body was trying to combat the fever and pulling blood from his lips (which made them purple) . Turns out he just had a cold and he got a high fever with it. I learned a few new things and we stopped on our way home to buy a new thermometer because ours had quite working and we had no idea his temp. was that high! Poor kid!

The HOODIE stage: During the days of fever he decided that he is in love with his soccer ball hoodie from Grandma Durrant. He wouldn't let us take it off of him. We would change him into jammies and he would insist that we put his hoodie over top of his fleece footy pajamas. If we tried to get it off he would scream and hold onto it and say "my ball". He is one funny boy!
