Memories

I stole this post from my sister, I thought it would be fun. YOU BETTER LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

Here are the rules: 1. add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anthing you remember! 2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me I'll assume you are playing the game and I will come to your blog and leave one about you.

Is it too late to post for 4th of July???

We left almost a week ago and it feels like it's going to take me a week to get caught up. My house is dirty, the car needs washed, we have NO groceries (that's really nothing new) BUT I do have all the laundry done and the bedrooms clean.

We went to La Grande for the 4th of July. If you know us well, that is not shocking at all. While we were there we celebrated Jace's sister Meah's birthday. She's the best. We love you Mea-O.


After the birthday party we headed to Perryland. One of the best places you could ever go camping. It has everything you need and it's clean. Everyone camped for two nights except Carson and I, we stayed at my sister Sarah's house.


We had fun making a 4th of July cake and little cupcakes. We had SOOOO much frosting and experimented a lot, which is half the fun. Sarah's flag cupcakes were everyones favorite. We had a birthday BBQ with Becky and Dave to celebrate little Issac's birthday. We love little Issac and his reaction to some of his gifts. Too bad I didn't have my camera then.


I've been wanting to get my hair done and while I took a nap Jenna did my hair. She did such a good job making it pretty. Then Saturday evening we watched a funny movie and Katelyn, Maeley and Jenna had a short lived slumber party (because Maeley woke up screaming and ended up sleeping with Jace)


It was a fun trip and we can't wait to come back soon. We love LG and being with our family.

Question: What have the Perry's been doing?

Answer: We are adjusting to life as best as we can. In the last month we've discovered Carson and Maeley are complete opposites. He keeps us (mostly me) on our toes. We've had lots and lots of visitors. But mostly we've been hanging out and holding our little one.

Our Bili Baby

Carson has been slowly fighting off jaundice. We had heard of jaundice, but who knew it could be such a big deal. He had a count of 18 then 19, then 16 and now 14. So we were instructed to put a bili blanket on him for the last few days. It has been helping lots. But here are some photos of him before the blankie and with the blankie. The machine is kinda a pain, but worth it.

Little Carson

Maeley was so excited to get to bring Carson home. She HAD to help bring him inside and get him all comfy.

We still need to get pictures of him with his eyes open. More to come...

He's Here!!!

It was early Thursday morning, 4:40am to be exact, May 22nd, 2008, when we left for the hospital. The labor part wasn't too bad

thanks to Jace

and Sarah.
YAY, at 12:44pm Carson Jace Perry was born!!! Weighing 8.5lbs, and 21 inches in length. We were happy to be done with the labor and delivery, but even happier that he is strong and healthy.

Then the fun part came... Grama Wen brought Maeley to the hospital to meet Carson for the first time.

We were wondering how she would react. Would she be jealous, or accepting? You'll have to watch and see...

Still Alive, Just Preoccupied

Obliviously, I'm not the best blogger, but I know I need to update. We haven't fallen off the face of the earth; we've just been pretty busy. We've been out of town for a few weekends for Trae's (Jace's brother) wedding and reception and with all this nice weather, we've been outside and playing lots. And we've been busy, busy busy getting everything ready for the baby.

Anyway I took some photos on Saturday of Maeley with her new little pool. We usually get season passes to Roaring Springs, but this year we didn't because I don't want to take a newborn to the water park and have him sit in the 100 degree weather for a few hours a day. But next year we'll do it again. So instead we bought a few things to entertain Maeley in the backyard. Her favorite is the pool, SHOCKER!!

This is Maeley running into the back yard. She's ready to go and was just telling her daddy to hurry and come "simming"

What do you think Maeley, is it full enough yet?
I don't care....
because I'm going simming.

Jace and Maeley swimming. BTW, it's not in irrigation water, ICK!
