Layton City Christmas Lights

Every Year we pack up the kids and take a short drive to see the Layton City lights. They always seem to have something new each year and this year they had you drive through a tunnel of lights and then onto the main part of the lights. The Santa sign is new and I think a cute touch to make seeing the lights more fun. They've always had the nativity scene and I love seeing it because it makes you remember the true meaning of Christmas. I love going to see the Layton lights because you stay nice and warm in your car and you can still see everthing they have. Merry Christmas everyone!

Justin's food allergies

So, when Justin got his tonsils out we had them do an allergy scratch test too. The result came back that he is allergic to tomato's, soy, boxwood bushes, and we knew about the peanuts. I was so surprised about the tomatoes because he'd never had a reaction to them before. Soy is in everything and peanuts are now easy to avoid.

Well, the other day I made spaghetti and Justin broke out in hives for two days. It was not fun for both of us. We had to give him Benadryl every 4-6 hours and put Benadryl cream on him at the same time. These pictures are what the hives looked like after the medicine and cream kicked in. What's hard is the spaghetti sauce I used had soy in it. So, he got a double dose of what he's allergic too. So far I think he's ok with soy but we're now going to have to watch what he eats again.

Cutest little boy!

So, not much has happend lately that's way exciting but there is always something that my boys do that make me laugh or grit my teeth and smile. One of my sweet little boys has been doing this to me almost everyday. He's not two yet and he's a little shorter than Dakota... his name is Jaden and boy has he hit the terrible two's early. he's into every single thing and when I catch him he gets this funny little grin that makes me want to laugh but I know if I do he's going to think it's ok to do it again. The latest instance was he opened my laptop one day and had fun taking all the keys off of my keyboard. it's a good thing I have a brainiac for a husband cuz he put my keyboard back together in a snap. I don't know why Jeromy and I weren't fuming but we kept our cool and I in the end only one key was broken... the shift button on the right side of my keyboard. It's a good thing their are two of those buttons.

One of the things that make me laugh about Jaden is he is now attcahed to a hard plastic robotic dinosaur that growls and makes noise when you touch a button. He's so attached that he sleeps with the Dino. He is so cute putting it to bed. He pats it's head and makes sure that the Dino's head is on the pillow and he's covered up with blankets. I wonder what he'll sleep with next? At least the Dinosaur has and on/off switch. He makes me laugh so hard. He's such a sweet little boy and loves his brothers so much. I don't know what I would do without him in our family. We love ya Jade!
