What we've been up to...

Thayne and I wanted to go jet skiing before it got too cold, so we called up my little brother, Cort, to see if he wanted to go. Thanks to Karley, we were able to get him a blind date with a girl named Tana! We had a blast playing on the jet skiis at Benson Marina :) We laughed our heads off as Cort tried to wakeboard with a surf board...pretty hard!!! It was his first time ever trying to wakeboard or surf, and he actually did a really good job.
Thayne and I stopped at a little island near the Cutler Dam to check it out :)
This is Cort and Tana.A week later, Cort and B joined us as we went jet skiing with the twins. The girls had a ton of fun! Thayne even let Taylor control the gas at one point! Haha! She should've thrown him off! We also took David's (Thayne's brother) peddle boat out with us to cruise around in. Needless to say, we enjoyed ourselves :)
We went on a little overnight camping adventure with Clint and Karley. All of us had a good time playing on the jet skiis and watching Clint moon us as he wakeboarded on the surf board...haha :) After the sun went down, we loaded up the jet skiis with our camping gear and headed down the river. We camped at the little island on the river just above the Cutler Dam. It was a ton of fun! Thanks Hope and Valerie for watching our kids!

Clint pretending to eat it! I think the best part was watching the boys get as excited as kids at Christmas whenever they would catch a fish :)
Clint haha!APX threw an awesome backend party! We went to dinner in SLC at the Macaroni Grill. Then headed to the Salt Lake Country Club. They had valet parking and red carpet pictures outside as you pulled up! Sorry, I only have one picture from that night! I thought this ice sculpture was really neat :) Inside they had different rooms set up with Texas Hold 'Em, Poker, Black Jack, and live entertainment. We decided to watch the live entertainment. They had The Salt Lake Sports Comedy guys, a magician, hula dancers, and a flame thrower. It was awesome!!! I loved all of it! And, people actually walked around carrying drinks and hors d'oeurvres on platters! At the end of the night, you traded in your poker chips for raffle tickets for a chance to win some really amazing prizes! One of the prizes we tried to win was called the Swag Bag. It included the opportunity to meet Dancing with the Stars, an all day beauty consultation, and gift cards to tons of different places. Thanks again, Hope, for watching our kiddos!
Our girls turned 2 on Oct.15! We blew up 12 helium balloons and 15 more by mouth and spread them across the living room for them to see when they woke up. We got them building blocks, shoes, a play doh cake making kit, and a horse poster. Cort and B stopped by with their gifts. Cort bought them a playhouse (it even has a working doorbell)! B bought them each a movie (including her childhood favorite, Strawberry Shortcake) and a couple of adorable outfits. Then we met up with Cam (Clint and Karley's daughter), Alyssa and Jaden to play at the Fun Park on the Soft Play area. Afterwards, we treated each of them with a Sprite. After naptime, we headed up to Thayne's parents' house to have a birthday party. We had finger foods, sugar cookies, cups of dirt, and cupcakes. They unwrapped their gifts and then we ended the party with horse rides!!! Thanks everyone! They're really enjoying their gifts!
Clint and Karley got them these strollers...and they love them!!!Valerie and her boyfriend, Kyle!Karley and CamAlexis (front), Taylor and Thayne Wade and Jaden

Looks like you guys have been busy and having lots of fun! So I wanted to share my boys' lab results with you since you are experiencing similar problems! Trey's came back normal and Krew's came back with a positive to lactose, meaning the lactose in his diet could be throwing off his poop! I did take milk out of Trey's diet when he was around 2 and it did help so maybe you could start with that! And when you take them to the doctor you really need to push him to do something because I've been in multiple times where the doctor just kind of brushes it off like it's no big deal. Good luck!
