The Boys Check Ups
Enoch had his 3 year check up on June 18th. He did REALLY well. I was a little nervous about the whole ordeal. He hadn't been to the Doctor in a long time so I really wasn't sure how he would react. His Dr was AWESOME with him and Enoch even lifted up his shirt for the Doc to listen to his heart. It was just awesome. We didn't have any shots this time which was a relief.Enoch had a lot of fun and asks to go to the Hospital all the time now. Its cute. He wasn't nervous about the ER trip either.
Enoch's Stats:
37 Inches - 50%
32 Pounds - 50%
32 Pounds - 50%
Enoch is right where he's supposed to be. :)
Travis just had his check up on July 16th. I had 3 kids that day which made the visit a little more interesting but for the most part, we all survived. :D Travis did really well and actually fell asleep for the whole visit until the Doctor came in to examine him. Even then, he was a peach.Travis's Stats:
25 Inches - 75%
17 Pounds - 75%
17 Pounds - 75%
The Doc was impressed with him and said he's looking awesome. Healthy little guy. :D Then came the shots, he screamed for the shot in each leg and then stopped because they gave him an oral vaccination and he was starving and thought it was food. He did really well.
Enoch's Accident
I like it when Sundays are nice and relaxing, don't you? Church went well, nothing dramatic happened, dinner was nice, the missionaries came for dinner; it was really going well. All I wanted to do after everyone left was curl up on my bed with my hubby and watch a show on tv.
....Needless to say, that didn't happen. Around 8 pm last night, Enoch was playing outside with his cousins. We have this large metal swing in the backyard that kids love to swing on; Enoch isn't a huge fan of it and doesn't really ever play on the thing. Well, his cousins were swinging on it and Enoch got smacked in the mouth by the thing. It was a total accident but when you when you see your child with blood gushing down his face you tend to have some interesting emotions. Sometimes swear words and bad names pass through your mind and you really want to find whoever hurt your child and just smack them. Well, I fought back all of that and just focused on Enoch. Joe took him to the bathroom to clean up the blood and try to figure out just where all of it was coming from. Many wet paper towels later, we discovered that Enoch's Frenulum
(click on link for details) was torn. Its that little flap of skin at the top of your two front teeth. Enoch never shed a tear, the blood just freaked him out a little. Tough kid!
So we drove to the ER. It just looked way to deep not to go. I would much rather go and wait at the ER and gain piece of mind than worry all night long if my kid was going to die or not. Well, not die, but you know what I mean. So we get to the ER at 8:30, get called to triage by 9 and then wait to see a Doctor until 10. Once they called us in to see a Doctor Enoch was just exhausted and wanted to go home. The Doctor came and examined Enoch, checked his jaw for fractures, checked his teeth to see if anything was loose, etc. Everything was just fine. Turns out, since the tear was RIGHT ON the frenulum, he didn't need stitches. Had it been anywhere else, he would have needed them but apparently, the frenulum heals REALLY well and since its in his mouth, it should be healed in 3 days. YAH! So we left the ER around 11 pm.
I'm really glad we decided to go. I never would have thought to check his jaw for fractures, never. We did check right away to see if he had lost any teeth though, that's a given.
First trip to the ER for boy accidents, not too shabby. I was so worried when he woke up this morning that he would be in pain but the little guy is pain free. His upper lip is swollen and there is a little blood blister on his lip but other than that, he's fine.
Here are just a few photos of his little lip. He absolutely refused to let me pull his lip up and to be honest, I don't blame him. Crazy me for asking.

Our Trip To Utah
We were able to go to Utah over the 4th of July weekend with Joe's parents. Well, they drove with Enoch and we flew in with Travis. It was a lot of fun and it was great to see family.
The trip was for Isabella's blessing on Sunday. Isabella was born in May to Joe's cousin Olivia and her husband Todd. Bella is a beautiful little girl and it will be fun to watch her grow. She and Travis are 2 months apart.

A moose we saw on our way to the hike
This is Milo and Enoch. Milo is the son of Anadine who is Olivia's cousin. These two boys are so distantly related yet they look SO much alike. It was too much fun seeing them together.
Here is Enoch smashing up ice at Soulee Boy's SnoShack while we watched the fireworks
We went to visit Lawry's side of the family in West Valley while we were in Utah. It was a lot of fun to see the Doxeys. Enoch had a blast at Uncle Tim's, he was able to see some horses and play on the huge tractors.
We had a lot of fun. We hope to visit again soon.

Enoch is a Big Help
We finally pulled the infant tub out of storage to bathe Travis because he was getting way too big for the bathroom sink. This was the first time we bathed him in it, and I must say, he handled bathing a lot better than Enoch did.
Well, Enoch thought this was the coolest thing ever! Baby brother gets to take a bath in the sink? Too cool! So he had to help, and he was awesome!

And yes, Enoch is "sshhhing" Travis. It was so cute!
Enoch's Birthday Trip to the Zoo
Enoch asked if we could go to the Zoo for his birthday, and so that's what we did! I packed Enoch and Travis up in the car; all the little goodies that make a zoo day easier included.
We were at the Zoo for a very long day but we had SO much fun. Enoch really enjoyed himself and I'm so glad that he did. He really has a soft spot in his heart for any kind of animal; I really cherish that in him because I've always been an animal lover myself. It really is so much fun to see which traits your children pick up from you.

Watching the seals
Enoch's ULTIMATE fave, the El!
Penguins
Imitating the Gorilla
Measuring Up
The Rhino
We actually made it in time to see the Pachyderm Viewing: Enoch was able to see them bathe the Elephants. He was speechless.
