The next couple of weeks are pretty big study weeks for Cloyd. He is finally ready to take his final exams for his Private License. Tomorrow he will meet with Micki (I think she is the head of the flight dpt) to do his "Stage 3 Exam" and then next Wednesday he will meet with an official FAA guy for his "Final Check Ride". Yeah!!
After he gets his private license he can then start flying for his commercial license. He is so excited and I am so happy for him, he has worked so hard.
It means a lot more solo flying and more cross country long distance flying for him. Maybe he will fly down to Kanab one of these times. His flight instructor flies all over the place with his other students. I guess we will see all the fun and exciting places he gets to fly over the coming months.
James is doing well. He is rolling all over the place, and occasionally at night I will find that he has rolled onto his stomach. He is growing like a weed and I swear changes every day. Lately he has been extremely cuddly, I love it.

Pictures
Here are a few pictures of our family and of James
James and Shauna at the family reunion in Alton, he was so tired. 
James with Grandma Jones at the park
James at the parade, he wasn't to interested in it yet, although he thought the fire trucks were pretty coolFamily Vacation
I know, I know, I am a slacker at blogging, but I hope I make up for it now.
The fourth of July weekend we went down south to visit our family. There was so much going on that we felt like we couldn't miss it and thankfully Cloyd had a few parts to sell so that we could afford it.
We left last Wed and went to St. George to see Lane's new baby (cloyd's brother). She is adorable. She is the first girl after three boys and has tons of hair. While we were there we went swimming in their pool at like 11 at night. It was so much fun and James loved it. They had an infant swimming ring that you put the baby in and they float. I was a bit nervous at first but when I saw that it was pretty safe it was great.
Then on Thursday we went to Kanab.
Friday was on course the 4th of July. It was pretty fun to be in Kanab and hang out with my family. We went to the parade and then up to the park to see all the booths there. My mom and dad were in charge of the drinks for KHS Booster Club and we helped out up there. Then later that evening we ate bbq beef sandwiches at my house and lit fireworks in our yard before we went and saw the big fireworks the city does every year, not bad for a small town. James loved the fireworks, he was in such awe.
The next day was a busy day for us. In the early morning we took family pictures. My sister in law Shauna actually took them and she did such an awesome job. I couldn't have gotten better pictures done by a professional. She has such a great eye for a good shot. James was pretty cooperative as well. After family pictures Cloyd went to a golfing "tournament" for his family reunion. While he golfed Shauna and I went up to Alton and took some pictures of James. They turned out totally adorable. Then in the afternoon we went to Cloyd's "Roundy Reunion". The food was pretty good and the stories were funny. After the reunion we had to jet back to Kanab for Kylee's 2nd birthday (Megan's little girl). I also had a class reunion this day but figured that family stuff was more important.
Then Sunday after church we came home. Whew! What a weekend.

4 months
We went on a picnic up Spanish Fork Canyon a couple of weeks a go. It was gorgeous. James loved swinging on the swings with his dad. He is babbling up a storm now. He loves it when we talk to him he has so much to tell us. Very cute
James is eating cereal and fruit now and loves it. I never thought is would be this easy to feed a baby. It always looked harder in the movies I guess. When he is ready to eat another bite he opens his mouth wide a eats it down
He is able to roll mostly by himself from front to back and back to front.It is amazing to watch James grow into his personality and to see him develop. I love it. At is 4 month check-up he weighed 15 lbs 14 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. He was in the 70 percentile on both of these, but his head was in the 40 percentile.
Sicky Poo
Cloyd had his appendix out this last Sunday. He has had stomach problems et pain in his right lower abdomen for some time now, he thinks since his mission. But, it has never been anything to serious in fact the pain usually goes away pretty quickly. Except on Sunday it was a different story the pain wouldn't go away and got worse. So, off to the ER we go, luckily one of my favorite surgeons was on this weekend and he took care of it.
When he pulled the appy out he found that it was not only acute appendicitis but chronic, as there was a significant amount of scar tissue around it. Go figure all these years of stomach problems was because of one little appy. The dr also gave the rest of his stomach a clean bill of health saying that is was very normal looking. whew!

Now it is just getting him back to normal. It may take him a few days to get over the pain and to be able to lift again. He is really having a hard time not being able to hold James for to long let alone lift him.

Week 11
Week 12
I am still awed at how much James changes in just one week.
The picture of James in his swing is a 12 week picture. I am still trying to figure out how to put pictures on with text.
He is so cute and is so happy when he figures out how to do something new. Yesterday he started making the toys go around and make noises. He loves it.

Back to Work
Well, it is official I am a full-time working mother and its really not as bad as I thought. I went back to work last Monday and James is adjusting quite wonderfully. I think he is getting the hang of being with dad when I'm gone. It is very helpful that he loves his dad and has had a special bond with him from the beginning.
I thought the first day of work was going to be awful. Everyone kept saying that I was going to cry and they would have tissues everywhere. I felt sad to leave James but I didn't cry. I was actually happy to be back to work. Although the last couple of hours were agony. I just wanted to hold my baby and kiss him all over. I imagine it will always be like that though.
I am greatful for my husband and the great care he takes of our son. I never have to worry. He actually sleeps better for Cloyd than for me when I'm home, weird.
