Idaho Life

Since we left North Carolina and the military behind about six months ago, I figured it's about time for an update on our life in Idaho. 

Sean started school in August and he is likes it so far. He really enjoys his engineering classes... english and history, not so much :) But he is doing awesome in all his classes (is anyone surprised here?! Yeah, I didn't think so.)

He works for Direct TV at their call center in Pocatello, it's called Convergys, and he thinks that it could quite possibly be the worst job in the world. It works great with school though, because they are really flexible with hours around his classes, and it pays the bills, so it has been a good job for him. Oh, and we get free Direct TV so thats pretty cool.

It has been awesome being close to the Wallace's, I like having my sister around to hang with! I have missed her while we were moving around the country for the last 5 years. It's good to have her just 2 miles away now.

Clayton is growing and learning so much everyday. I wish he would slow down a little bit! I can't believe that he isn't my little baby anymore!! I am amazed daily by him and and the things he learns and accomplishes. He keeps us laughing and he keeps us on our toes! Next month he will be 2 (yes, YEARS!) and I haven't been able to wrap my head around that yet... I am still in denial.

Life is good. 

Heavenly Father continues to bless our family. We are so grateful! 

Fall Family Pictures

Tifani took some family pictures for us today.

They turned out great! The fall colors are so beautiful right now!

Happy October!

I took this picture this morning his lip is looking so much better!

It's still swollen though, hopefully that will go away soon!

Shoshone Falls

Today we took a drive up to Twin Falls to see the Shoshone Falls that are there. The falls were pretty dry this year but it was still really awesome! It was warm (almost too warm) outside and the views were beautiful. Next time we go, we will kayak like the people in the pictures. It looked like so much fun! It was a perfect day, and a much needed day of adventure and fun for our family!

 

Clayton shoveling pudding in his mouth! He's funny!

proof that Sean and I were there too... in the form of a bad squinty-eyes picture.

Healing

Clayton's stitches were only in for about 6 days. We woke up early this morning to take him to the hospital to get them out. They did a conscious sedation to remove the stitches in the O.R. so Sean and I had to wait outside the room for him! It was really fast though and only took about 15 minutes. The plastic surgeon did a good job of closing his cut, his lip is lined up perfectly. It's still a little swollen but it looks better everyday! I am so glad he is on the mend!

Waiting for him to go in the Operating Room

No more stitches!

I love his one raised eyebrow in this picture!

Here it is a few days later, after we removed the steri strips 

Scout Mountain

We went for a drive today, up Scout Mountain. At the top there was a small nature trail and an overlook that we checked out. The weather was perfect. The fall colors were beautiful! It was a fun trip. 

Stitches

It's been a rough couple of months for the Boggs family! 

Thursday night Clayton was riding a tricycle at Tifani's house and he fell and split his lip open. 

I was devastated. 

I felt like a horrible Mom. 

Clayton was so brave the whole time though. He is such a tough dude! 

We spent the evening in the E.R. with a plastic surgeon, while Clayton got in stitched up.

He was such a rockstar throughout the procedure. They sedated him so he wouldn't fight. That part made me cry (ok, so I was crying the whole time, but I didn't like that part.) 

Clayton was a trooper.

He is doing great now. It hasn't affected his eating or sleeping or anything. He gets his stitches out next wednesday and hopefully the scarring will be minimal. 

Now that all 3 of us have had surgery this year, I am really hoping that we can be done with hospitals for a while.

More Clay-Cessories

This little man is so funny with his accessories.

He makes me smile about a million times a day (or more!)
