Braxten is 6 months!

On Wednesday Braxten hit the six month mark. My little boy is getting too big. He also had his 6 month check up.  He weighed in at 17 pounds and was 26 3/4 inches. His head was 44.5 cm around. He did so well in his doctors appointment. Dr. Pruitt even told me he wanted to take Braxten home with him because he is the perfect little guy. Braxten does have a stills murmur but it's nothing we need to worry about right now,  so we will see where we're at in three months for his next appointment. Braxten is very mobile. He rolls all over the place and scoots across the floor, mostly in circles. He is a very happy and smiley baby. He loves his big sister and is always happy when she is around. He loves sweet potatoes, oatmeal, bananas, and peaches. He can almost sit up by himself without support.

Braelyn is a very busy 3 year old. This week she has learned to cut with scissors and is learning how to identify letters. She has been spending the week at a weeklong preschool where she has done really well. Our only problem is she is too focused on the other kids to eat her lunch. It has gotten worse as the week has progressed as well. It's really frustrating. I'm going to start a be reward program so we'll see how that goes...

Here are a few pictures from the last couple months:







What is with Braelyn and the duck face??
Until next time!

4th of July Jello

My 4th of July jello has become an essential at the Hutchison family 3rd of July South Salt Lake firework party. I decided to make it today and share the recipe with you guys. So here it goes!!

What you will need:
Large Box Lemon cook and serve jello
Large box strawberry or raspberry Jello
3 egg yolks
3/4 c. sugar
Water
Cool whip or whipping cream
Blueberries
Strawberries and/or Raspberries



Cook the Lemon pudding according to package directions (here is where you need the egg yolks, sugar, and 3 cups water)



While you are mixing that boil 2 cups water and mix in a large bowl with the strawberry or raspberry jello. Add 2 cups cold water and set aside


Continue mixing the lemon pudding. Once it boils and thickens, mix it with the raspberry/strawberry jello and pour into a 9x13 dish. Put it in the refrigerator and allow to gel for approximately 6 hours


After the jello has hardened, frost with the cool whip and decorate with the fruit. 


See! I couldn't even get a picture before people started diving in!
