Wedding & Family Fun!

Jeffrey, Boston, and I had the opportunity to go to Utah this past weekend for my older brother Joshua's wedding. The drive took about 5 1/2 hours, which isn't too long, but when you have a baby who can't be still...it is forever! Boston cried for about 2 1/2 hours total, and slept for about 2, and the other hour, he played, and read with me! It was so weird to go back to Salt Lake City. I feel like I left forever ago, but it hasn't even been a full year yet. We got there Thursday night around 9 p.m. Friday morning we had my brothers sealing at 11 a.m. I left Boston with my adorable little sisters Chelsea, and Marissa. I was nervous the whole time I was in the sealing, because I didn't know how he was! Ha ha over protective mom? Maybe.  It was a beautiful sealing, and I didn't think I would cry, but the minute I walked in the room and sat down I started to tear up. I love my brother so much, and growing up he was my best friend(even though sometimes we didn't get along). He has the most beautiful wife ever now. Her name is Jourden...yes that is her name. Which automatically means she is the best, cause that is the coolest name ever, especially since its even spelled with a U! After the sealing we took some pictures....

 Yes I know some of them are sideways, for some reason it won't let me do anything about it! I have the most beautiful family, and I am so grateful. We had cafe rio for the luncheon, which was great! Then we set up for the reception. Chelsea needs to be a wedding planned or something, cause she was all over how the tables need to be set up ha ha. The reception was nice! It was great to see family and friends I had not seen in a long time. Saturday Jef, Boston and I got to go shopping with my Dad, and Chelsea(Marble was sick). My dad bought Boston the CUTEST stuff. Two hats, a coat, 4 pairs of socks, a shirt, and Sperry shoes!!! WE were soooo grateful! After shopping we went to say goodbye to the rest of the family and went on our way! Boston slept almost the whole ride home! I am so happy we got to go! And I can't wait to see them all at Christmas!

"Those" Moments

I haven't updated this in forever! Obviously i had Boston already. He is now a little over 4 months old. He weighs almost 14 pounds and is almost 26 inches long. Our little tall skinny boy! He is absolutely hilarious and so much fun! He will play peek-a-boo with you for ever, he hates to watch t.v.(he is to squirmy and active to sit and watch anything), he loves playing with our computer or tablet. One thing I am super excited about is how big of a daddy's' boy he is becoming. If Jef is home(and Boston isn't hungry tired or needs a diaper change)he immediately wants him! When he is eating and he knows his daddy is in the room, he will stop eating and look around till Jef talks to him. Its so super cute(also maybe a bit annoying). But we love him so much! He sleeps pretty well too, usually only wakes up 1-2 times a night now. He also is TEETHING! Which is really not fun cause he is pretty grumpy now. But he is constantly gnawing on his hand, or ours, and drooling a LOT, and his gums are all red. Its sad but exciting. His hair is growing in very nicely, and very dark! His eyes are still pretty dark brown, but with a little hint of green, which Jef is very happy about. He is trying so hard to crawl, but he frustrates himself so its sad(but funny).He also tried food for the first time! H loved avocados, but they made his tummy hurt so we have to wait on those for a few more moths. He hated his rice cereal, even with milk in it, so we will have to try something else!  Jef and I are both going to school(technically i don't "go", but i do online). We are ready to be done already which is too bad since we have two years left. I am really enjoying my major so far. Homeland Security is super fascinating, and I am learning a lot. When i decided to do online school i though it would be easy, i was soo wrong! I think they assume I have nothing else to do, so they just give you tons of assignments, and make you read like 300 pages a week(each class) bleh! But its alright, it keeps me busy. So my blog post title is "'those' moments", I am referring to those moments where you are just so happy with your life, so happy with your family, and just feel so blessed! I had one of "those" moments today while playing with Boston. He was in a particularly happy laughing mood, and we were having a great time! Jef was texting me and all he said was a simple "I love you" but it really got to me. I started to tear up thinking about all the blessings I have. I have the best husband who is always so kind and thoughtful, I have put him through so much, and after it all he just says its OK, and he still loves me and treats me well. He is also a fantastic dad. I also have the cutest sweetest baby ever. He makes me so happy all the time. The tiredness and grumpiness goes away when he smiles at me. They both make me feel my Heavenly Fathers love so much. I also have an amazing family(in laws included). I was nervous when Jef and I got married that his family would not like me, but they have been the absolute best! They welcomed me in, and have been nothing but caring and loving. I am the luckiest girl! My own family is amazing as well. I miss them so much! Jef and I are loving our ward, and never want to leave it! Jef is the Elders Quorum secretary which he is enjoying, and I am...nothing. Which is good for me haha. Boston makes church a lot more fun for everyone around us(loud). Everyone in the ward is so nice, and welcoming and fun. We couldn't ask for a better ward!Also i made a delicious apple crisp for Jef... it was good! Jef said because i learned to make that, i didn't have to master anything else. I accepted! haha

Long Overdue

So, lots is different from the last time i blogged, well not really, I am just a lot farther along now :)
 Lets see...updates....
Jeffrey and I moved to Laramie Wyoming where he goes to school for accounting and also works for the UW athletics department. He is a busy chap, and I am very proud of him for doing so much!!
I currently do absolutely nothing :) I have been looking for a job, and there are a lot of places hiring, but apparently no one wants a pregnant girl who can only work for a couple months! psh who would have thought. But I do have an interview with an insurance company tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.I have however been enjoying doing all the cooking and cleaning. Jef and I decided that I am officially a mother. Part of me loves that, but part of me doesn't ha ha.
I am 30 weeks along with my baby boy Boston, and I am so excited to have him! He is such a squirmer. He is always moving and punching and kicking me, which was fun at first but now it kinda hurts. He also loves to sit right on my bladder, which is also a blast!! But I love him none the less. Jef and I love the little moments when we lay in bed and feel our little man kick us while Jef talks to him, its precious.
We were also called to be the Marriage and Family Relations teachers for Sunday School in our ward, which is fun, but also wierd seeing as we JUST had our one year.... speaking of which..
JEF AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR ONE YEAR!!!
So weird right? THe year went by so fast, also so slow...makes sense to me. We went to Cheyenne and had Old Chicago pizza, and looked at the pets at Petco(which is super fun), then on our actual anniversary(which was a sunday) we went to church like usual, then watched LOTR(Frodo has been with us throughout our whole marriage), then slept for THREE hours haha, then had an amazing dinner of Choice steak, broccoli/carrots, a potato, and virgin margaritas. High class. It was fun. Our cake was disgusting though so we only had one bite ha.
10 weeks to go before the little man is here, so i will put up a picture :)

There finally you can see my baby bump... this was me at 28 1/2 weeks, so I am only a tiny bit bigger...but you get the idea :)
