Saturday Night Fun!

Saturday night we were invited to hang out with some of Dave's friends from the mission. Alberto and Sarah and their twins (AJ and Alli), and Eric and Dianna and their 2 girls. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to get to know them better and let the guys remember some of their mission memories! It's too bad that Sarah and Alberto live in St George, they sure would be fun to have as neighbors! Maybe in a few years we could move down there! Great idea!

New Busy Life!

So I started my new life as a wife, mom, and an employed nurse! Boy has it been insane. So my shift is 3pm-3am, boy it would be perfect if I didn't have to be up early with Josh! I've always enjoyed working at night, but it sure screws up my sleeping cycle! It's been pretty good this last week because I've had Dave home with me to be able to watch Josh. This coming week though is Dave's first week of school! So now I am just trying to find some babysitters! I need babysitters for only a few hours a week, but I'm nervous to have other people watching Josh! It's a weird feeling!

Anyway, before I started work this week, Dave and I decided to have some fun so we went to Surf-N-Swim here in Layton. It was a lot of fun. I was suprised to see how well Josh did at the pool. We would take turns holding Josh in the pool, and ride the waves. Here are some pictures of Josh and Dave. Josh got so relaxed he fell asleep on Dave. It was so cute!

Today was an exciting day for me. The last week we would go get Josh out of his crib and he'd be laying on his back (he sleeps on his belly...I know I'm a bad mom for letting him sleep on his stomach!). We were so excited to see that he rolls over so we would try to get him to do it on the floor, but he NEVER would do it for us. I guess he just wanted to roll over without letting us see him. Well today after his afternoon nap, I again found him on his back, so I rolled him back over on his belly and he rolled right back onto his back! I was so excited to see him roll! He is 5 1/2 months old and he FINALLY rolled over for me! It was neat to see! It's amazing how fast he is growing! Next thing I know he will be crawling! I don't think I'm ready for that adventure!

Now I tag you....whoever reads it!!!

New Job

So I finally decided on a new job. I was offered two different jobs (the only 2 I applied for) and I chose the one that paid more and was closer. I chose to work at Davis North Hospital on the medical floor. The cool thing is that I will be trained on each unit (except the ICU and ER) so I can eventually work anywhere in the hospital. I will be working the 3pm to 3am shift/ 3 times per week. I know, I'm nuts doing a shift like that with a baby, but it's much better than working 5pm-5am. I am actually excited to get back to work because I feel like my mind has turned to mush since Josh was born. I like to be challenged and I know it will be good for me.
I am just really sad that I am not one of the lucky mom's who gets to stay home with there baby! Oh well, in just 3 years, I can then stay at home! ONLY 3 YEARS! YUCK! Anyway, you have to do what you have to do, to be able to support your family!
Anyway, so I am officially employed! YIPPEE!

Memory time!

I saw this on a few of my friend's blogs and thought it looked like fun. Go on.....leave me a memory!
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments!

Happy Birthday to me...I'm OLD!

So this last weekend has been so nice. Since it was my birthday, Dave decided to take some time off. Friday he took a half a day off, so we got to go to the Bountiful temple for our stake temple night. It was so nice to go with Dave. Thank goodness for my sister-in-law Kami for watching Josh. I really appreciated her willingness to watch for Josh. Earlier that day I was able to go to lunch with my best friends from high school, Melisa and Ashly. It was a ton of fun to be with them. We are making it a tradition to go to lunch every month now. Melisa was able to tell us that she is now pregnant with her first! She is due in February. I am so excited for her! Congrats Melisa!

Saturday we were able to go get Dave some glasses so he can see! Dave has awesome insurance through his job right now, so we are taking advantage of it. Then we just stayed at home pretty much the rest of the day! It's nice to hang out together and veg in front of the tv watching the olympics! It's fun!

Sunday we had a big barbeque with my brother Chad and his family. It was so fun to hang out with them. Riley and Braden were a lot of fun to be with! They sure love playing with their uncle Dave! Some time this last weekend we went to the park. It was a lot of fun and Josh loved looking at all of the ducks, swinging on the swings, and just being outdoors. I got some cute pictures of us at the park.

Today, Dave let me use my birthday present (a 1 hour massage) this morning! It was soooooooo nice. I was so relaxed after the massage! It was the best birthday gift ever! After I got home, we decided to go get lunch and go swimming. We went to the Farmington pool for a few hours. Josh did so good! I actually really liked the water. No crying, just a lot of kicking! It was fun. Then tonight we went to dinner with my dad and stepmom Diane to Firehouse pizza in Centerville. YUMMY! That was a restuarant that was in Logan that we now miss! Thank goodness it is close again! I got a free dessert for my birthday! It was a lot of fun! It was a great birthday...one of the best actually! It has been so great spending the entire weekend, plus Monday, with Dave and Josh. I am so greatful for all the I have! I am truly blessed!

Lots going on!

This last week has been pretty crazy. First, Josh has had a runny nose for about a week,(I believe he is getting teeth!), then Thursday morning he woke up with a very distinct "barking" cough. When I sat there listening to him coughing like a little puppy, I remember learning in nursing school, barking cough=croup! I took him to the doctor, and sure enough he had it. They ended up giving him a breathing treatment, a shot in the leg and a chest x-ray. It was loads of fun! He is doing better, but it's been pretty rough. He sure doesn't sleep as good as he normally does...which we sure miss! Anyway, he is doing better day by day, but I am sure ready for him to be done with the stuffy nose and cough! I haven't felt this sleep deprived since Josh was a newborn! I don't miss those sleepless nights!

Just two days ago, I was noticing how all of a sudden Josh was now grabbing both of his feet! It is so funny, he finally realized that he could grab those toes! It's funny to watch.

Then on Friday, I had my first official job interview. I interviewed at Ogden Regional Hospital, for a job on the medical floor. They offered me the position, but I told the manager if I could have a week to think about it. I have another job interview at Davis North Hospital (here in Layton), and I am really anticipating that interview because I think it might be a better choice. Who knows! Well, I guess I am just not that excited to go back to work, but I know it is only for a while...well, 3 years! Lot's of mom's have to work...I guess I'm just one of them!

Then last night, Dave and I thought it would be fun to go hit some balls and the batting cages at Swan Lakes golf course! It was a lot of fun! I did pretty good...guess all of those years of playing still help! It was a lot of fun! I always look forward to the weekends, so I can spend my time with Dave! We always have fun together! Oh yeah, he did good too! It was a lot of fun!
