Ok, I realize that I don't blog that much, but I really have been super busy, and well, once I go a month of not blogging, then it feels overwhelming to catch you all up to speed on what we have been up to. ANYWAY, that is my excuse! :)So, starting back in December, Dave finished his semester with wonderful grades (good job babe!) and we had an entire month of having Dave home with us and no school. It was so nice to have him home all of the time. We went to SLC to see the lights, and go to dinner. It was a lot of fun. It was FREEZING, but Josh did awesome. He just stayed bundled up in his stroller. He didn't move the whole time because he got cold when he did. I was so mad too, my camera died after these two pictures. I was so mad! Anyway, it was a lot of fun to be down at temple square. Josh especially loved all of the horses that were pulling the carriages around temple square. It was fun.
Here is Josh and I at temple square.
Christmas ended up being very interesting. Two days before Christmas Dave and I both got food poisoning. It was HORRIBLE! I have never felt like that. And the worse thing about it was that since we were BOTH sick, it was so difficult to entertain Josh the next day. We felt like a semi ran us over. The day after (which happened to be Christmas eve) I finally kept orange jello down that night. Dave was able to eat before I could. I couldn't even keep water down that day. By Christmas day we were feeling much better but we were still VERY tired/lethargic. We had a fun Christmas though. We kind of spoiled JOsh with some new toys, Dave got lots of clothes (he desperately needed them, and I got some awesome deals), I also got him quite a few DVD's (thank goodness for Target's after thanksgiving sale). Dave bought me some new clothes too (which I desperately needed as well.)
After having our own Christmas morning, we headed over to my dad and stepmom's house. My brother and his wife and kids were there too. It was a lot of fun. They bought us some new pots and pans, which I also desperately needed. We got some clothes, books and Josh got some more toys and a very cute new church outfit. (See picture below)
Here is my dad with all of the grandkids (boys) on Grandpa's new toy! SPOILED DAD!
Here is my handsome little boy! He looks like a little man! When I got him dressed and kept telling Josh how cute he looked and he kept looking at me saying "CHEEEEESE", so I grabbed the camera, and he was such a cheeseball! So cute! Needless to say, when we went to church I have NEVER had so many complements on how cute JOsh looked! I am biased, but he is a cute little stinker! :)
This is what we do...mom and Josh just hanging out! :)
And here is the most recent picture of Josh in his new jammies! January hasn't brought anything new in our home, except for a very, very busy life. Dave started his busiest semester. Aggghhhhh, is it almost over? To put it mildly, from Tuesday-Friday morning, Dave and I see each other for no more than 3-4 hours. It totally sucks. It's been really hard, because I don't get a lot of sleep, and work for me has been hell, it has been SO busy. Then Dave is SO busy with school. By the end of April, we will have made it through the busiest semester. WE CAN DO IT!Anyway, that is January in a nut shell! :)
This last weekend was a lot of fun. I didn't work and Dave and friday -monday off. Friday, my dad and step-mom watched Josh for a bit so we could go out to eat...on a date! :) It was so yummy, we went to Wingers! Then Saturday we drove to slc to look at cars. We didn't find anything, but just started looking. Then on our way home we stopped at Texas Roadhouse to eat dinner. It was way good, and not too badly priced for the amount of food you get. Then we came home and just hung out. Sunday was such a nice day. I got released from scouts (it's nice, the bishopric was worried that I had too much on my plate...it's nice :)) and got asked to be in charge of the ward bulletin. Church was so nice to be there, and Josh was awesome! He was so good during sacrament, and then walked right into nursery and didn't look back! We were so proud of him. Going to church only every other week can be really rough. It is so nice to go when I can. It really "fills my spiritual side". Anyway, it was a great Valentines Day.
Oh, one last thing that was back in December. Me, and my most best friends from Snow College met up and went to dinner down in Provo. Me, Julie, Mekell and JulieAnn. Oh it was so much fun! I haven't seen JulieAnn for SO many years. And of course we didn't take a single picture! Oh well, but we have to get together soon again, because it was so great to catch up with those girls! I love you girls! I so wish we lived closer to one another!
Anyway, I know I have forgotten a lot , but I think I hit most of the main things that happened.
I hope everyone is doing well! Sorry I am horrible on updating my blog! Oh well, priorities right?! This is belated, but I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! So from us, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Valentines Day! :)
