Update




So, I have REALLY slacked off on blogging lately. I have found myself to be VERY busy with playing mom, wife and nurse! I have had lots going on, so I'll try to remember!


First and foremost, Josh is growing up so fast! I can't believe he is getting so big! First, I decided that he needed to get his haircut. His hair was sticking straight up and reached at least 2 inches off of his head. We took him to Dollar Cuts and this poor girl didn't know what was coming. I had JOsh sit on my lap and he SCREAMED the entire time she cut his hair. First she tried to use the scissors to cut his hair, but I told her it was just getting more and more uneven. So we decided to just buzz his head. It came out a lot shorter than I wanted, but now it looks so cute! He looks even more like Dave with this new hairdue!
Also, Josh decided to cut two teeth in about a 2 week time period! That sure was fun! Lots of ornery days! Thank goodness for Tylenol.
Then he had his 6 month well baby visit (which was about 1 month late, oh well!). He now weighs 22.4 lbs! He is such a big boy and is loving his vegetables and fruits! Now he is getting his little gerber treats. His can pick things up with his pointer finger and thumb! He is doing great! Also, he is JUST about to crawl. He is so close, I'm sure it's coming very soon, and there goes my sanity! Just kidding!
Dave has been very busy with school. He is doing great and loves what he is learning! I'm really proud of him.
I am just trying to stay sane! Work has been VERY busy! Lots of pneumonia patients! YUMMY! Oh well, I am liking my job. I'm learning a lot!
Anyway, I'm sure there is much more, but I can't remember right now!

Puppy or Cow?


So I bought this halloween outfit yesterday for Josh, and I thought it was so cute. I was thinking, oh he will look so cute as a cow. Well then I brought it home and looked at the tag and it said, it was a puppy outfit. Well, what do you all think it looks like? Well, honestly it doesn't matter! I think Josh looks cute no matter what!

My husband!


Where did you meet? Dave and I first met in Logan, at second dam, over a camp fire roasting starbursts...I know, weird, but kind of yummy!

How long did you date before you got married? Dated for about 7 1/2 months and engaged for 4 1/2 months...way too long to be engaged!

How long have you been married? 2 1/2 years

What is your favorite feature of his? Definitly his eyes and his smile

What is your favorite quality of his? His patience with me, his testimony, his willingness to serve in the church, and definitly...the way he treats me and Josh. He's so wonderful.

Does he have a nickname for you? Oh boy, this could be embarrassing! He calls me honey, babe, honey bunny (only when he is TRYING to be funny!), and occassionally he calls me baby.

What is his favorite food? Honestly, he likes anything and everything. His favorite thing I make for him is chicken rolls, or meatballs and gravy with rice. His favorite thing he used to get as a kid is pork chops and gravy.

What is his favorite sport? Football (to watch), but he loves track and field (he ran for USU)

When and where was your first kiss? In my apartment, about 3 weeks after we started dating.
What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Just be together as a family. We love to be outside (when it's warm). We love to go on walks (especially at the park), we love going to the temple for our "date night". Be with friends, playing Wii, watching movies, swimming, ...lots of stuff!
Do you have any children? 1 beautiful little boy, Josh (now 7 months old!)

Does he have a hidden talent? I don't know if this can be considered a "hidden talent", but Dave doesn't need a lot of sleep in order to function(unlike me!). It has been very nice to have a husband who can survive on only a few hours of sleep and still be functional! Also, his other hidden talent is he can change a poopy diaper in under 30 seconds! Well done honey!

How old is he? 27 years old (He's almost a year YOUNGER than me!)

Who said "I love you" first? Ummm, he did, but it's kind of a funny story. It was about 4 months into our dating life, at about 2am in my apartments laundry room. We were standing there talking and I asked him if he was "feeling" anything special about me, and he looked at me funny and asked "what do you mean". I then said "you know, LOVE?" He gave me a big smile and said "yeah, of course I love you." And then I told him I loved him too. Here is the reason I did that, I didn't want to be the first one to say "I love You", just because I was afraid that I would be standing there saying I love you, and not get a response! (Even though, I knew he loved me) I told him I knew I had loved him for quite a while and it felt so good to finally acknowledge our feelings! After that day, we say "I love you" every single day!

What is his favorite type of music? Dave really isn't "into" music like some people. (Neither am I) But I can tell you he doesn't like country music, it bothers him!

What do you admire the most about him? The amount of love he has for the gospel, and his desire to be a good husband and father. I also admire his hard work with being a full time graduate student, and being a baby sitter many nights of the week while I'm at work!

Do you think he will read this? Yup, he loves reading our blog!

Ode to "The Office"!!!!


Haleluja, "The Office" is back on with new episodes! Dave and I were getting pretty sick of watching old episodes, so thank goodness for September and all of the new episodes! I just want to thank our good friends, the Southams, for introducing us to this hilarious show. If it wasn't for their encouragement for getting us to watch this program, we would be missing out on some hilarious moments! And also, thanks to Ben and Melinda for allowing Dave and I to borrow your seasons of the Office so we could watch every single episode from the beginning! Thanks to all of you for getting Dave and I hooked on watching Pam and Jim, Dwight and a now "slightly slutty" Angela, the greatest looser Ryan, Meredith, Stanley, Creepy Creed, Phylis, Clueless Andy, "mentally challenged" Kevin, Oscar, Holly, Kelly, prego Jan, and of course Michael! (Did I forget someone?) To all of you who watch this show, let me know what you thought of that great season opener, and to those of you who don't watch the show...get watching! You are missing out!

So this last week Josh has decided that he can sit up on his own. He really just did it by himself one day, it was crazy! He has such good balance already, he rarely falls forward, mostly just to the back. He can sit by himself for a few minutes really well! He is a strong kid! Also, I put him on the grass for the first time. He wasn't too sure about it but did pretty good, but after a few minutes he freaked out! He has been so much fun this last week. I think it is because he is feeling so much better this week. He has been so happy and laughs all of the time. It's great, and it makes you appreciate the times when your baby isn't sick!

This weekend has been a lot of fun. Friday my stepmom and dad left to Seattle to leave for there cruise up to Alaska so we have been PARTYING! NOT! Actually, I worked the last two nights (in the ICU...yuck!) so I was gone pretty much until Saturday morning. Saturday Dave took Josh and I on a date...to Sam's club for a hot dog and drink! I know, what a sweetheart! :) Actually it was fun! Then our friends from Logan, Matt and Tatiana (who now live in Toole) stopped by and we visited for a bit. It was so fun to see them. We haven't seen them since we moved from Logan. We have sure missed having friends live close to us! Then when they left we went to dinner to Chilis with my brother Chad and sister-in-law Kami with their boys Riley and Braden. It was so crowded and Josh was SO tired and ornery! Needless to say, we ate VERY fast and came home and put Josh to bed!

Overall it was fun! This week is going to be a busy one. Dave has his first big exams on Tuesday...wish him luck! And I am working Monday, Thursday and Friday! Yippy! Life as usual!
