Catch up time!!!!





A lot has happened in the last few months.  We are back in Utah thank goodness.  But we will soon be leaving for another adventure (Law School in Moscow Idaho).  Unless BYU you gives a call within the next few months.  That’s where will be.   I can honestly say that I’m not quite ready to say good bye to our friends and family again.  We missed them so much and it has been so fun to be with everyone again.  Although it was a lot of fun to be our very own little family unit while we were on our little adventure.  And it will be exciting to be our own little family once again as we add our new son to the family.  We are so blessed to be having another little boy and baby brother for Owen.  He loves kids so much.  So it will be fun for him to have a friend that doesn’t have to go home at the end on the dayJ.

Owen will be 18 months old when the new baby arrives and I’m hoping that we will all survive the first few months after he gets here.  Because we will very far away, and I’m not going to lie, it will be a little scary have two kids while Mike at school full time.  Not only that, but our families will be too far away to help out.  I’m also a little bummed that no one will be able to meet our new addition until Christmas.  I guess that means I’ll just have to take even more pictures than I already doJ.   All and all we are excited for this new chapter in our lives.  One thing I’ve noticed even more since we’ve had Owen is that life moves so quickly that you truly have to enjoy every moment.  So Idaho here we come….or BYU!!!!!



New Baby Stuff….



I’m 21 weeks along and this pregnancy has been a lot like the last one.  I was pretty sick the first 18 weeks and then I’ve definitely started to feel so much better.  Although I still feel very sleepy but that is getting less and less each day as well.  And two out of the three sisters that had babies around the same time I had Owen last year.  Are having babies around the same time this baby will arrive as well.  One of my sisters is due 3 weeks before me and the other one is due 3 weeks after.  Which is so much fun because then we will have lots of cousins to play with. 

I have been a lot more nervous this time around, because now I know exactly what it means to be a parent and a mother.   And being a mom is absolutely the most amazing thing in the world.  I love every second of it.   But the moment Owen came into our lives and we realized that we were the parents and we had to help this little baby grow, providing him every opportunity in the world to have a happy and successful life.   We as parents have so many hopes and dreams for this little person that was given to us.  Suddenly it because so much more than just cuddling your newborn baby.  It becomes something that we will live and breathe forever.  This to me is also one of the best parts of being parents.  But I definitely understand now more than before what it means to be a mom.

Fun cousin pictures and more!!!


Happy Birthday Eliza!!!




If he could jump on the trap all day long he would.


We are go to miss our cousin Sam!


So happy to see his mally:)


Owen loves animals so much.  Not sure how much they like him...  But this dog was too old to move and never had a chance. 




Owen had hand foot and mouth here.  It was very sad.

And he just loves him.


Owen wanted to saty in the pool all day.  Even though his lips were turning purple.


Naked bum!!!!!!



This boy always has some kind of bump or burse on his face all the time.  This one just happed to come from Matt and Shannon's front porch.  It was not a very happy moment for him.
