Hello once again

I know, I know it's been forever but today I actually decided to do some blogging. A lot of things have happened since I last blogged. Well you know Thanksgiving, Christmas (In Mexico, which was freaking awesome as usual- that will be another blog. LOL) New Year's and the most important of all Sophia's Birthday. I know I'm a bad mother for not posting her B-day pics but I will get to that eventually. Sophia has been a wonderful blessing. She makes us all laugh and loves to be tickled. She just LOVES Nathan, and is always following him around. Whenever Nathan is at school she just sits and looks sad and asks for him 'Nana'. But as soon as we go and pick him up she starts dancing and starts yelling Nana nana. It's really cute. I love dressing her up in cute outfits and can't wait for summer so I can put her in some shorts and short sleeves so we can all see those fat rolls.

This is Jeff's last semester of school (yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) I can't tell you how proud I am, he has worked so hard for this. He has been amazing, he has always worked full time, gone to school full time, and has had time to spend time with his family (even if it was just one hour during the day) I love him soooo much. He has made me become a better person. Nathan and Sophia love him sooooo much as well. Sophia cries for him everytime he leaves the house and Nathan asks about daddy all day long. We are so excited to have him around more. There is only one thing. He STILL NEEDS TO FIND AN INTERNSHIP!!!! So, hopefully he finds one soon. It has been very hard to find one, we are kinda lost right now because we don't know where we are going to be ending up after this semester is done. We will be staying here for sure till May since that is when Nathan finishes school, and then we are not sure.

I just keep praying that we will hear about something soon and will be able to take our little family somewhere nice and to have family around so my kids can play with their cousins. We have loved/hated living in Rexburg but we do feel lonely here. We have made great friends but, wish to be closer to family that love us. I can't wait to live in a house and a big backyard where my kids can go run around.

I don't know if this makes a lot of sense but I just felt like writing something today. I will try to keep in touch more. :)

Happy B-Day Nathan!!!!!!!

So, last thursday was Nathan's 4th birthday. I cannot believe he is 4 already. I can still close my eyes and see him as a newborn. I just wanted to write a couple of things about him. He is such a wonderful boy, he is helpful, smart, loves to go to school, loves hanging out with his friends, loves playing with Sophia, loves to cook and loves to be a menace as well.

I am so grateful for having the opportunity to be his mom. I love that for the longest time he was my companion, and although I have Sophia now he is still my ROCK. I love that even though I might put him in time out or take his toys away he still comes to me and gives me a hug afterwards. (I wish I could be like that sometimes). Anyways happy birthday Nathan! I'm glad that you are 4 now, but please don't grow sooooo fast. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, MIND AND SOUL, you will forever be my baby. With love Mama.

For his birthday I took cupcakes to his school and he passed them around, then we came home and had cake with ice cream. It was something very small but he loved it and then on Saturday we took him to Applebees. (cause that's where he wanted to go) here are some pics.

As you can see he is wearing a different color shirt because by the time we got back from school he looked a little homeless (DIRTY)

Yes, we are alive!!!

Hello everyone!!!!!! Long time no see. hahaha So, we survived summer. Jeff was able to finish his internship and slept about two whole days after that.

Anyways, we have been great! Nathan started preschool (yeah) and loves it but not as much as I do. hahaha He comes home excited to see Sophia and I. He is such a great brother he loves Sophia sooooo much sometimes too much. He wants to wrestle with her and play piggy back ride with her too. I tell him that she is too small for wrestling but he doesn't get it.

Nathan is excited because his birthday is on Thursday but we will be doing his B-day party on Saturday. Everyone is invited. I will be sending out invitations today.

Sophia is started to do the G.I Jane crawl (that means trouble for me since now I'm going to have to put everything away and vacuum 3 times a day.) anyways she loves being mobile and getting into everything. She has two small teeth and is as beautiful as ever.

Jeff is back in school and is doing his IBC he is very excited. He left today at 6:30 am to Badger Creek for a small retreat with his IBC class. I don't think it will be too hard for him since he loves going camping. In the meantime I am home with the kids. Oh well.

As for me I am a stay at home mom. I try to keep myself busy but there is so much you can do in Rexburg. I am planning on going back to school to get a Spanish Endorsement. So, cross your fingers so BYU-I takes me back!!!

Well this is just an small updated blog from our family. Hope everyone is doing well.
Here is a little video of Sophia 'talking'

I have to eat what???!!!!!

Thankgiving Point it was sooooo hot

Where to start

I know it has been a long time, but I just couldn't find the time to blog, we have been so busy, but oh well. After weeks of frustration Jeff has finally been able to find an Internship. We were so happy to have found one because if he hadn't we would have been pushed back another semester. There is only a small problem he works ALL NIGHT! As many of you know he is the night manager over at FedEx, so he starts there around 2pm and finishes around 9:45pm, and then goes straight to his Internship. Jeff works from 10pm till 7am then comes home gets in the shower and goes to bed. It never fails Sophia and Nathan wake up at that time so I get up with them and try to be as quiet as we can so Jeff can get some sleep. I don't mind that he's not around during the day because I'm used to that, but now nights uggg (dont like it at all) the first two nights were hard because I couldn't get much sleep knowing that he was away. BUT we are thankful that he was able to find this Internship, I just gets kinda lonely sometimes. Oh well (sigh)

The kids are doing good, Sophia just turned 4 months! She is a wonderful baby, she is always smiling and loves to be tickled, she adores Nathan and loves for him to talk to her. I took her to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month shots it was a bit dramatic as usual. Today was a bit harder on her since she got a little bit of fever. Hopefully tonight won't be too bad.

Nathan is an awesome brother he is always trying to protect Sophia and every time he hears her cry he goes to see what's wrong with her. Nathan loves to cook and play with his cars and Lego's. Next Monday Nathan will start going to 'summer' preschool we are so excited for him, he loves to play with other kids and loves going to school.

My two loves!

Nathan with Sophia (2 months)

One of my favorite pics

Cute!

My mom bought Nathan this tent and he loves it. He is always asking me to put Sophia in with him. I couldn't resist. I love my kids, they are my little angels, they are my little motor that keeps me going. Love you babies.

More pics

Well nothing exciting has happened lately so here are just some pics of Sophia.

Sophia's Blessing

We were able to bless Sophia yesterday, it was a wonderful experience. I wished I could of had more family over but living in a different country makes it a little difficult for everyone to come. I was lucky to have my mama, brother my cousin Leslie and her husband Bob over. We had so much fun with them. On Saturday we headed out to Jackson to see the snowmobile races and later that night we went to see The Rainmaker (excellent play-totally recommend it) On Sunday we had ribs for dinner and were soooo good. I'm posting some pictures of the blessing but will be posting more later because Bob took better pictures of Sophia with his awesome camera (next big purchase). I am so happy to have a wonderful husband like Jeff and for him to hold the Priesthood. I love you babe!
