Utah Vaca

Oh man, this was a MUCH needed trip!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness for spring breaks. :) We needed to just get away for a little bit, but surprisingly after a week of being gone, we really wanted to sleep in our own bed. Boston was a little more difficult this time around because he is older now and MUCH more independent. Twelve hours in a car?? Ya right. We drove seven hours to Idaho Falls and stayed in a hotel {while visiting my cousins and cute new baby, Juliette}. We went swimming/sat in the hot tub and loved that. Boston was so funny swimming...LOVED splashing, being thrown in the air by dad, thinking he can jump in all by himself, and trying to get away from us and let him swim on his own. 

Getting caught in the toilet paper he unraveled 

FINALLY made it!! Two days of traveling + crabby baby = not fun

My wedding dress is still in Utah and I always wanted to try it on but I was either pregnant, or had weight to loose, so I decided to do it! One.happy.girl 

Newest favorite thing...riding dad like a horse.

We LOVED vising our friends Josh and Rose and their babes...they really are just too cute. Here is Boston and Neal {1 month apart}.

He seriously is SO cute.

Boston is seriously obsessed with brooms..NOT kidding. We went to a pet store awhile back and could of cared less about the dogs and went straight for the broom. Here we were playing in water and guess what??? Saw the janitor with the broom so he stole it and took off...

We also went skiing in Deer Valley--it was beautiful. I loved it. Jeff and his dad are pro's. I had gone before but not in years, so I was a beginner. We had a blast until Jeff decided to take me down a double black diamond and I kept falling, so I was over it then...

That night we went swimming at the coolest pool for kids...Boston seriously was in heaven. Before we left for the trip I bought Boston a new swimming suit and he looks like a little kid now.

This picture is really funny...Grandpa Gertsch loved playing with Boston and vice versa. 

How much did I love visiting this cute family? We wanted to make sure we visited them because Jeff and Kurt studied together all the time!! It was sure great to meet Madden and see how big Kru is getting. Jordan and Kurt are so great!!!

Grandpa and Boston throwing the ball...

This is another funny face he is making these days. This one is my favorite...it's so funny. On our way home we stopped in Rexburg and visited our family again. We spent more time with cute Juliette {Jill and Steven too...I guess :)}.

Look at Boston in this picture...ha ha he wanted me to put lip gloss on him. He sees me doing it and wants some every time I put some on. 

See?? Loves it.

This is what I would look like with two kids...not too sure if I'm quite ready!!

Boston getting restless....

We ended up leaving Rexburg at 8pm because we just wanted to get home. So Boston slept for five hours then woke up the last 2 1/2. But! He was really good. He just watched us drive. We got home at 2 am {we were used to an hour earlier tho} and crashed in our bed. We also visited Audra & Tyson and my best friend Lacie & Jeff but forgot to take pictures...whoops!!  

We're Alive

I find myself not taking NEAR as many pictures as I used to! What the heck!! I only take pictures of what I'm making and not enough of my cute baby/husband. Things are starting to slow down because we're going to Utah this Friday for a WHOLE week!! I'm so flipping excited. I'm putting my shop 'on hold' or aka inactive, so I don't come home from Utah with lots of orders and I'll be SO busy. So--the best thing we could think of was just put me on 'vacation mode'. I'm secretly really excited to not block for one week! 


If you're wondering why we're going it's because Jeff has Spring break. We are really excited to see family and friends! We miss them SO much!! Jeff's going skiing for the first time this year :). I'm going to relax...that's what I'm most excited for!! Nothing too much is going on--but I'll have a fabulous post about Utah when we return! In the meantime, I'll leave you with this cute picture...

15 Months

Holy Cow, my once-little-baby is now 15 months old! What the heck??? He is turning into quite the explorer. His newest in unplugging EVERYTHING...problem? Yes---because then he tries to plug everything back in...bigger problem?? Yes!! Also, after he wakes up he throws all of his blankets and stuffed bear out of the crib...I'm just waiting for the clothes to come off any day now!! He is our bundle of joy...

Weight 23.6 lbs {34%}

Height 33 In. {94%}

Tall and skinny, just like dad! :)

Valentine Fiasco

I had SUCH a great Valentine's Day. I had MANY laughs with friends...and a great husband at my side. Josh & Linds invited us to go to dinner at the Melting Pot for Josh's birthday and V-day. I can't tell you how much fun we had. At the end of the night we were laughing really hard. Here are some pics to prove it! **Please notice my lovely editing in Picnik :)

best part of the night was this creme'...as we called it. Like I said, we were getting really funny at the end of the night and dessert was BY FAR the best part...so we started calling the white chocolate creme' brulee, 'the creme'. You probably had to be there for it.

No way was I going to stop eating to take a picture.

Josh-Linds-Jeff-Me

Happy Birthday Josh!

Oh man this was just soo fun! It may be another year before we go back...but it was SO worth it!! My mom watched Boston and Lucy and she said she had a great time with those little ones.

And I'll leave you with this...my newest item in the shop! Hope all you love birds had a great Valentine's! 

My cutesy little Valentine

I want to kiss him all over!!!

{p.s. that's him playing peek-a-boo}

This will make you laugh...

Funny, right???? Don't worry he wasn't hurt, this was right after he fell so he was scared. This is my craft room and his newest thing is to stand on the 'live.laugh.love' box and somehow he lost his balance and fell into this. Boston is so funny--he'll make you laugh so hard.

Brian Regan & Such

I HAVE to get better at blogging! My blog book won't be that great if I neglect it now...:) ANYWAY! We had the greatest opportunity to go see Brian Regan last week. It was our anniversary present to each other...it was SO great. We went to dinner and did that whole sha-bang. :}

You guys, he was seriously so great live. He had us ROLLING. We dragged my mom and Pete along and I've never seen my mom laugh that hard. We will go every year if he comes!!! 


I also went to Stinky Sneaker...HUGE rivalry game with my old high school. It was great being able to be in the stands for once and not cheering. I forget how big of a production they put on. Boston was having the time of his life because there was so much going on....

Oh! It's gotten to be so big that they moved it to the Arena!! 

I was honestly so impressed how well he did! We were easily there for 2+ hours and he just sat and watched the whole thing!! 

I also wanted to add some funny things Boston has been doing lately....

**He takes balls, brooms, shoes, window stoppers, his BIG car and throws them down the stairs. If I give him a toy and he walk away, 2 seconds later he is chucking it down the stairs. It's so funny to see all the different things on the stairs. 

**He also takes those same toys and throws them in the bath tub. I get into the shower each day and I end up ruining something because it can't get wet! The latest are my shoes and his popcorn toy. He's also thrown some blocks that I've done and in there are now are ruined.

**He stops whatever he is doing when a dog barks

**He loves being in our front yard and heads straight for the rocks and tries to eat them

**He must be growing because he is sleeping and growing like a weed. He has been taking 3+ hour naps and sleeping 12+ hours at night!!! I can't complain, I love it!! 

**He has SO many teeth...15 I believe. Poor guy has been teething since he's been 4 months old and hasn't stopped.

**He's getting faster and faster each day...And when I say fast I mean he is starting to run. Jeff can mimic his run pretty well--I crack up every time I see him doing it. 

**He hits...yes, hits. When I do ANYTHING he doesn't like I get a smack to my face...sometime double handed too. Don't worry though, we've got it under control. 

**We've been hanging out with some new people {Linds & Josh here's your shout out!!} and they have {almost} a two year old and they go back and forth hitting each other in the face...

**When it get's quiet in the house, he's most likely downstairs throwing things over the door railing...he's obsessed with throwing things. I do have to blame Jeff because he has taught him to through a ball. 

Check out that shirt...ha ha {yes, it's from Walmart}

This is the cute little girl I was talking about...who Boston hits :) They played in this blow up toy A LOT!!

They're such stinkers...we caught them going downstairs....alone :)

There are some fun things about little man!!! Jeff and I are doing well also! He's figuring out his internship right now and just had an interview at the Valley Hospital {we hope he get's that one!!} and is busy sending out resumes everywhere! I'm quite proud of how hard he works, honestly. I'm doing great as well! Busy as ever with Etsy!! I can't complain though, it's a huge blessing that I'm able to work from home!
