Lazy Sundays

I know most people love Sundays because it's SO relaxing. I don't know what it is about Sunday that makes me nap so much longer than other days! Anyway, we had a very relaxing Sunday this passed week. It was fun just hanging with my boys.

Watching Football with Jeff after his 3 hour nap...He was so cuddly.

I was showing Boston his new shoes that I got him the day before and when I was done I asked him to put them away...I guess this is what he thought of them. :) Makes you kind of laugh, right?




He is really into stacking my blocks lately...which is fine with me because it keeps him occupied for at least an hour.

Most days

I feel like doing this....


I have honestly fallen asleep on our kitchen floor. It was when I was 6 weeks or so, and all I wanted to do was lay on the cool floor, so I did! Next thing I know Jeff's trying to get me to wake up and lay on the couch! Funny, right??

Oh man, I can't wait until I'm done with the first trimester! It hasn't been bad at all, but I'm looking forward to having a little more energy. It's so hard because when Boston naps, I'd like to nap BUT I can't because there is studying to be done OR blocks to be made. Most days I say 'forget it' and take a nap because I'm so.dang.tired.

In other news, Boston has this new face that cracks me up. I laugh so hard because sometimes he makes this face WHILE talking...it's hilarious. 


...and judge me if you'd like but in this house we kind of skipped Fall decorations and went right to Halloween...:) :) 


Isn't that tree branch/ornament thing to die for??? I found something similar in a magazine so I made a few changes and made my own!!

Guess what????

We're having another baby!!!! We can't be MORE excited, too! This baby is due April 5th, which is right before Jeff's finals...uh oh. :) When a little baby needs to come we can't stop it! We found out August 1st and it's been killing me {I know it's only been a month} not to tell everyone!! With Boston we told everyone right away, but this time we thought we should wait. I had a Dr. apt shortly after and things were confirmed! Today, I had another apt where we heard the heartbeat and it's nice and healthy so I figured it's safe enough to tell!! 










Here's the details just in case you all want to know...we were wanting another baby and feel blessed that we now are!! I felt fine, nothing too off the rocker but I was a couple days late. Sure enough, positive preg test! I was shocked...it was just Boston and me and I kept walking around the house saying 'oh my gosh oh my gosh' and Boston was like...what's with mom?? :) I call a couple people because I didn't want to tell call Jeff and tell him over the phone. I ran to the mall to get a big brother shirt and a present for Jeff. I then wrapped the pregnancy tests in his new shorts so when he picked them up they'd fall out! I thought I was a genius! 

He came home and I tried to play it all cool...I told him I had a gift for him and he picked up the shorts and the tests feel out!! He bent down to grab them and was like...'What!??? Are you pregnant??' It was a fun moment. 

I had a Doctor apt that week and they assured me that I was pregnant and 5 weeks along. He even did a small ultrasound!!! Talk about a cool dr. He told me not to be surprised if we didn't see anything because it was so early, but we did! Little black circle...:) 

Today I had another apt and we heard the heartbeat!!! 150 bpm healthy and strong for 9 weeks. Boston was 153 bpm his first Doppler...:) I don't care whether this baby is a boy or girl...really! Just healthy! It would be fun though to have two boys.

Good boy

Boston is such a little stud. I love his fiery spirit. We are taking family pictures today and we're really excited, but that meant hair cuts. He just sits on the stool and let's Jeff cut his hair. So.flipping.cute.



He's also obsessed with 'cy-col' {motorcycle} and has become fond of this toy.


He looks for it right when he wakes up, and drives around the house saying 'beep-beep.' Words cannot express the joy he gives me!!

Beav

There will be a Beav post every year! It's my favorite week I think. We went up way up North {I think about 45 mins from Canada} and play on the lake all day. We have nothing planned, just eat, hike, sleep, chat, swim, boat, fight and such. Those are my favorite vacations. My sister, who I hadn't seen in a YEAR, flew in from Virginia {thank goodness she wasn't there for the Earthquake!!!}. My brother and his family from Denmark weren't able to come because they just had little Lewis a couple months ago--not cool! Jeff was only able to come the last two days because he started his assistant ship that week. 
Isn't it beautiful???






 Our family---minus Blair's family and the rest of Melissa's.


I love when the sisters get together!!!




Jean & Jane




 This is Jeff's way to tube, I guess :)


Dad beating on Hayden



This was taken last night when we were saying good-bye to my dad. We all look tan!!

Another successful Beav!!!! It's the saddest when everyone leaves. My sister left today and I would be lying if I said I wasn't really sad. I hope to see her again before next Beav. 

In other news, Jeff started school yesterday! I don't have anything to report on that because he's only gone two days! I'm SO excited to say that was his last--first day of school! Nine more months! Wahoo!

Update on Life!!

Although I have been doing ok with blogging, I just feel like I haven't gone into any detail!!! So this post I'll be playing catch up because I have some time...

Jeff--He's going great! He's such a hard worker let me tell you. He's wrapping up his internship this week and starting his assistant-ship next week! He has LOVED working at the Valley Hospital. It seems that they like him too. They keep him busy with LOTS of projects. He also has been working for my dad and step-dad, which he will also be wrapping up this week. The assistant-ship will be taking up all his time and is a great job. He will be the assistant to the head professor of his program. Jeff says it will be tough but worth it for 9 months! I'm SO excited that this the last year of school! April CANNOT come soon enough! 

Boston--I can't say enough about him!!! He has turned into such a fun little guy. The best part is now when I ask him to say something he repeats it. It's so funny sometimes because he doesn't say the exact word, but it's so funny to watch him try! Love it! These are his latest...
  • Right now he has this obsession with Jeff {which I HOPE is just a phase}. When Jeff walks into a room it's all about Jeff. Sometimes he can't even put him down--he'll just whine!  
  • He loves air planes and motorcycles...whenever he sees either one he repeats 'What's that?" about 10 times. He get's a little carried away.
  • Speaking of air planes--he can see the ones that are a spec in the sky! When I look I can't find them right away, but if I look hard enough I can see it! He has good eyes.
  • When Jeff get's Boston out of the tub in the mornings, Boston loves running away from Jeff all naked...it's game now. 
  • When Jeff get's home from work Boston demands to go outside to turn the sprinkler on. If we're sitting down he comes up behind you to push you. It's hard not to laugh.
  • Once Jeff sets up the sprinkler, Boston goes over right away to it and 'fixes' it. He probably thinks he helping. 
  • He says a lot of words...too many to write down but my favorite are 'tit do' {thank you}, pees {please}, aa po {air plane}, Ca-ca-ca {?? helicopter...this one is cute}, No {he says 'No' to about everything}, Al-lay {Alli}, bi guck {big truck}...anyway those are just a few!
  • He loves to run---he's getting fast actually. He also likes to run in circles...don't ask me.
  • He is the BEST at giving kisses...he even puckers his lips. Ha ha Jeff doesn't like it too much because he gives kisses a lot, but I can't get enough! 
  • When he gives other kids 'loves' he hugs them, but holds onto them and kind of tackles them. I laugh every time. 


Lastly--Me--Things are super busy right now. I'm doing independent study through BYU trying to finish my Bachelors, which hopefully will be July-ish next year. It's somethings I just need to do! I'm almost done with New Testament...probably take the final in two weeks. Also, my business if fabulous. Last week I hit the 500 mark--whew! It's been hard trying to balance school and work when Boston's asleep. Especially since he's getting older and sometimes doesn't take naps! That calls for really late nights. :)

So there's a good update on us this summer! A couple weeks ago we both were free on Saturday so we went to the beach.





I also have some pictures on my card that I haven't posted yet, so here are some random ones!!
Notice the Q-tip and mirror in his hand!! He sees me do that so he thinks he does too!

 Taking a break from swimming and reading my Shape magazine.



I know, I know...this is white trash. He's just too cute. :)

And I'll leave you with this picture!
