September Stu



I can't believe how fast he is growing! Stu is 8 Months old and..

- He can sit on his hands and knees and bounce back and fourth
- He can last all night without a bottle, most nights. (I foresee a bottomless pit boy!)
- He scrunches his nose and makes sniffing noises! It is so funny!
- He knows that when he hears the door knob sound that his daddy is home.
- He Loves books. (to eat not read)
- He is SO happy and cute whenever he wakes up.
- He likes pickles, grapefruit, and celery!
- He is so much fun to play with and has the cutest laugh! We love our Stu!

Ryan Reunion




I can't believe it is already friday! This week has gone by so fast..(I still have a batch of laundry in the dryer to be folded from Monday!(:)We had such a fun weekend last week and I feel like I have just been trying to get back into the swing of things all week. Thankfully everything I think is back to normal (besides the laundry!) and I can finally post on our Ryan Reunion!

Mike's Family was so nice to come all of the way down here to party so we didn't have to drive this time! It was so nice to have them come to us, and us just sit and wait! (Good thing we have such fun families or the drive every month would start to get old.) But so far we still love going to Idaho and this was just a nice break! We even get to see my family this next week for our Billings (my Mom's side) reunion so we are so excited!


On Friday we "took Stu to the Zoo"! More like we went to the Zoo and pushed Stu in the stroller! But, the thought of taking him to the zoo when he will actually care and notice things is fun. I hadn't been to a zoo in a long time so it was cool to see all of the animals. There was an elephant show with a new baby elephant that was very cute! We also went on a tour of the Humanitarian center which was cool, and then the boys went to a Bee's baseball game and the girls went shopping and watched one of my new favorite movies, Confessions of a Shopaholic! (If you haven't seen it you need to!) On saturday we went on a tour of the Conference center. It was fun to go on top and see things that you can only see with a guide. If you decide to go on a conference ctr. tour anytime soon, get our guide(old and funny!) He was the best! We went cruising past all of the other groups and there tour guides, and he was hilarious, we saw everything we wanted to but it wasn't slow and then up on the roof it was blazing hot so he made it quick! Awesome!! We also drove up to Park City and drove up and OVER the Mountain to come back which was a bit scary...!


Other than that we are just hanging out here in Utah! Sadly we will not be going to Idaho again until after Mike takes the GMAT again on Sept. 1st. He has been very good about studying and takes practice test every saturday. We can't wait until it is done so that we can apply to grad schools kinda of have an idea of where we will be next fall. Mike has been busy at work doing what we hope he will never do again after this job! He is a good sport and works so hard even with some of the wierdos that he works with!
I have been doing a lot of Relief Society stuff and am kept busy trying to keep track of the 3-4 new families moving into our crazy ward every week! But, I do really enjoy my calling, getting to know so many people!
Stu is very busy himself! He is growing so fast I can't believe it. When he lays on his belly he wants to crawl very bad but hasn't found out how to get from his belly yet so he lays on his elbows and then puts his bum in the air standing on his toes!! He is so cute and makes our lives so much better! We love having him and are excited to have you all see him next..he will probably be walking! (0:

4th of July, scrap-booking and a FLOOD





We have been loving this summer! I always thought that Idaho summers were bad and I've heard that Utah summers were a million times worse. Well, It has been SO hot here, but really I haven't noticed any difference, the only thing is that it doesn't cool down at night...which I love! It feels so nice outside at night!

We went to Idaho for the 4th which was so much fun! THe Rexburg parade was fun as usual, It was Stu's first parade and he was not a big fan of all of the sirens and loud noises. We spent some time with both the Ryans and the Jones' and got some family pictures taken! I don't have many pictures yet to post, but my mom has been working hard to burn them all and send them to me since we took so many. I will post more when I get them!

I am so excited to finally get going on my scrap-booking. My sister Lydia gets all of her kids pictures for the year done by every birthday...she is so good! I want to try and copy this goal, but just realized that Stu is 7 Mos. old -that is past half a year and I have a lot to do. So me and Lydia planned a scrap-booking day every week! Every thursday I go over to her house and scrapbook all day! I am so excited at the stuff I am finally getting done! (Like my honeymoon pictures..yes it has almost been TWO years!)

When we got home from Idaho for the 4th we had a nice little surprise! Our garbage disposal had clogged while we were gone and since our sink pipes are connected to the apts. above us when they used there disposal it overflowed into our apt.!! So we came home to wet carpet and lots of STINKY!! I had to wait until the next morning to call for someone to come fix it and before they came it started overflowing all over again! I never knew that the water you wash with and rinse down the drain gets so stinky!! About one minute after it started again I was ready to pack up and go to Lydia's, It stunk SO bad! Thanks goodness the guy came soon! THey finally cleaned it up, fixed the sink and left two giant fans in our front room to dry out the carpet. (pretty sure that our upstairs neighbors were going crazy, because with those fans on I had to turn the T.V. up...a bit!!:)) After the carpet was dry and the guy cleaned the carpet I thought we were done, then yesterday I found all of the cake pans and dishes under my kitchen sink were full of nasty water. (I was wondering why the smell wasn't going away in the kitchen) Hopefully everything is fixed and we are good to go now!! We are so grateful that is all that it was!
