Family Pictures June 2012

We had our family pictures taken in June by Taraphotographics! She did an amazing job and we are so glad that we got them taken before she moved! We also found out that we are expecting baby #3! We found out that we are have a BOY!! We are thrilled! I am due on Jan. 28!

It's been awhile...

Quite a bit has happened since Whitney turned 2. I am such a bad photographer, so no new pics. Well, since then Andrew and Anna have moved so we are here in the Burg without any family. Kevin and Holly got married on April 7th! They are in Missouri right now but will be moving back to Rexburg in September. I am so excited! We signed a lease on a new 3 bedroom apartment that is right around the corner from where we are now, which will be very nice in the coming future. We went down to Salt Lake for Memorial Day to visit Justin's family! We had a blast!! We also took family pictures at the very beginning of June, so those will be posted soon. I started and finished my Medical Assisting internship and I will take the exam to be certified on July 5th in Pokey! Justin started working again as soon as I finished my internship. He is thrilled to be back at work. While I was doing my internship Justin got to  be a stay-at-home dad for 7 weeks! The girls LOVED having there dad home. They have adjusted again to mom staying at home. I have decided to graduate in December with my associates degree in Medical Assisting and then I will continue to take 6 credits online every semester until I graduate with my bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration. Right now I am set to graduate in April 2016. I know that it quite a ways from now but this will allow me to stay home with my girls and still be going to school to get my education. Carlei has 8 teeth now and is just about walking! Whitney can count to 10 now all by herself! I am one proud momma! She is such a great big sister! Carlei and Whitney get along great and they LOVE to be trouble makers together! Oh I also got a bike trailer so the girls and I go for a ride everyday! They love it and so do I!

Whitney Turns 2!!

It is still hard to believe that I am the mother of a 2 year old! Man has time just gone by. We had an awesome day and are so grateful and thankful for all of the friends and family that came to celebrate this special day with us and Whitney. We had some 'mock' Cafe Rio food and tons of fruit and cake with ice cream. Whitney got lots of great things! Thank you everyone!

I have a new goal in my life(again)!! I am going to start taking time for myself while juggling going to school and 2 kids and all of the other things that we need to do in our lives! I want to start slow and I going to try and go twice a week. I feel so good after I do exercise! I am going to put this out there for myself so I can look back and remember...I weigh...185! It is horrible but it is something that I never want to see again! I will report later on and let you know the updates.

Lately...

Well school has started again and life is busy as ever. I am in my last semester of the Medical Assisting program. After this, I am doing my externship, which is already lined up and ready to go. Justin has been offered a wonderful opportunity and so we are thinking about it a lot. Well I am not sure I can tell the happenings of the month in order, but this is what we have been up too. We drove out to Driggs and had dinner with my Uncle Delwyn and Aunt Loriann. The drive home was horrible. The weather was so bad. The snow was blowing and there were many times that we couldn't even see the road but we just kept praying and we made it home. We have had some fun times this month! Whitney has started Toddler Lab on campus and she LOVES it. She cries every time she has to leave. Whitney's birthday is in a few weeks and she is going to be 2! I can hardly believe it! For her birthday we are just going to have little family get together. Carlei is just growing so fast! She is going to be 6 months old tomorrow! It is so crazy! She is just starting to get into 6-9 months. Justin is working and going to school. He is still demanding as ever!! :] He has just so busy and wonderful! We split the chores and who changes diapers and such! Life is great!
