Big Brown Eyes

This is my new favorite picture of Jake. Can you even believe how adorable he is?

Just yesterday Jake started clapping...it is so cute watching him put his hands together. The past month or so he would get really excited when someone around him clapped, and now he joins in and it is so much fun to watch.

Just today as we were leaving church Britton and I told Jake he's the best thing that's ever happened to us...we really love this little guy!

8 months!

My precious little man is 8 months old! It's been so much fun the past 8 months and I think it gets even more fun with every day! (minus the teething days...) I really love this kid.

Some pics of Jakey in his jammies. Look at those eyelashes...

Daddy's Favorite Time of Year!

College football has begun!

Jake was really fussy and Mommy had homework to do, so we let him watch a little football. The Huskies lost, but they're looking a lot better than last year!

I survived the first week!

It really wasn't that bad...the days that we were supposed to be in the lab for 8 hours we were only there for 2 or 3...and that's not going to last. And my hardest class, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, has so far just been review of stuff I've already learned. Phew! I know it will get harder though.
My sister Jamie teases me that the only reason I want to be a nurse is because you get to wear scrubs to work. It is true that I hate wearing uncomfortable clothes to work, or just in general, it's not the ONLY reason I want to be a nurse... :) I am excited, I'm finally learning about things that I want to learn about! Hopefully I can keep my head above water, I'm taking 17 credits!

Here We Go...

I start nursing school on Monday! Holy Smokes!!! Here's a couple of pictures with me and then with Jake and my huge stack of books! What am I getting myself into??? It's been a long couple of weeks getting ready for nursing school...I almost backed out, but I now have much more peace about doing it. I know it's the right thing.

I had to throw these to pictures in just for kicks. We thought Jake looked like a model posing for a picture in this first one.

Who can resist this chubby fella? He's so kissable it's insane!!!

Jake's Talking!

He only does it for a couple seconds in this video, but I wanted to post it anyways. I love the way his mouth looks when he does it!!!

Big Changes!

Hello Everyone!
We made it to Kennewick and life is good! We've had some big changes in our little world.

Today we found out that Britton got a job as an Estimator for A & B Asphault here in the Tri-Cities. He starts tomorrow and he is so excited (as am I!)

Jake started eating solids! He's had rice cereal, oatmeal, peas, carrots, and diluted apple juice.
Which means: his poop is now nasty but he's been sleeping through the night (which I think can be mainly attributed to him being far enough away that we don't hear him every time he cries.

Jake is sitting up! I should have put pictures of that in the collage but I haven't taken any yet. Next post.

And my own big changes haven't come yet...nursing school starts August 24!!

We miss all of our Rexburg friends...pllleeeease keep in touch!
