New Beginings

At the End of December Mike graduated from Brigham Young University- Idaho. He graduated in Earth Science Education. He still has to his student teaching this semester. He is teaching at Sugar Salem High School, just out side of Rexburg. So we are staying here in Rexburg till April and then heading to Colorado for the summer.




My parents came for Christmas a couple of days ofter Mike's parents had left. We had a quite Christmas eve and Christmas. On Christmas day we got to talk to my brother who is on a mission in London England. It was nice to hear from him again.



On new years eve our stake had a dance. Since we are the head of the activities committee for our ward we were responsible for helping decorate. There was pizza, games and dancing. It was a great time especially when my sister surprised us at the event. We had a great couple of days with Alena and Dan. Sadly Hunter did not show up when they were here.



We waited all Christmas break to see if I would go into labor but I did not. On the night of the 3rd we went in to the hospital to start my induction. My water broke around 4 in the morning. They did not start the patosin until 8 am on the monday.
About 7 hours later Hunter was born on January 4th 2010 at 3:05pm. He was 7lbs 9 oz and 20 in long.


For the first couple of days he slept all day and was awake all night crying. He is now a week and a half. and sleeps well at night only waking to eat. We is such a joy in our lives and we love him so much.




He had a little jaundice for a couple of days. He needed to ware a bili blanket. Here is him with it on.

Thank full at thanksgiving.

We set up our Christmas Tree before we left because mike could not wait any longer.


Mike had the whole week off of school for thanksgiving. We had a few things that we needed to do before heading down to Provo for the week. For one I still had to get my H1N1 shot.

We drove down to Utah on Monday night. On Tuesday Alena still had school so we went to the Temple and shopping.

We tried to go to the new IN-N-OUT burger in Provo. But the we were so hungry we could not wait in the huge line the was out side and in the drive though.
On Tuesday night we meat up with one of my old friends from Ottawa at her house in Provo. Then we meet up with Alena and Dan to watch New MOON. I thought it was all right but I had just finished reading the book and the left out some of my favorite lines from Edward.

On Wednesday we went shopping again, because mike was frantically looking for a hat with an NHL team on it. We finally had time to wait in line for IN-N-OUT. I loved the fries but my burger was soggy by the end. Mike liked his four-by-four.



We were on our way to a Hockey game when we got in a car accident. Every one was OK and when we got home we had a doctors appointment and Hunter is doing great, he ended up kicking the monitor right on. I think he is another soccer player in the works.


We ended up going to the Hockey have just a little late and we all had a fun time. Utah won against Alaska 3-1.

On Thursday we spent the day with Dan's family at his grandma's and we also went to see the movie blind side. If you have a chance to watch this movie you should. It was funny and sad all in one. It had a little bit for every one.


On Friday we did a little shopping on Black Friday. We just got some movies on sale, while we were there we also bought some baby items. Latter in the day we went to see the lights on Temple square.


Mike is on a floor hockey team again this semester here are some pictures.
