Big Jud's

We are trying to visit all the places we have not been to yet here in Idaho before we leave. One of those places is Big Jud's. They have large burgers and really good ones. Mike had a one pound burger. I just had a regular size burger, but have most of Mike's fries.
We have also been going on walks almost every day, even though it is still windy out. The weather is not bad but the Idaho wind is a killer.

Hunter and Keenan the best of friends

We are almost all packed. All of our things leave on Monday just four days from now. We leave in a week. Crazy.



I went visiting teaching on day and got Hunter ready. Just before I left I put my ensign on his car seat. A minute later I turn around to this.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I was really excited for St. Patrick's day since I forgot to were red on valentines day. So Hunter and I had a couple of green outfits.

First a comfy outfit to lounge around the house with.


Second to go out to playgroup in.

A close up of hunters St. Patrick's Day outfit.

I have been making pudding a lot lately since it is cheep and really easy to make and really good to eat. I saw this recipe on the side of the pistachio pudding box. I liked it a lot.

I have been scrapbooking lately with my friend Lisa. I decided that I wanted to expand my craft skills and make a banner. I made this all with my cricket cutter.


A little update on Hunter is that he is now over 13 pounds. He can keep his head up for a little wile and he like to smile. He is making lot of noises. He like to dance as my dad says. He likes to wave his hands and legs all over. He has a great grip and grabs onto my hair more and more. He is mostly sleeping through the night.

Here is Hunter holding his head up and smiling.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

March 4th Hunter Turned two months old and on the 5th it was Mike's 24th Birthday.
To celebrate Hunter went to the Doctors. He got his 2 month old shoots. He flinched so badly. He was drowsy and unhappy for the next couple of days.

To celebrate Mike and I went to his favorite restaurant, Craigos. We ate so much that we didn't have room for cake. We also rented three movies he got one for free because it was his birthday. We watched Valkyrie that night. It was alright not the greatest.

Mike with his gifts. I spent a long time on the cards.

I attempted to make my first double layer cake it turned out all right thanks to lots of icing.

Since we didn't have time on Friday to eat Mike's cake we had it with some of our good friends Lisa and Justin. Hunter also had fun with his friend Keenan.

They are so funny together. Hunter always looks like he is punching Keenan. Keenan is always chewing Hunters hand. You can tell that they are best buddies.




We are moving to Frisco Texas. It is right out side of Dallas. We are excited to move but it is stressful to pack your life up. I have lived most of the last five years here in Rexburg and will miss it for the most part. I will miss all the friends that I have made over the years. All of our married life, all of a year and a half we have lived in the same apartment. It will be sad to leave al the good memories we have made, but we are excited to make new ones in Texas.

Tobogganing

For our ward activity to day we went sledding. I wanted Hunter to experience the snow at lest once before we go to Dallas. Here are some pictures.

Mike is sliding down on a pillow.

Pancake tuesday

I made double chocolate chip pancakes for valentines day a little late on Monday and liked them so much I made them again on pancake tuesday.

I made my favorite pancake mix and added two table spoons of coco powder and a hand full of chocolate chips. They almost look like cookies.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

We had a great Valentines Day. Mike and I went on a date to the Craze here in Rexburg. We had fun playing lazer tag and arcade games. Hunter stayed home with his great grandma Alton or now Oma.

We had the opportunity of hearing from one of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Quentin L. Cook. He spoke to our entire stake about 4 prophetic priorities that reflect areas in our lives that we should focus on improving. They include: Increasing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, strengthening families, rescuing those in need, and strengthening the priesthood.

Hunter got some nice clothing from is Oma.

and gran and papa.

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.

We had a fun couple of day for Halloween. On Monday we carved some pumpkins.



Then we went to our ward Halloween party, and I was a pumpkin and mike was a hockey player.
