EXHAUSTED!

That is a fitting title! I am sooooo exhausted and we aren't even halfway through the semester! I don't understand why last semester was easier than this semester! It doesn't make sense. My class load is easier and I have two days off a week! Grr! I wish they would just hand me my degree already!

Alright, enough griping! Good/happy news time:

I am doing a lot of vinyl lately!!! I am so excited because it is way fun to do plus I get to make money and stay home!!! I just wish I did five times the amount I'm doing now! I am also just one more semester away from graduation!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

Colin is doing well. He has a really heavy workload this semester, but he seems to be doing well. He had his first exam today so I guess we'll see... He is enjoying Gideon more and more. It is so fun to see him be such a loving daddy!

Gideon is walking everywhere! I can't believe how fast he is...especially when I'm trying to get a diaper or clothes on him. If I don't have absolutely everything in my hands when I go to change him, I end up spending 15 minutes chasing a naked little boy around! ;) He is such a talker. Most of his day is spent talking to his toys, me, daddy, or absolutely no one! HAHA! He is turning one next month. I'm so happy/sad/excited/depressed over the whole thing.

Oh yeah, and since you are all wondering: we will have one more baby then we'll call it quits. No one is more excited than Colin! I'm getting kinda excited, but I definitely don't want any more! It isn't because I don't want to go through that, I don't mind being pregnant and labor and all that glorious stuff. I just don't want anymore. Can't see it, so I won't do it.

Ok, enough rambling. I just thought you should all read it here. Everyone always asks me when we're going to have more kids, if we're having more kids, why don't I want kids, etc. etc. So now you all know! Quit buggin' me ;)! lol! Love you all!

The Terrible Blogger: Starring...ME!

Ok so I'm not so great at this blogging thing! At least I'm trying! Updates:

Colin and I have started our last year of undergrad at Utah State.

Gideon is fully mobile walking and trying to run EVERYWHERE! But he is so cute and we love him so much...despite the trouble he gets into! LOL!

Colin and I are celebrating our second anniversary on Monday so we will be going to Yellowstone TODAY!!!

Anyway, my class is about to start so I'll try to do better and keep you posted SOONER!

It's that time!

Well, it is family reunion time once again! It is always so fun to see my Dad's side of the family all gathered together celebrating soooooo many years of happiness, love, and history! We are heading down on Thursday night and will be staying until Sunday.

O YEAH! I totally forgot to tell you....Gideon cut his first tooth! It was so funny because we were at the pool one day and this little girl asked me if he had any teeth yet and just as I was sticking my finger into his mouth and saying "No, not yet" I FEEL A TOOTH! It was so cool, but I feel so bad when it hurts him! Thank goodness for Baby Orajel! HAHA!

Yesterday, Gideon and I went to the pool with Colin's boss's wife Delia and her two kids. We had so much fun together and I really like Delia! She is so cute! She has two boys and he youngest is only two weeks older than Gideon! It was a WAY fun time!

EXHAUSTED!

Hello everyone!

We just got back from ten days back East with our families and we are already in need of a vacation from our vacation! It was a wonderful trip, though! Some of the highlights:

• Seeing my cousin Maria and her kids
• Seeing my cousin Suzanne and her boyfriend
• Seeing all of Colin's family
• Seeing my endowment escort, Kim Palumbo and her family
• Playing in D.C. with my parents, Colin's parents, Patrick, and Kevin
• Playing in Ocean City, MD
• Seeing the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD
• Going to Havre de Grace and Bel Air
• Going to Gettysburg and watching a re-enactment
• Going to Gettysburg on a date with Colin

Not to worry, I will post pictures soon!

Gideon at the Zoo!

Here is a WAY cute video of Gideon and my sister, Heather, at Hogle Zoo! I love the smile on Heather's face because I know she is ready for a baby!!! Hopefully, I'll have a niece or nephew from them soon!

That's one small step for Gideon, one GIANT leap for...well, Gideon!

So Gideon has started the walking thing! He stands up on his own and takes about two steps then falls on his bottom! I can't believe it! It just amazes me that in eight short months my baby has learned how to roll, crawl, and now walk! I cannot believe how amazing these little babies are! I think about the time it takes me to learn something new and that just makes it even more amazing! How can anyone not believe in God? This just wouldn't be possible without Him!

Anywho, I am way excited about Gideon's walking. I hope that he gets really good at it by the time we go back East!!! That way we can surprise all of Colin's family! Oh yeah, I really want to get in touch with my family who lives back East but don't have their number. Does anyone have Maria's contact info? If you do, call me!
