MY House

For those of you who haven't heard, we are buying a house!!! Here it is! We love it! 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 1400 square feet. 1187 8th Ave in Thatcher. All it really needs inside is a fresh coat of paint and a good scrub down. Maybe a small remodeling around the fireplace/living room. Oh, and a fridge and dishwasher. Other than that, this house is PERFECT for us. This means so many things for our family, it's insane. 2 blocks from the Stake Center and Park. 2 blocks from the schools, a quarter mile from the college...its just fantastic!!! Anyway, more pictures to come soon. Closing date is June 9th and we couldn't be happier!

Look What I Made - Part 2

After Curtis saw the last project and he figured out it wasnt for him, he FREAKED out. Well the only logical thing to do would be to make something for him out of the same material. At the time he had his melt-down, he was wearing my moms travel pillow around his neck... GENIUS. So here it is! Custom made for Big Brother!

I know this is a good picture (only because of the adorable Jesse bear) but if you want to see GREAT pictures of him, click here. I watched the slide show and cried through it all (blame it on the hormones...or i'm just in love) Thanks again Leah! You have a gift!!!

Look What I Made

While I was pregnant, I found this great tutorial on a car seat cover. I was really excited to make it...and then I forgot all about it. My mother bought me the material and had every intention of making it for me. But we've been busy around here, and things happen...my project took a back seat. This morning I woke up and decided I could do it on my own! So I did! I'm excited to use it! It sure will come in handy at the store, the park, church, etc. I haven't sewn in a couple years so i'm pretty proud of myself.

Jesse just before a bath: 3 weeks old

Thanks Aunt Denise for the awesome CARS!!! Curtis loves them!

An Easter tragedy - Curtis couldnt get to the eggs fast enough on the egg hunt and he had to share with cousins Audree and Olivia. It's so hard to be 3.

I have the best boys in the world!

Sneak Peak

My amazingly talented sister Leah took some pictures of Jesse this weekend while she and her family were down for a visit. Here are just a few to taste!

Week 1

There is something to be said for 2nd babies. I am totally LOVING the newborn phase this time around. Jesse is just a dream baby! I dont know if it's just because i know what to expect, or if he really is just the best baby ever born! I feel like and old pro because he makes it that easy for me. At 4 days old, he was back to his birth weight. That same day was his circumcision, and he screamed through the procedure, but we've hardly heard a peep from him since. He eats every 2-4 hours!!! I get plenty of sleep at night because i nurse him before i go to sleep, and then only twice before it's time to wake up. Physically i feel TOO good. I know i shouldn't, but i would love to go running tomorrow. I'm about 8 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight. My body is bouncing back pretty fast compared to the first time around.

Curtis LOVES his baby brother. We really tried to prepare him emotionally for Jesse to come and flip his world up-side-down, and he has handled it like a champ! He has really taken ownership as well...like when company comes over, he says "this is my baby!" Such a cutie. Curtis loves to hold Jesse and give him his binki. He's even gone as far to say that he loves his baby brother! I thought that would take awhile.

Im in love with my little family. The other night, Clifton went to bed early with Jesse...Curtis was already in bed...and i got to say "all my boys are sleeping!" Im soaking it all in and taking things slow. I feel the blessings from Heaven! How did i get so lucky?!
