moving, family pictures and mothers day

As always, much has happened since my last post.. Adam finished his school project.. he built this dresser!  

 We moved to a new apartment, which once again, doesnt allow cats.. and I figured with Wellington pulling her tail and constantly trying to eat her cat food, our upcoming move to a diff state, it would be best to find her a new home.  Its still weird not having her!  I miss her at times but not her cat hair all over everything.

 Wellington is now 10 months old!  he is getting to be such a big boy!!!  This is him riding in a cart for the first time.  he loves it.  i love seeing what a kick he gets out of new things- like sitting on the grass.. thats his new favorite.  we are enjoying watching him grow.  he is our lives now.

 our new place is like a split house which has a small backyard with a swing set.  wells loves it, and im loving having more space and AC!!  not to mention it is cheaper than our last place!

 at work i won a giftcard!  thats my excitement at work!  im still working 3 days a week and love it.

 the other week we decided to finally get more family pictures done!  i had my cousin Camille do them.. best decision ever!  i love how they turned out.  here are a few.. ok a lot.  but i love them all so i narrowed it down just a bit.

 adam doesnt like how he looks evil in this one..

 dont worry, he ate plenty of petals!  i think this is one of him swallowing..

 and long story short, i have a model for a son!  isnt he such a stud?

we were able to give pictures to our moms and grandmas for mothers day, so that worked out well.. and this is what i got!  adam was amazing as always and let me sleep in, and i woke up to the smell of bacon instead of a crying child.. i have yet to redeem the back massage coupon.. little things like that that dont cost any money are the best!  my simple day to day life of being a wife and mother is great.  im sleep deprived and have a messy house at times, but i wouldnt have it any other way.  i am blessed.

time flies by...

about every month it hits me... i havnt posted anything about what we have been up to in quite a while.. mostly because i am always up to something! we have been doing a lot. my latest project- using my new sewing machine that i got from my mom for christmas! my first project was making a car seat cover...

i have 100 different settings for stitches on my machine! its fun to play around with the different settings, but im still having a hard time making my back stitches not as visible.
then i made two baby blankets. im hoping to get up the courage to make some easy skirts for myself some time soon...

wellington is now 7 1/2 months old and weighs 20 pounds... he is obsessed with eating and rolling from one side of our living room to the other, only to find himself trapped under a side table or playing with our drapes. annie and him are great friends- i think they have a deal going on that if wellington can pull on her fur, then annie can lay on his changing pad 24/7.
big news! adam and i are now able to reenact Red Lobsters biscuits!! thanks to pinterest, i have a huge list of new recipies to try.
oh and i made drapes! So thats our happenings in a nut shell!

A new year!

Looking back on this past year I cant believe all that has happened.

graduating hair school in oct of 2010 and getting a job that i love a few weeks later which ive been at since.

finding out that we were pregnant in november of 2010.

losing my dad to cancer in march.

celebrating 4 years of marriage in june.

delivering the cutest baby boy ever in july.

till now- now we are here in 2012 happy and healthy and in short, blessed beyond belief. it was a year of highest of highs and lowest of lows. looking back i cant believe how much we have grown. im so grateful for the overwhelming love that has come into my life, i cant imagine a day without my little wellington. im so grateful to my heavenly father for all that he has done this past year for me, both emotionally and physically. im excited to see what this next year brings!

Christmas and pranks!

its christmas time! my favorite time of the year! adam and i have had so much fun putting lights up ourside for the first time, decorating, baking, etc. this is our little place from the outside!
its hard to see, but this is our porch with some big ornaments hanging
this is my favorite christmas gift! my sister made this for a relief society project.. thats right, MADE this!
haha.. random picture, but this is what happends when people spread rumors on facebook that i am pregnant again! our downstairs neighbors took advantage of the fact that i forgot to logout on their computer... and so i decided to be nice and rake up all of the leaves from our backyard! this is their back door.
our nativity scene
tree

coffee table- same as last year, but still my favorite idea ever
and last but not least... look what adam made in class! he is AMAZINGLY talented.

Wellingtons finished room

i realize its been forever... i forgot to post wellingtons finished room!


thrift store picture frames plus printed off pictures from the web= art!
and that can thing on the left is his formula container! i decided that i needed a spot to keep all of the pacifiers safe from annie (she thinks they are toys that she can play with)
my mom got wellington a nativity scene

Halloween!

We have been having so much fun torturing Wellington... I feel like my photos have doubled since having him! I cant believe fall has come and gone (for utah that is)... Wellington will be 4 months old next week!





We had fun carving pumpkins with our friends...

and i had fun laughing at everyones costume at work...


Wellington was a monkey, i was a 50s housewife and adam was steve jobs
I am such a slacker on our blog, but thats ok, that means ive been having fun doing other things! i have been enjoying playing with my little guy and cuddling him as much as i can. i have also been having a lot of fun at work 3 days a week. at first i was so worried that id miss my baby too much, but i think it just makes me appreciate him that much more when i have my days off. doing hair and seeing all of my sweet clients and friends at work is a lot easier than taking care of a new born thats for sure! adam has also been able to spend time with Wells and its cute to see how close they have gotten. Other random updates, i now teach the 8 year olds in primary! they are fun. Adam is working on some fun projects in school. I am working out with my friend three days a week.. we go jogging with our strollers or do a work out video... then just visit. well thats about it!
