I just wanted to post some pictures of Jack recently in his church attire! Aaron did his hair this morning and tried to part it, but jack instantly ran his hands through his hair and messed it up, so Aaron gave him a Mohawk.
We are so excited Aaron just got a job working as a case manager for a place called La Clincia. He will be getting benefits and making a lot more money than he has been. He is going to be starting his job on Monday. We are so thankful for all of the prayers and support we have received from family and friends. We are really enjoying it in Washington, we have met a lot of really nice people and we don't have to go to school what a plus!
I also wanted to give an update on Jack. He is talking so much! He has started talking in sentences, it is a lot of fun to see him grow and learn. Here are some of the phrases that he says:
Our dude!
On our trip to the beach we got to eat at a restaurant overlooking the ocean it was so pretty!
Our trip to the beach. We had a contest to see who could go the farthest into the ocean, Aaron won, I was a chicken!
Well Aaron and I offically graduated from BYU and we are now living in Washington. Aaron is on the search for a Job in Social Work, and I am loving being a stay at home mom. At graduation my cap fell off my head as I walked across the stage. Of course this could and would only happen to me. I would say I was a little embarssed. Jack will be 17 months in two days. He is so so silly! Today we also found out that we are going to be having a baby boy September 17th. We are both very excited. But we are also worried that jack will teach his little brother his wicked ways. Ha ha. It was so neat to get the ultra sound today. The baby was laying on his stomach so they were not able to see everything they wanted to, so we get to have another ultrasound in July. Here is a video of Jack being Jack. He is making a funny face over and over cause he knows it makes me laugh:
In other news Aaron's parents got us a graduation/honeymoon trip, since we never made it to our honeymoon due to the car accident. My parents also gave us some money for the trip. We were able to go to the Beach and we even saw two whales. We slept in Yurts on the beach it was very rainy but a lot of fun. We also went to a Seattle Mariners game and the Cheese Factory in Tillamook. We also got to stay in three different Bed and Breakfasts. It was our first time to stay in a bed and breakfast, and it was really cool. The food was great! It was so so nice to relax and take a break. We were gone for eight days, Aaron's parents watched Jack for us. It was hard to be away from him for that long. We were all excited to see eachother. I will post pictures from our trip and graduation later, the computer is being slow.
Jack turns 16 months today! He has grown so much. One thing he loves to do is count to three. I say one, two, and then he says three. Aaron loves to throw Jack on the couch and Jack is also a big fan. Aaron will ask what comes after two, Jack will giggle and then say three, then Aaron will toss him on the couch. Here is a video of him saying three. He also disses me and refuses to give me a high five, but I love him anyway.
Jack has also discovered the joy of tickling, like father, like son! He thinks that he is pretty funny:
Here are some other pictures from the past little while, enjoy:
With our Tax return money Aaron bought me a plane ticket to see my family in Amarillo. At the end of April we are going to be moving to Washington and living with his family for about a year, so he wanted to give me the chance to visit my family! It was a wonderful surprise. I was really nervous about taking Jack on a plane, cause he is a crazy little dude! Well he was good on the plane, he even thought it was funny, but he was awful in the airport. On our return home our plane was delayed an hour so we waited for about four hours in the airport, a mothers worst nightmare.
Jack was awful!!!! He wanted to walk around the airport, but continually walked into the bathroom, and then tried to walk down the escalators. When I picked him up he would smack me in my face and try to pull off my glasses. I would then turn him around so he could not hit me, and he would headbutt, and pinch me. I felt like everyone was looking at me and thinking "why can't you control your son." I was ready to give him away to a stranger. I have to say he is lucky he is still alive. Ha ha. Other than the awful flight we had a wonderful time. We surprised my little sisters, and they all just ate jack up. So here are some pictures from our trip:
Well the semester is half way over, which means that we are almost graduating! We are so excited to be done with school. This semester has been a busy one. I am doing an internship, watching my brother's two little ones, and trying to keep up with Jack, and the messes he makes. Aaron has been working his tail off. He is taking 20 credit hours, doing an internship, and working. Needless to say he is very tired. We are so thankful for all of the help and support we have received from friends and family.
About a month ago Juan helped us do our taxes, and did a wonderful job! Getting that done was such a stress relief, and it gave us money we needed to get our car looked at. I know that Cami and Juan would do anything for anybody.
After we got our tax money back I lost Aaron's keys. I looked for a good month and was not able to find them. So I went to get keys made and found out that our car keys have a chip in them. It cost me almost $200 to get a new car key. While the car dealership made new keys they also checked our fluids. They told us we needed a transmission, coolant, power steering, and brake flush, which would cost a little more than $600 dollars. We have had bad luck with car dealerships, so I said no thank you and called other places. I finally took our car into Honest-One Auto care. They checked our fluids and said we did not need a coolant flush, go figure. We ended up paying $245 dollars to get everthing else done. They did a great job and I will defintly go back to them any time I need any thing worked on! I recommend them to everybody!! They are off of Bulldog in Provo, next to the Mc Donalds. I am so grateful that there are still honest people in this world.
