The House

Currently we are in the process of sheet rocking our house. They told us that we should be in our house before August 1st. We will see what happens. I will post more pictures tomorrow after I get a few more that are updated.

Breaks my heart!!

Sunday morning Andy's friend pasted away. He was diagnosed with Leukemia just last friday and died 2 days later. It is so sad to here this. His wife is pregnant with twins right now and is due in October. I hurt for her. She is so strong and will fight through this trial. He is a great man and I know that he is holding his babies and taking care of them in heaven. Here is the Link to his blog. Prepare yourself to cry.

My Wake Up Call.......

As I am sitting here at work tonight blog stocking..... I have come across so many blogs with people who know people with cancer. People with wife's, husbands, kids, pregnant, etc....... It kills me to read these blogs and read the things they write. Like.... one blog said "He feels well enough to go on a date tonight. Yay for us!" I think to myself really???? Thats what she is excited about?? I must get my crap together! Why do I stress about all the things that don't matter, when this poor lady is thinking about the last days with her husband and she is so excited that she gets to go on a date with him. I want to cry... okay maybe I did. I must get my priorities straightened out. I think to myself I need to cherish the time with my family. Many times I have cleaned the house while Noah plays with his toys by himself. What if something happened to him( I know I can do the "what if's" all day) or like when I have blogged instead of paying attention to Andy and not given him undivided attention??? I know this sounds extreme but really in life what matters to me is my family. They are all I have no matter what, they are there through the thick and thin. I love them. I am so lucky to have a healthy husband and son. Lately I have been so caught up in building our house and other things that really dont matter. I hate that I have let myself get to that point. I have so many things I have got to work on to be better. Andy is so good.. I never have to worry about him telling me that he loves me or him giving Noah attention. He is so good, I am sure I bring him down. I am a very lucky girl and have many things to be grateful for. My dad has always said... "all we need to survive is family, roof over our head, and food." Why do I worry about stupid decorations for my house that I really dont need???? (just an example of the many) Lets just say tonight was a great eye opening experience for me. Maybe a wake up call??? Sorry about this crazy post. I had to get it off my chest. Here are a few of my fav pictures.

Please pray for him.....

Andy's mission companion has testicular cancer. They have found it in other place and he has been in remission a few times, and it is back. They have twins on the way and are so excited but they just found out he has a tumor around his spine that could paralyze him if they don't get rid of it. This is so sad.....please pray for him. This is his blog if you want to look at it.

15 month check up

Today we went to Noahs 15 month check up. He did not have to get shots so that was good. But here are his stats....

Weight 21 lbs 5oz -8%

Length 33 in - 90%

Head 90%

He is a little skinny but I promiseI feed the poor kid. I cant believe how big he is getting, he is talking so much and makes me and Andy laugh all the time.

Our house should be just about to start soon. The building permit is in and they are just waiting for that to come back so they can start digging. We are getting so excited. We move out of our house and in to Janet's (mother in law) in two weeks. I hope we dont drive them nuts. :)

Here is a picture of our lot...

Happy Easter/Picture Overload....

Prepare yourself for a picture overload. For Easter we went to Salt Lake and stayed in a hotel that had a waterpark inside it. I think me and Andy were more excited to take Noah swimming than anything else. We watched conference on Saturday then we headed down to the pool. Me and Andy went to get Noah a tube and Andy had to get just the right one. For some odd reason Andy loves the tubes with the jump suit on them. So..... I just let Andy pick it out and this is what we got. It was hilarious to watch Noah run around with the tube on. He loved swimming. We had a blast with all of our family!! We want to go back already. I have pictures of when JD and Annie came and had dinner with us last weekend. Noah loves Ellie, they are so cute together. I am glad to see another child as busy as mine...she may be more busy then Noah. :) She is adorable. This post explains our life lately.....unorganized. I am expecting it to be that way the next few months...... I am going to hang on for the ride!!! BTW I HATE MOVING AND PACKING... I never want to move again!!

*** Sorry about all the pictures being out of order. My computer is being dumb so.... I am just lucky to have them uploaded on to my blog.

The Classic Pic... Noah didn't want to take a pic and Andy being a goofball as usual.

Family photo shoot. haha :) Gotta love ANDY!! haha

Andy in the pool with the kiddos

With selling our house and building a new house I have had a pen and paper a lot and Noah has been carrying around a pen and paper just like me. They learn so fast.

Ready to go swimming

A few days ago trying to get a picture together....this is all we got. I love him

I have been packing and he is such a great help to pull everything out of the boxes but I found him in here the other day. It made me laugh.

Andy, Ellie and Noah

Noah and Ellie

This video is of Noah feeding Hemi. We got home from our trip and we found Noah sitting in front of the door to the back porch feeding Hemi. It was so stinkin cute me and Andy just sat there quietly and watched him feed Hemi. We want to get rid of her before we move but after seeing how cute they were together we are having second thoughts.
