Hello Again

It has almost been exactly 1 year since my last blog post. Considering the amount of threats I have received for not updating it, I am now going to try and stick with it. So much has happened in the last year. And can I just say that I am looking forward to next year, because this year has not been so great. Don't get me wrong we had a lot of ups, but the downs outweighed it for sure!

As most of you know, Lee got accepted into a nursing program and he started that in January. He is doing an incredible job, and is currently in his Maternal clinical rotation. Can I just say that he was NOT looking forward to this rotation. But come to find out, he actually enjoys it some what. I quote : " It's nice to help someone that actually wants to be in the hospital." He's learning a lot and will graduate in late spring. And where he decides to go from there for his graduate program I will let you know.

When we found out that the program was 5 days a week all day long there was a little panic moment. So we knew what we had to do. We had to say goodbye to our home. As you all know the housing market SUCKS! so we did a lease to own.

Well.........She bailed on the contract and we moved back in to our home in July. To find nothing but a dead yard, weeds as tall as my hip, holes in the wall, and my garage converted into a bedroom. The good news is that we are home where we belong and with much time and effort the house is back to normal.

Breken turned 2 in July. And because if his obsession with BIG TRUCKS we got him a truck that he could drive around the yard. However he had no idea how to work the thing until 3 weeks ago. But he loves now.

No more diapers!!! Breken was fully potty trained a few months ago. And I LOVE it!(I'm sure his teachers at school love it too) I was not looking forward to the whole potty training thing. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch on Monday! Breken had a great time, and picked out a perfect pumpkin.

Well we did! Last weekend we completed the half marathon. 13.1 miles! Lee did great he finished in 2:13 he came in 2nd place. I, on the other hand, finished in over 3 hours. But in my defense I was pushing and holding a 1 year old the whole time. It was a lot of fun and I hope to beat that time one day. Maybe next spring.

Half Marathon

So everybody at work has talked me into running the half marathon with them at the end of Sept. Hello 13 miles is a long way. I am very excited and will need all the support I can get. Wish me luck...Cause I'm going to need it!

I know I know....

I know I know, I am really bad at this whole blog thing. So much has happened. Breken started walking a few months back, and he is just a talkin' away. He has had his first birthday, we went to wheeler farm, and we have been eating a lot of ice cream (pictures posted below) We have moved and are now living in Herriman. Southern Nevada has opened up there South Jordan Campus so Lee can stay home and we can be together. No more moving to Nevada (sorry Bug). We got our yearly family pictures taken and my good friend Mallory did such a great job.
Well that's the last 4 months in a nutshell. :)

Happy Mothers Day

to all the mothers out there!!

Tepinyake

Breken is starting to feel so much better. He has a couple of teeth coming in and they are going to be the death of me. But I think we're almost done with the next two that are coming in. Last night Breken had his first experience at Tepinyake. He loved the fact that grown ups also bang pots and pans together. He thought it was pretty funny. Not to mention the HOT FIRE! That was amazing :) It is so fun to watch him grow and learn, I could watch him explore new things all day long.

Breken currently has 4 teeth two bottom and two top. The newest discovery is watching him bite everything he puts into his mouth. He's like a little mouse and just nibbles on everything.
