Life as we know it..



(This is Jax in his jumper, he doesn't quite get it yet, but still super cute!)

Well I have become quite the blog slacker lately. SO much has happened lately! October has been a CrAzY month! First off, Conference weekend the Malan family threw Chelsi and I a combined shower for her wedding and for Jax! It was so much fun! It was SO crazy I was having deja vu the whole time because I still cannot get used to the fact that my best friend all through high school is now my sister in law! I love it! Sadly, I have no pictures because I forgot my camera :( But, hopefully I can get some from someone! It was so much fun though and Jax got some great things that we really needed. It was really nice having a shower when he was like 4 1/2 months old cuz he got all the stuff he needed for winter and bigger things!

The next weekend we spent in Park City with Josh's family. They had a time share they had to use so we all went up there and played games and stayed the night! It was so fun to be with everyone. Except Jax for some reason did not sleep AT ALL that night and so Josh and I were dead. It's so weird cuz he has been sleeping 8-10 hours for months now...he was fine after that too, it was just that weekend. Weird....

The next weekend we made the LONG drive to St. George. I am not used to it taking that long to get there because being from Richfield it is not far from St. George at all. On the way down we broke it up and stayed in Richfield the first night. The next day we finished driving to St. George. On Saturday we spent the day at the pool, playing volleyball, and tennis! Jaxson got in his first BIG pool and he liked it! At first he just kind of laid there and didn't know what was going on. Then he started splashing like he always does in the tub. That kid LOVES water. On Sunday it was my cousin's homecoming so we went to that and then headed home. Jax did pretty good and slept clear till Nephi!! Thank goodness. It was a really fun weekend though, just a long drive with a baby!




This last week Josh was gone for a work trip to Vegas, so I went to Richfield to stay with my parents. On Thursday I observed and taught my first lesson in a classroom! It was kinda scary but so fun! I am so glad I am going into teaching I think I am going to love it. I taught first graders and they were so cute! Friday my Mom and I went shopping and it was SO fun! I have not been shopping since like high school. Seriously, like all my clothes are from high school so it was MUCH needed! Saturday we hung out and Sunday was a marathon church day. I had to sing in two wards and go to a farewell! It was crazy but it was so fun! Oh, Jax also got his pictures taken in his Halloween costume. He is going to be Shrek because he has those little skin tags on his ears and we always call him Shrek! Here are a few of my favorites! Thank you Michelle for doing such an awesome job!







Last but not least, I FINALLY got Jaxson's room all finished and decorated. I had to paint and sand his letters, and now I'm not sure I like the colors....but oh well I can re-paint them if I get the urge one day. I really like the way it turned out! It is a cute little sports themed room. I really like the wall decals that match his bedding set. Babies R Us has the cutest sets that everything matches!
