Ok... I'm not promising to post super often, but at least once a year ;)
Updates on life:
+ Baby boy is not such a baby anymore. He's 2 yrs + 3 months
- He bites us when he's excited when we wrestle
- His cheeks are still so, so soft and kissable. He got all the white peach fuzz back from when he was a baby and his leg hair is blonde.
- He loved nursery with the Fabis family and is now getting used to new leaders. Bless their hearts! I'm already tired by the end of church, I can't imagine how tired they must be!
- He's talking a bunch and is now in a toddler bed. He comes to our bed at night. It's so nice not having to get up to get him!
- He understands everything in Spanish but seems to have a preference for speaking in English.
+ Spring 2018
- In April, I started a quilt! I'm following this pattern! I've been looking at it for more than 2 years and I finally committed! Choose colors is the hardest thing because I wasn't patient enough to order the same ones in the pattern. I wanted it gender-neutral. The whole purpose of this quilt was to grieve. It sure has helped! And I've gotten super frustrated, too, when H runs all over what I lay out on the ground! I have to finish it this Fall because it got too warm to sew!
- I got the drive to launch a website for Clayton Photo + Design once and for all. It's been eating at me and it just had to get done!
- We added another lens to our gear! It's a wider, zoom lens, so now we can take better photos of our family and other families :)
+Summer & Travels
- We got to go to Rexburg, ID for baby brother + wife's graduation at BYU-I!
- We got to stay with D's family for a few days. It was so hot but we tried to stay outside doing things, like a long walk/hike by the river, walking by the lake/dock, and driving up the mountain to Lake Cleveland.
- We got to visit H's great-grandma and had a little birthday party for him and I at the park in Boise. - - We weren't sure about housing for the graduation, but ended up staying in a really pretty place near Beaver Dick on Henry's Fork.
- This trip was weird and fun.
- We finally got out West in the summer (we always go Nov/Dec when it's cold) and got some Karie Anne's gelati! So good! The last time we had it was in 2014. And of course, got our Apple-Peach Martinelli's, Broulim's New York Crunch Sushi rolls, and splurged on Jamba Juice (there's only a couple back home and they're far away :(
-OH!!! And the BEST PART of this trip was going to the Rexburg Temple to do sealings (marrying a wife and husband, and their family, for time and all eternity) on July 24, 2018, one day shy of our 6th wedding anniversary! My parents were in town long enough to watch H and it was so special. I love Rexburg and the temple and all the special memories we have there!
- I made my first naked cakes for my sister's baby shower! They turned out pretty yummy.
+ Fall 2018
- We have a baby niece! My first niece ever! She's super cute and we can't wait to meet her in person. When L came to town in the summer to visit and for her baby shower, H acted all weird and didn't want to be close to her. We think he sensed the baby!
- D & I signed up for a photography class online to improve and grow our business! It's been so nice learning together and doing more of it together. It takes us back to being in school and doing design work for our classes together!
- We also signed up for a self-reliance class that Church offers to grow our businesses. It's been great so far, but another night away from home.
- ConfettiDots on Etsy is growing :)
- M is still serving the Young Women at Church and D is still Elder's Quorum president. That keeps us both busy and H restless after Church... we've lost him twice and it was the scariest thing ever.
- M is still working from home, while H is awake :( If he does nap, it's at like 4pm.
