Better late than never

Well we had a great Christmas break. Rich had a lot of time off so we finished up some projects around the house, spent a lot of time with family playing plenty of games, and a lot of rock band! That is our favorite. Ate lots of food and rang in the new year with all of Rich's family over for a fun filled night and a sleep over.

Lytton loved opening his presents and after each one he liked he would say ohhhh he was so cute!

3 years down an eternity to go.

Three years ago today I was sealed to my eternal companion in the Columbia River Temple. I remember it being a great day! We had the sealing then afterward we had a luncheon for our guests and later that night a reception. We went to Utah for our honeymoon. Exciting right I know, but it was great we found this little resort tucked into the mountains, and it was quiet and away from everything. It had everything we needed in the resort so we never had to leave. It had a fabulous restaurant, hot tub, pool, sauna, and we did couple massages. It snowed everyday we were there and had a great view looking out into the snow. We also took advantage of all the wonderful temples in Utah. We did a session at the Logan Temple and Salt lake Temple. In fact in Salt Lake we were the WITNESS couple! It was a great experience, but I am not going to lie I was so nervous seeming how I haven't even had my endowments out for a week yet!
Some days it feels like we have been married a lot longer, but I also can't believe its already been three years. 4 moves later and one special sweet little boy I am so happy to be where I am right now, with Rich and to have the gospel in our lives.

FREEDOM

Freedom from what you may ask???........BOTTLES!





I have finally done it Lytton is bottle free and I want to shout it to the world. I am only 3 months behind my scheduling, I wanted to have him free of it by a year, but I guess we took our time. I am just so glad I finally buckled down and got to business. He takes his naps and goes to bed on his own now he doesn't need a bottle as a crutch, and since he never took a pacifier I don't have to worry about that. Everyone is sleeping better and its awesome. Yeah us!

This is Rich when he was little he was so darn cute! (and still is)

Today is a day to remember our Veterans and everything they did for us to live in this free country. Today is also my Husband's birthday, and he is also my hero. He is a great provider for us so that I can stay home and raise our son, which is a great blessing! He also is a great help around the house whether its putting Lytton to bed or clearing the table after dinner is done and working hard on the dishes while I finish eating. Last night we had family over for root beer floats and cupcakes to celebrate his birthday, and we had a great time. I hope everyone has a great Veterans day, and Happy Birthday Babe!

Finally!

Well we are all moved in and feeling cozier than ever here in our new house this fall! The downside to moving is getting everything re hooked up, and unfortunately the internet has taken a while to make it to our house. I can not believe October is already over. We had a great Halloween and are loving the cold dark nights where we can snuggle up together in our OWN house! Finally! Have a great weekend!

3 days and counting....

Our house is done and we move on Friday! At first I though this day couldn't come fast enough. Back in June we decided that living with my parents would be best while our house was being built. Our lease in our apartment was up that month and having to pay rent and save up for a down payment just didn't seem realistic. So my parents agreed and we moved in on June 9th! Well back then if you would of asked me if I was ready to leave I would say yes in a heart beat. Now well I am not so sure. Of course I am ready to move into our nice new house, and get organized cause lets face it we don't have much space here, but I am going to miss my mom a lot! she has been such a big help while we have been living here. She has babysat Lytton I don't even know how many times, shopped for the groceries, and been good company for me while Rich has been working. So this weekend is going to be bitter sweet for everyone!
