A new year!

Alright, so since it is winter, work has been kind of slow and I am off track right now so no school, so I have been getting my craftiness out in me! I decided to make a Quiet Book for Nixon so that when we are in church, he can stop driving me bonkers in Sacrament meeting! I am kind of cheap and I want to finish it quick, so it will not be like the one I dream up in my head, but better than nothing!
I looked at buying one, and thought they were so boring, and expensive really for what you get. So far I have spent 4$ on my project, and I do not think I will have to spend anymore unless I decide to add more things into it.
Here are a few pictures of my book, I just started last night, so I still have a lot of work to do! The football is going to have a shoe string in it for learning how to tie bows and such!

A few pictures from before since I suck at keeping up with my blog. Here is Christmas! Below:

Here is our time at the cabin for a nice after Christmas get away!

It has been so BLOODY COLD our door was freezing up inside... below...

Below: Another picture showing how freaking cold its been!

Well with the cold upon us, and with no stress in my life currently, I am going to continue with some crafts and hopefully come out with some good stuff.

In recent news, if some of you did not know I got a new job! I work for Kartchner Homes and it is awesome, the guys I work with are great and it has been a very good opportunity.  It is slow being winter time and since it has been so cold it has slowed the projects we have down, and actually brought our commercial project to a halt for now.

We are excited that this is our last year in Rexburg, and we look forward to making the most of the cold and enjoying our time with our friends, because this time next year we will either be in Vegas or somewhere in Arizona doing Jeff's student teaching.  So here is to a great last year living it up in Rexburg!!!

Catch-up Time!

Well a semester has come and gone since I have blogged... probably due to the fact I worked 2 jobs and went to school full time! Well, I love it! I have missed school!

Anyways, Nixon is getting huge! He is starting to say more and more words that I have no idea he even heard of before. This summer he got stitches twice in 2 weeks. Yupp our kid is that kid...or we are those parents haha I have not decided yet! Lets just say the kid needs a little more fear...and stairs are a weakness for him. For the summer, I worked in Idaho most of it, while Jeff was in Canada working on the farm. Nixon and I went back and forth to see him and work. I will never do that again! Too much driving, and Nixon slept in too many places making for bad sleeps, cranky baby making a cranky mama!

I got to see lots of family though and some friends. One of the days my mom and I spent a whole day making and canning salsa! It was way too much work and I have not touched it yet I am all Salsa'd out!

We had a lot of fun at my parents cabin, Jeff was trying some new wakeboard tricks and Nixon really enjoyed the water while it was warm out. Apparently we didn't have enough rough tube rides for him though since he would often start yawning or fall asleep on the tube.

We are getting geared up to start the Fall semester tomorrow and are eager to get done with school. We are only half way, but there is ending in sight! Sorry if we missed you this summer, we missed a lot of people and would have loved more time with friends and family, but hopefully next year!

He has grown so much! This is from March!

 He loves his spaghetti.

Winter Semester 2012

It has been way too long since I last posted, so I figured I should get on here and fill you all in!

Nixon has been growing so much and getting so big.  He just gets to be more and more fun all of the time and we are completely enjoying this stage!  He walks around 24/7 and is just so crazy, but he is just so cute and funny you gotta love em!

Nixon turned 1 on Jan 29, so we had a mini mini party for him.  Grandma and Grandpa Hall were here to celebrate with us, so we got some pizza and Nixon enjoyed his sugary cake!  I made Nixon a 3 tier topsy-turvy cake... it was a mini version of course, and he loved it!

 This was just a cup cake - his first one though!

 Present from G&G Kenly!

 The cake I made him!

 Nixons Church outfit.

 Nixon got his 1 year shots - had to get 6 of them! He was tough though like always!

All of his band aids made me laugh!
