A new year!

Looking back on this past year I cant believe all that has happened.

graduating hair school in oct of 2010 and getting a job that i love a few weeks later which ive been at since.

finding out that we were pregnant in november of 2010.

losing my dad to cancer in march.

celebrating 4 years of marriage in june.

delivering the cutest baby boy ever in july.

till now- now we are here in 2012 happy and healthy and in short, blessed beyond belief. it was a year of highest of highs and lowest of lows. looking back i cant believe how much we have grown. im so grateful for the overwhelming love that has come into my life, i cant imagine a day without my little wellington. im so grateful to my heavenly father for all that he has done this past year for me, both emotionally and physically. im excited to see what this next year brings!

Christmas and pranks!

its christmas time! my favorite time of the year! adam and i have had so much fun putting lights up ourside for the first time, decorating, baking, etc. this is our little place from the outside!
its hard to see, but this is our porch with some big ornaments hanging
this is my favorite christmas gift! my sister made this for a relief society project.. thats right, MADE this!
haha.. random picture, but this is what happends when people spread rumors on facebook that i am pregnant again! our downstairs neighbors took advantage of the fact that i forgot to logout on their computer... and so i decided to be nice and rake up all of the leaves from our backyard! this is their back door.
our nativity scene
tree

coffee table- same as last year, but still my favorite idea ever
and last but not least... look what adam made in class! he is AMAZINGLY talented.

Wellingtons finished room

i realize its been forever... i forgot to post wellingtons finished room!


thrift store picture frames plus printed off pictures from the web= art!
and that can thing on the left is his formula container! i decided that i needed a spot to keep all of the pacifiers safe from annie (she thinks they are toys that she can play with)
my mom got wellington a nativity scene

Halloween!

We have been having so much fun torturing Wellington... I feel like my photos have doubled since having him! I cant believe fall has come and gone (for utah that is)... Wellington will be 4 months old next week!





We had fun carving pumpkins with our friends...

and i had fun laughing at everyones costume at work...


Wellington was a monkey, i was a 50s housewife and adam was steve jobs
I am such a slacker on our blog, but thats ok, that means ive been having fun doing other things! i have been enjoying playing with my little guy and cuddling him as much as i can. i have also been having a lot of fun at work 3 days a week. at first i was so worried that id miss my baby too much, but i think it just makes me appreciate him that much more when i have my days off. doing hair and seeing all of my sweet clients and friends at work is a lot easier than taking care of a new born thats for sure! adam has also been able to spend time with Wells and its cute to see how close they have gotten. Other random updates, i now teach the 8 year olds in primary! they are fun. Adam is working on some fun projects in school. I am working out with my friend three days a week.. we go jogging with our strollers or do a work out video... then just visit. well thats about it!

i was attacked...

i was seriously attacked by this HUGE spider... gran-it, i walked into his web, which was in my carport in front of our house. but then adam came out and took care of him... by spraying him with wasp killer.
Wellington has discovered how to control his hands.. a little bit. he tries to hold his bottle whenever we feed him, and this time he was actually strong enough to hold it up on his own. well, long enough for me to take a picture.
he has also found a love for his blanket. just put the blanket on him and hes happy! its really cute.
he is such a happy boy... he makes me a happier person just by looking at him. i still cant believe that he is mine! and this is what 2 1/2 months of being a mommy has taught me...
my kitchen can become very messy...
but its ok... because sooner or later it gets cleaned. (thank you adam for documenting what a huge mess you ended up cleaning up). and even though im a neat freak at heart, i cant help but get caught up in staring at my little guy and cuddling him. im pretty sure hes the cutest thing ive ever laid my eyes on.

events

this post is random.. but here we go! since moving to our new place our dishes have been getting bad.. really bad. and finally after trying different types of dishwasher soap, we found one that works miracles! it is a life changer!! i couldnt believe how bad our dishes had gotten. after doing one load i got really excited and washed the rest of our dishes.

wellington is 2 months old now! here he is all ready for the byu vs utah game... which we will not speak of.. he is starting to smile a lot and loves anyone who talks to him.
he is sleeping a bit better throughout the night.. here he is in some 3month-6month pjs.. i dont think they work out too well for him. he is huge! he is almost 13 pounds and an inch away from 2ft.
we decorated for fall! this is our coffee table.

and it was adams 28th birthday on the 7th.. yes, 28!! its sad that this is the only picture that was taken.. and adam took it. oops! we had a few family members over for a bbq and eclairs which mom helped me make for the first time.

besides that, i am going to be going back to work tomorrow! i cant believe three months have passed already. ill be working every tuesday and thurs from 2-9pm and every saturday, whatever time im needed. then adam has been going to school mon-fri from 8am-1 and works at postmart every monday and wednesday from 1-7pm. so that is our crazy new schedule. i have mixed feelings about going back. i dont want to leave wellington because i know how much ill miss him and im afraid that ill miss some big event, but im glad that our schedules work out so that adam will be the one to take care of him. i wouldnt want to leave him with anyone else besides his dad. adam has been so good with wellington. its so cute to see them together. adam can get the biggest smiles from him and he has the magical touch when it comes to putting him to bed. i am excited to be able to be back in the salon doing hair though. i looked at my schedule for this week and i already have a few requests from my old clients. it will be nice to have some adult time... thats what i keep telling myself that is... ill have to update about how things are going when i start back up. haha..

While you were sleeping...

We have been having fun with Wellington... even though he is only 6 weeks old, he has already gone fishing
slept under an owl
gone para-shooting
and made lemonade from his very own lemon tree


he is amazing.
