Cleaning

Today I did a lot of cleaning while Andy was at work. I usually say that I am gonna do a lot in one day but soon after I start I get too tired and lay down. It has been such a mess lately with being so busy, and sick, and so much more. So I am happy I finally got some cleaning done. I want to get more done tomorrow, but I'll have to see because I want to watch conference, and Megan and I are going to Ladies Night at Deseret Book. After Andy got off work we decided we wanted to go see a movie. Andrew's pick~ Slither. Well on our way we got pulled over on our street. The funny thing though is that earlier in the week we got pulled over by the same cop, and didn't get a ticket. Well the cop came up to our car, and was about to write a ticket, but got called to a car accident so we didn't get a ticket and are really lucky. We called Megan and Adam to tell them our story, they thought we were playing an April Fools joke on them. Nope, not a joke. Just a really funny and lucky story for us. After that we dropped little man off at Andy's parents and we went to the movie. I didn't really like the movie but Andy did. I guess it is just a guy movie. We went back to get little man, and we visited for awhile. While we were at the movie, he started walking a few steps. We thought when we got there that he wouldnt do it again, but he did. At most I think he walked 5-6 steps. It is so cute! My little man is growing up way too quick! We went to visit my parents for a little bit and then we headed home. Unfortunately Andy has to work tomorrow so we have to go to bed early. Last night we got great sleep, compared to the night before. I will post again soon! :)

tired

Today around 1:30 in the morning Jackson woke up really sick, having a fever and uncontrollably vomiting, not holding any food or liquids down. We were worried about him being dehydrated so we took him to the ER. It took quite some time to be seen, there was other patients that needed to be seen first. We were there about 2 1/2 hours total. For the first hour and a half he was still really sick but then they brought in a popsicle to see if he would take it before deciding to do an IV. He wouldn't take it at first but then he finally did. He ate about half of it, then the doctor came in and said that we didn't have to do an IV, thankfully. He really would have hated it. We got home right before 5 and he went to sleep fine... but we had been awake for so long that Andrew and I couldn't go back to sleep for awhile. Andrew had to call in to work today seeing that we had gotten very little sleep. We thought that Jackson would sleep later than usual but he didn't. We got up to take care of him, and he actually was acting much better.We were too tired to make anything this morning, so we ate at a restaurant called Goodwood Barbeque Company. It was so good. We then had to help Andrew's sister with something, and since then we have been home resting a bit. Hopefully we will get better sleep tonight.

Fun day

So today Andrew and I made this for little man's room. Isn't it so cute?! It was so easy too, we went with my family to a store called The Wood Connection and we just had to get the wood, paint, and vinyl rub-ons. I saw so much stuff I want to buy to make so we are probably gonna go back later this week. After going there we all drove to Lehi, we ate first at this little place called "One Man Band Diner." It was so good! After that we were gonna go to some scrapbook stores but Andrew, Jackson and I had to be somewhere to get family pictures done. They turned out great, but I hate that we have to wait til the middle of April to get them back. Even though Jackson has had his infection, he was very cooperative and very cute in the pictures. I will post them once we get them back. We came home and have been resting. I am so glad I have become a SAHM, we get to spend so much more time together as a family. We had a super fun day, gonna go spend more time with the fam. Thanks for looking! I will post again soon! :)

Sad Baby

So today I took Jackson to his 12 month appointment. The doctor was looking over everything, and she was looking in his ear and noticed he has a really bad ear infection. So she prescribed him on an antibiotic for 10 days called Amoxicillin. And plus he had to get 4 shots today for him immunizations. I feel so bad for him, an ear infection, runny nose, and being sore from the shots. Other than that, she checked his weight, length, and head circumference. He weighs 20 lbs 9 ounces with his only 16th percentile for his age but she isn't worried. His length is 30 inches in the 50th percentile, and I dont remember the exact number but he is in 90th percentile for his head. So he's a skinny, tall boy with a big head! :) With having a big head that just makes him that much smarter! :) He is almost walking, he walks around furniture, but not quite on his own. He stands up for a second but then realizes what he is doing and falls down. Well, I need to go take care of the little man! I'll post again soon! Thanks for looking!

Lots of fun

We have had tons of fun lately, enjoying the wonderful weather. Yesterday after church my husband, my sister Megan, and my brother-in-law Adam walked to the park to try and attempt to fly a kite. Andy and Adam got it up once for about 30 seconds but all the other times it wouldnt go up. After that Andy and Adam had an idea to try and fly the kite outside the sunroof of our car while driving. It somewhat worked but it kept on hitting the car. Those two are so funny. Well, at least they make their wives have a good laugh! They have said lately that if they were missionary companions they would have had so much fun together. We also went to eat at Sampan Chinese Restaurant. I finally tried something new there other than Sesame Chicken and got Teriyaki Chicken. It was so good! Megan and I also scrapped last night. Today Andy and Adam got off we all went on a bike ride. It is so fun when we all go together. We are all trying to lose a little weight, so we have said that we want to do 20 miles in a week, but who knows if we really will. Hopefully though! Like i said before, we have just been enjoying the nice weather here. I hope it stays like this! I love spring weather! I will post again soon! :)

my entry into the blogging world!

Hi, my name is Nicole and I am 20 years old. My husband is Andrew, and our sweet little man that just turned one is Jackson. We live in West Jordan, Utah with my sister, Megan, her husband Adam, and Adam's brother David. It is a lot of fun living with them, it has brought us all closer, although before we moved into this house we lived right next door to eachother in an apartment complex in Holladay. I recently became a stay at home mom, and Andrew works at Discover Card.

Like I said before, my little man just turned one, on Thursday, the 23rd. I can't believe it has been a year. He has blessed us so much. We had his birthday partyat Jungle Jim's and it was so much fun, although Jackson was in the beginning stage of a cold so he wasn't all that happy.

I absolutely love scrapbooking! That is what brought me to this, reading other scrapbookers blogs! I thought might as well start my own! I also love shopping. My sister and I went at a scrapbook store today and everytime we go it is so hard not to buy anything. We both got some idea books. After that we went to Target. We love going there!

Well, I will post again soon! I would love to hear comments from you! Thanks for looking! :)
