February/March

So I started the RN-BSN (Bachelors program) in January which means it's been taking up a lot of my time! It's a self-paced program so I can go at my own speed which is nice.  I've been working really hard to finish it quickly and it looks like I may be graduating this summer which is awesome! I've never been so thankful for nap times and I've been lucky to have so much help and support from Matt. Could NOT do it without him!  I sometimes wish they could give my husband the same degree because he works almost as hard and probably knows the material too! Anyway, here's a bunch of random pics from the last couple months...

RootsTech Conference in Salt Lake with my parents. It was pretty awesome to be part of the largest geneology gathering where everyone was interested in the same thing! We learned a ton of new tricks and helpful hints to continue filling in our family tree. So exciting!

The only pic i got of me.. I really did have a great time, haha.

Visiting dad at work

Trouble!

Had to try out all the instruments at the docs office

Waiting for the doc... 

The next big thing! 

Gray LOVES wearing hats and usually puts them on sideways. I just love him.

Poor kid tripped and hit the corner of our dresser... This turned into a good shiner. But didn't seem to bother him after the initial hit. Trust me, Matt made up a lot of stories for this one! 

This kid loves slides! 

Fun with cousins and kisses for the baby chicks!

St. Pattys day picture in the helicopter.  Grayson loves to sit in the drivers seat :)

Hats, helmets... he loves them all! 

HAPPY 33rd B-DAY TO THE BEST DAD & HUSBAND AROUND! 

MARCH 19

Ridin' in style after a birthday dinner at Sunset Grill

Love this time of year with all the blossoms! Yes, Grayson is about ready to jump out. haha

What a stud! 

Maybe we should have Grayson explain this one? Pretty sure Bella would like an explanation too.

Sunday before Easter... at my cousins baby blessing. 

Obsessed with balls lately! And check out those plaid-suspendered cousins!

Walking down Legacy parkway in Centerville

Grayson steals every chance to have a turn on my laptop, haha

January

The lit up streets of Moab this time of year make up for the cold night walks.  I always fight going out in the cold, but it's good for the soul. It's also good for the baby and dog who have gone stir crazy being inside all day.  I've learned that Moab can be a little depressing in the winter! It becomes a ghost town here with many businesses closing for the season and really not much to do! The library, church, and hanging with friends/family inside is what we do.  We really have to get creative here.

Milk and cookies before bed.

I love these moments :) I have a feeling Gray will be a handyman like his dad.

We aren't quite old enough, but we went to nursery anyway and loved it! Such a big boy!

Out to lunch and shopping with cousins

Every time we go up north, I HAVE to stop for a rootbeer ice cream cone at A&Ws.  They are SO yummy and the only A&W store who sells them. (Trust me!)

Just in case you thought he was ALWAYS happy. Ha! I try hard not to let him see me smile when he turns on the tantrums these days.  They are just too cute! Right now anyway...

Grayson LOVES his Bella girl. They cuddle and watch cartoons together.  She lets Grayson climb all over her.  They exchange frequent kisses.  She's the most patient dog ever and I love that they have each other!

Christmas

My sister became Mrs. Pack on December 19th.  So glad we were able to spend the day celebrating with the family.  We thought it would be freezing cold in that barn, but it turned out to be perfect.  Grayson had a great time dancing with all the little kids and possibly found his calling as a janitor after the event ;)  Congrats Camille and Regan! We love you!

My family is getting so big!

I want to eat that cute face in the middle!

Anything on wheels is his best friend!

Back home to Moab we came & of course shopping is always on the list after a trip. 

Cruising the grocery aisles thinking, "I got this mom."

CHRISTMAS 2014

Matt has always worked holidays since we have been married.  It's different not being around tons of family, but we have gotten used to it.  In fact, it makes for pretty relaxing holidays which isn't bad.  Since he was on call this year, he was able to spend the day at home which was awesome.  We were lucky to have his sister, Teri, join us this year too! We love it when she visits! 

We were all spoiled this year with toy trucks, climbing gear, clothes, and a NEW CAR! Yep, we were ready for something bigger and more reliable.  I never realized how loud my mazda was driving down the road. And what did i ever do without a back up camera?! My favorite feature.

And a few pics of the Christmas after-party...  ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
