Hanging around the house



Matthew and I have really been enjoying our time with Jett. We got him a Bumbo, which is a little chair for him to sit in. He loves it!

Summer is coming to an end... back to school ads

I opened the paper on Sunday, and there they were the back to school ads. I know when I see them I have about a month left. I know, at least I get a big chunk of time off, and I am very happy about that! I will be able to spend almost three months with Jett. But remember, even though I love being a teacher and my students are great! They are still Jr High Students... remember how you were in Jr High, now times that by 40+ students. Anyway, here is a great video of Jett being a sucker fish, well that is what I think it looks like. 

Looking forward to see everyone in a few weeks in California!

Love to all.

Out and About in Utah




Matthew, Jett and I have decided to explore some of the local beauty. Cascade Springs was first on the list. It is a great little area with beautiful running springs. The little pools of water actually have brown trout in them. It is a super small eco system, no fishing allowed :) It was a lovely walk filled with lush greenery. Matthew started talking to a photographer we came across on our walk. His name was Wayne, and he is a professional photographer out of California. He was a really great person and was on a photo trip for a month. I loved the fact that he had no set plans and we traveling were the spirit or light moved him. We would love to do that someday. It was a great day! Jett really liked the carrier, because he could look around and see things.

Sleeping... Jett up-date

If you have been following the facebook wall, you know I have been counting the hours at night. Jett has been doing really well, and is starting to sleep more and more. He has been sleeping about seven hours for the last week, and about 4 1/2 last night. He is rolling over in one direction, but not back. He is starting to grab at things, but does not have his time on just for now. He reaches and closes his hand a little off, it is really cute. When he sleeps during the day, he places his hand wide open on both sides of his head... I call it is jazz hands pose. He is baring his own weight when you hold him on his feet, and looking around, holding his head up. So, that is the Jett up-date! Oh, and he is super cute!

Happy 4th of July!


more smiles...

Gone and went fishing...



Matthew got up at the crack of dawn... well, Jett got us up at the crack, about 4 ish in the morning. Matthew had to get up at 5, so we just stayed up. Well, Matthew went fishing and we went back to bed. He went out with our good friend John and had a great time. He caught a fish and John gave him one of his. Matthew's is the bigger fish in the picture. John gets a fish but then releases them back into the water. We used Jett the figure out the size of the fish, well Jett is 22 + inches. Anyway, he had fun. 

Visited the Utah State Capitol Building




It was a very rainy day on Thur... which was great because no one was in the Capitol Building. We had the place to ourselves. It was Matthew and Jett's first time there. Here are some shots... oh the one of Matthew jumping, well we got there kinda late, which is our style, and Matthew was trying to look through all the windows. I think that window was the governor's office. I love that about him.

Got the smile...

Any parent would know that you try to capture the moment when your child smiles, and that it is not an easy task... will I got one.
