On my own with TWO kids!

Dad left for a work trip the same day we took Grandma Barfuss to the airport. This was the real test. Could I do two kids alone for 2 weeks?! We survived. I have learned to plan fun for us all even though most of the time I would rather just be home. We got out and went to a safety day at the park where Sam got to see firetrucks, police cars, etc. Justin reminded me the main focus is to stay alive. I don't need to stress about the house or getting anything done. We did okay, I'd say. I'm sure I wasn't as nice as I should've been all the time with Sam but we did fine and had a little fun too.

It took me a week to get a picture -- quite the funny story why on campus too. :) 4 weeks before this little guy gets here... he better not be late... and I am feeling more pregnant each day Just a few affects of pregnancy I am experiencing lately: groaning when I get up off the floor, or out of the car bumping into walls finding myself not fitting through those corners I used to fit through changing my workout because of belly bouncing too much or awkward pains not being able to STOP eating – I guess I am “eating for two”  rubbing my belly my bum hurting after sitting in the same spot for a while – I am definitely all about finding a comfortable place to sit sleeping with a pillow between my legs - but still sleeping through the nights, yeah! waddling, or at least feeling like I am Look at the proud father to be --- and the stroller is taken apart to hand wash it. Timeline of exciting preparation happenings before the arrival of this bundle of jo...

1 Month before our baby is due -- my friends put on a fantastic shower for me! It was so much fun catching up with friends. Justin decided me going out with friends is a great thing -- I come home really chipper! It was a book themed shower -- I am so excited to read to our little boy. It definitely helped us get a good start on our Children's portion of the Schmidt Library. A special thank you Kaylee, Marissa, and Brittney for putting it on and thank you friends for coming! I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Go Aggies!

For all those years I was a convenient fan for the current school I was attending, I am making up for it now! This weekend we attended the BYU v USU Basketball game and the San Jose vs USU Football game. Before married life, basketball games caught my interest once in a while and football games, ugh not even a temptation, except for the big ones, and those I could only talk myself into maybe half of the game. But, this weekend I proved that I can be a dedicated fan too! Now keep in mind I did not say a hard-core fan. :) Friday after work at 4pm I stood in line for basketball tickets until they let us in around 6pm, the game did not  even  start until 7PM! I have NEVER waited in lines to get into a sporting event, let alone for 3 hours. Oh how married life has changed me. Ha ha, Actually I think part of the reason why I was so willing to do this, is because our life as students is slowly fading. Technically I am no longer a student, but with the spouses car...
