A happy reuinion!

After being apart for 26 days we were reunited at the Salt Lake City Airport Friday, June 22! It was sure good to see Justin, who was also excited to see me and Samuel. Family is what makes the world go round. Life would seem rather empty without family.

Justin had applied for leave and so we had 4 days with the family and friends in Utah!

We met up with the Fleshman's in Logan for a minute, attended Sherstin's reception and had a night together at the Barfuss' house. We then met them up camping for a dynamite breakfast!


Thank you Barfuss' for the fun!

We then left for Salt Lake. We enjoyed a family party at Ryan and Anna's house Sunday. Monday we went to the Kennecott Copper Mine with the Schmidts and Tuesday we met up with our friends Dan and Megan.
Justin entertained the kids on the way to Kennecott Copper Mine
Look at that HUGE tire for the trucks used at the copper mine


Justin got a good day with his dad on the farm too. :) Thank you Schmidts for the fun

It really was that windy!


We are truly blessed to have such amazing family who love and support us in all we do and are great examples for us. We love them all!!

We are also grateful for the many friendships we have and for the fun we have had with them as well as their examples! Thank you friends!

Last but not least we are grateful for our Heavenly Father. As we were apart we felt his watchful and loving care for us and are grateful to Him for our safe return to each other and home.

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

Image
It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, lear...

Nashville, TN - January 30 to February 1

Image
Justin passed his check ride with flying colors and he had a couple days off. So, we took the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee! Our friends Trevor and Keely Park live there and we thought it would be a fun place to go see. Most of Justin's time off has been spent in Utah with family, which we love, but it was nice to be just the three of us The trip was 5 and 1/2 hours - that's w/o stops. On the way there we made it in 7 hours and on the way back we made it in about 9 hours. Let's just say we're good to not have another road trip for a while. Sam was a champ despite the long time in his car seat.  Our first stop was a science museum - we were there for 3 hours. It was fun for all of us.  These are parachute men Sam could move up and have them fall back down by using pullies.  Sam loved this T-Rex. It moved and made noises. Yes it scared him at first but Justin was good to explain it to Sam. Each time we passed it, which was often, we would be there for ...

Having Twins

Image
For the past month I have had twins! Well, kind of. Leo spends his Monday - Friday from 7:30- 3:30ish at our place and is 1 month younger than Sam. I've never really desired to have twins and I still feel that way, but it has been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun to have our friend Leo join Sam and I. Sam has thoroughly enjoyed having a playmate. I considered the pros and cons as I pondered and prayed about if it was right for our family and the pros weighed out and felt right. I love being a stay at home mom, most days :), and did not want to steer in any direction of not giving my full attention to my kids (right now, Sam) at home. It's so easy to forget the importance of the work at home and desire the success and accomplishments of the world. So easily I can compare my worth to what I bring in money wise or what projects I finish. Being a mom, some days you don't get much of anything "done" even if you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I ...
