An update on our family!

Well Jimmy is now a little over half- way done with is final internship! He has about 3 1/2 weeks left. Then we'll have about a week and a half left here to just enjoy ourselves, relax and see all the sites we've been wanting to... it'll be our little vacation before we head back to Utah and Jimmy starts hitting the books hard studying for the boards. It's crazy to think there is finally an end in sight with Jimmy's schooling, not only is it in sight we've nearly crossed the finish line! And with that comes so many feelings, we're excited, nervous, relieved, anxious all at the same time. Jimmy has really been stressing out and feeling the pressure lately because yes, school is almost over but now he has to find a job. He's been feeling really overwhelmed and under qualified lately, but i know he can do it. He is very smart and knows his stuff, even if he doesn't think so. He also is very good with people which is an important quality in his field. I know he'll do great but if you all could send up a few prayers for him we would greatly appreciate it!!
In other news; i am now 24 weeks pregnant but feel like I'm 34. The aches and pains have started early with this one but I'm happy! I'm feeling a lot better now, i only get a little nauseous in the evenings sometimes. And the baby seems to be doing just fine too. He's constantly moving around doing flips and such. It's kind of funny and annoying but if Taylor wakes up crying in the middle of the night (we sleep in the same room right now) he hears her and wakes up too but usually she goes back to sleep before he does which means I'm up for awhile too! But I'm grateful to feel those movements!
Taylor is doing great, she's getting so big in size and personality! We've had a few struggles lately trying to figure out the best way to discipline her. You know before you have kids you think you have it all figured out, "this is how we will handle everything" but then you very quickly find out after having kids that you have nothing figured out! Each child is different and they really do come with their own personalities. Discipline tactics that work on one won't necessarily work on another! So that's where we are right now trying to figure out what will work with this very active, very strong willed but loving, sweet and silly little girl of ours! I know we'll figure it out, but sometimes it does try your patience!


Well enough rambleing now to the stuff that Grandmas LOVE......PICTURES!!!


This ones kind of blurry but i thought it was funny! she
was using the pie tins as shoes!


we went to Turtle Bay, Taylor kept trying to get Jimmy
to take her to the "ball" that's on the left. It was a bouy telling
how deep the water is.


I love her face in this picture! She's so silly!





This is our new time out strategy! What do you think? ;)

She played so hard at the beach!

Jimmy just turned 30! Taylor was "helping" me make his
cake!

we were singing happy birthday to daddy and Taylor thought
it was for her! she was soo happy!

She tried to grab the fire. Takes after Uncle Travis i guess!

Apparently she watches too much "Handy Manny"!


She really is a little monkey!

She LOVES tomatoes! She calls the matoes

  2. Holy moly!!! How are you guys?! I'm so happy to see that you have a blog because Scott and I have been missing you guys like crazy! I have been thinking so much about Taylor and what she looks like now, where you guys are at, and now to know that you're pregnant and having a boy, that's so exciting! You are the cutest, sweetest family and we will forever remember living next door to you guys. What a blessing you were in our lives. You truly taught us how to be good neighbors (even though we're not doing nearly as good as we should still). You are amazing. That's so exciting that Jimmy is almost done with school/his internship! Whoosh! I have no doubt he will find a great job. He is so smart and knowledgeable, and like you said, good with people. But if he is in major need of some more practice and keeping up on his skills, you are always welcome out to Omaha with free room and board. Scott is always complaining about his aches and pains. Man! Jimmy would sure come in handy these days! I'm so glad we can keep in touch now through this. Miss you guys and love you!
