Trying to fit in......NOT!!!!

Ok, so....this makes me so sick. I went in to cut my hair the other day and told the lady what i wanted-short, but not so short that i end up looking like a boy and can't even put it behind my ear. SOOOO, she procedes to cut...and cut...and cut...and cut...she was telling me her whole life story and was so into it apparently, that she didn't want to stop. Therefore, I suffer the consequences of her horrible life...

Redfish Lake :)

We had the awesome opportunity to go to Redfish Lake out in the middle of nowhere this past weekend. My whole family was there, and we all had soooo much fun! Here are some pics:)

Nick, mighty king of the rock!

This was on our nature hike. There were massive logs that had fallen over the river. So, we climbed to the middle for some great family pics!

The boys going across

Jaxon fell asleep so we put him in with his cousin Paige. Too cute!

Ok good thing we had the camera ready, he actually put
his arm around me and posed! Thanks little gooey!

Aunt Bekah, I spy something tall and

They're boat broke down? Ha ha ha just kidding, we just

Fun in the sun with Daddy!

These are just some cute videos of Nick and Jaxon

Boise!!!!

Well, things have been pretty crazy in our little family. The Lord has blessed us so much lately that I just can't believe all that has happened. Let me see if I can give you the short version of everything the past couple months. First of all, Nick graduated from Alpine College with his Surgical Technologist Degree. We had a bit of a hard time looking for a job, there were no openings in the Idaho Falls area. So, I randomly suggested looking in Boise. Very random! But, Nick applied for one job at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. He called about his application the next day, and they called him back a few hours later and asked him to come in for an interview! Wow! So, he drove 4 hours for his interview. They were super impressed that he drove all that way, and a couple days later they called and told him that he had the job! We were so excited!!! Well, we realized that we were going to need a place to live so we headed back to Boise to look.

I know we were inspired and led to the apartments we are in, because we walked into the office 2 hours before this move-in special ended. We got about $200 knocked off our monthly rent, and we have been blessed with absolutely everything we wanted/needed.

We were able to get the moving truck without a problem and when we got here, the car broke down the next day! BUT, I haven't really looked at it in a bad way, our ward has been so amazing in offering us rides to anywere we needed to go. The more people we meet, the more settled in we get, the more we realize that we are supposed to be here right now, and we are sooooo excited to see what the Lord has in store for us! Anyway, Here are some pics from the last month of our lives! Enjoy!

Jaxon sleeps funny sometimes!

This is what Jaxon does when he's supposed to be taking a nap..

So....we don't have a dining room table yet...no big deal!
This was our first sunday dinner, roast, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans!

I dunno, I just love this picture:)

Jaxon's bookshelf....

Jaxon's wall...are you surprised?

Jaxon's room...

The master bedroom...Yes, that is a futon we are fortunate enough
to have, otherwise we'd be sleeping on the floor!

Jaxon's bathroom

Our front room with the awkwardly placed fire place...

My kitchen! And yes, that is a pantry! Oh i love it! I didn't put up pictures of our bathroom because it was very very messy and rather than clean it, sometimes its just easier to skip it! Lets be honest here.. Our apartment also includes a washer and dryer and a huge walk in closet. We absolutely love it here and wish that everyone could come see us! Anyway, I'll post more pics and videos of Jaxon crawling for real when he finally does!

Mr. Jaxon is trying to be big!!

He started rocking one night and we were just dying. It was pretty funny to watch him scream at himself. Attention ladies: Please pay no attention to the random leg in this video. Thank you.

This is a huge step for Mr. Jaxon, if he doesn't have anything electronic to go after, he usually just does the worm...He especially loves Nick's iphone. Go figure!
