8 Month Old Jace


Likes: playing, eating Cheerios, feeding himself, bath time, going for walks, being outside, playing with his dog, playing peek-a-boo, hitting things and making loud banging noises, sitting on Mommy's lap and reading books, drinking from his bottle, watching out the window as cars go by, playing with anything that he can put in his mouth, looking in mirrors and laughing, having us hold him while he is standing up and bouncing up and down over and over, rolling around the room towards something he thinks is interesting, saying "ma, la, and da" over and over, and getting hugs and kisses from his Mom and Dad.


Dislikes: anybody feeding him solid food (except himself), diaper changing time (it's a wrestling match to get him to hold still), long car rides, and being sleepy (he loves his crib now and is very mad when we don't hold to his nap and bed time schedule)


Needs: a haircut (it's getting pretty long, but curly on the ends and so its hard for me to want to cut it because it's so cute), to start using his new convertible car seat (you can see he has outgrown his old seat much to the sadness of his mom and dad because the infant seat is soooo convenient), and to start crawling (he's right on the verge and gets very angry when he can't move forward on his knees)

Someone's Getting Ready to Crawl!

Fourth Year

Sheldon and I are getting really excited about his fourth year of optometry school. We get to live three different places in nine months and then in May of 2011 Sheldon will graduate. Wahooooooooooooooooooo!! Sheldon and I got married right when he got off his mission and he was just a freshman in college so it will be eight and a half years of our marriage that he has been in school. Can I just say how excited I am for him to be done and working! I am excited for him to have a normal work schedule and to get home the same time everyday and have his weekends free. Oh and not to mention a paycheck! It's going to be great! Jace and I will be happy to get him back. He's been so busy studying for his board exams that I feel like we don't get to see him at all.

So, back to fourth year. We have some exciting rotations planned. Starting in August we will be back in Utah and living in Orem with Sheldon's sister and her family. Sheldon will be working in Salt Lake City.



Then in November we are going to Hawaii for three months. Sheldon will be working at Hickam Air force Base and Jace and I will be enjoying the beach! We'll get to see Sheldon after work and on the weekends. :)
Then in February we are going to Lake Havasu in Arizona! I'm excited for this rotation because it will be close to my family in Las Vegas and I am hoping we get to see them often.

We are also going to be selling one of our cars, our house, and having a mega garage sale to try to get rid of stuff because we are only planning on bringing one carload with us and we only want to rent a small storage unit. We are still trying to figure out what to do with our dog during that time. Does anyone want to watch an adorable basset hound for nine months?? I guess we'll see how it all works out! We have some exciting things to look forward to!

A Forever Family

My friend Kristen took these photos of us at the temple for our sealing. I know I already posted about it but I wanted to share these pictures too. She just gave me the disc with the photos and she took some really great shots. Thanks Kristen!
