The times they are a changing.

I finished my semester. It is the best feeling in the world to know that I can spend the days doing what I want and just playing with my Emily. She's so good. She's so happy and smiley. She learned to eat her feet the other day and it's so darn cute. She can be a little stinker too. If I don't hold her bottle just right she screams and if I try to burp her before she's ready she cries like I broke her heart. And I just can't help laughing...am I a horrible mother? I think not. Her crumpled little cry face is so cute! I can't help loving her more and more every time I look at her.

I am so excited for Friday! I get to go back to camp so that I can bring James home on Saturday! Then he doesn't have to leave me again! I have such a sweet husband. He bought me some scrapbook stuff and I have become addicted! I could sit and do it all day if I had more pictures. But i have lots of plans for it. It is currently my new favorite hobby...out of my numerous ones. James likes guns...I like crafty things. Both are expensive... so.... hmmm.

Next week we are headed to California to visit James' family. Then back to Rexburg to pack and then off to Missouri. I'm so excited for it. I'm excited that both sets of grandparents get to see Emily again. Mostly because I want to show off my beautiful baby but also because they want to see her too. :) I'm a proud mommy.

Anyway... yeah this summer is coming to an end and a new page is turning. This fall will be different because we actually get to build a house to live in. Fun stuff!

Ah life *sigh*

So things are starting to change for our family. I am almost done with my semester, just a few papers to write and then I'm done! So I should get on that... Motivation? None.

James is almost done with scout camp. Just one more week! And then he will be home with us for a while and that is the most exciting thing for me! Next year James is changing his major. This fall we are hoping to be able to save enough money to enable us to not have to work while in school. It will be a first for both of us in years. We used to work full time while going to school full time and we never saw much of each other. so we have our fingers crossed.

We are so happy to be parents. We have a practically perfect baby. She sleeps 10+ hours a night and plays well by herself. She only cries when she is hungry or sleepy. The past few days she has been extremely constipated and in pain but she is getting better. She's learning to roll over and she plays with her feet. She loves to be held and played with and she loves to touch things and feel different textures. I was playing with her with the mirror in the bathroom and she learned how to turn the light off. She looked up at me and was so proud of herself.

Anyway...little pants and homework call.

Longest Phone Conversation We've Ever Had

Late last night James called me like he usually does and it being the last night to apply for FAFSA to make the deadline we decided to do them together so we could help each other with the info we needed. Well James took so long to get the internet to work where he was and I started cruising through it but got stuck... so we both got frustrated beyond belief. Then James was suddenly DONE and I was still stuck and had to fill it out the long way. It took me forever and I was ready to cry because it just kept asking more and more questions I didn't have the answers to and then wouldn't ya know it, I found out that I answered one question wrong way back so I changed that answer and I was done with the whole application process. We were on the phone for close to an hour and a half. I think the longest phone conversation we have ever had before had never even lasted half an hour. Haha but this one probably doesn't even count because more than half of it was silence while we worked on our applications. But it was nice that we were able to do it together.

James is enjoying Scout camp. After this week is over he only has two weeks left and and then he's home for a while. I thought I'd add a few pictures of where he is.

It's such a pretty place. We really enjoyed our time there last year and were excited that James was invited back this year. We will miss it next year.

The New Blog

So we've been wanting to start a blog for a while and I finally set one up. I haven't had a chance to run the design by James but I like it. James is working this summer as the Program Director of Camp Little Lemhi Scout Camp and Emily and I stay home. I'm finishing up my semester at BYU-Idaho and getting ready to start packing up the house so we can move in a few months. Emily is growing up so fast. She's almost 5 months old. She just 12lbs and 24 in. long. She's scooting around on the floor and rolling over and she love to stand up...with help. She has the biggest smiles and shares them all the time with everybody. I'm excited to keep up with this blog. Gotta go feed little pants now.
