March Madness

I call it March Madness because thats all this month was. Haha. We did nothing in particular, but stayed busy at all times.. March was a great month but it went by way to fast! The only reason I am happy for this month to be over is to say good-bye to the snow!!

At some point during this month we had a family barbecue with some people from church and Payton took his first turn on a see-saw. And if you can't tell from the picture he absolutely loved it!

He loves playing with Clair so much. He will tell you this is his best friend. I don't blame him she is one of the sweetest girls I've ever met and loves playing with Payton Man. 

He always has a smile on, on our drive to church!

So one day I decided that when Chad brought me Payton after work I'd take him to the park while Chad was in class.. They have ducks at the park that Payton loves to feed so I picked up some bread to feed them. We weren't even half way down the road when I look back and Payton had gotten ahold of the bread and started in on it.. Yes he ate at least 4 buns. My kid is OBSESSED with bread. Any kind. Haha

This is his purple Easter Dinosaur he just hhaaadddd to have at 

the store when spotting it a mile away.. 

The second Tuesday of this month was the "Relief Society Birthday Party"

at church. So all the girls met up and played Minute-to-Win it games and ate yummy cake.

Seriously the most fun Ive had in a while. I'm so blessed to have these awesome ladies as

my friends!

It is now April and Im just now making a new wreath for the door. 

Chad refuses to have a bare door, which means that up until a few weeks ago we

still had a Christmas wreath on the door! I have tried a lot of Pinterest projects

and for the ones that turn out they seem to be more money than worth making. But this one turned out cute and was only about 40$ to make. So it was still much cheaper than buying one!

Payton is becoming SUCH a boy!! He is now totally into wresting 

with Daddy and playing in the mud. He also loves to make silly faces with Mommy(:

His newest accomplishment is learning how to drink out

of a glass. Yes I know he's two and a half and should know this already..

But i simply didn't feel like cleaning up a mess all the time. He's doing great though 

and has comprehended that it will spill if tipped over.

He loves going to the grocery store with me because they always

give him a sucker! 

His first Burger King breakfast croissant. If he is ANYTHING like

his Mommy or Daddy he will be addicted to these his entire life.

Well we've only been here three months but we've

had to say good-bye to our first missionary. He was amazing. Elder Felberg absolutely

loved Payton and could play with him for hours. And who doesn't 

love people that love their kids? But he was also a great missionary who

taught me so much. I was so blessed to have him a part of our life.

So i got my first busted nose.. Last Saturday I got a TERRIBLE

stomach virus. I am 100% sure it is the virus that made those

cruise ships turn around from so many people catching it. Chad got it on Wednesday

and it only took 3 days and I had. Literally the most miserable I've ever been. My body already has a problem with getting to dehydrated to fast. After being sick for 3 hours I went to go back to bed and 

just collapsed on the ground. I hate passing out so much and for some reason my body loves it. This was actually taken Tuesday so it looks much better. But I am definitely staying away from everyone that has this bug. I do not want it back! Everyone at work now has it :(

For sure way to make a two year olds day:

Buy him a balloon with balls on it..

Double score.

I actually just love this new picture of Chad and I. He has been so great

these past few months. I know Pharmacy school is gunna stink so I hope

to look back at these pictures and just remember its just the school making

him act crazy! Haha

So excited for April just for the warm weather! I also now teach Primary at church so I'm excited to start getting creative with the kids and helping them learn and grow as much as I have! Can't express how happy I am with where we are in life and how happy we are with the decisions we've made! 

Exciting News..

Like I said before January seemed to last forever but February flew by! Not much happened in February except valentines day which Chad brought me roses and made me a beautiful candle light dinner!! I love gifts like that much more than jewelry or materialistic things. 

Anyway, The most exciting part of the month was this past weekend! Chad's sister Ashleigh and her husband Justin flew in and stayed the weekend with us. It was so awesome having them here since I've been missing family so so much lately! The most exciting part was that they actually flew in for my baptism. On Saturday March 1st 2014, I was baptized and became part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have been meeting with the missionaries for quiet some time now and have learned and grown with my faith so much. I feel that this decision has brought Chad and I closer to God than ever before. I love that we go to church together, sit with the missionaries and learn, and read scriptures together. We are so much happier now that we have put God first in our lives. I was so grateful to have Ashleigh and Justin here with us to share this experience. They are an amazing influence in our lives and it meant so much that they could be here. I was also so excited to have them meet all of our friends we've made here and everyone loved meeting them as well! We had a great night talking for a few hours and getting to know everyone. It was so great having so many people come and show their support. We really have made some great friends here! 

These are our awesome missionaries. They are great guys

and always make us laugh. Not to mention Chad's favorite basketball buddies!

Might have been a slow month but we have had a great weekend! So excited for everything to come! This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life and I couldn't be more excited and grateful.
