Our early arrival

Baby girl is here she came five weeks early, she has spent the last three weeks in the hospital needing an antibiotic because she had meningitis and pneumonia, she also had some trouble with her breathing which is very common with preemies so she had a c-pap for the first week in the hospital, she has her last dose of the antibiotic tonight and then its just a matter of her being able to eat enough and keep gaining weight so where hoping by this weekend she will get to come home!!

We love our little bundle of joy and can't wait to have her home.

Thanks to everyone who have been so helpful all the delicious meals, watching Gage and most importantly the prayers, we have definitely felt Heavenly Fathers hands in all of this and have felt so blessed.

MIA from the blog world

So I've been missing in action in the blog world, so I thought I would give a little update of whats been happening in our lives the last little bit.
First of all for those of you who read this blog and I don't run into once in awhile we are expecting baby number 2, its a girl!! and I'm due in like 6 weeks (but whose counting). Everything seems to be going well and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival.
Gage is busy as ever and has been loving the warmer weather getting outside is fantastic, we have now moved him into a big boy bed (mattress and box spring) and the transition has been surprisingly smooth. We are now ready for the next phase potty training!!
Dillon interviewed a few weeks ago at BYU for Nurse Practitioner School, sadly enough we got a rejection letter in the mail shortly after, so we will be saving our money and applying again next year.
That's pretty much our life right now.

Christmas in Florida

For Christmas this year Chris and Jodie took the whole family to Disney World, we had a great time going to all the parks, enjoying some nice sunny weather and just spending time together as a family.
Now this is not something I wouldn't want to do every year because it didn't really feel like Christmas but it was fun and more relaxing then most of our Christmas's.
Thanks so much for the good times and memories!!

So the other day and by that I mean a few weeks ago I was cleaning the bathroom and I put my necklaces on the floor so I could clean any way Gage found a few that I don't really wear so I was letting him play with them and when I came out of the bathroom this is what I found.

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry but I thought it was pretty funny, hey there's no such thing as to many accessories right!

Oh what a funny boy!!
