CRAZY Week Ahead!
Well, this next week is going to be just completely nuts. We're finally closing on our house on Tuesday! Which means tomorrow will be spent crazily throwing everything into Paul's big truck so we can just unload it on Tuesday. On Wednesday, my mom's going to come and help me set up our new house. I'll admit I'm SUPER excited about that part! It's sort of like playing "house" when we were kids, except for the fact that now it's for real. And I have a real husband and baby. And real dishes. (It's not nearly as much fun to clean real dishes. Maybe I should get some imaginary ones??)
ANYway, did I mention I'm really excited? Because I am! It was a year ago this week that we decided we wanted to buy a house, and now it's finally happening! The fact that we had it built is truly a plus. I love knowing that we're getting exactly what we want, down to the color of the doorknobs. It's also nice to know that no one has ever "gently used" our toilet before. Yep, I'm excited to finally move in!
Also, Thursday is my birthday. Paul's taking Friday off of work so we can drive down to Provo Thursday night and spend the weekend down there! We're going to have my birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then stay at Paul's brother's (Doug and Melanie's) apartment. Paul's mission reunion is Friday night and then Saturday and Sunday are conference! We really wanted to go to a session of conference, but we don't know what we'd do with Johnny. It's alright, maybe next year! Anyway, we're excited to go see Doug and Melanie and all of Paul's mission buddies. It should be a super fun weekend!
Well, hopefully I can find some batteries for our camera (I know they're in a box, but which one?) so I can take some fun pictures of our super awesome week!

Johnny is learning to type

This is Johnny's first typed story. If you can translate it, let me know. I'm pretty sure he also changed all the settings on our computer while he typed, but at least he was having fun!

Jonathan's Happy Little Self :)
Johnny is just too cute not to share. And just so you know, I'm not biased at all. Okay, since you can't hear my voice, that last sentence was dripping with sarcasm. Anyway, he's currently telling me a long, exciting story full of squeals and raspberries. He's also eating a plastic bug that now looks more like a 5-inch round ball of slobber. I just LOVE him! I'm pretty sure I grew a whole extra heart just to hold him in it. He makes me smile all day long. I always knew I'd love being a mommy, but WOW! It's so much fun!
Okay, it's not all roses. In fact, cleaning poop out of his hair is about as far away from roses as it gets. Roses don't smell like that. And then there are the hours he's spent "exercising his lungs." That's not very rosy either. Roses don't scream. Also, there was one Sunday when he pooped on a lady at church. Seriously, there was poop on her dress. Also not like roses. Roses don't make you want to hide your face forever. Then there was the other Sunday, when he had such a loud poo that it was echoing through the whole chapel, and then he looked up at me, smiled, and topped it off with a belch. I've never heard a rose (or anyone else's kid) do that!
ANYway, I think that's enough about poop.
Here are some videos that make me laugh. Enjoy!

So... it's been a while! I finally decided it was time to come out of my blog hybernation. This doesn't mean that I'll stop looking like a mother bear who didn't hybernate quite long enough, but it does mean I'll start updating my blog again! A few minor changes have occurred in our lives since my last post:
1. I got even bigger.
Well, I think that's it! Life is great and we're super excited to see it moving forward! I know that we have a loving Father in Heaven, who has just opened up the windows of heaven and started pouring out so many blessings. We are so grateful for all we have and we hope life is great for everyone else too!
P.S. - If you're wondering who took all the super-awesome pictures, it's my sister-in-law Marie Speirs. She's amazing!
1. I got even bigger.
2. Beautiful Baby Jonathan Nephi was born on September 22nd (only 5 days after my due date...) weighing in at 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 inches long! I'll skip the gory details and just stick with the facts: Labor lasted 21 hours, and I'm still in love with the wonderfully magical epidural doctor. Then came the big arrival, and I really don't think I've ever been so in heaven! I am so head-over-heels for this little man!
3. My big little brother Kyle came home from his mission in Ft. Lauderdale (Spanish-speaking) on Dec. 17th!
4. We had an awesome Christmas!
5. We decided to start building a house here in Twin Falls! It's actually really close to being done, and we'll be moving in a few weeks! We're in the middle of tiling it right now. We'll post newer pictures soon!

We're still here...!
Well, just wanted to say we're still here! I'm still pregnant, but not for long...I hope! We are due in 3 weeks and everything's going great! I've been having tons of no-fun contractions, but they really aren't accomplishing much. It's a little disappointing, but oh well. We know he'll come when he's ready!
As far as life goes, the new semester started and Paul is pretty darn busy these days! He's taking 3 classes and working like crazy. Work will slow down for him after Labor Day, so that will be nice. Expecially since my "labor day" will be around the same time!
Well I guess that's about it for today! Next time I post, we'll probably have awesome news and super cute pictures! Woohoo!

Our fun summer! And lots of pictures!
Hey everyone! I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our fun summer! We've been doing all kinds of crazy stuff!
These first pictures are of our little dude, Johnny. We had another ultrasound last week and he still has some fluid around his kidneys, so next week we get to go see a specialist. He might have to have a little surgery after he's born, but that's the worst case scenario, so it's not too big of a deal. We do like having all these ultrasounds, though! We love being able to see our little man!
Here are some pictures of the nursery. Since I've been able to find the whole Fisher Price Rainforest set at yard sales (YAY!), we decided to go with that theme for his room. Gotta love vinyl stickers!
My sisters were tons of help. Yay for sisters!
Okay, so we didn't get any pictures of our 4th of July weekend. We took some with my mom's camera, so I'll have to steal them sometime. We spent the weekend in Buhl, which was really fun. We went fishing, and Paul caught 4 fish! It was awesome! I didn't have near as much luck. The one fish I got on my line fell off before I could get him to land. Oh, well. Fishing's always fun! After that, we went to the fireworks show in Buhl and then came back home and lit some of our own. It was super fun!
My little brother Kasey decided to come spend a few days with us after the 4th of July weekend. He came Sunday night and left Tuesday (last night). Yesterday Paul and I took him around to see some of the sights in Twin Falls. We went and walked the canyon rim trail. We actually got there just as some base jumpers were going, so that was pretty neat! I've never seen Kasey's eyes so big before. Then we took him down to the waterfall by the golf course, and we hiked down to the "secret cave" behind it. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures (and, yes, there's my big belly as of yesterday...sigh):
I tried to rotate that picture...I'm not smart enough. But you get the idea!
Anyway, those are some highlights from our super fun summer! We're loving our new duplex on Sparks, and we're way excited to bring our little Jonathan home here! We're pretty much all moved in, and I'm finished with school, so now we have time to play. Well, that's about it for now. I hope everyone else is having as great a summer as we are!
