Life lately!

I am officially the worst blogger ever lately. I was doing so good at it but I've been in a funk since we officially moved back to Utah the beginning of May. THAT was craziness, and a long story. But we are finally settled back here, even though we will be moving again in about 4 weeks...5 days before I am getting induced. Let's hope baby girl stays in until the 23 of July! It's good to be back here though--we have spent lots of time with family and friends. I didn't realize how much we missed everyone until we got back and got to see them all again. I think I definitely took for granted living so close to the people we love. 

JT started his new job last week at ProFire energy. He seems to be liking it, and we are grateful that he was able to find something before we were out of work for too long. He is taking a really hard math class every night too, so he is busy and we don't see him very much. We are living for our weekends right now. 

Thomas is 20 months, wakes up at 6 am regularly, says new things daily, and loves to push our buttons. He no longer looks like a baby at all and it's been so fun watching him change on a daily basis. And I am just getting the biggest belly ever, baby girl is always moving and we still haven't decided on a name. If she doesn't make an early entrance, I will be induced the morning of July 23! So a little over 5 weeks away. This has seriously been the fastest pregnancy ever. Moving 5 times and having a one year old makes that happen I guess. 

Here's a few pictures from our last month and a half!

Obsessed with fish lately-the aquarium, goldfish, and finding nemo are in his top five of favorite things. Along with trains and cars. 

Seriously though that puppy, it was the cutest thing ever. 

33 weeks in this ^^ and it's grown even larger in the last week and a half. I feel like she will be a big baby just like Thomas!

An obsession with all things trains has begun. 

Sorry...had too. He loves naked time after baths. 

He's also reallllly good at throwing tantrums with fake crying. Bring on the terrible twos. 

UTAH

We have been in Utah a little over a week now! Minus no sleep and a very clingy Thomas, and daddy not being here, we've had so much fun. We did the Tulip festival with Sara, Amanda, and Brittany and all the kiddos. Tulips are still my favorite. 

We've done just about everything at thanksgiving point, I think I was there every day last week. Thomas has been having so much fun with his cousins-and they are so sweet with him. He especially loves Tyler. 

He's warming up to grandparents and aunts and uncles, one minute he loves them the next he's scared of them. But I love this picture of him and my mom. 

Kyle was an instant favorite though. 

My mom was watering flowers one day and Thomas decided he wanted to soak himself. Head all the way under and all!

And tulips round two::golf carts are the way to go. 

I no longer have to worry about flying alone with Thomas because we are moving back. Next weekend believe it or not. We are excited to be back with our families close by. JT told me to stay here because I am prego and pretty useless for moving, and Thomas would be no help either. So he is handling the packing and driving along with my brother in law guy who is heading out to help Friday. We are very thankful he was so quick to offer help. So hooray! Utah will always be our home I hope. 

Side note: I am 27 weeks today!! 13 more!! Or 91 days. 91. That number is both scary and exciting to me. 

Saying goodbye to friends

Last week Thomas and I said goodbye to our favorite friends Amanda and Luca.  Thomas and Luca were born 2 weeks apart and have grown up playing together usually on a weekly basis, at least.  Anytime I would have a rough day I could text Amanda and almost every time she would come save me from whatever I was struggling with.  The boys have grown up so much over the last year and it makes me sooo sad that they won't get to keep playing and being buddies for the next couple years while we are in Washington.  I have known Amanda since I was like, 10 years old, seriously.  We grew up in Ohio together, went to many EFY's and girls camps, and she has always been a friend to me no matter what has been going on in my life.  We will miss them SO much.  She had to force me to give her a hug and say bye...usually I avoid goodbyes at all costs and just pretend like I'll see them the next day or something.  Saying bye is an instant tear releaser, especially since I have no idea when we will be seeing them again!  Sara and Grant were up at Amanda's house too which was a wonderful surprise because I didn't think I would get to see them again before I left! We got to chat and hang out for awhile and we went to lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe with all the kids.  It was a perfect day and I am so grateful for both of their friendships in my life!
