where is my hubby?

Chad began working at Nu Skin this week...on top of his job at APX and his calling in the Bishopric... basically, i NEVER get to see my husband! This new job has its perks (we get $250 worth of free product each month) <- that, I LOVE...what I don't love so much is that my poor husband gets NO breaks and we don't have any time to spend together as a family! with this new schedule, he will be working from 7-1 and 3-9, with sundays and tuesday nights reserved for his calling. I know that it is going to be hard on me and Noa, but I'm more worried about Chad getting worn out, and even worse, sick... :( ...it is just temporary, thank goodness, so hopefully we will be able to stick it out for just a few weeks!

I got it!!

I finally got a ticket for the H1N1 vaccine! I've been trying to for a long time to get it, but I always seemed to be a little behind...well not this time! I lined up at 8 in the morning at the Utah County Health Department and waited for an hour in the line. It was FREEZING, needless to say, but totally worth it! I love that they switched to a weekly ticket/voucher system... Now I don't have to worry as much about Noa getting the swine flu, especially now its going around in our ward.

Exactly 2 years ago...

Chad and I got engaged!

it happened right before we left for a cruise down the coast of Mexico...at a beautiful park in Las Vegas. He had the perfect set-up: a picnic under the stars and palm trees with candles, rose petals and sparkling grape juice. I will NEVER forget the feeling I had when he popped the question! It was the best day of my life! - well at least up to that point...

It has seriously been the BEST 2 years of my life! We have gone through so much together, and I can't wait to spend the REST of my life with him! :D

I am so truly BLeSSed to be married to the LOVE of my LiFE!

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween is such a great holiday! we get to dress up as whatever we want and no one can look at us weird. This year i decided to go simple...at least with me and noa's costumes...i was a black cat, and my little pumpkin was...well, a pumpkin (jack-o-lantern). Chad came up with his awesome golfer outfit all on his own! and it was so cute! - he totally looked the part!


My mom bought this costume for Noa, but it is actually for 18-36month babies...so it may have been a little big :D



We didnt do much but we did end up going to our ward party, and it was so much fun! the families from our ward are all SO creative when it comes to costume ideas...we had the Incredibles (minus Jack-Jack), the 5 stages of Michael Jackson...O, and cant forget the SWINE FLU family...



Swine flu family - they were definitely one of my favorites...almost as much as...


The Asian President Obama

(Noa was all candied out by the end of the night :D)

O how he's grown...

This is Noa at 1 week old:


and here he is at 2 months:


He is now 23 inches weighing in at 12 lbs 1 oz! (thats almost a 4 lb increase since birth) He's a CHuNK and I LoVe it!!

Happy 2 month!!

It's been exactly 2 months since our sweet Noa was born! I feel like it has just flown by soooo fast! sometimes I just want time to stop so that we can enjoy each moment we spend with our little guy. I want him to stay this little forever...although every new phase still becomes my favorite. I enjoy so much just watching him develop and learn to do new things.
I LOVE that he is interacting more with his surroundings and with us, making eye contact, smiling, laughing, and even talking a little ;) I LOVE that he is able to hold up his head better now and he doesn't seem so fragile. I LOVE that he is sleeping longer at night with less feedings and less diaper changes (more for Chad than anyone else). and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watching him grow and experiencing LIFE!

Rolling over

Noa rolled over from being on his stomach to his back!...possibly because of the softer surface he was on or because of his big head :D but he did it!
Possibly the CUTEST thing I have ever seen!
