Love Love Love

This year has been the year of love!! My good friend Rachel got married and then right after a close cousin Lacia got married and then right after that my brother Nick got married to his high school sweetheart Amber!! Its so fun to witness all of these weddings. Love truly is a beautiful thing! I think I cried at every wedding ceremony.  I remember when I got married I woke up that day and didnt even care what my hair looked like or if I had a zit. I was just so happy!!! Anyways...August must be the month to get married in Utah, I have 7 wedding invites on my fridge right now! Crazy! Happy Love:)

New Job

I currently work for a Home Health and Hospice company as a PRN which means on call or as needed basis.  Lately I have not been getting really any hours because they lost a patient that was like 30 hrs a week so that CNA gets all the on calls and I am there if she can't take it.  I decided to look into other jobs.  I applied for a CNA position at Intermountain and was called for an interview. As I went to the interview the manager lady had to run somewhere for 2 hrs real quick so I interviewed with the lady who is over volunteers.  Whenever I go to interviews I also like to get a look at what kind of competition.  They were hiring one person and doing over 30 interviews.  As I walked away I knew I would not get the job because I have little experience and I didn't even get to interview with the manager.  Well to my surprise I got offered the job and I am very excited to start.  Its hard to get on at intermountain because it is super cometetive and they can be very picky.  I will work 16 hrs a week and it will be perfect because I will have a set income! Yeah for jobs!!!

9 month stats

Height: 30 inches (71 percentile)

Head: dont remember but (71 percentile)

 Weston and his cousin Paisley. They are 7 months apart. She is 10 lbs so this is what 10 lb difference looks like on a baby. Weston and Paisley will be best cousins and he will protect her:)

We love our little Weston!!

Mothers Day

Yesterday was my first official Mothers Day and it was fantastic. We had a fun weekend in St. George with close friends and headed home yesterday. I woke up to sweet flowers and a sweet card from my husband. To get my husband to write me a sweet card from his heart doesn't happen too much because he it not really into all the mushy stuff. Well the card was so sweet and made me cry a little.

My heart was very full yesterday.  Looking at my sweet baby Weston yesterday feeling so lucky to have such a happy healthy boy. So blessed and privileged that I get the chance to be his mother and what a responsibility that is. He has a clean slate and it is my responsibility to give him the guidance he needs to be a good person. It is my job to teach him everything. No pressure right? Well I am up for the task and if he is anything like his father he will be a wonderful man and be a GREAT husband one day. 

Special love and thanks goes to my own mother. She is a wonderful person herself and has taught me so much. She is the hardest worker I know and has always done it for he kids and family. What a great role model she has been fore me. My mother in law is a fabulous women as well. She did a fantastic job raising my husband and I know he gets many of his great qualities from her. We are surrounded by wonderful women so here is to you!! Thanks for all you do! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY:) 

Baby Food

So I have just decided that I am not really a fan of the baby food stage. It is messy, takes patience, dirty clothes, Weston is picky- forcing him to eat veggies is hard you would think I was torturing him by the way he was crying, and (sorry this is gross) his BM's are getting to be more human like if you know what I mean. But I do enjoy that it is a lot cheaper than formula:)

Oh and by the way I got a job, it is PRN (on call) so I work when I want so that is really nice. If people call me and I don't want to work I can simply say "no" with no questions asked.

Excited for Summer!!

The mis-matched socks, one night his toes were cold and I was too lazy to go upstairs to get a pair and found these in the livingroom

Must have been having a happy dream!

Craft

So I am not crafty at all! My mother in law and sister in law Carin on the other hand are the Queens of crafts and being so creative, seriously. Anytime I go over to Carins she has made something new that is so cool and I wish I could totally do it. A couple weeks ago I went to the fabric store with them for fun and asked them how hard a skirt would be to make. They said it wouldn't be too hard and my mother in law offered to help! So I bought some fabric and made me a skirt with a lot of help from my mother in law. It took a couple days only because we needed more fabric the size chart was very off. Lets say by 10 sizes off. I needed to act like I was a size 16. But we got it all done and I am excited. I really enjoyed sewing, I want to make another skirt. We got the fabric for like 8 dollars and just some time! Totally cheap skirt!
