Since we are currently living in the middle of no-where, I thought I would post an update for those of you who we haven't seen us in a while and who may find our lives somewhat interesting...
by the way, yes...that is a naked Nolan... he has a terrible diaper rash so we decided to let him 'air-out' for a bit. I'm not a huge fan of exposing my son on the interactive highway, but this photo was just too cute!
First off, the baby Nolan is for sure no longer a baby I keep looking at him and going. "wait when did you start looking like a little boy?" he has 16 more days until he can officially attend nursery. He seems to be right on track as far development, although he doesn't say much more then da-da so I'm trying to help him out a little bit... (if you have any suggestions let me know!) I feel like a failed mother because I have yet to ween him off of his bottle, wish I would have done it sooner!
Abe has been Super busy at work (which by the way happens to be constructing a new casino), and also just received a call to be the new Young Men's 1st counselor. Abe has also become a hard core runner...not really but he did agree to come with me on Saturday for a 3 mile jog...he hasn't run with me in probably about a year or so...he may be a little on the sore side! He also is the secret behind my new blog, because he helps me come up with half the ideas I use...shhhhh don't tell!
As for me, I am getting use to my new calling as relief society 2nd councelor and reminiscing about the 'good old days' when Abe and I were students and could slip in and out church undetected and as we pleased. Besides the everyday mom stuff (cleaning, laundry, cooking, & more cleaning...) I have been having lots of fun with my new blog and hope to be doing a little freelance project for a company that contacted me a few weeks ago (I'm keeping my fingers crossed!)
We had a blast last weekend in Silverton, CO (a tiny abandoned mining town which is now primarily a tourist attraction with lots of old fashioned shops, & restaurants). The town sits right in the center of a huge Mt. range...It's seriously one of the coolest places I have ever been! We stayed all day and watched the firework show that evening. We bought Nolan this cool wooden toy train (shown above) at a gift shop which he loves! Although I have to admit I was a little upset when I saw the exact same train at target for half the price...grrrr!
Don't worry, more 4th of July pictures to come!
I like hearing about your life. It is like.... like ours. ;) I hate that about buying "unique" items. You'll have to ask the gift shop person if it was made locally, I guess. I've done that, too. Love the golfing pic.
