Well the summer is almost over and things are going very well! Jace went on his first airplane trip. We went out to Utah to visit family and Jace did magnificently! He slept the whole way out there and most of the way back. Grandma Michelle and Grandpa ray just ate him up. Here you can see Ray and Jace napping together. Since we got home Jace has started sleeping through the night and I cannot tell you how happy I am about that! Last sunday we also had him blessed at Grandpa Roy's house. It was a wonderful day for all of us. Mike seriously hated the outfit that I put Jace in but really have you every seen anything so cute?!?!?! Mike has another baby in his life... a 2002 suzuki Gsxr 600 he loves it. I keep waiting for my ride but he hasn't taken me yet! :[

Handy hubby strikes again

So Mike can never go long without a project. He loves to create, build and improve. He can really do any handy/decorative project he puts his mind to. The other day he decided that our bedroom needed Crown molding. And then 3 days later I had Crown Molding. It looks awesome. When when we were first married he would tell me he wanted to do/fix something; whether it was fixing my car or building something I would ask if he had ever done it before and he usually replyed "well, no. But its not that hard". At first it was a leap of faith to let him go for it. I am so happy that I did. I now have complete confidence that he can not only do anything he wants to ( or that I want him to) but that he will do it with such attention to detail that I never need to worry! I love that man. I now have a well painted room with a ceiling fan, flat screen tv mounted on the wall with no wires showing 'cuz he put them behind the wall. Shelves that mount on the wall. A totally well running truck, a beautiful craddle for our little boy. The list goes on. What a lucky girl am I!

Jace is doing GREAT! He is 6 1/2 weeks old right now and is (bless his heart) starting to sleep longer at night. He is getting so big, today a lady came up to me in the store and asked if he was 3 months old. I don't think he is that big but then again he had a healthy double chin. He is a healthy and happy bundle of cuteness! I can't seem to get enough of his good smell'n goodness!

ode to my pillow

Oh my dear pillow, how I miss thee so. It is not that I love the couch more than thy plush sweetness. Forgive my absence, I shall return as soon as my son shall sleepeth through the night. Till then my comfy friend, remember me in your dreams as I shall you in mine!

The prince has come

Well, Our little baby boy has arrived! Jace came to us at 7:06 on June 12th 2008. I was in labor for 31 hours and in the end it was all worth it. He had a serious cone head when he was born, and when they placed him on my chest I was pretty sure they had given me some asian baby. Now everything has reshaped and he is absolutely adorable. He has amazing skin and the cutest little smile. Mike and I are still struggling to find our features on him. So far we had decided that he has Mikes hair line and my jaw line. Other than that we will just have to wait and see! So now I spend all my time nursing and changing diapers. Today I actually took a shower and did my makeup and went out of the house... that felt so good!!! He went to the doctor for his newborn appt. and they said that he had lost 12 Oz. by the time I went back the next week he had gained almost a pound (the goal was 4 oz.). So needless to say he is a hungry boy. Before I know it I will have a little rolley-polley!

He can come now

I have the coolest Husband ever! Mike decided several months ago that that he wanted to build a craddle for our new little baby boy. He came up with a design - Built the craddle - made the craddle Mattress from scratch and even made fitted sheets !!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! So that was our landmark. Baby Jace was not allowed to come unti this craddle was finnished, because we needed a place for him to sleep in our room. So now its done and we are just waiting for him to make his grand entrance. The craddle sits on my side of the bed just waiting to be rocked.
