A little too tall!

We took Mitch in for his nine month check up and he is in the 80th percentile for height... as shown in this picture he is using it to his advantage! He is also 60th in weight... surprisingly for how much this little guy can eat! I feel like I feed him ALL day long! He has also had two teeth come in on the bottom in the last week, and more to come! (His upper gums are swollen and the doctor said they should be coming in by next month!)

Update on the Roo-mister

1. On July 28 he began crawling.
2. On Aug. 6 he stood up on the side of the couch by himself
3. On Aug. 10 Mitchell stood up by himself on everything he could find and refused to go to sleep in all his glory of accomplishments! (He was even clever enough to grab is bottle off the stool next to his play pen and start drinking it.) And entertained us with giggles and goofiness until 11:30 when he finally went to sleep, cuddled up to his blanket lying on his side as always. :)
4. Prediction on Aug. 20 Roo will be walking! (With this kind of progress we are only giving him two weeks until he walks! And he is determined to do so!)

The adventures of Roo aka mook mook

Snapshots of the last little while.....

Mitch's fist trip to the cabin!
Well ever since I started Nursing school life has become pretty hectic.... at least in my brain. So here are just a few of the things we have been up to.... during April and some of May...

Blessing outfit.....two months later.... and with terrible lighting..... But such a cute boy! The outfit turned out darling! Joan made the tie and my mom made the pants from my moms wedding dress! The shirt is a darling one-z white collared shirt from our bishop and his wife!

What myself and my house has become... a mess. Me working on my final show before school started.

Anna in my grad outfit... ready to be an adult.

And graduation... even though I am not really graduated until August.... BoO HOo
Sorry it took me a little while to get these up Barbara.

Blessing day and more

Palmer Grandparents!

Christiansen grandparents!

Christiansen great grandparents!

The blessing day was also Dallin's dad's birthday so Jordan and Dal worked very hard on this wooden tie they cut, painted, and pieced together themselves!

The boys looking tired after a long fun day!

This is just a ridiculously cute picture of my son in his outfit from his cousins Aspen and Millie!

Emerie sampling the Mookie's bottle!

Mitch taking his turn with the bottle! This thing is awesome! Joan found it for Mitch's baby shower! It is now a room decoration/ toy!

Mitch got sick this past week and a half so we have had a humidifier on him.... he is still not so sure what he thinks about it!

The Flying BABY!!!

Mitchell's first walk in his big seat of his stroller! Out on a Sunday walk!

The boys enjoying a yummy treat! Celebrating Dallin getting a super amazing scholarship and BYU's awesome win!

How I feel most days.... slightly retarded.

A close up of our delicious cookies with hopes that our team will do as well tomorrow as they did on their last game! Go cougars! (Someday we'll have a video of Mitch doing cool dances like Addie and Lexi :))

One day.....

One day....
I'll clean my house and it will stay clean.
I will be on time.
My homework will get done when I plan.
I won't go low at night anymore and end up devouring the entire kitchen in two minutes flat.
I won't feel so emotional from rollercoaster hormones due to pregnancy or post pregnancy.
My jeans will fit the way they used to.
I'll have dinner ready before 8:00pm.
I will get to exercise again.
I will get to sleep through the night.
..... but when that day comes my baby won't be little anymore.
He won't calm down- only when I hold him.
He won't fall asleep in my arms, holding his blanket with his arm
and my finger with his hand.
He won't smile and make cute noises when I sing to him.

So I'll find contentment somewhere in between and love my life right now because eventually that one day will come, and I'll probably miss right now.

I got in!

We found out last Friday that I was accepted into U of U's nursing program! So I will begin the program this May and be finished with a bachelors in Nursing next August! And then we leave for China! Life never slows down does it.
