Thank you!!!


Shout out to my mother in law, Pam, for giving us a gift card to Amazon.com so we could by this AMAZING Vacuum! I only vacuumed our front room and it picked up SO much dirt! I am in love with the color!!! Thanks Pam!!!!

Walking




Elle and I have made some good friends! I have started walking finally...took my body a while to start working out again....but I finally am and it feels great! There is a great little trail that goes from the Law School to Riverfront park. It is a huge park and it is just awesome! The walk is gorgeous too! I went walking with my friend Melisa and her son today through the neighborhoods by my apartment. What a GORGEOUS walk. The homes here are amazing! The pictures are of my friends Karen and Sarah and their little boys!

First day of Law School




Nicks first day of Law school at Gonzaga was on Monday. It was a long day for him, but he enjoyed it and likes his teachers a lot. We barely got to see him, but when we did we were eating special first day of school chicken marsala followed by homemade peach cobbler and homemade ice cream!
We are so happy and proud of Nick ( Elle and myself!)

TWO months old!






Elle turned TWO months old on Saturday! What a big girl she is! We went to the farms and picked some peaches...and then home to her BUMBO! I thought maybe she was a little too young to put into the bumbo....but she loved it and held her head right up! I am putting her in it about 10 minutes a day to strengthen her little neck muscles.
I was packing and unpacking Elle's last box today and came across her " old" onsies...lol I can't believe she was THAT small and now she is THIS big! Time is flying, but I am loving every minute being Elle's mommy!
At TWO months Elle can....

*Roll over to either side....still takes a bit of effort, but she is getting there
* Sit all by herself in her bumbo
* Lift her head fully upright when being held....she loves to look around!
* Lay on her tummy and lift up her head
* Sleep through the night
* Falls asleep on her own
* Sleeps in her big girl crib
* Giggles at anything and everything
* Smiles a TON!!!

Green Bluff Farm









We went to a farm on Saturday with our new friends Doug and Karen AND Charles ( Elle has a HUGE crush on him). :)
It was so much fun! We took the fruit-loop express to the peach treas and picked tons of peaches! So far I have made AMAZING peach cobbler....it even passed the test to make it into my cookbook! The weather was perfect and it was so nice to meet and hang out with new friends. Doug is a first year Law student too. After we picked peaches we all ate some homemade peach ice cream....Nick LOVED it!

Garden Party





There was a relief society "Garden Party" tonight. I went with my Bestee,Elle, and we had a lot of fun! I met a lot of new people. One girl is pregnant and due in October with a GIRL.....so Elle will have a friend the next few years in the ward! Somehow Elle's name was known by all.....even the people we had never met. I think she was the talk of the ward on Sunday or something! lol Of course Elle woke RIGHT up and kept everyone entertained....she sure did ham it up for all the ladies. Smiling and talking.....she LOVES being outdoors. She gets this calmness on her face when she is outside. Which I LOVE, because we are spending a lot of time outdoors. So this sister's house was amazing. This HUGE garden in her front yard. We got to walk around it and enjoy the beauty. The husband said sometimes he goes crazy taking care of it...but that is was worth it....and BOY is it! Very fun night! The picture of this sister is SUE....she was my first friend on Sunday and we had a lot of fun together tonight. She has 26 GREAT Grandchildren....WOW

Our New Apartment



Our new apartment is called Pasadena Ridge and it is on a golf course. Literally....ON a golf course. I have already had to look for Nick, come to find out he was putting! :)
We were so blessed to find this place. It is a perfect location, beautiful surroundings, 8 miles away from about 10 different farms ( pick your own!!!)...and the BEST part is that we won't have to move for 3 years! In the 3 years we have been married we have moved SIX times...so this will be awesome. We love looking out our living room window or our office window....or our bedroom window and seeing the green grass....also hearing the sprinklers in the morning...lovely!!!
