Sunny days are here again

The weather has been so nice this week! Tyler and I have been outside as much as possible--trying to get mommy back in shape!! We have some killer hills near our house and pushing that stroller is a great workout!

Tyler has been smiling like a fool, and he's starting to laugh too. And have I mentioned that he's been sleeping 7 - 8 hours per night without waking for feedings!?!?! It's been a dream come true. Just when I thought I couldn't take another night of feedings every 2 - 3 hours, he surprised us and slept all night. That was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. So we're pretty confident that this should stick.

I am just now learning how to balance my life and Tyler's needs. It's still tough when we are gone for more than three hours during the day. Yesterday I went to the mall with Jaime and had to feed Tyler twice while we were out. It was an adventure for sure. I figured it out of course but sometimes I envy those formula babies!! I also have a hard time when I have meetings and other activities back to back. I can't always take Tyler with me and that poses several problems. First, I miss him terribly. Second, he needs to eat and I don't always have time in between to feed him so he ends up getting a bottle I pumped for him. I'm figuring things out though. And I can't put into words how much I love being a mom and how much joy Tyler brings to me each day.

We've had some family come see us in the last few weeks: First Grandma and Aunt Denise, then Aunt Denise came back and then Grandpa came! Now "other" Grandma is coming this weekend!! (Not sure yet quite how to differentiate. Maybe we should say Idaho Grandma and California Grandma? Or Grandma Pimentel and Grandma Miles? I have no idea.) We love when family comes to visit. It's a lot of fun and I'm finding that it's nice for me to have a little extra help with the baby. Though I should insert here that Erik is a huge help and I appreciate and love him very much!

Here are some recent pictures: (and yes, that is Tyler in the kitchen cabinet. And no, I did not approve that.)

I had a hard time trying to figure out what to call all the grandparents too....Cameron calls my dad and step mom in Puyallup "other" grandma and grandpa...he figured it out all on his own!

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
