Straggler pictures

Jack at work w/ me. Sleeping like a little angel.

Introducing Jack to Blue's Clues. We both loved it!



DJ went to hand him to me, and he wouldn't bend his legs! Silly boy.

March Pictures




He is so close to sitting up on his own!!

Just getting some mommy hugs!

I LOVE my stroller!! I take it running at the park almost every day, or to the mall. It is the best stroller =-)



We went up to visit DJ's Great Grandma's grave to get a picture with Jack! It was supposed to be a nice day, but started to snow =-P Gotta love Utah.

March Madness

March has been so good to us! Really, this whole start of 2011 has been great! I keep saying that there is nothing going on, but I think that's just me being lazy =-p. So, I thought it'd be nice to keep my out of state family updated on how we're doing! DJ just turned 23 on March 4th!!! (I know, I'm a bit late posting this...) But he has been amazing so I just wanted it to be recognized! He's such an amazing husband! He takes such good care of Jack and I. We never fail to have fun together, and we totally balance each other out. I couldn't have asked for a better husband and best friend to share my life with and raise our little boy with =-). He went to Vegas w/ his dad and grandpa for the weekend of his birthday, so Jack and I stayed home and kept each other company. DJ is doing great at his job as usual. He is working so hard for his family. He's picking up almost every Saturday shift, which means he's working 6 days a week. We are just so set on getting into a house once our lease is up, so we're trying to save as much money as we can! Around this time next year is when we'll be really looking for a house. We've been saving since we got married, so by then we will hopefully be where we need to be!

I got my first personal training job!!! It's at a gym in east salt lake (that's where the money is, baby!) And the couple who own it are so awesome. They are so laid back, and understanding about daycare for Jack and everything. The gym they own together has been going for about 10 years (not at the same location) and it's the best personal training job you can get without having your own business. They're going to start by feeding me clients, and eventually I'll build up my percentage of payment once I have been there and training for so long. They are totally helping me start my career by letting me shadow them and learn and ask questions. I've been shadowing on my days off at the office, and will be starting to learn how to train pretty soon! They are pretty much taking me under their wings and helping me start up my career. I am so lucky and blessed to have gotten this opportunity!

Meanwhile, Jack had finally started to discover that his hands are for grabbing things, so he was randomly batting at things we put in front of him. We had to actually put his toys in his hands for him to grab them though. Finally at the beginning of this month (which would have made him about 3 1/2 months old), I was doing dishes, and I looked down to see Jack (in his bouncer) holding his little monkey friend right up close to his face! Haha just staring him in the eyes. It was so cute. So he loves grabbing things now. His new favorite thing to do is sit. He can't do it completely on his own yet, but he is soooo close! Our little boy is so strong! He really is such an amazing baby. DJ and I could not be happier with him. He only cries when he's hungry or overtired. Luckily, we haven't had to deal with him being sicker than having a stuffy nose. He is such a happy baby, smiles all the time, and is starting to laugh! Just the cutest little baby laughs you could imagine. We are so loving being parents, and so loving life. I'll post some pictures as soon as I find time to take some new ones!
