Christmas Tree

This weekend we got our Christmas tree up and I have to say it was a little hard for me. I had to give in and get a a fake one :( We normally would get a real one but because of lack of transportation options to get the tree to the apartment, the one in the box at Wal-mart was the right size. It actually turned out real pretty and Cash had a really good time helping Dad put it together, so it will do for this year.... but next year a I look forward to a real wonderful smelling Christmas tree :)

Many New and Exciting Changes ...

So a lot has happened in our family in these last few months. First of all we are so excited to be expecting our second child in Early march who happens to be another little boy! I am sure we will have our hands full with two boys, but were so happy for Cash to get a little brother and friend :)
Second major event in our life is Jared just got a new job in Boise Idaho working for the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. So we have recently moved west and so far are enjoying our experience. We feel so blessed by the changes taking place in our lives; were excited for the new opportunities Jared and our family will be blessed with with his new job, and are in great anticipation for the arrival of our new family member in a few months!

Halloween 2010

This year Cash was Frodo Baggins the hobbit for Halloween. My mom who is always saving me with her sewing skills made him his own little cloak and vest. I might just be a Lord of the Rings nerd, but I thought it turned out pretty cute :)

Cash's 2 year old pics

Here are a few of the pictures my very talented friend and cousin Jessica Steveson took for us of Cash in October shortly after he turned 2. We are so happy to have this crazy little guy in our family, there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't make us laugh.

Gone Fishing

This weekend in Idaho it was Free Fishing day on Saturday. So Jared, Cash, my sister Cydnie, my brother-in-law Shane, and I took a trip up towards Ashton to try it out. The boys including Cash were all pretty serious about it while Cyd and I mostly watched, oh and kept Cash from going in with his bare hands to fish. Although we had no luck catching anything we had a lot fun :)

Cash cracking up!

This was on Easter and it was so cute. Uncle Shane was making Cash Laugh so hard he was falling over :)

It's been awhile...

It has been a long time since I posted anything. I don't have any real excuses other than life has been keeping us pretty busy :) Especially our little Cash. I thought I had my hands full with him before but the more he becomes a little boy and not so much a baby things just get more and more exciting.
He is 19 months now and also just getting started in nursery. While Jared has been counting the months down for this time, for me it has been bitter sweet. The first week we left him in nursery was very nerve wracking for us not for fear of Cash being sad or hurt, but instead fear for the leaders and how they would handle him. Our fears were confirmed when i came to pick him up and they hurried him out the door and let me know that " he is a bit aggressive but they were dealing with it." I can proudly say though he is improving and I'm sure it is partly due to the amazing patience our sweet nursery leaders have. :)
Cash is boy through and through. He loves wrestling with his dad, playing outside, knocking over his blocks, and all animals especially horses. He is such a joy in our lives and not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh.
