Changes

There has been lots of changes in our lives recently...

Marty just put in his notice at his current job. He is going to be starting work for his brother David at Apex Drilling Sept. 1st. We are VERY excited about this change. He has really enjoyed his time working for Cody at Bowers but this is more of a long term career and as I said, we are very excited!

We also just moved into my grandparents house. They are on a mission in Ghana, Africa. They've been gone since October. My brother, his wife, and their four kids were living there before but my brother just recently got a job at a CAT dealership in Pocatello so they moved (congrats again Jeff! Super proud of you!). We are very happy to finally be out of an apartment and in an actual HOUSE with a LAWN! We are still trying to get organized and all settled but it has been really great so far! We're excited to be able to spend the next year or so in their house taking care of everything for them. I'm really close to my grandma though so I'll also be very happy when they come back :)

Declan is a little over 5 months now! Its crazy how fast time is flying. I know I say that a lot but it is really true. He gets smarter and grows and learns new things everyday! I've taken him to the kiddie pool a couple times so far this summer and he has seemed to really like it. I'll try to get pictures the next time I take him. He has been eating baby food, too. I started him on it at right about 4 months. He would always watch us so intently whenever we were eating so I thought it was probably time. He eats AMAZINGLY good! He opens his mouth SOO big and he'll get a little irrated at me if I don't feed him fast enough. I was just feeding him baby food once a day but I just started feeding him twice a say now. He still is nursing just as much, too! He is just one hungry boy! He is built like a tank (He feels like he is about as heavy as one, too :) haha). He loves being on his tummy. He is such an entertaining little guy! He LOVES sitting, standing, kicking his feet! I have a feeling I'm going to be in trouble with him very soon :D He's teething too, but I think he's actually been very good considering. He still is sleeping really good. He averages about 8 hours at a time at night and wakes up to eat and goes back to sleep and he is getting a lot better at taking his naps. He's been a lot sleepier lately, but I think that is a mis between a growth spurt and teething.

Honestly, I don't think life could get much better right about now. I'm happy, Marty is happy, and Declan is sure happy most of the time :) I love being a wife, I love being a mother, I love being ME!

Crazy how my little boy has gone from this....



To this :) My sweet baby Declan!
