So, wow. It's been way too long since I've made a post. I think I did half of one and never published it for Rex's birthday. Sorry kiddo...
So much has happened, I will try to remember it all and make it somewhat brief. So I'll hold back on the photos for now.
Lets see, in July my Mom, Rex and I went to SLC for Bryce's 16th birthday. It was really nice to be able to celebrate his birthday and spend a little time with everyone.
In late August Chad's dad had a heart attack, due to his age there isnt much they can do. So he's on meds and will just go on living the rest of his life the best he can from day to day. He is doing much better now though.
Rex's 2nd birthday was Yankee's themed. We had it at the bunkerville park/spashpad. All the kids had a great time and I think it was a success. Rex was spoiled as you can imagine, he even got a super cool car from the grandparents. He is doing so well, he's very smart and can comprehend so much! Now that its 2 months past his 2nd birthday he is really getting the hang of talking which is so much fun and really, quite handy. His checkup went really well and the Dr didn't have any concerns :)
Well, after Don's heart attack we decided we would need to take closer care of them and it would be best if we could all just move into one house. We were very, very lucky to find a place that works out for our situation. It was kind of stressful getting everything done in such a short amount of time but it worked. So now we are all living in 1 house, we have the upstairs which is 3 bedroom, 2 bath normal house and Sharon and Don have the downstairs which is 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment thing with a kitchenette. So far it's working out quite well. More on that in just a min...
Chad and I had planned a big Vegas getaway for our 10 year wedding, but with all the things happening and the money it cost we figured we would just have to scrap it. But somehow we ended up making it work with just a few adjustments and I think it actually turned out wonderful! We even got to stay at Enore which is somewhere we didnt think we'd ever have the chance to stay. We had a good time spending a couple days together. It was really nice. Chad is hands down the best husband. I couldn't imagine my life without him and I do not want to. Everyday that goes by I am more and more amazed with his strength to be the leader of our household and manage the responsibilities that he does. He's truly a man to look up to and I am so happy that our son has him as a father and role model. Life is hard sometimes but Chad and I stick together and make it through whatever we need to. I love you babe. Seriously, I can't find the words to ever express how much I love and admire you and I am so, so very thankful to have you as my husband and best friend.
... how do I follow up after that? Hmm... ok. Well, the move. We moved in around the middle of October, thank god for the help from Jenni and Jason. I don't know what we would've done otherwise! I wasn't much help, at all... The weekend we were moving in we wanted to do a bit of painting in Jadon's room and also one wall in our room. I was being an idiot and stood on a folding chair to dust the wall and fell off and busted my left wrist. So, that sucked.
This weekend we will be going to Richfield because my my grandpa Wally passed away. It's pretty sad, but it was his time. His health was failing and he wasn't himself anymore.
So, on a much lighter note - my period was late, we didn't think too much of it due to stress and whatnot. So Chad said lets wait until your 7 days late. So we did and to our surprise the test was positive! The last couple weeks have been pretty rough. Last week I was in the hospital 2 times. But things seem to be getting better. Our due date is June 30th. We've had a couple ultrasounds from the ER but we'll be getting the 1st scheduled ultrasound this Friday. We have a long way to go, but we are cautiously optimistic that Rexy will be a big brother this summer :)
Well - that's whats been going on. It's been quite the crazy past few months but things will work out. Oh yeah, we bought a minivan a week or 2 ago, it's making things much easier and it will definitely be convenient when the baby gets here!
Hope all is well in your worlds!!
