THE DAY OF RELIEF!!!!

I quit my job today! i feel so relieved!

Our Weekend Getaway

So to celebrate Jareb's 21st birthday and Valentines Day and our 2 year anniversary (which isnt till june haha) we decided to go to Sun Valley and leave Tyson with Bubbas parents. The plan was that bubbas parents are gonna meet us in Twin at 2pm on Friday. Thursday Night they decided we would meet them in Burley at 4pm:( i was so upset because then we didnt get to our hotel till 8 that night and had to have food delivered to us and it didnt get there till after 9pm. we got to our hotel and it definately didnt look like the pictures where i reserved it online. the doors were outside like a motel. front desk man made us wait for 10 minutes while he talked on the phone. when we got to our room we ordered our food and decided to hot tub while it was being delivered. the hot tub was outside and about the same temp. as the pool! and the towels in our room had sticks on them just like if they were dropped on the floor. yuck! we had to warm up in the shower cause at least that could get hot enough! so i called and complained and supposidly they were booked so they couldnt upgrade us. bummer. Saturday night we started our day off at a crappy breakfast place cause we idnt get a free breakfast with our hotel stay. we got 5 percent off this cafe place where our food wasnt worth the bucks we paid. then we went to go tubing and that was fun besides me being sick so my throat was hurting pretty bad. we wasted time after that walking around and going to the grocery store to get some lunch and then went to our 1 hour massage that felt really good! that night was so romantic. we went on a sleigh ride to dinner and it was beautiful! it was so elegant we even had an accordian play at our table:) Sunday we woke up and looked all around town looking for breakfast and finally found some and it was alot better than saturdays breakfast. i wanted to get my baby back after that but of course that wasnt allowed. not only did we have to wait 3 hours but we had to wait in Burley!!!! grrr.

February Goals

Wow today I am full of thoughts I feel like. For the past couple months I just feel so overwhelmed with all the crap we have. Seriously we havent even been married for 2 years and we have way too much stuff to carry house to house when we move (of course bubba likes to keep every tiny thing including all his school work for memories:/ And my grandparents had bazillions worth of crap. it filled our 2 door hanger with a 2 story apartment plus other little buildings in our yard (my house in california growing up) and their own 2 door hanger and their house was just stuffed full of useless CRAP! Even though i dont have that much stuff I feel like I am on my way to that already. So for my first goal of February I am going to get rid of any unnecessary crap we have in our house. I am a person who likes to be organized and i just cant do that with useless junk laying around in space i could use for something useful so tonight i started!

Goal Number 2: Now that I am working just about full time I feel like my son isn't getting the attention he needs so I am commited to stay more in tuned with our son. Meaning everyday i will make sure he gets at least a few minutes in the fresh air. I just realized that he is always cooped up here in the house and i get to go to work and i even feel cooped up but he rarely leaves! poor kid. i know its freezing outside so just walking to the mailbox and back is enough even. Also i want to make sure that we are doing learning activities. I know our son is so so smart already but he can't learn new things if im not there to teach him so this week i started teaching him nose and mouth. and sometimes he will touch my nose when i say "where is mommas nose?" freak he is awesome! I also started letting him scribble on paper with a pen (until we get crayons or something). he still wants to eat the pen though haha. Last but for sure not least, i need to get in the routine of reading him books again. when i stayed home we read at least 4 books in the day time and 2 at night with daddy.
So here is to the month of February and my goals:) I think each month i am going to set a few goals because i didnt set a new years resolution cause i knew i wouldnt keep it. doing a few goals a month seems better to me. Ill get a lot more accomplished:) <3
Did I mention that I'm not a fan of flowers (since Valentines day is coming up). They remind me of dead people and funerals:(

The Love Month

with Valentines day just around the corner I've been thinking a lot about Jareb and I. He amazes me!!! Recently I had a very very depressing day (not sure why because nothing about my life is depressing) but I had NO idea why i was so sad. Bubba was right by my side the whole day! He asked me if i needed chocolate even haha and Im not even a fan of chocolate but he was willing to go get me anything i needed or wanted:) He made me a hot bubble bath that usually fixes everything. To top it off he brought me a glass of sparkling cider with a straw that had 2 hearts in it:) Still wasn't fixing things:( So it just got me thinking how amazing he is to be there every second for me trying to make everything better when im not the normal me!
Bubba is such a great father too! It literally brings tears to my eyes to watch him play with Tyson. The smile and twinkle in Tyson's eye loving every minute of playing with his dad:)
Where would I be without my family? I can't even imagine my life without them:) I am trully blessed!

Random update for the week

As a Mom I now know how it feels to have to work full time while i have some one watching our little one and it breaks my heart. Although I always leave the house perfectly fine when Chandel watches him because i know he is in good hands with someone Jareb, Tyson, and I can trust. The days that she isn't able to be here i have to take him to an in house daycare and i always go to work in tears. I just dont think i can trust these people and so this week i decided that would be the last time i take him there. I feel blessed that for so long i was able to bring him with me to work since i was a nanny but now that Bubba works for St. Lukes he can only work 20 hours a week all year long! bummer! so im just trying to pick up some slack!
Not much happening this week but i declined going to Brown Mackie because im not for sure they are accredited for MA. not gonna chance being in debt 12k dollars for 2 years. on the other hand, this week we started working with Tyson on walking and standing on his own. Today is the first time he almost feels secure about standing on his own. Saturday night we went to the cheesecake factory and invited jessica and mike along and then came back to our place to play just dance 2! its a blast. i cant get over it haha. this coming saturday we are having a just dance wii party im stoked! Church has been really good. i really really like our ward!!! its awesome and i dont wanna move out of it when we move in april....maybe we can specially request to stay in it? we will see!

"Go Crazii"

Not much to blog about except today Tyson associated the word "no" with shaking his head no so when i tell him no he shakes his head...so cute! And we were practicing walking to daddy and when he was standing with daddy i told him "Go Crazy" and he starts shaking his head and moving his arms up and down in a crazy manner its great! he also know what birdies do. i say "tyson what do birdies do?" and he flaps his arms:) yes i know our son is quiet the genius:)
