Getting better.....

Nothing really new with us. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family. Miss our other family that lives in Pocatello. Loved the Thanksgiving break away from school, don’t want to go back. We got to enjoy each other and have free time which was so nice even though I really should have done homework.

My sister and I went shopping on Black Friday. I know call us crazy. We started at midnight at Wal-Mart, then by 1 we were standing in line a Target for 3 hours (opened at 4) then by 5 we were still in line to check out. I left my sister in line and I went to a Shopko got out of there by 630 and my sister had just been out for maybe 20 minutes. It was crazy insane. Then we went to Fred Meyer to get socks. We were home by 730 got there throw my keys and wallet on the ground and feel to the ground. As soon as I put my head on the ground Donaven attached me. So needless to say I didn't get to sleep every long. We both took a nap together then by 3 I went and woke up Travis so I could get some sleep before the BSU game. So I got into bed then couldn't sleep because all I could think about what that I needed to tell Travis what had happened and everything that I got. So then I did that. Did some work and then I finally feel asleep and then like an hour later it was time to go. So didn't get a lot of sleep but when you’re dumb you got to be tough. The only good thing is that I got most of our Christmas done. Just a few people left and Donaven Birthday!

Donaven is turning ONE in 19 days. I can't believe it. Our little boy is one. He has been such a blast this year and I can't wait to see what is in store for us next year. I know it’s going to be a challenge but I can't wait for it. He has been talking and running like crazy. He is such an odd duck and anyone can tell you the same thing. That is the best thing about him. He has his own personality that we just love to have around. He smiles to everyone, loves to give hugs and kisses. And it is usually not one it like ten. This makes anyone’s day. Get into everything and loves to throw it. Drives me crazy.

The funniest thing happened tonight. Travis was giving him a bath and usually after every bath he loves to run around naked for a minute or two then he gets ready for bed. Well he thought he would have a little fun with daddy and so did I. Donaven was in the kitchen and Travis was getting up to go get him and I said "run run run" and well he did. Travis was chasing him all over the house while he was naked. He thought it was the funniest thing every. He was laughing so hard he ran into objects. But then would get back up and see where his daddy was. As soon as Travis would get close to him he would run again. I died laughing and Travis was like fine whatever you get him dressed. Then I stopped. :) I was just glad that he didn’t pee or poop on the carpet because that has already happened once when he ran around naked after bath time.

Why Why

Don't know why it is so hard to try and write something every week but it is. Going to try and be better but not going to promise anything :) Just got family pictures done the other day and they are super cute.






Donaven is almost 11 months old. Which is crazy to think because that means he will be a YEAR old next month. I can't believe how much time has gone by. He is walking and running all over the place. He is a handful. He started walking at 9 months. He can stop just about anyone that he passes. They stop and say how cute he is and then he just smiles and runs away. So funny. Big time flirt and we are not even one. Can you say big trouble. Donaven last time we weighted was at 24 pounds. I know chuncky monkey, he is healthy and strong and that is all that matters to us. We keep hoping that he will start to lose some since he is walking and running but he just seems to want to eat more lol. He is starting not to like baby food any more and wants what ever we are having. He still only has 2 teeth. I keep thinking that he is teething but he's not. So I am waiting for the day that all of his teeth will come in at once. :)

Travis is still working at Freds. He is now working the grave yard shift. Which is kind of nice and not at the same time. We have a lot more family time which is awesome but he is gone during the night and sometimes that is really scary. But it brings in the money to pay the bills. He is getting a raise in the next few weeks we hope. (cross our fingers). So that will be nice to have a little bit more coming in. He is going to school part time and just keeping busy.

I am also going to school and have about 10 credits. I did have 12 but I dropped one class when we were moving and everything was changing. It was just to hard. I actually just started my own business. Premier Designs Jewelry. I am an consultant. I am really excited about it I hope that everything goes well. Its nice just having to work when I want and for how long I want. But the other nice thing is it is kind of my away time from everything.

We just welcomed a new niece into the world today 11/08/10. He name is Jami Lyn Glascock. She was 9 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long. She had a lot of dark hair. Just the cutest thing ever.

I know I know.......

So it has been a very long time. But we have been really busy. We finally got our HOUSE. We moved in about 3 weeks ago. So we have been trying to unpack everything. Not as easy as I thought it would be.

Donaven is 9mth and will be 10mth on the 17 of this month. Crazy. But what is even crazier is that he is WALKING YES WALKING. All over the place. So funny and amazing to see him explore everything. So we have been on our toes. He has even found out how to get off the sofa and out the front door and get on the grass plus put all the rocks he can fit into his mouth. I am just amazed at how smart this little boy is. Some times to smart for his own good.

School has been really hard for Trav and I right now. I think with everything that has been going on we just don't want to go and do anything that has to deal with school. So it has been a struggle for the both of us. We want to take some time off but we know we will not come back so we are just going to stick with it and hope it gets better.

Trav has started his new schedule at work. He is now a Section head which is awesome. So proud of him and all that he has done for our family. He now works the grave yard shift. I have mix feeling about this. Sucks not having him at night to cuddle with and protect me if something happens. But on the bright side Donaven and I have been able to spend so much more time with him. He leaves at 11pm then gets home around 915am the next day. Sleeps most of the day and gets up around 2 or 3 and is up until Donaven goes to bed. So we actually get to have dinner together, watch TV shows and have dinner with our friends and just be together. So when I look at the big picture it seems to work out for the best. Plus it has been pretty consistence on his days off which has been so nice.

Last month I was coaching 8th grade C team Volleyball and that was interesting and tons of fun. I really enjoyed getting out there and playing and teaching the girls. It was tough at times but when isn’t life rough. Now that Volleyball is done I am starting my own business. I am really scared but Travis supports me and believes in me so I know everything is going to be ok. I am going to sale Premier Design Jewelry. I am super excited and hope that everything goes well. Along with that I am going to sale watches (the really cute beaded watches I will get a picture and post soon).

About our house We LOVE IT. Love having our own space to do whatever to. It is taking a long time to put together. Not going to lie with everything going on I really don't have the time to work on it and make it perfect. So right now it is just thrown together as neat as possible until I have time to work and make it perfect. :) Plus usually what I do Donaven has to go and rip it down and make a mess so what is the point anyways. :)

Quick update.....

I am really bad at this. I thought that I would have more time to do this. WRONG! My little guy is 8mths. Crazy!!! Time is just going by so quick. He is into everything and when I say everything it really is. He can pull himself up, crawling all over the place. He is a pretty smart little boy. He has two teeth already and more are their way. He has the cutest smile and laugh. Donaven loves his family. He has gone so many places already and he has been such a good boy.

About a month ago we went to Denver for a few days and we drove the whole way. (Long trip) The way up was the worst he didn't like being locked down for the whole trip and then way back he was such a trooper. He did great! Slept the whole time and came home and said hi to papa and nana and went to bed for another 5-7 hours. I couldn't believe it.

We are still living with my parents. We have been dealing with our house for the past 4 months and we are finally in the last stage. We can see the light. We hope to be in the house before the end of September. Crossing our fingers everything goes well. We are so excited and can’t stand it. It has been a rough road for us. We have thought about just ending the process and starting over or even going back to renting. After praying and thinking about the pro's and cons of everything we have decided to stick it out. So I will keep you updated on the house situation.

Well...lets see what else has happened. My brother and sister-in-law have had their baby and she is just beautiful. Her name is Tegan Marie Lang.


Here are a few pictures of the man that rules our life. :)

These to pictures we let him feed himself. And let me tell you he loves it. Mashed potatos are his favorite. Then since he was a good boy we gave him so chocolate cake and he had it all over the place.


This picture we are heading to the water park. All smiles....


Me and my little boy at the Zoo!!

6 months old...

Our little bundle of joy is 6 months old. Crazy how time goes. I just wanted to show some picture of our handsome little boy. He is so much fun. He is starting to stay up for most of the day and sometimes the night. lol. He is sitting up on his own, rolling all over the place, smiling, laughing, and eating. He has tried some new food once in a while when I become brave and deiced that its OK. :) We have started rice cereal at night with his bottle to help him sleep longer, then we are feeding him baby food at dinner. Since I am trying to get him off me we are going slowly and he seems to like it. He has just grown so much I can't even being to explain. Crazy crazy..











Well we are still waiting news on our house. We hope within the week we get a letter saying that we can being our process. Crossing our fingers.

Our Wonderful Life

Ok. I know that it’s been a long time and I am not that great at this, but things have been crazy and I mean crazy. So we moved to Kuna last month and have been living with my brother and sister-in-law. That was a lot of fun spending time with them. Now we are living with my parents. Jon and Emi (brother and sister-in-law) are getting ready to have their baby girl come. I am so excited for them. So now we are living in my parent’s basement until our house close. So it has been a fun adventure for us in the past month.

It has been really hard on us this past month living in a small space and not doing everything that we used to do. I love to scrapbook and all that is put away. So I really don’t know what to do with my time when Donaven is sleeping. I know I know I should take a nap to but I look at that as my time to do what I want. Oh well.  Trav and I have looked at this experience as a good thing even though sometimes we don’t believe that to be true. We have had our shares of disagreement  This experience has helped us grow closer together. We do have our moments when we are butts to each other but who doesn’t right.

Well we just heard some news on our house. A few weeks ago the bank sent out an appraisal guy and well I guess they didn’t get all the information that the bank wanted so now they have to send him out again. So that should be done today then it will take 20-30 days to get the banks side all done, so then we start our process. So we should be in within a month and a half and at the worst case 2 months. So we are crossing our fingers that it goes quickly and smoothly so that we can get in and have our own space.

We are so grateful to my parents for putting up with us and letting us invade their space. Plus they are saving us money so that we can save for our house. We have the best parents in the world (both sides). They are so good to us and help us out in time of need, couldn’t ask for better parents. So I just want to tell them both we love you and couldn’t be here today without your love and support.

Ok now it’s time for update on our little boy Donaven. He is rolling over like crazy. So it’s so fun to watch him. He is starting to chatter a lot more also. He has found out that he has a voice and loves to hear himself. He knows how to shift directions if he wants something that is clear across the room he will get to it. He is getting so big I just can’t believe how time goes by so quickly. Nana and Papa love having their little boy here with them and watching him grow up. Donaven is the best thing that has happened to me and Travis. He is such a joy in our lives. It’s hard to think what we did with our lives before he came along.







I hope this makes sense to everyone. I am not the best writer but I am working on it and trying my best so stick by me and I will get better.

We did it.

We found a house! YEAH. Its a 3 bedroom and 2 bath. We just put an offer on it and yesterday we just got a call and they accepted our offer. So we on our way. I can't believe it. I am the only one that has seen the house. Travis didn't come with me so I called him and tried to explain everything to him and then I told him that I was putting an offer on it. So I sure hope he likes it when he sees it. He has a lot of trust in me. So now we are just in the waiting process of moving in. It can be between 4 weeks and 3 months. We put on our contract that we must close by July 31. The only reason we put it for 3 months is because its a short sale and those take some time. We are getting a great deal. At least I believe that we are.

We are only running into one problem. WE don't have a place to stay till then. There are not a places in the area that will do month the month lease and not jack up the price. So as of right now we are going to have to live apart for a month. We will probably end up living with a family member for 2 months. Which wouldn't be bad but have to do what you have to do. Plus they would be saving us a lot of money.

Well Donaven and decided that he wanted to get sick on us. He is starting to get a cough. So I hope that it goes away soon.
