Max's Lullaby



I know we post a lot of videos of Max and he hasn't grown that much but he brings us so much joy and we wish we lived closer so that we could share him with our family but this is as close as it gets right now. Max has a daily and nightly routine of making noises to put himself to sleep. He is a pretty happy sleeper and I can lay him down with a blanket in his crib and he creates his own little jibber jabber lullaby's to put him to sleep. He was pretty relaxed in this video after a bath and being fed so I guess he started singing his lullaby for mom and dad. Enjoy

Big Boy!!



Max is developing and growing so fast. He is using his hands a lot more. He can hold things, shove things in his mouth, pull toys off his mobile when they are hanging in front of him and even knock bottles out of my hand to make a big mess when I am trying to fill them with formula for him. Whenever we get close to him he can't help but grab our faces and noses. This video was taken last night. I had never seen him notice his hand like that and couldn't help but take a video of it. This picture is just a snap shot of how strong max is getting to be able to hold up his own bottle. We love our little boy!!



Tami was kind enough to take some baby pictures of Max. She did so well, I feel so lucky to have these pictures of max forever. These are my favorite 3 of the many she took. It was so much fun to watch her take pictures of him.

Conference Weekend



We visited home for general conference and had a blast hanging out with the family. Max is a lot more interactive now and will laugh and play with us. Grandma got a lot of laughs out of him. We also went out to the park for a little bit. Max had too much fun and didn't make it home befor he fell asleep. He was sooo tired.

Congratulations Liz!!! We love you and are so proud of you.

Max's Blessing


It was such a blessing for us to have been supported by so many family members and friends. Luke and I felt so lucky to have such a selfless family that would support us even for such a short time. Thank you everyone for driving as far as you did and giving up your time to visit us and support max. We love you all so much.

2 going on ...Eternity

We feel like we have been married a long time compared to the couples that live near us who have only been married a few weeks, but after reflecting on the past two years and realizing we still have an eternity, we were very humbled this weekend. We had a very fun and relaxing anniversary. We decided we would just spend the whole weekend together. We went on a long walk, ate lots of yummy food, went to Bar J Chuckwagon in Jackson Wyoming and had a yummy roast dinner and homemade blueberry pie, made by yours truly.
It has been a great ride for the past two years. Luke and I were reminiscing about the first few months and how we were so shocked by the little disagreements we would have and how we were wondering what we had gotten ourselves into. We both couldn't help but look at each other and appreciate the sacrifices that the other has made and that we stuck through the think and the thin.
We love being married and are so grateful we have so many good examples of strong marriages in our family to learn from and look forward to the future.

Chapter 2: Charish the little moments

Max has taught me so much in just two short months. Yup, he will be 8 weeks on tuesday. I wrote in my journal for the first time since i have had him. I reflected on how at first I tried to fit max into my life and how I quickly realized it was a priveledge to be a part of his life. Even though life has changed for the better,I have started to see the same things differently. I don't have time to long for things in the future when ever hour I am thinking about how to make max happy.

I have spent a lot of time wondering about the greener grass on the other side but thanks to max, I am starting to learn how to appreciat right here and now before it passes me by. Last night all I was thinking about at first when max got up was how long it would take to put him back to sleep. In the middle of nursing him, in the dark he just pulled away from me, looked up at me and paused, then smiled and started cooing at me. My heart melted and I just talked to him for a few minutes and we both smiled and stared at each other. I won't get that exact moment again and I'm glad I had it. Here is another moment I am glad I have on tape so I can enjoy it over and over again.

Chapter 1:Adventures with Max



Yesterday Started out as a promising day. I had to go back to the office and work and Max was there to keep me company. He was able to sleep almost the whole work day and everyone that came into the office just adored him and told me how cute he is. I thought that working and taking care of a baby is a piece of cake... lets just say I am very optimistic sometimes, or just silly however you want to see it.

It was about 20 min before closing and Max woke up very hungry and upset. The phone was ringing and I was very flustered. As I was trying to get the formula ready, I accidentally spilled it all over the desk and Myself...max is still crying at this point and getting louder. Once I finally got to feeding him, he gulped it down within a matter of minutes. I thought, "Wow, he is so fast that was great." That was my first lesson to learn as a mother. Lesson #1; Eating fast on an empty stomach is not good! We didn't even make it to the front door before he spit up half of his milk which got all over both of us and proceeded to drip onto our porch. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this point so I just laughed. He took his first bath and we just cuddled for a while to try and calm both of ourselves down from quite an adventure.


I am sure this won't be the last. :)

It's finally here!!





I just wanted to start off by saying that I have had a very hard time being this big. I have strongly been rejecting people's requests to parade my hugeness to the world due to the fact that it only appeases them and not me. Well I found a good lists of reasons for myself to put up my picutre and here they are...

1. People will have sympathy for me
2. People will pray for me to have the baby soon cause I don't look natural this big
3. So max will one day appreciate the fact that I gave birth to him.
4. Lastely, so people stop making me feel bad for not showing them.

I am very serious about these reasons. I have righteous desires to have my baby early so everyone needs to pray :)

Alley's latest

We have officially moved to our second home in the alley family. We are currently livng in a TRAILER. The greatest part is that it is an upgrade from our previous apartmet. At least in size :) But in all reality we really enjoy living there. We are assistant managing an apartment complex where I do the office work and luke helps out with occasional grounds crew work. It is a team job! We are still in Rexburg and will be till something drastically changes in our lives. I am starting to think this is home for us. We have both lived here for so long, I can't imagine living anywhere else at this point.

If your wondering what luke is up to these days and why he hasn't graduated yet, it's because he is working very hard to support us financially and finish school at the same time. This translates into him taking six credits this semester and next and working almost forty hours a week at his Internet marketing job.

I am finally starting to back out of my job, due to the fact that I can barely pull myself out of my chair and walk more than a few yards without having to sit down. This is due to the fact that I am weighing more now than I have in my entire life and due in less than four weeks. June 26 is the big day. Maybe sooner, cross your fingers. Other than not sleeping and other fun pains that aren't going to be put out for public to see, I am very healthy, as well as the little one inside me.

We are having loads of fun and just waiting for rexburg to thaw out so we can enjoy the summer and everything that it will bring with it.
