Week 11 and 12


The week of President's Day Rusty headed off to California to help his parents remodel their kitchen. He also got to go and see our friends Alexa, Matt and their little one Carlie. I stayed back to see if I could do the whole by myself mom thing just in case Rusty has to work out of town. Russell, Buddy and I went to Blackfoot for a couple of days to see Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie Faith and the great-grandmas. We had a blast with them and it was really hard to leave. See the pics.


So after my trip to Blackfoot, Rusty and I returned to Boise to finish up my maternity leave. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown. I will be going back to work next week. I have mixed emotions about this. I am happy to go back to the job I love, but very sad that I can't be with Russell as much as I would like. He is getting so big and strong. He holds his head up really good, sits on the couch with his daddy and me, and loves to talk and giggle when he is awake.


Tomorrow, marks 3 months that we have had Russell. I was really excited tonight as we were waiting for Rusty to come back from the hall meeting. Russell has begun to roll from his belly to his back quite successfully. I was so happy for the accomplishment but also I am very aware of the realization that he will be moving soon too. We love him so much.

Reviving the Blog

Image
So it is time to revive this blog. I have not used it in several, and I mean several years. Solely do to life and the fact that I didn't think I had the time. Well no more. I think I need to have a venue to share with you all our current pictures and life. I don't really like to do it on Facebook all that much. So with that... it's alive! No better time then now right? It is the week of July 23rd, Rusty and I and our three energetic kids are having a great time with the Colburn clans in Newport Beach, CA. We arrived here, by plane yesterday and have already basked in the glow of the beach and the condos we are staying in. While the flight was quite early the kids did great, one might think they had fun. With good food and fellowship you can't really go wrong. We took the opportunity to celebrate Linda and Russ's 50th, yeah I said it, 50th Anniversary which will be in December. We dined at a fabulous restaurant Sellebello, thank you Heather for finding the l...

January

Image
I know that January is not over yet but I thought that I would get out some fun pictures we have of Russell. So he has been going to the Children's Center at Boise State University since August. I personally think he is thriving there as he is learning how to play with others and what it means to share. He always seems to be having a pretty good time when I go and pick him up. But, he is always happy to see me to which makes it even better. There are some pictures in this batch of him experimenting with food based paint (I think the chocolate was his favorite) and going to the library with his class. I also found some rather hilarious moments in the car with an Fred Meyer ad and when we took him to Sockey for lunch. We got him a meal from their kids menu which he tried to devour in minutes (Kid loves cheese, carbs, and meat) so the chicken quesadilla was a hit. He tried an onion and made a pretty funny face. He is such a ham. It's getting harder to take his picture because he ...

Catching Up

Image
For the first time in months I have a little time to catch up on my blog. I am proud to say that I at least had all of the pictures loaded I just need to get them in Russell's photo book. August , September , October , November , and December was very busy. At work I had new job duties and a new Unit to be a part of while Rusty attended school full time for the first time in a really long time. He did a great job. He diligently went to all of his classes and studied. He even successfully passed part two of Elmentary Spanish after being out of 101 for over 10 years. Russell has grown and grown. He gets a little belly and not a week later its gone and he has grown again. He turned 1 year old in December and Rusty and I couldn't believe how much he had changed. We went to Blackfoot for Christmas and got to spend some time with my mom and dad, and Faith. I wished we would have had some snow for Russell to play with at the time but, we just got it late this year.
