Enjoying the nice weather


Finally, we had some good weather last week and was able to get outside. Drake and I went to the park, to Red Butte Gardens and for some walks! It was really good to get outside instead of being couped up in the house. The best part was that we went rock climbing! I haven't been since i got pregnant so it has been a while. Right before I became pregnant with Drake, Chris had bought me a harness and shoes, so this was the first time I was able to use them. Thankfully Lance, Teisa and Emie came with Chris, Drake and I to help us out! It was a lot of fun!

My trial run as a mother of two

So my sister and brother-in-law went to Hawaii for a week (unfair, I know) and so I watched their 2 year old. Chris and I stayed at their house with Drake and Emie and I got a crash coarse in parenting a toddler and infant. I had a lot of fun! I was nice to actually be able to play and talk to Emie and have her talk and play back. Emie was also a lot of help with Drake. She would hand me the diapers,wipes, burp clothes and blankets, so that was nice! I am lucky to have other nephews that are around Emie's age to have play dates with. I think Emie had a lot of fun with Drake and I, but I know she missed her mom and dad alot! Here are some pictures from my crazy week.

Thanks Emie for making this week so fun for Drake and I! I am going to miss you, and all of mine and Chris's family when we move this summer.

So we finally took Drake to get his pictures taken. They turned out way cute, so here they are. I know I only put updates about Drake on here but he is so much more fun to read about then Chris and I.

Two months old



Two months.....WOW!!! Where has the time gone? Drake is now 9 weeks, and he had his two month checkup this week. He has gained over 2 pounds and grown 3 inches since he was born; he is now 10lbs 6oz and 23 inches. Smiling for Drake is easy, smiling is his favorite. He is talking up a storm, in his own language of course, especially while he eats. Drake is good to us at night, sometimes he will only wake to feed once, although it is more commonly 2-3 times. He is growing and changing every day and we can already tell he will be a mover and a shaker. Stay tuned for more Drake news......

It's Official!

We finally know for sure where we are moving too!!! Chris was accepted to a couple medical schools, and wait listed at a couple more, but Chris and I finally made our decision. We have been leaning this way for a while, but wanted to hear back from all the schools before we made our final decision. Milwaukee, here we come. Chris was accepted to the Medical School of Wisconsin the day after Drake was born. We are super excited to move and have a little adventure of our own! School starts the first week of August, so it looks like we will be moving sometime in July. We are planning a little trip out there in June so we can look around for places to live. Congrats Chris! All of your hard work has paid off! I am so proud of you!
