Two of a Kind






I thought I should get a picture of Shean and Jack in their plaid shirts. Shean is a cowboy wannabe, and I think he's going to try to get Jack to be the same. That's okay because I think they look cute! Jack is really his daddy's little boy when it comes to looks. I'll have to try and find a picture of Shean when he was a baby and we can compare.


We just got this new jumper for Jack. He's trying to get it figured out, and in the process, he's enjoying the toys and mirror that are attached. I just love the look on his face in the second picture, and you can see how squeezable his little face has gotten. His attention span is pretty short, so I'm trying to give him different things to do throughout the day. He's a fun and busy little boy!

Wyoming News

I had to tell you about this before I forgot. Last Friday, we decided to stay overnight in Rawlins on our way to Cheyenne. Trust me, it wasn't because Rawlins is a really nice place, it was only because it was late and snowy! We watched the Olympics that night, as we have pretty much every night, and then the news came on after. The station was out of Casper, and I must say, it was a stark difference from Utah news--It was low, low budget. Anyway, the really funny part about it was that at the end of the news, while still showing the newscasters at their desks, an advertisement came across the screen. "Suntans provided by Golden Bottoms Tanning Salon" ! I thought that was hilarious, and maybe just a little embarassing for the newscasters. Only in Wyoming!

Bath Time




Jack is getting so big! He's 4 months now, and boy has the time gone by quickly! He's loving solid foods now, especially the green beans and bananas. He's such a happy boy and talks all the time. Shean and I both love his smiles, and they melt our hearts every time we see them!




We've just started out on a new adventure in our lives. We are living in Cheyenne, WY for a couple of months. Shean got a wonderful new job working for TriStar Constructors on a pipeline. It's definitely a change living here, but I'm happy that Shean was blessed with this new job, and especially that it's one that he absolutely LOVES! After this short job is over, the next pipeline he'll be working on is in North Salt Lake, which means, we are going to be moving back into our home in Orem! Who would have ever thought?? Not me! I'm actually really excited about it though. It's going to be nice to be home in our own place, but I'm still going to miss living by my Mom & Dad and Jackie's family too. I never knew how wonderful it would be to have family, and especially your own mom around when you had kids of your own. I'm going to miss that so much! Good thing living in Orem won't be as far away from Mom as we are now! I hope Jack will give her plenty of reason to visit often :)




We finally found a place that will rent to us month-to-month just yesterday, so we're hoping to "move out" of this hotel and into that place tomorrow. I'm going to be happy when I can cook again, and we're not living in one room with a U-haul out in front of the hotel! I just got a list of books to read from Melynda yesterday because I'm trying to keep busy, and she's the queen of reading! I'm excited to get one or two of them today when I get out. I figure I might as well join the blogging world again since I don't have any family to hang out with anymore. This will be my "family" time to keep in touch and keep you updated!




Hope you enjoy the pics of Jack!
