HE NEVER STOPS!

The past few weeks Boston is finding new places to hang out all over the house! It will get real quiet around here and I have to go on a hunt to find our little guy in our tiny apartment. Here are a few places I've found him lately...

One of Boston's favorite hangouts lately is Stella's kennel...why, I don't know but he LOVES to just crawl in, close the door behind him, and hang out...have I mentioned that one of his favorite "snacks" is Stella's random pieces of dog food that he finds on the floor. Is there a connection?!?

I guess he learned how to get himself into the dryer.

This picture is him getting "BUSTED!"

But then he thought, "I'm cute, so mom doesn't care!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!!!!

Don't you just HATE it when people don't update their blogs regularly? I DO! But...I can't be too mad lately because I've been quite the slacker. I have an excuse for this past week but other then that...I don't have a thing. So today, hopefully I'll be able to get caught up....here we go!

My beautiful attempt at a home made birthday cake! HA!

Last Thursday was Kent's 27th BIRTHDAY! YES 27!!!! I can't believe he's almost 30! Where has the time gone? Last Tuesday, we had a little combined birthday party that night for Jared N. and Kent since their birthday's are within the same week. We got everyone together and grilled, ate, and visited. That was Kent's official bday PARTY so when Thursday rolled around we didn't do too much especially since Kent doesn't get home from work until 9:30 or so. I failed to make Kent a birthday dinner since I was running around all day getting his birthday stuff (yes, I was a slacker and waited last minute) and preparing for our trip to Bear Lake that we were leaving for the next day. Sooooo I made him pick a restaurant to order takeout. We ate dinner from ON THE BORDER (WE LOVE) at about 10 pm, opened his present, blew out candles but were too full from dinner to eat any cake and then Kent stayed up until 2 am playing with his new present!

Since the ipod box is sooo small, I always feel like I have to keep him guessing and wrap it up and put it in bigger boxes to keep him wondering what it is.....

Still going...

Almost there...

GOT IT!!!

I was asking Kent what he wanted for his birthday and his first quick response was a video ipod. He didn't want me to spend alot of money on him so he quickly tried to come up with something else and said to get him a new black belt for church (BOOOORING!). I KNEW he wanted one SSSOO bad but I also new he REALLY didn't want me to spend too much money...so I went in with my parents and I surprised him with what he REALLY wanted! He was surprised when he opened it and said that he was REALLY happy that I ended up going through with it and getting him one because he was secretly hoping that's what he would get! I know him TOO WELL! Thanks Mom and Dad for pitching in!

I LOVE this man and I hope he had a GREAT birthday! He's SUCH a great husband and father who's not afraid to work hard! He has such a great spirit about him and is always finding the positive things in life. He will always be a kid at heart and knows how to make anyone laugh! I'm so glad that I'm the one who got lucky to be stuck with him for eternity!

WE'RE ON THE MOVE AGAIN!

Yes, that's right! Does it seem to anyone else that we can't seem to stay put in a place very long? We just felt like being in Dallas for a year was WAY too long to be in one place and decided we better get out! Okay, TOTALLY kidding, in fact Kent and I both HATE to move but change happens and sometimes that also requires you to move!

We finally came to the conclusion on what to do with our life after debating and praying about what we should do. Should we start our own pest company or should we take the offer from Source? Well, after much prayer and thought we have decided to stick with Jared's offer to become "VP of Sales!" This also means that we will be moving......where to.......?

Yes, the great state of Utah (I have very mixed emotions about this)! All of the manager's under Kent are all going to school and doing their recruiting out of Logan, Provo and Rexburg so being in UT allows Kent access to them alot easier and to be able to keep tabs on everything. Last year I think it was a little bit more difficult being here in Dallas and just going up and visiting once a month. So we came to the conclusion that this was the best bet for us. I say that we will live their MAX 5 years and Kent says ATLEAST 5 years! Guess we'll see! The positive and most exciting part for me is to FINALLY get into a house! I told Kent I WAS NOT going to move into another apartment! He feels the same way so in Septemeber we will be heading out to go house hunting! That's the part I'm THRILLED about! I'm also really excited to be so close to family and good friends! I won't go into any of the negatives...I'll just keep looking at the glass half full! OH! Kent will also be getting back into school which is a DEFINATE positive so he can finish up quickly! When will the move happen? Well, Kent will be selling until the end of October and then we'll move hopefully sometime the first of November! This is all so crazy and probably for some of you out of left field. We've kinda kept it under wraps for the past month and a half or so. But now it's out and we've committed to this decision so that's where we stand! Yes, we are CRAZY and YES this decision is FINAL!

WE ARE STILL ALIVE!


I feel like I've been an aweful blogger lately! Part of that I blame on our internet being down and the other part...well I don't really have much of an excuse except for laziness! I also don't have much to post about so to some this may be a boring post! Sorry!

Can I just say that Boston is EVERYWHERE!!!!! He has been walking since 10 months and I always felt like him being into every thing was THAT big of a problem...up until about 2 weeks ago! He is into EVERYTHING! It drives me nuts because I like to have a clean house and I'm really having to learn to let go. This is VERY hard for me which is also resulting in me pushing VERY hard for a playroom in our house even though I'm sure it really won't help THAT much!



I feel like Boston is picking up on things alot more lately and is really comprehending what we say! I love that everything he does makes me laugh. Kent and I could seriously just sit on the couch while he entertains us all night! I love him! I have been trying to record all of his new accomplishments on video but he REFUSES! All he wants to do is hold the camera and play with it therefore resulting in no video of him doing anything! SOOOO ANNOYING! I managed to get a few without him 1) knowing about it or 2) for some reason actually not caring which usually NEVER happens...

Boston LOVES to get his shoes! He LOVES to have them on his feet and he gets even MORE excited when he knows we are leaving the house! He'll run to the front door and open it (yes he has escaped) and run out the door to the car! He's getting pretty smart for a little guy...

Climbing up on chairs was Boston's first thing he conquered as a climber. He still hasn't quite achieved anything else but he tries really hard to get on the couch but can't quite get it. It's sooo funny seeing his chubby self try to manuever up on things and he gets SOOO frustrated if he doesn't get it on his first try!

Did I mention Boston is everywhere and into everything? Well on this day I couldn't find him for awhile and I was calling him and calling him and finally went into my closet and found him sitting in his old carseat just relaxing! As soon as he saw I had the camera he was trying to climb right out to take the camera from me...

See...nothing much exciting happening in our life. Just counting down the days until Oct. 31st!

I did forget to mention that Boston has now had his first pooping in the tub incident! I was TOTALLY grossed out but kinda relieved it was NOTHING like the poopy crib incident! Let's cross our fingers that he's gotten it all out of his system and it won't happen again! I've still not sterilized his tub toys (NO he's not still using them). I've just been lazy but I should do that today...

I'M SO READY TO BE OVER IT!

Who else is ready for their husbands to be finished selling this summer? I feel like this summer is taking FOREVER and all I want is to go to the beach as a family and RELAX! 3 more months...
