More Updates

Let me continue w/ my updates....

Sunday night the 31st my stomach really started to hurt and I didn't sleep too well. Monday morning I still didn’t feel well so I stayed home from work.  I ended up staying home from work through Thursday.  We’re not exactly sure what I had but we think it was either the stomach flu or some sort of food poisoning.  Apparently about half of us that were at the family get together got the same thing.  Many were throwing up on their way home the next day.  It was not fun, but I’m glad it’s over.  Nyles also wasn't feeling well but more of congestion in additoin to his teething soreness.  We took him the Dr but there was nothing more we could do but give him some ibuprofen.  We've been keeping the humidifer going as well at night plus putting baby rub on his chest.  Luckily he's doing better now also, at least not congested just teething still.

It’s crazy how quickly your health can change, so quickly too.  It definitely makes me appreciate those days that I’m feeling well.  Just to get out Steve decided to take Nyles and I to a little park.  It was nice to enjoy the sun for a while.  We walked around the park and looked at the ducks.

Thursday the 4th night my Presidency and I were going to get together to watch the General Relief Society Training, but since I wasn’t feeling well I stayed home and watched it.  We all ended up watching it on our own actually.  It was really good though.  Anyone can watch it; I’d encourage anyone to watch it.  It is really good.  There is also other trainings you can find there which are really informative.  There is also the General Training that went on which can be found here 

To keep Nyles entertained this past week, Steve took Nyles to Petco to look at the fish and animals.  Needless to say he was very entertained.  Steve said he was a little confused though when the parrot started to speak to him.

 Saturday we watched General Conference. Steve went up the canyon and fished in between conference.

Sunday we invited the couple we home teach over to watch conference w/ us and for breakfast.  We made crepes and watched the morning session together.  Conference was good, though it was a little more difficult listening in that Nyles needed a nap.  Thankfully we can rewatch/listen to them again.  They are already uploaded online and I’ve started listening to them on my phone.  We also went and took a walk for an hour or so around the neighborhood.  Nyles loves his walks.

Nyles loves to chew on this stretchy cord and have Steve blow threw it, 

even if he spits on himself

 

 

If I haven’t mentioned this before, Steve is now on our HOA board for our condo complex.  He’s been keeping pretty busy w/ that.  Unfortunately we have a lot of renters right now so many of them don’t know the “rules” so we’ve had to warn people a lot.  Steve is in charge of the grounds of the complex.  Lately we’ve been having problems w/ people smoking too close to the complex (they have to be 25 feet away from any door/window according to the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act), and also there are several cars that are not up to date on their registration.  They are giving them about 30 days to fix it or their car will be towed.  It’s nice to finally get things going in the complex.  The HOA board hasn’t really done much since we’ve lived here.

Steve is also walking on May 3^rd at the University of Utah for his Bachelor’s Degree.  He actually graduated in December but they only do one actual walk ceremony.  They have a big on Thursday night but don’t actually read the students’ names so we’re going to the one on Friday morning at 9am where it’ll be just his college, the college of Health where they will actually read his name and get pictures.  We’ll probably go out to lunch after that.  You’re all welcome to come if you’d like, no tickets are required for the commencement.

Steve is just about done w/ his College Biology class.  His just finished his last lab class today, then he has two more weeks of his main class and then his final the first week of May.  He’s excited to get this class behind him.  He’ll probably keep taking just one class a semester to finish up his last few classes of prereqs before he can apply next year for PA School.

Last Thursday the 11^th we had our Stake RS Training.  It was the best I’ve been to yet.  They had each of the wards/branches submit questions and they answered them.  They categorized them into 5 main things and addressed all of them.  We’re having a lot of people move out again this month so we need to get new sisters in callings again.  My 2^nd counselor is one of them, so once it get someone called this will be my 4^th, 2^nd counselor in 2 ½ years.  Got to love the change!

On the 12^th Nyles turned eight months old.  He actually cut two teeth last week also, his bottom teeth.  They are so cute!  He’s doing better with solids and is really moving these days.  He rolls over on his belly then wiggles around in circles and up and down to get where he wants to be, to a certain extent.  He’s still wobbly sitting up, but with the amount of wiggling he’s doing on his belly we won’t be surprised if he starts crawling soon, yikes!  Even though he’s teething and can be cranking, we just can’t get enough of his cute little face. He’s such a joy to have in our family.  

 Happy boy! 8 months old

Last Saturday the 13^th Steve went ice fishing up at Strawberry w/ Zach, Dave Thomas, his dad and dad’s friend Duane Bates.  They actually caught a lot of fish though it was rather windy and cold.  They were able to drive into the cabin and warm up for a while before heading home.
