Having fun

Only 5 weeks of the semester left! I'm so excited! 8 weeks until number 2 is to join us, and we are so anxious. Lots to do before then, I find myself getting overwhelmed if I think too hard about all that needs to be done, thought of, planned for and taken care of before more things can happen. We are still thinking that we're going to South Carolina for the summer, with no job offers, this would be our best choice.
Shane is doing great, he's not as busy as we both thought, but still enough so that I miss him a lot by Fridays.
Thayden is my master Houdini. He can escape from his crib, take all of his clothes off including the diaper, and find mysterious things in the house. Every day is such a learning opportunity, we both are finding out what works best.
I'm still getting big, I can't believe that I'm still going to get bigger, I'm having a hard time doing many things already, I can't believe its going to get worse! I've been wanting to do crafts so bad lately, its just difficult with Thayden. when he's asleep I need to get other things done or I'm just too tired. ahhh. a little frustrating. Thayden is a huge help doing laundry, dishes and making meals. Today he asked me for a hair cut! I couldn't believe it, but I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. so, he got a little hair cut, it was fun! Our March is already getting busy, as it is the last full month we will be here (hallelujah!).
I'm missing my family lots, I'm so excited for the day to be closer. Things are good for now, every day is different. Can't wait to have us both be college grads!

First day of Nursery

This is what I think of nursery!! hehe.


Ok, so this is a little late, but I wanted to put it in there. Thayden has been having a rough time in nursery the past 3 weeks, he's just not used to us not being there. We work in the senior nursery, but we really want Thayden to get used to being with other kids without mommy and daddy. He's fallen asleep in there the past 2 weeks since it is the normal 2 hours of his nap time. He's getting used to it, and only a few more weeks 'til we change times. I think he'll get the hang of it soon.

Hanging out

Well, we're still busy here in Idaho. Lots to get done, plan and prepare for. We still might be going to South Carolina for the summer with APX again. Not sure, I'm still hoping for a job for Shane.
In the mean time, Thayden and I are finding new and creative ways to fill our days and allow daddy to do homework. Things are good, I'm really feeling pregnant. I'm anxious for this baby to come and get our lives going outside of Rexburg!

A catch up in pictures

This is our family from October until Christmas. Pictures can tell a lot more than my writing. Its been a great holiday and we've had many adventures. Thayden's tool set was a winning present for Christmas. Now we are finishing unpacking in Rexburg, and continue to settle in for a long semester!

The Harvest Party

So I know I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind on my blogging. Here's an event that happened at the end of October. We had a Harvest Party with all my husbands family and my parents. My parents were able to come up to Seattle and we had a great time eating lots of good food and driving four-wheelers.
Luckily the weather was good so we could have lots of fun outside. We made a little Carnival for the grandkids, we dressed up and played all sorts of games.

A very busy 2 months

Ok, well we've been here almost 2 months and I feel like we are just slowing down. Life has been crazy with canning, Dr's appointments and lots in between. I've been helping to can things from pie filling to enchillada sauce. I've learned a ton and can't wait to keep learning more about it!
I'm feeling pretty good now. I'm 12 weeks and I'm starting to feel a lot less nauseous. This makes playing with Thayden so much more fun. Thayden is getting even bigger. He's trying so hard to talk, he says a few fun things. I even taught him how to say stinky; he waves his had in front of his face and goes "sssssssss." It's pretty fun to watch.
Things are going pretty well, Shane love his internship and I love being able to stay home and learn with Thayden.
Today should be a pretty busy day full of fixing cars, getting wood and working on the house. Ohh yah, thats what we've been doing too. Working on remodeling the house still! We never have a dull moment at the Lindstrom house. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'll try to get some recent pictures up, there are a few on my facebook page. More to come soon!!

A Growing Family

I will let the picture say it all.
