Boys and their Toys

Jeff is done with finals and has been so excited to play the Wii a little more. He has been perfecting his skills and I love playing with him (usually I loose...)! The Wii has become his favorite boy toy! This morning we had our nephew Jaxon over. He also really enjoyed his own toys- rattles and teething rings. Jeff was laying on the floor playing Mario Kart and Jaxon was sitting next to him. They both were concentrating so hard on their toys when I snapped a few photos.

I looked over a minute later and Jaxon had laid down on the pillow with Jeff. He laid there for about 5 minutes just watching Jeff play. It was SO adorable!!!

Mothers are wonderful

Happy Mother's Day

I hope that all of you Mothers and Mothers-to-be had a great Mother's Day!! I had a great day. Jeff started the morning with some delicious waffles, followed by a couple of present (mostly things to help me with the newest phase of life starting so soon!!), and then a nice afternoon movie and snuggle! Then we went to his sister's ward and listened to her and her husband give talks in sacrament. They both did an amazing job, I wish every mom/mom-to-be could have heard them!

Happy Birthday!

I had such a wonderful 22nd birthday!!! Jeff had to take a final that day, so I just had a lazy morning. I even finished the top of a quilt that I had been working on (yippy!!). When Jeff got home from his final I got to open my presents! I got some very fun things including Mario Kart for the Wii, a pedicure and the BEST gift of all (and one I have been begging for....) was this snow cone machine shown below. We have had snow cones every night since!! After presents we played the Wii for a little and then headed out for dinner with my Jana and Chad (Jeff's sister and brother-in-law). It was so much fun hanging out with them and dinner was DELICIOUS! Then we headed back to their house to do cake and ice cream with the kiddos! I loved EVERY minute of my birthday!!! Thanks Jeff- you made it an amazing day!

Thank you SO much for all of the birthday wishes that I got through out the weekend! I loved hearing from everyone!!!

Pregnant Belly

Well, this is my tummy at 7 1/2 months. It is getting bigger! People at stores actually ask when I am due now. I am glad that I finallly look pregnant and not just chubby! When I was in the airport in April (going to AZ) a lady even let me go to the front of the line in the bathroom (I must have looked really desperate with my big belly!). I am starting to feel more uncomfortable, but I know it will only get worse!!!

A tons of post in one night....

Sorry, I know 3 post in one night- but this one will be short!

The other day our REALLY great friend Amber Phillips sent a picture to Jeff and I over facebook (there is a little bit of back story--- Cody and Amber just found out they are having a little boy in October). Here is the picture!

Jeff decided that he would improve on the picture...

We love Cody and Amber SOOOO much and are VERY happy for them and their little boy! I joke around that our little one will be his suga mama!! But of course they will be best little buddies!!!! Congrats again to the Phillips'!! We love you guys!!!

Teeter Teaches Torts....

(Hannah- You and Adam look amazing on our fridge!!!)

I love alliteration, don't you? Well, I have used this alliteration all semester to help me remember which teacher teaches which of Jeff's classes (none of the others sounded as fun, so I posted this one). I think it took me all semester to remember what his schedule was going to be on a daily basis. I think I finally had it pretty much memorized, but then he stopped having class and it was finally finals (another alliteration for you...) So, much of last week and all of this week have been completely devoted to studying for finals. In law school, let me remind you, the only grade you get is on your final exam. Pressure, I know! I worry so much more about Jeff's finals than he does, but this semester I decided I would be proactive and would help him study! I made him flashcards and put up signs all over the house with definitions on them. I quizzed him over and over again, and even tried to understand when he started talking to me about the difference in an easment in gross and an easemeant appurtenant (I have become a property guru, haha). He was most nervous to take his Property exam, which was his first one on Monday. We studied so hard for it and hope that it pays off! He takes his 3rd one, Torts, tomorrow (I know a Saturday final- doesn't that stink?). The 4th and 5th will be next week, but then he is ALL done- kind of! He gets to spend the rest of May working on his application to become part of the St. Mary's Law review. I can't wait for June :-)!!!! He has done an amazing job with law school. I am so proud of how hard he works and I'm pleased that I get to learn a little bit on the way too!

Some more of the "flashcards" that I put up all around our house. Some times I would hear Jeff talking to himself and I would realize he was answering the cards!!! I am glad I could help him a little!

Baby ?'s Room

So, we have the baby's room painted (mostly), the furniture is in, we put the bedding in the crib, and now I can't wait to finish making it look cute and girly! We choose an amazing color of green for the walls and eventually there will be the adorable tree painted too (once Jeff is done with school...). Then we had to add pink and purple, so we bought this rug at Wal-Mart (it was an amazing deal, if you are looking for a smaller rug you should totally check out Wal-Mart). Now I want to add some pink/butterfly/flowery curtains and a couple of other wall decorations to make the room complete! If you ever see cute and cheap decorations let me know where :-). I have been hunting at Ross for the past couple of weeks, but still nothing amazing!

P.S. If you are in the market for a crib and are on a budget, I would totally recommend the one we bought. It is from walmart.com. They send it for free to the store and it comes in like 3 colors. It is the Storkcraft Rochester crib. It was easy to put together and is SUPER cute!

The very expensive Wal-Martian rug! Machine-

crafted in China!!!
The crib!!!

Up close picture of the bedding! It is so cute!

Right now the glider is in our room, but eventually it will be in the baby's room. Also, it is next to my really messy nightstand, but if you ignore that you get the idea of how cute the chair really is!
