Here are tons of fun, cute pictures:
London's 1st easter with her and daddy's easter basket
She always sits like this...It's so funny
Jon was watching her and didn't strap her in so she sat up to get her toy
She fell asleep holding onto her monkey!
She pulled off her sock and was chewing on it for a long time without using her hands!
London in aunt Vicki's huge purse
Lots has happened and been happening. I don't want to do lots of posts so it will all be piled up in one, including random pictures. So bear with me.
London started to laugh a long time ago (We got it on film but my computer won't download it right now. I'll get it out soon). She is "talking" away right now. She was talking so much the other day while I was studying for a test that I just wanted her to be quiet for just one minute. I couldn't stop laughing to focus. Of course I usually don't think that! She is going to be like her daddy...so fun and friendly. Above is a picture of her in my sister's purse. It was so cute! The purse is big! So London is not just incredibly small. We did go to the doctors the other day and she is in the 50% for her weight. She has maintained that since she was born. So that was great news. I thought she was small but she is doing great, healthy and all. She weighs almost 14 pounds.
I am finally done with school for the summer. I actually should be graduated, student teaching and all, but I took off a semester and then had to spread some classes into two semesters because of when they are offered. I can't student teach now until next January! I have one more semester before I student teach and that will start in September. So it'll take me five years to get a bachelors degree! Oh well. I'll get there eventually. Hopefully I can get student teaching approved in Florida so we can get out there sooner (by this December). I have to petition to do it.
I will still be working, I've just increased my hrs to almost 34 a week. I've been doing only 18 hrs since I have been in school. I must say it has been a little hard taking care of London, working and going to school. Jon has helped me out so much! I took some hard biology classes and I spent most of my free time studying. Sometimes I think Jon has spent more time with London than I have. I get as much time as I want with her now. I haven't cleaned in weeks, but it's really not that bad...
That brings me to another new thing that has happened. We got rid of our two kittys
:( It was just too much to handle with everything, and we really weren't supposed to have them in our apartment. It was hard keeping a tidy place. We miss them but it's been such a relief. We even bought a new comforter set because our other one had been snagged by the cats. I love it so I have a picture of it below.
A little on Jon now. He started and online school to go into criminal investigation to be a CSI. He is enjoying it and it is sooo convenient for us both. He just finished his first semester and did very well. He is also starting a local flag football league. He didn't like how the school did their program (not many do). He has tons of people interested. They will start it up in a few weeks. We have a blog dedicated to it: rexburgflagfootballleague.blogspot.com. We are still getting it up and running. Jon also wanted me to mention that he has a goal to own 31 Jerseys. One for every day of the month. He already has 16. I love ebay. It makes his goals a lot cheaper.

We finally cleared some space for London's bedroom. Here are pictures of all my hard work and some of London mixed in. It may not look like it but I've spent hours rearanging the room and putting up stuff. Jon has a lot he wanted to show off like lots of autographed pictures and his collection of shot glasses. So this room is a mixture of: nursury, office and man room. I still have some more I want to do to clean up the last bit of clutter, but it is such a relief to get it done. London has been sleeping in her own room now for almost a week and I'm already sleeping better. Last night she slept all night but I kept waking up anyway. She has a cold and I heard her breathing all night. It also didn't help that Jon was working an overnight shift.
Well me and Jon got a little overnight break from London. Vicki and Ben watched her that night. They came with us to a Jazz/Hornets game while mom watched all the kids. Afterwards me and Jon decided to eat dinner at PF Changs after the game. We were going to go before but didn't have time. It's a good thing too because we were almost done with dinner about 11pm and in walks 3 New Orleans Hornets players! They were huge! The only one I really remember off the top of my head was Stojakovic. Jon met them and got their autographs. They told him just across the street Chris Paul and Derron Williams were eating dinner. We really wanted to go meet them but decided not to. One guy did to get an autograph and pictures and he came back and said they seemed upset by it. So from now on after a game of any kind we are going to go to a nice restaurant afterwards. Our waiter told us where the Jazz players usually go after games, but I don't remember.
We went to Utah to visit family last weekend. We went to the Ancient history museum with my sister and her kids. Below is a picture of Alisha and Ashley by a shark. They are so cute. Me and Jon also got one with London. I have a picture of just me and the same shark from a few years ago. I thought it would be cool to have a picture with my family. The shark was one of my favorite pictures from my trip in the summer of 2007. There is a picture of it at the very end of my blog page somewhere.
Our old car is breaking down and is very unreliable, so we decided to get a new one with more space. We really got fed up with it when the heat went out last week. That's the second time in about a year it's completely broke on us. We were not going to pay another $288 to fix it on a breaking-down car. We came across this on accident at a dealership looking for another car. They didn't have the one we were looking for, it was at their other dealership across town. I asked if they had anything else in our price range, and there it was...a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that just got traded in. Almost a week later it was still there and we got it! We got a great deal on it because dealerships are having sales. We even paid $1,000 less than we were planning for. We are sooo excited. It even has a DVD player and navigation system. It is so much more than we were looking for. It feels so good to have a car that runs well and has heat.
