Since the last blog...

We have been big time slackers. A lot has happened since our last post, but we haven't updated it mostly because we ran out of batteries for our camera and couldn't upload pictures to share. Who wants to read a blog with no pictures?! One of the biggest changes around here is that after 3 short months I have gone back to work part time. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I only work 2 days a week for 12 hrs each day. I work every other Sunday, every Wednesday, then every other Friday. We only send Liam to a babysitter one day a week (Wednesday). I thought I would have a meltdown the first day but I did surprisingly well and was only a little teary eyed.

Liam is doing great and is growing like a weed! I can't believe he is already 3 months old! He is now wearing size 3 diapers. I know this may not be a big deal to most of you but for a first time Mom this is BIG! I can't believe my little boy is already big enough to wear big boy diapers. At least he won't be leaking out the top every time he poops! Liam is also starting to babble and grab at his toys, which is always fun to sit and watch. We haven't gotten a full laugh out of him yet but we think he is close.

Josh starts his version of The Biggest Loser tomorrow at work and is excited about it. He went to the doctors last week and was put on blood pressure medicine. Given his family history of heart disease the doctor wanted to start him on something now. Josh said I could share his beginning weight with all of you so that you can follow along for the next 12 weeks to see how he does. He will start at 190 lbs and hopes to go down to the 150's. After he loses the first 25 lbs he gets a flat screen TV for the bedroom. (A prize fro both of us!) He has wanted one for awhile now and thought that this would be a great incentive to push him along.

This past weekend we left Liam with G&G Harlow and went to dinner and the to Toad's with our friends Dave and Aleece. We had a lot of fun and played a little mini golf and did the go-carts. We will for sure have to go back and try the laser tag! Liam did great with G&G Harlow (we new he would be fine), and we decided we should try and get out alone a little more often (well Josh thinks so). Well I better end this long post. We bought batteries and should be able to post more frequently.

It's been a few days since our last post but I was waiting to upload some pics to share. Last week Jenn's Aunt Carol and Uncle Jim flew in from Sacramento (their not really her aunt and uncle but the relationship is hard to explain so we just call them aunt and uncle). They came to see Little L for the first time. It was great spending a few days with them and we can't wait to take Little L down to their house for a visit! We hope it happens sooner than later!

Josh's sister Tess got married on Friday. It was a nice small wedding except for the 100+ temperature. Little L didn't like the heat so much so we had to leave early. Congrats Tess and Blake!

Saturday night we had our annual ElderPolusa. This is something we look forward to every year. One of our friends in our ward has a huge hill in their backyard so we get a large roofers tarp and throw a couple of sprinklers on it and have an awesome time going down it. This year we only had a few injuries with only one person requiring immediate medical attention. Jenn has promised to give it a try next year and I look forward to taking Little L down the hill a few times!

On Sunday we had the opportunity to bless Little L at church. It was great having both of our families there to share in the occasion. We are very grateful to Josh's 2 brothers Dale and Tom who took time off work to run up to the church to help with the blessing. It was an amazing opportunity to bless Little L. Jenn and I are truly blessed to have him as our son, he is such a great baby!

After the blessing Josh's nephews and his brother Shon stayed and hung out at our house for awhile. The boys loved playing with Gus and Gus loved playing with them. Gus has been left out a bit since Little L was born but he had a lot of fun wrestling with the boys!
