New Car

I recently got a new car! I'm so grateful and happy to have it! I've never had a nice car before and I feel so fancy in it. We sold my old Honda Civic to John's little brother's friend in CA. We decided to get a more "family friendly" car. It's a VW Tiguan. It's a small SUV. It's super fun to drive. Anyway, right after we got it the car wouldn't go into park. I was so annoyed. They fixed it and brought it back. The same thing immediately happened! I was really mad this time. They took it in again and had to order a new cable for the drive shaft. Apparently there was a bent cable in the drive shaft. It was in the shop for a few days and I finally got in back the other day. It's all fixed now. It was just a weird fluke thing to happen to a new car. Anyway, here's a pic of it. Cheers to a fun car!

4th of July 2012

It's obviously a lot different celebrating Holidays once you have a kid. Haha. We had fun though. The baby had woken up at 5 AM that morning so we slept in a little late. We got to the ward pancake breakfast around 9. It started at 8, so we thought they would still have some left by 9. Wrong! All the food was gone and they were cleaning up right when we arrived. All we could do was laugh. #pancakefail. We decided to just go to McDonald's and get breakfast. When we got back we took Wes to the pool for the first time. He loved it! We put a lot of sunscreen on his fair little body and face. Unfortunately, in the pool he rubbed sunscreen in his eyes and they got all puffy, red and swollen. Poor baby. You can totally see in the pics his red eye. That evening we went over to this couple's house in the ward who have a 16 month old baby. Weston didn't really know what to think around him. It was funny. Their baby just wanted Weston to come walk around and play with him. It was nice to make some new friends but the baby started getting fussy and tired so we had to leave around 8. Sadly we didn't see any fireworks this year. We did hear them in our apartment though. Haha. Kids are so unpredictable. Anyway, here is Duder at the pool with dad and in his festive outfit from yesterday. I took a ton of pics in his 4th of July outfit while he was distracted watching Sesame Street. Haha.

Life Lately

Here are some random pics as of late. Most of them are from my instagram. I'm a little obsessed with instagram. I just can't help it. Anyway, I love being a stay at home mom. It's tough and monotonous sometimes, but I have so much fun watching Wes grow and learn new things. I live for his smiles! They melt my heart. John is settling into his new job and enjoying it. I'm so grateful he has a job and we are here in Houston. Life is good.
