Christmas

These are way out of order, but this is my absolutely most favorite picture of Christmas morning!!
Christmas at our house started two weeks before when my Mom and Dad came for a visit!!




Isaac and Great Grandma Gubler (Tyler's Grandma)
Sterling blessed Ellie over the holidays. Here's their cute little family!!

Shar and Jordan Christmas morning. Brayten (2) kept calling Tyler's brother Uncle George, St. George!! Jordan and Shar used to live in St. George so I guess that's the connection!
Here we are, the entire Jessup clan including Grandma and Grandpa Gubler.
Isaac mostly slept through Christmas. just so tired
Not the whole day though. Here's some smiles.
If you ask Brayten what Santa brought him he'll tell you, "A Present!"
See, Sleepy baby.
We let Brayten open Isaac's presents later when his eye's were actually open.

I
Brayten, Grandpa, Isaac, Grandma, and Ellie Jessup
We made fun gingerbread houses out of crackers!
And I got a Cricut for Christmas!!
We are so blessed to have such wonderful and family and friends especially at the holidays.
It was back to school this week and I did fairly well considering!! Hope your holidays were as fun as ours!! Happy New Year!

What you've all been waiting for!

Okay, I know I've been a major blog slacker lately. Hey, give me a break. I've had a pretty life changing event occur! Isn't he absolutely adorable? Well, we sure think so :) He's grown up a ton since I last posted. The picture above this was taken when he was about 6 wks old. I just can't get enough of those toes!!
Here he is at about 8 wks. Don't you just love the hoody!!
Sorry, tilt head now to get the real picture. I'm not sure how to rotate this. Isn't he such a cutie??!!
And this is what I call the sweater suit! My roomate Cindy (who lives in Texas) sent this to us. She said, "Stay warm!" We sure are with this little suit. Thanks Cindy!! This was the outfit he wore to meet Santa for the first time. Sorry, I haven't down loaded those pictures yet. (it was just last night)
This one is my favorite!! (Above) I'm amazed at how much personality this little guy has!! Sometimes when he looks at me with those eyes I just want to know what's going through his head. It's like he wants to tell me all about heaven and what his plans for the future might be. Unfortunately those thoughts are just to tough to put in words!!

Yep, this is what Handsome looks like (6 wks) My little sweetie! He is a pretty chill little guy most of the time. Right now he's sleeping but today has been rough. Sometimes he'll just scream and it breaks my heart because I have no idea what he needs. But he usually calms down before to long and gives me smiles again. We have the sweetest little baby boy. Life has definitely changed for the better! You're all welcome to come visit and me our little guy any time!!

He's here!!

And He's Perfect!!

4 more weeks!

Only four more weeks before our little man should be making his appearance!! No one's more excited than Mommy!! We have an ultrasound tomorrow and I'm looking forward to taking a peak. He's such a wiggly little baby. Tyler's jealous that I get to hold him all the time right now. Honestly I'd like a chance to pass him off! Four more weeks!!

Thanks

Blog Slacker

I've decided that I am an official Blog Slacker. So much has happened lately that I haven't posted about, and since we don't have the internet at home anymore I absolutely never upload pictures. Sorry. I'll give you some details of life in little Wyoming!
We just got home from girls camp at 2:15 this morning. Tyler came with me this year as our Priesthood leader (mostly I needed him to come take care of me!) We weren't supposed to be home until Noon or so today, but one of the other leaders got a really bad migraine last night so we offered to pack up early and bring her home. We were headed back this morning to pick up the girls when we got a call saying they had it covered. So, after a few loads of laundry and a 2 hour nap, here I am.
I've just been reading over the requirements for my teacher evaluation portfolio I have to do this year and I'm absolutely overwhelmed. I can't use any of the materials I put together for last year beacuse my baby is coming right in the middle of when that unit most likely will turn up. So I basically have to start from scratch (well I have taught the other units before it's just that the one I prepared is already to go) Crazy timing to have a baby, but hey, the Lord works in mysterious ways right?
Speaking of the baby, I didn't even post that we're having a BOY!! We found out in June and even though ultra sounds aren't 100% accurate all the time. this baby is 99% boy. We moved up stairs into a different appartment that will hopefully be warmer this winter and started setting up the babies room. It's pretty exciting to have the little dresser and crib waiting for our new arrival. I'm so caught up in that fact that a baby is coming to our house that I easily get overwhelmed with that fact that regular life events will continue. I don't know why, I guess it's just the hormones!
Oh yes, we moved up stairs because rather than a house we decided to buy a lot. We got a steal of a deal on a nice 1/4 acre lot up on Red Mountain two blocks behind our appartment. We're planning to break ground sometime in April or May and build a house all summer. WHOA. Are we crazy or what?!!
NYC was a fun, hot trip. We just happened to pick the week of record highs for our vacation, but hey, other than a little heat rash we weathered pretty good! The Statue of Liberty was magnificent. WICKED was fantastic!! Sorry, but I'll have to save trip details for a later post.
So there's a quick update of summer life at the Jessup's!
Keep Cool!
