Baby Weston

2011-12-04T16:21:00.001-07:00

What an adventure! A lot has happened in the past couple of months we welcomed a new baby into our home and we both are so happy. We are so full of love at this time in our life we cant think of anything else that we may want.

It was definitely an exciting week when our little man decided to show his cute face. its true what they say the last month of pregnancy is very uncomfortable I wasn't getting much sleep and I was still working which added to my irritability. Despite all the swollen body parts and grumpiness Nick was such a great support.

A couple days before I gave birth to Weston I was in a fender bender which started my labor process. Luckily everything was fine with the baby and myself but our car was banged up pretty bad. I'm sure with the stress of the accident and just being full term it was time for Baby to show up. About two days later I broke my water and it was down hill from there. 16 hours later Weston was born via forcepts he weighed 9 pounds 12.4 ounces and was 21.5 inches long

Baby Update and Photo Shoot

2011-08-24T13:05:00.005-06:00

I had the opportunity to get my pictures taken by a very talented young lady in our apartment building shes so great check out her website www.michellearistocrat.com here are a few pictures from our photo shoot.

This is my favorite one I love it

~PREGNANCY & BABY UPDATE~

I am 38 weeks now and everything seems to be going very smoothly! I haven't experience any contractions yet, just alot of movement from baby Weston. This past Monday my Dr. ordered a Sonogram because she thinks that I am growing a large baby. 8) Hopefully hes not a 10 pounder, but if he is we'll love him just the same ;) So tomorrow we are headed to the Dr and we get to see the little guy. I will make sure to add new sonogram pics as soon as I can!

Currently I am still working my last day is next Friday I will be starting my 39th week of being pregnant OMGosh I'm already huge as it is hopefully we get to meet Baby Wes soon this is all very exciting can wait to share him with the world.

Our NEW Dining Set

2011-06-22T15:37:00.002-06:00

I have been wanting a new Dining Set for a while now, we have been married for 3.5 years and we haven't purchased a table so I thought that we probably should before this little guy comes other wise we will never get one! I got it at JCPenney's for a steal and we love it!

We currently have the leaf out so its smaller, but this is what the set looks like with all 7 pieces.

Preparing for Baby

2011-06-22T14:43:00.003-06:00

Nick and I live in a one bedroom apartment it is a very nice size at 960 square feet, but I felt that we needed to "Maximize Space" (Word of the month Nick is sick of it lol). I wanted to make sure that everything had its own place and we could find it easily. I made a list of everything that we needed to accomplish and just this past week I got to cross off a ton of things. By the way I love you Nick! He worked so hard at installing shelves and then taking them down (Totally my fault) and then putting them up again, filling holes in the walls after I mark the wrong spot. (It was all my fault I'm pregnant what can I say?)Anyway you get the idea he did alot for me.

I wish I had a before picture to show the impact of the change that was made, but imagine there being only two shelves parallel to each other on opposite walls and 3/4 of the way up the wall. NOW: There are six shelves in the shape of a "U". The top shelf will be for all our baby things including clothes, toys, blankets and all other things baby.

This is our entry closet to the apartment we installed two more additional shelves to store FOOD! I wanted a food pantry to help out with storage in our kitchen and now we definitely have a ton more space in our kitchen for what ever we need for our baby boy! The same day I deep cleaned the Kitchen and reorganized every drawer and cabinet it was so fun, but I felt the pain the next day for sure.

This is the other side to the entry closet: Food and Laundry, Recycling below and dinner trays against the wall. This was so fun to do because it had such a dramatic result.

My BIG Belly

2011-06-22T14:32:00.003-06:00

I have been so busy with work and growing a baby that I haven't had any time to blog. I'm here now though, and boy here I am. My perfectly round belly at the time of this photo at 27 weeks is now very lumpy at 29 weeks with an elbow here a bum there hes getting so big at 2.5 pounds and 16 inches long. Atta Boy!

In the lobby of our Apartment Building there were several people staring :)

Here is another picture of my belly, poorly lit I admit but you get the idea. I'm huge!

I'm very excited to become a mother and meet my little man.

IT'S A BOY!!

2011-04-16T13:13:00.002-06:00

Nick and I have kept a secret... but now its time to tell the world. We are expecting a little bundle of Joy in the form of a baby boy. We are just so excited, and can't wait until he comes. I am due September 8th and am currently 20 weeks along. My last appointment was with a utrasound tech, Nick and I got to see our baby rolling and waiving he would not sit still it was so cute. He is 6.5 inches long and weighs 9 oz so far.

Our boys profile and left arm and belly.

Proof that he is infact a boy :) his gorgeous spine

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

2011-03-26T18:06:00.007-06:00

New York here we come... New years in New York what a dream come true we stayed with some great friends and they showed us the town. We walked everywhere from China Town to the Brooklyn Bridge to Times Square it was so packed and there were so many drunk people it was hilarious. We had the best Chinese food in China Town (Lemon Chicken was to die for). Later we spent the night in Queens. It was definitely a night to remember.

The tolls were outrageous! We paid over 60 bucks from Baltimore to New York!

$8 dollar tolls nuts! WE MADE IT!! All the bright lights! View from Brooklyn Bridge it was so cold up there!

Good ole Mickey D's I love this picture just by looking at this picture you know your in Times Square so fun. (or Vegas lol)

We took the Staten Island Ferry to the Staten Island and on the way we saw the Statue of Liberty is was very surreal!

The Statue of Liberty

Nick and I at the top of Brooklyn Bridge

Grand Central Station it was huge and very impressive with all the drunk people staggering to their destinations.

I love this building the architecture is Amazing!

Our First New York Cab ride! You can't tell but that is me and he just got out of the cab at our friends house in Queens!

Ghosts, Goblins and Ghouls!

2011-03-26T17:06:00.006-06:00

Happy Halloween!!!! Buahaaaaa! What a fun holiday! I don't know if I mentioned that Nick and I are in serving in the Primary and this year the Jones Falls Ward Primary was in charge of the Trunk or Treat. We had different stations that the kids could go to all of the church Nick and I had the room dedicated to Musical Monsters. It was a blast.

Here we are dressed up a Pirates "Ahoy matee"

Nick Explaining the rules to Musical Monsters!

LOL a double

Todd Heap (Baltimore Ravens Tight End) in the black I didn't want to seem like I was a creepy stocker so I snapped the picture when his back was turned lol creepy right. Haha I think his wife saw me though.

The Cutest Couple at the Party! Kristen was 7 months pregnant and she dressed up as a Bun in the Oven and her hubby Aaron was the Bun Maker lol adorable! They now have a beautiful baby boy.

Zombie!

The cutest Ghost!

The party was hopping in the street!

All the trunks were decorated like this or better it was awesome almost everyone had scary music. I think I was the scaredest little girl there! We had so much fun though!

Christmas with the ARBONS!

2011-02-15T15:38:00.004-07:00

This Christmas we jetted off to Blackfoot to surprise the Family! We had Shawn Nicks brother pick us up at 11pm on the Christmas Eve and we headed to black foot with me passed out across the back seat with the boys driving the next 3 and 1/2 . I did feel bad that I fell asleep but I apparently not that much. :) We had a great time with everyone we really needed the company of family for the Holidays and we were glad we got it.

Nick can't wait to get go off this plane we were really crammed in there seeing that it was 11pm Christmas Eve night.

Keira and Maddox playing dress up with all of Keira's new toys she got Christmas morning. They would not stop giggling it was so cute to watch I love these two.

Beautiful Shannon and Eugene digging into Christmas Goodies!

Me holding Baby Jaden only a couple of weeks old he is so precious!

Shawn checking out a new book he just unwrapped and Lovely Becky and Mike waiting patiently for their turns. lol

Fall has come to the East Coast

2010-10-28T08:41:00.005-06:00

Nick and I thought that since his parents were down we would go for a drive sot hey could see the country side and all the fall colors. We were so fortunate to find this area its known as the Washington State Park. George Washington that is. It is very close the Crystal Grottoes which I already posted below, both are located about an hour and a half from Baltimore which is considered the country. We saw some of the cutest small towns I had ever seen. The whole trip was like we very in a movie (Has any one seen practical magic? The town they lived in? It was identical I swear) we had so much fun the whole day was so peaceful and calm.

This is the entrance to the park, we had to drive for about five minutes to get the the parking lot so we could get out and walk to the monument in the center of the Park.

Isn't this idealic?

Erected in Memory of George Wachington, this was the Monument we were hiking to. I didnt get a picture of it but just imagine a huge circular fireplace with stairs that run up the center covered in stone.

This is the veiw from the top of the monument it is overloking several towns below. There are also large lights that light up the structure so the people living below can see the monument at night.

Nick, Rachelle and Jeff the boys however are not posing for my picture. do you think that they are tired of taking pictures?

I on the other hand am never tired of taking pictures :D

Capitals VS Thrashers

2010-10-28T08:26:00.003-06:00

We all got to go a NHL game just this past week it was so much fun. The game was so exciting we got to see several fights the game went into an extented period and I lost my voice what a night we all had a blast. D.C played Atlanta and whopped em 4-3.

opening the game just before the announcer introduced the players

The energy was so crazy and intense at the game you couldn't help screaming and jumping around with everyone.

After the 1st period I made Nick take a picture, this was the only one I got with him smiling :D

our good friend Ovechkin in the penalty box... Again

WE WON YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Nick was soo excited and so was everyone else!

I think we all had a great time!

Crystal Grottoes

2010-10-28T08:09:00.003-06:00

The Crystal Grottoes in Boonesboro Maryland. We nearly missed our stop this little shop was litterally in the middle of nowhere and just off the side of the road. Rachelle (Nicks Mama) and I both thought that it looked very creepy but it turned out to be one of the coolest things we got to do while Nicks parents were up visiting.

This is the outside store and entrance to the caves. The Crystal Grottoes is a beautiful underground cave system the Largest in Maryland, we got to see some pretty cool stuff most of which I cant remember the names to~
This is our 4 man tour Jeff ,Rachelle, Me and Nick it was soo cold down there~

Our Tour Guide he was pretty cool a little strange just very nice :) This was one of the big caverns and a picture of the largest drapery folds in the whole system.

"The Thinker"

"Stone water falls"

This was a really cool part of the tour I just love this picture don't ask me what is in it though!

My Hunky Firefighter!

2010-09-25T20:14:00.002-06:00

I came across these pictures today as I was going through my camera and I thought that I would share just what we experienced on our Independence day.

So this is our home We live at about the middle of the building. For several days now we had been hearing loud booming sounds so loud that it would shake our TV and rattle the windows. I was so scared my heart would stop everytime. We just figured someone was lighting fireworks off of their balcony just above our apartment. Nice HUH?

We'll just after the 4th we heard it again, just outside our window we saw the explosion and a tail of fire racing toward the ground Nick and I race outside to see if it hit anything.... Now just below our apartment we have a car port with an overhang where you can park if its raining or what have you. WEll it was on FIRE!!!!! We realized no one was doing anything so Being the hunky DO-It Yourself guy I know he is My husband Nick ran down stairs, Climed over a neighbors balcony and walking on the roof of the overhang, keep in mind it was on fire and Saved us all by using several pitchers of water to extinguish the roaring flames !!!!!

The after math! Once the real firefighters were done!

Lets Get Started!

2010-09-25T19:27:00.005-06:00

Medieval Times

2010-05-28T18:00:00.005-06:00

Post dinner and tournament I had the worst sneezing fit ever in there dust and hay and did I say Dust... left to right Nick, Me, Sanjay, Sheera, Shannon and Eugene

MEDIEVAL TIMES

What a blast we went here on Shannon and Eugene's last night in Baltimore with Sheera and her BF the food was ridiculous we got half a roasted chicken each, ribs bread and soup. It was very fun iv never done anything like it before. It was more expensive then somethings but it was fun to do once.

So basically what you do is you come inside this castle to purchase your tickets for dinner and the tournament. Then they place you in 1 of 6 sections each section is color coded to a knight. (we were Green the evil guy but a very talented young man)

Snow Storm of the Century

2010-02-22T18:21:00.003-07:00

Ok so I know I haven't updated my blog for several months now so let me catch you up on our new life in Baltimore...

Nick finished his first semester at U of Maryland I am so proud we got all A's, and inpressed his internship enought that they had offered him a job after he graduates.

I got a job at our leasing office which is very convienent seeing that I don't have to commute. Nick freaks when I drive in the City (So do I).

We got to spend Christmas alone here in Maryland, I was sad at first thinking that we wouldnt get the same amount of snow that we usually get but boy was I not sad for long.

View from our Apartment. Overlooking that rest of the complex and part of Towson, MD.

Can you say dangerous?

This was after 2 differnt snow storms 30 inches each!

We Made It!

2009-09-14T18:27:00.005-06:00

We'll we made it to Baltimore safe and sound! So much has happened in the course of the month.We arrived in Maryland after a long 40 hour drive with just ourselves and our poor car, that packed all our belongings. Once we got settled in our Hotel, the apartment hunting began. We spent serveral days looking at apartment after apartment trying to find something that would be close enough to Nick's school and that would also be in a safe neighborhood.
It seemed the harder we looked the less luck we had in finding a place to live. At this time this was when some funny things happened. We decided to go to church on the following Sunday: to as many wards as possible. Thinking this would increase our chances in finding some contacts within the church. We were running a little late to the first meeting that day so we snuck around the back to avoid distracting anyone. Nick and I sat next to this guy that after a time Nick swore he knew. Turns out Nick did know him, Brother Brian Geurts had Nick and his companion over every week for dinner while Nick was on his mission serving in the Washington D.C. To make things even more ironic, Brother Geurts was supposed to be driving that very morning to meet his family on vacation in North Carolina, but unfortunatly his motorcycle had broken down and as a result he attended church and ran in to us.
Brother Geurts and his family invited us to stay at their house for the remainder of our search, they fed us and gave us a place to sleep and it was the best experience for us to receive such kindness and service.
One week later we found a great apartment complex to move into, its called Fairways at Towson. We live in a one bedroom apartment that is bigger than our last apartment which was our only goal. Our apartment is in a highrise building on the eighth floor. We love it. I currently work at our apartment complex which was also a blessing seeing that it is a short elevater ride away. Nick started school 2 weeks ago and has been very busy with his internship and 3 hour long classes. We are having a blast here in Baltimore we love everything about it but we deeply miss our family and friends. We love you and will see you soon.

The lengths Nick will go to!

2009-07-14T17:14:00.003-06:00

Ok we are officially the Ghettoest Apartment in the complex Nick has created an ingenious structure. The night I took this picture was a playoff game between the L.A. Lakers and Orlando Magic a must see mainly be Nick wanted the Magic To win (He Hates the Lakers and So do I). This makeshift tower designed for the reception for our local channels was contructed out of books magazines end tables filing boxes and who know what else. I had to take this!! However we did get to see the game and it came in crystal clear to bad the Magic Lost. :(

Nick Graduated!

2009-04-23T16:31:00.002-06:00

Today was such a fun day, all of Nick's family came and most of mine came to celebrate with us. Thank you everyone for coming and sharing this special day with us. Although it was a long day I think that everyone had a blast. After Nick received his diploma (cover) he headed outside for some pictures and then we left for the party. We seriously had so much food it was awesome it was great thanks to the family. Everyone ate and played pool, the wii and PlayStation. Nick got a couple of presents; a new phone, and the new James Bond on Blue ray to watch on his brand new PlayStation 3 lucky duck and also a 50 inch plasma TV from me that he got about a month ago but it was initially for graduation. Lots of fun. Thanks again for everyone that came and those that didn't we still love you!

Graduation Day

2009-04-23T16:27:00.002-06:00

Baltimore

2009-03-30T10:14:00.008-06:00

Baltimore, Maryland! It's official thats where were headed! We leave the first week of August, 2009. School starts August 31st. Nick and I are so excited to move we will miss every one so much but this is such a great opprotunity for us. Living in a Big City is going to be so fun we are just 3 hours from New York, and right by the ocean and there is going to be so many fun things to do.
I'm not excited for the drive 40 hours in a car all by my self while Nick is driving in front of me in the Penski truck all by him self, we just might go insane.

2009-03-20T11:02:00.002-06:00

Well since I love Nick so much I really wanted to do something for him that will express my love and devotion for him and also honor March Madness (that has completely consumed him...) He is such a hard worker and I'm so proud that hes graduating from college next month. I have decided to dedicate this next months Backgrounds to him. Though I will be limited in choices just know that I am putting forth a conscience effort. Here you go Baby I Love You!

2009-03-17T13:12:00.004-06:00

Guess What? Nick got into University of Maryland! We found out earlier last week and coudn't be more excited. We're still waiting to hear back from University of Washington they emailed Nick a couple of days ago and told him that we should be expecting a letter in the mail this week or next. For those of you who don't know this is our last semester at BYU-Idaho Nick is graduating in a month with his Bachelors of Social Work and we are still trying to figure out were we want to go for Graduate School. But everytiing is looking up so far. We'll let you know when we get the letter from UW soon.

2009-03-08T11:30:00.003-06:00

Well the semester is almost over and we still havent heard back from any schools for Nicks' Graduate Schooling hopefully we will hear very soon so we can start making plans. But both Nick and I are extatic for this semester to be over, no matter what we are moving to a different location when nick graduates in April. Its time to leave Rexburg even though we had great experiences here. Happy Spring

What a month not only was it Christmas and the New Year but we also celebrated my 21st birthday and our anniversary! It was an exciting month for us we have been married for one year now and still going strong. Nick totally surprised me and took me to salt lake City for my birthday, we went to dinner at P.F. Changs and attended a Play at the Hale theater. (The Christmas Carol) it was definitely a memorable birthday.
For Christmas we got to go back to Washington and see the family, although the weather was horrible we made it to and from Washington safely. Nick made out like a fat rat he got an Ipod Video Classic and Guitar Hero with 2 guitars. We also got allot of food storage and emergency preparedness items from my parents, for some reason I got the impression that my mom might be afraid the world is coming to an end.

Well it has been a fun break from school despite all the working, but school starts up next week and we have to get down to business again. Nick is finishing up his applications for Graduate school I don't think it will ever end its such a long process. We're excited to move to a different place soon and be done with school finally.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This month has been a crazy one I've been working like a mad woman and Nick has been going to school, getting ready for graduation. Nick is starting to apply to Grad School for next year. Come May we will be out of Rexburg, Idaho...finally. We are appling to the University of Washington, VCU Virginia Common Wealth, Maryland, and Eastern Washington and probably a few more. Its an exciting time and we are very anxious to figure out where we'll end up.
