Conference and DONE with work!

We had an awesome conference weekend with my family.  Twice a year in our church, we hear from the leaders in a big conference that is televised throughout the world.  It was so great to hear from them.  It's always so uplifting and makes me want to be a better person.  We stayed at Kim and Darrell's apartment in Beaver Creek and had fun just being together.  A highlight was a trip to a park pretty close to where Kim and Darrell live.

Another highlight was celebrating me finishing work!  My last day was Friday and we got together Saturday.  My sweet sister had a little party waiting for me when we arrived, complete with a couple of balloons, which Jake loved, sparkling grape juice, and a retirement card.  I loved it, and I have loved the past 3 weeks!

Catch Up

I have been SO busy the past couple of months that I haven't found a spare minute to blog.  And now it's been 2 months and I'm feeling overwhelmed, so here's a real big photo dump to get me caught up again.

Jake seriously LOVES the dog.  Those 2 get along so well, and I am so thankful that dog is so good to Jake, because Jake is not necessarily always good to the dog...

He also got his 2nd haircut about a month and a half ago.  By the end he was NOT liking it, but he looks so cute.

Jake has also spent some time with my parents a few different times.  We're really lucky to live only a couple hours away from them!

We also celebrated Andrew, Kim, Darrel, and my birthdays with a trip to Maggianos with my parents and grandparents.  It was fun to spend the evening together, and the food was wonderful, as always.

Jake got a newcarseat now that he's outgrown his infant carseat carrier. Also, he's been spending a lot of time in the dog's bed.

He also played with aunt Kim and was spoiled for Easter from all sides of the family.

Easter weekend, we enjoyed a fun trip to the park where I grew up with my parents and Jake.  He really enjoys the swings, but I think his favorite thing to do is to walk around and look at everything while picking up all the pieces of mulch he can fit in his tiny hands.

And as a most-exciting moment in the history of my exciting moments, I QUIT MY JOB!  I'm officially a stay-at-home mom and couldn't be more excited about it!  Clocking out for the last time seemed so surreal.   Now it has been 2 weeks and I haven't missed working for a second!
