Crazy, busy life

I haven't blogged in a while because it has been so crazy, I guess I will start with the most recent events and work my way back. Last week Josh received a promotion at work. I am so proud of him and his hard work, way to go babe! He is the Store Manager of his own store up in Bountiful. There are good and bad things that go with this, the commute isn't so great and we see him less, but the money is nice. We are trying to sell our home to try to move closer , we don't know if we want to buy or not because most likely he will be moved back down to Provo when they open the new East bay Store ... so we will see what happens. The market is the worst to try to sell right now.

The same week he was promoted we had our anniversary , July 7th and Josh's B-day July 12th, so that was crazy also. For our anniversary we went out to dinner and had my parents come over to watch him. It was only the second time ever that we have left him so I was a little concerned about how he would do, but he did great yay! We had a nice evening and it was really nice to get out by ourselves. It's crazy that we've been married two years and have a kid. Strange. I would not trade it for the world though. Then for Josh's Birthday on the 12th we took it easy. Josh got a massage and we went out to eat and went to a movie late at night, Hancock. From what I saw it seemed pretty good but we took Lleyton and he didn't fall asleep until halfway through. It's so weird that Josh is 27! I thought he was 26. The age difference between us didn't phase me at all when we first got married, but the older he gets the more I realize the gap. Anyways I think he had a pretty good Birthday I tried to be a good wife and not nag or be bossy. One thing , I'm sure drives all husbands crazy. Anyways Happy Birthday baby we love you!

A few days before was the 4th of July. Josh had to work in the morning but Lleyton and I went to the parade and he loved it! He waved at everyone and clapped and had lots of fun. Thank you to my cousin Trevor for the ear plugs that really helped. At lunchtime Josh joined us for a BBQ at my parents house. To end the night we planned on doing fireworks but they scared Lleyton and he was tired after a long day so we put him to bed and at some good old fashioned american pie, mmmm.Me, Lleyton and Josh the night of the 4th. Outside before Lleyton got scared.
Lleyton and Josh, they are so goofy. Look at Lleyton's cute little wave.

Right before the 4th we had the opportunity to visit my sister Jessica and her husband Danny and their kiddies. It was also nice to be able to see Sam Josh's brother thanks for the ice cream! Also, Thanks Mom and Dad for flying us out.
Jessica's little baby boy Codan was going to blessed and we are so glad we were able to be there. We had lots of fun swimming at Janny and Trey's and visiting with the family. Thank you for opening your home to us. It was so fun to see everyone! Josh left two days before me and sadly the night he left Lleyton got sick and didn't recover the rest of the trip. He wouldn't eat and for a minute we were afraid we were going to have to take him to the hospital. So I flew home with a sick baby who cried all the way home. Poor little guy. To make matters worse we had to go through like an hour of security because I lost my driver's license. Upon arriving home Lleyton pulled down the alarm clock and caught the corner of his eye, as you can see in the picture below. Anyways that is about the run down with what has been going on with us.

Josh's 2nd time flying on the way back. I can't believe I got a pic before he started crying. Thankfully the lady next to me was so helpful. What a sweetheart she was.
Lleyton's boo boo from the alarm clock.
Lleyton and Mommy on the 4th at the parade he wouldn't look at the cam he was to into the parade.
Look at that sweet little face. He was so content watching on my Dad's lap.
