Just wanted you all to know that baby Justin weighs 10lbs 15 oz. What a good little eater. The doctor told me that was in the 50th percentile for weight, right where he should be! Here are a few pictures I took yesterday that I thought I would share. Justin is a very happy boy tonight. He and daddy were jammin' out to Big and Rich. Justin loves them. He was very content listening to the music and even gave us a few little smiles when daddy was helping him 'get down' to the music. I should have taken a picture of that..but even I can miss a good photo op! Next time...

Goodnight everyone!

Bedtime Pics!




Justin was having a little 'boppy time' tonight on his boppy pillow (that we just discovered he may like). It helps him to hold himself up, which he is always trying to do anyway. He is a little fussy tonight..which is why we tend to call him fussy Jussy after about 9:00 pm. It's terrible-he will probably be scarred from all of the nicknames we give him. I will try to keep from calling him that when he gets older!

Aaron and I had a good weekend. Yesterday Aaron picked up all the materials he will need to begin working on our basement and loaded them in the house. He was pretty much busy with that all day and Justin and I hung out with the kiddos of his friend Nick who was helping him. I actually chased around a 20 month old all day..but whatever. They got everything loaded in, so that's good. Today my friend Catrina and I went to Fort Collins and had a day of lunch and shopping. It was great and it must have been 75 degrees. It was beautiful! Aaron and Justin hung around the house and relaxed for the most part.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. It's time to start another week! One week closer to coming home to Montana to see our friends and family!!

Happy Friday :)


Hello! I just wanted to post a few pictures that we took today. Look at how sweet Justin is laying with his daddy...

All is well in Cheyenne, and the weather has been really nice here lately. Justin and I have been getting outside more. Justin doesn't like his stroller (which does not surprise me) but it's good for him and I to get some sunshine and fresh air. I am hoping that just like with everything else, he will learn to love it!

We are gearing up for a weekend of home improvement. Aaron is moving forward on the basement and is headed out early to get his materials. I don't have anything special planned, just a workout sometime during the day tomorrow and Sunday-and god willing-a nap. Have a great weekend everyone!

Here is phase one of our basement remodel. I took out part of the stairway to open it up. Not much to look at but it sure will make getting everything downstairs a lot easier. It only took a few hours and makes the basement more inviting. I have been consumed by shopping around for materials to finish the basement and have been able to save hundreds by comparison shopping. I will be starting the additional egress window in the next month or so, before I double up on my masters classes. All is well here in Wyoming and I am looking forward to the NCAA Tourney, GO DUKE! ~AJ

Here is a picture of Justin doing what he does best lately, trying to hold that head up! He is getting very good at it and is much less 'wobbly'. Can you believe he is 6 weeks old? My gosh!

Here is a few new pictures. As you can see 'the boys' were lounging around on the couch last night after we got home. One of Aaron's co-workers had a get together out at their place, so we went out there for a little while and had some food and drinks. Justin was able to meet many new people and be passed around and held all night (which he loved). We had a great time. Aaron stayed up with Justin last night while I slept...wonderfully might I add. I woke up with Justin about 7 and am going to let Aaron sleep in as long as he wants to. When he gets up I think I will head out and run some errands. We really don't have any big plans for the rest of the weekend. Aaron is working on getting some bids together to finish our basement. We told ourselves that it was our '5 year project'...yeah right. We have no patience, and now that we are done with the upstairs we are really anxious to start working on the downstairs. Aaron and I can never wait to do anything. It's always 'right now'! We're hoping for a nice day today (looks like it will be) so that we can take the dogs and Justin out on a walk. We are dog sitting for a friend this weekend, but they come back home this evening. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Here is a picture of Justin getting ready for bed. I make it sound like he just gets his jammies on and it's time for bed! Right! Someday. Goodnight everyone!!

About Me

My photo
Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States
Aaron and I met while attending college @ Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. We got married in 2006 after dating for a few years. In 2007, we moved to Cheyenne because I was offered a great job with the state. We bought a house in August of 2008, and we just welcomed our first baby on Feb 1st of 2009! What a whirlwind it has been...
