{My has time gone by}

So I am the worst at updating my blog!  
I really should be kicked out of blogville and stripped of my privileges.
But, here I am trying to make amends.

The past 6 months have been eventful and uneventful all at the same time.
It has been uneventful in the sense that at home all that is going is Jacob going to school and working. There have been some cool things happen with that, like how he is now the Assistant Director for his choir, under the Dean of Performing and Visual Arts. It's been a great experience for him to learn under such a successful musician and amazing person.

Annie has grown so much. She started crawling in February at six months,
and by nine months she was fully walking. 
Let's just say our house has been a complete mess since.
She can feed herself with her hands, and we're working on utensils. 
She knows a few signs for her baby sign language, but she mostly
favors "all done." She does that for everything.
She knows how to differentiate between the words mom and dad, 
and those are what she babbles most often.

One big thing that has happened in our lives is that we sent my 
little brother Tommy on his mission!
He left right after Easter, and he is currently serving in Boise, Idaho.
It is so weird having him so close to us in distance, 
but yet he is so far off in his own world of being a full time missionary.
We were lucky to go down and spend a week with him in March,
and a few days before he dropped him off at the MTC.
We miss him but we're glad to know that he is protected by the prayers 
of member of the Church all over the world

Dropping him off. (He tried to pack Annie and take her with him!)

 Annie and I were able to go down to Corona for a week to visit family recently.
 While we were there we got to swim a lot and go to the beach,
and just spend time with her grandparents and aunts an uncles. 


We are currently getting ready for Jacob to finish off the semester,
me to start my final one in fall,
and, most importantly, Annie's first birthday in a month!
We're so happy and excited for our big girl and are gonna make this 
the best birthday she will ever have with two parties,
one in Rexburg and one in Corona! 

Get ready for us!!!
