My little man

Lately the Rush Man has been sooo much fun. He is learning so much. I love watching him put toys in buckets, or anything that will hold them. I love when he gets all of my cooking utensils out of the drawer. I love how he thinks he is hilarious when he hits himself in the head. I love how he crawls away as fast as he can when I say "I am going to get you!". I love that he is taking 1 really long nap and sleeping all night! (finally) I love how he cuddles with his soft sheep. I love watching him play with my volleyball, trying to throw and roll it all around the room. I love watching him try and figure out how to get from one place to the next while standing. (small attempts at walking.) I love listening to him blabber. I love how he thinks its funny to clear the bookshelf of books, and after I get after him he will turn and look to see if I am watching him attempt the destruction again. I love how he fake coughs to get my attention. I love that as soon as he hears the water turn on for his bath the excitement he gets makes it nearly impossible to get him undressed. I love that he is starting to feed himself like a big boy. I love most that he loves me. I feel like he really knows me and chooses me over anyone. (we will see if it stands when we grandma bett in a few days!)

 I love being a mom to my sweet, yet naughty little boy.

Be-bap-de-do

I have been brightening up the black and brown living room we used to live in. Promise you will like it. You also might think that it was something you wished you had in your bedroom when you were 15. but seriously it's cute.

Also I wake up with a headache everyday. Can someone please help me?

Online classes so far have been yuck. I ended up having to start 2 of my classes 3 days late, and another on like 5 days late. So I have been playing catch up, with out a book. In one. shoot me. But I think I got it all figured out. I feel like we are still running around like crazy still. T's schedule is crazy, and we have to drive to Farmington like every day. Oh well we are happy doing what we are doing. I am glad I get to tell people I am a student.

The hubs and I miss grass, and rain, and pretty things that AZ had to offer. We live in the ugliest part of Kirtland though. Just behind us down on the Old high way it is much prettier. We have driving to the church and walking around the neighborhoods their. It is much prettier. There are old houses, ivy, and running water. Rush loves it too! T and I will walk buy houses and comment on what we like about it (He has become much more observant about old houses and such since he married me :)) and we dream up our perfect yard! The other night we were walking and we were just happy, and it felt like home.

Rush has been falling asleep in the funniest positions. He fell asleep in his bouncer, and while we were on our walk sitting straight up. I love that little boy! He is learning to do so much, and it is so fun watching him!

Thats all for now. It's almost labor day and we will be headed to Snowflake, I can't wait to see my momma.

Pardon me.

This is my attempt at blogging. It's going to be just above fail because this time I will post what I actually type.

I think we have been busy, I feel like we have been.

Rush is the cutest little dude. He smiles giggles laughs eats and melts my heart all the time. His one little shinny tooth is my favorite. He loves playing with his toys and I love watching him learn and figure things out.

We go back to New Mexico Wednesday. I start classes Monday the 20th. I am going back to school (fight back nausea). I am scared, and excited. Don't worry I bought a back pack I should be fine. Me Dora and backpack.

T is amazing. I love that I have my best friend all the time. It's my favorite about being married. I have read like 2 hours worth of my chick book to him and he loves it. For some reason I love reading to him. (weird)

Anyway I want to do better. I won't promise. But this won't be the last you hear of me.

Enjoy the picture feast.

Bless you all

we meet again.

I had once imagined that where I am at in my life right now, would be much different. I imagined after having my first baby I would be in a tiny house in Snowflake. I imagined visiting my mom often and her coming to pick us up for a drive. I imagined seeing my sisters nearly every day. Until August 2011 that was probably going to be the case. Jord and I were talking about how much we didn't have going for us the first 10 months of our marriage. We had no idea what we wanted to do. It seemed like we were content with being Days Inn employees. A week ago on our drive home I thought how weird it was I was 'going home'. I have always been home. It isn't easy being here, but it's not hard either. I love what we are doing, but I will be excited for it to be over.

Picture time... I have a lot of em.

Blessing day!

 Rush and Olivia they are 5 weeks apart (i think)

 Grandpa has finally figured out Rush is a boy and he seems to really love him! I love this picture!

We played dress up at Great Grandpa's house!

Valentines Day!

Last but no least... I made this skirt! Inspired by pinterest. I learned a lot, and I now need to find new fabric. I have used this for my baby's room, and a car seat cover... Where do you get cheap material??

Sorry I haven't been blogged. I have been busy staring at the most amazing thing I have ever known... My little boy.
 I had been thinking I was glad to know when I was going to be induced because there would be no surprises. Well do you know how hard it is to sleep the night before you bring a baby into the world. It's hard. The hubs and I went on a date Friday night before we went in. We both were anxious/nervous it helped pass the time. I think I got 3 hours of sleep, I was so excited for 5:00 am to come around so I could wake up.

 We checked into the hospital at 6:45. A couple questions. One ugly (yet comfortable) gown. Two little straps on my tummy. and a little tiny pill later I was having contractions. By noon they were coming strong yet inconsistant. They never were consistant though. Around 1 I was asking for the amazing thing called an epidural. Of course the CRNA was busy so the sweet nurse put some pain reliever in my IV. My mom, dad, and T were all laughing at me. In my mind I was thinking quit saying stupid things, but they just fell out like word vomit. I got the epidural around 2 and completely enjoyed myself. Around 4 I was at an 8, and 5 my nurse came in and said I was at a 10! They wanted me to wait awhile to push.

   The room was prepped the dads left. Mom and Deb and niece Brooke stayed in with us to video. I started getting pretty emotional as the time came. I think I was more nervous then anything. T stood right by my side. I remember him rubbing my leg, and smiling a lot. My contractions were getting farther apart, so we had to wait a while to push. I think on the 2 set of pushes Dr Dewitt gave rush a Mohawk, and a come over. Jord found that pretty funny. Just before the 3rd contraction came the nurse said that his heart rate was really low. Dr. DeWitt  looked at me and said you have to get him out this one. I kinda panicked a little. We got a new nurse right in between and she was awesome. Pretty sure she helped me get our baby here when I was supposed to. And luckily we got him here!

 The best moment was looking up at T and he had tears in his eyes. I don't think I ever had seen him cry before, and what I fitting time it was.

I had been fantasizing about the moment they would put my baby on my chest. I couldn't wait to look into his eyes and realize he was mine. I love this picture because it describes that moment so well. Proud, exhausted, happy, and in love.

 Dr. Dewitt acted surprised to see an 8 lb 5 oz 22 inch baby come out! I think everyone was.
I like this picture too because he totally does this all the time now.

 Funny that I was always worried about how this picture would look. I was afraid my chubby cheeks or smeared make-up would make me hate it later. but nope. It's perfect too.

 Grandma Bett... She thinks she wants to be called GB

 Uncle Jo Jo. He practically ran into the delivery room after they were given the go ahead.

 We got taken down the the 3rd floor around nine. I was exhausted, and numb and uncomfortable. My mom and dad had just left, and T walked up to me and kissed me on the forehead and said I am so proud of you. You are so strong. I love you. Just the three of us. It was such a special moment.

 So proud!

 Leaving the hospital.

 And of course the first bath. Screaming and all.

I didn't know how crazy it would be to try and take care of a baby, and recover. I didn't know how completely exhausting, yet completely full filling it is. I am so in love with this little baby, and his dad. It's been a wonderful 5 days! He is now hungry. and even though my boosm is not looking forward to it, I am cause I love starting at my little Rush Man. I would hope you all have a better day then mine, but I doubt you will.

Love,

T Jordan, Tiffany and T Rush
