I paid $16.95 for this

and it was worth every penny.
Poor Jack :(

Single Again

...except that we're married...and have a baby. But we're back in the Singles Ward!! Harrison has been called to serve in the Bishopric of a BYU Singles Ward. We're so excited for this new challenge!! Jack, of course, is the only baby and everyone already loves him. He is flirtin it up with every girl he sees with his new "wave" to say hello. {Video soon to come, I'm sure...}. And I also received a calling in the ward to teach the Temple Prep/Marriage & Courtship Class. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. We're thrilled to spend our time in the BYU 51st ward for the next year.

Playing Catch Up

Here's an update of the happenings with the Smith family:

Halloween:

While Harrison was at a ROTC camp for 3 days Jack and I went up to Oregon (Gma & Gpa P. were missin their grandson) where he brushed up on his piano skills...I just got a new toy called the Cricut Expression. And if you are a scrapbooker, card maker, or if you're like me - a wanna be craft-creater, you'd love it!! It is so addicting!! It has inspired me to make a scrapbook of Jack's first year :)Tomorrow we are off to St. George, and then Vegas to be with the Smiths for Thanksgiving!! And who isn't excited to see this cute little face??

9 Months

I can't believe my little Jack has been out of my tummy as long as he was in it!!
Why does pregnancy go by soooo sloooowly and then when they're here time goes by so quick?!

9 Month Stats:
Weight - 20.5 lbs.
Height - 29 inches

Latest Trick

Wow I have been such a blog-slacker lately. And to my 2 readers, I apologize.

But Jack has discovered something new he can do with his little body, and he is so proud of himself!!



PS - Does anyone else hate hearing their voice on recordings?? And hope they really don't sound like that? No? Just me? Darn.

Boy Bands

I was rummaging through some old stuff of mine that has been stashed away at my parents' house for several years, and I came across an old magazine:

LOVE. IT.

And I also came across this huge poster: And who could forget these guys??

and
Who was (and maybe still is) your favorite??

Before and After

HGTV has gotten the better of me, and I decided to take our entertainment center and do a little home improvement...

Some paint...

New glass in the door...

And new hardware...

Goes a looooong way. I'm just glad it's finally done!!
