This is our beautiful and gorgeous Ephraim. I'm bananas for him. Man, I love having babies. I'm excited for our family to expand more. He's just begun to smile and giggle and it's too cute. He's also began to realize that he has hands and you can see his little mind working hard to try and control them and try to grasp on to things. One of the pictures shows that really well with his eyes concentrating really hard on his hands. The first three months were really hard trying to adjust to two kids but I feel like I got the hang of things pretty well now. Of course, I do still live right next to my mom so I get quite a bit of help still. I won't be quite on my own until Nathan graduates and we move to Rexburg. Speaking of which, he only has two more quarters before he's done, so he'll graduate by Spring, yea!! He's going to apply this week for BYU-I and we're going to start finding him a whole bunch of scholarships. I read the Dave Ramsey "Total Money Makeover" book and read an inspiring story about a girl who applied for a whole bunch of scholarships and was able to make it through college debt free! So now that has become our goal too. I was able to graduate from CBC just a couple of days before I had Ephraim and both my families were so nice and threw me a little graduation party. Nathan also completed our garden over the summer and we were able to harvest the first fruits of our labor, zucchini and tomatoes. So we've had our fair share of zucchini bread and BLTs. Anyways, life is good.

  1. The boys look so big since I saw them a couple of months ago! I didn't know you guys were planning to move to Rexburg! I hope he gets lots of scholarships, paying on student loans is no fun!
