April

Stephen and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year. 5 years of marriage has blessed us with a beautiful one month old and almost 3 year old. When we were first married we lived in a tiny green house right in front of the Logan Utah temple and it was incredible. We had to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom, the shower was barely big enough for one, and we had I think 5 fish. That first summer married and the summer before when we had just met still top being my favorite summers ever. After just being married for four months we started our first major adventure and moved out of the country for a year and a half to the Caribbean island Dominica. That was such an incredible once in a lifetime and only want to do once in a lifetime experience. Then we started our family in Atlanta where Everett was born. Atlanta will always have a very special place in my heart. I still miss it so much. We survived medical school and now Stephen is half way finished with his second year of residency. We are loving living in North Carolina and love our beautiful family.
Nana came for a couple weeks in April to help with the kids. She is such a blessing in my life with how much she helps and cares for us. I took Everett and Nathan to a touch a truck event at the mall all by myself. My first solo trip with the boys. Besides that we just spent the month soaking up every second of perfect newborn bliss.


















































Nathan: 1 Month

Nathan's one month check up.
You were looking pretty yellow and tested positive for breast milk jaundice. I didn't even know that was a thing so you went on formula for 24 hours and it cleared right up.
You are 21 1/2 inches long and 10 pounds 3 ounces.
Our perfect little bubba baby.

Strawberry Picking

We went strawberry picking for the first time this year. They were delicious. I got so excited I wanted to go again and make homemade ice cream and freezer jam. Life with a newborn and toddler doesn't allow a lot of spur of the moment strawberry picking so we only ended up going the one time. We still made freezer jam and homemade ice cream but with Sams Club strawberries. 














Family of Four

Our first family pictures taken when Nathan was about one and a half weeks new. Thankfully my mom was visiting and was able to take a few pictures of us with her phone. I love that Nathan is almost always smiling in pictures. He is such a happy little baby.
