Fall is coming!

We have had a great week. The weather is beautiful and sunshiny.

I'm so thankful for good friends in life. Cydni Gardner sent me a text out of the blue and it made me so happy!

I've been working hard at de-cluttering and organizing our little apartment and am happy to say that it's about done! Everything now has a spot and it feels so nice! I love when things are organized...now the trick is keeping things in there spot!

The past few months I have been thinking of putting together a file with ensign articles and talks that I know I am going to want to share with my kids/ have as talk reference material later on in life. So far, the best I have is all cap letters saying "TALK ABOUT FOR FAMILY HOME EVENING WHEN KIDS ARE TEENAGERS" or "READ BEFORE KIDS GO ON MISSIONS" highlighted and underlined at the top of the articles, but I know the only way I am going to remember these things is if I make sure to remember them! Well, I was talking to Rob about this and he said that LDS.org already has a spot where I can save and highlight articles and talks and organize them with tabs in my account. Thank goodness for Rob, always one step ahead of me in the technology world :) So, that is a little something I am trying to start collecting.

Blake is as cute as ever. He does funny things all the time. Blake loves to get into Rob's pens/pencil part of his backpack. Yesterday he got into it and carefully went through and picked out all of Rob's mechanical pencils and pulled out all of the erasers with his teeth. Then he put the erasers back in, and did it again.  Rob and I were watching him the whole time and couldn't stop laughing.

Pregnancy is picking up :) I've hit the nausea stage which isn't the most pleasant thing but it's not too terrible. I'm just really picky in what I want to eat (and cook). So far today I have had a piece of bread, granola and yogurt (which did not hit the spot...I didn't even finish it :( ) a banana, a peach, an apple (fruit is so amazing to me right now! It's refreshing and gives me energy), half a cucumber and a baked potato (which has never tasted so yummy!) So, I'm a happy camper right now! I know I can't feel the baby, but today I have definitely been feeling something. It's like little flutters deep in my stomach :)

Rob took is second big Pathology test this week. He is doing great in school. So, we've got to spend quite a bit more time with him since the studying hasn't been so demanding :)

Poor Blake was sick last week. The only way he got any good sleep was in this tilted back butterfly chair. 

I cringe just looking at this picture! Blake and I got home after a R.S. activity and found this guy on the bathroom counter. Of course Rob wasn't home to kill it. It only took me about 30 minutes to get brave enough to capture it. Rob killed it when he got home :) It's my goal to get a little more brave when it comes to spiders. 

It was our turn for baby swap last week. Rob took these four to the park while I stayed home to put baby Audric down for a nap. 

I went in the room for one minute and came out to Mr. Blake prancing around on the kitchen table...yikes! I guess he thought climbing on chairs got a little too easy.
