Oh, hello spring!

Well, it's officially spring and all the snow is melted and the temperature is slowly starting to get warmer. Although, it may be 53 outside, but once the good ole idaho spring wind gets going it doesn't feel that nice! But we're still happy with anything warmer than 30 and no snow! The semester has come and gone way to fast. Ty has about 2 1/2 weeks left of classes and I have about that long as well until I stop working full time and go back to part time. It blows my mind every semester how fast they come and go. But I'm especially excited for this semester to be over just because my mom gets to come out for a week and it's one more semester down.

Tyson is all done with sports for the semester, he played volleyball basically just for fun. But soccer was/ is always more competitive for him and his team. I love watching him play soccer, because I can tell every time he is in the field he is having fun. Plus I love to be the loud wife on the sidelines pretending I know what I'm talking about! :) I am however excited that indoor soccer is over because I prefer watching them play outside. Mostly because I like knowing my chances of getting pelted with a ball is dramatically slim.

Next semester will be nice for both Ty and I because I only have classes Monday, Wednesday on campus (I'm taking two online classes) and Ty has classes Monday Wednesday Friday, but his Friday class isn't until 2. We both will get off work at noon so we get to spend lots of time enjoying our last bit of just us before Landon makes his appearance in July!

Speaking of Landon, here is a little update on him: I figured out he loves the sound of Tyson's voice. At night when we are laying in bed reading scriptures every time without fail whenever Ty is reading Landon makes the biggest movements. The other night we were watching frozen and, of course singing along, Landon clearly was dancing and enjoying our voices. I looked at my stomach and was amazed with how much he was moving so I told Ty to pause the movie and come look. Once we got quiet he stopped moving, so I told Ty to start talking to him, and sure enough he went crazy after hearing his daddy's voice! No new cravings, and the peaches and Pepsi thing has actually started to wear off!

Since we found out we were pregnant, in the back of my mind I was always a little worried how Thor would take to the new addition. I worried if he would get along with the baby, or just how he would act toward him in general. Mostly because Thor has made his little place in our family and I couldn't stand the thought of him snapping at the baby. Keep in mind when we were training him as a puppy, we pulled on his ears and tail (just as a child would) and put our hands in his food while he was eating and took things from him, so that stuff doesn't bother him. But lately the way he comes and lays by my belly and rests his head on me and just how much sweeter he has become I know he kind of senses  what's going on, and it definitely has comforted me a lot. I now have no doubt he and Landon will at some point become partners in crime.

Even though this kid isn't super big yet (and clearly neither am I) he makes me so very uncomfortable at times. There have been nights were I have been so very frustrated and almost in tears because no matter what I did or how I laid or sat nothing helped. All I really wanted was to lay on my stomach and have Ty rub my back, but obviously that's not an option. I always feel bad when that happens cause I hate complaining to Ty about it. But he has been amazing and does everything he can to help me out. I'm so glad he is so thoughtful and wants to take care of me because I've become more stubborn being pregnant and even when I say no to certain things he makes me do it and usually I'm completely better afterwards! Besides feeling uncomfortable, my feet have started to swell, and it sucks. We went walking the other day and man oh man did my feet feel like super big sausages. But hey, once again another perk of pregnancy.

Well that pretty much sums up what's been going on in our lives recently. Ty turns the big 25 next Sunday so were getting pretty excited about another birthday celebration! We hope we hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and enjoys their week!

Love- Jess, Ty and Landon
