Events and accomplishments

Hellloooo.....So it's been a while since I've posted anything, so I am here to remedy that. July passed with me being sick with one thing or another, not fun. About 2 weeks ago Shalum and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. I can't believe we've been married 9 years already! And man was I spoiled! Shalum got me 3 charms for my bracelet that he and Jared got me for Mother's Day (and they aren't cheap) and he got me a really nice ipod that holds like a gazillion songs. It makes me so happy.... Of course Shalum makes me happy too, but I do love my ipod. :) 

Other things that have happened, my nephew, Tallin, came home from his mission! Happened to come home the night of our anniversary. It was so exciting to see him! Seeing him come into the airport was just the best sight. Everyone started cheering when we saw him, which scared Jared, and for the rest of the time at the airport he was crying and pouting. Poor little guy. And my niece, Kami, turned 8 and was baptized. What was even better about that was that Tallin was home to be there for it! When we were out at the Church's house after Tallin's homecoming talk, Hyrum told me that Jared has ears like him. And if you know Hyrum and his ears then you know what a GOOD thing this is! I LOVE Bummy's ears! Jax does have big ears like Bummy's but they don't stick out like his, which is something that I absolutely adore about Bummy's ears. I love all my nieces and nephews and could probably go on and on about them, but since I have so many and it can quite literally take forever, I'll just move along to other things that have taken place within my own little family. 

Jared turned 9 months old a few days ago and has made a few accomplishments. He can now:

-army crawl
-babbles a lot (he has gotten quite vocal this past week)
-climb stairs
-pull himself up onto his feet
-and remove his very own diaper

I can't say I'm all that thrilled about the diaper part, but since then I've put him in shorts or a onesie so this cannot happen again. Well that's about it for now. I'll try not to stay away so long next time.
