Well, looks as if we are making it back to Utah. YAHOO!!!! Matt just took a drug test for a job at L.W. Miller...And usually when you get to the point of drug testing, then you pretty much have the job (unless he doesn't pass, then he'll have some explaining to do) ;) ....We don't know where we are going to live yet, but we have my parents house to stay at till we find a place. But I know both Grandma's are very excited to have Ridge back home with them again.
I have my next doctors appointment at the end of next week, so hopefully baby isn't to shy, and we will be able to see the gender of Baby #2. But as for the pregnancy, up to this point, things have been good. Luckily I'm not hardly sit. Some days my stomach hurts a bit, but that is to be expected with a human being growing inside of it.
My little man is still growing up way to fast. He is now 13 1/2 months old. And a busy body. He doesn't know how to sit still! But that's what makes him so much fun. We went to Wendy's today to get us a hamburger. Matt and I were very impressed with him. He was dipping his fries in the ketchup and eating it, and didn't really even make a mess. Kept himself pretty clean. We were surprised that a one year old could be so clean about it.
I will try to keep updated on things going on the next couple weeks. But can't promise with packing and moving and trying to figure things out. Hope all is well with all of you out there!

Ridge's birthday party was so fun. He has so many people that love him, and came to celebrate this big day with him. He was overwhelmed by the attention he was getting (he must get that from the Stimpson side of the family). We had so many family and friends there. It was very nice. Thank you all that attended. And thank you Mom for letting us take over your house for a few hours.
Ridge's love Mickey Mouse. We watch Mickey Mouse Club House nearly every morning. There are alot of other morning Disney Show's he loves. But Mickey is by far the favorite. So it made it very easy to find a theme. :)
We were in Utah for the party, but had to come home that night, so Matt could go to work the next day. It was a LONG drive, with a tired boy. He slept for part of it, but it was snowing and REALLY windy, so it took us 2 1/2 to 3 hours to get home. He was not liking that. But we made it safe, and that's what really matters. We got home at nearly 10:30, but still took time to open all the presents and play with them for a bit till bed time. We had toys EVERYWHERE! :) We had so much fun playing though.
As for everything else, things are good. Just taking one day at a time, all we can do. I just found out I have a reason to go back to Utah for a weekend again. So that makes me happy. My niece is getting baptized. Man time flies! Matt is still hanging in there with learning things at his new job. I've tried looking for a job that I can bring Ridge with me, but that isn't working out for us yet. I have a few stay at home jobs I could do, but I don't know anyone to try and sell things to (Homemade Gourmet, Scency, a few jobs like that) Which is another reason why moving back to Utah would benefit us. I'd know people to be able to throw parties. But we're trying to learn patients in trying to figure out what God has planned for us.
Hope all is well with all my friends out there! :)

Is this all for ME?
Checkin himself out, before bathing to get the cake off. :)

Mickey Mouse is his favorite! We watch him every morning
At home, playing with all the new toys...So much fun!

He got so many toys! So Spoiled! :)

OK....As many of you already know, I am pregnant AGAIN! Matt is thrilled about it, but it is still trying to sink in with me. The idea of being pregnant while taking care of a 1 year old, and then having a new born, while taking care of a 19 month old is a little overwhelming. Especially since I live 120 miles from home now. It'll be a blast to watch Ridge, and his sibling, grow up together, so close in age. But to be honest, it's that 1st year of new baby's life that I'm having a hard time thinking about. I just now got my one-on-one time with Ridge, and it has been so nice. All I can say is God knows what he's doing here, and so I am going into it with faith. Not that I'm not excited to bring another one of God's children into this earth, just still overwhelmed with the idea of it.
I can't really say whether or not I like Pocatello yet. Haven't really been out much to have an opinion. I've been back home every other weekend since we've been here, and its not like I know anyone or anything here yet to get me out much. The few nice days we've had so far, Ridge and I have been outside playing, whether in our little yard or to one of the parks close by. Ridge loves being outside, but its still a bit chilly to be out all the time.
Matt is adjusting to the new job. I haven't decided if he likes it here yet or not. I do know that 'Mr. Social' does like having it be a smaller town with not to many people here. :)
...Its all in God's hands, and I do need to remind myself of that daily lately. But all in all, life is great. I have an amazing husband and son, and we all have good health. Really, what more can we ask for. :)

So...It's been ages since I got on here, sorry to those of you who try to follow. We are now moved to Pocatello Idaho. And its not TO bad, just is to far from my family for my liking. I am enjoying mine and Ridge's time together though. And Matt seems to be figuring out his new job alright. I will be looking for a stay at home job or at a day care (or somewhere I can take Ridge with me). Since Matt works anywhere from 8 to 12 hour work days, it makes it hard for me to try to find a job that would work around his schedule. Although I did see a sign down the street that they were hiring for dancers, I'm sure they'd let me come to work late nights....Ha ha ha. I had my mom, sister and brother come visit me yesterday, to take me shopping for my birthday. So that was fun to have them up for a bit. And I know Ridge liked having someone else around, other then just mom and dad. In a few weeks, my little man will be a year old. Where has the time gone??? We've had alot on our plate lately, but we've worked through it great. I have a wonderful husband who helps me day to day, and I love him dearly for it. I have Ridge that keeps me laughing, always. I have the Lord in my life to comfort and direct me, although some things may be hard to understand. He does have a reason behind EVERYTHING. I've had some great chats with dear friends lately. All and all, life is great!

Dang, I'm horrible at keeping up on this thing. Good thing I don't have to many Followers :) .... but guess I don't have much to write as of now. My amazing Little man is still growing like crazy. He just turned 9 months and weighs 22 lbs. Can you say healthy!? He's solid to, makes it hard to hold him for long. I should be getting toned arms for it, but I'm not! Matthew is still on the search for a job, but he and Ridge are getting closer every day. It's fun to watch them together. As for me, still stuck at the same old job, and look forward to 4:30 every day, when I can come home to my wonderful men, at home waiting for me (Matt and Ridge-if you didn't catch onto that) :) .....well, gotta go.....................................
