Mr. Cash

Anyone that knows me knows that I've had baby fever for at least the last 5 or 6 years. Granted, it's been varying degrees of wanting a baby and just wanting to love on other peoples' babies, but baby fever nonetheless. (My wedding drawing nearer and nearer is not helping either!)

Luckily, my dear friend Cadee was kind enough to give me a regular baby fix since April 16th, when she had her sweet baby boy Cash Ray. He is such a doll! (She always thinks I'm doing her such a huge favor by babysitting- as if I'm not dying to take him every day!) 

He was so tiny when he was first born! Barely over 5 lbs :)

Little dude is getting so big (FAT) now though! My favorites are all the little facial expressions he's starting to make, and his little babbling stories!

BLESSED to have friends that let me occasionally steal their offspring and get my baby fix...

summer summer time!

Wow. Oops. Here I was, in the middle of April, thinking about how I should really keep up on my blog this time, but I just had to get through finals first before I could think of anything else. Annnnnd now it's mid-July. OOPS. 

This summer has been crazy so far. Silly me, I still get stuck on the idea that once summer hits, I'll get less busy. Wrong. My hours at work nearly tripled, so I've been working almost constantly. I'm also taking a summer class for school, so that's another 3 hours a day, 3 days a week. On top of all this, Ty got a new job. Luckily, he loves the job (he's back in a kitchen, which he likes so much better than Jimmy John's). He doubled up and did both jobs for the first 2 months or so, but he recently quit Jimmy John's for good so he can be exclusively at the restaurant. The only (huge) downside to his new job is that his shift is always 3pm until at least 11 or midnight; my shifts are always 7am until 3pm, so when we're both working (which is at least 5 or 6 days a week), I literally never see him. I try to stay positive and remind myself how lucky and blessed we are to both have steady jobs, but there are definitely days where I have to sit and really concentrate to remember when the last time I saw Ty when we were both awake. Again, it's been crazy! 

Luckily, there have been a few weeks where we both had the same two days off, so we've been able to take a few camping trips, as well as a great trip a few weeks ago down to Salt Lake. It's been so fun!
