Blog overload

We finally got the internet at our new place in San Diego. So there is a lot to post.
First, we blessed our baby


Mike did an awesome job and it was so fun to have family around before we moved

We moved



My family drove with us. All but Dave and Ashley who had to work. And we were able to do some fun things while they were here. We went to Sea world and Mike and I got season passes which I was pretty excited about, went to Torrey Pines(a famous golf course) mike and my dad and brothers loved it, to a fun little shopping area by the ocean and out to eat. It was so fun having them around.








We have learned some fun things about Dawson over the past month.
He loves taking baths


He wont sleep in any other position. His hands have to be up and out of his blanket. It's so funny.

He is a smiley guy

He is dang cute


If your being too loud he will plug his ears

And he is so cuddly


Overall things are going good with us. We are just trying to adjust to living in San Diego. Mike is liking law school like I knew he would and I am having fun staying home. We are loving our little guy and all the cute things he does. He is so much fun. We are very lucky.

The stork has arrived....

Dawson Michael Jewell was born Sunday afternoon at 4:37. He weighed 7lbs 7oz and is 20in long. The birth went really well I felt way lucky and everything seems to be continuing to go well. We are so lucky to have our families close to help out with things. They have been great. For now we are just loving our little guy...updates to come.

Baby shower

So, my mom, sister and sister in law had a baby shower for me. I got some way good stuff from my family and it was so fun and cute. Apparently I am terrible at taking pictures of actual people but at least you can see how cute it turned out.








We also stripped and re-painted a dresser and desk for the babies room. They were a lot of work but turned out pretty cute I think. Oh and yes we are naming him Dawson.














The countdown begins...Well, I have been counting down for a while now but we are officially to 10 days. Holy cow that is kind of scary.

Last weekend my friends had a shower for me. It was a lot of fun and exciting to get things for the baby. I should have taken more pictures. The decorations were so cute.


I am looking extra chubby lately but haven't posted any belly shots so... also, note the awkwardness of these photos. Yikes.
7 months

8 months


On father's day we went to the Jewell's for lunch. We walked down to the pasture and brought the horses back to the house. Fun afternoon walk.



Later we went to my parents for dinner and some games. It was a very fun father's day. I always love spending time with our families.

Memorial Weekend

We had such a fun weekend. On Friday my brother got married. I was lame and forgot to take my camera. My sister gave me a few of her pictures but unfortunately none of Riley and Ashley. She looked so pretty and Riley was handsome. It was such a good day, here's a picture from when they were dating.

We went and saw the second Night at the Museum after the reception with my sister and her husband that night. It was really cute. Saturday we just hung out and got some things done. Sunday we went up to Bear Lake to spend the day with Mike's family.

Yesterday we went to Hogle Zoo. I guess we are such kids cause we love the zoo. It was such a nice day and it was really fun.




After the zoo Mike golfed at Bonneville golf course, I attempted but wasn't too successful, we had a Bbq with my family later, and went bowling with Dave and Hayley. It was such a fun weekend we were spoiled and had a hard time going back to work today.
