In the words of Whitney Houston...

I'M EVERY WOMAN!

That is how I feel at the present moment anyway!

I feel pulled in so many direction and have so many people relying on me...I'm thin as paper (unfortunately not physically).

I have been trying to find a new place to live up north, because we are moving at the end of August...

In the past week I accepted a promotion, which is in Bountiful. So, I have been commuting there just about everyday. They have not filled my old position so basically I am running a Day Program for 66 individuals who are developmentally disabled and managing the staff there (my old job) and running a residential facility for 12 people with disabilities and managing the staff there (the new job).

The lady who had my old job destroyed the office and basically any system of organization that ever existed there...so the past couple of days I have been going through PILES AND PILES of papers!!! I'm pretty sure she never filed one thing as long as she worked there!

On one hand this is VERY VERY frustrating and on the other I love it because I LOVE ORGANIZING!!! :) (I know sick! :))

I am trying to raise a 4 month (on Thursday) old.

Take care of my sweet husband and have a life with him.

And be the camp director for our ward, which is next week.

I am physically exhausted just writing all that stuff!!!

Something had to eventually give and that was the camp director calling...the young women's president saw that it was KILLING me and basically delegated ALL my responsibilities. So, I have tried to help here and there but I feel like an utter failure at my calling.

This past could of weeks has just been exhausting and it won't stop for a couple more!!!

Brain Fart!

HELP!!!!

I need to do Wes' scrapbook but every time I sit down to do it I have a brain fart and can not think of how I want to start it. It is so permanent and I want it to look good.

ANY SUGGESTIONS????

Loss of Reality!

This is the conversation that took place approximately 5:45 am, just after my alarm went off Friday morning:

Nici: (rolls over and wakes Ryan up) "Go over there and answer those questions about Glee!"

Ryan: (just waking up) "WHAT?!?"

Nici: "Over to the left, go over there and answer the questions about Glee."

Ryan: (obviously more with it than I am) "I think you're not awake."

Nici: (Getting upset!!!) "NO, YOU"RE NOT AWAKE!!!!"

END OF SCENE

Later that day when Ryan reminded me of this conversation I had completely forgotten about it. But, as he told me about it, it all started coming back to me and the feelings I felt that went along with it. I remember feeling that I was making complete sense and the fact that he wasn't just doing what I asked made him the crazy one not me!!!!! :)

This whole thing was too funny and conversations like this one (half asleep) happen way too often at our house! :)

Oh the stories we could tell...

The BEST Time...

Isn't Bath Time the BEST time?

It might not look like it in this picture but Wes loves the bath. He loves to float (ASSISTED) in the water and kick his arms and legs. It's so cute...he is always very vocal when does it too. :)

Drying off couldn't be any cuter! :)

4th of July JONES STYLE!!!
We want to go camping so bad but don't have a tent that will fit all of us yet so we improvised...We set up camp in our living room! Not quite the same as the great out doors!

We also walked up the side of the mountain and found a spot to watch fireworks across the valley and the Stadium of Fire. It was pretty cool!

Then on Monday we Dutch Ovened (that's a verb! :)) Lasagna with some friends and family...yummiest lasagna EVER!!! :)

Over all it was a great weekend and we didn't have to work. Yea!

Tell Me When You've Had Enough!

Because after 3 MONTHS I have no way near had enough!!! So, I will continue to post the most adorable pictures of this cute little guy! :)

The other day Wes hit his 3 month mark! I can't believe that we have had him longer than we waited for him! Kind of funny! :)

I can tell that this Monkey is going to take a beating throughout the next 9 months as he gets his pictures taken! Already Wes is trying to eat him! :)

He has started to sit in his Bumbo! He really likes it. He will sit in it while I cook, work on the computer, and he will even sit and watch TV (it's pretty hilarious!). He is so stinkin' cute when he's sitting up like a big boy...it kills me!

Here are some things about Wes at 3 MONTHS old...

• He can focus on things that are far away...like faces, the TV, and lights.
• He has started to hold onto things like toys and blankets.
• He can sleep though the night if he is fed after 9pm. The other night he ate at 8pm went to bed and we actually had to wake him up at 7:00am to go to my moms house to be baby sat. He slept through the ride and eventually ate again about 8:30 am!
• He still sleeps a ton at night and many naps in the day time.
• He eats 6 oz. about every 4-6 hours.
• He has been to several movies: The back-up plan (I had to get out of the house), The Karate Kid, Toy Story 3, The Joseph Smith movie, and Knight and Day. He was exceptional at all of them except Toy Story where I had to stand up with him the first 10 minutes of the movie! :)
• He smiles ALL THE TIME at anyone who will give him the time of day.
• He thinks 3 hours of church is just a little TOO LONG!
• He goes to the sitters 3 days a week. (This makes me want to CRY!)
• I think he wants to laugh...it sounds like he tries but nothing more than a grunt comes out.
• He is getting out of his phase where he HATES to be in the car. Thank goodness! :)
• And he can't wait to go on his first camping trip this summer...and we can't wait to take him! :)

He has just been the best baby and filled our lives with so much joy!

We love him so much!
