We got the most exciting phone call this morning from Luke. Natalie went into the hospital early this morning. We went to church and tried to pass the time quickly, but I was going crazy the whole time!!! My parents came up around 9:30 a.m. and waited at the hospital for most of they day. We joined them around 3:30 p.m. and played SkipBo and 7-up in the waiting room. We hadn't heard anything so we finally asked a nurse at about 5 p.m. She couldn't tell us anything but Luke came out and told us that he was a proud new father!!!! Daxton Luke Nesbit was born around 4:45 p.m., weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long. He has cute black curly hair. Luke says he's a crier and good eater. He's so precious. Because of the stupid swine flu they only let one visitor in, which got to be my mom. She got to hold him and the rest of us got to see him through a window for a few minutes. I already love him so much! We're so glad he's healthy and doing so well and Natalie is also doing great. I still haven't seen her, which is also killing me. I think they're both pretty tired, but so thrilled. I love how happy Luke is!
We embarked on a crazy adventure last night. Equipped with flashlights, jackets, and my fear of the dark we commenced our hike to the wind caves at 11:30 p.m. We were only paralyzed a few times by animal encounters, one time being when Tyler and I found a bat in the cave. The stars were amazing and even though we couldn't really see our surroundings, it felt beautiful to be there in the dark. We shared lot of stories and laughs and sore feet. None of us brought water so everyone, expect for smart Tyler, drank from a flowing stream which we later found a real bone in. I'm happy to report we are all still alive...I think. There's something so exhilarating about laying under the stars, being there with my husband and other great company, and staying out until 3:30 in the morning.
Recently I've had a really strong desire to decorate our living room. I've been thinking almost non-stop about it for about a few weeks and have mulled over different ideas. Some color schemes seem cool but just don't fit our personalizes or our "style". But after watching Oprah today and then reading some of Designer Nate's ideas online, I struck a brilliant chord! He said to incorporate what you love into your house. Brilliant! I looked online a little more and put all my ideas together. I think if we can make it all happen our living room is going to be rockin'! Keep in mind that we're still not millionaires so we're trying to keep this as low budget as possible. Lucky for us, Tyler has mad upholstering skills so we have a lot more options. Here is the beginning of our vision. I hope we can get these chairs and make it all happen. I'll keep you (2 readers) posted about the final project. For now, be excited!
Most of you know that my parents host a "non-party" every year on July 24th. Well this year we went down early to enjoy the whole day. I had so much fun just relaxing and hanging out with the family. I think you really appreciate family more and more the older you get.
The morning started off with a great breakfast, washing the cars, then a long game of Crockett. We never did make it to the park to get scones but it was such a great day. And I had to post some picture from the day. The last one is my favorite.
I think Travis was having a blast! Can you tell?
Oh yes, Dad loves Hawaiian Fridays at work. (I think he started them)
Oh I just noticed that I think Tyler's trying to poke my head with his Crockett stick. Do you like how all the couples are kinda matching? That usually ends up happening.
We tried to do a jumping one. I just love my family!
So two weeks ago now we went to Rupert, Idaho for the Adams Family Reunion. What a blast! It was so fun to relax and be with family and just enjoy the sun and water. Here's the ranch we stayed at.
It's right on this beautiful river where we got to wakeboard and kayak and canoe and swim. This water slide was a blast!
There were different crafts during the week. I painted this watercolor picture.
And Tyler made these animals. Who knew he was a Playdoh master!
On the 4th we did a few fireworks. I love this picture of my dad. It explains his excitement for lighting firework perfectly!
Mc Kynlee rode down the water slide with me a few times and was my best friend for the rest of the weekend. Such a doll!
And it was so fun to have Tyler there. At the last reunion we had just started dating and he was on a family trip in Florida.
When we got married my aunt Nancy gave Natalie some money so she could buy us groceries to put in our house. It was nice to come home to a house with milk and bread and eggs and some food to eat.
One of things Natalie picked out was this Razzleberry pie. It's been in our freezer since last August. It's lived in both apartments with us. It's kinda just always been that constant item in the freezer that you overlook. I was worried it would be too old to eat, but when pulling it out of the freezer tonight, we found it didn't expire until May 2010. Kinda makes me wonder how many preservatives are in it, hmm.... But we finally cooked it and ate it and loved it.
This blog seems to have turned into a travel log of our adventures with our small apartment and our crazy cars and everything that comes along with being newly married, going to school, and being poor! But we wouldn't trade it for the world. We LOVE being married and still find so much joy in every day of it.
