The new year.

Goodness, Its been awhile. I don't know how you guys that post everyday do it.
Maybe I don't lead that exciting of a life.
Well, Whats new????
I am still in school; only one more year! Yay!!!
I am still working.
Oh!... Teague is walking all by himself now :) its pretty adorable. And he's still as cute as ever.
We spent the new year at my grandmothers. Teague was so sick!!! He had some kind of a stomach bug for nearly two weeks! I felt horrible for him. Not to worry he has gained back all the weight he loss. Ha ha ha...
I am very tired can you tell? There is a struggle going on between sleep and the need that I stay awake right now.

So I think i'l end this blog now, but i'll be back soon to give you a more detailed entry and the happenings of our lives.

What has been going on...Update.

Well it has been a couple months. I apologize. Things have gotten so busy for us over here. I started school August 10th. It is so nice to be back, I love it! It reminds me why I want to go into this industry, being able to create the things our students come up with is priceless and so wonderful. I loooove it! So between school and work, I've got a packed schedule. I say this often, but really I couldn't have asked for a better family. I don't know how I would be getting through all this and be able to do the things I am doing if it wasn't for them. I love you guys so very much and I'm forever thankful for you all.
I have to keep telling myself that the next 14 months will go by in a blur, ha ha. I go to school from 5-10 at night and of course I work the weekends, so sometimes I feel like i am missing out on some fun things. But it'll all be worth it in the end.
Teague is getting so big! its crazy! I can't tell you where this year has gone. You guys I am going to have a 1 year old in 2 months, ahh... I feel like he was just born and that summer was just here. i am having a little bit of a hard time with that fact. He can't be that big yet. He is a master crawler and has figured out ways to get through all the barriers I make for him to keep him in a certain area, ha ha...Its so funny to watch him maneuver and figure it out. I think he'll be walking in no time. I was able to spend Thursday with him(all day) which was so so so nice, I love just hanging out with my little man.

Okay so catching up time:
In September we went to Lake Powell with the family and my friend LaDonn came, it was a blast!!!! I love it down there, it may be one of my favorite places to go period. The stars and moon are so bright at night and the sunsets are to die for. It was nice seeing all the family (we were missing Jonah and Brysen) but it was still nice to see the ones that were able to come. I will post pictures later.
Teague had his 9 month check up and he is still a big boy, ha ha he is in the 90th percentile for his weigh and height. He didn't have to get shots, but he'll have to get them when he is 1 :( poor baby. The doctor said he is doing great and that he is on track with all the milestones. He did tell me I should play patty cake with him more, so he'll start to mimic me. But I don't care because he signs already so I don't think I need to. Plus he isn't into that game. He get annoyed when I tried to play with him.
I am on the design team at school. Which is a blast; its so fun! Plus my Friend Candice is the person in charge of it and she is a hoot to be around always puts a smile on your face.
Halloween is coming up and I was going to have T be a cowboy, but I might change it to a bee and I'll be the bee keeper I was able to get work off.
Jonah's basketball team was down here to play a couple games. He got to play for a few minutes. Poor thing got elbowed in the eye after like the first 30 seconds and he had to get stitches. But it was nice to see him play, his team is so big. I'll be suprised if he gets a lot of playing time since he is a freshmen this year.

well I think that's pretty much all that has been going on. I'll post some pictures of things we've done later.

I hope everyone is doing great and having a fantastic day.

We had a family reunion

Here are some pictures of that. This was the first time Teague went swimming.

He loves his food!!!






POOL TIME!











This was after they went swimming, they just hung out and played with the toys. They were so good! :) I was so proud of my boy, he had so much fun. He wiped himself out.










It was nice to see all the family and visit. Once a year doesn't seem like enough. But it is nice we get to see everyone that much.

Well since its been like 2 months..

Lets see, whats new.
Oh yes, well at the end of June Teague and I went on a trip to Zions Canyon with my dad and Shannon and the rest of the gang. It was so fun! And so very relaxing. I wish I could have weeks like that all the time. To do absolutely nothing. It was marvelous. We went on a hike, it was the Pools hike there (it was stroller friendly) and hung out by the pool; Teague just loves the water. It so cute!!! Brooke and I found out we're quite the nature survivors, ha ha. We got a fire starting all by ourselves, with wet wood, then we made smores. All in all it was a great trip and we had so much fun.

For the 4th of July I took work off so I could spend it with T. We had the family over at my mom's house and had a BBQ. We usually go over to the Riverton fireworks show (the put on a great one) but this year no one really wanted to go that far, so we all Piled up in our cars and headed over to my dad's house (Yeah, kinda funny! the Roybals and Blanchfields together again, ha ha) it was fun we ate dessert and did some of our own fireworks. My dad had these illegal ones that he got years ago. Anyway, we decided to fire some of them. We lite one and it tipped over and all the sudden there was a red wall of fire coming at everyone...It was so Funny!!!! My dad was crackin' up about it the whole night. Needless to say we put those ones away. So we finished doing the fireworks and the watched West Jordan's show( which by the way isn't as good as Riverton's).

On the 18th of July Jessica bought me tickets for The Fray. They were my birthday present. So we went to that. Which was a blast! they put on a good show and sound just as good live.

I think that catches us up to the now. Well, lets talk about T for a minuet :)
He is rolling all over the place, and he scoots backwards, its adorable! He got his two bottom teeth so now you have to watch out when he's putting your fingers in his mouth those little things hurt! He'll be 8 months old in two weeks! Yeah, that's crazy I can not believe how big he has gotten. It freaks me out how fast time has gone by. I'll have a one year old in 4 months...Ahhh!!! All around he is perfect, and great, wonderful and such a blast to hang out with. I could ask for anything better.

I start school on August 10th :( It's a love/hate relationship. I can't wait to get back, I'm super excited to start school. But I do not want to be away from Teague that much. Its going to be so hard for me at first and for him too I'll bet. We're used to spending everyday together day and night. Except for the weekends. I love my family! My dad and Shannon will be watching him a couple days, my aunt Sissy will take him one day, my cousin Tarah will take him one day :) so he can play with his cousin Sawyer, then my mama will continue to watch him for a few days. goodness, I couldn't ask for a better, more supportive family I love you guys so much and can not thank you enough for how much help you give us. I'm so grateful.

So that's whats been going on in our lives and what will be happening soon enough.
