2 of my favorite things... food and pedicures!

Last week was my sister-in-law Krista's birthday and that day marks the start of a new tradition for birthdays. We all went to lunch and got pedicures. It was so fun that we decided we NEEDED to do it for every birthday! Yay! I'm so glad that I am guaranteed a pedicure and good company of course almost every month of the year! P.s. Glitter toes are awesome, if you haven't tried them yet you should

I've been meaning to post these pictures for awhile. They have nothing to do with food or pedicures but they are fun pictures. Not last week but the week before we put Boston in the lake for the first time. I was a little hesitant to do this, not because it was cold, not because I thought he would drown or cry but because we were at Utah lake where you can't see through the water AT ALL, where your spray is often times BRIGHT GREEN, and you have to shut your eyes and close your mouth when you jump in. You might be wondering why we even go there... it's just because it is close and warm. :) Anyway, he LOVED it. He was a little shocked at first but seconds later was sqealing and kicking. It's almost time for me to start mom and me swim lessons. I think I have a water baby.
I love his life jacket. I think he looks like Spongebob. haha

Broken Promises....woops! :)

SO, awhile ago I told a lie (on accident) and said that I added a bunch of pictures to our Mac Gallery so that our families could download them. Then I figured out that I couldn't do it with my computer; I had to do it with Brett's because his has our account on it. ANYWAY... I finally did actually put them on there. There are a lot of good family pictures and cute pictures of all the babies Boston, Sadie and Nash. The folders I added are titled "Weekend in Boise" and "New pictures- added 9/7", and the link is on the right side of this page. So you should be able to download any that you please to your own computers. :) Loves.

New Stuff

Last Thursday we went up to Olympic park to watch my brother go off ski jumps into a pool. I didn't even know this existed. It was pretty cool. I don't know if I could ever do it because I'm a wuss but it was really fun to watch.





Friday we had a Sundberg family reunion up at Heber Valley Camp. We camped in style in bunkhouse/cabins but didn't sleep a wink. For once I think Boston slept more than we did. Do they make king size air mattresses? We played games, made smores, and ate way too much food. It was a short but fun getaway.

Saturday we went to the BYU game. I was so tired from not sleeping the night before that I barely remember the game, in fact I actually fell asleep during it a couple of times, but I do know they won. :) It was fun to take Boston, and of course we outfitted him in BYU gear.

5 Months Already!!??

Boston is 5 months today! I can't believe how fast that time has gone. He is getting so so big and it's been so fun to watch him grow and learn new things!

I used to look like this....


And now I look like this...

Boston is getting more and more fun every day! I love the new things he does and figures out every day. As you can see in the pictures he is now eating rice cereal which he LOVES (little piggy, and he always gets to play with the spoon after, he might like that more), sitting up, and doing Dad's favorite trick, balancing on his hands. He is also entertaining himself a lot with toys and by making lots of noise. He makes all kinds of weird noises that make me laugh all day. He is very inquisitive, always watching everything around him and grabbing anything he can reach and of course putting it right in his mouth. He has been much better in the car meaning he doesn't scream the entire time we are in the car anymore, only when he is really tired. He giggles a lot (I never knew I was so funny), and he's starting to figure out what being ticklish is, although I still sometimes get an uncomfortable "what are you doing" grunt. He tries to get out of his car seat every time I put him in it, meaning he holds on to the sides of the seat while strapped in, grunting and trying to sit forward as far as he can. It's really funny, this is something I need to get on video because it makes me laugh every time! One of my favorites is he likes to grab his toes a lot and doing this rarely fails to make him "pass gas" especially in the morning but it's never just a normal little toot, no it's always so powerful that Brett often asks "Was that you or Boston?". I'm sure there is more but it's late and I can't think when it's late plus this is getting long already. I do have to mention though the very best thing.. for all of you that I have complained to lately... Boston has slept 8 hours the last 2 nights! YAY!!!! After Boise his sleep or lack thereof has been a nightmare. I think he has finally, and hopefully figured it out though. I discovered letting him cry is the key. My first lesson in "tough love". Luckily though, he only had to cry for a little over an hour and we didn't have to listen to him cry for 2 or 3 or 5 as I've heard some people have had to do. I do love this little guy so much! He makes my heart melt every day. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has trusted me to take care of him, teach him and love him!

Boise....

This post is probably going to be a long one :) We were in Boise for 2 weeks and a few very fun and important things happened. The first one being my brother returning home from his mission! Most of our family made it to the airport to welcome him home. It was so fun to see him again! He looked different to me and even sounded a little different, I think it's just an "older" look and sound. Anyway it's good to have him back and it was fun to be able to spend a little time with him while we were there.



We decided to wait on a couple of things until Kyler got home so that he could be a part of them. We decided he had missed enough since he had never met Brett or his nephew. We dated, got married, and had a baby all in the 2 short years he was gone! So last week we finally blessed our HUGE 4 month old baby. :) We blessed him at my parents house. I really liked doing it this way, it made it seem that much more personal. Brett did a really good job and so did Boston who slept through the whole thing.

And Finally, the most important thing we did while we were in Boise is get sealed in the temple. We are finally official. :) Those of you that know us well know what the situation was last year when we got married. For those of you that don't... long story short, I was married before ( I try to pretend that never happened) and had to file for a cancellation of sealing. 2 weeks before we were supposed to get married we got the letter back from the First Presidency saying they had cancelled the sealing but wanted us to wait a year. That was a shock and an emotional time for me especially but we put our trust in the Lord and his leaders and improvised. Everything went really well and now we are officially an eternal family. Obviously we would have done it differently if we could have but it was so neat to have Boston there with us. He did so good and it was such a sweet experience that I'm sure we will never forget.

Here are some other pictures from while we were home.....

Grandma showing Boston the way...yum yum


**I put all of these pictures on the Mac Web Gallery too so that Krista, Katie, and the Grandma's can download any of them if you'd like :)

In Boise...

We headed up to Boise last week to welcome my brother Kyler home from his mission. It's been fun to have him back around. It's been so good to be able to spend so much time at home too. Brett had to go back to Utah for a little while to work and we miss him :) but he'll be back on Thursday. We have fun stuff coming up this weekend so I'll have pictures later! :)

Lagoon

This post is a little late but I thought I would put these pictures on here anyway since I know my brother Jordan wanted some PROOF that he went on the Skycoaster while we were at Lagoon. We had my brothers staying with us for most of the summer and it was fun having them. We did lots of fun things; Jordan worked hard in the dirt as one of Brett's "crew members", we spent lots of time at the lake and both Brady and Jordan got pretty good on the wakeboard. Lagoon was the one of the last fun things we did before we headed back home to Boise to welcome our other brother Kyler home from his mission.

This is the boys on the Skycoaster as they were being dropped. They are the tiny white dot in the sky. I was standing on the ground all by myself screaming at this point. :)

This is them after... thankfully still alive.
