james

so we took james to his 2yr ck up today. he is in the 80% for his height, but only 19% for his weight. his weight is actually equal to what i have lost since i had the baby last week. (p.s. i got into my regular jeans today. button was a lil tight, but they looked good). and so we need to fatten him up! dr wants him to see a nutritionist to give us ideas and things to get him CHUBBY! :-)

what a good brother

well, goodness. its been a week. life moves pretty fast when you are focusing on ONE lil guy... but even MORE fast when you have TWO. james is trying SO hard to be a great older brother. you can see in this pic that he is figuring out how to use the carseat.



he loves to put things together to begin with, but since this is for brother, he is always trying to see how it works. james kisses on samuel and tries to hold him ALL the time. its pretty cute. he is getting better at not getting out of his bed at night and naps. i think since things have calmed down a lil, he is getting use to it.

i am doing well. i am getting up and down WAY better. i pretty much only take about one pain pill a day. just every now and again, you get a lil OUCH pain. i also havent changed ANY diaper in a whole week. that has been nice. but sad at the same time because i have no idea what sam's lil bum looks like. i cant really bend that far to do it, so my fam has been taking care of all that. and daddy is doing well. he is trying to be the best daddy to BOTH the boys AND to me. so he has lots on his plate. AND pretty soon he has to get back in the groove of studying.

anyways.. lil sis left today. so its just gramma, me and daddy watching the boys. gramma is pretty much dealing with james at night for us and helping me with whatever i need throughout the day. sooo.. ANYWHO... tis all for now. normally, i would have thousands of pics, but as all you who have more than one child know, you never have as many since you are so busy just trying to keep up, let alone take a pic!! haha.. i will try harder.

Its about time!!!

Well this week has been a real big week for the Fritz clan. yesterday Jake had his aircraft selection and he took the blackhawk, he could not be happier about the subject. There are a few people that are really upset but we are the fortunate ones who at this point are really excited. Which leads us into today. We came to the hospital at 0500 and had Samuel Jakob Fritz at 0718 he is 8lbs 1.3oz and 21 inches long. he is gorgeous he looks a lot like his older brother James except for his RED hair, yup thats right red hair.

FINALLY

no, this has nothing to do with jake and school... it IS about our lives tho...



this is the jordan river temple. this is where it will finally be done. jake and i talked with the bishop today and got the "ok" to get sealed together and to our boys!! of course we still need to talk to the stk pres, but that should be done end of november. then, when we are visiting family up in south jordan for christmas, we will get sealed. awesome right?? we are pretty stoked about it. just another activity to put on our TO DO LIST for the holidays!! hahahaha

are we done yet?

well, Primary for jake is OVER. finally! he did his last check ride today and did a great job. now we can focus on BABY for next week. kinda. jake still has to do his last PT test and select his aircraft next week, but that doesnt require studying.

tomorrow is james' birthday. he is 2!! can you believe that? my goodness. i have a TWO YEAR OLD! weird. we are just going to do cake and ice cream at the house. whoever wants to come can come, but no party.

sunday we teach our last lesson in church for a few weeks. take a break from that and recover from surgery. and then wednesday, my family comes into town to take care of things while jake and i are focusing on Sam. la de da.. what else. not too much besides baby birth. just gettin stuff ready and relaxing.

thats about all that is going on here in AL. ta da!

lets play catch up

dont you LOVE long posts? well, i have some adorable pics that i have to share to catch you up on everything... eventhough my last post caught you up a lot!

these are the girls who came to my baby shower - minus the host who took the pic. crista and lori did an AWESOME job and i cant thank them enough for doing this for me. and to the girls who came, i cant thank enough either! they were awesome and were full of love!!

ok, this is me and james after my shower. i came home and jake had a present for me too! so he gave it to james to give to me. it was adorable. james is learning so fast how to bring stuff to us and carry things instead of just dropping it. but you can also see how BIG my belly is!

james likes to put on daddys clothes, so i put jakes jammies on him. it was flippin cute so we HAD to get a pic.

the other day, while i was in the shower, james decided to grab a brand new roll of toilet paper and unroll it. EVERYWHERE. i dont understand why he does what he does.

james got his new shoes and pants (like i blogged earlier) and we had to get a pic of him showing them off.

give james an oreo and this is what happens. he really is starting to like them. he eats them kinda slow, but that is ok. he got it everywhere but actually let me take a pic which was odd.


so those were my pics. hope that you enjoyed them. hehe

gettin there...

i have just over two weeks left of being PREGGERS. its so nice, yet so sad. i am so uncomfy that i am just ready for it all to happen... as long as jake is DONE with primary though. HA!

james is adorable. he got new shoes and jeans today. he didnt own any pants for this fall, so we had to get him just a couple pairs. and i bought a white long sleeved shirt so he can still wear his short sleeves ones, just throw this long sleeve underneath.. :-)

YAY! today was the first day that james and i had to wear JACKETS to go outside and run errands! it was awesome and i loved it! granted i cant fit into my CUTE jackets, but that is ok. i dont really need them to zip up right now. and james only has ONE jacket. and again, that is ok because he is a kid and doesnt care.

oh well... just thought i would write and tell everyone that things are good, i am huge, and jake is almost done with this phase of school! YIPPY for us! :-)
