Are you expecting?

Today i was walking between classes when i saw a girl in my ward. she is pretty nice, but sorta new to our ward, so we had the little getting to know you discussion. it was the typical questions... where you from? where is your husband from? how much more school do you have left? how long have you been married? yada, yada, yada. then she asked if we had any kids yet, so i said one little boy who is 18 months old. then she says, "oh well aren't you expecting another one?". WHAT?? i know that i am not a fashion model, but i am pretty sure i don't look pregnant. so i tried to not freak out, and just said " well, i am not quite ready to jump back on that train yet" and kinda laughed. then matt was at work a couple of weeks ago when one of his coworkers asked if i we were having another one too. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? but it got me thinking, people here procreate like it is up to them to replenish the earth, but you cannot go around asking people if they are pregnant without some solid evidence. By solid evidence i mean, they have announced it or can rest a drink on their belly. i know that i am wiggin out a little about this, but i just got rid of all the extra chub from having kyle, so i wanted a little cushion before people thought i was pregnant again. (not to mention that i went to the dr the other day and i was the lowest weight that i have been since i was in like Jr. high or High school, so i thought that i was doing good) i also realize that maybe people just assume since kyle is 18 months old we would be ready for another one. i mean a lot of people have kids a couple years apart. i guess that is just what i am telling my self instead of feeling like i need to go lose 10 lbs. immediately. the funny part is that even if i was done with school and matt had a job and we were settled, i do not think that we would be ready for another baby yet. to be quite honest, i am very scared of being pregnant again. i hated being pregnant and sick and fat. it was not fun or fancy. and lets be honest about how much i hate not looking fancy!! not to mention that we already have a perfect child, and why mess with perfection. ok, that is a little much, i do need a little girl.( i think it goes back to being fancy) well that is enough ranting about being pregnant. but on that note, i am really glad mandy finally had the baby. and michele still has all the fun stuff to look forward to like labor and delivery. also, i know that matt is going to read this tonight while he is working at the fire station, so i love you and put on the turnouts just for me!!

MY SWEET HUSBAND!

i am ready for it to be warm. i am a texan, we start tanning in February. i am so over the cold weather. it keeps getting warm(ok like 60s) then it gets cold again. i hate it. i am ready for warmer weather. i just needed to whine a little bit to get it out of my system.
so something amazing happened last night. i have been a little stressed lately with starting school, and kyle has been whining a ton ( i think that it is a part of being 1 1/2 and teething) and yesterday for some reason i have kinda just been on edge. i was trying not to let it get to me, and i guess matt noticed. he had to go to a stake priesthood meeting, but when he got home he said " honey, i noticed you are a little stressed, so tonight we can watch "the Holiday" and cuddle" and sure enough we did. it was awesome! not only did he notice that i was stressed, but he did something he hated ( cuddling and a chick movie)because he knew how much i love it.if you know matt, him cuddling is a big deal. he hates it ( with a few exceptions, ie. it leads to something). he is really cute and made my day.
school is good, i realized that now that i am taking lower level classes again that there is a lot less reading and writing, but a lot more crappy busy work. it is really annoying. anyways, my classes are fun though. i really like my french class, but today i realized that if we went to Paris i would be able order food and say my name is Cortney, but that is about it. oh well, it is getting better though. i just need more practice. anyways, things are good, hope all is well. and congrats kershaws on the new little baby.

SNOW!!

so i thought that it was the middle of april,but i guess i am mistaken. it has been snowing all day yesterday and today.just when i was getting my hopes up for shorts and flip-flops. it really makes me sad. and kyle too, he was just getting used to going outside to play with his little friends. also, school is good, but really busy. my classes are not very hard, but they take up a lot of time.i think that it is harder for me to go to school, because i don't want to leave kyle with someone else, but matt is home with him so much, and it really makes it ok. he is really great. tomorrow matt takes his test for the idaho falls fire department.he also takes the physical test and interview on saturday if he does good. i know he will do great, he has been studying a lot, but keep him in your prayers. they always help.

Last One!!

today i started back up at school for my last semester. it seems like it is going to be pretty fun. i am taking French (OUI!), Eternal Marriage, Church History, Cardio Fitness and World Civilizations, they are all classes that i am pretty excited about. other than school, things are good. today kyle was outside playing with his friends and dumped a whole juice box on his head, then threw a handful of dirt into the sticky mess on his head. i guess that is just him being a little boy! Anyways, things are going good. i am looking forward to being done with school in July though, until then i will just have to look forward to going to California in June though. hope everyone is good!

our concert!

so on thursday night, we went to a concert. it was fun, besides all the people smoking weed, which was absolutely discusting. it was nice to hang out with james and becca and actually spent some time with matt. also, kyle got to play with their little girl kaitlyn, so he had fun too. well here are some more pictures!

cute little kyle

this morning i had the funniest thing happen. matt had just left for work, so it was just me and kyle at home. i was getting dressed and he was in the living room playing. the next thing i knew i came into the kitchen to find him trying to clean up the box of mac and cheese that he had climbed up and opened. he moved a chair from the table and got the box off the counter. but being the good little boy he is,he got the broom and dust pan and started to clean up his mess. it was so cute!! how can you be mad at someone so cute! well, i thought i would share how cute he is with everyone!!

laundry day!

today was laundry day! it was not the most eventful day, but very productive. matt was home today, so that was really nice. i almost forgot what it was like to have get a whole day with him! he has a meeting tonight, so he will be able to get some quality BS-ing time in. i realized that girls talk more, but it is productive disscusions. guys just BS. anyways, we are going to a Blues Travelers concert tomorrow in Pocatello with James and Becca so that will be really fun! they are sorta old but what can you expect from a little town in Idaho!! hope everyone is good!!
ps matt is really getting into the blogging thing, he checks everyones' several times a day! he always wants to leave comments , but does not want to commit to his own blog

after our busy weekend!!

so, this weekend was crazy!! my parents came, i walked in graduation, and it was easter. graduation was good, i got to shake elder eyring's hand. it was really neat!! my parents came up and it was nice getting to see them. i got a cute picture of kyle wearing my cap! easter was good, kyle really go into the egg hunt. he is quite the accomplished hunter! also, today we had quite an event. matt had to work, so i was home with kyle when one of the paramedics who works with matt called me and told me that matt had an accident. my heart dropped. i told him i would be there in a few minutes. i ran kyle to my neighbors house and tried not to cry the 5 minutes to the hospital. but it turns out that matt got hit in the head really hard, passed out, maybe had a seizure and was in the ER. i was so scared. he is ok though, he has a concussion, but is doing good. i never want to have one of those phone calls again, but i guess with his job, anything could happen. so all in all, matt is doing good, kyle is perfect and i am graduated, expect for summer classes. we are good!!

i thought that i would finally post some pictures of kyle. his grandparents would really like that i think!! we are good, kyle and i were really sick, but we are feeling much better! things are pretty steady here. my parents will be here in three days and i can't wait to see them. it has been forever. matt has to test for the fire department here this weekend too, so it will be really busy, but it will be good for us. well, i have to get back to studying now!! by the way these are really old pictures of us at Halloween. me and matt were danny and sandy from Grease! one of cowboy kyle and one of me cheerleading in the fall!
