Team Edward

I am dedicating this next post to my friend Mandi and also to my sister in-law Teeny. May Edward forever be remembered in our hearts. What suckers we are!

My mom Kris, me, Teeny my sister in-law, and Jesse's mom Becky decided to go to the release party at Barnes and Noble for Stephenie Meyer's book "Breaking Dawn". I made us all T-shirts so we could all be wrapped up in the moment. This was the first time I have ever been to a book party of some sort and it was absolutely crazy! And it was also the most fun I have had in a long time. I am so glad that I could sucker these other three ladies to come with me and join my loser self in this madness!

What a happening bunch of ladies we are.

This is just part of the crowd that we had to deal with. Like I said...Madness.

Barnes and Noble hired actors to play Edward and Bella. And if you wanted to you could spend half the night in their reception line just so you could have your picture taken with them. We decided to get a picture ourselves! The Edward was pretty dreamy... they should have hired him for the movie instead of the guy they picked!

We had to have a little midnight snack while we waited for our books so we went across the street to hit up IHOP. So I forgot to mention that this party was from 8:30pm to 1:00am.. 1:00am for us anyway. There were still a few hundred people behind us in line to get their books.

Me and Teeny with our cokes trying to stay awake!

Okay... so enough of the book nonsense. I was privileged enough to watch Ava my little niece on Friday. She is so funny and her and Finn are just cute together. I am lame so I only took two pictures, but oh well..what can you do.

I had to add this picture because of how sweet my baby looks when he is sleeping. Maybe because when he is awake his new favorite words are "NO" and "Mine". So he is not my sweet little boy right now when he is awake!

Fun Times.

I wish that I had a good excuse for just now posting our 4th of July Pictures, but the truth is.. I (Lindy) am a lousy blogger. I feel like the only spare time I have is to check out others blogs instead of updating my own. So these will have to do until next month! As a update, we are still alive in Ogden. Jesse is busy being a Doctor and Finn is keeping his mom company and entertained on a daily basis. So all is well!

This is a little video of Finn. I never knew that the word shoes could sound so cute!

For the 4th of July the Spencer's threw their annual party and they rented a blow up house for the kids, which was a major success. Good job Grandma and Grandpa!

Finn couldn't get enough. He loved it

Finn showing off his mad bouncing skills!

Our little runt acting so tough!

This is Finn with Ava. I wish that these two could get married but since she is his cousin that would just be sick and wrong. But we think Ava is the cutest little thing ever! And they play so cute together.

Jesse's family threw him a little surprise party as a Congratulations for Graduating. We celebrated at the bowling alley with the whole family. This was Finn's first time bowling and he loved it. I think that since his height and weight might be an issue for some sports maybe he could take up bowling!

My brother and his family came over to hang out and this is Finn and Kennedy reading some books.

Braxton and Jesse playing some X-box

Finn loving his m&m's

I got this little car blow up toy for Finn so that when we went swimming he could play with it in the pool. Well, Finn insisted on playing with it in the tub... so I guess what ever makes them happy right?!

Settled In

We are officially out of boxes and enjoying our new home. It is the first time in our six years of marriage that we haven't had to share walls with anyone so this is huge. It is so nice not to be woken up in the middle of the night to music or to hear someone go pee and flush the toilet. This last month has been great! We have been spending every weekend at some family event of some sort or at a "getting to know you" thing for Jesse's residency program. It is so nice to be close to family again and Finn has been loving playing with all of his cousins. Jesse started his first official day of residency and has begun to play Doctor, which is crazy. He is freaking out but I know that he will be just fine. There are a total of six residents and all of them including their spouses are so incredibly nice and normal. We have been spending a lot of time together this past week and it has been lots of fun getting to know them and their families and know that Jesse will be in good company on those long hours. Here are a few pictures of what our last three weeks have entailed!

Jesse decided to be adventurous and climb a mountain by himself. I feared for his life, but he did return home safe and sound and said it was a nice get away to clear his head

He's crazy

What a mountain man!

I bought this little kiddie pool for our yard and Finn loves it. He was so funny and cute.

This is Finn's new "cheese" face

Finn having his little before bedtime snack. Lay's Baked potato chips. Yummy!

It is South Ogden days, so we decided to go to the Carnival and let Finn try the carousel for the first time. I think that Jesse was enjoying it way more than Finn

Finn started to scream so they had to stop the ride early, but then he cried when he was off because he wanted to get back on. He is just never satisfied!

We went to a park with Jesse's fellow residents to enjoy some music, junk food and fire works.

We went down to Jesse's brothers house to celebrate Jesse's moms Birthday

All cleaned up !

Moving on...

Just a couple of little itty-bitty minor things have happened since our last post. Jesse graduated medical school, we packed up our little Denver house, took a killer drive through beautiful Wyoming, and have moved into our new little South Ogden house. Besides that, not much has gone on.

Graduation was nice and we had a few family members and friends come in for the big celebration. Jesse is now the proud owner of a very expensive piece of paper known as his medical degree. He is totally freaked out about not going to school anymore. Being a student is much easier than actually working and having responsibility. That stuff is scary.


Here he is in his dork-hat and dress-thing. Graduation garb has never been his favorite thing.

After the ceremony. That green thing around his neck is called a "hood". They do a weird hooding ceremony and it is just more weirdness to add to the graduation clothing.

With Mark after the graduation. He will be in Salt Lake for a surgery residency so there were no tears of goodbye at graduation. We took a picture with the ladies of our lives, but it didn't turn out too good so we will just have to settle for a shout out to them.

The graduation party then went to Senor Rita's for some greasy Mexican food. Jesse will miss this place for their fish tacos. Lindy will not miss this place at all. It was fun having everybody out. We hit downtown Denver, ate too much, went to a Rockies game (Granny Angus is now 80 and has done loads of things but this was her first MLB game), and had a good time catching up with everybody. We really appreciated having everybody show their support and spoiling us rotten as always.

Obviously, the worst part of moving was leaving friends that we have made over the years. This is the Tobler clan on "Bachelor Night". Michael was nice enough to come along with April so that Jesse had somebody to mock the show with. Anyhow, leaving friends is never easy and we had a rough week saying goodbye to the Toblers and others. Luckily, many of them are staying in Colorado so they aren't too far away.

This is Finn's final stroll around the old Denver place. He loves putting his little stuffed critters in his stroller and taking them for a walk.

Finn was a huge help packing, if crawling in empty boxes that are ready to get packed is considered helping. We thought about closing this one up and sending it to China but then we remembered that we like him most of the time and we are going to need somebody to take care of us when we start pooping our pants again in our old age.

This is Finn's new bedroom. It looks a lot like the old one. Hopefully it will be a little more magical and he will actually sleep in it.

Finn giving the new couch a rub down just before bedtime. Our graduation gift to ourselves was this couch, of which you get to see a whole lot of. It is also a gift for our anniversary, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Flag Day, etc... The rug was a steal from Lowes that covers up a few "blemishes" on the carpet from the last people who lived here. As a sidenote, we would like to encourage the world to get rid of white carpet. Please join us in this cause.

We like this picture just because of Finn's hair. For some reason, Lindy always makes it wild just before his bedtime.

Here is a picture of the new place. It is nice and open on the main level.

Lindy's favorite place in the house- the crafting nook. Stay tuned for some amazing projects.

Finn's favorite room- the ball room. Not a dancing ballroom, a playing ball room. Although, because pretty much anything goes in this room, if you wanted to dance, you could. Finn loves this place and just runs around in circles, howling like a dog.
