so we're finally here in henderson and it is HOT. it was 123 degrees last fri, i'm not kidding you. oh, my gosh. pretty much we don't leave our house unless we're going to an air conditioned store. the house is awesome, pics to come, and everything is unpacked thanks to my mom who came with us for a week. love you, mom. it's an adjustment, mostly for me, but i'm sure it will be fine. we need to find some friends...
the hardest part was saying goodbye to family and friends. here's jack with his grandpa gibbs right before we took off.

here he is
i know this is only one picture, but here he is. this is our sam-boy. i seriously could post some pics of jack at this age and it would be the same. ok, maybe i'll do that. yes, i'm already the mom that takes a billion pictures of the first kid, and the second is continually jipped. sorry, sam.

the glorious 4th
we have pretty strong traditions for the 4th, but this year we had to relax a little because of sam-boy, so it was pretty chill. we went to the parade in the morning with my fam and bestest friends nate and callie. then we had a great bbq with shawn's fam that night. can't remember what we did in between, probably napped. we tried to do some sparklers with jack that night, but at first he was scared (can't blame him...what? a stick that shoots sparks that are very hot? no thanks, dad.) and then he thought they were lame. there's always next year...

sam-boy
sam's here!! sorry if you didn't get the mass text announcement, but he's here. he came last tues. (it's already been a week, crazy) at 4:14 pm. he weighed 7 lbs 2 oz, and was 19 in long. lots of dark hair. where are the pictures, you ask? well, i was smart enough not to pack the camera and send it to vegas with the rest of our stuff, but not smart enough to keep the battery charger. yes, the camera actually died before sam was even born. awesome. so pictures will be forthcoming.
i was mostly nervous about how jack would react but he LOVES sam. he calls him sam-boy, so cute. loves to love on him, hold him, kisses, hugs, etc. has to say good morning and goodnight every day to him. love it.
i feel incredibly blessed. two healthy, happy boys. i've had a super quick and easy recovery. sleeping isn't quite the nightmare it was with jack, so far sam's been pretty good. of course, now that i've said that it will change. anyway, it's been a huge testimony to me that the Lord knows what we need and answers our prayers.
love to all!

just an update
so as we head into the craziest couple months of my life, i just wanted to update before it all happens. shawn and i went down to henderson a couple of weeks ago and found a beautiful house to rent. it was such a relief! 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath, only 4 yrs. old. it's gorgeous, we love it! and it was funny because after we found it, all my fears and nerves disappeared. we feel very blessed to have found it, felt guided by our sweet Father. it was a great experience. so anyway, that's done. wish i had pictures to post but deleted them (accidently) from my email, oops. we're slowly packing boxes here and there and have stacks all around the apartment.
then, about a week ago, we found a van for a killer deal and bought it! crazy! i feel very weird driving it, like i'm not old enough, like i'm going to return it tomorrow to my mom, and like i've lost all my coolness. the space is awesome though and jack loves it. maybe, if i get around to it, i'll post a picture. probably not.
house...check
van...check
moving...june 19
baby...somebody shoot me now. he's almost here. he's dropped, i can barely walk, and my legs are KILLING me. i'm being induced on the 23rd so i have 3 weeks. in some ways, you might as well tell me i have another year, that's how far away it feels. but i feel extremely blessed that we're both healthy and the pregnancy has gone perfectly. soon it'll be me and a house full of boys. it's what i've always wanted.
i'll try to post pictures as all of this happens. it's gonna be a crazy ride, but i'm excited!

snuggle bugs
jack's favorite thing is to cuddle with shawn when he wakes up from his naps and on saturday/sunday mornings. he crawls into bed and they love on each other. jack smiles and smiles. two peas in a pod, they are.

ice-a-cone
so jack really wasn't a fan of ice cream (what the heck?) until we introduced the cone. this is his first one ever. he calls them "ice-a-cones".
