Wow, once again I am playing catch-up on my blog! January was a very eventful month for us, but the end was packed so I haven't been able to update yet. So I'll post some pictures for everyone to enjoy! Hope everyone is enjoying February so far!!
January 21st - Jack's 23rd Birthday
He was so funny posing to blow out the candles.
He was so funny posing to blow out the candles.
He was pretty upset about the singing and tamborines, but he got a huge free dessert out of it!
Jack's birthday cake his mom got him and we had cornbeef&cabbage for lunch!
Jack had a wonderful birthday and of course we made it last the whole week! He's pretty excited about the video camera we found and he's finally completed his collection of the Seinfeld series! He's so excited to video all of Leighton's 'firsts' and the trip to Disney World! He's such a great man and I'm so thankful for all the happiness he brings to my life and our family.
Happy (late) birthday, honey!!
January 29 - Mom and Addison come to Idaho!
At the top of the Jackson Pass.
They had to play Idaho scratch games before they left!
I was so happy they came out for the weekend! It was Addi's first time in Idaho and she seemed to handle the cold better than I do! It meant so much to me for them to be here, it was such a special weekend! Addison was able to tour BYU-I and I was able to show them a lot of my favorite things about Rexburg. I had so much fun and I can't wait to see them again in June!January 30th - My Baby Shower
JoAnne and Jennive hosted the most awesome baby shower for me! It was so much fun, we played games and ate good food and of course Leighton's little room is getting filled up with all the surprises we got! I feel so blessed that I have 'inherited' such a great family! Jack's family does so much for me and I truly appreciate all the time and energy that went into the shower. It was so cool to have Mom and Addison here for it!

January 31st - Our Sealing in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple
Saturday was the best day of my life so far. It's very personal and writing about it won't do it justice, but I hope everyone has the opportunity to have this experience in their life. Jack and I are so thankful for everyone who could be there, in person and in spirit. We are truly blessed!
February 1st - 'Chip-Dip' Superbowl Party
For Mom and Addi's last day here, Jack and I took them to our ward and we had the opportunity to hear their testimonies while they were here :] Then after church, we all went to Jack's parents house for the Superbowl (Addison was so happy the Steeler's won, haha) and we all ate tons of good food! Mom and I contributed pizza dip and a caramel pecan cake (it sure made me miss my Grandmother and T-Dawg!). 'Chip-Dip' Night is a tradition with Jack's family where there's tons of food and we all hang out and watch movies or play games. It's always a blast!

That was a great post! I had to take some breathers. OK, so congrats on everything! Happy Bday Jack! And you're going to Disney World? I am so jealous. I love that place! I am so happy that you guys had to chance to go to the temple, see your momma and you are looking so cute with your baby bump! I'm so happy for you both once again! Hope all is well!
Thanks for sharing all your great moments with us! I can't believe how fast your pregnancy has gone! Also, congrats on the sealing - did I tell you that Danny & Jessica are getting sealed in San Diego on Valentine's Day?
What a fun month. We sure wish we could have been there to celebrate with you. Congrats on the sealing. We are so proud of you guys. That is so great that your family was there for all the fun and celebrating. You look great Erica, and you are starting to get close. I hope everthing is still going well with the pregnancy.
