We pulled into Anie's driveway and were greeted with a surprise. Bobby, Amy, Porter and Matthew had driven from Utah to surprise us and join in on the New Years celebration! We were so surprised and excited to continue our tradition of New Years together! I wish I would have gotten a picture of this surprise!</div>

I absolutely love seeing my girl with her aunts and uncles. I am so grateful to have such a close family so my kids can have a relationship with their aunts, uncles and cousins.</div>

Unfortunately we had to get back on the road January 1st. Saying goodbye to everyone was so sad. Thank goodness we will see them again in a few months for the family reunion! So thankful to the Jenkins for being so hospitable and showing us a great time and to the Rudds for surprising us and coming all the way to California! It was a blast!</div>

We stayed in Antioch with the remaining Evans one more night before flying across the country again. Unfortunately the sickness caught up with Jeremy and he was up all night throwing up. He was worried about getting sick on the plane especially with all the motion so he took a dramamine...and then passed out on the plane. Ha! Thankfully the flight wasn't too bad!</div>

Since Tyler got home last month from his mission, all the siblings made plans to do a Christmas together in California. We have been so excited for this trip, especially for Leila to meet her Uncle Tyler for the first time!</div>

Leila and I have only flown together but for this trip Daddy got to fly with us! I was so grateful to have another pair of hands. Leila loved watching the planes out the window...and so did Bree (her doll).</div>

There must have been a lot of families going to California for Christmas. This was the family boarding line...Yikes!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a lot of things to keep Leila preoccupied (she especially loved putting stickers EVERYWHERE) but definitely not 8 hours worth of stuff. And of course Leila refused to sleep almost the entire 8 hours. </div>

And she stayed asleep through landing, walking to baggage claim, getting our bags, and getting into the car. I think my face says it all. This is why we don't make this trip often. Ha!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the next day she was ready for the meeting of a lifetime!</div>

She was pretty hesitant at first and wouldn't let him hold her but they were pretty cute sitting next to each other on the stairs. It was so good to see Tyler after two years and we are happy to have him home!</div>

We enjoyed the next few days just relaxing with Gram and Papa and Mayley the dog. Leila is obsessed with this dog but Mayley is not too sure about Leila. Leila always wanted Mayley inside so she could follow her around and get her to play with the chew toy. But when she had to be outside Leila just camped out by the door and talked to Mayley through the glass. </div>

Our last day was Sunday and Tyler's homecoming talk at church. Mom had stayed up late so many nights making matching ties from fabric brought back from Samoa for all the boys to wear and all the girls had matching necklaces from Samoa. </div>

The Calhouns took us to the airport and brought our Christmas presents. We wanted to open them with them and so glad we did. They gave Leila a diaper bag stocked with bottles and homemade diapers, wipes, and a changing pad. It was the perfect gift for this little mama. </div>

I also made Tisha take a belly picture with me before we left. It's been so fun to be pregnant at the same time as my sister and these sweet boys of ours will be the best of friends being just 4 months apart. Sad I will be missing the birth of this new Calhoun boy and will be so anxious to hold him when we get back!</div>

We had a little scheduling confusion and Jeremy ended up having test at the same time as the ultrasound so I was planning on just going by myself and bringing Leila. When I got there and they saw I had Leila they told me I couldn't take her in with me without another adult. I freaked out because I knew I wouldn't be able to get another appointment before we went out of town. So I immediately called Jeremy and by some miracle he answered and had finished his test early and was running to the hospital. It was awesome that he ended up being able to be there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We really were surprised because even though Jeremy said he thought it was a boy neither of us really had any idea what we were having. </div>

So instead of our usual red and green sugar cookies we stuck with lots and blue and even made some gingerbread boys too! </div>

Just kidding! She can't wait for a little brother, even if she has no idea what is really coming her way. But in the meantime the cookies are easing the transition.</div>

What can I even say about this first trimester? First off I have to say I am truly grateful to be pregnant. After trying for several months this is such a blessing and I thank Heavenly Father everyday for blessing me with this baby. Having said that, pregnancy is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Similar to my pregnancy with Leila I have been really sick. It's been rough feeling so awful and keeping up with a toddler this time. I haven't really been able to cook so poor Jeremy is fending for himself. I've lost close to 10 pounds so far. My back pain has started earlier this go around which is unfortunate but despite all these symptoms I'm happy to be growing this baby! </div>

This month Leila turned 18 months old which is a big milestone. It means she gets to go to nursery at church! Jeremy dropped her off and she did great. I of course had to check on her just to be sure and this is why I found. Couldn't be happier with her friends and her raisins.</div>

While starting nursery has it's benefits, the germ sharing is not one of them. Of course right after going to nursery she got sick but sometimes a sick day is exactly what we need. Lots of snuggling on the couch watching movies.</div>

We saw Meet the Mormons this month. It was Leila's first time in the theater. She did a lot better than I expected. Lots of smuggled snacks in my purse saved the day. The movie was fantastic too! We actually ended up being in the same theater as the Calhouns so we joined them for dinner at Firehouse afterwards. </div>

Our ward threw it's annual Halloween party the night before Halloween. I made Jeremy dress up (I found this sweet Frankenstein make in the dollar section at Target which is about all Jeremy would do) and I of course had to do a pregnancy related costume to announce the news to my ward.</div>

The NC State Fair is kind of a big deal. We didn't go last year but with all the hype we have heard about it we put it on the "must do" list. I grew up attending the corn fest every summer and honestly never thought it was that awesome.This was a completely different experience!</div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-St2XJj66KIg/VXt_rFOrd6I/AAAAAAAAFF4/oGHPlDCz3mA/s1600/20141024_174843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-St2XJj66KIg/VXt_rFOrd6I/AAAAAAAAFF4/oGHPlDCz3mA/s400/20141024_174843.jpg" width="225" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We weren't sure where to start so we walked over to this whole section of merchants from all over the state selling items of their craft. I could not get over the talent of these people. Everything from rugs and baskets to wood toys and stuffed animals. Some day I'll buy something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we headed over to check out the animals. There were a ton! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Horses, cows, sheep and Leila's favorite bunnies. They had a whole room full of bunnies! Leila loved them...wouldn't even take her eyes off them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course we had to check out all the prize winning produce. There were some huge pumpkins...pretty awesome. We even got some locally grown apples and honey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But above all it wouldn't be the NC State fair without some good eats. It really is all about the food!</div>

Hot dogs and corn on a stick, funnel cake, and a fried twinkie. Yes...a fried twinkie. They fry pretty much everything here in North Carolina. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leila approved. But our stomachs were feeling the effects the rest of the day.</div>

Aside from having to live away from us while on clinical, Jeremy really enjoyed the hospital he worked at, the people he worked with, and the place he lived. He promised to come back to visit and we definitely wanted to honor that promise. Pinehurst is close enough for a day trip so we drove there, took a walk around Southern Pines Reservoir, visited the hospital for lunch, and made it home for dinner. </div>

I love fall time! The weather cools off to the most perfect temperatures, the leaves change and the world is full of beautiful colors, and it is the start of all the holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we planned a trip to a pumpkin patch. I was ridiculously excited because I have never been to one before. We always just got our pumpkins at the grocery store so w thought this would be fun for all of us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had a corn crib with a slide, a corn maze, cotton picking, farm animals, hay ride, and of course pumpkin picking. Besides the abnormally high temperatures it was the perfect way to bring in fall.</div>

Let's finish off the summer with a recap of all the highlights from August.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LiCb451vSmo/VTmVrK19P0I/AAAAAAAAE28/LRo2VBg-fGY/s1600/DSCF7502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LiCb451vSmo/VTmVrK19P0I/AAAAAAAAE28/LRo2VBg-fGY/s1600/DSCF7502.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course with August brings back the start of school. Jeremy is back living with us and starting his second year of Physical Therapy School. Woohoo! I can't believe it's been a year since he started!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fUVMsD2DtyY/VTmVsJbWEwI/AAAAAAAAE3I/hHCnhMT9fpg/s1600/DSCF7505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fUVMsD2DtyY/VTmVsJbWEwI/AAAAAAAAE3I/hHCnhMT9fpg/s1600/DSCF7505.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y3sOv6kzmYI/VTmVsW_VRVI/AAAAAAAAE3M/z26ro7FqxWU/s1600/DSCF7509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y3sOv6kzmYI/VTmVsW_VRVI/AAAAAAAAE3M/z26ro7FqxWU/s1600/DSCF7509.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One bit of extra exciting news in relation to Jeremy going back to school is that according to the university we are now officially residents of the great state of North Carolina! It took us a year but now we only have to pay half the amount of tuition that we were! That makes switching all our California stuff totally worth it!</div>

Her favorite toy is her shopping cart she got for her birthday. She loves to load it up and walk around with it. At 15 months she hadn't started walking yet but just after her 15 month birthday she took her first steps and it seems like she hasn't stopped. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Technically she had already taken a few steps a few weeks before her 15 month but then she stopped. We went our west and she totally refused. But when we came home she just picked it right up. I think it had to do with wanting to do it with Daddy. :)</div>

With Jeremy living in Pinehurst and not getting to see him much anyway, my parents offered to bring me and Leila out west for a couple weeks. This trip couldn't have come at a better time! It was awesome to see so much family and friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leila was so great on the plane ride! I was so thankful since she is a lot more active than the last time we flew together. The cup of apple juice with a straw was our saving grace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our first stop was Salt Lake so that we could attend new baby Porter's blessing. Leila was a little afraid of Uncle Bobby but who wouldn't be with that scary beard?! But he learned that the way to Leila's heart is through her stomach and started to win her over. Corn on the cob was really a hit!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leila also got to meet Uncle Dave who was in town from Southern California. Another bearded uncle that Leila eyed very cautiously. </div>

Uncle Spencer was another story. I think seeing her two girl cousins with him made him seem like a safe bet and she snuggled right up to him!</div>

After our stay in Oregon we started the next long drive to Brentwood. This whole trip Leila had been a complete angle especially with dealing with all the travel.

This was hysterical. Leila was sleeping in Gram's office and I guess I put the pack-n-play too close to her desk because the first night Leila pulled a few things into her bed with her. Maybe she just needed some light reading to help her fall asleep!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WzF0Pv545wY/VTBkGlkU1RI/AAAAAAAAEwg/bxuJykrE0IE/s1600/IMG_2253.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WzF0Pv545wY/VTBkGlkU1RI/AAAAAAAAEwg/bxuJykrE0IE/s1600/IMG_2253.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>

We checked out Durham Life and Science Museum. Every exhibit was awesome!</div>

We started the day off by joining the Calhouns for the Apex parade. </div>

All the kids had a blast in the parade and even got to ride some rides and get soaking wet from the fire house spraying from the fire truck. </div>

I guess I'll start with the sad news for the month. This month we said goodbye to our sweet dog Kody. Kody has been apart of our family for the past 9 years and has truly blessed our lives. I'm so glad Leila was able to meet him and love him like I did! He will really be missed. </div>

Leila got her first fat lip this month. It was actually really sad. She fell right on her face and her teeth cut her lip. But I couldn't resist a picture.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had some more bittersweet news this month. With the end of the semester came the start of Jeremy's first clinical. He was assigned to work in a hospital in Pinehurst. The distance was far enough that he qualified for free housing which would save us a ton of money on gas but meant that we would be apart all week until he could drive home on the weekends. This has been a sacrifice but it's only for 8 weeks so we are making it work.</div>

Jeremy has been begging to take a family camping trip FOREVER! We both really love to camp but when it comes down to it, camping with a baby/toddler does not sound appealing to me at all. I always think worst case scenarios and Jeremy is definitely the more positive one of the two. So it's definitely been me putting it off. However we agreed to try a short camping trip to Carolina Beach now that Leila is one and can hopefully handle it a little better. The reality of the trip fell somewhere in between mine and Jeremy's expectations. It really was a ton of fun, but it was also camping with a toddler...a little unpredictable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got to the campsite it really was perfect. I loved the one that Jeremy chose: perfectly tucked away. However, as soon as we stepped outside we realized just how hot it was. We set up our tent and campsite (one of my favorite parts of camping) and then went out on a hike. There was some cool trails but after awhile it was just too hot so we headed back. It was getting close to dinner time so we started the fire and put on the foil dinners (another one of my favorite parts of camping) I had also found this super fun dessert on Pinterest that we tried out: banana boats...so DELICIOUS. After dinner we hung out and then watched a movie in the tent and after it got dark we put Leila down for bed in her pack-n-play in the tent. Surprisingly she went to sleep so Jeremy and I just hung outside and read Harry Potter and talked. </div>

The night brought on a whole other side of the trip. I expected it to cool off once the sun went down but it never did. We were all overheating stuck in that tent but there wasn't much to do. So we were all sleeping in as little clothes as possible. Eventually I had to go to the bathroom (my least favorite part of camping) which meant I had to go trekking out in the dark by myself to I find these bathrooms where I was afraid someone was waiting to kill me or something was waiting to eat me. I made it thankfully but soon after Leila woke up. We couldn't let her cry for fear of waking up our neighbors but I couldn't really get her back to sleep. We tried having her sleep with us but she just wanted to play around. Plus having anyone snuggle me was torture because our skin was just sticking together. Finally we got her back to sleep but we didn't sleep much. Early the next morning we were all ready to get to the beach and cool off. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was nice to be so close and it was the perfect morning at the beach. I think it healed us all. Once it really started heating up we headed back and within seconds Leila was asleep. We were all pretty worn out so we packed up and headed home. </div>

It was a short trip and like so many of our adventures it wasn't perfect but provided some awesome memories. I think it will be a little while before we try it again though. </div>

It's no secret that our family loves the beach. Having a 2.5 hour drive to get there has been a little rough but I think it makes it even more special when we go. Other than the difference in distance, the difference in weather from California is pretty obvious. It is a whole lot more humid here!! We really felt it this trip. We took a day beach trip with our friends the Dyers and their cousins. It was a perfect sunny summer day with lots of humidity. Leila was so hot that she started putting her face into a bag of ice Kaitlyn had brought to keep their lunches cool. </div>

After being very spoiled with warm water in Florida I think she was a little surprised by this not so warm water but we all had a blast soaking up the sun (maybe a little too much sun) and splashing around in the water. </div>

Leila is such a good sleeper. We trained her to sleep in her crib at a young age which is fantastic but also sad because I never get to snuggle my sleeping baby anymore. This month, with the realization that my baby is no longer a baby, I got a little obsessed with just how sweet, absolutely perfect and sometimes so silly she is when she sleeps. So don't mind my million of sleeping pictures that follow. </div>
