We love our dog, I promise. But her hair was getting a tad unruly. And being the poor couple that we are, we couldn't justify spending $40.00 to get her groomed. So today Devin convinced me that he could give her just as good of a hair cut with our scissors. I was a bit dubious at first, but I finally relented. By the time we were done with our at home hair cut we had enough excess hair to make a whole new puppy.

Before hair cut:



After:


Like I stated before, I swear we love our dog...

a new addition to the family, a new blog...

Welcome to our new blog! I figured it was time for a new beginning.

A lot has been happening in our life. Here's a little recap:

January 18th: Devin was accepted to Western University School of Medicine in Lebanon, Oregon. So that means that we are moving to Oregon in July! We couldn't be more excited for our little adventure. I am so proud of Devin for following his dream and working so hard to get to this point in his life.

February 19th: Our beautiful baby boy, Seth James Burr (aka S.J.), was born at 4:47 pm at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, UT. 7 lbs 14 oz's and 19.5" long. Devin and I are so in love with our wonderful bundle of joy (though he does keep us up most of the night...)

March 24th: The BYU Basketball team made it to the Sweet Sixteen and lost :(

So yes, we have been a little bit busy. I have been staying home from work to take care of S.J. and hanging out with Macy. Devin has been working long days to make that possible! (Thanks babe!) The Pediatrician put gave S.J. a prescription for Prevacid because he has reflux. I wish I could do something about this, it's so hard to listen to him cry and know that there isn't anything I can do about it.

A few things about being a mom: I am constantly covered in spit up and pee (his diaper doesn't hold much, apparently). I have learned to function on little to no sleep.  I would rather sit on the couch holding my baby, getting nothing done, than listen to him cry. (I am such a sucker for that little cry) I may have the best husband ever. He helps out so much and makes me feel beautiful (even when I am running around in my pajamas and I have spit up in my hair at 5:00 p.m.).

But most importantly, I never knew I could love a little person so much :)
