Indio. :)

Our vacation FINALLY came! Holy cow. I must say that we were in extreme need of one. It was a blast, and Bridger did awesome in the car, I am so proud of him. :) Anyway, we just basically spent our time swimming, tanning and chilling...or making food. :) We had four families in two 3 bedroom condos (it was a little squishy) and every family had to take care of like four meals throughout the week or something like that. I didn't get too many pictures unfortunately but I got a few that are really cute. Oh yeah! While we were there Bridger cut his first tooth!! He was being so so crabby for like three days, he was clingy (only wanted me 100% of the time) and fussy...then he cut that tooth and he was all happy and ready to play, I wanted to party. Woot woot!!

So what else is going on with the Jarvis family??? We have A/C again!!! That whole A/C experience was a nightmare. There really are so many dishonest companies out there, I had no idea. I called the first people to come out and repair it and they left saying we needed a new one and quoted us $3700.-freak out moment. We might not know anything about air conditioners, but did they think we wouldn't get more estimates??? come on now. We aren't that stupid, seriously. We had three more companies come out and they all said we needed a new one and gave us estimates ranging from $2100-3000.-we still weren't happy. So my mom asked around and got a referral and we hire these guys for $75/hr to come check it out. Come to find out, our air conditioner is  just fine. yep. It was all electrical. There were just a couple of (easily seen) wires that were melted, so they fixed it, installed a larger electrical wire, and vwalah! Cold house. :) I gladly paid them $450 and sent them on their merry way, knowing that if I ever need them they will honestly fix my air conditioner. But can you believe that those other companies did that? I wonder how many other people are getting lied to. It's so sad, especially because a lot of people can't just fork out thousands of dollars, you know?

We found out last month that Jeremy's work is sending some of their translators to Puerto Rico to attend a "spanish immersion" course for two weeks. I. am. so. jealous. I like want him to take me in his suitcase or something. I begged and cried and pleaded with him to let me come down for even a couple of days, but he just doesn't think it makes sense to spend all that money for a plane ticket and only stay there for a day or two...I guess it makes sense but I'm still sad. :( They only have to go to school for like 3-4 hrs a day and the rest will be basically vacation. literally. :p He asked the people in charge and they said if any spouses come they can only stay for a couple days or it defeats the purpose of the "immersion" part of the course. I really don't like being away from my other half...who does??? But I will survive. Who knows, maybe we will get to go somewhere for our anniversary... :) Anyway, he leaves early Sunday morning and won't be back until the 27th, my parents are coming to stay with me for the first week (they're going to education week up here) then I'm going down to Hurricane for the second week-I hhhaaaatttteeee being alone at night, I get scared way too easy. I love having time with my parents because I want Bridger to love love love them. :)

Bridger still isn't sleeping through the night, I really don't know what to do. I'm doing everything I can to avoid CIO but I'm running out of ideas. He sleeps in his crib for like 4 hours at the most, then wakes up every 1-2 hrs after that...for no reason. I KNOW he's not hungry, or cold, or hot. So what do I do??? Parenting can be so hard sometimes, but I would never trade it for anything. It all pays off when I see him learn to do things like crawl roll over, or hold his arms out to me, or kiss me, or learn how to put his binky in his mouth. Even though those things might not be the HUGE milestones (I guess crawling is) but I get so so happy and just feel this pure joy and love for him when I look at him. I feel so thankful to be blessed with this sweet little boy! I actually don't think I mentioned on here that, yes, Bridger is officially crawling, although I think he'd rather just walk from the looks of things...he gradually got it over a matter of a couple weeks but last week, at the very beginning of 7 months he really got the hang of it. It's so fun to watch how he thinks about things and to watch him play, I love it. :)

School starts in like two weeks, right when Jeremy get's back. I really hope this semester is not too crazy! I only have this semester and one more until I get my BS in Psychology and I really can't wait. Sometimes I think I might want to go to grad school, and sometimes I think that thinking was crazy. :S We'll see I guess...maybe when my kids are older I can go back to school or something. Anyway, here are some pictures from vacation and the last couple of weeks...


 It is hilarious to watch these two little boys together, they're so funny. Bridger is on the left and Calum (his cousing) is on the right. They both are pretty much completely opposite in every way, but they play together so cute. In this picture and the one below, Bridger found Calum's toes and thought they were pretty delicious, Calum liked it so he was smiling and chillin and kept pointing his toes and putting his little foot in Bridger's face. So cute! ha ha silly boys.



 I couldn't find a normal one of Jeremy (he was being a picture turd this day) so that's why he's doing that with his face ha ha.
