Hey Ladies,
Berg, sorry I missed you this weekend. The IF fireworks were AMAZING! It was a lot of fun. My mom, Michael, Talon and I went with my Aunt and her kids and their kids. It was a lot of fun. Talon did so well. We wrapped his ears in a thick blanket and he did just fine. We were right at the river at a friend of my aunt's house and we were so close an ash fell on Talon. Poor little guy smelled like a firecracker but he was just fine, didn't even leave a mark.
Danielle, you keep making the front page!! I am so proud of you and happy for you!! You and Josh should do dinner with Michael and I soon. We can meet wherever. I am really needing girl time!
I feel like a bum at home but this weekend I felt great! I stayed awake through the days and played with my siblings. I miss my family so much. Rhonwen and Aiden are so sweet...most of the time. They are so spoiled. But they are my favorite little people. It was also good to see my pops and that fam. It was the first time Talon has met them.
ooh Kmart there is going out of business and everything is on great sale! Lots of fun, I love sales! But I just got hit with a ton of bills today and I am broke, no more fun shopping sprees.
Alright so my life is very uninteresting...I'm out of things to say, so tata for now.

Ear Infections and Mondays
Hi Friends!
I hope you all had a marvelous Independence Day weekend. Even if you didn't, I'm sure yours was much better than mine! Miles got an ear infection and has been miserable for the past 4 days. The peak of it was on the 4th of July, and although we tried to enjoy the holiday and its various festivities...a sick baby made us all sad.
We had a BBQ with friends and family, and Miles cried the entire time...the poor dear. He finally settled down and we went to the fireworks, but he was too tired to enjoy them. He loves loud noises and bright lights, so he was entertained for about 3 minutes and then cried more. We went home about 5 minutes into the display. That is the first time I haven't stayed for the entire thing. My poor baby. There's nothing worse than a sick baby. Especially when there is nothing you can do for them. It breaks my heart.
He is already feeling much better though. I am feeling pretty proud that he made it almost 6 months without getting sick. Even so, it's not like he caught something contagious! I am still proud of that. We are super careful about exposing him to people and places with germs!!
Today is Monday. I am blogging from work (shhh!) because I have already finished everything that I needed to do and it's only 10:00. Now I just have to wait until five rolls around. It always does, but man does it take forever.
I am feeling pretty grateful and blessed and lucky that I get to spend a majority of my time working from home. I get the best of both worlds because I still get to work, but I get to be a stay-at-home mom too. That is so important to me. As you know, I worked in a daycare for a few years while I was in school. While I completely understand that it is a necessary thing, and wonderful for those who need it, I really did not want to send my son to someone else for 8+ hours a day. It is so important to me that I raise my children. I am so glad that I get to. Currently I only work Mondays and Fridays in office and the rest I spend at home with my sweet little one. Grandma's take turns watching him in the mornings, and Chris only works half days, so all in all, he gets lots of love from his family, but spends almost all of his time with mom or dad at home. Which I love.
This blog has kind of been random and all over the place, but I took up about 3 minutes of the work day, so I'm counting it as a success.
I miss you both, and really hope that we can plan a day to get together. Really, we just need to set a day and do it. I am even up for a day trip, just to have lunch with you guys. I need some girl time!
Love you both. Hope you're doing amazing.--Bergen

Hump Day...!
Hello Lovely Ladies!
I'm so glad to see you're posting here! I love reading what you write. It's nice to catch up, even if it is in weekly blog posts.
Things here are pretty much the same as they were the last time I posted! Maybe the only difference is that it is SO much nicer here today. I am guessing high 70's. It has been lovely.
Of course, I can't be outside as much as I want because Miles has beautiful baby skin that would burn so quickly! Even with sunscreen and a hat, we only go out for 15-20 minutes. But I enjoy every second of it.
Hai--It's really easy to get in a slump when you take care of a baby all the time. There might not be a set routine...but you do the same things all the time. I remember when I didn't leave my house for a week and wore pajamas and no makeup. It was kind of nice--and it would have been all too easy to continue doing it. But I am still a pretty vain person. I want my husband to be proud of me. I don't want him to come home to a makeup-less, plump bum. So I changed. Haha.
I'm not sure what our plans are for this weekend. We usually have a BBQ with Chris' family and watch the fireworks in his hometown. Chris will never go to the IF ones because of all the traffic. I don't want to sit in my car for an hour with a sleepy baby. That would NOT be fun. I'd LOVE to see you, even for a few minutes, and see your cute baby! But I understand being busy! Boo family drama. Tell Michael, he'll just have to deal!! :)
Danielle--I'm glad you're enjoying your internship. The view looks pretty awesome! There's nothing better than doing what you love! It looks like you have a fabulous thing going with your man. I am so happy for you. I know exactly what you mean by not wanting to dwell on past relationships. I think back on mine and cringe. *shudder* I really want to meet him.
We should plan a trip to the zoo, or Lagoon or something and all meet up. That would be SO much fun!! We just need to set a date and plan on it. I am so game. It'd be easy for us to come to you, since you are both in Utah anyway!! Seriously...think about it. We just have to plan it out!!
I just got back from the doctor's again. They are running a bunch of tests since my blood pressure has been an issue since I had Miles. They took like 15 tubes of it, so I'm literally feeling drained. Hopefully this will figure something out. I'm tired of going in all the time. I just want to be done with it until I have my next baby!!
Well, I miss you both, and Miles just woke up, so I had better scram! Hope you both have an AWESOME Independence Day! Text me sometime! I'm always available via text! (Do I have both your current numbers??)
Love you, both!

I miss you people!
Danielle your pictures are great! It looks like you are having the time of your life! I was so glad to read that Josh makes you happy and treats you right, that's the best! And I miss your face and need friends so let's plan you coming down here soon and then maybe we'll take Talon to explore SLC :)
Bergen I am going to Idaho this weekend...I don't know if I'll have much time because Michael's family is having a drama crisis and he wants to come back Saturday evening so that's dumb and I have to split my time between two families anyway...what are you doing for the fourth though? I want to take Michael to see the fireworks in IF.
Anyway, not much new here. I miss you two like crazy. I have realized that I am in a slump again where all I want to do is sleep because I don't enjoy being awake and I need to get out of it so I'm working on that...and...I bought some Jamberry nail wraps and some of them have robots on them so that makes me happy...Michael took me on a date last week. His dad like the look of the food in the pic and Michael worked all day Monday so his family took me out again and we went to the same place haha.
I talked to Evan the other night for hours so that was nice. Oh we were talking about our youth and how different we were and he said that when we were little I used to always kick him in the balls hahaha then he told me about the time in PE that Danielle kicked him in the balls while playing soccer, hahahahaha that made me laugh a lot :)
Anywho I have to go to the doctor here in a bit so I have to get Talon ready.
Here are some pictures!
My little family
My goofy husband :)
My baby when he was tiny

An update with photos!
HERRO! (that's how you say hello in Asian)
I really do love hearing about your lives! It's still so surreal to me that you both have babies... BABIES! But I'm so happy for both of you because you seem very happy with your lives.
Right now I'm sitting at my desk at The Salt Lake Tribune office, which is in an office building above the Gateway Mall. To answer your question, Berg — no school! I graduated in May and am doing an internship with the Trib this summer. It pays pretty good. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when this ends in August though. I need to find a job obviously, but I'd really really love to stay in Utah. I know it sounds dumb, but I want to be close to Josh. I think he might consider moving to Salt Lake. It makes him pretty nervous though. He's really afraid of not being able to pay his bills, which is a good quality I guess! Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens.
Hailey, I'm sorry I haven't made it down yet! I was really poor for the first few weeks, but now I have money! Which means now I have gas money to drive to Provo. I'm going to Logan this weekend, but next weekend I don't have any plans yet. Josh will probably come down, but I could bring him!
My relationship is pretty good. I just hate distance. You would think Salt Lake to Logan isn't that bad. And it isn't. Especially compared to the other distance relationships I did. Yuck... you know I HATE thinking about my previous relationships. They just make me feel kind of gross and stupid. But I did learn a lot from them! At least, I like to think so. Anyway back to Josh. He's really awesome. He's really patient with me and he makes me laugh and he treats me better than I've ever been treated. And I think he's pretty cute! All I want is Josh, a cute little house and a dog. Is that so much to ask for?! Haha... someday.
Well I miss you both! And I hope we can work out a time to visit soon. Mostly weekends are good for me. Except the July 24th weekend... I'm covering the parade here.
Oh! So I remember writing that I was going to post photos. Here ya go! My life in iPhone photos.
I really do love hearing about your lives! It's still so surreal to me that you both have babies... BABIES! But I'm so happy for both of you because you seem very happy with your lives.

Oh! So I remember writing that I was going to post photos. Here ya go! My life in iPhone photos.
The view from work. I'm on the 7th floor and there's a HUGE balcony/patio.
Couple weekends ago floating the narrows, just north of Preston, ID.
Camping! From front to back, left to right this is Josh, me, Brad, Kaden, Stephanie, Bucky, Cody.
I dislike Stephanie A LOT. She's very controlling and insecure. And Kaden is Josh's best friend so it's hard to see him with her. Ugghhhh. Bucky looks weird in this pic, but he's one of my very best friends! I spent a lot of time with him last summer.
I don't know why, but this one just makes me laugh. Josh is cute.
Me and Kailee. She is Josh's little brother's girlfriend. Dustin and Kailee are probably my favorite people to hang out with in Logan.
Again! After we took these photos, we went on a canoe ride in this area. We actually camped here for a night. It's so awesome being right next to the river. I <3 font="" summer="">
And this one just makes me happy! Josh as a child. I'm pretty biased, but I think this is just the cutest picture!
