This is becoming an issue; a ridiculous habit. We apologize for not posting in a long time. But we ask that you enjoy our updates on life and our adventure of becoming first time parents.
Let us go back to Christmastime. We decorated our tree, our house and went to our ward Christmas party...that's what we did before going home for Christmas.
We flew home and were dying to get there but sadly, we did not take any pictures of us during our travels: none with Percy and his first flight. What a bummer!! Hopefully we will be better picture takers when we have a little one! HAHA We hung out mostly with all of the family, what a crowd. It was chaotic and the most fun. It was exactly what we hoped it would all be when we got to Utah. We did get to hang out with the Warner's which was a lot of fun.
We were both visiting family so it wasn't super long, but worth every second. We wished we had time to spend with all of our friends but unfortunately the holidays are super busy and full of family fun.
We had to come home and it was very bittersweet! We were so sad to leave our family (I was bawling on the plane) it was horrible. But, we had something to look forward to.... Our first ultrasound that looks like a real baby! It was the most fun!! We were so excited to see the bones and all the little parts growing so well!!
We were asked to chaperone the New Years Eve Dance for the Youth. we had a lot of fun. We hung out in the kitchen and food room a lot of the time just because we met some really awesome people and they were really nice. Fun times at the dance!!
I started to get bigger and struggled to sleep at night so I tried everything people told me and nothing seemed to work. I was really frustrated and I tried everything like sleeping on the couch, propping myself with pillows, using lavender, etc. I resorted to sleeping in the bed by myself to see if that would work and so this is what Colby had to suffer through for a couple days until I figured out that it didn't work! He was pretty miserable but he was a good sport to try and make a girl comfortable. Percy felt really bad and kept whining to get him to come up to the bed and then eventually jumped down to keep him company!! He loves his dad.
January was a really busy month. Colby started the new semester and things got a little crazy, he has a lot of night classes and on the off days he has to work at night. We only get to really see each other on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. It is kind of hard but I found some crafts to do and spend a lot of time with the missionaries and Netflix!! :)
Valentines Day was pretty fun, we just spent the whole day together. We went to breakfast at the Big Bear Diner which I love and then we shopped a little bit at the mall. The evening we spent with a ward party (not our ward but we are good party crashers)!! They had a lot of food and there was a lot of dancing Fortunately I got a picture of Colby, I was unable to dance because I was not feeling super awesome and the jumping and moving did not exactly help my cause!
At the end of February Colby got inducted into the Chi Sigma Iota Honorary Society. It was a really great experience and I got to meet a lot of his classmates. He was super happy and pleased because this means he is doing incredible in school. The requirement is a GPA of 3.6 and above!! He is rockin' his school right now. I am very very proud! :)
We don't have many cold days here in Colorado it is mostly sunny almost all the time!! it is really awesome but we have had a few days of freezing weather and Colby has to walk a few miles to his practicum. This is sometimes how he has to dress to endure such rash weather changes!! haha you can barely tell that it is him!! And he pointed out he is conflicted between Gryffindor and Slytherin!! What will he choose?...
Conference Weekend came so quickly and we were so happy because last conference was super hard to focus because that is the day we found out we were pregnant and we were incredibly distracted and i couldn't listen at all. I listened so well this time around and really enjoyed the talks. Those men are all so inspired and it was great to just feel happy and blessed. We had the missionaries at our house to watch for 2 of the sessions and it was great. The day was beautiful and sunny so in between sessions we were able to go outside and enjoy the day together with the dog. He loves the sun!!
Things are going really really well. We miss home and miss our family and friends there but we are for the most part enjoying our time here in the beautiful state of Colorado. We did have to get new license plates so we are officially residents of Colorado!!

A few people ask for pregnant pictures of me and I am not one for posting them on facebook all the time but here are a few for those who want to see and for my own documentation of this incredible blessing!!
Hope that you all enjoyed the happenings in the Majors life, hopefully next time we will write a little sooner so we don't have to catch up so many months in a row!! Oh well at least we do it sometimes!! Peace Out everyone!! Enjoy the spring!
