When did my 13 month old become such a BOY..

-He loves to get thrown around and beat up
-throws everything especially if it something he doesn't want ( were working on this one!)
-hits...yes he hits (also working on this one haha)
-climbs on everything
-laughs at his own farts and makes sure we are aware of what just happened
- gets into EVERYTHING.. like i mean EVERYTHING!! ( as i type this he is taking out all of the Tupperware in our cupboards)
-best fit thrower and fake crier..
-grunts when he sees food he wants and is not very patient about it.
-is always dirty...by the end of the day at times he looks like an orphan not really sure how it happens
-eats everything in sight
- hates taking naps; would rather go to sleep early than have to stop playing during the day
-bites.. in his defense he thinks hes giving raspberries; again working on this one
-loves technology: the cell phone computer radio anything really
-carries the remote around like he owns it
-cries when he has to be held down in his car seat . we plan trips sometimes around when hes tired so he will just fall asleep.ridiculous? I know.
- screams all the time..

YES it has happened i do believe we have entered the toddler stage, hes walking around everywhere and gets really mad when he loses his balance... but adding all this and much more he is SO much fun! hes talking  and copying our phrases.. i love everything about it even his bad  hard habits :) as he currently lays by me screaming because i'm "not paying attention to him" he is so sweet and i still cant believe he turned 1 last month which i will be updating this thing soon.. but they really do grow so fast!

In other news in our little world LAW SCHOOL acceptances are in full swing we have been accepted to 10/15 and haven't heard from the last 5 so yes we have been accepted to everyone so far how in the heck are we supposed to choose?? Anxiety and stress have def been present in our home lately. WELL me more than Jared he is so calm and reassuring that we will figure it out.. we probably wont decide until end of march after we fly out to visit our top 3 over spring break..Most schools are mid west and east coast.. Our considerations are Michigan St, Akron, New Hampshire, Drexel, and William and Mitchell that are still in the mix but like i said we still haven't heard from 5 so next month this list could be totally different, which for my "planner brain" is hard to deal with but it's ok we are surviving this whole process! Its gonna be wonderful to be by my family again but i am getting really nervous about the change we love our home, our ward, our friends and our "bubble" after living here for 6 years we have learned to love it and leaving is very bitter sweet. We are so excited for our new adventure but i cant say there wont be tears..i love our life here but i know i will love our life anyway because i have Jared and Kyler.. The things Jared does and says everyday remind me over and over again why i married him.. He is so good to me and we are so blessed. SO heres a little update on our little family, we are hoping to be out of here by June or July and are in the midst of trying to sell our home so if you know of anyone wanting to buy send them our way! :)

Our handsome boy.. getting way too big and looking for like daddy everyday! 
( but i do see some of me in him...like maybe his stubbornness but
 dont tell his father i will never admit to that!)
