Another Conran baby will make it's way here January 29th of 2014. I realize my picture is confusing... It's supposed to read Jan. of '14. Obviously I'm not having a baby in Jan of '13... duh! I should have just put my due date but I didn't. I'm 15 weeks and ready for the constant queasiness to be over... but grateful for it too!Lori and Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508754761932276669noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113256550730727353.post-45291863038637539972013-08-06T09:17:00.000-06:002013-08-06T09:17:17.154-06:00{7.26} To St Louis we go<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back in March Matt mentioned that maybe he would start applying for new jobs. That wasn't our original plan. At least 3 years at BISSELL was what our intentions were. I said ok thinking the job search is a long process. A couple weeks later, after some great phone interviews and vague talks of fly-outs a recruiter from Nestle Purina contacted Matt asking if he was interested in a career change and if he'd apply for one of their positions. He did and 2 days later had a phone screen. The next week they flew him out and 2 days after that he had a great offer and 72 hours to decide yes or no!<br />

It went so crazy fast we didn't have much time to wrap our heads around it. Our prayers had been that we would be led to a great opportunity for both Matt and our family. I know that we were. We accepted the offer and plans were made to start the 478 mile move.<br />

We moved from Rockford, MI on July 26th. Even being here in MO for 10 days now I'm not sure it's fully hit me yet that I've left that life back in Michigan. We're so grateful for the Lord's hand in our life and His constant care of our family. On Matt's last day at BISSELL there were 5 people laid off from the marketing department and his line of products were transferred to another division. Would Matt have gone with them? Would he have been laid off? We'll never know- but we do know that we're in a great spot here. (Although the perks aren't quite as usable for us... he's on the 'cat snack' line. A cat is NOT in our future!) I'm hoping the Nestle side of the company has some good things for me... bulk baking chips anyone?<br />

After MBA school we prayed and prayed for a good job for Matt in a good location to raise our family. BISSELL, Grand Rapids and Rockford more than answered those prayers. We were blessed with great friends and an awesome ward. Taylor's school was awesome and I have no complaints about our time there. Some of our really good friends threw a going away party for us and it was so nice to see everyone and say good bye. We'll sure cherish the friendships and memories we made here.</div>

Brayden LOVES to play golf. It's really awesome to watch. He's a lefty which makes it even more fun! He'll go out daily and just swing this clubs around, sometimes without even a ball. A new game the boys have started is Taylor playing 'caddy' for him. We got Brayden a nice set of left handed golf clubs for his birthday so it has the carrying strap and everything. Taylor helps him set up his shot and tries to critique ever shot.</div>

After his bike ride he was in fifth, but was pretty beat by then. His running partner, Elijah, came to his rescue and pushed him hard on the run. I met up with him with 1/4 mile left. Taylor was really tired but didn't stop and finished strong. He came in 7th overall!</div>

Brayden's age group was 0-5 so lots of parents were in the water helping their kids swim. I was so proud Bray swam the whole thing. The other three kids that beat him in the swim all had noodles or life jackets.</div>

This is our second installment of our July 4th camping trip. This year we went a little closer to our home, only 45 minutes away from us, in Grand Haven, MI. It was so fun! We spent most of our time at the beach relaxing but had some fun activities sprinkled in: bike parade, disc golf game for the guys, hiking, snake show, firework watching and ice cream.<br />

He really does love it. A few months ago when we were reading it there was a picture of a girl in a tree reading the friend.

As luck would have it, 5 of us from the BYU MBA class of 2011 moved within 2 hours from each other. It's been a life saver! I've really enjoyed Michigan, but knowing that I get to see these old friends every once in a while brings a comfort I can't explain. Two of the families were in Grand Rapids a few weeks ago (and 2 of us live here) so we hosted an impromptu BBQ. It's so refreshing to reconnect every time we see them! The kids set up their chairs to eat out back. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiio7tKekfrkpgGyoK1osvXP3f1sNOVII7IhDAIc5MSaU-XA4MM-sbc_xVDH5Xrh12o7zU8kCCsnqIBqVwtZtTUPVtz41NtkEv_VzmBwfAO9pCHWpT2TIbug0DBSeA375C6pFjNy2ekeCQq/s640/blogger-image--1528397659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiio7tKekfrkpgGyoK1osvXP3f1sNOVII7IhDAIc5MSaU-XA4MM-sbc_xVDH5Xrh12o7zU8kCCsnqIBqVwtZtTUPVtz41NtkEv_VzmBwfAO9pCHWpT2TIbug0DBSeA375C6pFjNy2ekeCQq/s640/blogger-image--1528397659.jpg" /></a></div>

In downtown we have a big dam in the river and you can pay to jump in the water to show your love for someone. I guess it's for a good cause because it's really cold and I don't think we'll be entering anytime soon! They have to break the layer of ice to have a spot to jump in.

And you got to open presents for it too! :) This last month you spent some time in Colorado and you were AWESOME on the flight. That was really nice. You got to play with your cousin Rex again- although you two didn't play together all that much. You take two naps a day, usually 2 + hours each.

You didn't mind it too much and I even drew your whiskers and nose on while you slept. You sleep in your car seat so good! I love it! You'll sit through at least 1 1/2 hours of church in it. Your brothers still can;t get enough of you. You've started to like baths now. I'm not sure what changed but you used to SCREAM anytime I laid you down in the water and would only want to take showers. You're starting to move your legs in the water and you laugh when the water rushes back up by your head. you"re still nursing 4 solid times a day, but solid foods are realy peaking your interest.Lori and Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508754761932276669noreply@blogger.com0
