For the Love of Fish

Bryce loves fish. This is how we spent one evening last week:

{First, you catch the fish in a net. Next, you put them in the bucket.}

{Then, you get a really tight grip on them.}

{Last, you measure their jaw; both top and bottom}

{The result: one happy man!}

 I think Bryce could spend all day and all night talking and/or thinking about fish! He just loves them! I will admit I do not quite understand it, but I will also admit that I am glad he has something he loves so much. It is great that he is making a career out of something he is so passionate about. The above pictures are taken at a USU fish research facility in Millville. Bryce was collecting jaw measurements for some undergraduate research he is doing. Lucky Trevor was his little helper for the evening. I think they had fun. I sure complain about fish a lot, but I am so proud of everything Bryce is involved with! 

You are the best, honey!

 

Cobbler and Games

Several weeks ago we had Sam and Alex Spendlove come to our house for some cobbler. We played a little Qwirkle while they were over. It was a fun little date night. Just wanted to document :) Thanks Sam and Alex for the fun!!

 

Mothers Day

This mothers day was a nice one. Sweet Bryce gave me some wonderful summer decorations for our house.

I have actually been wanting the ladder for years! Literally!! There is a different packet for each holiday and season and they each have different things you hang on the ladder.  It was a super thoughtful gift! I can't wait to get some packets so I can put it out on our porch! On Mothers Day we were able to see both of our moms, which was great! We love them both so much! Mothers Day is a special day for women. All women should celebrate it. Women are mothers by nature. Whether they have kids or not is of little consequence. I am grateful to be a women and I'm excited for the new adventure of motherhood that will soon be mine. I am sure I still don't even know the extent of what being a "mom" really means, but I cannot wait! I sure love this active, little guy inside me! I can't wait to hold him and love him! 

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in our lives!

 

Baby Boy Roholt

My awesome mom and sisters threw the little man and me a shower last weekend. It was perfect! Everything was so nicely put together and looked just great! We had a good turn out, too! It was fun to see so many family members and friends! Baby Boy sure got spoiled! Bryce and I are so grateful for the love and support that our family and friends have shown us! Thanks to everyone that came to the shower and thank you for your generosity!!
We appreciate you more than you know!

 With less than 5 weeks until D Day, reality is really starting to sink in! I am still feeling very good, though I am getting more uncomfortable as the days go by. Bryce has been sweet and supportive through it all. I am lucky I have him! We can't wait to meet this little man that we have been preparing for!

 

GREAT news!!

I have a fun announcement to make... 

I got a new job!! 

Yes, it is true! Here I am, due with a baby in less than five weeks, and I am making a career change. Crazy, yes! But, worth it, YES!! The position is a 30 hour position in the College of Agriculture at Utah State. I will be advising students in the aviation program and assisting faculty and staff in the Technology and Engineering Education program. I am extremely excited about the people I will be working with, and I can't wait to work with the students! As far as I can tell, it is a win, Win, WIN situation! Our prayers have been answered! I start the new position June 1. Wish me luck!! :)

 

Typical Day

Friday. On campus for work and school. Arms full and ready to conquer the busy day. Typical day in the life of a Roholt :) 

 

Birthday Boy

Bryce's birthday was on April 13. Twenty-four big ones!! We were up on the 12th pretty late so we decided to stay up until it was officially his birthday. I told him he should open his gift, but I would not let him open it until it was officially April 13. 

{3 minutes and counting}

{Such excitement}

{I think this means he likes it?}

{Ready to hike the Uintahs all summer}

Bryce has had his eye on this pack since Christmas. He said he needed something he could haul all his gear in when he works for the Division of Wildlife this summer. He is ready to go now! Later on in the evening we had our family over for some cake and ice cream. All members of both of our families made it! It was so nice to see them all! It was pretty low key but it was fun to celebrate Bryce! Bryce got some Mt. Dew and Coke (our family knows him well), tennis shoes, fishing stuff, and a cool mosquito repellant contraption. Thanks for all the love and support, family!

{Happy Birthday Bryce!!}

{He got them all out!}

I hope you had a great day Bryce! 

You are so special and I love you very much!
