We don't move like normal people. Sure moves are hard. I've done my fair share of moving. And since we've been married we've moved four times not counting this last one. But still... we don't move like normal people. This move was rough. Something at every single stage went wrong. And mostly they were kind of big things. Like not having anywhere to live. Or paying an extra month of rent because of a mistake, etc. etc. Here's how the last little bit of time in dear old Denver shaped up along with the first few days in Austin.</div>

The last little bit in Denver and the first bit in Austin is kind of a huge blur now but I do remember that it was stressful and that we couldn't have done any of it without our awesome parents.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So this is a good story. After golf and the zoo, Tiffany borrowed my car to go to a family wedding downtown. We had just recently started leaving Jax's carseat in the car and carrying him in and out of the apartment without it and wouldn't ya know it, I totally spaced the fact that his carseat was still in the car. So Chris, Ryan and I were starving and had no way of transporting the baby to dinner (we were dying for Larkburger). Chris decided that we could just take the lightrail that was right by our apartment up three stops to near the restaurant and then walk the rest of the way. So we did. But I also left the stroller in my car. And the baby carrier. So we had to carry Jax the whole way to and from the lightrail stop. It's close-ish... Anyway, the food was way worth it and we had fun feeling like we were big city people in the suburbs of Denver:)</td></tr>

<br />
And since I couldn't go all the way to California for just a weekend, I stayed for ten days with my G'ma. And since I knew it would be even more of a party in Cali if my mom was there, she came out. And since my dad works in L.A. half of the time, of course he came up and joined us. And since Justin and Tyler were in Utah and so close at school, it only made sense for them to come meet up with everyone. And then because Chris was lonely without his stellar wife and adorable baby around he flew out too.<br />
<br />
But seriously, that's kind of how all of the planning actually went down. Molinaro family dominos. So naturally we had a very fun few days on the sunny west coast.<br />

Yes I'm behind. Jax is actually now almost 8 (8?!?!) months old! But this time I have a fabulous excuse. An excuse named Austin. The Texas Austin. And the fact that we moved and are still very much not settled and that life kind of just happened for a while without me being able to write about it.<br />
Anyway, on July 1st Jackson turned 6 months old! This was a tough one for me. How was my cuddly, squishy little baby already a whole half of a year old?? Six is so much older than five and really opens the door right up to seven, eight and so on.<br />
Jax was so fun at this age. Looking back now I can't believe how far he's come since his 6 month birthday but I can also tell that this was the beginning of the big-time fun that was coming soon. I can't imagine my life without these perfect little cheeks.<br />

Does it look like we had a fun weekend? Because boy did we.<br />
Chris and I started the weekend early with a trip downtown to see Les Mis (Merry Christmas to me!) Friday Chris got off work a little bit early and Jax and I met him for some delicious Pho.<br />
We spent Saturday morning wandering around the Cherry Creek Farmers Market with Rebecca and Jason (and didn't take any pictures unfortunately) and then Jax and I played while Chris met up with some friends for a round of golf.<br />
Aren't Sundays the greatest when its a three day weekend? After church we relaxed and enjoyed some family snuggles (Joey included of course) before I threw myself into preparing a Sunday feast complete with some of our favorite foods.<br />
Monday we enjoyed the day off by spending the entire day outside. We met up with the Kellys and Hills at Castlewood Canyon State Park for hiking, creek wading, grilling and soaking up the summer (finally!) sun.<br />
Needless to say, Tuesday morning was a huge bummer. Love this little family on mine!Ashley Bernalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12791059506743271457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252851836089706884.post-60805993572484079052013-05-16T11:27:00.002-07:002013-05-16T11:27:49.387-07:00A Quick Trip to AustinA few weeks ago Chris found out that he had to be down in Texas to train some people in a few different cities. We quickly took advantage of the situation and found me a ticket down for a quick weekend of house hunting. And by house I mean apartment. Hooray for a return to student life! But in all seriousness we are really excited. And we found an awesome place super close to campus! Even though I was only really there for 48ish hours, it was fun to drive around and explore our new home to be.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Moving is hard. As excited as we are for our next chapter, we both had separate moments of sadness where it kind of hit us that we're really leaving Denver. Luckily it's an easy flight and we have friends and family that have promised to visit. And we'll all be together. And that's whats most important.</div>

But they're all adorable so come on!:)<br />
<br />
We are definitely a sports family - that's what happens when your husband knows everything about everything (and I mean everything) going on in the sports world and has even worked for two professional baseball teams as well as one minor league team and one college team.<br />
<br />
So, naturally we've been very excited to take our little American boy to his first baseball game. Lucky for us we got to go with some of our great friends and also lucky for us, we saw an amazing game!<br />
<br />
The night after our red eye back from Hawaii we met up with the group (plus Dane and Aimee in from Boston - hooray!) for dinner at Cafe Rio (of course) and a game on Blake Street between the Rockies and the Rays.<br />

Jax ended up sleeping most of the game and being a tinnnny bit cranky for the rest of it - poor kid was jet lagged and confused about why we went from extremely warm to annoyingly cold in 24 crazy hours. The game was a great Rockies win complete with two home runs, a grand slam and a final score of 9 - 3. Can't wait to go to another one soon!Ashley Bernalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12791059506743271457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252851836089706884.post-82537572598905769232013-05-16T08:44:00.000-07:002013-05-16T08:48:50.434-07:00Four Months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Behind again... Or right on time? Two weeks late seems to be the new normal, at least I'm consistent! Jackson turned four months old on May 1st while we were in Hawaii (post to come soon hopefully!). Time is going wayyyy too quickly but I think this age has been my favorite so far. Over the past several weeks Jax has become tons more alert, interactive and vocal. His little personality is shining though and he is such a happy and easy baby. In his fourth month Jax took his first flights and traveled to Utah and Hawaii like a champ. We are both so obsessed with this little person and miss him when it's bedtime every night. I just can't get enough.<br />

About a month ago we jetted out to Utah (baby Jackson's first flight!) to celebrate Tyler going through the temple for the first time before he goes on his mission in July. We had a blast getting to spend time with family and just being back in Utah for a few days. Here are some of our trip highlights:</div>

Time to brag on my amazing husband - Chris was accepted to the University of Texas MBA Program this week! We are so beyond excited and I am so so proud of him and how hard he worked to get in. We know this is the right thing for our family at this time and couldn't be more grateful that everything has worked out the way that it has.</div>

So this means we will be moving to Austin, Texas sometime this summer! We are both really bummed to be leaving the Denver area and mostly all of our awesome friends but are planning on living it up Colorado style until we pack up and head south. Chris served his mission in the San Antonio, Texas area so he is familiar with the region and has a deep love for Texas and the school. I love the south and am always up for a new adventure! Woohoo!

Well I'm behind again! That didn't take long. I guess it's because I have such a cute little bug to keep me busy! Jackson turned three months old on the first of April. Being a mom is rad. That's all I have to say about that.<br />

We hosted a "wild" party (or at least the neighbors beneath us thought so...whoops!), went on several walks, took in amazing messages from our church's leaders during <a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2013/04?cid=HP000032&lang=eng">General Conference</a>, ate yummy food, kissed yummy baby cheeks, ran fun errands and caught up on some much needed sleep. Three cheers for the weekend!<br />

I love Easter! I love the chance that we have to celebrate and remember the Savior's sacrifice and resurrection. We had such a fun time with Chris's parents and it was great to give them some quality time with their grandson.<br />
I also love the kickoff of Spring even though as I type this, snow is filling up my window outside. "Colorado Spring"...not a fan. Haha Everything is new, everything is fresh and we're headed for summer!

What an amazing and proud experience for me as a wife and mother to these two special boys. I love that we give our babies names and blessings in our church, it makes for such a unique and spiritual occasion.<br />
<br />
We were extremely blessed to have so much family here for the blessing as well - parents, grandparents, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. It was a party, believe me.<br />
<br />
Blessing weekend also included some great food, Jax's first shots (so sad!), a fun and delicious open house, lots and lots of laughs, baby kisses and a quick trip down to Colorado Springs.<br />

I am so thankful for all that I have been blessed with and the amazing, supportive and loving family I come from, married into and am creating for myself. I am endlessly grateful for a strong and dedicated husband who worthily holds the priesthood in our home and was able to give our tiny baby a beautiful blessing full of remarkable promises.

Chris left for Florida today. He'll only be gone a few days unlike a few weeks ago when he was gone for the whole week (ahhhhhh). I must say I LOVE having a little buddy to keep me company while Daddy's away.</div>

I swear this little babe gets cuter and cuter every minute. I could literally eat his sweet cheeks. I can't believe Jax turned two months old on the 1st. He is such a sweet and spunky baby with more personality coming out each day. Sometimes I get emotional just rocking him to sleep or holding him when he cries. He is just already growing too fast, I can't believe it. He is such a joy and amazes and entertains us every single day.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>At Two Months Jax:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weighs in at 11lbs 2 ounces</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is 23 inches long</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got his first shots (SO sad:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loves to suck on his hands, coo and kick his feet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smiles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loves tummy time and can push himself over from front to back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Focuses on things close to him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loves riding in the car, cuddling and sleeping in his bouncer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Has finally outgrown his newborn clothes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is wearing size 1 diapers</div>

This past week was really awesome. Chris was home almost a whole week! (This hasn't happened in months and months). We surprised each other on Valentine's with cupcakes, Wicked tickets and a timbuk2 bag. We emptied our DVR, tested some golf clubs at the local GolfSmith, cleaned the house together and took late night walks with Joey around the apartment complex. We cheered Chris's cousin on in the HS Wrestling State Championships, cooked yummy dinners, enjoyed a great stake conference and found a new A.MA.ZING. burger place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weeks like this make the distance thing seem a little bit more doable. (Just a little though haha). I married an amazing man and I can't wait to see him again on Wednesday.</div>

I escaped right before the blizzard of the decade (18-24") to go meet up with Chris and G'ma J in San Jose! We enjoyed some yummy food, Mission Impossible 4, Carmel, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach, Kara's Cupcakes, the Super Bowl and the ocean of course. I came home to a car buried in snow, a snuggly puppy and a whole lot of the white stuff. We had such a fun weekend and I will definitely be escaping the snow for the beach again soon! Thanks for a great weekend G'ma!</div>Ashley Bernalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12791059506743271457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252851836089706884.post-36202432494598677992012-02-12T17:47:00.000-08:002012-02-12T17:47:57.014-08:00We'll Be Back, New York!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
