Reed Boy

Well my friends, you're about to be overcome with photos of our little guy. New baby + new slr camera = LOTS OF PICTURES. Hopefully you won't get sick of it!

The last 12 days have been amazing with this sweet boy. I couldn't ask for a better baby. While becoming a stay-at-home-mom requires some adjusting (and sleep deprivation), I am blessed to have a boy that makes it pretty easy for me. He sleeps like an angel (2 4-hour stretches last night!), couldn't be cuter if he tried, loves to snuggle with his mama, and is an all-around good boy. I am IN LOVE.

I tortured him with a sponge bath yesterday and he wore himself out crying. Here's the aftermath. See what I mean about sleeping like an angel?










Chillin in his bouncer. He likes it in here.


Love to kiss these little fingers and toes.




Of course, no post would be complete without mentioning our Suns. Can you believe that win last night?! Even Reed was in on the action. Thanks Uncle Justin for the outfit!

Define "Craziness"

In the past month Candace and I have faced:

• Rennovations on the kitchen, laundry room, guest bathroom, and master bathroom (imagine 2-4 workers in your house 5 days a week)
• Candace deciding to quit her job instead of taking maternity leave
• Curtis applying and interviewing for multiple jobs
• Finals
• MBA Graduation

• Curtis accepting a position as Phoenix Account Manager with Crexendo Web Marketing
• Preparing to move to Arizona
• Purchase of a car
• the arrival of our son, Reed!!

It has been CRRRRAZZY!

Cbug's Aunt Jenn said, "I was thinking of you guys and a psychology class I took in college came to mind. We learned that the most stressful things in life include searching for a job, starting a new job, moving, rennovating, and having a baby. You guys are doing all of that at once!" Jenn, don't forget the stress of finals or buying a car!

Luckily, we've had a lot of support from friends and family during this time.

With your help, we've been able to remain hopeful and see many blessings develop. Thank you to all of you who have shown us support and love. Your kindness has inspired us.

While I'm thinking of all of the amazing things people have done for us, I can't help but brag about my mother-in-law Denise and my mom Diane. Denise, who invites us over every week for wonderful Sunday dinners, was with Cbug and I all night and morning as Reed was born. Candace tells me Denise was a big help at his birth and in her recovery. Denise is constantly checking on us and bringing over goodies.

My mom could not wait to fly out to hold Reed. Typical of my mom, she did a lot more than hold Reed. She spent most of her time in Provo packing boxes for our move to Chandler and cleaning our home. As much as we wanted her to slow down and relax during her visit, she was on a mission.

I start training tomorrow in Orem and then we pack and move next week. We'll miss all of the good people in Provo and the fun activities enjoyed here. See you in AZ!

He Loves His Daddy

After telling jokes and stories...

...its naptime!

BABIES DON'T GET ANY CUTERRRR!

Reed Curtis Heyman

Born 8:34 am on May 14, 2010 in Orem, UT. He's 7lbs 7oz and 20 inches. I came home from fly fishing yesterday and Cbug said she was having steady contractions. We checked into the hospital at 10:30pm. She was dialated to a 4 and after 2 hours of doing laps around the hospital, her contractions became more serious.

She gave birth naturally and did a wonderful job. A nurse said that in 10 years of doing her work, Candace is in the top 5 best natural births. I know that made Candace feel good. She began pushing at 5:30am; we were up all night and are recovering with Reed in our arms now.

Reed has a fair amount of brown hair, the color of Candace's. His eyes are a dark blue. He looks and acts 100% healthy. He loves to snuggle and I don't know if its possible to love something more than how much we love him.

I couldn't be happier. I'm so proud of Candace hanging in there and we feel so blessed to have Reed in our lives. Thank you for your prayers and support. We'll post pictures asap.

That's Wacky!

I randomly came across this video today of Curbo at Christmas time with our little niece, Kate (or CupKate as Cur likes to call her). It's kind of a long one but it made me think about what an amazing father Curtis will be. He's accomplished so much in his life, I feel priviledged to be his wife. He's smart, talented, could sell ice to an Eskimo, funny, patient, the KING of nick-naming, generous, creative, kind, loving, a teriffic husband, an MBA grad (post on that coming soon!) and soon to be an incredible dad. He's all I could ask for and more.


Here's to the next chapter of our life together! I love you, Curtis!

Birthday Bug

In case you haven't heard, its Cbug's birthday. We started the celebration on Friday, however, as the Birthday Princess insists her birthday is really a "birthweek". As you desire, Cbug!


I really am so lucky to be married to Candace. She has a number of unique qualities that make her such a wonderful woman.


Maybe you've heard of the book "The 5 Love Languages". It details how people like to show and receive love in particular ways. Candace's FAVORITE way to show and receive love is through QUALITY TIME. It is crazy how she loves being near me and cherishes her time with me.

She will do ANYTHING I will do. For example, a few years ago I decided to take a night class (economics) at a community college. Cbug would drive from Phoenix to Mesa after a busy work day just to sit next to me during class and hold my hand! THAT is love!

Not very many women will setup a folding chair along a river on a cold November day just to watch her husband fish....


...but my Cbug does!


We always have a fun time doing things together.


Even though she's a girly girl, she can handle herself just fine with the boys.






Candace is extremely bright. She graduated from a top 3 interior design program and I regularly hear from her peers how talented she is.

She's also a very hard worker. There are few things she can't do!

Another unique thing about Candace is her authenticity and sincerity. She is true to those things and people that matter most. She does not waiver. How rare in today's society to stay true and committed!

From time to time, people ask me, "How did you trick her into putting up with you?"

Well, one thing is for sure. She knows how to dish it out, too!

I'm so glad I married this woman. She is going to be the best mother....

...cuz she's already the best wife!

Internet Ninja

Some of you are aware of my love for interneting. Ever since Al Gore practically invented the world wide web, I've been fascinated with all that can be accomplished online. I've been a blogger for over 5 years, a hard core youtuber, a tweeter, a facebooker, and I found my wife online!

My latest project involves my friend, Robert Kempton, and his pool repair company North Star Pools. I, along with 2 other MBA classmates, am competing in the Crexendo Online Marketing Competition. We were challenged with building a website for a company in 6 weeks. Robert and I have a history of working together as a dynamite team, so you know our website has GOT to be rockin!


The competition ends tomorrow and we find out April 9th what group wins the $8000 grand prize. You can really help us by:
