As of Late

2012-01-27T12:30:00.002-05:00

Well here is the furniture and part of the bedding design for his nursery. I am trying to get everything put together so I can take real pictures and put them on here. I will also update with belly pictures when I am home with them. I am getting really excited! We have 6 weeks left! I can't belive that we are on the final stretch! :)

293 group

Avery receiving his award for being V.P. in his class

more of being sworn in with the group.

I am so proud of Avery that he stuck it through and passed it all and he can now go on to do his life long dream! :) I was super proud of seeing him standing up there and how far he has come. I know at one time I was telling him to put it off longer but he kept it in his mind that he wanted to and I am grateful! I know he will make a fantastic cop and I will have to learn to get used to the lifestyle a police officer wife lives but I am just as excited!

Temple Square

2011-12-18T09:46:00.002-05:00

We went to temple square on Wednesday night with sister and it was so beautiful. I don't think I have been up in a really long time and I sure did love every minute of it! I am so glad we walked through the cold so we could enjoy the scenery!

Random Thoughts

2011-12-02T13:20:00.002-05:00

I am sitting at work having millions of things running through my mind and some of them I want to share with all of you!

I have 99 days left in my pregnancy, that is just 3 months away. I think it is settling in more that I will have my sweet boy in my arms much sooner than I thought.

Avery has 8 days left of post. Which is still 2 weeks but he is almost done and I could not be any happier! I am so ready to have him home to help me out with me working full time and trying to juggle everthing right now its hard.

The snow that is falling. I think that December 1, welcomed in winter. I am alright with it just not a fan of the ice on the roads.

I have put the determination in me to be more organized and on a schedule and not over push myself to get things done. I have a Family Management binder that I made to help me accomplish it. I will start it next week.

I am looking forward to Avery's Graduation to acutally see him in uniform. Since I have yet to.....(I like day dreaming about it somedays:P)

When I go up for Avery's Graduation I will officially finish my christmas shopping and just have to wrap it all! I am proud that I will be done.

I have planned a menu for when he comes home as well since I haven't had to cook for the last 4 months hardly, let me tell you what it was hard! I couldn't get the ides to come to me easy enough. But I managed to the end of December.

I love my active little Guy in my belly I am sure I will love him even more when he is born.

I have told people that I haven't hardly been an emotional mess with being pregnant. But after I have been saying this the last little bit I think a good cry on the hubby's shoulder tonight is sounding great! :)

I hope everyone is doing well, keeping safe and warm during this winter time!

18, 19, 20, 21

2011-11-21T11:49:00.001-05:00

Day 19- I am grateful for the decent weather we have been having here during this month. Really we can't complain, it may be a bit colder but it hasn't snowed much which makes it easier.

Day 20- I am grateful for the past experiences and trials I have had that have made me the person I am today. The struggles I have had sure have helped me mature and grow up. I am grateful for every single one of them and I am grateful for the ways they have blessed me.

Day 21-I am grateful for each day further that I make it in this pregnancy. I am grateful that it has become much easier, although there is still linger thoughts that I have that won't allow myself to do certain things. I just hope baby boy continues to grow!

Day 16
I am grateful for the beautiful temple that we have right in our back yards and the opportunity to be able to go just about any time that I want. I love that I have the choice and it so close that I do not have to travel. I love the peace that comes within those walls and for the many blessings it has given to me and continues to give me!

Day 17
I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to be able to attend my meetings and to be able to feel encouraged from the messages given. I love when the spirit is there and is giving you inspiration.

Days 13 and 14

2011-11-14T16:19:00.002-05:00

Day 13- I am grateful for my husbands job. In this ecomnomy right now, it is hard to find a job. I know that it is only part time for the time being but we will work our way to full time! I am glad he can help provide and support our family!

Day 14-I am grateful for my job! I love the kids I am around and when they give me compliments. I am also grateful that I have some where I feel like I am needed, and I belong. I love the people I work with as well.

Days 10, 11, and 12

2011-11-12T09:22:00.002-05:00

Day 10
I am grateful for the wood that my family helped get for us, since I am not allowed to! I know it will do its job in keeping us warm this winter! :)

Day 11

Day 12
I am grateful that Avery has a job, ever since he quit Dish our lives have been quite peaceful, and He has been much happier!

Day 8 & 9

2011-11-09T12:42:00.002-05:00

Day 8
I am grateful for my husband who stepped up while I was on bed rest and did the majority of chores. I had to do some laundry from our trip this last weekend and I am still trying to get everything put away and done! It has been a CHORE! I am also trying to come down with a nasty cold so resting and sleep is something I am needing. Which makes it hard to want to clean and get things done.

Day 9
I am grateful for my job although some days are a little stressful I love being around the kids. I will be sad when the day comes that I decide I am done.

Day 7

2011-11-07T12:51:00.001-05:00

I am thankful for the beautiful slow falling snow that reminds me of Gods beauties. I do not like when it is freezing outside and the wind is blowing and it is snowing. I will take snow any day of the week as long as it slowly falls to the ground. I do like the winter time as long as I am warm, all thanks to my stacked and split wood:)

Day 6

2011-11-07T12:50:00.001-05:00

I am grateful for the opportunity I just had to go up and see Avery. I am so very grateful it is not me commuting each and every week to go to training. It really made me think that I like being able to go over to my parents after he leaves and not be alone. But after I dropped him off and headed home I was LONELY! I am so glad we have less than 6 weeks left. But I am grateful to see my husband every weekend!

Day 5

2011-11-07T12:48:00.002-05:00

I am grateful I was obstinate in getting the tires I wanted in May that may have cost a little bit more but they work wonders in the wet snowy conditions we are having right now. I am so glad I don't feel like I am sliding all over the road and I feel like I have control of my car. I am also grateful to have a car right now. I want a new one some day but this little old car gets me where I need to be and is reliable. It also is paid off so I can't complain.

Day 4

2011-11-07T12:46:00.000-05:00

I am grateful for my wonderful mom and dad who feed me all the time. I could start cooking for myself but then I would be all alone every night! I love that I can go over to their house and have all the company I want! I am grateful for all the help that they have given me with me being pregnant this time around! I LOVE them! I also love my sisters too who come and visit me and do crafts with me if I ask!

Day 3

2011-11-03T11:19:00.004-04:00

I am grateful to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I had 12-16 young men and their leaders at my house last night splitting and stacking the wood that my family got us earlier in the year. I am so grateful that we do service for people and we are willing to do it. I know that I am very very grateful to them!

Thankful Post

2011-11-02T14:13:00.002-04:00

I am going to write every single day one thing that I am thankful for until Thanksgiving. I missed yesterday so i will post two today.
1- I am grateful for my husband and our eternal marriage in the temple.

2- I am grateful to the Lord for the beautiful son he has blessed me with.

Avery & I

2011-10-24T12:24:00.002-04:00

Avery finished his first block of POST 3 weeks ago and is 3 weeks into the second block. We have 7 weeks left and I hope that we both survive it! I know it is getting more intense for him, but he is doing well. I am ready to see him every day and night of the week and be done with this weekend business! I am glad that he is able to come home but at the same time its stressful. It makes him not want to go back and me not want him to leave. Although, its good for him to be away. He is the Vice President of his block and they all wanted him to be the President but he didn't...what a silly guy! He is loosing a lot of weight and getting in shape which is what he has been trying to do for a long time! (if you want to loose weight and get in shape go to post)

I am just taking it easy and doing all the bill paying and going to work. I am still not doing too much cleaning. :) I am trying to figure out our budget and to get things on track for the baby but it is hard when you haven't been able to encourage your old budget from being on bed rest. I already said most about me in the 20 week post.

Over all we are getting through it all some how and next week I am going to see him in SLC and go shopping for baby boy!

20 Weeks!

2011-10-24T12:18:00.003-04:00

The first picture I didn't share on Face Book because I feel huge. I think it didn't help that I had on TIGHT leggings and they helped push my fat up! LOL I also had on a maternity dress so I look more pregnant. I still look tiny and haven't gained a whole lot but I am ok with it! I am doing good and so is little boy! I have my 20 week ultra sound tomorrow and I am a little anxious! I am so glad that I am half way done, but I still have quite a bit more left ahead of me. I have been feeling better and some other parts I have been dealing with have died down so I think my hemorrhage is just getting better! :) Little boy is so active and I LOVE feeling him move. That is all! On to the next 20 weeks!

2 Years

2011-10-10T12:44:00.002-04:00

Happy Anniversary to Avery and I we have made it 2 whole years. It seems as yesterday that we were kneeling across the alter in the temple. Making our vows for eternity. I am so grateful that he asked me and I said yes. I am so grateful that he has been an amazing husband and friend. I am so grateful that he has stepped up while I have had to step down during our marriage right now. I am grateful that he doesn't complain when I ask him to do the things I need. He is so willing to help and I appreciate it so much. I love when he surprises me although I hate when he tells me he has a surprise and makes me wait for too long. I love his strong testimony in the gospel and his willingness to serve. I am grateful we have dates and go to the temple and enjoy ourselves. I LOVE that he holds his priesthood worthly. Baby boy and I have had some blessings because we have needed them and he has been able to give them to us. I am so grateful for my best friend and I am looking forward to MANY more years! I just want to give a shot out to my wonderful husband Avery. I LOVE you so much and I am grateful for everything!

Oh BOY!!!!

2011-09-28T14:48:00.003-04:00

I went to the Dr. yesterday and I found out that Avery and I are expecting a sweet baby boy in March. I was laying there on the ultrasound bed and the Dr. was checking everything with the baby's spine and heartbeat. I told him that I wanted to know what we were expecting and he started looking around and asked me what I saw when he saw what it was. I said its a PENIS! Then the Dr. says "congrats you're having a boy" I honestly wanted to cry at first because I wanted a girl but we will take a sweet baby boy.
I have only gained 3 pounds but I will take it:) Less than a pound a month, I hope that we don't gain a ton of weight in the next little while. I am excited that baby boy will have some nephews to play with and also friends because I know several people who just had boys are expecting boys around the same time as me. I guess its time to start shopping and planning every thing.

What is going on in our world

2011-09-12T10:35:00.003-04:00

Here I am at 3 months, I feel like 3 months have flown by but then I sit and think that I was on bed rest for 3 weeks and it was LONG and SLOW. I was able to go back to work last week but had an incident where I was required to take this week off and be on bed rest for at least another week. I hope that is all that the Dr. requires, I liked being at work and I left my sub in a total mess:( I am feeling fine we have a doctors appt tomorrow and I am excited to see the baby again:) I love how much I have gotten to see our sweet blessing! Lately there has been more days that I feel bloated than pregnant. I enjoy knowing that I will have a sweet little one in less than six months! :)

Right now Avery is in P.O.S.T. he can come home on the weekends, and I enjoy getting to see him! I have been eating at my mom and dads every night:P. He said some of the work outs are hard but I know he can push through and make it! It is very entertaining to listen to what he learned that week and I enjoy it:)

I do know the Lord knows our plans, that he has for us. We had found out that Ave got the police job 1 and a half weeks before he had to be to P.O.S.T. and we knew he still had to get funding approved. We had 8 days to get it approved and we just kept earnestly praying that if he was supposed to go to P.O.S.T. now that the Lord would allow it. (if he didn't go to this session he would be there for the birth of the baby) Ave called me the LAST morning possible that they could approve his funding and it had been. I knew the Lord wanted ave then and there to go. I am so grateful that he let him go this session and not next!

ER visit

2011-08-23T16:01:00.002-04:00

While we were in Parowan Avery and I ended up in the ER at the IHC in Cedar City. It was not very fun to say the least with needles and everything else. Also the LONG wait for it all. I did not enjoy my IV they put in and I hope to never have another until it is time to deliver this baby! We are so grateful our sweet baby is ok and things are looking good besides the tear that I am on bed rest for. I have made it 9 days down with 9 left until our doctors visit. I sure hope it continues to go QUICK! I also wanted to make a shout out to those who have brought us dinner and visited me. I appreciate it SO much! Love you all!

3 weeks

2011-08-17T09:53:00.002-04:00

Here is our bean at 7w4d. Right now we are 9w5d.

I get to lay in bed for at least 3 weeks...I am bed rest and it is just lovely. Avery and I are pregnant for those of you who read my blog. We are almost 10 weeks along. I am having some complications and I am trying to do all that I can to keep my baby in there and healthy. Avery has been so strong and so good to me while I cannot do anything. My mother has also been fantastic with cooking us yummy dinners and filling my lovely pregnancy cravings! This was not how we wanted to tell all of our siblings and family. But we have asked them to pray for us. I really hope that I can be off bed rest in 3 weeks and go back to work. It has been so hard for me to not go to work the first day of school this year:/ I feel so helpless and dumb. I have been grateful for the visitors that I have had the last few days I just wish I could see my mom and sister more! (HINT) I sure hope that this clears up and goes away. I just remind myself constantly that I have to accept that God will bless us how he sees fit and I have to remember this sweet spirit we have in our home is from him. This has made me much closer to him and I am grateful for it.

Briggz

2011-08-05T10:43:00.005-04:00

sweet baby Briggz! We went up to pick my ring up from the jewelers and come see you! You are so precious and sweet! I am so glad that your mom let me snuggle you for a whole day and a half! I wish I could snuggle you some more! :) Congrats Candice & Dunc!

My Birthday

2011-08-05T10:37:00.003-04:00

This year for my birthday Avery got me flowers and I picked out a wii fit board. I love it! I haven't been on it much this last month...We also got new tires for the car and holy cow I LOVE them!!! They are AA rated for traction and I can tell when I was driving in the Canyon to SLC and it was POURING! I am so glad I went with these tires!! I was spoiled my mom made me dinner for my sister and I. Thanks, Avery! :)

June

2011-08-05T09:41:00.006-04:00

In June Jaimie and I were able to go out and visit my nanny family. It was a lot of fun. The plane flight was a red eye, we got to NY early and went to rent a car...well that fell through. So then we decided to just take the subway system and get to grand central and then get a taxi ride home. The taxi cab that was first to take us refused....the second one took us finally. It was very eventful carrying HEAVY suitcases up several flights of stairs. We got home to our house and it is absolutely stunning. We went up stairs and just shared a room the whole time we were there. We had the house to ourselves when we go there so we laid down and took a nap. Later we went swimming and had a BLAST!!! We did a lot of swimming there, I wish that I had a pool. My sweet friend Senia was working her last week in Greenwich and her nanny family had a car for her to drive the kids around in so she let us use her car. I am grateful and will be forever grateful!!! We went and DD and several other places that aren't here in Utah and it was a lot of fun. Our week was very eventful! One night Anne got us tickets to go and see a Broadway show called Anything Goes. It was pretty funny, it had some adult humor in it. I also was not surprised that Axel was taller than I and that Isabel has turned into a beautiful young girl. She loves clothes and Make up and nail polish. Axel could do some awesome hula hooping tricks, one consisted hula hooping while going down the zip line. PRETTY SWEET! It was such a fun trip and I am glad that they let me come visit for awhile. I hope to go back again soon! 2 Years was WAYYYY too long!

My New Hair!

2011-06-04T00:12:00.004-04:00

This last week my Sister died my hair for me and it was the 1st time in my whole life! I feel so grown up:)

HaPpY BiRtHdAy AvErY!!

2011-05-10T11:49:00.002-04:00

Happy Birthday Honey! I love you so much! I am really excited each year when I get to celebrate with you! I hope this year you enjoy your birthday and have fun cooking on you grill I got you! I am so glad that I get to spend many more birthday's to come with you! Hope your day is filled with love and what you want! (even though you are working)

Easter

2011-05-06T12:25:00.005-04:00

Happy Easter! I am sorry this post is late! Avery and I had a ton of fun dying easter eggs! We had several colors this year! We didn't get to go out and roll them though because the weather was rainy all day. We are truly grateful for the real purpose of Easter and the gift from Christ.

Days

2011-04-12T16:19:00.002-04:00

I am wondering if I am the only one that has days like today....work at the school has been lovely(NOT) I just can't seem to get the things at my house done. I hate showing my house off to people because there are areas that are not just clutter. They are PURE mess! I have no kids, but I just can't seem to keep up with all the work of the house. I didn't have a problem before but now, I just can't see, to contain it all. I have days where I NEED to go home and I know I NEED to get something done but I do not have the energy/desire to do it. I need to get with the program I am just having a hard time staying motivated....some day I guess. Just like someday I will have kids, my own home and good job and a happy life....someday

Uncle Jon

2011-04-07T11:34:00.003-04:00

Five years have passed since we saw you last. You were an amazing man and we love you so much! You were a special spirit in the family. There are days I miss hearing your deep hearty laugh. But thank heavens, your daughter inherited that and can share it with us. I miss your delicious cooking. I know that we will all be able to see you again, as long as we live the right way. Thanks for your amazing example. I LOVE YOU!

First Hot Dog Roast

2011-04-07T11:26:00.003-04:00

This is our first hot dog roast for the season, I am looking forward to several more! :) We had a lot of fun taking the suburban out for a drive as well:)

2011-03-18T10:41:00.004-04:00

I have finished the main parts of our house! I do not have the spare room or office done! I am working on them slowly. They will come eventually. I hope that you all enjoy:)

2011-03-07T11:46:00.005-05:00

Here is a sneak peek at some of my house.

It is a dinning room wall.

I know I am SLACKING big time! I have been so super busy with trying to get the house completely finished and etc. I am ALMOST done! YAY! I have some homework that I've GOT to finish THIS week!!! Just Saturday I did a load of laundry with 2 towels and a blanket....turns out the blanket and washer did not get along. I now have blanket fibers by the millions in my washer and I cannot use my washer...BLEH! It is brand new and stupid what can I do?

Avery and I are doing great loving our space and I am back to my OCD and cleaning ALL the time! I love to clean it is therapeutic but I do not like to always do it all by myself! Avery and I moved as you all know and we switched wards, we are happy and sad.

Grateful

2011-02-16T16:55:00.003-05:00

I am feeling so blessed right now. I know that the lord is answering some of my prayers and I cold not be happier! We have had our ears open to anything that could be the thing we need and finally we have found it! Avery and I are moving out of my parents basement and into a house in town. We are not building just yet but we are still planning on it. The house that we are moving into has GREAT storage and a huge yard! I will have to post pictures when we actually move in and get everything set up. I think next week will be the BIG move week. I am so excited to have my own place again! I am so grateful to my parents for putting up with us for 10 months!

Sledding

2011-01-23T11:43:00.002-05:00

We went sledding this last week on Monday because Jordan wanted to go! So we went the Elementary school because the other places were too far or not enough snow. We had some fun then went home and ate some yummy soup!

Jr Jazz

2011-01-09T11:12:00.003-05:00

This last year I coached Jordan's Jr. Jazz team, it was a little stressful at times and others it was quite enjoyable. Other than one coach teaching his girls to be poor sports, scratching and elbowing, and holding on to the ball everytime they could grab it, the games were not to bad.... I got yelled at a couple of times from parent's that were not any of my girls parents, but I am over it! I Loved my girls! :)

I am also wondering why my family is SLACKING on posting anything???

1 YEAR!

2010-12-09T23:37:00.005-05:00

2010-10-18T10:52:00.003-04:00

This is my fav pic from our special day!

I am a little late on posting about our 1 year mark. I have been playing catch up with homework all last week and taking a lot of tests and catching up at work. Avery and I went out of town and took some vacation time. I did not take the camera so we do not have anything special to post about it sadly. On our last day on the trip we were both up sick the night before we were leaving. It was not very fun! I LOVE Avery so very much and I am so glad that he is mine! I am grateful for him and the patience that he has with me when I am stressed out. I love when he helps with the laundry and other chores we have. He is a wonderful husband. I just want to say I LOVE HIM! Thanks for the first year looking forward to MANY more!

ONE YEAR

2010-10-18T10:52:00.000-04:00

School

2010-09-02T10:53:00.003-04:00

My lovely husband and I have both started school again this semester! He has more credits than me, but I am ok with that:) I know that we will both do great we are taking a math class together and I am so grateful he is helping me! Life is crazy for us right now, we are still living in my parents basement but soon I think we will get to start on our house! WHOO:D We just keep working away to finish the amount we need for our down payment. Oh and a piece of land:) That is what is holding us back pretty much but in die time it will come! I sure do love my husband! He has been SUCH a great helping hand! The last few weeks he is the one who is folding the laundry I have been lucky enough to just get it washed! But he steps up and helps I LOVE it! He is great, I am so glad I have someone who is willing to help out and to make sure things are going smoothly! P.S. I wish my hair was this long again! :)

DALLAS:)

2010-08-31T11:11:00.003-04:00

Dallas was ALOT of fun and a great learning experience. I am so glad I was able to go! I just wish I could get my butt back in gear and do some more awesome Mary kay stuff! It would not let me load anymore pics on so I may throw a few on in a day or two! But for now enjoy what is here!

Our motel

We were waiting in line to go out on the stage! So much fun!

AMAZING decorations!!!

this was the breakfast hall they had some yummy food!

This is where we picked up our FREE new fall line! Coming out Spetember 15!

the roomies all prettied up for the party night! :)

The motel had glass elevators which I thought was awesome of course! I had to get a picture of the cool star below we were on the 12th floor and the night we got all pretty there actually happend to be a fire in our building on our floor. Someone put the cigarette butt in the SILK flowers and they caught kick and spred to all the ones lower! We had 5 fire trucks there and we had to use the stairs to get out!!! In long formal dresses we climbed down 24 sets of stairs to get out...that was a pain! I will not forget it that is for sure!

Kathy and I at dinner one night!

I always make posts that are so very random! Most of the time it is all the same!!! Sorry but I will update you with the new stuff! Avery is still working away he is now working with my dad on the days that he does not work for dish, which will be nice to add to the savings account!

2010-06-10T10:28:00.003-04:00

Avery and I have made it for 8 months! We are doing great, working like fools and I am still in school! Some day I would like to be done but I have a few years at least before that can happen! Avery and I fall in love with each other more and more each day! He is my best friend in the whole wide world! He is so silly sometimes and I LOVE it! He can tell when I am grumpy, and asks me to change, but it isn't always easy. I love when we get to spend time with just us and enjoy ourselves. I LOVE him so much and we are so blessed to have each other for eternity:)

Our Trip

2010-05-25T11:14:00.002-04:00

This last week Avery was at camp school to train so he could be the next water front director at BSA summer camp. He was finishsed on Saturday, I got up at 4 am and drove. I picked him and then we hung out until we went to our nephews baby blessing. After that we went to go shopping:) Avery bought me two dresses that I liked a lot! (and needed) Then we went back to Grandma's house and hung out with some family there. That night we went to stay at candices but at last minute we decided to go stay in a motel it was a really nice motel. On sunday we headed up to Henefer to visit Candice and Trax, it was a lot of fun and he is getting so BIG! We tended Trax that night so candi could go to her sisters seminary graduation. He was tons of fun to play with and watch! That night we went to bed and woke the next morning ready to head home. We made a few stops along the way home and had some fun! I am glad that we got to spend this last weekend away and with each other!

LOSER!

2010-05-18T11:57:00.002-04:00

So I have to admit, I threw an pretty sweet party for Avery but did not take ONE picture of anything! I am a BAD wife! I feel like crap so maybe we will have to have a happy un birthday just to take pictures! We had some hamburgers and brawts and macaroni salad and fruit with dip! After we were full we opened presents! I gave him running shoes and pants that he wanted bad. Then we had his favorite kind of cake, Skor cake. I did not put candles on it or take pictures because I was too busy holding Zoey:) I think it was a great day besides I took no pictures!

I am getting a little nervous because I am done working at the school this year in 2 weeks so i will not have a summer job, I am supposed to be hearing from a lady to work with a down syndrome girl but no such luck yet. I am hoping the call comes soon! College classes are up and running and we are extremely busy! I have had homework galore! Avery is missing some days because of camp school and scout camp but I know he can do it!

Happy Birthday Avery!

Hair Cut

2010-04-29T10:57:00.002-04:00

So I took the plunge and chopped my hair off! I cut off 14 inches! I like it so far! I think when it grows out I want it a little longer. The first time that I had to do it on my own was hard! I had to have my mom help me but now I am getting the hang of it. I also learned not to go to bed with it wet, makes it hard for the next day to do!

Allergies!

2010-04-13T12:15:00.003-04:00

So this is what I feel like the last two days! Except my nose is a faucet and my eyes are watering like crazy! I HATE allergies! I was never bad until I got sick 2 years ago. I have medicine I can take but it is horrible because it gives me AWFUL insomnia! I can't decide which way I want to suffer....its bad both ways!! The wind blowing the dirt around is not my friend at all!!

Easter Egg Hunt and picnic

2010-04-07T11:06:00.005-04:00

My family or I have never rolled eggs before so Avery had to teach us. It was a lot of fun and the hill was huge! We had our usual lunch and easter egg hunt which avery found the golden egg with 20 dollars in it! We had lots of fun with our family!

Here is our easter baskets, we both actually had a couple more things in them but we wanted to use them sooner than easter so we did:) Ave had a installation kit for his truck and I had a book!

My home work is WAY to hard for me...and im struggling in math! It is evil, I am so ready for spring break. I am ready for the snow to be gone and the green grass to start appearing. I think I am starting to get depressed because of all of it. I love how much more room we hav and I don't know how we ever fit all of that stuff into a trailer! I am so glad that I have the space I need to branch out and craft and have fun! It is what I neededd for sure!! It helps me destress when I lock myself in there:) well off of work I go and school here I come! I hope the roads aren't bad!

WERE MOVING!

2010-03-01T11:04:00.002-05:00

So, I am putting this out there and it is official! We are moving into a house! NO more trailer or leaky roof or muddy drive way or muddy road! I am so happy! Of course rent is more but I know we will be ok! :) I am excited to have TONS more room! To buy a washer and dryer, to have 3 whole closets to use!! There is a nice little sun room too I know much time will be spent there! We also have a garage and LOTS of space in it! NO more Dish Network stuff in my house!! The deer and Turkey love our back yard so that will be something else to enjoy! Avery and I are both excited we just need to figure our a way to clear some snow out of one of the drive ways... hmm any ideas let me know! My car will be SO much cleaner now! YAY! I will take a picture later and show you! :)

Snow

2010-02-19T11:10:00.002-05:00

As I sit here and write this it is snowing. We are supposed to get up to 24 inches of snow int he next 4 days! GO AWAY SNOW! I am finally having my little girls basketball party tonight! We should have loads of fun! I cleaned the whole house yesterday and sweet little jordan helped me! I love her so much! I have been in the office trying to dejunk some more with little luck. Finding another place to live stilll has had no luck! We were looking at a house and really thinking about it, but she rented it to someone else. We were a little bummed, hoping what ever is supposed to come along will. I am looking forward to spring break!!! We have not decided what we are going to do yet but maybe include some where WARM! Hope Every one has a great day! Love to all!

2010-02-15T11:27:00.003-05:00

I did not take hardly any pictures this weekend I am a slacker! I enjoyed Avery & I's first Valentines day together! We celebrated on Saturday, he took me out to eat at cheesecake factory and they took me to Valentines Day. I really enjoyed our little weekend getaway! Thanks Babe! LOVE YOU!! Hope everyone else enjoyed theres!

HAPPY 4 MONTHS!

2010-02-10T10:26:00.003-05:00

We have been married for four months as of today! Things are going great for us! Avery had a job offer this week but turned it down, the next day we find out he passed his P.O.S.T. test!! YAY he finally accomplished it and I am SO proud! :) We are still looking for a new place to rent but some where in the 4th ward because Avery is now teaching every second sunday in the elders qourum! He will be an amazing teacher! Our roof is ever leaking like it always has...and it is never a fun adventure! I am still going to school I dread some days and others are good! Some nights home work is easy and other nights its TOUGH! This weekend we are going on a little trip for Valentines day and it will be SOOO much FUN! He is planning it all and it will be well worth it! I have loved that he is planning it and I am not stressing at all! One last thing! To all of those who think I am baby hungry I AM NOT! I just love to hold the precious things! If I were I would be expecting already! STOP thinking that!

THANKS!

Cooking:)

2010-02-05T13:37:00.002-05:00

I love these pictures! I love when Avery knows I am not wanting to cook or nows when I need his help! This night he decided to help me and I took pictures! I love that he helps me! This is actually something that Avery made himself! It is VERY good! Here is my Hubby cooking!

SNOW SNOW & MORE SNOW!

2010-01-22T11:43:00.003-05:00

Snow up to my knees! We have had some crazy storms the last few days and school was canceled on thursday and friday. The shoveling was AWFUL! Enjoy while I make sugar cookies! :)

FED UP!!!

2010-01-19T16:37:00.005-05:00

I am SO ready to have both of these beauties back soldered together! It has been one heck of a ride with the Kay Jewelers in Grand Junction and I would suggest you DON'T use them!!! The Provo one is 100 times BETTER!!! There has been ring drama but I think it is all figured out! I am missing them lots! Other things on the agenda! We are looking for other places to rent but have not found any yet! We need a little more space but not much more rent than we are already paying (if anyone knows a place tell me PLZ) I am still keeping up with work, some nights it is a struggle!! But I am managing! I am still having sleep problems so if some one has any ides of what could help PLEASE tell me! Avery and I are doing well enjoying each other but I am thinking we NEED a vacation...hmmm

Just us!

2010-01-15T10:08:00.002-05:00

Well lately Avery and I have been SUPER busy! He is always working and home when ever he is done. This last week he had off till Thursday and I LOVED it! I started school two weeks ago and I am taking 3 classes. I am enjoying them so far and I know math is going to be a CHALLENGE! The house has been slacking which I hate but I have SOO much going on! Avery has stepped up some and helped me with dinner and dishes quite often which I LOVE! This year I made some new years resolutions but I have not got them with me so I will have to post them next time! I have snuggled with Carolina lots and I love it! :) No kids for us for a while but that is ok I have some to love on! Work is going good, I can not believe that school is out in May! I am still trying to decide what is going to happen with spring break...I want to vaca!!! But I don't know if we can cause Avery works LOTS!! Well not too much else going on! Love you all!!

Tubing!

2010-01-06T11:17:00.003-05:00

Clara and I decided to go tubing. We went and bought tubes checked out a few places to go and we ended up at the ski lift. While we were checking things out we decided to invite my mom and sisters! We had a BLAST! After we got done tubing the girls begged me to pull them down the road so we did! These are our only pictures! I hope to go tubing with Avery soon!!!

Christmas

My Stocking

My loot! :))

Avery's Loot

Avery and his stocking

This is me running to give Avery a big hug for getting me a Cricut!!!
that is why it is blurry!

This year Christmas was AWESOME! We had a great time! I was able to get a cricut and Avery got a surround sound system and Blue Ray DVD player. It is different not having kids and and getting to see them all excited and such, but someday we will! We went to both of our families house on christmas and spent good family time! I already have all of the decorations taken down and I LOVE my nice clean house!! :)

WEDDING PICS

2009-12-27T13:45:00.004-05:00

I finally got my wedding pics! I am SOOO excited to share with you some more!! :)

O Christmas Tree :)

2009-12-15T18:09:00.003-05:00

I have just loved this season SO much! It has brought Avery and I closer and has let us had a fun journey so far!

Yesterday for FHE we invited my family to go with us. My dad said he knew where some trees were, so we asked him to show us. We got there and saw a few, I hiked to them in the snow that was up to my knees! I did this to 2 trees at first and I didn't like either of them! So we drove a littler further and parked and all got out to go hiking for a tree. Avery started walking and found a CUTE one! I just had to look and see if there was another one:) We walked around for 5-10 more minutes. I decided to go back to the one Ave picked. Dad went and got the chain saw started it but it kept dying. He forgot to check and make sure it had gas before we left!! So avery cut down our tree with a hand saw:) We hauled it back to the truck and we had cocoa:) Then dad decided he wanted to take a road that hasn't been plowed yet. Avery slid off and got stuck, but was able to get out. Then he went ahead of everybody and we got to a high spot on the road where he was scraping and got stuck and had to be pulled out. We went a little further and had to turn around. We headed home and had soup and put up the tree and decorated with my families help it was a GREAT night!

OUr happy hOme:)

Internet

2009-12-03T10:07:00.002-05:00

Avery and I just got the internet at our house. I am starting to hate it already!! Oh well I just hope the vicious cycle doesn't continue:/ I am DYING to see my wedding pictures. I got told three weeks ago it would only take a few more days and I have yet to see them:( Avery and I have put up christmas lights I will upload those pictures next time. I am so ready for the weekend to be here! I am also ready to order my pictures I have yet to scrapbook and start scrapping again:) I also need to get my christmas cards done and out, but I was going to just use a wedding picture in them but I can't yet...waiting Joy.... This Thanks giving Brad was able to make it up and stay for 5 days at my parents house. It was a lot of fun! My mother has the pictures so I will have to ask her for them. While he was here we ate and played games and played hide and go seek for Jordan. That is her favorite game I think! I enjoyed being off of work and being able to relax and enjoy my family. I hardly did any cleaning and now this week I am paying for it! I am also wishing we had our bedroom furniture so I could get the ugly shelfs out of our room. someday...I hope you all enjoyed your holiday!
