Ian Emily & Logan

The Two Joys in my life

2011-11-08T16:03:00.000-08:00

Preslee is 4 months!! This is crazy it seems like just yesterday I had her. She is getting so Long and Skinny. The f 0-3 fits her size wise but they are way to short for her and the 3-6 months swallow her but good on her long legs.
STATS:
25 1/2 inch
13lbs 11 oz
This puts her in the 95% for height and 50% for weight.
She did so good at the doctors got three shots and has slept most the afternoon. Now she is just rolling on the floor.

Things Preslee can do now:

*I found one of those rain Forrest bouncers at a garage sale last weekend and she loves bouncing in it. She only last about 10-15 min then she gets tired and wants to take a cat nap.
*We often say how fragile she is and dainty, compared to Logan.
*She loves laying on the floor and rolling all over, if she was a little stronger I think she would be crawling she gets her knees under her but her arms don't quit know what to do.
For the most part she sleeps at night. She does not go to bed until late but then she will sleep like 6 hours at a time and just want to eat and goes back down.(Doctor told me today to try and not feed her during the night which I know is good not to but its easy to just give her the bottle to go back to sleep...and this is why my two year old still has his which I DO NOT WANT for miss P.
*No teeth yet just drools like crazy.
* Has a big beautiful smile that she gets a Little dimple soo so cute.
*Still has her blue eyes and auburn hair and pail pail skin.
*Loves talking to us
*instead of crying when she gets mad she normally just grunts at us which is so cute...you can already see her little temper I don't know where she gets that:) she wants HER way.

She is growing so fast we just love her so much.

Logan:
Logan is getting Soooo Big. he is already 40 lbs. Not sure on his height but tall totally skipped 2t and went straight to 3t.
He is starting to talk so much.
today he asked"help please" it made my day.
I really can not get enough of this kid. It makes me sad to think about him growing up and not being my little baby. But I am also excited to see him grow.
Logan is a big handful for me there are some days that I just sit and cry and have NO clue how to handle him or fell that I am not patient enough with him and then there are the days that I think OK I can be patient I am good at this I can do this.

I finally got some paper work mailed last week to a specialist for him and I am waiting to hear back to get an appointment. I will post about it later. It was really hard for me to fill it out but I am so grateful I got it off and Now its the waiting game. I really hope they can help me b/c I am feeling at my breaking point and could really use some help with learning how to help him.
Anyways more on Logan and what he is up to...
(I so wish I was better at this when he was younger)
He loves singing the ABC song and does it over and over all day long
he also counts to 20 over and over and says numbers numbers b/c he wants to play with the numbers on my phone(which he could do all day long.)
This amazing Lady in our ward gave Logan her kids old leapster and he Loves playing it it helps calm him down.
He loves the Mormon Message I am a child of god song and will sing the whole song....Every time I try to record him singing it he wont silly little boy.
He loves his baths
Snow white is one of his fav movies and knows most the lines out of it and will act it out with them. WAY CUTE
He loves Little enisteiens. and all the instruments in the show. He can tell you what instruments are what. he knows the trombone,truphet,bass, cello,drums, cymbol, flute and several others.
He loves to sing. He loves music it calms him. we watch the Mo tab choir every sunday and he loves it.
Oh at church for our primary sacarement this little boy played the cello and he heard it and started to scream A cello a cello I love that he loves music.
He loves nursery. Anytime someone says amen in sacarment he yells Nursery Nursery and starts to run to Nursery I am sooo glad he loves it and goes. It took a couple of tries going but now he is a regular.
*Logan still does not play very much with other kids but he is gettting better at it.
I try and take him to the park a couple of times a week. At first it was very hard on me but now he does amazing and really loves it. He even started to go down the slide by himself this past couple of weeks. He does all his different patters like he has to walk the same steps and go to the letters say all them and then go down the slide. I have learned to just be patient and go along with it.
He does not pay much attenetion to miss P but when he does it is so cute it melts my heart.
Logan his so loving he kisses me all the time. He is going to be one big sweetheart.
I could go on and on but there is a few things about my kids.
I am so greatfull for the two I have I really can not picture my life without them.
They bring Joy to my life.

Thank goodness I found it

OH MY GOSH!! I just spent an hour writting a post all about the kids and I just deleted it on accident!! I am going to DYE!!

Random feelings

2011-10-18T15:24:00.000-07:00

So I know I need to post. I actually don't even know where to begin. Do I start with how I am really feeling and maybe to some people sound way negative and sad. and of course I just sat down to do this and Logan wakes up. I also could start with telling everyone how the kids are doing and what we are up to and put this energy out there that I am doing amazing and that I dint need any help (which by the way I am really good at doing)
I am thinking of starting another blog one just for the kids and updates on all the Joy that they bring to me and then keep another one where I can feel free to write how I feel and what I am going through from my medical standpoint and also Logans. But I am so afraid of the little amount of people that do read this and old friends will not follow it. I know I am so crazy and sooo insecure.
I have this survey thing I have to fill out for something all about me and I sat down to fill it in last night and thought OH MY GOSH I do not know me I don't know what I like anymore and I still am trying to fill it out and am having a hard time with it. as Snow whites says it best..."that's sad".
I don't know why I have such a hard time being me and so afraid what people will think or say.
I was just sitting here today(well really I am in the middle of painting the bath room) and thinking How much pain my body is in. and then Remembering that just 3 months ago "I" had a Heart attack and how quickly we all forget about that. I often feel like I hope I don't regret doing to much and will I really see the affects of this later in life. on the other hand I have this tuff stubborn I need to just keep going cant ask for help have to be strong. I don't even know how I would ask because I just don't know. I have wonder Women as a mom she does all and never stops going I sometimes fell like I can't talk to her because she just does not understand me having pain and I need to just keep going. I think that is why I have a hard time with how to feel.

The most frustrating thing about this whole thing is that each doctor says something different and there really does not seem to have any closer. I feel Like I always have one thing after another so I am so tired of telling people whats going on. Hopefully next week when I go in to the Heart Doctor we might be able to have more answer for me.

this is so random but its whats on my mind.
The kids are doing awesome both getting SOO big I love then both so much.
I will post pictures soon of what we are up to.

FOUR Days!!! So I am kinda stumped on what to really write but I just feel Like I really should and then it came to me that I wanted to write a little of what has been going on the last couple of weeks to be able to remember the last weeks with only One child. Lets just say the last oh three weeks have been crazy! Crazy not in the way of me doing things to get ready for the baby but crazy b/c we have been way sick. I have had no voice for two and Half weeks I finally got it back about Saturday. Our schedule has been way off Logan has been sleeping and eating like you would not believe. I think it has been a blessing but its been kinda hard to get him back on a good schedule. We have been sleeping in tell like ten and then really not doing anything the rest of the day. I was planning on swimming everyday and just spending some fun time with him...We have spent lost of time together just not out and about more like lying in bed cuddling. He is not that big of a cuddlier but the last couple of weeks he can not cuddle me enough he has just been so cute. He will talk and talk and then say mama and give me a kiss like over and over its cute but then your like OK enough kisses:) and he will just come give me a hug and then pat my back. I love this little boy so much. He also can not get close enough to me he will be on my lap on my tummy but he just wants to get closer and it kills my belly but he just wants to be with me. I am not sure if its b/c we have all been under the weather or if he is sensing that something is changing or probably both. The only thing with the whole sleeping in thing is that he WILL not take a nap...NO BUENO. I am grateful that we lounge in the morning especially b/c I am moving sooo slow these days but then come 5 I am going crazy b/c we have been stuck inside all day with no nap. We are starting to get back on sleeping right but really until the baby comes I think this is just the way its gotta be.
We have done some fun things we have been swimming quite a bit and Logan LOVES the water he so wants to just swim I am thinking next summer it will come to him. He loves when me and Ian count 123 and then push him under the water back and fourth. If we do not count fast enough he will start saying 1 3 its so cute. I went under the water and so he thought he should try it he is so brave...in the water he gets scared going down slides:) We also have been going to these little kid music concert every wed. They are fun Logan is not sure about them he stays close by but its been fun getting out of the house lets hope for next year he will get up and dance and enjoy it better.
Lets see we have gone to play group well like once its a lot of work to go to play group for me its at a big pool where Logan cant stand so with his no fear I have to chase him and its just a lot of work.

This is WAY long sorry
So I have been wanting to nest and then I just have nothing to give and I have been so frustrated with it. I have so much to do to get ready for my mother in law to come and baby but just not an inch of energy to do anything. I feel like I just sit here and look at everything that needs to get done and then I cant and I get so frustrated. It is coming together but I just wish I could get up and just work work work like i normally can. I think I have got to the point of it is what it is. Its really not bad I just am way weird aka pairinord about my house looking clean ( I know I have Issues with it) but instead of cleaning I have decided that Oh I am just sitting here Why don't I sew...BAD IDEA! Cause it seems to be when the boys go to be and it gets late and then I stay up way late b/c I make mistakes b/c I am so tired. I have sewn a diaper bag which I had decided I would not do and then last week was like oh I can do that silly me and then when I cut it out I did not cut on the fold which throw the whole thing off I was able to redeem it with re cutting as much as I could(I was using fabric I had so did not have much extra) and then my mom helped me save it. I think I could have done it on my own I just was so over it that I think if i tried i just would have said forget so I am glad she helped. It turned out pretty cute.
So when I was in the middle of making the bag and it was not working I decided to start a new project I know way smart and messed that one up, well kinda. I decided to make a car seat blanket cover thingy. My friend gave me her pattern and said it was way easy. leave it to me to mess it up. Oh did I mention that I really am not a sewer I just kinda make it up as I go from watching my mom and free tutorials. So on this pattern it said fold in HALF and round the edge MAKE SURE NOT TO CUT ON FOLD Well I did not cut on fold but I did think oh it would be easier to cut if i made it smaller to cut aka in FOURTHS I don't know what I was thinking well it was way late so I cut it I now have more then just rounded edges. I think it actually is going to turn out pretty good and different then all the others. It just was harder to sew instead of just a straight line I had to go up and down all the half circle. Its still not finish but hopefully I will tomorrow:)
So then Saturday night I decided to make a fourth of July Wreath that was well another this should take an hour turned into two and then another hour tonight but IT IS FINISHED!!! It turned out so cute I am glad I made it.
I do still have a lot of things I want to get down but I am just going to go with it and not stress if I get them done great if not oh well.
We have a crazy week which will be good it will help the week go fast. lost of Dr appointment and MIL coming in.
I cant wait to meet this little girl I am way nervous to have two kids and I hope Logan does good is it crazy that it makes me a little sad for Logan to not be the only child I spoil him so much I hope this does not rock his world too much. Thank you to all my friends who have helped me and send your love I really need it I have the personality that I need to feel needed and loved.
Please come visit me I may look like crap but I really like visitors with Logan I got baby blues so I am hoping to not this time and visitors will help!
I know this is way long and ALL over the place so hopfully you could follow it:)

Stressed!

2011-06-16T11:43:00.000-07:00

This is a MAJOR understatement! Baby is coming in two weeks and I am sick! And have been for the past week. Today I have NO voice none Nada and my throat is on fire! I have not been this sick since they took my tonsils out a couple of years ago. I have SO much to do and I can not move. I went to the doctor Monday and he gave me some stuff to take and I thought I was feeling better yesterday but it was all lie. I was up all night again (have not sleep more then 2-3 hours a night for a week) And woke up with a bad headache and a really sore throat and my body just aces from A sleeping on the couch(yes Ian kicked me out of bed b/c I was keeping him up) and B coughing so much has made the muscle in my tummy so sore and it kills! I REALLY need to get better I can not move and it is killing me. I want to do all this stuff with Logan before baby comes and I ~~want~~ NEED to CLEAN for my mother in law to come to town. I think this is what is most stressful getting my house ready for my MIL to come. She has never seen our new house and not that she really cares but I am putting a lot of stress on myself for her coming...more then having this baby. I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like all I do is CLEAN and it is never done and never clean. ( Don't get me wrong I don't have like a crazy messy house) just a little unorganized. I have my moms pack ratness and my Dads OCD and it drives me crazy. I am not a very organized person I try so hard but its just not me. and I really want it to be before my MIL comes. And with being sick I have not got ANYTHING done. On top of that Ian is gone A LOT I don't think he has had a day of (besides Sunday and even then he has worked them the last couple of weeks) in like two months. I am making him take Saturday off so we can get things done. I just hope that I feel better!

One mans Trash another man Treasures

Last summer Ian and I went to the thrift store to find some amazing deals....Well did we ever. I found a really cute white crib that just so happened to have the color sticker that was 50% off that day. I really wanted it and Ian thought I was crazy b/c Logan had a crib and at the time No baby # 2 was on the way. But how could I pass up a sleigh bed crib for $29. Yes it needed to maybe be painted but I paint everything any ways so it would be fine. (Oh i just remembered Logan's crib need the metal bottom thing so that is how I got Ian to let me buy it:) So we bought it and it has been sitting ever since. Well we pulled it out last weekend to paint it off white to match the hutch I painted and found that we where missing some parts. So i went on line to get the instructions on how to put it together and see about ordering the parts to find that It had been RECALLED. My first thought was YAY we could get a new crib then immediately my second thought was is that honest to buy a crib for $29 at a thrift store and then send in the recall to get a new one. I came to the conclusion that yes it was OK for me to send in the recall b/c that is why it is there to keep your babies safe. So we did everything they said to send in and away it went. I was a little nervous (well I am just in nature anyway a nervous person) but you just hope your sending in the right stuff and will they really send you a new one ect ect. Well I just got the e-mail saying they received all the screws, Pictures, showing we had the crib and will be sending our new crib today!!! YAY! we are getting a new crib. I have no Idea what crib we are getting but I know it has to be better then the one we have. I will post picture when we get the new one. I was going to paint the old one off white to match but I will not paint the new one we will just let it be:) It makes me want to go to the thrift store and see what other Treasures I can find.

The Verdict is in!

2011-05-16T21:11:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the doctor...My poor poor Doctor. So two weeks ago I meet with his Partner who really helped me feel good about pushing more for doing a VBAC. My Doctor was OK with me "trying" to do one but really thought that I was not a very good candidate. But after talking to the other doctor I felt like I actually could be a good candidate. So Any way today was the day to talk to him about it. I really Love my OB I think he is a great doctor and really listens to me... We were in his office for 45 min talking to him. I had a list of all things I wanted to talk about because I always forget:) He was so patient with me Answered all my questions. We came to the point that my body willing he would let me go over and try for a VBAC. I was still torn on what to do. I have anxiety and I like the fact that with a c-section I know when she will come and no surprises. But I REALLY wanted a VBAC but was so affraid that I would labor again for 24 hours just to end in an emergency C-section. So it really had been weighing heavy on me what to do. ( I have prayed about this and came to peace that if I was showing signs of progressing that I would try for VBAC but if by week 36 if I was not I would just do a C-section b/c a planned c-section is much better experience (so I hear) then an emergency. So after talking with him about Several things We went ahead and schedule a C-section so I could have the day I want/availability with the known that I could CX it at anytime. While we where scheduling it with the Nurse the Doc decided to go back and look at notes from having Logan... Well lets just say the decision was made I NO longer had options.
-background:
When you have a C-section they cut horizontal on the outside and depending on the baby and how it is in your tummy they cut you horizontal or vertical on the inside....If you have any vertical cuts/ or tears you are at high risk for your Uterine wall to rupture during a birth which results bleed to death and other complication.
So with that said apparently while pulling Logan out of the womb I got a tear going vertical that needed to be stitched up therefore resulting in NO VBAC:(
To be honest it was a huge relief to hear this....Not because I did not want a VBAC I really did but not knowing the unknown and just waiting was really stressing me out. Now I can plan and be ready. Ians mom already bought her tkt to fly down here and help so she will be here when we schedule it and I just feel at peace with it. So we will have baby girl June 30 @ 7:30am. Logan will still be asleep when we go in and so it will work out that by the time he gets up and dressed etc. I should be ready for them to come up and see baby!! The Doc says because it is scheduled that I will most likely be able to go home a day earlier then I did with Logan b/c you just heal faster which was music to my ears I wanted to leave the hospital so bad with Logan I was there for 5 days.
I am really sad that I will never have the opportunity to deliver V but I think I have come to peace with it. It was a really hard road excepting it after Logan but I think It will be much easier emotionally this time b/c I know its going to go down this way!
(I know I used c-section and VBAC alot just in case you did not notice I thought I would point it out:) VBAC= vaginal birth after cesarean I had this whole confo with this girl and at the end she goes now what is a vbac so just in case I am not assuming anymore.

That’s right folks PINK we are having a baby girl!! I know what some are you are thinking, I thought you were done with Logan. We I really felt like I was but then we really got thinking about it and with not really knowing where I was going to go medical wise we decided we should maybe have another before the option was taken away completely. And then if we did have another we wanted to have them close b/c we are already in baby mode and have baby stuff. It took a year with Logan so we really did not know how long it would take us I thought maybe a little longer than it did but it’s going to work out. Her due date is exactly two years from Logan’s due date July 7^thcrazy that it is the same day. I most likely am going to have to have another C-section that is planned for June 3o but I REALLY want to do a VBAC but I really don’t know what way I’ll have her until she comesJ I might get an Idea at my next appointment in two weeks. So if you haven’t realized I am pretty far along only have like 8 weeks left I am 32 weeks. I really don’t know why I am struggling with posting this one… I guess because we waited so long to tell everyone that when we finally did it did not seem such a big deal to post, and the fact that I kept thinking about all the cute ways I could post it and could come up with nothing so I just kept blowing it off. But I decided it’s time b/c I want to post so many other things that are going along with it that I just finally said today is the day. I had my baby shower for her last weekend and got so many cute outfits it really got me excited to meet this little girl and put her in all her little outfits I am really ready for her to come. I am not sure what to expect Logan we thought would come out way dark with dark curly hair brown eyes but no he is my light hair skin blue eyed adorable little boy. So I really have no clue what she will look like and it’s killing me. I hope the next weeks come fast (but not too fast I still have a ton of things to get done before she comes.) Here are a few pictures from the shower…

So it has been Way crazy around here! Last week I felt like the energizer bunny just without the energy but I kept going and going and going. First off I taught a finical class for my mom’s ward enrichment class. It’s the first off three classes. I love teaching it. I was a little scared (well let’s not lie) A LOT scared… Ian and I taught a six week course last fall and it was great b/c we spilt the time and he could help fill in my scatterness  But this time it was an hour class all ME. I thought there was NO way that I could teach for an hour…boy was I wrong. I had an interesting experience. I just could not get my thoughts together on how I wanted to teach and what I wanted to say I stayed up many nights just going over and over what I wanted to do and NOTHING!! So on top of having this crazy week I thought oh Ill have play group at my house it was actually nice to just stop thinking about it and relax a little. After everyone left and I got both boys down(thank goodness) and I had like what 6 hours before I taught I thought ok heavenly Father what do I need to teach and then it hit me so hard I knew what I needed to do. It was crazy it was a total different direction on which I had planned to do so I felt so unprepared but at the same time I have never had such strong feelings to change what I had planned and do what needs to be taught so I felt peace that everything would work out. It’s amazing how fast time flies when you are passionate about something….I can talk for hours on finances. I can’t wait tell the next class!

So now that the class is done I moved on to the next thing of the week …Baby shower for my best friend.
We have been walking every Mon,Wed,Fri. So Wed Morning Kathryn texted me nothing abnormal we text hourly but she put hey could I come over before we go walking…..SEVERAL things started to flow through my mind. I thought is she coming to tell me something about the shower and she wants something different no that’s not Kathryn she is the most easy going person I know. Then somewhere way deep down inside …well let me give you some back story I just got really burnt out by a person I thought was a good friend and this seems to happen a lot to me so I thought could this really happen Again and I really thought there was no way I just had no clue but I knew it could not be that… so I waited for her to come over. It was worse She came to tell me she was moving to North Carolina….NOOOOO I finally have an amazing friend and she has to move. I am way happy for them though her husband got a promotion but still very sad. She is one of those friends that I will have for a lifetime. We already have a trip planned to the beach. This woman is an amazing woman and carried me through a really down time in my life and brought Joy to me again. She made me realize how important it is to have girlfriends in your life. She truly will be missed.

So on to the shower….The rest of the week was me running around crazy getting things down for the shower. She is having a baby girl so we did pink and green as the colors. We made cute tissue paper flowers with the help of Melisa another close friend. And way cute thank you gifts…Lots of yummy food and I made some Yummy cupcakes. I forgot my camera so when I get the pictures from Mel I will post them. It turned out so good and she got some amazing gifts. We were just happy that she made it to the shower she is due any day. She is 60%efaced and already at a 3. So hopefully in the next couple of days we will have baby grace here! Oh I tried sewing these really cute onsies with ruffles on the butt they did not turn out good so I really need to practice.
So this is a way long post but that is a little of what is going on in my life. I am going to have a LAZY week!

ok I take it back

2011-01-25T14:23:00.001-08:00

So I came across a new blog template website and LOVE it so now I think I can blog again cause I have a cute one:) I have to teach a class at enrichment on FHE for people with little ones tommorrow and I am way scared. I have not taught in a long time and The fact that I have an 18 month old I dont have much experiance. But I guess they want to hear what I have to say. I hope it goes well I am sure it will it only has to be 15-20 min I can handle that. So thursday I will post a BIG post with pictures and all and get everyone caught up on US. Thanks for sticking with me through time of silence. I am really going to try hard and do this.

2010-07-17T21:04:00.000-07:00

WE FINALLY have internet. Its been a long time...No internet + having a ONE year old= No time for blogging. But here I am going to try at it again. I am not sure if anyone will even read it anymore because its been so long but it will be good to help me document things we do. I hope all is well with my blog friends, I have a lot of blog catching up and filling in to do.

WE are coming to UTAH!!

2009-10-12T10:56:00.001-07:00

Hey guys we are coming to Utah in two weeks and I can not wait! we are coming in on Tuesday the 20th. We will be in Idaho Falls the 21st and Twin Falls the 22 and back to Utah the 23. It is going to be so much fun! I miss Utah so much. I would really like to get together with everyone up there. I talked to my cousin Megan and she said she that we could get together at her house for a big family get together I would love to see everyone. Let me know what nights work best for you so we can plan it. Maybe like a pot luck or something like games. The only bummer of the whole trip is I have to stay with the In laws I guess Ill have to get over it. Other then that things are going great. Logan just talks up a storm, he loves singing with me it is so cute. He also Loves me reading books to him, he got mad at me the other day when I stoped he likes to just sit there and see the pictures and hear my voice. He still is not sleeping through the night but is getting way better. It is mainly my fault but I am working on not having to have him right next to me. We took him of dairy a couple of months ago and This weekend I wanted to see if he out grow it and if I maybe Prematurely took him off. Well within 24 hours of putting him back on the dairy he had blood in his stool and back to a really fussy baby...So back to soy and he is back to being Happy. Has anyone had to use soy? It makes Logan have a very hard time going to the bathroom , and his stools are so BIG not kidding like the size of a golf ball no messy diapers for me (is great but I feel bad for Logan cause it hurts him) Ian calls them Soy balls. Dr. said to put brown sugar in the Formula but I have noticed it helping any suggestions? Other then his stools hurting him he is doing great and getting way big. Hope to see all my Utah Friends in a couple of weeks!

2 Month

2009-09-17T22:17:00.000-07:00

Logan had his two month check up and shots. He was a big boy and only cried for a second and when he got handed back to me he just snuggled and stopped crying. He did real well the rest of the day as well. I do have to admit I spoil him just a little :) but can you really spoil a baby. I love that I get to stay home and give him all my attention. We kinda had a rough start. He would scream for 13 hours and sleep for only like an hour at a time. I did not know what to do it was WAY hard. Finally one night late my mom came out to help and noticed that 10 min after I feed him is when he would do this freak out thing he used to do. He would scream and shake it was horrible. She said that is what Jaime (my sister) would do. I enjoyed breastfeeding him, some people have a hard time with this but I was doing fine. But, I saw what was going on so I decided that we would see what would happen if I took him off my milk. after a couple of weeks of trying different things we put him on Soy milk and it was a complete change and new little boy over night. It takes two weeks to detox your body of milk so I started the Journey of NO milk. It was not as bad as I thought it would be but the pumping was hard to keep up on. SO after the two weeks Logan like the laziness of the bottle and I lost my milk. I really wish I could feed him 1ST because it is SOOO good for him and also it was going to help with money. But I he is a happy little boy and I am a happy Mommy!:) He still is not sleeping real well through the night but I will take that over the screaming any day. Now he just wakes up and I feed him and he goes back to sleep.
back to his appointment.. He is following in his Dads footsteps. He is 23.8 IN and 12 lbs 9.2 oz. That puts him in the 75%. he was 22.2 in 10lbs1.9oz on his one month and his one week he was 7lbs 4.8. I know a lot of information but its been a while.
here are some Pictures to enjoy!

RATED "R"

2009-07-01T17:51:00.001-07:00

So here are some pictures of me a couple of weeks ago. My mom says they are rated R and I should not post them... I on the other hand love my prego body. ( I wont post ALL of them just some I think are fine)

***UPDATE***
So as you can see with the counter that I am due in 6 days... Well Its going to be sooner then that. I am on my way to the hospital in like a half hour. Last week I brook out in a Major Rash (I guess prego people get this in the ninth month) It sucked My whole body was bleeding because i could not stop itching my self. I went to the Doctor and I guess this rash is a sign that your Liver could be failing. SO I took a blood test to see how everything is. In the mean time my body did not want to kick start its self into the whole labor process so On Monday morning I had to go sit in the Hospital for 2 hours. they had to monitor the baby and put something in my cervix to help start it...If I did not start this I would have to have a c-section and we all know that is my biggest fear I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE to go through that again. Well in mean time Test came back good but my blood pressure is getting a little high and Because I still do have the rash they want to get the baby out. So I went in again to the hospital today for 2 hours had another little pill up me and then I go into night at 9. They will give me some stronger stuff and they have to monitor the baby b/c his heart beat is dropping and this stuff they give me could kick me in labor and they want me there. Then in the morning if this is all working and my body is thinning and starting Dilate They will induce me. If it does not work and they induce they will have to do a c-section. Long story I hope you got it all I only had a min to type and I know the spelling is Horrible. ALL in ALL Everything is fine. I love my DOC he is amazing! I will post pictures as soon as I can. WISH ME LUCK!

The TOUR

2009-06-05T19:22:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday we took the hospital tour. It was fun going and seeing where it all goes down. It made me real exited to have Little man come. I am getting really anxious I can not wait to see his personality, what he looks like, and the fact that he will not be kicking my ribs any more is a perk too. As much as I LOVED my doctor and the Hospital in Utah I was with before the move its fun because I get to deliver were I was born and of course HE WILL BE A TEXAN!
Here is the delivery room I would love to Deliver in..

This room is the dream recovery room

or this one

It could be worse

I guess this is the room that will do

As long as I don't have a 10 lbs baby I will be fine. My friend had her baby and it was 9lbs 22 inch long and came a week early! I sure hope I don't go late... have you seen my husband I am a little worried.
Other then that I am doing great. My hands are getting swollen and it hurts to grasp/hold anything, my ankles really have not got big I thought they would but i guess my hands are taking it all. I told Ian I put my self on bed rest because he is so heavy on my pelvic bone that it hurts so bad to walk/stand and if I do its to the rest room. Ian is so good to me he just laughs and plays along. He rubs my feet and back like every night. I am so lucky he is so good to me. I cant wait to see him with the baby he is going to be a great dad! I am just a little worried about me being a good mom:)

A new Background

2009-06-02T11:23:00.001-07:00

I am so HAPPY! Its still not as cute as some pepes but I FINALLY figured out how to get my background changed and add some fun stuff! I have not been sleeping much lately so I was able to spend a couple of hours reading and playing with the blog and here you have it a new background...Now all I have to do is remember to update it:)Does anyone even still Look at it? Once baby comes I will have more in my life to blog about.

BaBY Shower

2009-05-17T18:26:00.000-07:00

I have had two Amazing showers the past month. One in Utah and one in Texas. My mom and Me drove to Utah a month ago and had a great time, I really miss Utah. And then some of my friends gave me a shower in Arlington. They were both so much fun and Little man got a lot of cute outfits and fun things to do.
Here our some picture from the Texas shower( the Utah shower for some reason I look fat and bad so I am still deciding if i will post any from that one):)

2009-04-19T21:39:00.000-07:00

So Ian could not wait until my belly button would start to become "an outty" Well its not there yet but any day now its going to pop. I kept telling him that it was not going to happen to me but I think I am wrong. I have a couple of scares on/around and they are defiantly stretched. One from surgery when i was in High school and another from back in the day you know when belly piercing where cool (where they really that cool?) either way Its coming out... And so AM I!Its fun filling him move and interact with mine and Ian's hands touching my tummy. The other day you could see his little body pocking out over on one side So Ian but his hand there and they started to play. Ian would put his hand there and he would kick and then they just kept playing back and forth. It really started to hurt me I am not kidding I was sore there the next day. And then tonight Ian went to kiss baby good night and he kicked him right in the face It was funny. Things are going great. I am crazy busy getting ready for my drive to Utah!! Its going to be long I wonder how many potty breaks we are going to have to make. I cant wait to see my Friends and Fam. Everyone keeps asking me what my Baby Theme is but I really don't have one. I am not much on the whole baby stuff. So here is a picture of what I am using. It is not that great of a picture sorry. Its mainly just stripes poka dots and argyle. I am throwing in a classic football and basketball print in the quilt for the bed. That's right I am because me and my mom are sewing the crib set. I did not like anything i Saw in the stores so I am doing it with help from my mom. I can not wait to see the finished project. And just for peps who want to see how I look a picture of me. I did not gain any wait from day one to 7 months (I lost a lot in the First tri) But in the last week I gained 10 pounds a whole new story I will fill you in when i get results back. but for know Enjoy the Picture.

What a week

2009-03-18T20:19:00.000-07:00

Last week Me and Ian celebrated our 2 years together. It has gone by so fast. I cant believe its been two years. I don't feel old enough to be married for two years let a lone be pregnant. But I guess I am going on 26 and its OK that I am pregnant and married. We went out to eat last Saturday to Simply Fondue (its like melting pot) It was good but not the melting pot I wish we would have made the drive out to Dallas, It would have cost the same and we would have gotten a better meal. But it was fun, Ian had never done that kind of eating out, and he enjoyed it.

One our actual anniversary day we went to Burger Street for some good hamburgers and fries, then walked around Lowe's ( I love doing that) and got some Ice cream from the best Ice cream places Braums. And then went home and called it a night. I know sounds like so much fun.

The reason why we walked around Lowe's is we put an offer on a house. And it need some work so we where looking at the paint we would use and all new appliances. But we found out Monday that they did not accept our bid:( I thought we offered good we did not ask for less then the asking price, but when you deal with a foreclose i guess this is the game we had to play. It sucked waiting but I guess we are supposed to live somewhere else, I feel real good about that. I really did like the place and wanted it but I just don't feel sad which really makes me feel like we are supposed to live somewhere else.

Last but not least, Baby news... Last week I spent 4 hours at Harris hospital out in Ft. Worth my amazing mother came with me so the wait was not to bad. I thought it would be like a quick appt. but boy was I wrong. I had to go out to him because he specialises in High risk pregnancy. After 4 hours I found out I am not at high risk. Why did I have to go you ask...
Well when you fill out the whole family background thing when you first go to a doctor You have to put all your close family info, Well My mom had a baby die at 6 weeks due to heart problems, So I really did not think much about it my sister has had 5 babes(don't worry I will not have that many) and all of them where fine in fact the doctor never even checked one that. But my doctor wanted to play it safe and sent me to the specialist. I guess it really did not hit me until i was there that there could have been something wrong with little man. But all is well I have a healthy baby and everything looks great. I was neat having the doctor go through the whole baby's parts and measuring in debt everything to make sure he was growing right, much more detail then what you would normally get. But it was fun i saw him open and shut his mouth a couple of times.

Anyways long post but her is a picture of my belly.

So I really Need Help

2009-03-02T15:43:00.000-08:00

I Have been trying to change my background for like a Half hour and it wont take. Kristen I need your help again. I know you told me like 6 months ago how to do. I am doing exactly what it is telling me to do. add gadget copy past save you know the whole thing. I really just need some one to sit down with me and do it for me. Maybe one day I will learn. Until then you don't get to see the cute back ground I picked to announce What I am having sorry. but, I guess I will still let you know.......

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!! he is 1 pound 2 oz and 10 Inches. I can not get a very good picture of the pictures they gave me but who can really tell on most of them any way. But all looks good!

ABOUT time Update

2009-02-26T18:45:00.000-08:00

So i know its been a while.(sorry) I will try to make this short...but don't count on it. There is a lot to fill you in on.
First,
We moved to Texas the week of Christmas. What a move that was. It turned into a blizzard the whole drive down. What would normally take 20 hours took us 36 hours. We are so grateful that we made it safe and for members of the church who opened their home and let Me, Ian and my little brother stay at their house in New Mexico.
Ian got a great job working for Frito Lay. Its a great company and he seems to be enjoying it. He as to get up at 2:00am so he stays pretty tired. But it is going to make it that I will not have to get a full time job and can stay home!!!

Why would I want to stay home???? Well the BIG NEWS... After taking Two test and the last 3 months of having a date with Mr. Toilet, Being so tired, and can not stand the smell of anything... I AM PREGNANT!!! WE are so happy. It was not an easy road getting here, and know that we are it is so SCARY! I told my mom the other day that I am not old enough/ready for a baby she said "Emily, Your 25 I had 2 kids by then. I guess I am not so young to have a kid. It is scary but I am way excited.
I am due on July 8th. On Monday we find out if it is a girl/boy. I can not wait to start shopping(maybe I should go get a job so I can get all I want:)
Just when the Throwing up ended and I was felling much better... My tummy Popped. Everyone has been asking for picture but i really have not been showing. But in the last 2-4 days I just Popped and It does not fell very good (VERY doable over the throwing up) So here is the Picture...I will keep you posted.
Hope you enjoyed this random all over the place update. Let me know how all you guys are doing!

Things a changing

2008-12-03T14:44:00.000-08:00

So Here is the BIG update... It all started 3 months ago when Ian and I where fishing in the Bountiful lake. One the way home I said we should drive by the our house:) (its just down the street) Now normally he would have just said sure but this night he goes well we need to talk. Talk, I think, OK, talk, Ian "no I need to talk when we get home." So he kinda talked alittle on the drive home. But when we got home he told me that he felt real strong that we need to move to Texas sooner then later. Now if you knew the story he told me when we got married that we would never move to Texas. It was to hot. So when he told me everything i knew that we really need to Move. It is better sweet. I love Texas and i miss home so much. But i also like a lot of things about Utah and being close to Family. I also was really looking forward to getting our new townhouse and also i had kinda expected living in Utah. I also like being away from things in my own little life up here. But i am also so glad to be close to my mom and Friends and Family.
So good bye Utah..... Hello Texas!

P.s. Did i mention How sore I am!!!

Ian and I Took the day off to go golfing with my work for an annual Columbus day golf tournament. We had a lot of fun... A lot of people bailed out because we had a big snow Storm the night before and people said it would be to cold. But we went and I am so glad we did its was so much fun.

You Are Snow White!

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Long time

2008-10-07T12:11:00.000-07:00

So i guess its been a long time so i will fill you in on what we have been up to. We went to Dallas 2 weeks ago for my nephews birthday. We always love going and seeing all the kids. The cake was awesome it was R2D2 and it tasted so yummy. Let see oh we went to the Body Worlds is was neat. I don't know much about the human body as Far as looking at muscle and blood vessels so to me after seeing one it was all the same. I did see some cool things so I am glad I went. We went to St. George last weekend to vist Ians Brother one last time. While Ian and Ben went to the Men's session, my sister and law and I Tried to make these Mini Carmel apple. We where not that successful but we had a fun time. I will post a couple of picture. We did get a few that looked semi decent. The Carmel kept melting off. Anyways we just have been real busy with Moving and Ian having Two jobs and full time school, and me working two jobs. Amy way hope all is well with everyone in Blogger Land.

GONE FISHING

2008-09-09T12:21:00.000-07:00

Ian went Fishing with his brohter on Saturday and got a huge one. Isnt Ian so cute?

Ian+BEE= LOVE

2008-09-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

When we were moving a couple of weeks ago Ian got bit by a bee and his ankle got so big. Yesterday while he was at work he got bit again this time on the arm it made him real sick and I had to take him to the doctor. They gave him this shot and some meds and said "take it easy". Ian hates Doctors so when he called and told me we should go i knew we needed to. Needless to say Ian is Way allergic and the bees love him.

JAW

2008-08-28T09:44:00.000-07:00

So i had my Jaw Drained Last Thursday. Everything went well. They put me under so i did not fell anything. I woke up with feeling like i had a tight jaw but really no pain. I was just way sleepy. I start PT next week, they say it will be 11/2 hours the first time...WHAT could you possibly do with your jaw for an hour and half!!! but if it will make it better i am all for it. Wish me luck

Move

2008-08-27T14:31:00.000-07:00

So we are finally out. As of Monday night we had everything cleand and loaded up. It was a CRAZY weekend with not much time,energy, or food.

We are so greatfull that Ians Grandparents are letting us live there!!!

HOw it happend

2008-08-19T06:53:00.001-07:00

I was trying to put a huge stack of papers together with the binder clip. My stack of papers where to thick but i was still trying to make them all fit. The clip springed up and hit me at full force in the forehead. (that's really the only way I know how to explain it)

This could only happen to me!!

2008-08-18T14:20:00.001-07:00

So this could only happen to me... Today at work i was binder clipping alot of pages together and the binder clip attacked me. It blacked me out for a sec. I have a huge headache and cant see anything. They made fill out a workers comp. Shouldn't things like this only happen in the Movies or shows like the office???

DRUM ROLL

2008-08-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

so to continue on the Moving post... The reason why we are doing this is...We bought a townhouse!!! YAY! Well we put down half the earnest money last Saturday and then in October we will go in and pay $2500 for the contractor fee and then away we go to building our first home! Its going to be so much fun. I get to pick out everything, from the paint to the counter tops to flooring. It will start being built in October and then be done for us to move in sometime in January. The townhouse is in North Salt lake so way close to work, and we don't have to deal with all the North traffic we will just miss it. We wanted to buy a house but they are so stinking expensive and you get a shack. And with my medical issues and not knowing if we are going to be able to have babies :( this will be perfect for us. I will have to have a House warming party and invite all you girls over, I will miss the ward you guys have been great to me.

HELP

2008-08-08T07:47:00.000-07:00

So I really don't how to use my blog that well. I changed my back ground and then all my Friends contact disappeared. How do i get it back???? I know I have to type them all in but I don't remember how. My old co worker helped me and now she does not work here. Can any one help?

Any takers??

2008-08-07T13:14:00.000-07:00

So for all you that don't know... Me and Ian are moving... This weekend... I know soon and i am stressed!!!! Well we have to be out of our apt by Aug 24. but we are going out of town the 15th so we want everything out so i can clean. I have to do a really good cleaning job (its going to be way cleaner then when We moved in) Our landlord is letting us break our lease 2 months early so we can move out. Where you ask... We are moving in with Ian's grandparents house. We are exited to pay off my medical bills and save some money. I am ready for a change. It has been a great place for us for the past Two years. We are sad to go but exited about the future!! IF ANY ONE KNOWS ANYONE LOOKING... its a Two bedroom 1 bath and a one car detached garage that is way nice to park in for the winter. there is a shared Washing room with the folks upstairs. Its not the newest thing ever but i have painted some of the bathroom to help it out alittle (I love crafts and had a hard time remembering that it is a rental)He is going to rent it out @ $790 a month. I am not sure what this includes. I think you might have to pay utilities. So if you know anyone let me know!!! we would really like for it to rent out so we don't have to pay for 2 more months. I will give you more info later...this is already a novel. (oh we are staying in Utah unfortunately)(I really miss home TEXAS)

Brace face @ 25 are you out of your mind!!!

2008-07-29T07:30:00.000-07:00

So i guess i am getting braces on Thursday. FUN stuff! I am kinda feeling bitter sweet about it. I have always wanted to get them but do i really want to not be able to eat Carmel or gum or corn and the list goes on and on. And lets not forget about all the sores I will have. But in the end i think I will love the change. I have to get them not for cosmetic(although it helps) but i have TMJ and this is the first step to getting that fixed. Then on the 21st I go in for a day surgery thing where they are going to drain alot of fluid out of my Jaw. and then when the braces comes off i might have to have another Jaw surgery but they wont know until they see how the braces change my bit. We will see but for now I will just be a metal mouth!

2008-07-17T11:01:00.001-07:00

Here is a fun little game... Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark...get set...blog your memories!!

MY LAST venting session

2008-07-17T10:04:00.000-07:00

So its been a while... Well a long time. I really do enjoy reading up on everyone. Its a good thing to keep in touch and see what everyone is up to that you do not talk to on a regular bias. MY PROBLEM... AKA why i have not posted in a while. I learned a good lesson, and i admit I have been guilty of this my self (therefore i have gone and deleted some of my blogs) I think so many people write on here like a Journal and Vent and post things that should stay in a personal Journal or within the situation. This is a great place to be passive aggressive and attack people without having to man up and deal with it. I know some of your are thinking WOW what happened with me... Nothing append with me or to me just someone i know and LOVE very much and it made me take a step back and think about all the stuff I have posted and have i been using the blog for the right reasons or as a venting journal...so From here on out I will only post Pictures and details of things we are up to and keep my private TMI stuff to a journal and people close to. Isn't that how it should be done anyway??? I am not saying i am perfect just needed to vent my opinion in my own Passive aggressive way :)

Sleep Over

2008-06-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was very busy. We decided to help Ian's brother out (its a way sad story...His wife just took off and left town but its really for the better)Any way Ian's mom is pretty ,much helping raise this kid because his brother moved in. Well they where going out of town so Ian and I said we would watch him Saturday night. So around 3:00 pm we went and picked him up. As we where driving away I said to Ian this might be great birth control:) We took him to cabellas and he absolutely loved it. Ian and all his brothers took him fishing in the morning so when we took him there they have that aquarium and he was so good and Ian was amazing with him. Then we took him home and feed him. He wanted to watch Nemo so we put it on but half way through i could tell that he was getting so sleepy so i wanted to give him a bath first Kids are so fun in the bath he did not want to get out. We then finished watching Nemo and he fell asleep on my lap it was so cut Ian was laying on me and Adi en was laying on me and I was the only one that stayed up. So i put both my babies to bed and then i just layed there and layed there and oh layed there. I COULD not sleep i was so worried that he was going to wake up and have no clue where he was and I did not want him to be scared. Apparently he has been waking up everyday at 3am but he did not with us he was so good. He woke up at 6 am and screamed for like 5 sec and then the grate husband i have jumped up so fast and said his name and he st oped and was fine. Ian let me sleep and he got to watch Nemo again. Needless to say we had a FUN time and it did not work as birth control if i can that mellow of a kid I would really love to have a baby. Hopefully sooner then later. And i already new this but Ian is so great with Kids and he is going to be an AMAZING Dad i cant wait.

A new toy maybe

2008-05-08T10:29:00.000-07:00

So for the last year i have wanted a Scooter/mo pad. Now that gas has gone up i really want one. My little SUV takes like $60 to fill and i do it like once a week. So i have decided of course i asked Ian if i could get one. We have his motorcylce but he wont let me drive it on the streets only in parking lots. So I told him i wanted one and he said that would be a great Idea so tonight i am going to check these two out. It is alot harder then i thought it would be i have NO CLUE about Scooters. There are alot of Pros(safe gas) and cons ( do i really want to ride to work everyday on it)so we will see. Any thoughts??

ITALY

2008-04-28T08:28:00.000-07:00

Italy was a blast for those of you who would like to see picture i have two disk and would love to share them. If you want to let me know and i will get a night together of snacks and fun and we can all go through the picture together. we had a lot of fun. We walked so much that i you would think i would have lost 10 pounds but i ate just as much as we walked. They eat a ton. It was also so funny because it was amazing weather and everyone there thought it was winter so they ware their winter coats. Brian said that it doesn't matter if it was 90 out side if it was in the winter months they would wear their coats. They wear things by season. I also got some fun Hosiery and some way cute boots. i will post more about it later.

Its been a long time

2008-04-28T08:22:00.000-07:00

So it has been a long time so i thought i would finally post Pictures from our sealing. It turned out to be such a great day. (It was a little windy). It was so amazing. There was no stress and we just enjoyed the day. It was great we were able to go home and take a nap and not even have to worry about a reception later. (not that i would suggest any one to get married and wait a year) It is so neat being in the Temple with all your Friends and Family. Thank you for all your love and support through the last year. We love all you guys tons.

Our Last year Memeories

2008-03-13T15:25:00.000-07:00

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Our 1st year has come and gone

2008-03-13T14:07:00.000-07:00

Ian gave me 1 Dozen long Rosses and 1 Dozen white they are soooo Pretty I love them. and I love Him lots. This year has gone by so fast. We have been through a lot. I cant wait for the rest of my life with him, i know there is much more instore for us.

In the Beginning

2008-03-13T14:01:00.000-07:00

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

It will all work out in the End

2008-02-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

So we called out dealership and told him we wanted to go look at a truck he had (the little black one you see below) on Wed night. We told him we would come in on the next night to look at it. Well he sold it. I told him why did you not call us to let us know, and the sales man he is said oh but lets go look at what i do have. So he showed us somethings but i didnt think anything he had would work for us. he had one more truck to show us. as i was walking up to it i looked at Ian and said there is no way we can buy that truck. It looked like a bran new truck. Way nice but the sticker said $13,999. So he said lets go in side and see what we can do for you. So the whole time i am like there is no way he can drop the sticker 6k for us to get to where we wanted to spend. Well he did he droped it 6K for us. He did not give us what we wanted on the trade but we Really needed to get ride of the blazer. It took us 2 hours and a tire change (we stoped and helped some one...why not we thought) every time we would get going it would die. So we decided to spend a little more and get a great truck. We are siging the paper in a half hour.

Rest in Peace

2008-02-28T11:51:00.001-08:00

The blazer is DEAD!!! So we were tying everything we could to keep it going but we must put the old blazer to rest. It has 220K miles so i think its run long enough. Of course murphey's law hit we where going to pay it off by next month. but it will good, the blazer eats up gas. Also, with Ians work if he uses a truck to haul stuff they give him money so really his truck payment will be paid by his work. but its hard to think we are going to get ourselves into more debt. So we decided that a truck will be the best and here is the picture of the one we are going to look at tonight.

I finally Made it

2008-02-28T09:33:00.000-08:00

So i made it... I went through the temple this past weekend. It is so neat. I get to go through the rexburg Temple this weekend with my really close friend who is going for the first time. She is going on her Mission.

I called the temple and i am going to go through on February 23 and we will be sealed on the 12th of April in the Dallas Temple. We have to wait tell April b/c we are going to Italy to pick up Brian from the Mission. ITs going to be so neat. Brian will report his mission the same weekend. I know its in Dallas but anyone who want to come can join us!!!! i cant wait. ( i also get to buy a new Dress, i dont want to wear my wedding dress again so i am going to buy a cute White fu fu dress) If any one sees one let me Know:).

Some sad and some GREAT

2008-02-07T09:08:00.000-08:00

Lets start with the Great news... On sunday after stake conference the Bishop wanted to meet with me so of course i said yes and knew it meant a new calling but what i was not sure. Drum roll.... I am the new Assist. Camp Director. I am soooo happy this is one of my favirote past times from YW. I hope i can do well i have never been to girls camp in Utah. I am exited about the other Director she is an awesome girl. We are going to have soo much fun. So with the new calling an reading the book the sad news is that we have decided to pay off all our debt(paying off debt is not sad) and then buy a house...So no house for us quite yet. It is ok though we want to be smart and set our selfs up good, and i really want to fullfill this calling.

Talk Radio

2008-02-07T09:01:00.000-08:00

So i have recently started listeing to talk radio...Which to me means i am getting old. I am reading this amazing book called the Total Money Makeover by dave Ramsey. It is so awesome and because i can sit and listen to music at work i decided to listen to his radio show. It is way cool to listen to people sucsses story and to see how many dumb people there are out there. It makes me feel better about my situation when I hear where some people are. Me and Ian sat down and came up with a plan to be debt free by Sept 2009 my car and all :) Anyways everybody should read this book its so awesome.

SNOW SNOW go away

2008-02-06T08:20:00.000-08:00

So it wont stop snowing as most of you know. Today it started snowing like an hour before i left for work. I got up and thought that i would be alittle early to work (which is great b/c i usally pull a haney and late to everything). So i got in the car and rolled my way to work. It took me 40 min to get to work today. It usually only takes like 10-15. What a way to start the day. And my work is FREezing cold. I just want the sun.

Tooth is back to good

2008-02-06T08:17:00.000-08:00

So my tooth is fixed and all is well...well sort of my jaw is still a little sore but i feel good. Its nice feeling good again.

Tooth Problems

2008-02-01T14:43:00.000-08:00

SO i had a root canal done on Wed. Let me tell you this was way past due. It did not hurt so bad the while he was doing it but at 4 am i woke up in horrible pain. He could not get me in untill 4 that afternoon. so i had to work all day in this bad pain. But then he drilled it alittle and all that hurts is where he had to put the shots. So he told me that this was a really bad tooth he had a hard time with it. It bleed for 10 min and would not stop. And i wondered why my jaw hurt so bad. anyway problem is fixed and i hope to be eating on that side again very soon. its been a long time... I am also losing alot of weight due to the lack of tonsile and tooth problems i have not eaten much.

2008-01-28T12:13:00.000-08:00

So me and Ian are thinking about buying our first home :) It is very tiring. We found one we love and then it was taken from us so we are going to try again. I dont know if i can take the heart ache again. I get my hopes up and then we are to late. Also we had to make the decsion to rent and have to deal with the boys up stairs, a landlord and a old place that i cant do how i like things(although i did re paint the Bathroom and it looks mighty good now) and Live in a nice area OR buy our own place that i can paint and do whatever i want to it but live on the worng side of the tracks. It has been a humbling expericnce for me miss snot. But when we are both going to school we just dont have the money to get what we would really like and we dont want to "Keep up with the Jones" and get debt to look good. So here is the house we are thinking about putting a offer on... (its real small but has a Huge yard so i can get the dog i want(Ian does not know yet) :)

2008-01-22T08:37:00.000-08:00

So Me and Ian went to my G-ma and G-pa 65 wedding anniversy. It was so neat to see after 65 years that they are still mad in love with each other. It was also my G-mas 83 birthday. It was fun seeing all the family and all the new babies and all the mommies with babys to come. I think Me and Rachel are the only ones who are not prego or just had a baby. (at least those who are married). It was fun spending all day in the Kithchen with Goerge he is a funny one. (I dont think i had a choice in that matter everytime i would go down stairs to rest he would start yelling for me to come up and help seems everyone else left him) For some reason he thinks i am my Mom and can Cook like her. Although i would have to say that everything i made did turn out Yummy like my moms (thanks mom for all your recipes). All in all it was fun hanging with the family i am so gratefull we are a close family.

The journey Cont.

2008-01-22T08:09:00.000-08:00

So i am so bad at updating This thing. So i went to the Doctor for my "follow Up" and he said evertyhing looks good i still have a little healing to do but all in all eeverything looks good...At least as far as my surgrey went. My jaw has always been giving me tons of problems and after my surgrey it has been real bad. on top of that my ear is killing me. SO i asked the dr. about it and he looked at my ear and put his hands on my jaw and said well your ear looks good but i think you have TMJ (he said he cant tell me for sure b/c he is a ENT Docotor) but he was preaty positive that is what is causing my ear pain and gave me a specialist... so the journey does not end here is i think i am on the climax right about now...everything is happing and hopefully soon it will start to go down and i will be good to go. I sure hope so after all i have been through although when its baby time i REALLY HOPE i dont get to sick. Good thing i have a loving husband who is patient with my broken body.

2007-12-19T14:26:00.000-08:00

So here are a few pictures from our wedding reception in Arlington.

lets make this the last

2007-12-19T14:20:00.000-08:00

So tomorrow is the big day!!! I am officially going to have my second surgery of the year and have a tonsillectomy. Fun stuff. I am actually not looking forward to it (which if anyone is they are sick and wrong) But i have to get up at 5:30 AM i asked the nurse if she was for reals and she said " I normally don't joke about these kind of things". So my none morning person has to be. Hopefully the new year will start off a good one with plenty of good HEALTH:)

INTRO to our lives

2007-10-26T10:19:00.000-07:00

as the title says this will be the INTRO to who we are. Me and Ian meet 2 years ago working togther at Skywest airlines. Funny story i really liked him so i kept asking him to train me( i went out to the ramp so i had to have one) He would always say yes but he had no clue i liked him. He says that i flirted with everyone. ( which is true a little boy crazy back in the day) i kept asking him to help me move and he would always refuse but one day several weeks later he said "yes"!!! So after the moving day we hung out preaty much every day. I got scared at the same time i tore my MCL and so i told him i was moivng back to TEXAS!! It was hard i really liked him but off i went. 6 months later i asked him to come visit, he did and then every weekend after that for 3 months. SOooo we decided to get married. In October 2006 i moved back to Utah ( he had to ask me to marry him before i would move back here, bad move i should have made him move to texas:) to late now i am stuck) We got married on March 10 2007. We now live in surgar house and love our ward. There you have it the readers digiest version

2007-10-26T10:11:00.000-07:00

I thought i would start a blog to keep peps posted, although i dont know how well keept up it will stay! It will in the begining and hopefully it will stay that way...bare with me:)
