Last rotten post. i promise. :D
So i meant to finish my 2010 blogging long ago, especially after ending my last as i did. Sorry if i confused anyone...
(thank you nicole for letting me use my emails to you as my posts.. they were my at the moment experience. Thank you for that and a million things.)
SO ...the last day in disneyland i found out i was pregnant again. I was super super exctied. We went in for our 8 week, 1st appointment for our 2nd baby and the second i saw that pitch black sac i knew. it was so empty. :( i wanted to run out of there. go back to bed. hope to wake up again and start the day over. Everything felt so normal, like with my Brynlee. The Dr looked and looked and looked. nothing. He was trying to be optimistic, but he was not hopeful. He told us to come back in a week to see if anything had developed, but he was pretty sure it was a blighted ovum.. Thats basically a Sac with no baby in it. For some reason or another it just didnt form, or it did and something wasnt totally right in the beginning so it stopped. I didnt know how to feel, other than Heartbroken.

our appointment didnt go as we hoped on the 17th. Our sac was bigger, and still just as empty. It was starting to "collapse" in places, but kept growing in others, so the dr. felt it would be safer to take care of it sooner than later for my safety. we went to the temple the day before and felt so much better. going into the appointment i just had a feeling of peace. that no matter what we saw it would be ok. I told my dr before we started that i didnt want to rush a d&c but wanted my body to start on its own.. but for some reason after seeing it again, and talking to my husband we both felt like it wasnt time for this baby...as horrible and sad as it felt, but that we would be blessed with more later.

side note..I really have liked my dr. He's nice, and he'll answer any questions. He gave us lots of good "im sorry guys".. but at this appointment with him.. while we're still discussing the definite unviability of this pregnancy he's sidestepping to the door. Now i know i've kept him..5 whole min. but this is important to me to know 100% that im making the correct choice...he's one of those really GOOD medical kind of dr's but im beginning to see what happens when you get TOO busy and stop being a good PERSON kind of dr.

So, he doesnt like the size and shape of the sac. My husband and i talk, and we decide the D&C is what we should do. My dr's office has a Medical section downstairs.. so i scheduled it for the next morning so that my Dr. who i was most comfortable with,... could do the procedure. It was that fast or wait 2 weeks when he worked again. we scheduled it for 10:30 am the next day..

The morning came. i was all kinds of emotional. so im ok one second. not the next. you know how these hormones are. even in normal situations. but in this one. they are even more of a roller coaster. So we wait. and wait. we wait in the waiting room for over an hour. Then they call us back. have me change and go to the prep room for the iv part. so i change. we go in there, and wait.. and wait. uncomfortable in a robe, crying every few min. husband is fuuuming that im sitting there so long waiting. One more hour goes by. Lots of On and off moments with my own depleting box of tissues. The most wonderful nurse in the world is in and out to check on me.. give me an iv, and talk me through things. .. She said the Anesthesiologist will be in to talk to me, then also dr biere, my dr will come in. Well after waiting an hour and 45 min in the room the anesthesiologist comes in for a couple seconds excuses my husband and takes me to the OR. A big sweet, gentle husky biker looking man with a big tatoo helps me untie my gown and helps me onto the table, and the anethesiologist gives me a quick dose of some great meds..and im out. I wake up sobbing with my sweet nurse wiping my tears in the recovery room. thank heavens for her. we wait a bit longer, they get my husband there, and tell me how it went. There was more bleeding.. (im sorry this is so too much information i know.. but i think as im just typing its helping release some of the feelings. anyways i had to get some monster shot in my thigh to simmer down the bleeding, and increase the cramping. so my sweet nurse go that taken care of while i was still out :D. yay again for her. Well they help me get dressed, then help me up and out.

Notice anyone missing during that whole ordeal. .. How about my Lame Dr! He didnt come in to see me ONCE. i was IN HIS FLIPPING OFFICE FOR 3 HOURS before he came in. i mean a flight of stairs away! Thats why i wanted it there and not up the street at the hospital. I understand the anesthesiologist was quick with the meds, so maybe i fell asleep before he came in. but what about the 2 hours i was waiting in my robe, worrying and crying about the whole situation. sitting on a cold chair. waiting. And what about the hour Post Op? Cant you come see how i am. or tell me how it went. walk down the stairs to say anything to us?? Its not like i was having a normal procedure. i was losing a baby. that may be just routine to him, but i feel like how heartless can a person get?! Dont I deserve to be concerned about.. from my DR?! I I wish i was so brave that i could look a Dr in the eye and tell him he's an over scheduled insensitive jerk who cares more about fitting as many women into his day, than whats really important... I wish i could be so bold and brave.. lets get real..

my sisters dr. wiped my sisters tears during her miscarriages. she held her hand during the IV.

I hate change. I hate the trial and error period in finding someone youre comfortable with. after that i hated my dr.

So i was supposed to go back in 2-4 weeks later for a post op. yea, i went somewhere else for sure. My new dr now is wonderful and all things are as they should be. Hopefully soon i'll be able to post about a new happy pregnancy, but that i have learned will be on the lords time, not mine.. :D

October 2010

2011-02-04T14:37:00.000-08:00

This is soo late.. and by time i get to the next post i'll probably have another

Disneyland post to do.

What can I say. We are Disneyland Junkies. :D

So last OCTOBER We planned a trip to Disneyland. My parents were already in Cali on an Anniversary trip so we planned the trip around them so they could meet us for the last part of their trip and enjoy some Disney fun. We invited all who could come..(wishin ash and kt couldve) And headed out.

So here's the scratch on the knee about this trip.

October is one of our favorite Times to go to Disneyland because its essentially dead.

No lines. No crowds. Ever... or so i though.

i forgot about three rotten letters.

U.E.A.

Someone once told me that it stands for Utah Enters Anaheim, And now I believe it!

It was SOOO Crowded.. and a tiny bit dissapointing to tell you the truth.

***

I recently read a friends blog who went to Disneyland and the park met it Compassity~and her post was STILL about how wonderful it was.

And she is right

Its Disneyland after all. Right?!

Who cares about the crowds. It is afterall the Happiest Place on Earth!

So thats all i'll say about the bummer part.

Here are the Wonderful parts~for there are many more to show you.

.. and now a picture post. lots of pictures. some commentary :D

Boo LOVED the shuttle bus on the way to the park.

even if her face doesnt show it. :D

See? Even walking INTO the park looks happy!

Brynlee Boo did ALOT of this. Running running running and Laughing..

Hair is done.. First Visit Pins on! Time for Disneyland.

Look at boo's face. She's not amused.

Jett is handsome.

and Marley seems to be enjoying her new pin. Yum. :D

Lundynns First time in Disneyland.

The cute Baldwins

Shane met up with us later in the week.

The cute Mathews

Cute Aunt Alesa with Deedle (grey) to see Lightning McQueen!

Waiting Outside Tower of Terror.

I love this picture. Arent these boys cute?! Deedle loves his Uncle Jon.

We LOVED the stroller passes.

Half our group would go in on a ride. And Half of us would hang out with the kids.

Then we'd swap. :D Best time saver ever.

Gma Theresa with Marley Moo meeting Chip and Dale.

Deedle being silly in the Tower of Terror gift Shop. Silly Mad Hatter!!

And here's where the rest of our group was.. :D

Look how cute Marley is on the Lady Bug ride. How cute is it that Erin AND Paul took her on this. SO cute!

Gmpa Keith and Alesey takin Jett and Grey on the bugs life ride.

Boo did NOT want to ride this Carrosell.. until i put her on the horse and it started moving.. After that she LOVED it. Can you tell?

This was before she liked the horse and we rode it on the Bench.

see? more running. and laughing.

..because if you stop.. even for a second....

your Grandma will catch you!! :D

.. thats usually just as fun as running though.

Now, some wouldve advised against this. And normally i wouldnt have given her something so big .. with such a huge sticky mess potential...

But isnt life more fun when you can get sticky and messy once and a while?

Especially in Disneyland!

This was one of the Funniest parts of the trip. We were sitting waiting for a parade to start.. and Jett and Brynlee went into the empty street and started Dancing.

Look at Jett here!

He was pullin out all these moves that you cant even imagine. Everyone was laughing so hard. He was the pre show entertainment and he LOVED it. Dana was embarrassed, but we all thought it was hilarious. Brynlee tried to imitate Jett and danced around with her sucker in hand. :D

Ha ha. I got a turkey leg and we took funny pictures of us eating it like savages. I dont know where my picture went though.... :D haha. those are yuuumy.

a little more cute performing.. and the parade was about to begin..

Boo had the Best seat in the park!

i adore this picture.

Alesey.. you are the cutest.

Paul and Marley moo loved the Parade!

And for this reason, this darling picture of my sweet baby, i could care less about the sticky mess that we ended up using half our wipes to clean up.

I mean come on. Doesnt that sticky cheek just add to the cuteness!?

This cute, happy, sticky face is why we love Disneyland so much.

Look at the pure happiness. ha ha ha. Melts my heart into a sticky pile of goo. :D

Gma Theresa and Moo enjoying the parade together too!

Mom and Keith were seriously standing there waiting for the train and talking.. and i thought it looked so cute and cheesey so i took a picture..

I made them smile for this one.

isnt it so cute. It only took me about 20 times to get it.

I'll show you why later. Keith likes to do anything but smile in pictures..

And sometimes Erin wants to join the fun! ha ha ha.

DAY 2!!

First thing we did on the Second day was go wait in line at Pixie Hollow to see the Faries.

There was a tiny line so we jumped right in line. (tiny meant not 2 hours minimum. we still waited at least 45 min and chatted with all the utah teachers and families around us. UEA.. uh..)

Boo Loved looking at all the fairy houses. She was in heaven.

Smelling all the Big Flowers!

looking at all the cool fairy things!!

And then it was our turn. Boo was nervous. (she had a bad little habit of biting her nails when she was nervous... and speaking of bad. my hair. yikes. )

tink was darling.

and of course as soon as we walked out she wouldnt stop saying "tinka bell!!"

This was a lucky little moment.. we were walking by Snow Whites fountain, and there she was! She was the sweetest thing ever! Brynlee loved her. She just stood there and smiled at her!

This is a Cute Daddy with his Boo on Dumbo.

Oh how i wish she'd keep things on her head. Look how cute! i wouldve bought them if i knew she wouldnt through them off faster than i can even get a good picture. O well. maybe next time. she's such a cute minnie~

Its a small world=toddler bliss.

even in line. :D

Hi Paul and Erin.

Now i must explain the next 4 pictures. Yes i know they look identicle..but let me refer back to a previous picture. rememember the one with mom and keith. Rememeber i meantioned how it took me 20 shots.. here's why.

This is what happends when i try to get keith to smile for a picture.

Mom and Alesa. I apologize for the random duplicates.

Remember.

Watch Keith in the Back.

Me: "Smile Guys! Cute alesa. Mom. grey. Keith. look here and smile"

"Keith !"

Cute of everyone.. but .. Keith!!! One more time..

"say cheese! "....."KEITH!!!....

He is the Funniest Dad in the world. ha ha ha. He really doest this all the time.. and its soooo funny!!! ha ha ha I love him!

Moo LOVED its a small world. She did this pretty much the whole time!!

Cute Gma Theresa and Deedle. What a sweetie.

i love this face. She'd just woken from a nap so the energy was craaazy!

see... look at her joy.. freedom.. running.. this is WONDERFUL!!!

jon doesn't look as thrilled.

this one made me nervous. in the sea of strollers lets play a game of where's Brynlee. Can you see her? she's there. She was just moving WAY too fast for Jon. yikes.

just more running..

...and laughing...because when youre 1, who cares about the crowds!

We had special tickets for later that night after the park closed to dress up and go to the Halloween Party.

Boo as you can see was Minnie Mouse.

Like i said earlier, she wont keep ears on

So i made her Pigtails be her Minnie ears.

Jett was an awesome Iron Man!

Grey was a Basketball player. A TIRED basketball player who slept through all the trick or treating and Dance Parties.

This is a better picture of her Minnie Ears.

Brynlee LOVED the Halloween Party. She was so hyper for it being so late~

Even Moo was super happy!

There were big Character dance parties throughout the park. This is Buzz Lightyears Dance Party. It was so Cute. And so fun!

See how much fun Jon was having?!

We were waiting for the firework show.

(Does anyone find it interesting that men can walk for hours straight playing golf, but as soon as they are shopping.. or.. say.. waiting for something, like fireworks, all they can concentrate on is finding the nearest seat..or in this case the nearest germ, gum, and popcorn infested spot in the middle of the street to lay down on? funny guy!)

.. And then later there was the parade!! Look at B's Face. She was in Heaven!!

She danced the entire time!

and LOOK! Deedle even woke up to see the parade!! he's so cute.

<3>

You'd think she'd be out of energy at this point.. but she was still just bounding off the walls!

Our last day at the park. Jon was really sick with the stomach flu, so he stayed in the hotel all day while we went to the park.

We got lucky here too. We were just in the Animation Building here and all of a sudden Mickey, Cinderella and Woody came walking in.

This Picture is from Playhouse Disneys Live show. It was soooo cute. They shot out leaves during the My Friends Tigger and Pooh part. Im so sad that show is over. total bummer. Boo LOVED it. She gathered as many paper leaves as she could before they cleaned up. :D

We had time for one last ride...

got back to the Hotel and Boo CRASHED!

And then the sad day came.. and we had to go home. :(

Now its just time to plan our next Disneyland Trip!

o wait. we have. see you in a few weeks mickey!

one more thing.
a little forshadowing for the next post.
the last thing i did in cali was take one of these. and it looked just like this one.

Updating.

2011-01-19T13:41:00.000-08:00

Ive been working on a post from the end of the year. i really want to do some catching up on blogging. For me. I know its not possible to go back as far as i'd like.. but i'll at least post from Sept. '10 on. with a few before pics thrown in here and there.

Oh Fall of '10..

im so glad you are

OVER. :D

Ok. here we go.

Time for some Updates!

I guess cause my update was a draft for so long its posting below this public announcement.. :D

so see below for my latest post.

Sometimes hard FALLs hurts.

2010-11-27T23:38:00.000-08:00

Ive been trying to figure out how to write this LONG post without sounding like a total downer. But maybe thats just what i need to feel better.

Get it all out.

Out of my head. and heart.

OUT. not for good. just for now.

FALL is one of my favorite seasons. I look forward to it every year..

We had such high hopes for Fall 2010.

Unfortunately I think we started out on the wrong foot.

We definately had some great moments.. I'll get to those ones too~ They include some seriously cute pictures of my Boo in the Happiest Place on Earth~But the majority was one big biff and FALL~(like my play on words? yea. i know. cheesey. whatever)

Sept. 25. Ouchy Fall #1. The Bite.

My wonderful mother in law got tickets for me and my sister in laws to go to the Relief Society General Broadcast. The day came and my SIL Ang couldnt come so my sister Alesa came with us instead.

Brynlee was going to be staying with her Daddy and GrandDad at GDads house while the girls left. Now first let me say I trust those men 100% with Brynlee, i just knew there would be a game on and the chances of men watching a super into everything 18 month old, and a football game at the same time would be nearly inconceivable. :D So i asked~and bugged Jon to "PLEASE~keep a close eye on her." I was really apprehensive about going. But despite my anxiety, i thought I better go to the Broadcast. Ill have a good time.. she'll be fine.

We left a little late so when we got there parking was almost impossible to find. We dropped off half of our car and me and my sil Kourtney miraculously found a parking spot a block away from the Conf. Center.

We got there just in time. Sat down, and started singing the opening Hymn.

Count your Blessings.

When we started singing this all i could think about was my Brynlee boo, and i started getting all choked up. I couldnt understand what my deal was. Why was i getting choked up and crying over a happy song. I really felt so blessed to have such a sweetie.

But immediately after the song, i started getting a bad feeling. The first speaker had just begun and and knew something was wrong with Brynlee. I had the distinct impression and thought of Stiches come into my mind, and that i wasnt there. but needed to be.

I imediately grabbed my phone and at that second jonny was calling me.

He knew i was in a meeting.

I knew something was wrong.

I accidently picked it up, and hung up quick to send a text, but he'd already sent one and i hadnt seen or heard it cause my phone was on silent. His text said

"can you step out and call me real quick"

crap. something was wrong.

so i practically ran over the ladies in the row and booked it up the stairs.

I called jon and he informed me that Brynlee had been biten.

My inlaws dog Fred, a springer spaniel had bit her in the right cheek.

I asked how bad it was. He said they were in the ER waiting for the Specialist. I said i was on my way, booked it back into the conf. center. Sobbing. and as i was half way down the stairs Kourtney turned around and saw me. she had just got the text from Angie (who we missed with us but thank heavens she was there to rip fred off Brynlee and stay with and help with her at the ER) Anyways the text said "take jenelle out and call jon." so she knew something was wrong too, saw me crying and they all jumped up and ran out too. Im sure everyone was wondering what the heck was going on.

The parking spot was a tender mercy.

We got to the car so fast.

Not passing any cops was another Tender mercy.

Kourtney, my sister in law FLEW to the Davis Hospital.

It was a 30 min drive in 15 min.

The whole way there I was terrified. Nervous. Angry. So many emotions but at the same time i felt peace. I felt the Spirit comforting me. Helping me say calm.

When we go tto the Hospital Angie was waiting outside. She told me it looked worse than it was.. ( it was actually as bad as it looked) My sweet Brynlee was being just as sweet and happy as always. PLaying with her GrandDad.

Jon looked like a wreck. worriying in the corner.

3 Puncture wounds

One in the middle of her Left Cheek.

One under that cheek. This one was the biggest. deepest. worst

and the last was by her mouth. About where the top corner of her binki hits.

She had lots of Bruises across her cheek and on her forhead from his paws.

A couple of years ago i came across a wonderful persons blog. I found it from my husbands cousins blog one day while i was surfing blogs.

I love the way she writes. I love her pictures. And i fell in love with her blogging.

well, a few years ago when i found her blog if read that her gorgeous Baby girl had been biten by a dog too.

So i followed her blog. saw the progress this sweet girl made, and

Read the testimony and strength this mother had.

I just kept thinking about her when i saw my Boo. It wasn't a coincidence that i came upon this blog years earlier.. I needed to read it. To see that its going to be ok.

I contacted her, and she gave me all sorts of wonderful advise and calming words for our situation. who'd of thought a tender mercy could've come from blog surfing.

little did i know what an enormous blessing this stranger would be to me. in this trial.. and yes.. even later this fall for the next..

We had to wait a while for the Plastic Surgeon to get there.. he was coming from the Uof U game..And Boo was just great the whole time. Alesa had some stickers that kept her entertained, and Kourt went and got me a change of clothes. Thank heavens for sisters.

The Plastic Surgeon Came in and immediately knew we'd need stitches. did i meantion i was terrified. What kind of scars would a bunch of stiches leave?! He assured me not as bad of scars as if we left these ones open.

Jon gave Brynlee a beautiful Fathers blessing before we changed rooms. Im so thankful I have such a wonderful Husband, who honors his priesthood, and was able to give his baby such a special blessing.

As soon as we got into the other room they gave her a shot of a sedative. it was called Kedamine? and it was HORRIBLE. basically it makes her limp as a noodle. So i have to hold her there while she gets the shot and wait for her to go limp in my arms. This scared the crap out of me. As soon as her little hands stopped playing with her sheet of stickers, they grabbed her from me to put her on the oxygen, hr monitor, and start the stitching. She wasnt awake.. but she wasnt sleeping.. she was just whimpering . They said she couldnt feel anything, that she was just uncomfortable being held down.I was so worried.. and jon was in the corner .. still.. worried sick. not saying a word.. The medicine was supposed to last long enough for the Dr. to stitch her up, then we'd wait for her to wake, but he got as far as numbing her, and doing about 4 stitches on ONE puncture before her little metabolism burned through the meds. She started waking up so we had to have one nurse holding her head, one with her arms and on her body, and i had to hold her knees and feet while the dr stitched.

Brynlee was livid. She was still a little out of it, but aware enough now that she was being held down.

The nurse at her head was sweating because Brynlee was fighting so hard.

At one point we had to stop and wrap her in a blanket because her fighting was just too hard for all three of us adult women to hold her still enough.

15+ stiches, and two more antibiotic shots later they were done. They let me lay up on the bed and hold her and as soon as she was in my arms she fell asleep on my chest. We had to keep her on the oxygen for a while, but after about 45 min she started to wake up.

As soon as she saw her family standing there she started singing "popcorn popping" in her little groggy voice. She sang every word, and did all the actions.

Nothing gets this girl down!

The following days were difficult. Mostly for me i think. Brynlee was more concerned about the microscopic scratch on her knuckle than the huge punctures on her face. She would show me her knuckle and say "doggy bite" "ouchy".

We've had visits with a couple plastic surgeons, and they think she'll heal just fine. There will of course be scaring, but we dodged some serious bullets with this bite though. Location for one..thank heavens he didnt get her eye.. or her lips, or nose...and also the way the fatty cheek tissue isnt collapsing on her cheek..."count your blessings..name them one by one..."

One of the bites came open under the bandage, and produced a scab; a scars worst nightmare. So that one will be a little more noticeable, but overall she's doing fantastic. Healing remarkably, and i cant believe how great she looks, and so fast. I took tons of pictures right after. To document her progress.. and for insurance reasons.. and the progress is like night and day.

They say she'll have pink scars for about a year,maybe two, but they'll fade with time.

I think back often about that opening song we sang right before i found out about the bite.

Count your blessings.

name them one by one...

so i will. despite the struggle. or pain. Im going to choose to keep counting.

This was Brynlee the next day. She had the longest nap~

I think she was just completely tuckered out from the night before.

what a sweetie.

Did you notice her binki? We had to have the nurse cut it because the top corner was right on one of her wounds.

We called it the Phantom of the Binki look!

B pulled her Band-Aids off in the night.

You can see the bruising better as it heals.

At the Facial Specialist.

These princesses go everywhere with Brynlee.

Having fun picking out her first pumpkin of the season.

its amazing how fast and great these are healing.

we had one problem with the bottom bite.

we kept it moist.. alll the time it seemed.. but it kept on opening.. and a scars worst nightmare.. the scab appeared.

Brynlee is going to have to get this bottom bite redone.

Probably this september because of the way its healing.

the Plastic surgeon would like to stich it back up vertically.

And then maybe again when she's about 14. we'll see.

Its not sounding like it will be, but i hope next sept. turns out better than this one.

Octobers fall isnt bad. more like a scratch on the knee ;D

And there are some Cute Disney pictures of my boo.

so stay tuned.

Chalk

2010-08-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

I need to play catch up.. im a good 6+ months behind.. but in the mean time here's a pic of my not so little sweetie enjoying the chalky last days of summer.

Birthday Pictures.

2010-02-17T11:50:00.000-08:00

Get ready for some seriously cute Birthday Pictures.

Brynlee was a little stinker the whole time. Her cute little friend Sawyer was an angel baby. Smiling, Laughing, Posing!

Brynlee gave me maybe 3 smiles the whole time. The rest of the shoot was DRAMA.

Oh well.

Here's a sneek peek at her "Trash the Cake" segment.

She loved to pick the white dots off ONE dot at a time.

Funny Girl

New Camera+Cute Model=FUN PICTURES

2010-02-11T22:19:00.000-08:00

Im so glad i have such a cutie to take pictures of while i learn how to use the new cool camera Jon got me for Christmas. After all she IS the reason for wanting a better Camera. Im super slow at learning how everything works..There are so many aspects that go into getting a good picture and dont even get me started with Photoshop. I might be able to speak Chinese before i get a hang of it! But im trying and i think little by little I'll get there. Im not goin for anything professional, just something I love and can say i did hanging on my still bare.. after 3 years... walls.

(I took this picture but my cute friend helped me play with the vintage look. shes trying to teach me bless her heart. :D haha.)

Brynlee and Santa

2009-12-30T09:43:00.000-08:00

Brynlee's first visit with Santa~

I had a little bit of last min shopping to do on the 24th so me and Brynlee headed down to the mall. I hadn't planned on getting her picture done with Santa, but as we walked by there was no line~ So i thought what the heck. :D

Brynlee LOVED Santa.

She was giving us all sorts of smiles and laughs..

Too bad this is the best the photographer got. :(

O well though. At least its a little smile~and a better one than Santa gave for the picture too :D

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Ya Better Watch out Ya better not CRY...

2009-12-13T20:47:00.001-08:00

i just came across this picture on my computer so i thought I'd share.

It's so sad~But so cute. :D

My friend Hollie just got a new camera so we played with it while we went on a little walk... Isnt she great?! I mean seriously.. these are the cute little faces you want to remember, and she caught it perfectly!

ps. b was actually really happy. she just was having a moment.. like she often does. :D

2009-09-15T22:38:00.000-07:00

Tonight while Jon and I were having dinner I set Brynlee down on a Blanket to play with some toys...

But she was NOWHERE is sight!

So i went into my family room..

Could you just DIE at how cute these girls are??

Katie and I have so much fun Dressing our Girls alike.

We cant wait for Baby Marley to be here to join the fun!

Katie got these DARLING matching Jammies at Target so we couldn't resist a quick photo shoot...(thanks kate!)

All we had was a phone camera, and we had to take it fast so its a little blurry, but they all still look so cute!

4 of my Favorite People.

2009-08-22T21:33:00.000-07:00

Brynlee Boo, Gwampa Keif, Towi Towi, and Gama Teesa

(Brynlee,Keith, Tori and Theresa)

These Girls LOVE Their Grandma and Grandpa!!

Yes we knew they were going to be dressed alike but we didn't "PLAN" it..That just always happens. :D

Cereal. Yuck.

2009-08-15T17:08:00.001-07:00

We tried giving Brynlee Cereal for the first time last Sunday. She went right after it but was shocked to actually have it in her mouth! Learning the spoon has turned out to be alot harder than I thought. I swear i get more cereal on me than i do in her mouth. This is going to be a tricky new step I think. :D

First Words?!

2009-08-10T12:21:00.000-07:00

Ok, so maybe she IS too young to say her first word already..i know she's just making sounds. But isnt that all words are? Just sounds? :) Its crazy but listen close. I swear she says ALESA!

4 MONTHS OLD!

2009-07-06T15:05:00.001-07:00

Oh No!

Its happend again!

ANOTHER MONTH has gone by!!!

Where does the time go?

My Sweetie Petey is getting SO big!

Here are some of the new things Brynlee is doing...

1.She's mastered rolling from her belly to her back.

2. She'll roll from her back to her side

(she's so close rolling all the way back to her belly!)

3. She's found her thumb and LOVES to suck on it. Sometimes her other fingers find their way into her mouth and make her Gag really hard. Its funny!

4. She will drench at least 3 outfits a day in Drool!

5. She Loves to kick kick kick and swing her arms when she gets really excited.

6. She's loving her toys, rattles and anything bright that moves and makes sound in front of her face!

7. She is really good at falling asleep WHEN her eyes are covered with her blanket. This one is weird but she'll go right to sleep when i cover her eyes. :D

8. She wakes up SO SO cute and Happy, Like we are the most exciting thing she's ever seen in her life. I LOVE getting her after her naps.

9. Brynlee is starting to really really laugh. She has the cutest little belly laugh. It usually takes mommy and daddy doing something really silly and embarrassing or tickling her to get her to do it, but when she does it i want to burst with happiness.

10. She gets cuter and cuter every day.. How is that possible? :)

I love my baby girl.

Here are some fun Pictures I took of Brynlee on her 4 month birthday!

Brynlee loves to look at herself and smile!

Look! She found her toes! :)

such a silly billy

I LOVE THIS BABY!!!!

The many cute faces of Brynlee!!!...

chinS and Cheeks are the BEST!

These last 4 months have been so fun. Crazy and tiring, but they've been so awesome.

Yes, she has her moments where i swear i gave birth to a banchee, but she is for the most part an excellent baby. She's been sleeping through the night since she was 9 weeks old, she is a great little eater, and she makes me the happiest mommy in the whole world with just a little smile.

I am so luck to have such a wonderful baby.

Happy 4 Months Sweet Baby Brynlee!

My Little Lady..BUG

2009-06-10T14:01:00.000-07:00

Today I gave Brynlee her FIRST PIGGY TAILS!

(pretty good for only 3 months old)

They were more like lady bug antennaes though with her cute outfit from Grandma Theresa!

I cant stand how CUTE and Chubby my little bug is!

My sweet little lady bug became quite the stink bug when she'd had it with the pictures and she was ready for her nap. What a priceless scowl!

(she later became a literal sting bug when she completely pooped up the back of her diaper and into her new lady bug outfit. bummer. )

O WELL... stink bug or not ... She's still the cutest bug I've ever seen. :D

Bbbzzzzzzz....

2009-06-04T08:33:00.000-07:00

On Monday we went to the bees game with our cute friends the Umbrells. It was alot of fun for the hour we were there before that monster of a storm came in. My baby is getting so big! Isnt she cute in her bees game yellow?

Ali~Kate~and Emy.

2 Months Already?!?

2009-05-07T09:21:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my Sweetie turned 2 Months Old.

She is getting cuter and bigger Everyday.

Im starting to feel sad that its going SO fast, but all the new things she does are SO FUN.

Brynlee loves to smile back at you and she is even starting to make cooing sounds.

Every day gets better and better!

Even the NIGHTS are getting good. Brynlee is now sleeping pretty consistently through the night! And napping pretty good through the day ( with the exception of her evening nap. :))

I cant believe how much i love this little girl.

Happy 2 Months Baby Brynlee!

(Brynlee at 2 Months! Such a big girl! )

Oh my gosh, Don't you just want to squeeze her?? :)

Brynlee's Cute Cousin Shelby

2009-05-01T08:57:00.000-07:00

Brynlee and i spent the day at Katie's yesterday so Katie could take some pics of Brynlee in her Blessing Dress. We have so much fun with the little girls.

Isn't Shelby's new doll so cute? :)

(Don't worry i was sitting in the bathroom right next to Brynlee so she didn't fall :D )

Shelby is so cute with Brynlee! Later that night Brnlee was crying and it made Shelby so sad that she started crying too, and Shelby kept on saying "Oh Honey!...Honey!..." to try to calm Brynlee down. Such a good Cousin!

Twinner Diaper girls!

We got so many cute pictures! (Thanks kt!)

We sure love hangin out with Kt and Shelby!

I cant get enough of this baby.

2009-04-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

I seriously cant get enough of this baby. :D We're always taking funny pictures during her "awake time" :D

This is me doing more picture therapy cause Jon is gone and Brynlee is screaming. :( uhg.

Picture Therapy

2009-04-16T20:02:00.000-07:00

Today i was felling kinda sad because my munchkin doesn't fit in her newborn feety jammies any more. Brynlee is 6 weeks today, and i just cant believe how time flies. She is getting so big. Even though it makes me sad how fast its going I am loving the the rolly thighs.. and those cheeks....mm mmm mmmm are getting bigger every day.

So to make myself feel better i took a look at all the pics from the past 6 wonderful :) (that smileys for u mom) weeks and enjoyed a little picture therapy. Here are a.. few. enjoy :)

Brynlee at the Hospital

Chillin on Mom and Dads Bed

I cant believe she was this Tiny. She totally hangs off of this now.

Cute little eyes

Sleeping on mom. Look at those skinny little arms.

Tubby Time!!!

All Clean :D

Hangin with Daddy.

Daddy's Girl

2009-04-07T20:35:00.000-07:00

Apparently we're going through a Little Phase...This is Brynlee in the Middle of the night.. and sometimes in the middle of the day with Mommy....

Jonny has been sick, so I haven't (at my request) had much help from him lately. Well he's feeling better, so tonight when he got home, and she finished eating I handed her over and jumped in the shower...honestly expecting to hear her fuss the whole time like she usually does at night when she's tired....And of course i walk downstairs to THIS...

I think its safe to say Brynlee is DEFINITELY A DADDYS GIRL!

ONE MONTH OLD!!!

2009-04-06T22:21:00.000-07:00

Today our Baby Brynlee is ONE MONTH old. I cant believe how fast time goes. It feels like we just barely brought her home, At the same time i cant remember life without her. She really is the most wonderful thing that has ever happend to us! Happy One Month Baby Girl!

I LOVE THIS BABY!!!

5 Hours ago....

2009-01-07T16:20:00.001-08:00

Jonny's little brother entered the MTC... He's going to Guatemala too! Pretty crazy huh!? It'll be fun for Jonny to hear about his experiences and places he goes, and know exactly what and where he's talking about!
He's going to be the best missionary. He was all smiles at the MTC, Even when it was time to say good-bye he was smiling!
(Until he hugged his Gramps, then everyone started crying.)
I love having Brothers (in law) :D

5 years ago...

2008-12-31T15:44:00.000-08:00

....I had the BEST New Years Eve when Jonny got home from Guatemala!

I seriously cant believe it's already been 5 years!!!Time Flies! But what a fantastic 5 its been! I cant wait for the next 5!

(These pics were taken...maybe the day after Jon got home. Doesn't he look SO young?!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

My Hopeless Romantic ~Unconscious~ Husband.

2008-12-03T14:40:00.001-08:00

My sweet Jonny talks in his sleep quite often. He's quite the active sleeper too, to be honest. I consider myself lucky to have escaped thus far without a broken nose, or cheek bones for all the times I've been elbowed, or slugged in the face. :D He says the funniest things. I wish I was conscious enough to write them down. I think i need to keep a pen by the bed. :D

Well the other night the funniest thing happened.

I woke up because Jonny started SINGING. In his Sleep! and then to my surprise, he reached down, grabbed my hand and kissed it. Then he fell right back asleep. Completely dead to the world, like he had never even moved to begin with.
I wish i could remember what he sang. I just laughed out loud. He of course didn't remember anything. :D
I love waking up and asking him about what he remembers. Its almost ALWAYS nothing. I love my sleep talking-and now singing Husband! He's the sweetest guy in the whole world!~Even in his Sleep!

Jon~i hope you re not embarrassed that i shared this. :) at least I'm not telling any bottomless stories. :D hahaha. 3

Our 24 Week Ultrasound

2008-11-24T10:56:00.000-08:00

Here are the Pictures of our 24 week Ultrasound. This was by far my FAVORITE appointment so far! We got to see so much detail of our little (still) Girl! Our little stinker had her hand up on her face the whole time, so it took forever to get any decent pictures. Our Ultrasound Tech was great. She just kept trying, and she ended up getting some great pictures i thought. I think her lips look like Jonny's.

This first picture is her profile facing right.. and the second is of her little arm and hand.

The first picture here is her Mouth open (her eyes only LOOK open

In the second you can see her Ear and her hand is on the top of the picture across her forehead. Check out those CHEEKS!

The last 3 are one of her face from a front shot, Its a little distorted, but this one is where i think her mouth really looks like Jonny's.

The second is a 2D profile picture.

and the 3rd is the VERY BEST picture of her little Face. I don't need to explain this one cause its so AWESOME! Isn't she the Cutest?! I sure think so.

If you cant tell what you're looking at they are mostly of her FACE. Try and find the nose and mouth..that makes it easier. Enjoy!

Im SO excited to have a little GIRL!

2008-11-24T10:34:00.001-08:00

THIS is one of the BIGGEST reasons I am SO excited to have a little GIRL!

Uncle Jon with Baby Shelby at Bear Lake. He Loves his Niece!

This is our friends little girl ALI. She LOVES Jon! She always comes over~Just walks in, and snuggles with Jon while he watches football. The other Sunday I came down from a nap and i found Ali sleeping on Jon. Apparently she came in and was out in two seconds! We love her!

Jonny is going to be the cutest Daddy. Every night he wants to watch our latest Ultrasound Video, and he always talks about how he can't wait until she's here! I love him.

Our Kenny Obsession

2008-11-24T09:41:00.000-08:00

OK, My mom and i have this funny, crazy, nerdy? FUN AWESOME obsession with going to Kenny Loggins Concerts. :D I remember being a little girl and listening to Kenny Loggins so I guess I've just always loved, and i have a sentimental thing for his music and voice. In 2002 my mom surprised me while on a birthday trip in California to our very first Kenny Loggins Concert together. Since then anytime he's in Utah or close to Utah we go see him. Its become one of my very favorite things to do with her!

Now its 2008, and it was MY turn to suprise HER! A few months ago i saw he was coming to Provo, so i got two tickets, and hoped she didn't see he was coming. I knew if she did she would call me immediately, so i was happy when the 19th came along and she still didn't know! I told her I wanted to spend the afternoon with her shopping for baby stuff to throw her off. Well she had some plans for later that night so i ended up having to tell her I was taking her somewhere, but i wasn't telling her where, and she'd miss her plans that night.

When we got to Provo I took some back roads to get to the Covey Arts Center where he was playing just to throw her off. ( Its a good thing i did too because when we left we went by the front/side, and there was a big projected picture of his name and face on the wall! ) I pulled into the parking lot and the lady directing traffic asks me "Are you here for Kenny Loggins" :( I said yes, feeling a little disappointed that that would be how she found out, but to my delight, she was distracted in her purse so she DIDN'T EVEN HEAR her! So we walked up, and there was a big picture of his face! She just kept laughing and telling me "NO WAY!" It was such and AWESOME surprise! She had NO idea!

It was a great concert! It turned out to be his Last of his Tour AND it was Sold Out! Besides the great show Kenny puts on, we Love to watch and laugh at all the weird women waving their arms and trying to dance! :D Its so painfully awkward! One lady he sang to even layed a big kiss on lips when he went in to hug her. Those ladies are crazy!

Lehi Mills and Zions bank were the sponsors, so after the concert they had a little party in the lobby and gave everyone food, and gifts!

Thanks for letting me mom~nap you Mom! :D I can't wait for Kenny Concert #9.. Whenever that'll be! (now you all know the extent of our geekyness! 8 concerts in 7 years. wow.)

Sorry the picture is so dark. At least you cant see my pregnant fat face! :D

Where did October. . . AND November Go?

2008-11-18T10:48:00.000-08:00

Does anyone know where October went? Its almost the end of November and Im just getting over October. Where did November go? Good Grief. Time is flying. Don't get me wrong. Let it fly! Im anxious for March.. But still... Its ALMOST DECEMBER?!?!

So I'm going to play a little catch up~ OK, a BIG catch up on the October/November Happenings...

We had a fun little Halloween party with 5 of the CUTEST kids in the world!

Grey was Jack Jack, Jett was Iron man, Shelby was the cutest Bee, Carter was Buzz Lightyear!, and Luke was the Cutest Squirt i've ever seen!

Kt and Luke~Don't you just want to SQUEEZE him ?!?!

On the 28th Alesa and I went out to Disneyland for some Halloween fun together, and she surprised me with the reservations at the DISNEYLAND HOTEL. It was so awesome! She wanted to stay somewhere close for me in case i got tired. Isn't she the Greatest!? :D
Here's a view from our room.(it felt so HIGH)

The Park was decorated SO CUTE! Pumpkins EVERYWHERE! My FAVORITE.

California Adventure was so cute too! They had more of a Candy Corn Theme going on.. EVERYWHERE.

Alesa also got us tickets to the Trick-or-Treat party that night! She went as a "casual snow white", and i went as... well we called me "a punkin in a pumpkin" :D

There were tons of Candy Stations to trick or treat at. It was like being a little kid again. :D ... It was pretty crowded as you can see...

And sometimes a little scary too!

Alesa didnt seem to think so though! :D

It was such a FUN NIGHT! Thanks again Alesa!

We went back to Disneyland for most of the next day, and who can go to Disneyland without enjoying one (or more!!)of THESE beauties!? This is one of my favorite parts.. the CHURRO! mmm!

Later that afternoon we headed to Northern California to do some Serious Pumpkin Carving! Check out all these crates!

Here i am carving away..

Ta da..

Alesa with the GIANT pumpkin...

Carvin with the ELDERS...

Here are my pumpkins. I only did 4 because i worked FOREVER on my last one... Check out all the AMAZING pumpkins ALESA did on Her Blog!

Batman and the Joker..

I like to call this the pregnant pumpkin...

Here's why i only did 4. I spent a whole day making my Grandpa Gary's picture into a Stencil...

It took forever with all the hole punching and carving...

But i think it turned out ok. I wanted to do this for Grandma Helen.It was my main pumpkin project! She loved it. :D

It was nice to finally relax after all the carving and Halloween Party craziness.
Me and Gma Lund.

THAT Friends and Family was OCTOBER.. now i'll take a deep breath, and head into November!!!

First things first...

On the 4th (yes election day) We celebrated this Handsome Guys Birthday!

I am seriously SO happy he was born, and that i get to be married to such an awesome Guy! For Jonny's birthday, he wanted to keep it low key, so the two of us went out to dinner. When we got home our cute neighbors brought him some great Cards they had made, and some hot chocolate. :) I gave his some AWESOME Cold Play tickets i had bought months ago, and let me tell you how awesome he is~ He LOVES ColdPlay, but he sold the tickets so he could get himself something small, and spend the money on the baby. Isnt he the best?? I love you JONNY!

On HIS Birthday,????? Jon brought me home a new "safe" car for the baby to be in, so its good-bye to my wonderful old little civic.

And Hello to my wonderful new Envoy! (sorry i dont have a picture)

Another highlight was ditching work early to go see a movie with my Mom and Alesa! The best part was we were the only 3 people in the WHOLE MOVIE. It was like renting a movie theater out for $18!

So that's October, and November thus far. Stay tuned for some awesome Ultrasound pics. Our appointment is on the 19th! Yay.

Baby Hammond #2

2008-11-13T11:30:00.001-08:00

PEST-ICIDE

If you have a mouse trying to get into your house, just leave your dogs water out over night, and the mouse will take care of itself.

Our Baby the ILLUSIONIST!

2008-10-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

A week ago we had our 16 week appointment. My favorite part of the whole appointment is obviously the ultrasounds. All last month I'd been compiling questions to ask the Dr. to try and stall alittle to make the ultrasound a little longer ( they were real questions, i just had a lot of them) I also had Jon all practiced and well rehearsed to ask the Dr. to see all sorts of body parts while we were checking out the baby so we could get some really good shots!
The first shot was my favorite..all curled up in a very uncomfortable little ball wiggling its toes! I loved that! Well i proceed to ask tell the Dr. "I'd love to see some Fingers! and Toes! Oh, and we also need to make sure we're still having a Boy!"
So we see the toesies wiggling, and the little fist up by the head! So cute! Everything is looking GREAT, healthy, right on track with size and dates!Then the Dr. goes to answer my last question.. "Uh... There is just one little problem," "WHAT!I said!"

Remember that 12 week, 90% BOY shot?

WELL, It became our 16 week, 100% GIRL SHOT! Ha ha ha!

Here's our little Skeletor

Jon loved this one of her ribs and back. :) "coool"

So this March we will officially be welcoming a baby GIRL! The Dr. said he's sure it won't change again!

Boy did she have us fooled! :) I was completely stoked!I called my little sister Katie first to let her know her little Shelby wont be a loner anymore. :) She was thrilled too.
Don't get me wrong~I was really excited to have a boy, I am head over heals for my little nephews, but I'm super thrilled to be having a little girl! I'm so incredibly excited to see Jonny with her. He is probably the sweetest guy I know, but I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing a whole new side of sweet when he's holding his little baby girl. He's going to be the BEST daddy in the world. I cant wait!

Cravings

2008-09-11T10:18:00.000-07:00

Have any of you seen the first Harry Potter Movie?

You know the part where you see Voldemort sucking the Unicorns blood, and its dripping down his face??. Today I was reading about a condition called Pica. Its were your pregnant body is lacking things like iron, so you crave (and some women EAT) things like Coal, dirt, soaps, etc.? Well this was the movie image that popped in my head when i read about eating dirt~ Except instead of Vodemort it was some pregnant woman squating over a pile of dirt~eating it with dirt all over her face! That'd probably scare me more than Vodemort in real life! Ha ha ha!
Actually~ Its pretty ironic that Vodemort comes to my mind, because there are times with these psycho hormones that i've felt more like Voldemort than Me. Ha ha ha.

So i got to thinking~ Have i really CRAVED anything during My Pregnancy?!

YES! I thought.

There is ONE THING these last 3 1/2 Months that i would say i craved.
Only ONE thing that hasnt ONCE made me go into a dry-heaving fit just thinking about it..
ONE thing that unfortunately wasnt in season.. That is until just recently~

But now, thank you to my WONDERFUL MOTHER for bringing me a smorgasborg of these...

and THIS monster

I've been in PEACH HEAVEN all week! YUM!
Here's to cravings!!!
Thanks Mom! :)

The Country Barn Boutique

2008-09-03T09:32:00.000-07:00

You know those fun little boutiques that go on every season? Those ones where you walk in and are completely overwhelmed by the shear amount of painted wood? Soaps? and knitted things? You all know you like to go peak inside those boutiques..
I must admit, i don't consider myself crafty at all~in fact at first in order to even operate the sewing machine, i needed my sister Alesas' constant supervision! But I've decided to test the waters of the boutique world. No I'm not Tying a bunch of sticks together and selling them.. or painting wood blocks..(that would've been easier though..) I decided to see how these Minky Burp Rags I've made for a couple of my friends' babies sold. They are extremely soft and i used some Darling fabric!
So i made a few dozen, rented a booth, and got all set up. Its been ALOT of work, and I'm glad I've done it..All i have to do now is see how they sell, and see if it was worth it. I'm kind of nervous about it.. maybe alittle self conscious too.. i don't know why. Maybe its because its something handmade, I'm SO new to the whole sewing thing, and the public will be looking at and buying them... ahhh.. But I'm glad i put myself out there and did it cause I've always just wanted to try. I seriously don't now how some of those ladies make so much stuff and do it every time! :)
The Country Barn Boutique (on Mutton Hollow in Kaysville/Layton) opens for a preview tonight. 4-8, and then 10-8 Thurs & Fri., and 10-5 on Sat. Wish me luck. :)
(And thank you to my Wonderful Mom and Sister Alesa for all your help!)

This is me setting up and laughing cause i made a funny face last minute in the last picture Alesa was trying to take. ha ha. I look like I'm lovingly admiring my burp rags. ha ha. gag.

This is my finished little wicker shelf. I was originally told I'd be getting a wicker basket, so I wasn't planning on having so much space, so I had to use most of the Rags I'd made to fill the shelves. So much for restocking. :)
You can click on this picture if you want to see the burp rags up close.

SPEAKING OF MOMS.....

B. We'll get to meet the little one in March (12?) 2009!, and
C. We should probably start trying to come up with some good BOY names~just incase!

Happy Birthday Mother Theresa!

2008-08-28T12:12:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to write a quick post to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my WONDERFUL mom! If you are one of the lucky to know my mom, or have ever come in contact with her, you too know that there are only a few people as wonderful, selfless, caring.. (the list goes on) as her! She is the most wonderful Mother, Wife, Grandma, Sister, Friend! My mom has always been there for me (and anyone else) at the drop of a hat. I really think i am the LUCKIEST girl on earth to be blessed with such an amazing Mom! Happy Birthday Mom! I LOVE YOU!

So this post is almost a month late, but it is the second time i've attempted to post it. Dont you just love it when you're almost done with a big long post.. with pictures and everything and your computer freezes? Well i finally got around to trying to post this again.. so lets hope it works.

When i was little we used to go up to Gmpa & Gma Lunds cabin all the time, and one of our favorite activities to do up there was to paint rocks! So for my birthday on the 19th, my wonderful family packed up lunch and ALL their kids and we had lunch and painted rocks! It was BEAUTIFUL up there, and lucky for us it was the FIRST day that they opened the road to where we were going! It was such a nice birthday! Thanks for coming with me guys!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

2008-06-17T14:15:00.000-07:00

I think i have the best Husband in the WHOLE WORLD! This last Sunday the 15th was our 4th year anniversary and my sweet husband planned an awesome trip to Cali to hit some of the same spots we visited on our Honeymoon! (And for those of you who know the story-NO we did not go back to the Dolphins Cove Hotel where the maid incident happend. )Wanna hear about it? read on. :)
Jonny had this planned a few weeks before we went and decided he better tell me about it before we left.. after all who would pack for me.. or better yet HIM (just kidding babe...sort of.;)
On Friday morning we woke up bright and early and headed out to the Airport! We flew the only way to go-JET BLUE, to Long Beach Cali. and met our Uncle Rich who we saw on the airport shuttle in SL for Lunch..(thanks for everything Rich!)we then checked into our hotel in Dana Point and fell right asleep. :) really we did. That night jon and i went and got a pizza and had dinner on the beach.

i think california pizza is better than any pizza we have here. Can anyone prove me wrong? The beach was so fun, but for anyone looking for a warm Cali trip.. wait until July. The "June Gloom" is cold!
Saturday morning we woke up early and headed down to SanDiego to the US Open. (sorry no photos. they wouldnt let us have our cameras or even our phones.:(..sad)Well Jon was STOKED. He kept on giggling wheever he'd see a player. Seeing him that happy was the best part for me. We walked around and watched a few holes, and then sat up in one of the bleachers (hole #7 for all you usopen fans) and watched from there for a few hours. The only thing not pleasant that day was that if felt like it was 30 degrees. It was FREEEEZING. Jon bought me a sweet USOpen blanket though, and that helped. It was awesome to see Tiger come through. After he came through where we were sitting we went and found more seats at hole 15 to wait and watch the players again. After tiger and Rocco went through we decided to go because the crowd was getting HUGE and it'd be a nightmare to leave with everyone. Too bad Tiger chipped in a Birdie, and got an Eagle after we left. We heard the ROARS from the parking lot. Dang it. We should have stayed. I felt bad, but jon said he didnt care. :)whatever. :)
Sunday-Our Anniversary we woke up and went on an AWESOME dolphin/whale watching adventure.
We didnt end up seeing the Blue Whales, but we went through 2 Pods of Dolphins both with over 1,000 to a pod. it was AWESOME. There were TONS of tiny tiny baby dolphins and they were right next to the boat. They were EVERYWHERE! I loved it.

Jon gets motion sickness so i think i enjoyed it more than him! Thanks for taking me anyways Jonny!

Later that day Jon suprised me with our last night say in the SWEETEST hotel we stayed at on our honeymoon too. The BALBOA BAY CLUB!

I could seriously stay there forever. I went right down to the pool while Jon-well you guessed it... watched the open. Thats ok though. He warned me in advance that that'd happen. I read half a book by the pool. It was awesome. Later we went to an amazing restaurant at a Resort Called Sand and Surf. It was AWESOME. The food was YUMMMY and the View was INCREDIBLE! The waves came right next to the building!

To finish off a great Anniversary We... (hold the maid service) Endulged. ...In... THIS>>>>

and this

and this!

Thank you room service! :)
Here we are leaving the Balboa Bay Club. So SAd.

On our last day in California we went over to Disneyland and i was reminded exactly WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER GO TO DISNEYLAND AFTER MAY! We rode a couple of the best rides in California Adventure, one of which was a roller coaster-again with the motion sickness.. jon did not do well with this ride. Sorry jonny :) Thanks for riding it anyways.

We then went into Disneyland, but were so claustrophobic we left before any rides. I still love just being in Disneyland. My favorite part is when jon and i went to a Drawing class and learned how to draw Minnie. Jon did the best drawing i've ever seen him do. Good Job:)

Oh.. and one more great thing about Disneyland... The Incredible...CHURRO!! YUMMY!

We did alittle more shopping and then headed back home. Since we hadnt been around a TV all day jon didnt know anything about what went on durning the UsOpen Playoff that day, so he spent before the flight, during and after with his head down to avoid tv's and his Ipod up loud to avoid hearing anyone talk about it... Cause we all know EVERYONE will be talking about it. haha. love you jon.

I had such a great time, and Im so thankful i married such an awesome guy. We have so much fun together. We're always laughing or goofing off with eachother, and im just so happy to be married to my very best friend! The last 4 years have been some of the best in my life, and i cant wait for all the years to come!LOve you Babe! Thanks for the Awesome Trip!!!

These guys are why i LOVE being an Aunt

2008-06-17T09:20:00.000-07:00

Disneyland Trip 2008!!

2008-06-09T12:06:00.003-07:00

Im a month behind in blogging, but better late than never right?

So last month was soooo Super Fun.. My mom, all my sisters and ALL the Babies went on our Second Annual Disneyland trip! Its become a tradition i guess you could call it for me to win Disneyland tickets on the radio, and then mom pays for the hotel and we split the extra tickets that we have to get. It is one of the Best trips of the year!
Last year we didnt have grey, luke, shelby, or Kt(bedrest sucked) So it was so fun to have those 4 come this year. We did alot of sitting and feeding and SLOW walking, but the best part was just being there and laughing with all my sisters, mom, nephews and niece. Life is FUN!
Here are a TON of pictures from our trip! Enjoy!

WELCOME BACK

2008-04-22T16:13:00.000-07:00

Welcome back my watery friends. You weren't missed as badly as Alesa wanted you to be.

If you are saying to yourself "What the.."
Please... READ ON!

EVILESA

2008-04-22T15:30:00.000-07:00

Do you know my sister ALESA? If you do-Raise your hand. Do you know EVILesa? You might think im talking about a different person. But I'm warning you all. She is one in the SAME.

Most of you might think you know ALESA as the sweet-singing-dancing-happy-huggy-squeely sweet girl she's fooled you to think she is. But listen closely everyone-There is another side of her. and evil side. When this side comes out we meet EVILESA. dun dun dun.

Dont believe me?

STORY #1.
It was a beautiful sunny day in 1987. We were all at a fun happy birthday party at McDonalds. I was 3 so naturally when i see my sweet? sister Alesa huddle everyone in a circle i go to check out whats so interesting. Well as i approach ALESA yells 1-2-3 and BOOM a napkin full of PEPPER goes flying at my face and in my eyes. WHY oh WHY you ask would ALESA ever do such a thing. Its almost unbelieveable.. almost.. I believe this might be one of the first EVILESA sightings.

STORY #2
I left my waterbottle on Alesas desk. . . Enter EVILESA. She thinks it'd be funny for everyone to keep telling me "i know where your water bottle is..." funny? no. obnoxious. im getting texts.. instant messages etc with the same message. So- i get a clear cup. A sufficiant replacement. Im happy with my clear cup. Well naturally after 4 cups of water nature will call-and what do i find upon returning to my desk. NO CLEAR CUP. I believe i have been robbed twice by EVILESA.

So EVERYONE. THIS IS YOUR WARNING...
We're not safe until she's dead
she'll come stalking us at night
Set to sacrifice our children to her monstrous appetite
she'll wreak havoc on our village if we let her wander free
So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me!!!
Oh wait... wrong beast.. haha.

BEWARE!!!!

OK ok- We all know im kidding-She really is one of the sweetest sisters in the whole world. even if she has these fiesty moments. haha. Maybe this post will teach her to mess with someone elses' waterbottle. LOVE YOU ALESA!

PS. My Question for all of YOU. Do YOU have a fiesty "evilesa" story? There arent many, so if you do- PLEASE SHARE!!! (of course followed by something nice. we're not here to offend. just laugh. still love u alesa he he.)

Luke is so wonderful! He has the cutest little face and i LOVE his dark (Curly we think) hair. Ashlee looked wonderful, and she's doin pretty good!

The Doodie Daddy

2008-02-05T11:00:00.001-08:00

As most of you probably know yesterday, February 4th was 12 years ago that our dad passed away. It seems like time has gone by so fast, but there have been countless blessings that have happend to our family these last 12 years.(Especially the wonderful additions we recieved to our family) Yesterday for some reason was one of those harder Feb. 4th's. For me and some of my sisters too. Maybe it was the sweet mushy letter mom wrote in the early morning, or the tender weekend attending our prophets funeral. Its such a blessings to know I have a wonderful family to count on, to share and get through those "harder" days with, and to know i can be with all of them forever someday! I love you all. Here are some Doodie Daddy pictures I had and love. Don't you think they really capture the "Doodie" Part of him that we all love to remember?

This Quiz was on cousin Tawni's site, so i took it and WOW, i think that it describes me pretty well...GO BLUE! (whoa cheerleading flashback! haha)

2008-02-05T09:05:00.000-08:00

You Are A Blue Girl

Relationships and feelings are the most important things to you.
You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict.
If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well.
You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart.

What Color Girl Are You?

My Chiefy Boy

2008-01-29T13:14:00.000-08:00

So we just got Chief this Dogloo. He was pretty hesitant to go in it at first.. but after much doglog (his favorite treat) i think he's beginning to think its ok. Isnt he cute? He's getting so big! Here are a few more pics of Chief from this last summer. He is such a fun dog with more energy than a St.Bernard should have.. what am i saying.. He has more energy than ANY dog should have. (those who know him are all nodding their heads) But he really is a big sweetheart and we love him!

HAPPY BABY SHELBY ANN!!! (this is a cell phone quality video.sorry)

Not So Fun Drive Home

2008-01-23T11:03:00.000-08:00

If there was ever a time to count our blessings it was this weekend. We left St. George on Monday evening around 6. We would have left earlier but the reports advised to wait until the storm clears. What we needed was a report to tell us when the retards on the roads cleared. Well, we were driving just past Beaver, around this slick bend in the summit and Jon started to pull over. I looked to see what he was doing and noticed a car that had slid off into the ditch. He went to see if they were ok, and then came running back to move me and the car off the side of the road next to the speeding semi's. I got out and Jon made me and the two girls driving the wrecked car stand on the side of the hill away from the car. Well another big truck stopped by the side of the road, about parallel to the car in the ditch, and Jon was up talking to him, letting him know the highway patrol was coming and the girls needed to be towed so there was nothin they could do.. Well while he was talkin to the guy i saw two cars come around the bend. ... one slams on their brake and the other is forced to as well.. Well the first car passes us but the second one starts fish tailing-and BAD. They were coming right for Jon and the truck. I screamed Jon's name, and to RUN, and took off up the hill. It was the scariest thing that's ever happend to me. The truck heard me scream and floored it. He made it out of the way just in time. I dont know how jon made it out. He said as he was running he saw the car only feet away from him as it came sliding into the ditch. It also luckily and barely missed the already stuck car. Im so amazed, greatful, shocked, etc. that nobody got hurt. Everyone got up on the hill to wait for the Highway Patrol man incase anyone else neglected to follow the REDUCE SPEED AHEAD Sign! The officer got there and we left, only to see about 25 more slide-off's in the 15 min. it took us to get to Fillmore. We probably could have made it home in jons safe 4-wheel drive car, but we didnt want to risk it with the busy holiday traffic, and Jon was too shooken up to finish driving. We stayed at this kind of crappy best western called the Paradise Resort?!?! Neither of us could sleep, but that didnt matter. We were together, and SAFE.

More St. George Fun

2008-01-23T10:33:00.001-08:00

Here are some pictures of the rest of the Weekend fun! We had so much fun at Steve's Outback Birthday dinner, AND at everyone else's birthday dinner on Monday at Iggy's.
One of the Highlights of the weekend was going to go see Cousin Tawni's baby Stella.She was born at 30 weeks and she is such an Angel. She was sooooo tiny. There are pictures on Tawni's blog of Stella next to a coke bottle.. we're talkin a little coke bottle and she is the same size..But until you see her in real life, you cant really understand how small she is. She was so perfect. I learned while we were there that there was a difference in Premature babies and Preterm babies. Premature babies can be a normal weight, but something isnt developed, or they're sick..(for exaple our Katie was born early-She was normal size but those lungs needed more time to develop) Baby Stella is PreTERM-which means she's fully developed, she just needs more time to GROW!! She is perfectly healthy, just TINY. You can just feel the strength and love that Tawni and Jason have for that little angel. What a wonderful little family!

The Painters Half Marathon!!!

2008-01-23T09:33:00.001-08:00

I've been training, as most of you know for my first Half Marathon. Jonny was going to do it with me but got sick Half way through training so he didnt do this one. On Thursday night Jonny, My Cousin Heather and her cute little baby Emma and I drove down to St. George. On Friday night we went to Outback with Gma Helen, jon, heather, emma, and Uncle Steve for His Birthday. It was so yummy.(Thanks Gma!)
Saturday Jan.19 was my Dad's Birthday, and the Morning of the race. My mom sent me a mushy text about how he'd be proud of me and maybe he'd be there cheering us on. MOOOOOM!! :) well i hope we was anyway...So we woke on that Freeeeezing morning and Heather and I ran the 26th annual Painters Half Marathon. It was such a beautiful run. I've had to train inside, so running outside on the dirt, asphalt, trails, bridges, and hills was quite the change, but it was still really neat. It was hard, and my feet STILL hurt, but really rewarding and I'm happy to say I DID IT. I had SO MUCH fun training and running with Heather. Its so awesome to have cousins that you grow up with and feel more like sisters than cousins. We plan on running the HobbleCreek Half in Aug... and hopefully some between then too! OH--and since we're feelin really nuts, we're talkin about doin the St. George Marathon too.. ask me more about that when my feet stop hurting :)
After the race Jonny bought Me and Heather a day at the SPA! We both had Facials and an hour Massage. (I know, my Husband is AWESOME!!!) It was so nice to have our screaming limbs massaged and realaxed. Thanks jon
It was such an awesome trip. Jon enjoyed the GOLF everday, and i just enjoyed being down there in the Warm(er) weather, and hanging with my awesome Family! love you guys!!!

Run!!!!

2007-12-13T11:43:00.000-08:00

Jon had this brilliant idea a few months ago that we should train for and run a half marathon in Jan. I've been running(not as faithfully as i probably should) But im a little more than half way in the half marathon milage. Its tough. Sometimes getting on that treadmill is the last thing i want to do. But the feeling you get when you've just finished running 5..6.. 7..8 miles.. its like nothing else. Exhausting. Yes. But as John Cougar would say -it "hurts so good".
Ive been putting off registering for this race. I dont know why. Procrastination has always been one of my greatest talents, so maybe its the realization that i will HAVE to run 13.1 miles and soon, has caught up to me... There is no stayin up the night before to finish preparing. Ive got to get going! But today i did it.!... I signed my life (ok, just $35 dollars)away and I'm going to run that race. ahh.:) I hope i'll be able to do it without dying. It'll be hard but something i've always wanted to do, so worth it im sure And who knows maybe i'll keep training for a whole marathon... some day... we'll see. but for the time being-does anyone have a spare knife?:)

Billy Reuben Baldwin

2007-12-07T07:51:00.000-08:00

Poor Baby, and poor Mommy. Well Grey is trying to be like his big brother Jett already. Same Billy Count... Same Billy Bed. Hopefully he wont have to be in there too long. I think it's harder on mom than it is on baby :) You have to admit its cute though.

Baby Grey is Here!!

2007-12-03T08:50:00.001-08:00

After many long awaited "last" weeks Dana finally had baby Grey. He was born on November 30, at 12:32pm. He was 8lbs 6oz and 21" long (Uncle Dr. Todd says he was over 41 weeks-Go Dana!) He is such a wonderful little baby. He already has rolly arms and thighs-ideal for squeezing. We love him so much and are sooo happy he's FINALLY here!!

Alesa's Birthday Suprise

2007-11-21T10:48:00.001-08:00

So here's the story: Alesa's awesome roomate Amy decorated her office last night and gave me this confetti thing to blow up in her office. Well as you can see I obviously didnt get the concept of the whole thing. (Watch me struggle to twist it in the background.) Well i finally get it to turn, but i was expecting more like one of those pillsbury dough explosions from the middle, so the result was just scaring the crap out of alesa, and shooting confetti all over a coworkers child who happend to be standing right in the line of confetti fire. He of course went screaming to mom, while i swept the confetti into alesa's office. Not really the effect we were going for, but her office looks trashed none-the-less. And for those who know me I got what i wanted... a loud boom and a startled Birthday Girl!! Oh how i love to scare. Bwwwaaahahaha (insert evil laugh).
