Conference Weekend!

Meg, Bruce and Parents came for conference weekend and it was so fun to have them here! Of course we took a walk on the parkway between sessions on Sunday and it was pretty nice

Bruce levatating. I know you all knew he was cool but now you know HOW cool he really is :) Amazing....

Thanks for the fun weekend guys! Sorry we didn't take more pictures but we had a great weekend with great talks, great company, fun puzzles and good laughs. Thanks guys!

Sister's FuN!

Emily came into town today for a transfer day tour since she'll be joining us in the fall. Nat and I went to Transfer day free lunch at the Marketplace and it was awesome! After everything we came back to my house for a little girly time, we did Mary Kay facials and below is the final product, what do you think?

I sure hope Debbie didn't feel left out! We would have loved to have her!

Oh, and this other picture, Emily was supposed to be taking a picture of all of me but all she got was the belly, its kind of funny because i keep trying to look pregnant so in this pic i'm arching my back as much as possible to make my belly stick out, this picture captured it perfectly because you can't really see my stance, i look like i'm eight months! Thanks Em and Nat for the fun! Love you guys!

Bowling with Brannon

We went bowling again with Brannon from Macey's, it was a good time. John and i hadn't been since last time we went with him a while ago. This time John's friend Austin from work came with too, he was so nice and ended up paying for all of us, what a sweetheart. He's leaving on his mission here in a couple more weeks....who could we set him up with....

John and Brannon

Me and John
This picture is John, Brannon and Austin. It was so funny because Brannon just wanted all of these pictures taken but he didn't want me to be in ANY of them, only the boys... oh well, i guess finally i'm not the only one that thinks i'm not too photogenic... Thanks :)

Isaac's Baptism!

It was a fun weekend with Isaac's baptism! It was so special, being able to see Isaac be baptized and also seeing Peter baptism him, it was very sweet. Here's a picture of Isaac with the girls :)

Isaac and the boys

Emily was determined to fly this kite, we failed, and we failed, and we failed again but Emily just kept trying, she even continued after we'd all given up, i'm sad to say though that she never did get it to fly, oh well i guess we need windier weather (windeir, is that a word?)



Not the best picture of me or Nat but Debbie's adorable, you just gotta love her!

Me with Amber's three kids, she was giving me a hard time and saying that that is what i will be like in four years, Three kids 3 and under with one on the way....ya right :)

John was hilarious with the dog. He just kept egging Chloe on and wrestling with her and she's such a good dog, she just takes it. Later that night, John was just sitting there in the rocking chair and Chloe comes over and puts her paw on his knee and her head resting on his other knee, it was very cute and i can't figure out why she likes him so much! I guess its the same reason the rest of us like him....he's just so annoying that you just can't help it!

It was a very fun weekend with the family, thanks Isaac for bringing us all together!

HELP!!!!

Hey Everyone, so i'm graduating in 5 weeks! On May 2 (John's Birthday), i'm wondering if there are any of you USU College graduates that would allow me to borrow your cap and gown.... I've got a tassel and i just need a black cap and gown, so if anybody wouldn't mind, let me know! Thanks a ton!

Spring Break!

So i know i'm a little late, just wanted to let everyone know whats going on in our lives. Last week was spring break, John went to Vegas to sell for the week and i stayed here in Logan while my family came for a visit. It was awesome, great to see them and hang out. We did all sorts of fun things that you can check out at Natalie's or my Mom's blog, i won't worry about posting any pic's. John took our camera with him to Vegas and didn't take a single picture so i guess its like they say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!" School's started up again and oh man its been tough getting back into the swing of things, John and I both have Spring Fever bad and all we want to do is enjoy the nice weather we've FINALLY been getting! Yesterday i pulled out a camp chair and read my book in the sun while John worked on his truck. He's hoping to get the motor all put back together in the next couple of weeks. It's so fun to be able to enjoy the sunshine and people in general are so much happier these days! It's crazy what a little warm weather can do.
Today was my 16 week appointment, it was sure fun to hear the Heartbeat again, to be reassured that its still there and everything is fine. We also made our ultrasound appointment! So here in a few weeks we'll know what we're having! So fun. Anyway, life is great, i feel great. I don't feel sick or tired anymore, John's got a cold of somekind pretty bad, he's miserable but thankfully he's just quit his Macey's job so that he can start his own business aerating lawns, (if anyone around needs their lawn aerated for a great deal let us know!) Anyway, i'm glad his last day at Macey's is next tuesday because then John can finally start getting some good sleep! Waking up at 3:30 am has been kind of rough so we're glad for that to be over. Well, there's a little update.

Picture Tag!

I have been tagged from Kacey--Go to your pictures, get into your 6th folder, and post your 6th picture in that folder. Then tag 6 more people.

I'm pretty sure this was from John's trip down to the Henry's with Tom Neilson, we've got tons of pictures of skulls and stuff. Sorry it's not too exciting!

I tag Mom, Emily, Natalie, Kirsten P, Anna C and McKall

Happy Spring Break!

Yay! It's Spring Break! I just got inside after shoveling 8 INCHES of NEW SNOW off of the drive way.... Crazy, oh and we got a text from our neighbor last night at 1:40 in the morning letting us know our neighbors house was on fire....great, we weren't sure if he was just playing a really mean joke or if it was true, but sure enough as i was shoveling this morning, i looked across the street and our neighbor's house was on fire, it was all black this morning. I don't know what the story is, i guess the whole neighborhood heard all the fire engines and police cars and half of the neighborhood was evacuated but John and i just slept right through it all.... I guess we were blessed with deep sleep ;)

P.S. I think everyone's okay

Yay!

So i know i just posted but i'm doin it again because i've got something EXCITING to post about! At least it's exciting to me... here's the story: For a while now (at least a couple years) i've been so sick of my purses because i hate those hand bags that you have to hang on to, or the kind that fall off of your shoulder because the handle is just SO small. I've been wanting one that just sits on ya, you know, one you can't loose as easily, anyway when one of the Young Women leaders i ork with gave me a purse pattern i was so so SO excited! Finally i finished it and dun-da da! Here's the final product!(As well as a preview to my belly, it gets bigger at the end of the day :)

Here's some closer up, i love it! And if you can't tell, i'm definitly on a red kick....

Yum yum

First off thanks everyone for all of your comments and input, i really appreciate it!

So, when i was first pregnant i was on this HUGE health kick, we were eating salads regularly, brown rice, wheat noodles, you know, healthy stuff it was great but the problem was that i was eating these things when i started feeling nauseous and so these types of food became the things that I LOATHED to eat or even think about eating and i'm embarrassed to admit i haven't been eating well since. Well, i'm trying to get back on track, i'm starting to feel quite a bit better and food is starting to taste good again although most healthy foods still don't sound too appetizing. Because of this i am working it back into my diet slowly, today i made this:This is a mixture of brown rice and white rice, and it tasted pretty good....slowly but surely i will start eating well again....

Quick Question

So, John and i like always, are looking for more ways to make money, our close to minimum jobs just aren't cutting it anymore so we're looking at our options. Since i'm having a baby and all :) i'm most likely not going to be hired by anyone temporarily so i've been tossing around the idea of selling something, you know, like those annoying parties you go to and just feel so obligated to get something.... not so intriguing but i figure, if i could sell something that people want and are in need of then it wouldn't be so annoying. Here's a list of the parties i've been to lately:
Lia Sophia (jewelery)
Sentsy (you know, the smell good cool stuff)
Pampered Chef
Mary Kay
I think thats it but then there's:
Tupperware
shoot, i really can't think of any others but anyway, i'm throwing out the Lia Sophia (i'm not really a jewelry person and i don't think most people would consider that expensive stuff a priority) Other than that, i'm taking a little survey, what would you readers out there most likely buy from anyone that was selling any of these items (or any others you can think of)? I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd leave a comment and let me know! If any of you have strong opinions about this idea, give me a call, i'd love to talk. Thanks everyone!

If the Savior stood beside me...

Standards night for our youth was tonight and it was awesome. A member of our stake presidency asked us to imagine to ourselves the words of the song if the Savior stood beside me, would i do the things i do, etc... But he said when dealing with your ipod, "if the Savior stood beside me, would i have the songs i have" or the cell phone "if the Savior stood beside me, would i text the things i text" he just went on and on and then he chalenged all of us by saying that the Savior already knows the things that we do, listen to and talk about. He knows and he challenged us to go home and get our electronics to a place where if the Savior stood beside us, he would be happy with those things that we are watching, listening to, and speaking about. I know this talk was for the youth, but it was also for all of us because we can all become a little better, and honestly when we do these things, we just make life a bit easier for ourselves by not allowing the bad into our lives. I remember in institute a few years ago i had a lesson about how we make our own lives hard by the options that we allow for ourselves. The prophet has said, don't watch R-rated movies, so if we as follower's of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ don't even allow ourselves the option of watching an R-rated movie than it ceases to be a temptation and we can be perfect in that one thing. We are in control of our own lives, we choose the temptations that we allow ourselves to have. I truly believe that and i hope i can take the advice of a wise man to help get my life into order, to change for the better. I'm so blessed. Thanks for reading
