Every girl deserves a Valentine!

2012-02-14T17:44:00.000-08:00

Okay I just have to brag about my amazing husband!
The last three mornings I've woken up to find beautiful flowers in my kitchen! My table is full with lilies, tulips and roses! This morning I found a dozen roses in a beautiful vase with one artificial rose and a note that saids..."I'll love you til the last one dies" Jeremy saids one dozen flowers for every year that we've been married.

And he even left some fake roses just for Layna....When I said something about this you know what Jeremy said "Every girl deserves a Valentine" Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? I love my husband!

February Bring it on!

Howdy Hey! Well things have been going good lately for my little family. We moved again two days ago from the worlds smallest apartment to house. We feel so relived to be out of there! The kids each have they're own room again and the kitchen is definitely more functional here. We have a huge back yard too. Our new landlord is super sweet and friendly, he didn't even make us sign a lease. Now that were more comfortable we can relax and take our sweet time while we look for a house to buy or even build.

Masen and Layna are getting bigger and bigger everyday. They surprise me by how much they know and pick up so easily. Masen has taken apart and put back together his skateboard several times. He has the tool box he got from Christmas and he sets up shop. I took him to the park where they have like a skate park area set up and he sat on the board rode down the ramps. I was surprised that his skate board stayed together the whole time. My son is such a bad ass!!
Masen had a eye appointment and the doctor saids that he needs to wear an eyepatch on his good eye to make him use his bad eye more. She said he sould wear it for a few hours a day for the next few months. We tryed it and that lasted like two minutes. He hates it. He get frustrated and feels like he can't see. We havnt been forcing him to wear it because its just impossiable. But he does look like the cutest pirate in the world!

Layna is now mostly potty trained! We started working with her a few months ago and gave up because she just didn't understand. About a week ago I just stuck a pantie on her and its like a light bulb went off in her head because she has hardly had any accidents!

Jeremy's work is starting turn-a-round this month. Its like an over haul where they shut things down so they can replace and fix things at the plant. So since they're working on a lot of things on the south side where Jeremy works, he'll be working every day this month. Well he'll actually be working nights. I'll only see him a few hours a day :(

Jeremy won't have any days off until March so were planning a Joe City trip that month yay!! I'm so excited to see my family! I'm still getting use to being so far away from my family. I miss my mommy! Yeah I'll say it!! I don't think I've ever gone more than maybe two weeks with out seeing her.

I think that's about all thats going on with us. I just feel so thankful lately! Things have been so awesome I feel spoiled. Like really?! This is my life I love it! I am so blessed! I'm so lucky to have such wonderful kids and an amazing husband! You guys make my world go round!

We had tons of fun and a busy weekend! I was in the kitchen cooking like a mad man, (I can't believe I ate so much cookie dough yowzers!) the kids helped decorate cookies for Santa. Our tree had exactly two Christmas ornaments on it. We started to decorated it last week when i realized all my ornaments were glass so we only put up six of them and only two survived our tiled floors.

My Mom and Dad came down for a few days and it was so great to see them. We went over to Aaron and Staci's new house and ate dinner. We played cards and the kids had a snow ball fight with Papa. Heres some pictures, I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas!

Playing in the snow

Alayna had so much fun!

We've been here for about a week and a half and today we finally got Internet so I'll update you guys on our new life! Jeremy started his new job on Halloween and he saids its been boring so far. They have to train him on safety and explain how everything works. It sounds scary to me! He said theres some kind of gas they use for something but if you breath it, it'll knock you right out. So he has to wear some kind of monitor thing that lets him know if any is in the air. They have told him all these horror stories about accidents that had happened and I think it scares me more than him! I think that's just how it goes the first few weeks they have to make sure everyone understands safety procedures before they let him do anything. Mostly all Jeremy has done this week is sit in a classroom and get lectures and watch training videos. Hes looking forward to actually looking around the plant and doing something more physical.

Were the worst parents ever because we kinda skipped Halloween. Opps! My kids didn't have any costumes and we were still getting settled so we just decided they didn't need the candy. I'm pretty sure that there will be another Halloween next year too.

When we first got to our apartment we didn't unpack right away. We were in total shock. Our apartment is SO small. Its way smaller than the one we were in to before and it was filthily. The area its in is kinda ghetto too. Its funny because theres a sign out front that saids "Shady Lane Apartments" and it deffently fits this place. Me and Jeremy just looked at each other and said what did we do! We left our family, our home and Jeremy's job for this?! But after about an hour we recovered and started to unpack. Matt and Erin drove out of they're way to come help us unload. We are so thankful they came and helped us. My brother came over and helped after he got off work too. Having family over totally saved us mentally.

We are pretty settled in now and are more comfortable. Our apartment is small but now it feels like home. Durning the day I've been babysitting my brother's kids Chaz and Kenzi and between them and Masen and Alayna I stay pretty busy. Jeremy comes home at lunch so thats fun. His work is only like 5 minutes away. After a few months he'll be making more money and we can start looking at houses. They re having a company party in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to getting out and meeting more people. We're not sure what Jeremy's schedule is going to be like but we want to try and make it back to Joe City for Thanksgiving.

Everything is going well and we know we made a good choice by moving up here and starting our new life as New Mexicans!

Oh and I've lost six pounds since we left Joe City! Probably from stress but eather way Joseph City you can keep those pounds! :D

Yes I am that awesome!

2011-09-08T22:13:00.000-07:00

I made this shirt yesterday for Layna! I bought a pattern from my favorite second hand store for crazy cheap. Its from 1962 and its actually just for the top piece of the halter top making it a belly shirt. So I added a ruffled panel to the bottom for more coverage. Even though Alayna has the cutest belly ever I decided not to share it with the rest of the world and keep it just for me! I love the little collar on it!! Just thought I share!

Durango!!

2011-09-06T08:30:00.000-07:00

On Saturday my best friend from high school got married in Durango Colorado. We hired a babysitter for the first time ever and drove the four hour trip there. We where only there for the day so that kinda sucked. We left in the morning and didn't get back until midnight. I was worried that the drive would be long and boring but it so much fun! I was excited for the time with Jeremy.

When we got to Durango we walked around downtown a little while and then headed to the wedding. Kirra got married in this cute little park next to an amazing creek. She was such a beautiful bride! It would be great if I could go to a wedding without balling my eyes out and messing up my makeup but there was no way to resist! I've never cared for romance girl movies but weddings totally melt my heart! Its so amazing to be a witness to someone pleading their heart to another person. I'm really happy for her! We went to her reception and then snuck off so that we could get home for the babies. I wish we had more time to expore Durango. Its the cutest town ever! It was a rushed trip but totally worth it!

Congratulations Kirra and Jake!!

Stayin' up all night until the morning light! .....or just ten o'clock

2011-08-28T22:49:00.000-07:00

Jeremy went to the valley over the weekend and me and the kids need some entertainment so we called the cousins!!! I had so much fun with those kids!! We colored puzzles, made a fort, played card games and even made some hair bows- well me and Brooke did while the boys hunted for lizards.

Here's some of my favorite pictures from our sleepover.

I LOVE the one where Waylon is getting attacked by a rubber snake!!It makes me smile so big! Lol I love that boy!!

The Kitchen ate the baby.

2011-07-17T13:47:00.000-07:00

A week or so ago I was watching my niece and nephew and I was in my craft room doing something when I heard Alayna crying. I went into the play room a little bit later because I just figured she was fighting with the kids (I know I'm such a great mother right) and I found her stuck up to her ribs dangling in her play kitchen. I started freaking out and tryed to pull her lose but she was stuck tight. Jeremy was asleep so I told Masen to hurry and go get him. Jeremy didnt come right away so I started screaming for him to come help me. I didn't want to let go of Layna and risk her slipping more and hang herself. Finally Jeremy walks in half asleep and trys to help me. I guess Masen just told Jeremy "Dad its time to get up" Naughty!

So we soap Layna up to try to slip her out but she didn't move an inch. So Jeremy ends up getting a saw of some kind from the shop and he cuts the kitchen in half and frees my poor little girl. They whole time I'm standing there trying to hold her up to take pressure of her ribs and chest. Layna is not a small girl so my arms where so tired by the time she was out. She was really squished in there.

I think the kitchen was on its side and she was climbing up it and the cardboard backing broke of and she went right though. I think I was more upset then she was about the whole thing. Thank goodness Jeremy was there or I don't know what I would have done!

poor baby!

Happy again! The middle shelf is the one she fell through. Just over 3inches wide

three years and forever to go!

2011-07-12T17:03:00.000-07:00

Three years ago today I married my best friend! Happy anniversary Jeremy! Here's some of my favorite pictures from one of the best days of my life....

My daddy whispering "I love you and you look so beautiful"

Our very beautiful venue!

My handsome little guy!

The only girl who I'd let steal the show

Starting our happy ever after!

" Shave and Haircut, two bits! "

2011-05-20T10:34:00.000-07:00

Well he did it. That little turkey gave my sweet little girl a haircut! Its not bad but its real close to the scalp and its right in front!When it grows back its gonna stand straight up :(

I need to try to get a better picture but here's a few.

you can kind see it in this picture its about an inch long

We're gonna call her 'Spike'

Oh Brother!

Late mothers day!

2011-05-19T10:33:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post this picture of the cupcakes I made my mommy and Sharon for mother's day!

I think they came out super cute! I love you mom!

Alayna calls them cookies!

My Cinderella!

2011-05-06T00:19:00.001-07:00

I had Masen pick out Alayna's clothes and he brought me this Cinderella dress...

She loves her stroller! Its always full of random things she finds around the house.

She had a ruff week last week. Some how she got a black eye while fighting with Masen and then she biffed it on the church side walk, and then she feel off the stool the other day. My poor baby!

She's still happy though!

Our Stay-cation!

2011-05-06T00:19:00.000-07:00

So last weekend me and Jeremy went on Vacation! Since Masen has yet to strike any gold in the holes he digs in the back yard, we were broke so we had a staycation! I think I'm in love with saying "staycation". Its kinda fun to say.

We wanted to spend some one on one time together so we sent the kids to grandma's for the night and went home to snuggle up and watch movies until we fell asleep on the couch. That sounds lame but it really was fun. The next day we slept in way too late but after we got up we headed to Clear Creek to go hiking. I was excited because I've never been the back way to Clear Creek and its just right there! Its only a little ways past the bridge at Shevlin- who knew!

When we got to Clear Creek Jeremy wanted to show me a little beach area but the only way down was to hike down a skinny little crack- No way! We just watched 127 hours a week ago and I totally freaked out and couldn't get out of there fast enough. I'm a wuss okay. I know it. But it was fun. It was so quiet and peaceful we just sat there for a while.

After the creek we drove into Winslow and walked around downtown. Everything was closed because it was Sunday but it was still cool to walk around and check out all the ~~bums~~ stores.

I had so much fun with Jeremy I love him so much! He's my best friend and he makes everyday an adventurous vacation!

Easter Pictures

2011-05-06T00:06:00.000-07:00

How the Easter bunny got into our house to deliver the baskets is still under investigation....

I love Layna's crazy bed head!

Alayna's Easter dress from my mom and a quick picture of the kids!

wonder why I don't blog that often???

2011-03-29T21:00:00.000-07:00

This is why!

While I was putting together that last post my sneaky kidos where having a blast!

(Don't worry its just flour, we keep our cocaine in the other cabinet)

See that hand? Layna decided that I needed in on the fun!

My Quiet Book!!

2011-03-29T19:46:00.000-07:00

I made Masen a quiet book! Its definitely not perfect but I love it! I want to make one for Layna too but its so much more work than you would think! I'm gonna wait a while before I try to take that on, I already have tons of ideas I want to do to hers but I need a break! Its not as nice as the ones Myke did, I love how hers was bound together- it looks a lot cleaner, mine is a little messy looking but it gives it character!

This is the outside. I used an old pair of baby overalls to keep it closed.

Make a face page! I still haven't done hair or mouths yet but I'll get there!

Tie the shoe, buckle, zippers and button flowers!!

Dress me!! I had so much fun making the clothes, I like the pirate best!

Match the shapes and a clock!

Tic-Tack toe and change the tires!

Two whole pages for Masen's cars to explore.

Weave and snap on the Apples.

Velcro Letters and Peek-a-boo pictures....

and a page for crayons and paper. I think this is Masen's favorite.

Not too shabby! :)

Masen Jar

2011-03-25T18:34:00.000-07:00

The other day Jeremy was drinking out of a mason jar(even though we had plenty of clean cups, I think he was listening to too much Toby Keith) and I told him I don't like it when he drinks from them.

For one that is not the purpose of a mason jar, its weird.

For two (lol) I keep them separated so I know which ones are mine and which ones need to be returned to my mother in law Sharon.

So I told him that I didn't like it and why and Jeremy is like 'okay fine I won't drink from out of them'

Then Masen who was quietly eating his dinner the whole time says

"That's okay dad I'll let you drink from my jar"

The smell of love and goats is in the air!

2011-03-22T09:12:00.000-07:00

This weekend I got to finally go down to the valley! I've haven't been there since I was pregnant with Layna, isn't that crazy? We went down on Thursday so Jeremy could pick up his tux and then on Friday we went to the Zoo! It was so much fun! We walked around and saw all the animals and brought the kids to the petting zoo. Masen had tons of fun petting the goats and Alayna had to walk around and smack each one. I feel sorry for those goats but they were patient with all those little kids chasing them around!

Then later that night we went to the wedding rehearsal and dinner. The next morning I dropped Jeremy off at Andrews so he could hang out with the boys and get ready for the wedding. The kids and I went shopping at JoAnns (yay) and visited my long lost cousins! Then I left them behind and headed to Dolce Vista! I love saying that! I asked Veronica what it means and she thinks it means Sweet Life. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Kellie and Andrew look so sweet together. And my husband looks super sexy in a tux!(maybe I'll buy him one to wear around for me...sigh) Jeremy gave his perfect best man speech and then we finally had dinner and got to boogie! Oh and I totally rocked the dress I made! It wasn't half as pretty as Kellie's was though!

I'm so happy for Andrew and Kellie! They're are a perfect couple and they're going to have a wonderful life together! Congratulations!!!

quickie update!

2011-02-25T19:18:00.000-08:00

Yes were still here! I've been so horrible about blogging but hopefully I'll start keeping up on it. :) This week Jeremy has been in the valley taking a class for work and doing some welding so its been lonely here. But I've tryed to keep myself busy so I decided to finally paint Alayna's room.

Its hard getting good angles because her room is so small but it looks so cute!! Next project: some wall art!
See anything hiding in that before picture??

I also painted our bedroom a week or two ago and I hate it! I saw this exact color on a Martha Stewart show and thought it was pretty...not on my walls. I'll repaint it as soon as I'm 100% sure on the color. Curse you Martha Stewart!

Our kids are doing great! They're growing up so fast! Masen is doing good in school, he does have some bad days but he loves going. I wish it was longer than two hours though. I feel like by the time I drop him off I have to rush back to pick him up. He's learning numbers and his Abc's and he can almost write his name.

Alayna is such a little doll! I feel so lucky to have her. She loves playing with her dollies and pushing her stroller. Her favorite thing to do is to empty all my kitchen cabinets! I find things like the cheese grater or strainer randomly around the house.

The other day Masen was in the bath when I heard a big splash and cry, I ran to the bathroom and there was Layna in the tub with all her clothes on. I felt bad for her but then she smiled and I had to snap a picture. I love my little naughty babies!

Preschool!

2010-11-14T15:52:00.000-08:00

Masen started preschool last week. He loves it and I love the break! He does pretty good except he covers his ears when everyone sings and tells them "it hurts my ears" and Wednesday he punched the teacher in the nose! Hopefully this week he'll behave a little better.

Heres some pictures of my naughty little school boy!

Cocktail Hat

2010-07-02T10:36:00.000-07:00

So last night I stayed up ridiculously late making Alayna a super cute cocktail hat! I love how it looks so vintage and classic! Now she just needs some gloves and pearls!

Check out those blue eyes!

You are six months going on seven months....

2010-06-14T10:11:00.000-07:00

So I think were over due for an update!

Masen has been taking swimming lessons at the high school. He does okay, I think he has a hard time listening to the teachers sometimes but he seems to enjoy it. Its only for like an hour a day and they show him how to kick his legs and use "ice cream scoops" to paddle the water and to float on his back. If nothing else at least he gets out of the house and play in the pool. We've also have been to the lake a few times but the water is super cold.

Jeremy has just started working nights again which makes the nights scary and the days quiet and lonely while he sleeps. I'm working at the store again so we can bring in some extra money but I hate being away from my babies. But I think we got it worked out pretty good so we've only had to find a babysitter a few times.

AND guess what?? Were in the process of buying our first home! We are just waiting for it to close which should be hopefully sometime next month. If all goes well we will be going from our little two bedroom one bathroom to a four bedroom two bathroom before the end of summer! Yay!

Alayna is almost seven months! She rolls all over the place so no more leaving her on the couch alone. She can sit for like 3-5 minutes on her own until she reaches for something and falls over. Shes not quite crawling, when shes on her belly and sees something she wants she balances on her tummy and kicks her legs and arms and gets so excited! Alayna also has her first tooth pushing through on her bottom gums.

Here is some more pictures of our summer fun........

My baby can move!!

2010-04-30T09:19:00.000-07:00

Yes Alayna has finally learned to roll over! Who would of thought I could get so exsided over something so simple! Next on to crawling...yeah right! Alayna is VERY layed back. Shes not a hyper or bouncy baby, she likes to sit and watch. I think she'll learn to crawl when shes ready. The other day I had her in her jumpy thingy and she actually jumped a little for once! I love her so much shes sooo sweet!

Today I'm taking Masen to get tested for preschool. I hope he gets in but theres a lot of kids testing so we'll see. If he doesnt get in it'll be fine he has his whole life to go school but I would love the three hour break! and I bet Masen would like being with the kids. He already has his backpack packed and is bugging me about when were gonna go!

Family Adventure!

2010-04-16T09:15:00.000-07:00

Last week for one of Jeremy's days off we decided to drive up to Prescott to check out a gun shop. Jeremy wanted to check it out and I just wanted to spend time with him so we loaded up the babies and took off. We drove through Clarkdale and Jerome on the way there and Jerome was crazy! Theres just one small road hugging the edge of a mountain and then theres houses actually built on the hill sides! They had a cute down town area that was cramped, I don't know how they built anything up there it just blows my mind! I wanted to stop and walk around but we got a late start and Jeremy was getting frustrated at my navagation skills. But we think that this summer for our anniverisery we might go back for a night and check it out. I've never been to Prescott and it looked just as fun to explore. We defiently have to go back. We found the gun shop by some miracle because Jeremy decided I lost the map he printed out before we left (when we got home it was on the computer desk, silly Daddy!) So while Jeremy played in the gun shop the kids and me walked to the feedstore next door to check out the baby chickens.

We went through Willams on the way back and I taked Jeremy into stopping at the.... Deer Farm!! Masen got to feed the deer and had a blast! The deer would just surround you and follow you around. The lady that worked there was surprised that Masen wasn't scared. Sometimes he would just get lost in a crowd of deer. It was so much fun!

Masen was even able to feed the camel Gracie some carrots!

Raindeer!

Masen with a Goat!

Easter!

2010-04-13T08:52:00.000-07:00

We had Easter this year with my cousins who live in our apparment complex. Its so nice having them so close, Masen and Toddie play together all day long! So me and Marlana got the boys togther and they decorated eggs. This was our first time EVER making hard boiled eggs so half way through decorating one of the boys dropped one and we discovered it was only half way done! Yucky! So half are eggs were undercooked but we just let the boys dye them anyway and thew them out after the hunt.

On Easter Masen woke up and told me he heard the bunny on the roof while he was sleeping.He found his basket which was full of goodies, including waterballoons and toothbrushes! We sent the boys to find easter eggs in the "driveway" and we had dinner together with our parents and this was also my first time ever cooking a ham but dont worry it came precooked!

Every girl needs a pretty easter dress!

Masen and Toddie playing with waterballons

Alayna's first taste of cereal...

2010-03-29T08:20:00.000-07:00

We've started feeding Alayna baby foods a whille back and I've been meaning to post this pictures because they are soooo cute!Better late than never right.....! She has also tryed green beans, bannanas and peas now too. I've been making it myself even though one of my LAME friends told me that "its too much work and its just as easy to buy the baby food jars" That is not true! The baby food jars are like $.50 each and you can get a whole thingy of carrots for like a dollar and it makes a ton of babyfood and you just cook it and thow it in a blender, it takes like five minutes and no preserivtives and its kinda fun. I hate people like that!!! Grr!!! Okay moving on!

And guess who started riding his bike without training wheels??? Yes, I know, I have the most awesomest three year old ever!! Masen amazes me everyday! I think I was at least five when I learned to ride a bike but I'm not too cordanated....And Masen has only had that bike for a few months! He has only had a few wipe outs. I'll post some pictures soon I promise. The kids were over last night and Waylon kinda broke Masen's seat so Masen needs a new seat. I told Jeremy we should just get him a real bike that doesnt have plastic tires but we'll see.
Well heres Alayna.......
First taste of rice cereal and Milk

Here we go!

What was that!?!!!

She hates it.

Daddy saved me!

I know I've been slackin'.....

2010-03-15T20:55:00.000-07:00

Yes I'm still here! Life can get so busy with two kids and a hubby. Its super easy to get behind on things, I feel like my house is always a mess and theres always something that I need to do but I guess thats just what happens when your a mommy. Anywho heres some of my favorite pictures from the past few months that I've been meaning to post....

Heres the newest babies Alayna, Gauge, and Kenzi

Renon came up with Gauge and my dad gave him his blessing so we since we had all the grandkids together we couldnt pass up on pictures.

Masen taking a bath at my parents house with tons of bubbles....

And my sweet babies

January 18, 2009

2010-01-18T21:14:00.001-08:00

So today was Alayna's two month check-up. She weighed in at 12 pounds even and 23 1/4 inches long and that puts her in the 80th percentile which means she bigger that most of the chicks her age :) But big is beautiful! I love love love her chunky checkers! Masen is getting so big also! I've been working with him a lot more know and hes learning his colors and his ABC's. I can't believe that he's grown up so fast!

"I'm Itchy, I'm Itchy!!!"

2010-01-13T20:38:00.000-08:00

I took Cosmetology in high school, I have my licence but I only use it to buy hair product. I've never felt confident doing men's hair cuts but for some reason I'm the one that cuts all the guy's hair in my family. I always remind them that its at their own risk but they always come back so maybe I don't suck at it as bad as I think I do. OR maybe its just because I'm free. Now just thinking about lady hair cuts scare me because I havent done one in years!

Anywho Brian brought over my nephews for hair cuts and they were so good! BJ sat real still even though he always has to remind me about the time I cut his ear..... and Waylon did very good! Normally half way threw the starts freaking out screaming.... " I'm Itchy I'm Itchy!!!!!" lol they both impressed me so much, I can't believe how big theyre getting!

Masen has never EVER sat through a hair cut. Last time I had to wrestle him on the ground and we rolled around the kitchen floor until we were both covered in hair. But after he saw the boys get their hair cut I told him it was his turn and he took his shirt off and climbed up in the chair all by himself! He was scared at first when I turned the clippers on but I showed him that they don't hurt and he was fine. Masen didnt move or cry the whole time! Afterwards I gave all the boys a fruit snack and told them how proud I was! Its crazy that I find so much happiness in such a simple thing!

Waylon's face is cracking me up in this picture!! Ha!

just a picture...

2009-12-30T22:51:00.000-08:00

The boys left to the sand dunes so for the rest of the week its just me and this beautiful girl.....

Can you belive shes already six weeks old!!

I told her to stop growing but she listens like her daddy :)

look what I did.....

2009-12-29T22:40:00.000-08:00

Okay its a little sloppy but not bad for my first time embroidering ever! I always wanted to learn and thanks to my wonderful mommy in-law I at least know how to do it even though I need tons more practice but I had to show this off even if its on a old dish towel :)

Santa baby!

2009-12-15T16:19:00.000-08:00

We took Masen and Alayna to see Santa the other day at the fire house. Masen was super excited to meet him but when we saw Santa, Masen was scared and just clung to Jeremy's leg! He wouldnt sit on his lap but as soon as we walked out the door he said he wanted to go see him again :) Alayna was a perfect angel and was happy to get her picture done but we'll see what she thinks of him next year.

My Husband has fallen in love with another woman...

2009-11-19T11:16:00.000-08:00

Alayna Tree Petersen

She was born on November 16, 2009 at 7:54 am

She weighed 8pounds and 1 ounce, and was 20 inches long.

We are so happy to have another girl in the house!

We got home on Wednesday afternoon and

my mother brought Masen over to meet her.....

He ran over,

gave her a kiss,

said " Hi baby"

Then took off to his room to play with his cousin Waylon.

What a nice welcome home from her new brother.

Later he desided he wanted to hold his baby sister

39 weeks

Only six days left!!

<------------ 38 weeks 2 days

Well Monday is the big day! I'll be a mommy again! I'm kinda sad that its almost over! I'm trying to "enjoy" being pregnant before its all over. My last ultra sound showed that she was around 8lbs 2oz so she is going to be HUGE! Masen was 8'9 when he was born so were expecting her to be big too, thank goodness I don't have to push her out :)

And no we haven't named her yet. I think its funny how everyone starts telling us names and almost look like they expect us to be like "Wow okay, we'll just name her that!!" Me and Jeremy are both too picky for names- I like cutesy names and he hates them! We both decided that we're going to wait until were in the hospital and actually see her face before we give her a name. Its crazy that Jeremy will shoot down every name that I come up with and he has only told me one or two that he thought of, oh well! I guess that's just how guys are :) I'm bringing my baby name list to the hospital so he better bring his too!

Tomorrow is my last doctor appointment and were going to take Masen to the doctor too. He's getting a cough and his voice is sounding funny- I think its his sexy voice! Anyways hopefully he'll get some drugs and get feeling better for when he meets his new sister. They won't let him come visit in the hospital because of the H1N1 flu but it'll be more fun for everyone to see them meet for the first time. Right now she doesn't really like Masen because he's always jumping on my tummy and bumping her around- she trys to move away from him or just freezes when ever Masen trys to feel her. But I bet after she meets him for the first time she'll fall in love with him just like me and Jeremy did!

We had a busy busy weekend! On Saturday was my baby shower. The best part was seeing all the BABIES!!! My cousins and my sister came up and they bought their little ones it makes me jealous that I won't meet my little girl for a few more weeks! We played games and I opened gifts. I got tons of cute stuff- I never get sick of seeing pink :) Then Sunday was Masen's birthday. My baby boy is three years old! We got him a real bike with training wheels. Later we went and ate cake and ice cream over at grandma's and papa's house. I feel like I have almost everything done and now I'm just waiting for my little girl!! :)

2009-10-02T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well heres my BIG belly with Masen's sister inside! Shes so strong! I don't remember Masen moving and kicking as much as she does! We still don't have a name picked out, everytime we talk about it we never agree on anything so I've kinda given up! We'll just call her number two :)

Im 32 weeks now and at my next doctor appointment we get to schedulle my c-section hopefully!! I cant belive its getting so close I feel like were running out of time. I can't belive that our family is about to get bigger!!

Its a girl!!!

2009-08-09T11:32:00.000-07:00

Well its been forever since I blogged and if you havent heard yet were having a girl!!! Me and Jeremy are super happy!! I feel like our little family is all here now! Im 25 weeks today so I still have a long was to go! Ive been busy doing crafts and sewwing like crazy!

Hawaii Trip

2009-06-29T21:28:00.000-07:00

Were back from Hawaii !!

We had a blast! Everyday we tryed to do at least one big activity. We drove the crazy road to Hana- I never want to do it again!! The road was very small and scary! It was twisty and little with barely room for two cars to fit! But it was fun , it felt like driving though tunnels of jungle. We also went snorkeling off a little island called Molokini and another spot called turtle cove. So we saw tons of fish and a few turtles- the water was so clear! But we didn't see any dolphins so I was kinda sad :( We also went a toured a cute little winery one day and saw the sunrise on Mt. Haleakala. It was so beautiful, we were like above the clouds. We also went to a Luau and got to see them do the hula and play with fire!!

But we missed Masen way too much!! It was really nice to spend time with each other but we just felt lost with out Masen with us!!

Oh and Hawaii must of got our baby excited because I can finally feel him move all good now! I love it!! I'm 19 weeks now and we find out what were having for sure next Tuesday!

Here's some of our pictures from Maui......

First Ultra Sound :)

2009-05-12T22:04:00.000-07:00

Today we had a doctors appointment and we got to hear the heart beat for the first time! I think the doctor said that he had like 160 beats per minute? I'm not sure!

We also got our first ultra sound and found out that the baby is measuring 12 weeks instead of 10 so I think they are moving my due date to Nov 22. That makes Jeremy happy because he is hunting elk like the week after that so now he wont miss his hunt! We asked the ultra sound lady if she could tell if were having a boy or girl and she said it looked like a boy but not to get too jumpy because its still kinda early- I know its a boy! I really don't think were having a girl but we'll see. I already have boys stuff so why not! :) My printer has gone crazy so my scanner won't work but here's a picture of a picture of our baby lol!!

Oh and for mother's day Jeremy got me a new crib since I threw out our old one two days before I found out I was prego!! I love my hubby!!

Perfect day!

2009-04-25T22:09:00.000-07:00

Today has been great! I haven't felt sick all day! Most of the time I just feel yucky on and off though out the day but today has been perfect because I felt normal!!

I have a friend who just made it though her first trimester with out throwing up and I don't understand it!!! I wonder why I cant be like that! And why do they call it morning sickness when you can get sick anytime of the day?!

I remember being sick when i was pregnant with Masen but I don't remember it being this bad! Jeremy doesn't understand why I feel sick and I have to remind him that I'm prego! Silly boys!

Easter and Doctor!

2009-04-13T21:37:00.000-07:00

So this year we actually did something! We took Masen to the park and he raced as fast as he could to collect every egg he saw! He had so much fun I can wait until next year!

Today was my first doctor's appointment and Jeremy went with me. I'm super happy that he's going to be involved in everything this time! My doctor said that I was measuring about seven weeks and thats what i figured! She said that since I had a c-section last time that its safer to have another one this time too. She said that they will take me in at about 39 weeks, so that means I should have this baby right around Thanksgiving time!! It seems sooo far away!

Were going to have a.....

2009-04-03T09:30:00.000-07:00

Baby!!!

We just found out the other day that I'm prego again! It was a suprise to us because we werent really trying or anything and after being off birthcontrol since Masen's first birthday its about time! Were super excited! We've told Masen and he doesnt quite get it yet, I tryed to explain to him how his cousins have brothers and that he'll have a brother but I guess hes still too little to get it.

Were guessing that I'm only a few weeks along and that my due date will be the last week of November/ first week of December-ish! I have a doctor appoinment in a few weeks and they will help me figure it out for sure.

I am so ready for another boy!! I really really really wish we had a house first but at least this time we live in an appartment insted of my parents basement! Oh

AND it was sooooooo much more fun to tell my parents this time! lol!! My dad is already bragging to everyone we know and my mom is happy that Masen will have someone to play with!

Hello to you!!

2009-03-04T22:55:00.000-08:00

So I've started my own at home job!! I sell knockoffs! lol I think its been going great! I sell something almost everyday! Right now I'm waiting for a deal to go though so I thought I'd come update my blog!!

Jeremy is asleep, this is his last week for working nights so I'm happy. I hate being home alone!! Masen is doing great. We took him in for his two year check up (a little late) and hes perfect! Our doctor is in Flagstaff and hes worth the drive! I would hate to see anyone else. He referred us to an eye doctor to check on Masen's eye. Its not bad, it just gets gooey a lot. So the doctor will check out his eye ducts I think, to check how its draining. We haven't made an appointment yet but we need too! Anyways back to work!!

Oh my web page is myspace.com/inspiredfashions1 I have it on private so you wont see it unless your my myspace friend- too many creeps out there :) but if you email me I'll send you pics!!

So everything here is going great. I painted our apartment and it looks the same! Its like a super light brown- like a sand color. I haven't taken pictures yet because our house is a mess. Ive been scrapbooking and doing little crafts here and there because Jeremy has been working nights. I get so scared at night when hes not here. Like all of the sudden the house becomes alive and I can hear every little sound!

Jeremy took a test yesterday morning for a job at the plant. I think its called the ma's pause or something. He feels like he did good so hopefully he pasted and they'll call him for an interview so keep your fingers crossed for him :D The job is for an entry level position but just getting his foot in the door would be awesome! Theres also an apprenticeship job hes going to put in for but we need to work on his resume a little more. Wish us luck!!

Tonights bath...

2009-01-21T20:34:00.000-08:00

Today was my day to watch Bj, Waylon and Brooke. I was over at their house waiting for Brian to come home so I could go and it started getting late so I desided to give the kids a bath and ready for bed. So after a whille I see that Masen made a poop in the tub. It wouldnt have been such a big deal but I had Brooke in there with him! She was so mad! I couldnt stop laughing!
