Quick Update!

We've had quite the exciting past weekend. I ended up in the emergency room on Thursday with major back pains and they diognosed me with Kidney Stones. They sent me home with pain medicine and told me to drink a lot and hopefully it would pass within 24 hours, but it wasn't working since I couldn't keep anything down, so we ended up back in the hospital on Friday evening. They operated Saturday morning and got the stone out thankfully, and I was able to come home Saturday night. Thankfully I'm no longer in pain, and I'm recovering really well. Chris has been great at playing mom with Jayden and he's even able to work a bit from home this week so I can rest. Thanks babe!! We missed out on a fun hike to the Uintah's with my family, but there was no way I was going to be able to make that hike. Thanks to mom and dad for keeping Jayden for us we really couldn't have survived without you!

Happy Birthday Alesha!!

For Alesha's 7th Birthday she wanted to go to Utah's Hogle Zoo with the whole family! (Jenn and Kire weren't able to make it, and we missed you guys)

Alesha & JaydenJayden loves cell phones, as does every little kid I've known!

The Jt's and us

I was fascinated by the giraffe's. They are so beautiful and amazing how long their necks are. I think they are my new favorite!!

All the little kids

Chris, Jayden & me

Chris did so good at showing Jayden all the animals and pointing them out. Hoping that he might be able to see them!

Jayden drinking out of the Lions head. ( I have a picture of me when I was younger in the Lions head too)

So I tried it again!!

By the end Jayden was really ready to be done! But he had a blast!

Thanks for inviting us all Alesha it was tons of fun! I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!

Happy Anniversary to Me (A few weeks late)

Our Anniversary was the 14 of July (I know I've been really slow at posting, but it's been a crazy/busy summer!) Aunt Mindy watched Jayden so we could go out to dinner. Chris took me to Los Hermanos, because it is my favorite ever. It was wonderful. Thanks so much babe! It's been 2 wonderful/amazing years!
Recently I watched P.S. I love you, for the second time. It was good the first time, cried through the whole thing, but it really makes me think of how really blessed I am. And how quickly life goes by and how we never know what may happen. I feel so so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and a great little boy! My life is absolutely wonderful right now and I couldn't wish for anything more. Thanks a ton babe! You are the BEST! P.S. I LOVE YOU

Rodeo

I was informed that I didn't even put up a picture of my wonderful photographer from the rodeo, so here is Camilla and her friends with their rodeo hamburgers. THE BEST IN THE WORLD!! Too bad the Ute Stampede doesn't also serve the Strawberries and Cream like PG's Strawberry Days!! Thanks a ton Mel! Your the greatest!

Pool Party at the JT's

First of all, thanks to Jared & Jessica for the fun Party. Too bad the weather didn't comply to our party, but it was fun!

Jared & Jason. (Doesn't the water look amazing!)

Sabrina and baby Spencer. He was 1 month old that day. And so so cute! Congrats guys!

Chris, Jayden, and me! Can you tell it was freezing. I so didn't want to get in all the way, but once I finally did, it was so much warmer then outside the water!

Our children will all learn to swim, that is a given. Chris was a lifeguard in High School, so he was working on teaching Jayden to blow bubbles. I have to say I was impressed, because Jayden would actually try and then we went swimming a few weeks later and Jayden tried again. Very cute, but he won't be afraid of the water. (And I figure hopefully it'll be less worrying on my part when we go swimming. Probably not, but a mother can hope can't she?)

Cindy & Rob and their 2 kids came, and Heather & Scott and their little girl, and David and his boy! Sorry I didn't get pictures of everyone, but it was lots of fun! Thanks!

Ute Stampede Rodeo

Ok. I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted. It just seems like this summer won't slow down. Between the pool, Rodeo, and Parades, we've been keeping ourselves very busy. And Jayden doesn't last 2 minutes without getting into all of my kitchen cupboards, but that is a whole different post, so....
We went to the Ute Stampede Rodeo in Nephi a few weeks ago. We went with my family. It's a tradition my grandparents started and it's been really fun. We missed it 2 years ago when we got married (The whole family went the night after our wedding) and last year we went but I was 8 months pregnant and it wasn't the most comfortable few hours... :) So we enjoyed this year. And Chris' sister Mindy came with us too. I hope she enjoyed it, it was her first rodeo! (Don't think we're all crazy people now Mindy!)

Jayden's new favorite place is on dads shoulders. (BTW thanks for all the pictures Camilla, your the best!)

Us and Aunt Mindy!

Jayden wasn't a fan of his hat, but it did stay on for most of the beginning!

Jayden was drinking out of dads water bottle and spilled it all down the front of him. Then the wind started blowing so we decided we better dry it out. So we wrapped him up in my jacket to keep him warm. Silly boy!

The half time act was the "One Armed Bandit" He was pretty amazing. He rode his horse with only one arm. And had a whip in the other one. I was very impressed. They then let out 2 buffalo and he herded them up on the top of this trailer. It was pretty cool!

I think this was Jayden's first sno cone and of course they didn't come with spoons or straws, so it was kinda fun!

Thanks mom and dad for keeping up the tradition even though grandma and grandpa were out of town. I hope you 2 had fun in New York though. Hope you come next year!

Guest Post

This post is from my little sister Alesha. She is 7, and I am being her typist.
I have a kitty and it's name is Tiger! It likes to be outside and it likes to run really fast. I love my cat and I love to hold it and play with it. I got it from my sister Anne and Jacob and LeGrand and Jarom and Ashton. They brought it to me from their house in Talmage.

Here is something about me... I put the hose under the trampoline with a straight sprinkler on it and I pretended like I was jumping in the pool, but I was just on the trampoline and so I jumped in the pool and then I landed on my back and then I did a flip. And I did a lot of different tricks.
I'm a climber. I like to climb the walls in my house.
I went to the doctor. I waited there for 3 hours. My doctors name was Doctor Anderson. They said to feed me Spaghetti to help me get better.
Tiger says BYE!!
