Our Crazy Family...

Christmas Time

2012-02-07T10:36:00.001-08:00

Well it's about time I get around to updating about Christmas. This year was so much fun. Paisyn was such a joy!! She was so excited for Santa to come and actually understood what was going on. I love watching through her little innocent eyes. She makes my heart smile!!

Anyways... here are a bunch of pictures. Well we would have a ton more but our camera had a little oops moment and deleted a bunch of pictures.

(yes, I did cry)

This really isn't from Christmas, but how cute is she?
(since it wasn't a white Christmas)

Making some cookies for Santa :)

Kenny said to her "what did Santa bring you?" she yelled "my doll house"
(so bummed I thought it was on video)

So excited!!

Daddy was spoiled from Santa as well :)

Paisyn was spoiled from her grandparents on both sides!!

See that excitement?

Thanks to Santa and all of our family for an amazing Christmas. I love spending the time with family and eating lots of food.

Goodbye 2011

Well as another year comes to an end it makes you reflect how the time went by so fast. I love looking at pictures to see how we have all grown and to see the joys we had together. Here’s a peek of how we made it through this year (as we all know I'm not good at updating this blasted thing so it's a little lengthy).

2011-06-14T21:39:00.001-07:00

Yes we are still alive. Just really busy!! Here is a peak into some of our busy life.

First off I know I have never posted a picture of this darling little girl, but this is our friend Chris and Kallie's little one. I get the pleasure to love on her baby fat a couple times a week and as you can see she has a lot to offer :) Paisyn is in love with her and whenever the doorbell rings she says... "NaNa... Kal"

We have been playing with cousins. Kia (Kaitlin) It's always a party when these girls play together. I can't believe how much Paisyn looks up to Kaitlin (kind of scary) :)

Brock and Cole got to come hang at our house. Paisyn was in heaven. We had lots of yard work to do so they pretty much just explored the backyard.

Brock wanted to help us pull weeds. I promise we didn't make him :) Kenny - "Brock you don't have to help you can go play." Brock- "I like to dig" Here he is with "Large Marge" that's what he would call all the big weeds thanks to Kenny.

We have had lots of tea parties…

We danced...

We played hard... (promise this room was clean 5 minutes before she entered)

We got sick... :(

We made cookies... more like had some dough. Isn't that why you make cookies?

We were a princess at Aunt Kimmie's salon. Paisyn was so funny... When Kim was done she said "a water?" I went and got her drink she was disgusted with me and was like "a washy water" She wanted her hair washed. (video to come. It's on Kenny's phone)

We danced more...

We played and have watched a lot of baseball... Yesterday at Kenny's game she says "ughhhh come on... hit ball" so funny!!!

We had our Gymnastic show... (again video to come)

We got lots of stamps... (at gymnastics) have a mentioned how much I love FLIPS?? They are so good with the kids. Really I feel like Paisyn is learning so much from them (like how to climb out of her crib) but really it's not just all about gymnastics. They have a theme each week. Like how to be kind to your friends week, super hero week and such. So amazing!!!

Kenny and I have had a few date nights... how lucky am I to have this hot guy by my side?? :) Love ya babe and thanks for all your hard work!!

We also made time to sleep... (don't judge... yes Paisyn still has her binky, but only when she sleeps) :)

Lunch...

2011-05-03T15:53:00.001-07:00

I get to have lunch with my best girl everyday but this day was special. The sun was out and it was a great day. I heart this little girl so much and I'm so grateful that I get to do everything with her. She makes me laugh, smile, cry and think of new ways to teach her. She really is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. Anyways... here are some pictures. Ps... Paisyn loves her baby had has to take her everywhere so she joined us for lunch as well.

PAISYN...

2011-03-26T21:19:00.000-07:00

(WARNING BLOG OVERFLOW, don't feel obligated to read) :)

Well cute friends... finally I have some time to sit down and write about our sweet little 2 year old. Can you believe that??? I just got done watching some videos of Paisyn crawling for the first time. WOW!!! is all I can say. Our baby is growing up so fast. She is starting to talk up a storm (well more like we can finally understand her). She is so funny as well. Kenny and I just spent our Saturday night laughing at her. Who needs the comedy club when you have a toddler? Here are some of the things she is saying.

I come (whenever we go anywhere)
Daddy come?
what doin?
Daddy ork? (work)
Why? (hate this one whenever I tell her no she says this, but it's also cute)
What ay? (whenever I get off the phone)
Dopp (stop) and if you keep going it becomes DOPPPPPPP
ide (ride)
Gammie
Timmy (Kimmie)
Kia (Kaitlin)
Okay (in sad voice)
k (in happy voice)
you k (you okay whenever anyone falls or gets hurt)
Bell (Tinker Bell)
natty (nasty)- don't judge :)
itt (sit)
She can also say all of her cousins names

These are just some of my favorite ones, but I really can't believe how much she is talking. Everyday she says something new. I love it!! I just hope she doesn't pick up on some of the words mommy says, YIKES!! I need to watch my mouth.

Anyways here are some pictures of our little girl on her birthday. Well not so little she is actually in the 89% for her weight and 91% for her height. My doctor said people might get her confused with a 3 year old. She is her daddy all around :)

Seriously?? I love this face!

So funny!!! She kissed her present from my parents. She is going to be starting mommy and me tumbling. I can't wait!!! (don't mind my fat face in this picture)

Cole holding Linc. He is almost as big as him.

Paisyn loves to sing. I was in charge of Joy School this last week so I made drums because I had the letter D and she has been playing them and singing ever since. It's so cute!! I just love this little girl. xoxo...

Oh also... I have to say thanks to my mother in law and mom who helped me with the party and also thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with us. So much fun having everyone together.

Room...

2011-03-08T21:01:00.000-08:00

K friends... I know I should be posting about Paisyn's birthday party, but I have to share her cute room that I just finished in time for her party. It have spent lots of late night up working on it and I'm so happy to be done. Well kind of done (we won't tell Kenny that) I always can find more ways to spend money. :)

the simple things...

2011-02-07T13:32:00.000-08:00

... are no longer simple. Like going to get a stamp at the post office. Yeah... not so simple with a toddler. They need to design them better so I can see where she is and keep my place in line all at the same time. I had 2 people walk in and go in front of me because Paisyn was running around. I was so upset, but of course I didn't say anything. I was hoping the other 5 people that were in front of me would say something. I was ready to walk up and say... here is 44 cents put a dang stamp on it and walk out, but finally I got to the front of the line and got a stamp. It took them 2 seconds to help me, but I was there for 10 minutes, which really felt like 20. USPS please make it more simple for us needy moms. Thanks...

X-MAS

2011-01-12T21:16:00.000-08:00

Well its about time... I figure I really need to be better at this posting thing but lets just face it. I suck at this thing called blogging. Well Paisyn was spoiled and so was I. I'm so grateful for what we have and pray that next year we will be able to do more charity work. I feel awful saying this but we didn't do anything this year. It just doesn't seem like Christmas. After Christmas morning was over I felt like something was missing and the longer the day went on the more my heart hurt. Don't get me wrong I loved watching Paisyn get so excited for her new toys, but I thought of those kids that didn't get anything. Anyways it still was amazing to be with our families. So here are some pictures of our holiday season.

We went to my aunts house this year to do cookies. This is something that my mom has always held at her house but this year my aunt took on the duty. It was lots of fun and I always love to see all my cousins faces.

I had to add this. When there is snow on the ground why not play in the garage?

Making more coocoos (as Paisyn would say)

Paisyn and my mom... She was so spoiled by her grandparents. (Just realized I didn't get any pictures with her opening presents with Kenny's parents I'm so bad at this stuff)
Paisyn and her new kitchen... she is loving this thing. I went upstairs yesterday and she had cooked her snacks. I had a big mess but she loved it.
Kenny's awesome arm... Hello
New bike... this was one of the last things that Santa got her. She was beside herself in the store over this thing. So glad Santa saw that she wanted it so bad ;)

Santa Baby...

2010-12-27T13:33:00.000-08:00

So happy waiting in line to see Santa... She kept looking at him. Both Kenny and I thought she would do amazing...
but wait a minute...
Poor thing... and yes I'm totally behind the camera laughing. It's kind of sad looking back. What kind of mom laughs at their child like that... Oh well think what you would like.
I just had to put this picture in well because this has been my days as of late and it's not so fun... Don't you just love the toddler stage?? Well I really do and not all days are like this but it seems to be more and more often... but I still love her :)
With Papa at Grandma B's Christmas party...

And once again not loving Santa... Poor face.
Well I have been wanting to post these and I totally know it's after Christmas and I should be posting Christmas morning but this is what you get... :) Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!

Looking for Stocking Stuffers???

2010-12-19T20:22:00.000-08:00

Christmas is right around the corner.

You've managed to buy the big gift and surprisingly even the thoughtful gift, but something's missing from that big pile of presents...the stocking stuffer.

Looking for some fresh ideas for stocking stuffers this year? Look no further than Scarfology: Your Connection to Today's Latest Styles and Trend.

A little of everything...

2010-11-02T13:50:00.000-07:00

First off look how cute my baby is... (yes I know she is no longer a

baby) She is 20 months this week. I can't get over how fast she is

growing up. She has started walking right into nursary and the

gym daycare like she is big or something. She is so cute...

Here is our conversation from the other day!!!

Mommy: Paisyn where did you get to be so cute?

From mommy or daddy?

Paisyn: Da da...

Mommy: Paisyn where did you get to be so cute

from daddy or mommy?

(thinking she just said it because I said daddy last)

Paisyn: Da da...

How does she know she looks like her dad?? Silly girl!!!

(Picture taken by my cute friend Courtney)

So next thing... This year, Kenny's work started quarterly sales competitions.

Last quarter, We went to Vegas for the weekend. Kenny drove a Nascar,

while I went to the spa. We then went to La Reve .

Well, for this quarter they took us to DISNEYLAND!!

I have to give my husband a shout out because without his hard work

we wouldn't have been able to go. He is so amazing at everything he does

Thanks babe for your hard work!!!

(ps-we didn't take Paisyn since it was a work thing)

We first went to Balboa Island... Which I thought was really an island... Blonde??

It was amazing and I loved the old time feel.

We went to the Crab Cooker (more like Crap Cooker) I hate seafood

and that is all they have, but it was fun because we

were in good company

Jared and Emily and us...

On the bus to DISNEYLAND!!! So happy...

Kenny, Jared and Ron (just a few of the sales guys)

On to the next thing... Today is my marm's birthday...

Yes the day before mine. So I take her to lunch and she pays

for mine and I pay for hers. Kenny said why not just pay

for your own... Silly boys :) I'm so grateful to have

such an amazing person in my life. Thanks mom for being

my marm... Love ya!!!

The last of these pictures are because Paisyn is cute and I

wanted to share... So enjoy!!!

So sad!! :( She wanted mom's camera that I found she had out.

So we took a picture

That's it for now... until next time :) (which could be awhile)

2010-10-26T11:43:00.000-07:00

Here is a little peek into our new home.

We still have a lot of work, but I love it!!!

I made this Trick or treat blocks... It was so fun!!!

2010-10-07T14:06:00.000-07:00

We are all moved in!!

Now we just need to make this house a home :)

Lets just say Paisyn is loving it... She had a

couple of hard nights but is feeling very

much at home now. Here is just a little of what we

have been enjoying about this cute house.

We love to help water the garden and anything else we can :)

"WWEEEEE" (In Paisyn's words) Doesn't

this just make you smile??

Pictures to come of the inside of the house...

Just had to share the cute pictures.

Cleaning List???

2010-09-13T12:49:00.001-07:00

Well I have a question for all of you that have lived in an apartment before. I just got the move out cleaning list from our manager and was pretty surprised and what they ask you to do. I consider myself a pretty clean person and don't think our apartment is that bad so it shouldn't take long, but still this list seems really long. Maybe it's just because I'm thinking of everything else that I need to do. So anyways here is the list....

Kitchen:
Clean sink
Stove - self clean the oven
Replace burner pans
Wipe stove completely
Clean knobs
Clean range fan - replace light bulb if needed (of course ours just went out yesterday)

Refrigerator:
Pull out and clean behind
Clean inside the fridge and freezer
Clean and wipe all sides and top of the fridge

Dishwasher:
Open dishwasher and clan the sides and the top-make sure there is no gunk on the bottom

Cabinets:
Clean and wipe inside and outside of all cabinets

Countertops:
Clean and wipe inside and outside of all cabinets

Walls:
Wipe down all walls and baseboards

Laundry Room:
Clean all walls, shelves and floor

Bathrooms:
Clean- sinks, tubs, toilets, mirrors, faucets, light fixtures, walls, floors and fan.

Front Door:
Clean both sides

Patio:
Clean and sweep - sweep furnace room - replace furnace filter - clean doors

Windows & Blinds:
Clean inside of windows. Dust all window blinds

Items you will be charged for if NOT replaced:
Furnace Filter
Burned out light bulbs
Burner Pans

Is that a long list?? I mean some of these are given and I would do anyways, but other I want to say isn't that why I gave you a deposit of $500?? I think we only get $200 back... I know it won't cost that much to clean the carpets and paint. Anyways... just had to vent. Better get back to work.

2010-08-27T12:30:00.000-07:00

We leave for Vegas tonight and Miss P will be staying with gramma and papa... I can't wait to spend some much needed time with the husband, but I will miss this sweet little face.

Yes she is picking her nose... It the cool thing to do... :)

CHEESE!!! she is totally saying it in this picture. When I look at it I can hear her little voice. I just heart it...

Love ya Miss P... Mommy and Daddy will miss you!!!

HOUSE!!!

2010-08-21T09:19:00.000-07:00

After about six months of looking at houses and thinking of building. We finally found one we love and are under contract... I love it and can't wait to be in next month!!

Update...

2010-08-20T13:35:00.000-07:00

SURPRISED?? I know I haven't blogged in forever and I have thought about doing it a few times and then think of other things I should be doing while Miss P is down for a nap... So I thought I should give a little update on us as of late...

We will start with cute little Paisyn. She is getting so big!!! She's at the toddler stage which is bitter sweet!! One minute she is so freaking cute and I'm laughing my head off and a minute later she is doing something so naughty. I love this stage even on the worst days... Those sweet moments make up for the bitter moments :) Here are a few of Paisyn's favorite things...

Loves to color. She gets her coloring book and crayons and goes to town
Climbing up to the computer even after she has been put in time out a few times
Hearts The Chipmucks... She will watch the Squeakquel over and over if I let her
Loves to look out the window and say outside... It breaks my heart so I have to take her out so she can run around
Dance parties are a must at our house at least once a day, some days it's like 5 times (I can't wait to get her in dance)
Smiles... This girl totally knows how to put a cute little smile on her face when she is in trouble
Plays dolls with mom (goes and gets her baby and pushes her around then mom will babysit for her so she can go to the store.. Pretty cute!!!)
Gets mom's camera and say "CHEEEZZZ" over and over again

That's just a few new things that she has been doing. I love this girl so much and she is so dang cute... Still worried that she isn't talking as much as I wish, but I know she will get there. So lets go onto the next person in the family...

Kenny... I haven't said much about him in a post for a long time. He is such a perfect husband/dad for Paisyn and I. He works so hard for our little family. I'm so grateful for him and our blessings. Kenny has been working super hard at work and also when he gets home. He helps me and then goes back to work on our sites... Yes I said sites... Kenny and his business partner have opened a new business. Check it out HERE!! It has been going really well. We have been live for about 6 months... We still have a lot of work and more product to get up. So if you are looking for anything make sure you think of us :)

So that is about it... I know there is more but I'm so overwhelmed because I haven't blogged in so long and I don't know where to go next… So I will let some pictures do the talking for me :)

Thinking about climbing up to the computer but mom is right next to her :)

She took all of her toys out so she could get in... Silly girl!!!

Her cousin just love her to death... :)

This is what your hair looks like when you take a 3 1/2 hour nap... LOL!!!

Lets hope I don't wait so long to post next time...

Eternity...

2010-05-10T21:01:00.000-07:00

We had such a special day as our family was sealed for "Time and all Eternity"
It turned out to be a beautiful day!! I'm so grateful for all the family
and friends that were there to support us.

I’m not going to say much because I feel these pictures talk for themselves.

This is just some of the pictures!! Thanks Ashlee and Kim for taken lots
of pictures for us to remember this special day!

~Mommy Day~

2010-05-10T20:14:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day!!! My mother's day was amazing!!
Here is how it went:
Sleeping in until 9:30
Waking up to a clean house, a beautiful daughter
and an amazing husband
A nice nap ( I haven't went to bed before 1 for the last 3 weeks
promise I'm not just lazy) :)
Flowers
A new outfit
and some yummy VS lotion and body spray
Thanks babe for a extra special day!!!

I'm so grateful for all the mother's in my life, especially my marm!!
I will always look up to her and hope that one day I can
be half the mom she is to us. Love ya lots!!!

Busy Life...

2010-04-08T12:06:00.001-07:00

... yes we are still here. I log on and see all of your cute families.

I just don't want to think of what to say with each picture :) We just have so much going on.

I really should be cleaning my house or doing something productive, but...

I figure this is pretty productive right?? ;)

Anyways... can you guys believe Paisyn is 14 months??? Yes it's true!!

Well I wanted to give you guys a little update on her.

She has a smile that melts all of our hearts. She is just always so happy

Very very independent

Runs everywhere

A little on the crazy side (even more crazy if she misses a nap)

Loves her babies/teddy bears
Pushes her stroller with her babies, books, blocks and anything she can find around the house

Loves her books and ours also :) That is another video that needs to be posted of her (yes I still haven't figured it out, please don't judge me)

Isn't talking real words all that much, but does say...

whos thad (in a whisper)

whass thad

and of course dada and sometimes mama :( (she likes to call me dada)

Also today said yummmm yummmm for yummy yummy

Will jabber non-stop... full on look at us and say things that we have no idea. Lets just say I'm a little scared of when she puts all those words together. She will never shut up :)

Loves to play with other kids (older or younger)

Can't wait for her dada to come home each day

Plays with her toys in her room (I will be making lunch and have to go check on her)

Likes to color (more like eat the crayons)

Gets into everything that she shouldn't and then smiles at me as she is doing it (yes I know we are in trouble)

Anyways... that is all I can think of right now. So enjoy some pictures :)

So yummy

Is she not just so beautiful?? I totally know I'm her mom

-so if you don't agree just act like it :) No but really I love this picture,

this is how she looks at everyone in the store and then she will act shy,

which trust me she isn't at all

This is her say "cheese" moment

Attack mommy...

We went to Disney on Ice with Grammie, Aunt Kim, and Kaitlin.

It was so much fun!!! Love this picture

with Grammie... This is Paisyn being her crazy self

Silly Goosie!!! She took my camera and took this picture

Before we left for the big night with the girls :)

Now these pictures are from awhile ago,

but I had to post

Well that is it for this post... Hope I get to Easter this week :)

Paisyn is ONE!!!

2010-03-22T12:28:00.000-07:00

... well almost a month ago :) We have been so busy. Her birthday party was so fun... (thanks mom) Paisyn just keeps getting cuter and cuter everyday. We just love her and can't picture life without our Miss P.

Darling cake was made by my friend Lindsay. Check out her blog here
Thanks everyone that made her day special. xoxoxo...

~My heart remembers~

2010-02-27T14:59:00.000-08:00

Thanks to my sister-in-law for giving this blog out. I won't lie I spent a lot of time with tears streaming down my face - both happy and sad for this amazing family. As they pull together and fight though one of the toughest times in their life. So I wanted to share their story. It makes me remember how much our Heavenly Father loves each of us.

Life is short, enjoy all of it. xoxoxo...

Yes...

2010-02-19T09:22:00.001-08:00

...I'm pretty sure I have a blog :) We have been so busy, so here is just a little of what we have been doing.

Thanks to Zagg (Kenny's work) who gave us tickets to the Jazz game and not just any tickets... 2nd row tickets. It was awesome!! Pretty sure we were on TV... We got a text from Kenny's cousin saying he looked bigger on TV... lol!! They do say TV adds 10 pounds right :)

This is really why we have been so busy... Picking up after Paisyn. This was so cute!! I walked in to put Paisyn down for bed and this is what I find. She had pulled all of her clothes out of her dirt hamper. Little stinker!!! (I have a video but still can't get them on my computer and Kenny has been to busy to help)

And then just today Paisyn decided that our fake tree doesn't need all the fake moss stuff in it, so she took it out. It looks much better this way mom...

We also have had a little time to sit down and watch Nick Jr. What would I do without it??? Paisyn loves it and it's the only thing that will allow me to pick up her messes and not have her make more.

We always have to have time to play and take pictures of this cute little one...

Say cheese!!!

Oh not happy...

Look how much her hair is growing in... I love it and I never want to cut it. Also look how blonde it has gone from when she was born.

Walking, walking, walking... that's all we do now.

Silly girl... Walking with her eyes closed.

I want that camera mommy...

Oh dear... we are done :)

Well that's just a little of what we have been doing. Next up I'm sure her birthday... Can you believe she will be 1 in a few weeks? It's killing me...

Walking Girl...

2010-01-26T10:43:00.000-08:00

Yes it's true... Our baby is walking. She started walking on 1/16 and I have a video that I want to put up but I can't figure out my new camera and how to get it uploaded onto my computer. I will post once Kenny has a minute to help me.

Christmas Fun!!!

2010-01-26T10:03:00.000-08:00

Christmas was so much fun... We woke up and had Christmas with our little family. Later we went to the Trythall's and then to the Nielsen's. Miss P got lots of books, toys, movies and clothes. She of course was spoiled by grandmas and grandpas. Thanks to everyone for an amazing Christmas.

Daddy's new shoes :)

Playing her drum...

Lost in thought

2010-01-13T15:21:00.000-08:00

First off… I know I will get to Christmas soon, but I can’t stop thinking about this. My friend Joni has had me pondering hard the last couple of days (click here to see why). Well as some of you know I don’t do really well on diets and since I had Paisyn I haven’t been able to drop the last 10 pounds. I know some of you may think. It’s only 10 pounds; well it’s not just the pounds I want to drop. I need to make a life change for the entire family. I feel like when I’m not happy with my health it hurts everyone. My body most likely will never be the same and I may never get back to my old weight, but I need to be healthier. So with that said, I’m going to start keeping a journal of what I eat each day. To make it harder I want to see if any of you want to do this with me?? Monday we will email each other of how we did and give each other ideas. I’m competitive and figure if I have someone that I’m accountable to tell each week how I have done then I will do better. Let me know what you think.

Also on another note, do you ever just sit back and look at all you have?? I have been hit hard today. I found myself the last couple of months thinking we made a mistake in moving back. I think of all we had in Arizona, but we have so much more here. I’m grateful for my loving husband, our beautiful daughter, family and the gospel. Kenny is such a hard worker and we have been so blessed. Thanks babe for all the sacrifices you make for our little family.

WOW....

... It has been forever and yes I'm going to post about Thanksgiving even if it was a month ago. We have been so busy... So these pictures aren't really in order but who really cares right? :) We went to AZ for Thanksgiving it was a blast like always. (I'm sorry to the friends that we weren't able to visit this time, the entire Trythall family was down and we had a busy fun week planned). We were able to get family pictures while we were down with all the grandkids. Yes it wasn't easy, but they turned out pretty good for screaming kids. So here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving weekend and a little more because I forgot to post some pictures of Miss P...

Family Pics...

How cute is she??

Christmas card

Entire Trythall Fam...

Crazy sisters... Missing one.

There she is... and no I'm not picking my nose.

Here are the pictures that I forgot to post of Miss P.... Can she get any cuter??

Piggers.... LOL!!

So funny!!!

Loves to help mom cook :)

Oh dear... Mom is taken all the fun away.

Next up is Christmas... I promise I will get it posted soon.

Welcome Back!!!

2009-11-11T16:00:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone… welcome back to our now private blog. I thought it would be fun to do 10 random facts about me. So here it goes…

1 ~ I’m a clean freak (not as bad as my mom) but still I can’t go to bed with the house dirty. This has been hard since we had Paisyn all her toys have to be picked up whenever she goes down for a nap or bed. I wish I could break this but I panic if the house is dirty.

2~ I love to wake up with Miss Paisyn in the middle of the night. (don’t tell Kenny) As long as I get more then 2 hours of sleep or she doesn’t wake up more then once I love it. I love the time with her. She cuddles and it’s hard to get those these days, so I will take it!!!

3~ I think I’m OCD when it comes to washing my hands. I wasn’t this bad until we had Paisyn, but I wash them and put Germ-X on my hands so much that my hands are going to fall off. They are so dry…

4~ Oh the tattoo!!! Some may already know this, but I have an ugly tattoo on my foot. I want to have it removed, but Kenny tells me it is ok and it’s not that bad (I think to myself whenever he says that. Has he seen that hideous thing??) He doesn’t know this but I will have it removed before Paisyn is in school. (that’s my goal) I never want her to look at me and think that mom was some kind of partier. I will bring it up when the time is right.

5~ It’s true we are part of an MLM!!! I love it and I will give it 5 years before I will say it didn’t work. Click here for our site!!!

6~ I learn more in our Primary class then the kids do. They have all the answers and I’m surprised each week.

7~ I secretly sometimes (if that makes since) want to move back to AZ. I love to have our family close by, but it’s hard on Holidays. I hate telling the other family that we won’t be with them that year. Being in AZ we only had a few of us and we would just spend it together.

8~ I have always wanted to be someone way high up in a company. Like a CEO or something. That would be awesome!!!

9~ Big houses aren’t for me. No matter if we have money I don’t want a big house. A big house means you will be farther away from your kids. I want them close to me.

10~ I totally played with Barbie’s until I was in like 8th grade. I didn’t have them out at my house, but when I went to my cousins I would play with them.

Let’s hear more about you… Anyone that reads this should do this as well. It’s kind of fun!!!

All in one...

2009-11-04T14:28:00.000-08:00

... Here is a little of everything. I can't believe it has been another month. Paisyn is now 8 months. She is growing up so fast. Here are a few of her new things this month.

Pulls herself up to anything that she can
Walks around all the furniture
Her little personality just keeps growing more and more
She started to get silly (pulls funny faces, will look at me and just smile big and laugh, she thinks she's pretty funny)
Loves to watch Signing Time
Thinks she is so big (picks up a toy and stands up and then drops it so she can bend over and pick it up again) silly girl!!!

Here are some pictures from Halloween my best friend Ashlee made this cute tu tu for Paisyn. I put the black dots on (I just tacked them on so I can take off and still have this darling tu tu for something else) Paisyn was a little ladybug.

Paisyn and her cousin Kaitlin. So beautiful...

So fun playing in the walker...

Paisyn tried on Kaitlin's first Halloween costume. Such a cute monster :)

Goosie and her special pumpkin :)

Goosie reading to baby P....

Daddy's little Yankee fan...

I found Paisyn this way the other day... To funny!! Had to move her so her legs didn't fall asleep

Going Private...

2009-10-26T11:32:00.000-07:00

Yes… I know I have said this before but I didn't know how to do it. I just figured it out and we will be going private on November 6th... Please leave me your email address if you would like to continue looking at our blog. Thanks!!!

Happy 3 years....

2009-10-22T19:28:00.000-07:00

Yep it's true... Kenny and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on the 19th. Kenny is amazing and planned a night for just us up in Park City. He took care of all the details. What a sweetheart.... He got this amazing room (he finally made up for making me stay at the Oasis on a trip home from AZ) :) Here are some pictures of our awesome room...

As you can tell this is the kitchen :)

Living roomLiving room fireplace

Our bedrooms fireplace

Our bathroom... (it had 2 bathrooms, we could so live there would just need an extra room for P)

The only picture I got of us :( I suck at taken pictures now. I just wanted to relax. Well and Kenny hates pictures (what guy doesn't???)

Of course I had to put a picture of P on since she is so dang cute… :) She fell asleep during dinner the other night. It was funny but sad. We had been running around all day and she didn’t get her 2nd nap. I felt so bad!!!

I can't believe it has already been 3 years... It has gone by so fast. I am so grateful for my amazing husband... I look forward to this next year and all it holds. Thanks babe for putting up with me for 3 years :) Love you with all my heart!!!

Are you kidding me....

2009-10-08T10:14:00.000-07:00

Can she get any cuter??? I know I’m a little bias, but I think she is pretty dang cute!!

Look what I can do....

2009-09-28T20:19:00.000-07:00

.... Now let’s see if mommy can change my diapers without me escaping. he he he...

Bear Lake Fun

2009-09-09T16:40:00.000-07:00

We took a little road trip to the cabin in Bear Lake. It was so much fun.... We had a blast with my family.

We got to Bear Lake late Friday night. The drive there was not fun!! Paisyn had a hard time in the car. That is the longest trip she has ever taken. Poor baby!! We had to stop in Clinton to eat and then Logan. Finally she fell asleep so we could finish the drive. (not looking forward to the drive to AZ)

My mom got Paisyn these cute sun glasses. She is such a diva!! I know I always say this but I can't believe how big she is getting.

Saturday we got up and went on the boat. It was kind of cold so we bundled Paisyn up. Finally the sun came out and she was able to show off her cute belly!!

So sweet!! All bundled up!!

The life jacket was so funny on Paisyn... She couldn't move!!!

Sunday we took my car 4 wheeling... Poor thing!!! Paisyn needed to take a nap and everyone else went out on the boat. Kenny and I told them we would meet down at the beach when she got up. The cabin is at Bear Lake West and the HOA has a private beach, but you have to go through a small lake (puddle, but might as well be a lake) My brother left his keys for his truck so we could take it, well when I called my parents they said that a little neon and other non 4 wheel cars were out there so we just took our car. Bad idea!!! Well we never got stuck but we were in water up to my doors. I was freaking out since I was the one driving and Kenny was yelling YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING... YOU CAN'T GO SLOW!!! Once we made it we get out and started to walk away and I lock it and a little baby horn went off (sounded like it should be on a little bug or something) I felt so bad for the 6... (cars name) Nothing is wrong with the car, but we can officially say the 6 has done it all!!! (I didn't get a picture of the small lake, maybe next time)

Monday wasn't a good day for boating so my mom watched Paisyn and Kenny and I went on the 4 wheeler above our cabin. It is the most amazing view ever!! So we had to take some pictures.

For those of you that have gone boating with us you know Roger (my step-dad) is amazing!! He is almost 50 (sorry for sharing this info) and still gets out on the water. He does the air chair (which is not easy) and not only does he get out in the water he does back flips and is just learning to do a new trick... a barrel roll!! He landed 2 and of course I didn't get those of video. DANG!!! He is so awesome!!

All in all... it was an amazing trip. I always love going and spending time with my family and doing something that Kenny and I both love. Thanks Mom and Roger

6 Months... Where is my baby???

2009-09-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

What the crap... I feel like it was just yesterday we were finding out I was prego and now we have a 6 month old. First off that is crazy to say we have a 6 month old. She is half way to a year :( I love to watch Paisyn grow and learn new things, but I want my baby back. You can't blink or you will miss out.

Here is a little of what our little princess is doing:

Kisses... oh how I love these
Still doing army crawl. She is getting super fast. She follows me around the house, so cute!!
Gets on knees and then goes up into push-up position (daddy already has her working out) :)
Has two teeth (not that fun I'm a little jealous of Laci) :)
Tells many of stories
Loves peas... nasty!! Have you guys tasted them??? YIKES!!!
For some reason she likes to be scared... she laughs and thinks it's funny.

Here are some pictures of Paisyn sleeping. So cute the last couple of days I have walked into her room and find this. (Of course I didn't leave her, but I thought it was cute!!)

Then this one... I had to laugh!! So hard being a princess :)

Sneak Peak!!

2009-08-19T14:23:00.000-07:00

I have something to admit on here. I suck at decorating. I did Paisyn's room by myself, but then had our aunt come in and help me. She is amazing... So she has been helping me forever. She helped me over the phone when we lived in AZ, but just isn't the same as having her here. So here are some pictures of what she has done for me so far. We still have a lot of work to do, but I can't wait. Guess how much I have spent?? Nothing so far!!! She is just working with what I have. Amazing!!! And when I do spend money it’s on something that I can move into another room. She will have you buy quality so it will last. She is so smart about it!!! She also lets your style come into play which is so nice because who wants a house like your neighbor??

K I will post more pictures once all my rooms are done. Still have lots more work to do, but I think it is coming together. Let me know if you want her name and number. She isn't very much and is well worth the money you spend on her in the long run. Also if you live out of state she has done many of homes out of state...

Blog Overload!!

2009-08-11T19:19:00.001-07:00

Oh wow... I'm a little behind on the blog world. I have been very busy the last couple of weeks. Here is what we have been up to...

First off... I have been taken care of this sweet little girl. Oh how I love her and I'm so grateful that I get to stay home with her. (Thanks babe!!)

PS- Notice her new bling?? She got her ears done this last Saturday... (I know I'm a rude mommy, but I believe it is better to do it at a young age because she can't play with them and doesn't even know it’s there. Also very easy to clean them at this age)

*Don't forget to watch the video at the end... I think my baby will be crawling soon :(

I have been working on Miss Paisyn's room. (I know most mom's have this done before their babies get here, but we were living with my in-laws and I didn't get to do her room before) We moved out about 2 months ago into a new apartment while we wait to buy a house. (with Kenny transferring jobs this year and the new lending rules we can’t get a loan. He has to be with the company for a year) I had a hard time figuring out what to do in her room. I didn't want to have it to babyish because I don’t want to change everything in a year when she is a toddler. So I did more of a big girl princess look.

Here is the table Ash and I made... Very easy and cheap, so she can color on it (kidding) :)

Her princess bed...

The sign says "it's not easy being a princess... but if the crown fits..." (so true) :)

I also was a slacker when we moved in and didn't really organize her closet... So I have been also working on that...

Before....

After.... (still could use some work, I just need more room for crap... the joys)

I put all of her flowers on a piece of ribbon and hung it from her door. (I thought I was pretty smart until I saw one at the store... Dang thought I was amazing.)

I also had to take some breaks to play with this little sweet thing... Bath time has become one of her favorite times of the day. She is always so happy, but she sure loves the bath...

We have started solids... Yay for big girls!!!

And oh how she loves it...

We also love to go swimming.. Another one of Paisyn's favs!! Just loves the water!!

We also had Kenny's brother come into town with his four kids... It’s the first time Paisyn has met the kids. We can't wait to go visit them. Also C, C & L and all of our friends in AZ for Thanksgiving.
(PS... that is a warning to all of our friends in AZ you better stay home for Thanksgiving) :)

Charlee and Miss Paisyn...

Aunt Dawn... Paisyn just loves her.

All the kids...

Porter loves his baby P...

Diet???

2009-07-24T11:43:00.000-07:00

What's that?? Yeah it's official... I SUCK at diets!!! I tell my sweet little self that today is the day and I'm not going to eat that blasted sugar. I even got up at 5:30 to workout but guess what I just got done eating?? You got it... SUGAR!!What's my problem?? I really need help!!! I was like one little piece isn't going to kill me... Well now I just feel like oh well guess I will have to start tomorrow, go ahead eat another one. So tomorrow it is... Well maybe Monday now because it's the weekend. Who diets on weekend’s right???

Fun at the Park!!

2009-07-21T16:26:00.001-07:00

Hey all... we went to the park for family night. It was a blast!! We live right by a pretty nice park, so I have gone there a couple of times with our niece Kaitlin. This time Paisyn got out of her bike (as Kaitlin would say, *aka stroller) and went on the swings. She loved it!! She just loves to be outside. Here are some pictures of our night out!!

Grateful.....

2009-07-08T07:45:00.000-07:00

Well I can't help but post this. I have been thinking how blessed I am to be able to stay home with Paisyn. I don't know what I would do if I had to go to work. Thank you babe for all you do. Your hard work means the world to us. You are amazing and I'm so grateful for everything you do. Love you always!!!

The numbers are in…

2009-07-03T08:11:00.000-07:00

The good ol doctor visit went well. Here are Paisyn's numbers.

Wt: 15 lbs - 80%
Ht: 24 1/2 - 61%

We have been told that we can start solids when I feel Paisyn is ready, which I think I will start in the next couple of weeks or so. Also Dr Doug thinks Paisyn is doing great and thinks she will do things fast. Since she is already rollin over from back to front like a champ.

Dr Doug is amazing... He is so great with Paisyn and isn't in a hurry, so I don't feel rushed when I'm asking him questions. If you are in the Bountiful area and need a doctor let me know and I will get his info.

On another note... Look how cute this site is: http://www.peanutposh.com/ They have darling things and make me want a boy next. Look how cute the Bruiser Neckties... Carly I may need to steal Linc from you :)

FINALLY HAVE INTERNET AGAIN...

2009-07-01T21:19:00.000-07:00

Well we have moved... and freaking Qwest has some pretty dumb people working for them. We have been without internet for almost a month. So here is an update

First off... I need to give a shout out to my amazing husband. This was his first Father's Day!! I fall in love with him all over again when I see him with Paisyn. He is the best father and husband. I'm so blessed to share this precious little girl with him. Thanks babe for all you do for Paisyn and I. You are simply amazing!!! Love you always... XOXOXO

Paisyn is so big. We have her 4 month check up tomorrow. I can't wait to see what the doctor has to say about her. I love to watch her grow and learn new things.

Here is her newest trick... Go Paisyn!!! So big...

Well goodbye until tomorrow :) I will post about her doctor's visit and I have another darling video, but this blasted thing takes forever to upload and I need to get to bed.

A Child's Conversation With God

2009-05-19T09:46:00.001-07:00

I stole this from Laci's blog, to cute!! I cry every time I read it. Thanks Laci!!

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?

'God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.'God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?'God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.''Who will protect me?'God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Isn't she beautiful??

2009-05-12T21:09:00.000-07:00

Wow... Time goes by fast. I can't believe Paisyn is already 10 weeks old. It is amazing how fast time goes. I wish I could bundle her up and keep her little forever, but I'm also so excited to watch her grow. I don't want to miss out on a minute of her. Here are some pictures. Also, want to remind everyone that we are going private. If you would like to continue viewing our blog send me your email. Even if you’re a blog stalker… We all do it :) So don’t be shy…

Paisyn hangin out with mom... We have so much fun together... Well I have fun with her she can't really tell me if she is having fun yet :)

Paisyn getting ready for a girls night...

Paisyn and I went to Nat's wedding shower. It was so great to see all my girls and to meet new ones. I also have put Julie in charge of girls nights once a month. So I will be following up with her :) lol... she is the marm...

Don't forget to send your email... :)

Mom's Day!!!

2009-05-12T20:35:00.000-07:00

I know this is late, but late is better then never :) I wanted to give a shout out to my awesome mom in my life. My mom is simply amazing in my eyes and I don't know where I would be without her. I always thought I knew how much she did for my brother and me, but becoming a mom myself has opened my eyes even bigger to all she has provided us with. I can't imagine raising two children on my own and only with one income. My mom has never complained once about what she was handed in life. I wish I was like this :) I never heard her complain. She made the best of everything and was always there for us kids. We always came first. She is the most selfless person I know. I hope I'm half the mom that she is and that Paisyn will have as close of a bond with me as I have with her. Love you mom and sorry this is late... XOXOXO

my mom thought it would be funny to put chocolate on our teeth. She is so fun and goofy to be around. I'm so glad we are back in Utah and close to her again.

Paisyn is a big girl...

2009-04-21T20:57:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how fast Paisyn is growing up. It feels like just yesterday I was in the hospital... She is 7 weeks now and started smiling last week. I got her on video and wanted to share with all. She is so cute... I don't know what we would do without her in our life. She is such a blessing to us. Hope you all enjoy!!!

Going Private!!!

2009-04-20T10:01:00.000-07:00

Now that Paisyn is here we think it is a good idea. If you would like to continue viewing our blog please send me your email.

Our princess

2009-04-06T16:40:00.000-07:00

I can't believe our little angle is already a month old. Here are some updated pictures. I don't know what we would do without her.

Bath Time...

2009-03-26T19:48:00.001-07:00

Paisyn just loves her bath time... Well until mom has to wash the body :) She loves to be pampered already. We blow dry her bum (something the doctor recommended). It is the cutest thing ever... She just sits there like oh yeah that feels good.

Here are some pictures of bath time...

Livin' in the 801....

2009-03-19T22:18:00.000-07:00

You have to watch this... I laughed my butt off and have to keep watching it over and over.

~BEING A MOM IS THE BEST~

2009-03-15T14:15:00.001-07:00

I can't tell you guys how amazing it is to have Paisyn here. It is such a blessing. I love just watching her. She is so precious... I don't know what Kenny and I ever did without her in our life. She already has the cutest personality. We are just loving on her...

Here are some updated pictures...

Love this picture...

Looks just like her daddy in this picture...

I know I said I would post about my labor. I just haven't had time. I will try and get it posted soon. Hope you enjoyed the pictures...

Baby Paisyn!!

2009-03-08T20:48:00.001-07:00

Well she is finally here...

Paisyn Rae

March 02, 2009
6:26 PM
7 lbs, 14 ozs
20 in

Sleeping with daddy!! Kenny is the best dad.

First day home from the hospital. We had to try out her darling swing.

I have to admit... I had a really easy labor. I will have to post about that later. I have a precious little girl to go feed :)

Still no baby :(

2009-02-24T09:43:00.000-08:00

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday... It was great fun!! Last week when I went he told me he didn't think I would make it through the week. Paisyn is so low and I'm thinned out and dilated to a 2 but still no baby. I was praying that I would go into labor because we had to speak in church on Sunday. Guess the bishop was praying harder :) We have been trying everything to get her to come but nothing is working. I don't understand... She wanted to come early and now she is being a little stinker I am so ready... but I'm happy to say that if she doesn't come by Monday the 2nd I will be induced at 7:15. I will keep everyone posted.

My Valentine

2009-02-12T13:28:00.000-08:00

Since Valentine’s Day is on Saturday I thought I would write about my valentine. Of course it is Kenny :) here are a few reasons why I love this man… he is so sweet, kind, funny and loving. He treats me so well and is always there for me. He is a hard worker and never gives up. He stresses out over the dumbest things :) but that is because he wants to be the best at everything and he always is. Kenny always has a way of putting a smile on my face even when I’m upset or sad… He loves everyone that he meets and always wants to help those around him. He has an amazing testimony, and knows so much about the Gospel. He is my personal missionary!! Kenny is going to be an amazing dad. I know it just hit him the other day that he is going to be a dad and he is very scared, but I know he will always be able to provide for Paisyn in every way and she will love her daddy unconditionally. I am so grateful for such a strong husband. I really don’t know what I would do without him. I love you babe… Thanks for being such an amazing person!
Love always!!

Getting Close!!!

2009-02-09T12:52:00.001-08:00

Well we are getting close to having our little stinker bug. We had a doctor's appointment today and I'm all the way thinned out and dilated to a 2. Doctor thinks I won't last much longer, but told us it was like waiting for the second coming. We also had a stress test to make sure Paisyn was moving and was not stressed out. It went great!!! She moved a lot and heartbeat was great. She also had the hiccups while we were doing the test. It was funny to hear them on the monitor. I will start seeing the doctor every week until I have her now. It is crazy to think she can come at anytime.

So... I thought it would be fun to have everyone guess when she would be here (this idea came from Carly). So let us know what you think.

Shower

2009-02-01T19:06:00.000-08:00

My best friend Ashlee had a friend shower for me. She did such an awesome job. Thanks Ash... It was great to see all of our friends. Thanks to all my great friends we got some pretty cute stuff.

My cute mom... I just love her. She let us use her house for the shower not only on Saturday, but also Friday night. My sister-in-law and cousin had a family shower for us as well. I will have to post pictures from that shower as well.

Thanks again to all of my friends. You are awesome!!!

It has been awhile...

2009-01-28T20:35:00.000-08:00

Well not much is new... We have been working on getting Paisyn's closet put together. It is great fun :) I'm finally 34 weeks and just keep getting bigger. We went to the doctor on Monday and she is doing great. Still sitting really low, but that is good for when I deliver her. Doctor wants me to keep taken it easy for a few more weeks. We now need to make it to 36 weeks, so keep us in your prayers.

On another note I wanted to share some awesomeness from our niece. She cracks me up... I thought that I was going to go into labor because I was laughing so hard. She is in love with Paisyn, she never stops talking about her. Whenever she comes over that is all she will ask me about. When is Paisyn going to be here, what does Paisyn look like, and even how will she get out? (that one I left for her mom to answer). So I showed her an ultrasound picture of Paisyn and here is how our conversation went…

Me: Kaitlin look at this picture of Paisyn

Kaitlin: eww… ugly

Me: she doesn’t really look like that. She isn’t really black and white

So Kaitlin doesn’t say another word and a few weeks pass by and I’m saying the pray at dinner and I finish and Kaitlin goes… Please bless that Paisyn will be cute. I couldn’t stop laughing. She says the funniest things.

I have posted a video of her so you can get to know her. She is a crazy little girl, but we love her to death.

A NEW YEAR!!

2009-01-03T16:40:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. We had a fun Christmas... Paisyn got spoiled and she isn't even here yet. I have posted some of her things she got.

Daddy's outfit for Paisyn, she has to have a pink Yankees outfit...

Aunt Kimmie got Paisyn these really cute socks, but they look like shoes... I can't wait to put them on her.

Grandma got her this Live Elmo... I'm a little scared of it :) No it really is cute!!

She also got the following... I wish I knew if we were going to have only girls. I would buy only pink, but I don't think our little boys will look to cute in a pink flower car seat :

Daddy putting together her stroller.

Daddy only got his car part... Yeah that is about all he got since it was over the budget price :) Cody did get him this cool book that has a bunch of Baseball facts and cool stuff in it. He also got money from my parents and his.

As always I got spoiled... Kenny got me everything I asked for and more. Which inclued my new maternity pants, a new coat, pedicure gift card, my face lotion, smell good stuff from VS, and 2 pairs of boats with the fur :)

And as always our parents and grandparents spoiled us. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful Christmas.

Now... Since this is a new year and all. I wanted to do a slide show of the last year.

PS- When I went to the Dr. on Christmas eve I was told Paisyn is doing good. She has moved up and isn't stationed at a +2 anymore, so that is great news. However, I'm still on bed rest. I have another Dr. appointment on the 12th.

Back to the hospital...

2008-12-23T18:52:00.000-08:00

We headed back to the hospital last Wednesday. I was having contractions again. This time they were lasting a lot longer and harder. We ended up staying two nights. I'm dilated more and also thinning. I have been sent home to be on strict bed rest. Paisyn is still has a very strong heartbeat, all the nurses would say she is such a strong little girl already. I’m very blessed to have a wonderful husband like Kenny. He has been taken such good care of me. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow. I will keep you all updated.

PS- sorry if this doesn't make sense they have me on some meds that make me a little loopy :)

6 Months...

2008-12-10T08:22:00.001-08:00

This is what is going on since my last blog. Paisyn is still in my belly... YAY!! I have a Dr. appointment next Monday and can't wait to see what he says. Last time I was in he told me to take it easy. I wasn't on bed rest anymore, but this is a hard time of the year to take it easy... What is that?? I know I need to because we don't need Paisyn coming early. So I’m just getting fat, not going to the gym is a hard thing. It makes me feel better to be able to workout, but I have put this on hold.

Anyways I thought it was time for a belly pictures as requested. So here you go…

Picture Tag

2008-12-10T08:01:00.000-08:00

Thanks Ashlee for the tag... Here are the rules... Post the 10th photo in your 4th folder.

I tag... Whoever wants to do it?

Kenny took this picture when we first starting seeing each other. As you can see I really didn't want him to take my picture. First off... My dear friend (I won't say her name) colored my hair black. I have always been blonde or a light dark color, but my friend insisted that she needed to put a level 2 on my hair (for those of you who don't know color 1 is black and 10 is blonde). I had always done maybe a 4 or 5. I kept telling her not to put a level 2 on because I would go black. She didn't believe me and must have mixed the level 2 cause this is no level 4. It took Kenny's sister (Kim) a year to get me back to my normal blonde. Now whenever I think I want to go dark. Kim tells me she won't do it, because she doesn't want to listen to me cry. I'm glad I have such an awesome stylist and sister... PS- if you live in Utah I recommend her.

Night in the hospital + Bed Rest

2008-11-23T12:25:00.000-08:00

Well this came at the worst time ever... Kenny's brother and family came into town Saturday and Friday morning I woke up not feeling very well. I started have contractions, so I called the Dr. he said to get into labor and delivery right away. When I got there my contractions were a minute apart and I was dilated to a finger tip. They started to give me shots to stop the contractions, which these shots make you feel like your heart is going to jump out of your chest. Paisyn was doing just fine. Her heart rate was great and she was a happy baby, moving all around. It was just mom. So after 3 shots and rest the contractions have slowed down. The Dr. also gave me another shot, just in case I go into labor early. It helps Paisyn's lungs to develop faster. So now I'm at home on bed rest. I'm so glad I have a Dr. that is over protective, but this pretty much sucks!! I just don't want Paisyn to come early.

MISSING OUT!!

2008-11-18T09:05:00.000-08:00

Well for those who don't know, Kenny and I have moved back to the big UT. We have been back for about a month. I had a really hard time being in Arizona without my mom. Once we found out we were having baby Paisyn things got much harder on me. I'm so close to my mom and grandma. I didn't want Paisyn not to have that same thing with her grandma's. We prayed for 3 long months. Our answer to our pray was money isn't more important then family. Also, we didn't want to raise our kids in Arizona. We were very blessed to be able to move to Arizona and to grow together, but it has been very nice to be back.

Now I'm facing another problem. I got these pictures of our nieces and nephews and now we are missing out on them growing up. I feel like anywhere we go we are going to miss something. They have grown so much since we left a month ago.

Look at these pictures of our nieces and nephews in Arizona. They are all so beautiful and getting so big.

What a sassy girl...

Carly I totally stole this from your blog... :)

We miss all of you in Arizona and can't wait to see you for the hoildays. Love you much!! XOXOXO....

Happiness, Your Heritage

2008-11-11T10:57:00.000-08:00

I love this talk that was giving at the women's conference this year and wanted to share it with everyone. I just love to listen to President Uchtdorf.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Happiness, Your Heritage,” Ensign, Nov 2008, 117–20

Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness.

My dear sisters, I am grateful for this, my first opportunity to speak to the women of the Church gathered together in all parts of the world. We are especially honored today with the presence of President Monson and President Eyring. The choir has touched our hearts. We have been inspired by the messages of Sister Thompson, Sister Allred, and Sister Beck.
Since learning that I would be with you today, I have thought about the many women who have shaped my life: my wonderful wife, Harriet; my mother; my mother-in-law; my sister; my daughter; my daughter-in-law; and many friends. All my life I have been surrounded by women who inspired, taught, and encouraged me. I am who I am today in large part because of these singular women. Each time I meet with the sisters of the Church, I sense that I am in the midst of similar remarkable souls. I am grateful to be here, grateful for your talents, compassion, and service. Most of all, I am grateful for who you are: treasured daughters of our Heavenly Father with infinite worth.
I’m sure it comes as no surprise, but the differences between men and women can often be quite striking—physically and mentally, as well as emotionally. One of the best ways I can think of to illustrate this is in the way my wife and I cook a meal.
When Harriet prepares a meal, it’s a masterpiece. Her cuisine is as wide-ranging as the world, and she frequently prepares dishes from countries we have visited. The presentation of the food is awe inspiring. In fact, it often looks so beautiful that it seems a crime to eat it. It’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the sense of taste.
But sure enough, no matter how perfect everything is, looks, and tastes, Harriet will apologize for something she thinks is imperfect. “I’m afraid I used a touch too much ginger,” she will say, or, “Next time, I think it would be better if I used a little more curry and one additional bay leaf.”
Let me contrast that with the way I cook. For the purpose of this talk, I asked Harriet to tell me what I cook best.
Her answer: fried eggs.
Sunny-side up.
But that isn’t all. I have a specialty dish called Knusperchen. The name may sound like a delicacy you might find at an exclusive restaurant. Let me share with you how to make it. You cut French bread into small slices and toast them twice.
That is the recipe!
So, between fried eggs, even when they are greasy, and Knusperchen, even when they are burned, when I cook, I feel pretty heroic.
Perhaps this contrast between my wife and me is a slight exaggeration, but it illustrates something that may extend beyond preparing meals.
To me it appears that our splendid sisters sometimes undervalue their abilities—they focus on what is lacking or imperfect rather than what has been accomplished and who they really are.
Perhaps you recognize this trait in someone you know really well.
The good news is that this also points to an admirable quality: the innate desire to please the Lord to the best of your ability. Unfortunately, it can also lead to frustration, exhaustion, and unhappiness.
To All Who Are Weary
Today I would like to speak to those who have ever felt inadequate, discouraged, or weary—in short, I would like to speak to all of us.
I also pray that the Holy Ghost will amplify my words and bestow upon them additional meaning, insight, and inspiration.
We know that sometimes it can be difficult to keep our heads above water. In fact, in our world of change, challenges, and checklists, sometimes it can seem nearly impossible to avoid feeling overwhelmed by emotions of suffering and sorrow.
I am not suggesting that we can simply flip a switch and stop the negative feelings that distress us. This isn’t a pep talk or an attempt to encourage those sinking in quicksand to imagine instead they are relaxing on a beach. I recognize that in all of our lives there are real concerns. I know there are hearts here today that harbor deep sorrows. Others wrestle with fears that trouble the soul. For some, loneliness is their secret trial.
These things are not insignificant.
However, I would like to speak about two principles that may help you find a path to peace, hope, and joy—even during times of trial and distress. I want to speak about God’s happiness and how each one of us can taste of it in spite of the burdens that beset us.
God’s Happiness
Let me first pose a question: What do you suppose is the greatest kind of happiness possible? For me, the answer to this question is, God’s happiness.
This leads to another question: What is our Heavenly Father’s happiness?
This may be impossible to answer because His ways are not our ways. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are [God’s] ways higher than [our] ways, and [His] thoughts [higher] than [our] thoughts.”
Though we cannot understand “the meaning of all things,” we do “know that [God] loveth his children” because He has said, “Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”
Heavenly Father is able to accomplish these two great goals—the immortality and eternal life of man—because He is a God of creation and compassion. Creating and being compassionate are two objectives that contribute to our Heavenly Father’s perfect happiness. Creating and being compassionate are two activities that we as His spirit children can and should emulate.
The Work of Creation
The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty.
Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty—and I am not talking about the process of cleaning the rooms of your teenage children.
You might say, “I’m not the creative type. When I sing, I’m always half a tone above or below the note. I cannot draw a line without a ruler. And the only practical use for my homemade bread is as a paperweight or as a doorstop.”
If that is how you feel, think again, and remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe. Isn’t it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God? Think about it—your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with a beauty, function, and capacity beyond imagination.
But to what end were we created? We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy. Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things.
If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next.
You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.
What you create doesn’t have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned? Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside.
If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it.
Nearly a century and a half ago, President Brigham Young spoke to the Saints of his day. “There is a great work for the Saints to do,” he said. “Progress, and improve upon and make beautiful everything around you. Cultivate the earth, and cultivate your minds. Build cities, adorn your habitations, make gardens, orchards, and vineyards, and render the earth so pleasant that when you look upon your labors you may do so with pleasure, and that angels may delight to come and visit your beautiful locations. In the mean time continually seek to adorn your minds with all the graces of the Spirit of Christ.”
The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create. That is your opportunity in this life and your destiny in the life to come. Sisters, trust and rely on the Spirit. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.
Being Compassionate
Being compassionate is another great work of our Heavenly Father and a fundamental characteristic of who we are as a people. We are commanded to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.” Disciples of Christ throughout all ages of the world have been distinguished by their compassion. Those who follow the Savior “mourn with those that mourn … and comfort those that stand in need of comfort.”
When we reach out to bless the lives of others, our lives are blessed as well. Service and sacrifice open the windows of heaven, allowing choice blessings to descend upon us. Surely our beloved Heavenly Father smiles upon those who care for the least of His children.
As we lift others, we rise a little higher ourselves. President Spencer W. Kimball taught, “The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley believed in the healing power of ser-vice. After the death of his wife, he provided a great example to the Church in the way he immersed himself in work and in serving others. It is told that President Hinckley remarked to one woman who had recently lost her husband, “Work will cure your grief. Serve others.”
These are profound words. As we lose ourselves in the service of others, we discover our own lives and our own happiness.
President Lorenzo Snow expressed a similar thought: “When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated.”
In today’s world of pop psychology, junk TV, and feel-good self-help manuals, this advice may seem counterintuitive. We are sometimes told that the answer to our ills is to look inward, to indulge ourselves, to spend first and pay later, and to satisfy our own desires even at the expense of those around us. While there are times when it is prudent to look first to our own needs, in the long run it doesn’t lead to lasting happiness.
An Instrument in the Hands of the Lord
I believe that the women of the Church, regardless of age or family status, understand and apply best the words of James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan: “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” Often I have witnessed quiet acts of kindness and compassion by noble women who extended themselves in unselfish charity. My heart swells when I hear stories of the sisters of the Church and how they rush to the aid of those in need.
There are those in the Church—both men and women—who wonder how they can contribute to the kingdom. Sometimes women who are single, divorced, or widowed wonder if there is a place for them. Every sister in the Church is of critical importance—not only to our Heavenly Father but also to the building of the kingdom of God as well. There is a great work to do.
One year ago in this meeting, President Monson taught that “you are … surrounded by opportunities for service. … Often small acts of service are all that is required to lift and bless another.” Look around you. There at sacrament meeting is a young mother with several children—offer to sit with her and help. There in your neighborhood is a young man who seems discouraged—tell him you enjoy being in his presence, that you feel his goodness. True words of encouragement require only a loving and caring heart but may have an eternal impact on the life of those around you.
You wonderful sisters render compassionate service to others for reasons that supersede desires for personal benefits. In this you emulate the Savior, who, though a king, did not seek position, nor was He concerned about whether others noticed Him. He did not bother to compete with others. His thoughts were always tuned to help others. He taught, healed, conversed, and listened to others. He knew that greatness had little to do with outward signs of prosperity or position. He taught and lived by this doctrine: “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers.
Conclusion
My dear sisters, I have a simple faith. I believe that as you are faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments of God, as you draw closer to Him in faith, hope, and charity, things will work together for your good. I believe that as you immerse yourselves in the work of our Father—as you create beauty and as you are compassionate to others—God will encircle you in the arms of His love. Discouragement, inadequacy, and weariness will give way to a life of meaning, grace, and fulfillment.
As spirit daughters of our Heavenly Father, happiness is your heritage.
You are choice daughters of our Heavenly Father, and through the things you create and by your compassionate service, you are a great power for good. You will make the world a better place. Lift up your chin; walk tall. God loves you. We love and admire you.
Of this I testify, and leave you my blessing as an Apostle of the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Last couple week!!

2008-11-06T15:19:00.001-08:00

Well... I haven't been very good at keeping this updated. So here is what has been going on the last couple weeks. PS- I still have more pictures to post. I'm just waiting for my mom to send them to me.

First off I turned the big 23... WOW huh?? :) November is a crazy birthday month. My mom's is the 2nd, mine is the 3rd and my crazy sister in law that I love to death is the 4th. I will post more pictures of birthday fun later.

Look at the big belly!! Really it keeps growing more and more each week. It is crazy!!!

Of course Halloween!! We went with Ashley, Matt, Mindy and Paul. It was a fun night!! I just went as a fat girl.... lol

We also, had Britt's wedding!! She looked beautiful... and had a crazy fun cake. We are so happy for you Britt. Hope the honeymoon was fun!!

The girls at Britt's wedding!! What a fun night.

The end for now!! I will get more posted. PS- Kenny and I made up our minds. We are going to spell our little girls name like so... Paisyn. Thanks for everyone who put their say in. We just figure it isn't a common name and she will need to spell it to people anyways. Also, we have asked people (that don't know what we are naming her) how they would say it. They all said it right, so I would much rather go with a girly spelling.

HELP!!!

2008-10-29T09:08:00.000-07:00

So Kenny and I are down to two ways that we want to spell our little girls name. We just can't make up our minds. PLEASE HELP!! We like Paysen, but I think that Paisyn is more girly... What do you think?

2 YEARS!!

2008-10-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

I thought this was a great time for this tag… Thanks Joni!! Kenny and I just had our 2 year anniversary. It was amazing. He took me to Park City for the weekend. I have been so blessed. Kenny is amazing… He still has a way of taken my breath away. I love you with all my heart babe. I thought to go along with this tag I would post some pictures of our time together. So enjoy and sorry for such a long post.

2. How long did you date before you got married? A year…

3. How long have you been married? 2 years… Our anniversary was this last Sunday.

4. What does he do that surprises you? He always has a way to surprise me. It usually is when I have had a down day. I will come home to the house all cleaned and dinner on the table.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His arms and man boobs (pecks) they are bigger then mine. :)

6. What is your favorite quality of his? I know that Kenny will never get us into financial problems. He is such a saver. Which I always make fun of because he watches ever penny I spend, but I’m glad he is that way. I would rather have money saved then spend it on dumb things.

7. Does he have a nickname for you? Yes… Dear, Honey, Babe, Messica, and Messy.

8. What is his favorite color? Ummm… I would say red. He always has a wristband to match all of his clothes. Lately he has only been wearing the red one.

9. What is his favorite food? Any kind of hamburger…

It was so hard… I missed him so much. It was only the weekend, but still that is a long time. When he got back he came to my house. We were watching a movie and we had this game thing. I would say I and then he would say Love then I would say to be and he would say with you… Well this time he said I then I said Love and he said you… I knew I loved him, but it still scared me. I didn’t say anything back. My heart was rushing… So I said I… he said love and I said you. He looked at me and said I love you too. It was so cute!!

17. Whats his favorite type of music? LOL… this is hard. He listens to everything from Country to Rap.

18. What do you admire most about him? I have to say, his hard work. Kenny is such a hard worker. I know he will be successful at anything he does. Also, his love for his family.

~MANY BLESSINGS~

2008-09-06T08:49:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking a lot the last couple of days at how blessed I am. I wanted to share with all my loved ones.

I have been blessed with my incredible husband that has been there for me through everything. I keep putting more and more on him and he still loves me for me. The last couple months my emotions have been on fire. Kenny has been there for me and I don't know how he does it. I really don't know where I would be without him in my life. He is my little missionary. For those who don't know I was never active in the church. When I met Kenny I was like he won't like me I'm to crazy for him :) In fact I raced home one night from work cause he was coming over to my house. I had a dress on and I didn’t want him to see my tattoo on my foot. I told him to keep driving around until I called him. He was like why. I’m just going to go wait with your family. When I got there he was like what was your deal. I told him the story… He laughed at me and said I already saw it like two weeks ago. It was pretty funny!! I met Kenny in October of 05 and didn’t hang out with him again until November. Kenny was just my friend in the beginning. We hung out everyday except Sunday he would go to church. I think Kenny handled this very well by setting an example for me. By December I was ready for it to be more. I went to church with him for the first time in January of 06. He has stuck by my side and explained the gospel to me ever since then. Kenny continues to explain things to me just like my personal missionary. Kenny is a huge blessing in my life and I truly can say I couldn’t live without him. I love you with all my heart babe...

Our new baby... This was a surprise, but a blessing as well. I have had problems in the past with my female stuff :) and had to have surgery in November of 05 (I only remember this cause Kenny was there for me) when Kenny and I were getting married I went into my doctor in Utah. One of my worries was when we are ready to have a baby I didn't want to have to wait. My doctor told me it could take me sometime to get pregnant and that I shouldn't get discouraged. Kenny and I both thought it would take at least 6 months to a year. We were planning on starting to try in October of this year. We wanted to be married two years before we started trying (also my husband has to plan everything) we thought maybe by next year we would be prego and ready for the baby. Well at the end of July... I was like I still haven't had my time of the month and I thought no it can't be a baby I have been on birth control. A couple weeks later I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive right away. I was like that can't be right... It didn't even think about it. I wanted to wait for the doctor to tell me, so that Friday we went to the doctor sure thing... there was a baby inside of me. This has been one of the scariest blessings in my life, but I'm so grateful and so happy I get to share this with my loving husband. It is amazing to look at your baby inside of you and have your husband sitting by your side. For those who haven’t had a baby yet. When you do… I suggest looking over at your husband when the baby comes on the screen. It is a bonding moment. Makes you fall in love with them all over again.

My mother.... She is my best friend. I will always look up to my mom. She is the most amazing mom I know. My mom was a single mom for 14 years. She didn't date very often and when she did us kids were still her number one priority. My mom has come a long ways in her life. We she left my real dad she had nothing besides me and my older brother. She went back to school and starting working. My mom never received child support and never complained at what she was handed in life. I never missed out on anything. My mom was able to support both my brother and I on her own. She had us in everything we wanted baseball, golf, softball, dance, tumbling, and cheerleading. My mom was able to make up for not having a dad around. Before my mom married my step-dad she asked both my brother and I if it was ok. My brother is 8 years older then me and was married himself already. She was really worried about me. I still lived with her and was in high school. The thing she didn't know is us kids would do anything for her to be happy. My mom continues to amaze me with all her hard work. She is an amazing mother as well as a wife. I hope I can be half the mom that she is

My step-dad or should I say dad. Roger has been a huge blessing in my life. He was able to show me the way a man should truly treat a woman. He has also showed me how a dad should really show his love for his kids and that not all men are bad at being a father. Roger has been more of a dad in my life then my real dad has in all of my 23 years. I love how he treats my mom. He loves her with all his heart and is an amazing husband, dad, and grandpa. He also, is a good friend. Very loyal...

Kenny's family... All of them have been there for us in different ways. They support us in everyway. I'm so grateful that I'm able to fit in with them and love them and they love me back. They are an amazing family. I'm blessed to have each and every one of them.

My best friend... Ashlee and I have been best friends since 1st grade. She has always been there for me. She is amazing!! I think she is the toughest person I know. I was really scared to tell her we were having a baby. I was happy, but scared at the same time. She is so amazing... when I told her she was right there by my side...well even if she is in Utah :) we still talk almost everyday. She sends me updates about the baby and is always concerned about what is going on. I truly don't know where I would be without her. Love ya Ash and I'm so proud of you.

I also have many more blessing... But it would take weeks to be able to write them all down. I love everyone that has come into my life. My family and friends are the most important things to me. Thanks for all your support. LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!

ANOTHER D-BACKS GAME

2008-08-31T19:02:00.001-07:00

We went to the D-BACKS game on Friday night. It was so much fun!!! They won LA it was a pretty crazy game. So many people in the crowed got escorted out by the police officers. I don't know what was going on, but it was pretty crazy. Me and Daye wanted to go walk over were the officers were. Anyways it was a fun night.

Daye and I. She is a doll. You would never believe she has had 3 kids. She looks amazing. I hope I look half as good as her after this baby.

IT IS TIME!!!

Yes it is true. We have been blessed with our first baby. It was a little surprise, but we are very grateful and very happy. I am 11 weeks. We go to the doctor for the 2nd time on Tuesday this week. It is amazing to see that little bean inside of you and crazy to think you can get prego on birth control. Hey our baby is ready to meet mommy and daddy. I have been extremely blessed and I haven't been to sick. I just get really sleepy. This week has been a lot better. I was able to get myself to the gym, which it makes me feel so much better to workout. . I will keep everyone updated and let you know how it is going. LOVE ALL YA!!

Big 28...

This is a little late... Kenny turned the big 28 on July 14th. We went to dinner at NYPD Pizza. It is some yummy pizza here in Arizona. I love it!! Kenny got some cool mustang stuff (for those of you who don't know him he loves his cars) We then went back to our house for some ice cream cake... I have to say I did a dang good job picking the cake out :) After cake. We had to play video games. Charlee was so funny!! She thought she was really playing. They turned her control off... She would get so happy and jump up and down. She was doing it messica... LOL!!

~UTAH TRIP~

2008-07-24T17:54:00.001-07:00

We went on a trip to Utah over th 4th of July... I wish we could have stayed longer, but I just got a new position and didn't dare to ask for more time off work. So we were only there for a short time. It was great to see our family and to see a few friends. I wish I could fit more friends in. It is just so hard... I guess that means you guys that I didn't see need to get your butts down to this blasted hot state...

I went to my old work :( My best friend Ashlee was hired on when I left and she is holding down the fork now. It was great to get to see everyone. I miss working for Smoot so bad.

We went to the parade on the 4th... it was great fun. I wish we would have gone up to Kaysville's they have a water parade that is awesome!! Oh well maybe next year right??

Goose and Crazy Kim... Love them both so much and miss them with all my heart.

I got to meet my new nephew Cole that was suppose to be born a couple days before we got there, but he wanted to come a month early. He is so little.... My brother and sister-in-law took Kenny's fav name for a little boy. We will have to think of a new one :)

Kenny and my grandma that I freaking love to death...

My crazy nephew... he is gettin to be so big. I can't get over it.

We had to make a trip up to the cabin in Bear Lake. It was lots of fun... I miss this so much :(

I freaking love this woman... I look up to her so much.

It was a great trip. Hope we will make it up for Christmas.

LOVE ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIEND IN UTAH!!!

I wasn't about to complain :) Just remember these pictures will never compare to what Brooke/Blush Photography can do... You should check her out if you haven't already. She is simply amazing!! I love all of her pictures that she takes. You can see everyone's personality in ever picture... So check her out!!

SICK...

2008-05-29T16:35:00.000-07:00

So I have been sick... I have never felt this way. My tummy hurt so so bad... I thought for sure that I needed to go to the ER. I woke up last night at 12 and didn't sleep the rest of the night, so this morning when it still hadn't gone away, Kenny told me that I needed to go the urgent care. So I did the web check-in. They called me like 40 minutes later. I drove myself there since Kenny's office is right across the street. I really never had such a pain in my life... I was thinking I was going to die... So I get to the urgent care and they take forever for me to get in the back room. Once I got back there, they gave me a preg test.... Which came back negative. Then the Dr. comes in and starts feeling my stomach she said she wanted to give me this drink thing to see if it helps... so she lives the room and I go to sit up. Well let’s just say my tummy didn't feel good at all. I looked at Kenny and said I need to vomit.... So he rushes me over to the garbage. I kept saying I feel so bad... I knew someone was going to need to take it out. When the Dr. came back in Kenny told her. She told me to wait a little longer to take the drink... She wanted to make sure I could hold it down. So.... I took it; it was so freaking nasty... But I did it!!! My pain started to go away. The Dr. came in and said... Sounds like you have Acute Gastritis Wohemorrhage (guess it is stomach flu) or something. So she wanted me to stay a little longer to make sure I was ok. When she came back in to give me my meds.... I was way loopy. I felt drunk!! Kenny asked her if it was normal for me to feel that way. She said some people get that way. Guess I'm a light weight :) So Kenny ended up leaving one of our cars, cause I couldn’t even walk.

This has been my day... It has freaking sucked, but I'm glad I'm feeling a little better. I’m also grateful for a loving husband that goes out of his way for me. Thanks for all you do for me babe!!

PS- the Dr. said something way funny. She said if I was FAT she would worry more, that it could be my gallbladder. LOL what Dr. uses that term?? Usually they say over weight. Pretty funny!!!

Family in town...

2008-05-27T15:29:00.000-07:00
