Mini vacation to Vegas

2009-06-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

So Ian and I wanted to take a vacation before the new baby arrives. It was my first time away from Jade. My sister Lynsey watched her for us. We went for 3 days and 3 nights. It was fun! Don't worry, we didn't gamble. :)

So we went to the Tulip Festival. It was so gorgeous. We had a good time. It made for some good picture taking and Jade loved running around.

Prego news

2009-05-02T12:14:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged, haven't been feeling to well. I am missing out on documenting Jade growing so I figured I'd better get back to it. I am now pregnant, 3 months. Not planned, actually on birth control. I guess the Lord had a differnt plan for us. I have gained 10 lbs since we moved to Utah and was trying to loose it before I got pregnant. No more dieting which makes me sad but what can I do.

New Year's Eve 2008

2009-01-04T08:23:00.000-08:00

For New Year's my sweet neighbor watched Jade because her husband works graveyard and she was going to be home alone. She played with Jade and her 2 year old son for an hour and then Jade went to bed there until 1am when we picked her up. First we met Lynsey and Tj at PF Chang's for dinner. It was fun and great food. Then they had to go home because their babysitter had to leave. Then Ian and I went to check out "The First Night" at Provo Town Center, the mall. It was an indoor party, with face painting, carnaval games and food, dances, kareoke, and live bands. We walked around the whole mall looking at everything. It was lame and we didn't stay. It would have been really fun if we had elementary age children. So then we drove around for an hour and a half looking for a dance. All I really wanted to do was to dance. The only thing we could find was the UVU dance which gets pretty dirty so we didn't want to go to that. So we went to a little party with some of our new friends and stayed for about an hour before we had to go get Jade.

Jade's best friend, Pooh Bear

2009-01-04T08:20:00.000-08:00

I was doing a load of laundry and washing pooh bear. Jade found the washer door open a crack and got inside. I found her hugging her wet Pooh Bear while it was still in the washer. So cute!

Sunday night Jade and I went over to Ian's parents house so they could spend some time with their grand daughter. They didn't get much time with her on Christmas cause she was sick. This is Joanie, Ian's mom, reading with Jade. Ian had already gone back to Utah to go back to work.

wrapping paper dresses

2009-01-04T08:13:00.000-08:00

So I went upstairs and found my 2 nieces, both 3 years old, making a mess in grandma's room. They found the wrapping paper and unrolled it all and wrinkled it so bad that it couldn't be used. So Lynsey and I made dresses and bows out of the wrapping paper for them and went and showed everyone. It was so cute.

Our Christmas trip

2009-01-03T16:34:00.000-08:00

So this year was our turn to spend Christmas with my family. All my sisters and their families were actually able to travel home to Albuquerque except for me. My brother already lives there. So my parents flew Ian, Jade, and I home. Such a huge blessing. We flew home on Christmas Eve and arrived at 2 in the afternoon. We had our tradition of eating pizza by candle light on Christmas Eve. We also did the traditions of my mom reading a Christmas story to all 25 of us and each person got to open one gift. I love traditions, it makes me feel like home and that I belong. Christmas Day we woke up and all the kids saw what Santa had brought them. Ian, Jade, and I exchanged our stockings. We opened our gifts to each other back in Utah cause we didn't have room to pack them. Then we showered and went to Ian's grandma's house where his parents were. We only got to stay for about a half an hour because Jade was sick and started to kind of freak out. We needed to take her home and put her to bed. Then we had Christmas dinner with my family. Later that night we did our other tradition of going to the church gym and playing basketball with everyone. I loved it! It was a great day being with all my family. The best part of Christmas was after the whole gift giving in the morning, our little family went and played on the stairs. We chased Jade up the stairs and she was laughing so hard. I was with the two most important people in my life and I kissed my sweet husband. It was such a special moment and that was what Christmas really means.

Jade's fire truck

2009-01-01T13:37:00.000-08:00

Jade got a fire truck for her birthday and she loves it.

2009-01-01T13:32:00.000-08:00

So I took Jade to the mall to take a picture with Santa Clause. I dressed her up in her Christmas dress. I tried to take some pictures but I just couldn't quite get one with her looking.

Crazy eyes!

2009-01-01T13:29:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas from crazy eyes! I wanted to put this picture in our Christmas card.

2009-01-01T13:20:00.000-08:00

I gave my best friend from college, Lisa, a baby shower in December. I had a lot of fun doing it. She lives in Salt Lake and so does her friends. I packed up the shower and set it up in her house in Salt lake in the snow.

Family pictures in the snow

2008-12-22T21:31:00.000-08:00

We took family pictures out in the snow. Kyle Payne took them for us. He is great if anyone needs pictures let me know and I will get you his info. Anywho, it was so cold and it was snowing while we were out there. We were only outside for 15 minutes or so. But the next day Jade got really sick. Turns out she has an ear infection and an upper respitory infection. It might have been from the cold. Seeing her be so sick is soooo amazingly sad. It breaks my heart! Hopefully she will be all better really soon. The pictures turned out really good though.

Out with my sisters in Arizona

2008-12-09T15:37:00.000-08:00

Jade and I went to Arizona this past weekend to vistit my sisters and their families. My sister Deidra had her birthday while I was there and we got to go out. My brother-in-law, Trevor, watched Jade so we could go out, just us sisters. We missed Lynsey and wished she was there with us. We had a good time. We went out to eat at Pita Jungle and then saw the movie "Twilight". It was a really good movie but the book was still better. Then we went to another restaurant to have chocolate cake they kept raving about. It was delicious but the chocolate cake at PF Changs and the Chocolate Lasagna at Olive Garden was still better. I had so much fun being with my sisters!

Jade's First Birthday!

2008-12-09T15:33:00.001-08:00

Jade got a water proof Winnie the Pooh to go in the bath tub. She loves it and thinks it's so fun to have 2 Winnie the Poohs.

Jade's First Birthday!

2008-12-09T15:23:00.001-08:00

Jade had her first birthday on November 24th, 2008. Ian actually had the day off so that was awsome getting to spend the whole day together. We went to the park and she walked around on the grass. We didn't stay very long because it was cold. Then in the afternoon, Lynsey, Tallie, and Chloe came over for her little party. Jade love Winnie the Pooh so we had a Winnie the Pooh theme. She had her first cake and was more interested in squeezing it in her hands then eating it. She liked it, had a few bites and then was done. She loved the party favors that you blow into and they make a noise. She also really loved her fire truck because it talks and sings and she figured out how to push the button herself. She also loved her shopping cart because it also sings and lights up! It was a good day. A little part of me was sad though because she isn't a baby anymore! She is growing so fast. I love spending all my time with her, it is flying by too quickly!

Dress up for Jade

2008-12-09T15:20:00.000-08:00

My aunt gave Jade a cloth diaper cover and so we played dress up in it and I put one of my necklaces on her.

2008-12-09T15:03:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't been doing a good job on the blog lately. Ian had his birthday on Nov. 17 and he turned 25. We took an ice cream cake to Lynsey's house and ate it there the night before his birthday. Then Lynsey watched Jade over night for us. We went to Park City and stayed in a condo. Park city was totally dead and we couldn't even find a restaurant to eat in. We found a grocery store and bought some food to take back to the condo and watched a movie. Then the next day we went to the Park City outlets and then drove to Salt Lake. We had lunch and then toured the Behive house (Brigham Young's house). Then we went to see the movie Joseph at the Joseph Smith Memorial Builing. It was such a great movie. I cried a ton, parts of it were really sad. Then we walked around Temple Square and went into the Tabernacle. Then we ate at PF Changs for dinner. Way good food and we got the best Chocolate cake ever there. Then we missed Jade so much we drove back to get her. We had fun and it was really nice to have a little mini get away with just Ian. I think he had a good birthday! I forgot to take my camera to take pictures, bummer!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-08T16:42:00.000-08:00

For Halloween this year I dressed up as Winnie the Pooh and Jade was my Honey Pot. We went trick or treating in Springville with my sister and her girls. Ian had to work so he couldn't come and we really missed him. Don't worry, I will have him dress up in the Pooh costume and post some pictures!

Longboarding Provo Canyon

2008-10-28T10:02:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Ian's day off so we went to Provo Canyon again and tood turns longboarding and pushing the stroller. It was so beautiful, I could go everyday!

Park and dinner

2008-10-26T22:05:00.000-07:00

Today we had Lynsey, Tj, Tallie, and Chloe over. We went on a walk trading off pushing strollers and riding long boards and then played at the park. Tj and Ian even pushed strollers while long boarding. Then we all had dinner at our apartment. We made a roast for the first time and it turned out great. Then Kyle, Megan, and their daughter, Hallie came over and all the adults played a way fun game called Quelf. I think everyone should own this game, pretty much one of the funniest games ever! We had peach crisp while all the kids ran crazy. It was a really good night!

Our sweetheart!

2008-10-26T22:00:00.000-07:00

Just a couple pictures of Jade outside our new apartment, playing peak a boo under the chair, and trying on her lamb halloween costume.

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-20T20:42:00.000-07:00

Today, October 20, 2008, we went to the pumpkin patch in Springville, Ut. We went with my sister Lynsey, her husband, TJ, and their girls, Tallie, and Chloe. It was cute to see the girls picking out their pumpkins and to see Jade with them.

Bridal Falls

2008-10-14T21:21:00.000-07:00

Today, October 13, 2008, we went to Bridal Falls in Provo Canyon. It was so pretty on the walk up there, with all the leaves changing colors. The falls were pretty too. It was way cold, and this is only the very beginning of winter, Yikes!

My mission companion and ward mission leader

2008-10-13T12:07:00.000-07:00

Sunday, October 12, 2008, I went to sacrament meeting Salt Lake. Just I went because the night before Jade had a really bad night and none of us got any sleep. Jade finally fell asleep at 3am and I didn't want to wake her up at 7:15 to go to Salt Lake. So Ian stayed home with her. I went because one of my best mission companions, Sara Anne (McDonald) Stout, her son was getting blessed. It is her second child, both boys. It was fun to see her and her new baby, well her whole family. Also Johnny Newcomb was in town from Greece, New York. He was my ward mission leader in the singles branch where Sara Anne and I served in Brighton for nine months. It was good to see him, awe mission memories!:)

Brandon Moore's wedding reception

2008-10-13T12:02:00.000-07:00

Friday we went to Brandon Moore's wedding reception in Salt Lake. He was Ian's MTC companion. Ladd and Katie were there also. We went to Ladd's house after and hung out for a bit. Ian trained Ladd on his mission and they very good friends.

update on the last few weeks Sept.26, - Oct 13

2008-10-13T11:48:00.000-07:00

Late Friday night, Sept. 26th, Ian's grandma flew Ian home to help clean our old apartment and drive with Jade and I to Utah. I was sooooo happy to see him. He moved up there 3 weeks earlier to start traing in his new job with Verizon Wireless. Jade and I really missed him. That was the longest time we have ever been apart and I hope it never happens again.
My parents drove their truck and huge trailor packed with all our stuff and Ian and I drove in my car with Jade. Jade did amazing on the trip. We drove half way Sat night and the rest of the way Sunday. I was glad my parents were there so we could spend some time with them. I will miss them a lot! We got to our new place and it was a mess. The former tennants did a bad job cleaning or they didn't clean at all. So we had to deep clean everything before we moved in. My mom stayed for a couple of days and helped me unpack the big things and finish cleaning. That was really nice of her. Then a few days after she left my sister Jodi flew in for the weekend and stayed with us. We had a lot of fun, and it was good to see her. It was also Conference weekend and it was really good. So now, Sept. 13, I am finally finishing the last of the unpacking and decorating. I can't wait to be all done so we can just enjoy our new life in Utah. It has been a lot of fun living by Lynsey again. Jade also loves playing with her cousins and now she gets to do it often.

Sept. 27, 2008 - Jade's first taste of chocolate!

2008-10-13T11:38:00.000-07:00

Ian gave Jade his empty chocolate wrapper to play with and there was a little melted chocolate still on it. She tasted that and went crazy licking it. She couldn't get enough and loved it. I was trying to keep it away from here for as long as I could. No need for her to start early and become obsessed with it like her mom is! I must admit, she looked so cute with it all over her face!

Dinner with Ian's parents and grandma at Black Angus

2008-10-13T11:25:00.000-07:00

Packing and Painting :(

2008-09-14T20:28:00.000-07:00

So I am trying to pack up our apartment. I really miss Ian. I am way excited to get to Utah already. As I've been packing, it's getting a little sad. I have put off packing Jade's room. I painted it 2 weeks before she was born and I love how bright and happy I feel when I am in her room. Jade really likes to play in there too. So I took pictures so Jade would later know what her first bedroom looked like. I have to pack it up tomorrow and paint it back white. :(

Our Little Family!

2008-09-06T20:18:00.000-07:00

We have a nine month old daughter named Jade and she is the cutest thing ever. She makes us laugh and makes us so grateful for life everyday. We, Ian and I, have been married for 3 1/2 years and I couldn't be happier. I married my best friend! We are in the process of moving to Provo, Ut. Ian moved there Sept. 5th and Jade and I will move there Sept. 26. I am staying in Albuquerque to finish seeing a doctor who can hopefully help my headaches. We are so excited for our new adventure. Ian got a good job with Verizon there that is why we are moving. I am stoked because I will get to live by Lynsey, my little sister, who I am very close to. We will miss living by both of our parents and my little brother Cody. Jade won't get to spend time with her grandparents like she does so much here in Albuquerque. That makes me sad!
Ian and I love to do everything together. We both really love snowboarding. We are so excited for the awsome boarding in Utah! Ian is a big reader and loves to play golf. I love wakeboarding, but I hardly ever get to do it. I love running and would love to pick up rock climbing one day. Jade loves to crawl everywhere and stand up on any surface. She gets into everything. She is so fun, I love being a mom so much!
