The Kids

2011-06-22T09:48:00.001-07:00

Im so far behind on posting but here is a little update for now...

Okay so Jalee is now 4 months old and getting close to 5

she weighs 15 lbs and is in the 85 %

she is 23.25 inches which puts her in the 10%

the doctor called her a bowling ball

She is starting to like briten she actually smiles at him and watches his every move she seems way less annoyed by him

She sits up almost on her own the Doc said she was really strong for her age.

She Laughs

She eats Rice Cereal

Shes Cute

Shes Fun

She got her ears peirced

She still sleeps good

She travels good

We lover her to peices we think she is the CUTEST BEST Baby in the Whole WORLD!

As for Briten

He is always Happy

He constantly makes us laugh

He still LOVES tractors, Tags and His BB (Binki)

He loves to rope and Yeehaa (Ride Horses)

He Never Stops, he puts the energizer bunny to shame

He doesnt seem to be to close to being potty trained :(

He is so Handsome

He is really sweet

He LOVES Jalee

He is the Best most Cutest Toddler in the whole World!

We love our children more than words can tell, we are so blessed.

More funny word that Briten says... Cop Car = Pop Tart

Arruvru = I love you

3 Months

2011-05-18T10:18:00.000-07:00

This is my attempt at Jalees 3 month pics by me. I plan on doing more today she didn't last to long yesterday!

Jalee is weighing in at around 13 lbs and i cant remember how tall she is i need to measure her at her 2 month check up she was in the 10th percentile for her head and height and in the 75th for her weight

She lights up when her Dad is near by and she sleeps at least 7 to 9 hours at night

she is the sweetest little thing we just love her

I keep thinking Briten is going to get sick of her but he hasn't he gives her probably upwards of 50 kisses a day and it drives her crazy he loves to hold her and lately he has been lifting his shirt telling me "Jalees wants to eat and I will do it" he want to feed her. she is trying to do sit ups so I think she will be sitting up before too long

Britens Birthday

2011-04-20T15:55:00.000-07:00

The Cake

too many kids in our little bounce house

Looking for Birthday eggs

Birthday Egg Hunt

Pin the tire on the tractor

The pinata

Friends

Baylee, Daxtyn, Howdy, Ky, Briten & Addie

This was the night of Britens actual Birthday when I got home from Bunko I layed them next to each other both dead asleep while I went to brush my teethe and when I got back they were both still out and holding hands (So Sweet)

This is the cake my mom got him for his actual Birthday Day!

This was his Birthday breakfast I made him

Jade had to work on his real Birthday so the night before we set his presents up in the garage and had cup cakes we gave him an all terrain trike, wheel barrow and little pitch fork, some tractors, a kite and some guns. he was pretty happy!

We love our little 2 year old even if he does act like one!

Arizona

2011-04-20T14:59:00.000-07:00

We took a little trip to AZ we were gone 10 days in the trailer we borrowed Shads trailer which was really nice I cooked lots of food before left and did quite a bit of cooking in the trailer it was a fun trip even though Jade got sicker than he has ever been before, we made a trip to urgent care but they said he just had the flu that kinda sucked it was a fun trip but it sure felt good to get home and stretch out.

We started our trip by going to the rodeo in laughlin then headed over to AZ so jade could practice with his partner but due to his illness didn't get to rope much. from there we went to logandale to the rodeo where the wind blew hard all day so me and Jalee stayed in the trailer almost the entire day, from there we headed to Pocatello with a stop off at my parents on the way then home from Pocatello!

Beaver

2011-04-20T14:42:00.000-07:00

March 24-27 we were able to go say at some friends condo at Eagle Mountain ski resort it was a fun little snow weekend, we didn't get to do as much skiing as we hoped but it was still fun being hunkered down in the condo with my family Bronx wasn't feeling good so Bronx and jaz didn't get to go :( Jade, Shad and Kaycee also did a little snowmobiling and got a little out of control they all came back with some funny stories and bruises to show us. Jalee had a little cough when we went and it got worse while we were there so Jade and I took her down to see a doctor in Beaver they tested her for RSV the test came back negative but the doctor still diagnosed her as having it she also had an ear infection so they put her on amoxacillin and told us to keep an eye on her breathing lucky for us and her she got over it really fast. It was a really fun little trip thanks to the Dentons for borrowing us their condo and thanks mom for planning it!

My Model!

1 Month

2011-03-11T12:22:00.001-08:00

Jalee Lew is doing great we still cant get enough of her esspecially Briten he practically smothers her its cute and annoying all at the same time. Im a few days late posting her 1st month but I really cant believe she has been here a month already she is weighing in at 8 lbs and has grown an inch she is now 19.5 inces, She is sleeping and eating great and hardly ever crys.

Briten is a wild man even with the constant ear infections he has he goes 100 mph nearly 24/7 we pretty much have to tie him up to go to bed. He is scheduled to get tubes in his ears on monday the 14th and I cant wait it breaks my heart knowing that his poor little ears are causing him pain all the time even though he is tough and doesnt seem to be bothered much by it. He is talking better and better still eats like a horse and keeps us laughing all the time. things he loves these days are tractors, jumping on the tramp, being outside, cartoons, and fish with his birthday i am going back and forth on the theme because he has so many favorite things so we will see!

anyways thats a little update on my wild man and my angel!

We are in LOVE with our little sister! She is such an angel Briten wants to hold her all the time its pretty cute but also exhausting!

She has been so easy so far labor was a piece of cake only 3 hours and 2.5 pushes

sleeps good at night (knock on wood)

great eater

the only hang up we have had was her Jaundice levels got high so we spent one night under lights in the Roosevelt hospital and a day and night in the lights at home but she did so well in them hardly fussed at all.

I Guess thats the jist of it for now all I can really say is

WE ARE IN LOVE

COULDNT FEEL MORE BLESSED!

Everyone tuckered out

His Words

2011-01-23T16:48:00.000-08:00

Briten is picking up new words constantly I think it is so cute and I am forgetting some already so I thought I would post some of the cute ones that I remember before I forget them, There are lots he says clear but I like the funny ones!

Shish = Fish

Dat Way = That Way

Bein Bee = Binky

Watch Dis

Kratder = Tractor

Who dat was = Who was that (when we get off the phone)

Whos dat is = Whos is that

Nat Nee = Nasty

I know there are more funny ones I am forgetting so maybe I will add them as he says them.

And hopefully my next post will be Anderson family, +1 beautiful baby girl!

We are getting so excited!

Snow X

2011-01-09T15:54:00.000-08:00

Last night Kaycee got us tickets in a suite at the Snow Cross at Rio Tinto Stadium it was cool, a little boring since it was basically the same thing over and over but it did get a little exciting when they would wreck.

Briten thought it was pretty cool he especially liked watching the snow cat regroom the track.

Kaycee got to spend the whole day there with this guy that he is presenting the award to and his team, because Kaycee's guy won he had to go down and present the award and be interviewed a little about rodeo and his love for snowmobiling.

they gave him the VIP treatment.

Christmas 2010

2011-01-02T18:33:00.000-08:00

We spent Christmas in Annabella with Jades family this year and Santa found us and this is what he left!

Christmas Eve we watched movies and let Briten open 2 presents the good ole Christmasjammies and a truck and trailer toy. Then after Briten finally went to sleep Santa came. I woke up first at 6 AM and I couldn't get the boys up until 8 I guess Jade wasn't as excited as I was and Briten was in a coma I could NOT wake him.

It was really fun to watch Briten open presents this year he made sure all the paper was off then he would take the gift to Jade and wait patiently for him to open it.

Kaycee gave Briten some tools and I dare say they are his favorite toy!

We had a great Christmas and feel so blessed for all we have, we are getting excited to meet baby girl she is going to be here so soon and we cant wait, I have a feeling 2011 is also going to be a great year!

Today!!!

2010-12-21T14:31:00.000-08:00

Halloween!!

2010-11-03T12:46:00.000-07:00

We had a busy and fun Halloween we started out by waking up early to go to Payson to have family pictures taken and have Birthday lunch with my Dad we then headed back home to make it in time for the ward trunk or treat that was held right in front of our house. We made it just in time to decorate our tailgate and throw Britens costume on him and head out for soup, rolls & trunk or treating.

Briten was such a cute Dragon even if he wasnt really a fan of being dressed up and once people started giving him candy he was happy as a horse!

Fire!

Me and Jade took a mini vacation to Denver to watch the Colts play we left Briten home it was the first time I had spent the night without him it was nice, but I couldn't wait to get home and see him. We may look like broncos fans but we were there cheering on the Colts! We had great seats and other than it being really hot we had a ton of fun!

Fun Times!

R.I.P

2010-08-18T09:15:00.001-07:00

This is our beloved horse Yeller that Jade raised he has been our favorite horse we love him like a member of the family, Jade has competed on him for the last 9 years they made a great team.

a few weeks ago Yeller had a heart attack and died. Luckily Jade wasn't using him because he is a heel horse and Jade has been Heading this year. Jade had just bought a new head horse 1 week before Yeller died so I think that made it a little easier when he died. Not to worry bad luck once strikes again, last week we were at the rodeo in Logan and Jades new horse that he just bought coliced and died. Although we had no emotional attachment to this horse it was still a tramatic experience for us we tried all through the night to keep him alive but he kept getting worse so we had to put him down, we didn't even own him long enough to get a picture. grrr for bad luck!

(we have lots of pictures of yeller but these were the only ones on my computer)

they're not my favorite

Jade entered one rodeo (Vernal) heeling this year on Yeller and Won it and it is one of the biggest rodeos in Utah so Jade was happy to get one good last memory!

I Love my Boys!!!

2010-07-08T14:28:00.000-07:00

For our Anniversary this year I told Jade he had to plan it so I figured we wouldn't do any thing or I would plan for us to go to Park City just like the past 4 years. But he actually had a fun plan he rented us a little cabin in Flaming Gorge it was so fun I would recommend it for any family!

We fished, had a fire, had smores, and toured around the area.

the only down fall was there were no TVs I had our travel TV but the only movies we had were Barney. but we survived without TV and had a blast!

Our cute little Cabin!

Our cute little boy! Briten was in Heaven the second we got there!

The cute little dock at the private lake that our cabin was on!

Outside the restaurant they had these bird and chipmunk feeders Briten LOVED to watch the animals!

We didn't fish a ton but what we did we didn't even get a bite!

The Red Canyon Lodge had a little shed full of chopped fire wood that you can just help yourself to each cabin has a fire pit outside and a wood stove inside.

We had a busy exhausting forth of July weekend lots of rodeos and late night drives so on the 4th we didn't do anything we were so lazy! But on the 5th we decided to pack a picnic and load up the four wheeler and go on the mountain.

We found this cool cave that Jade went through me and Briten didn't go because you had to cross a river on a tiny log.

We were still worn out from the weekend so we caught a little shut eye!

Briten LOVE LOVE LOVES the outdoors and I cant blame him.

I had such a fun time with my boys I feel so blessed to call them mine!

Its been awhile!

2010-06-23T07:35:00.000-07:00

I have been horrible at taking pics lately so here are a few from the last couple of months!

we play in the back yard allot! (he always gets wet that is why he never has clothes on)

Back yard fun!

Swimmin Jazlyn Grandparents have a pool less than a mile away from our house so we have been swimming quite a bit!

Briten carried around this baked potato at the rodeo eating it like it was the best snack ever (Weirdo)

Every time we go to my mom and dads they get in the hot tub!

Lagoon!

Traveling to Rodeos Briten likes to rest his foot on my seat while he watches movies!

Lagoon!

Dinner in the backyard!

I love dippin Oreos in milk so does Briten, this was his first time although he gets this messy every time!

good thing his big ole belly shadows his man hood!

workin in the back yard!

I told you we spend allot of time in the Backyard!

Boring post sorry!

Jazz Game

2010-05-10T16:43:00.000-07:00

Saturday night we were invited by the Richard family to join them in there suite at the game. It was super fun!! And I'm pretty sure I had the cutest Jazz fan there!

Britens Birthday!!!

2010-04-14T14:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Britens 1st Birthday!!

but we celebrated on Sunday we had a fun fun party Briten was a little grumpy for 1 thing he started getting teethe finally and for another he missed a few naps with all the excitement but it was still a great party. Thanks all who helped celebrate!

Me and Jade gave him a slide and a wheeler and he loves them both!

which makes me very happy because I wasn't sure what to get him.

He also got spoiled by all his friends and pretty much plays with everything he got!

He was pretty sugared out and tired by cake time because we had doughnuts for breakfast and I let him have his very, own plus all the Grandmas and Aunts & Uncles sneaking treats but he still loved it.

This is his cake (I didn't make it)

and cookie pops that I wish I had made.

He looks really mean in this picture but hes not.

Jade being a big helper getting the decor up!

I'm not even going to try to express the amount of love we have for Briten because I know it isn't possible to even to justice to what is in my heart. I will just say this last year has been the best yet, by far!!!!!

Comb Wash

2010-03-29T18:47:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went camping down to Comb Wash. It is down near Blanding I have been going camping there ever since I was little, but I hadn't been for a long time it is my FAVORITE place to camp. There are Indian ruins everywhere and we ride our horses to some that not very many people have been to, we didn't go to those ones this time because it is just to long of a ride for the little kids but there is broken pieces of pottery all over and arrowheads if your lucky. Briten was such a trooper we went on a 4.5 hour horse ride and he didn't even fuss once he did so good! enjoy some pictures from our trip.

Fun Times

2010-03-21T17:03:00.001-07:00

This weekend we went to a rodeo in Ogden Jade was up Friday night and Saturday morning so we unwinterized the trailer so we could stay in it. We love to stay in the trailer so that was fun then on Saturday we decided to stop at the Zoo on our way home it was so fun the animals were all out I think we saw everything. Briten loved the animals there were a few times we would walk away and he pointed and kinda fussed until we went back and let him see them a little longer.

It was Jades 26th Birthday I had fun plans but they got ruined by his city league basket ball tournament. (I was really pissed).

Jade got lots of presents

his parents went in on a smoker with me and Briten

Briten got him a new summer outfit & a hunting knife

and I got him some more clothes

my parents gave him money to get a massage which we didn't get because of b-ball

all in all it was a great Birthday!!

Disney on Ice

Me, Briten, Amanda, Addie, Ky, Lotti, Cotter & Rhenn all went to see Disney on Ice it was super fun! I wore really uncomfortable boots and ended up walking around SLC in my socks other than that idiotic move by me we had a blast. Briten didn't blink the first 20 minuets he was so into the Cars it was really cute and all the other kids didn't hardly wiggle they LOVED IT!

Pictures!!!

Catch Up

2010-02-23T22:01:00.001-08:00

This is Jory and us I dont have a picture of Britney I wish I did because 1. she gorgeous & 2. she was more than 8.5 months preggers and such a trooper!

A while back we were invited with our friends Britney & Jory to go to there family ranch in Colorado, the ranch was absolutely gorgeous! And it was so nice to get out of Roosy Town, they own an elk ranch and it was the annual take inventory on the Elk weekend so Jade and Jory got to get in and get their hands dirty, the elk needed wormer and ear tags and some other things but anyways it was really neat to get that up close and personal with the elk. Thanks guys it was way fun!!!

And we girls got in on the fun too when we went snowmobiling

This is our new dog Chip possibly soon our old dog Chip lets just say we arent the best dog people! give us 100 babies someone else deal with the puppys.

My bestest old friend Emily came out to stay with her little guy Milo it was so fun we stayed up until like 2 AM (who knows what we talked about & dont worry we didnt keep the babies up that late we put them to bed at like 1). While they were here we went to Jazlyns Grandparents to go swimming but the pool that is normally to hot to swim in was freezing. We also went to the Dino. museum and I have to say for Vernal I was quite impressed.

And in January it was my turn to host Bunko it was so fun the theme was "The Boiling Pot" we had a pot fulling of boiling hot shrimp and sat in the boiling hot tub and for desert we fried twinkies in boiling hot oil!

Oh I Forgot

2010-01-18T18:59:00.000-08:00

Briten also started clapping his hands it is really cute, and he does it allot when he is in his high chair I think it is because the little fatso loves to eat!

More of my little man

2010-01-18T16:47:00.000-08:00

Since my last post Briten has gotten his first haircut, lets go of the furniture and walks until he realizes he can get where he is going much faster if he just crawls, and he still destroys my house every single day I'm not sure if it is possible to be any more busy than him. He loves his daddy and being outside he sits in front of the door wishing it was spring so I would let him out. He will NOT drink milk or formula I thought I had him weaned until he changed his mind he will drink a bottle just not if it has milk or formula in it. (little terd) and he still had no sign of teethe. As for me and Jade we are still in heaven we CANNOT believe in only 3 short months he will be 1 it is seriously blowing our minds.

This is Jade hard at work he did a good job it was just a little shorter than i hoped but it is growing!

The Tornado in action

Briten loves brushing his tootheless gums while i get ready and While Jade gets him ready for bed!

December

2009-12-30T10:21:00.000-08:00

This is a really scrambled post.

Let me start with Briten the tiny Tornado that hits my house daily...

He is so dang cute.

We love him more than anything.

He is standing all on his own, but has yet to take those first steps.

He goes all over holding on to furniture.

Says Mama & Dada.

Still has no teethe

Wants to eat anything I am eating, on top of all the baby food.

Loves to make out with my face, I don't know why he just cant give a polite little kiss I guess he thinks I need to shower.

Is happiest when I am holding him, i don't know why we even bought toys he just likes me.

He is 8 1/2 months old and is wearing 18-24 month size.

This was his first time to see Santa. He was falling asleep on his lap not the reaction I was expecting I thought He would attack his beard or something.

The NFR was fun as always!

This was the very first present Briten had ever opened in his life, pretty much Jade did it for him he wasn't really interested

2nd time seeing Santa pretty much the same reaction.

This is a ball pit Santa Brought we have more balls on order it was so lame that it only came with like 15 balls

Briten & Daxtyn Love their new horses.

I hosted my family for Christmas this year there is not to many of us so its not that stressful my Grandparents came from TX and my uncle and his family came from California

Briten got spoiled this is all his new toys that he doesn't really care about, i guess i should have just gotten more clothes.

We have had a super fun, busy month!

NFR 2009

2009-11-29T12:18:00.000-08:00

We got to spend Thanksgiving in Annabella with Jades side of the family we had so much fun the food was great and it is great to hang out and play games with the family!Briten has hit a mile stone he is pulling himself up on everything and he even attempts to walk along what ever he has pulled up on! oh and he also fell off of a bed for the first time it was quite traumatic (for me)!

We did allot of laying around it was so nice!

And Briten Loved playing with his Cousin Ky!

We also spent some time over at Jades Grandma & Grandpa Andersons

it was a nice visit little did we know it would be our last with Grandpa Dean we got a call this morning letting us know that had passed in his sleep last night. We will miss Grandpa Dean he was such a loving kind person it wont be the same with out him he always had a way of lighting up a room he was always so cheerful even when he wasn't feeling well!

This was the first time Brit got to meet him I wish I would have taken a picture this weekend!

Playdate!

2009-11-29T12:11:00.001-08:00

Ezra & Briten

Last week me and Briten went to hang out with one of my Bestest friends Ashlee it was so fun because I never get to see her. And the boys were so funny together. Briten really want to play with Ezra, but he just isn't quite big enough to play yet.

CAliFoRniA!!!

2009-11-03T10:25:00.000-08:00

I didn't get very many pix at Disneyland but here are a few

Briten was such a trooper!

He loved the characters when he was awake to see them

This is at Sea World

notice Britens cute Colts hat in all the pix until he threw it in with the flamingos
Halloween, Briten fell asleep when we went trick or treating so this is the only pic. of him in his costume we just hung out at our beach front hotel all day!

The highlight of our trip was the beach cruisers we rented and road up and down the board walk but i didn't get any pix.

We went to a Chargers game it was really fun its totally different than watching on TV

We rented a 15 passenger Van this is on the way back to the airport it was fun to be able to all be in the same car

Briten loves Daxtyn and sometimes Daxtyn doesn't know what to do with the love it is pretty funny

We had a super fun trip and now i am sad its over!

What We Have Been Up To!

2009-10-20T17:39:00.000-07:00

Well last weekend we headed down to Scipio for the deer hunt, we had allot of fun we went with Jades Mom, Dad & Sister and our friends the Abplanalps. Jade shot one but that's just because he gets excited he thought the deer was bigger. Oh well.We had fun messing around with Kim's pistol shooting Pop cans

We kept moving our fire, because right off this little hill from our camp was a really pretty creek but in the evening it was to cold so we would go back up by our trailers it was pretty funny I think Jade and his mom singed off every hair on their arms

Briten wasn't a huge fan of camping I think it was just because he didn't get great naps.

Britens First Deer!

From left to right Jade behind him his dad Kelly his Mom Coreen, Briten, Kim, RD, Jetta & Corley

Briten is now 6 Months he can sit up and crawl he is just getting way to big and hes turned into a bit of a handful

My Mom threw my sister in law Jazlyn a Birthday party shrimp and crab boil and pumpkin carving contest my mom grew the giant pumpkin it was awesome

And Briten is a good laundry helper so I trapped him so he wouldn't mess up my piles lucky for me he loved it in there!

This weekend we are headed to the Circuit finals rodeo and to Disneyland the following weekend so I should be posting some more fun Pix I hope

Fun Weekend!

2009-10-04T13:49:00.001-07:00

This weekend Jade went Spike Elk hunting so me and Briten went to my Mom & Dads.

While we were there my dad needed help around "the Ranch" that's what we call the feed lot, anyways he needed someone to drive the tractor and help put up a fence so that is what I did and my Mom watched Briten in the car and we also did some serious shopping!

Jade and some friends went hunting and Jade was the only one to kill anything, and it sounds like they had a good time!

Monkey!

2009-09-29T18:32:00.000-07:00

I ordered Britens costume online and it came yesterday so of course we tried it on and he loved it!

This is only the hat part I just put it on with his jammies!

5 Months Already

2009-09-16T09:47:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe how fast the last 5 months have gone it is so sad I love watching Briten develop new skills but it is kinda bitter sweet because hes getting to big! Just look at him sitting there all by himself !

I cherish moments like this! Jade took this picture this morning as he was leaving, Yes Briten sleeps with us because we love it he would probably rather sleep alone in his crib but we force him to snuggle us!

Last weekend we celebrated Jades moms 50th Birthday it was super fun we surprised her with a condo in park city, while we were there I called my aunt Becky and she got us this amazing deal at Olympic park we got to ride two zip lines, and Alpine slide and the bobsled for free it was so fun thanks allot Beck! we also got in a little shopping, eating & game playing! In the bobsled from back to front is Me, Jades lil sis Corley & his mom Coreen! Jades Big sis Amanda was nice enough to watch briten along with her two kiddos while I rode Thanks Amanda!

This was our boys getting ready to push our bobsled down the track it is Jades dad Kelly, my Jade, and our brother in law Jade I think they are sucky pushers because we didn't get a very fast time!

They went right after us and got the fast time of the day!

A post i guess!

2009-09-08T17:40:00.000-07:00

One Month, & Allot Learned

2009-05-12T19:32:00.001-07:00

Well it has been 1 month and I cant believe it. We have learned so much, some of what I have learned...

1. Grandparents are great, and help out allot.

2. Everyone tells you having a baby is allot of work, THEY ARE RIGHT not hard work just lots of work & I love it!

3. My baby thinks he is at an all he can eat buffet, I feel like all I do is get them out and put them away!

4. I have the greatest husband ever, he helps out no matter what time it is!

5. My camera doesn't hold enough pictures!

6. That after the circumcision and belly button heal diaper changes get much easier and faster!

7. I didn't know I could love or kiss something so much!

8. Leaving the house takes allot of thought.

9. I actually can function with less than 10 hours of sleep, Much LESS!

10. I made a freakin cute baby!

I have learned so much more than this and I cant wait to keep learning more and more each day, I Love Briten so much and have totally enjoyed the first month.

Briten loves to sleep with his hands over his head like this!

His super cute church clothes, we went to church in Richfield because we were down there for mothers day, it was his first time to go to church and he fussed through most of it.

I had a great mothers day, Jade gave me an Ogio bag that i have been wanting and he said that Briten had something for me too but they accidentally left it home so I didn't get it until late Sunday night when we got home which is probably a good thing because i balled all night so I probably would have been a mess all day if he had given it to me sooner. My sister in law Jazlyn arranged and made it for Jade, it is a necklace that has on one side a pic. of Brit en and on the other a pic. of my sweet Bray's hands and feet, it is so awesome!

Addie Update

2009-05-05T10:55:00.000-07:00

We are so proud of Addie she is making huge progress, the day we went to see her she had started to talk a little she said, Jade, Maclee, Grammy, Mom, Dad, Baby just a few words. but when we went back on sat. she was trying to put together sentences they were hard to understand but she was trying she was also identifying colors, on Friday we went to therapy with her where she was learning to sit up by herself and crawl her arms were doing awesome but her legs were being slow learners she was sitting OK by herself but still a little unstable, Saturday when we were there she was sitting fine on her own crawling great and even had started to walk with a walker. She is doing so good!

Yesterday she had allot happen she figured out how to swallow so she got her feeding tube out! then they came and took her neck brace off! YAY! we were so excited for her not to have to put up with those anymore I think they were probably bugging all of us more than Addie but we are so happy! and when I called Amanda they were on a walk around the hospital and not in a wheelchair she was holding Addie's hand and she was walking really good! We are going to see them again this weekend and we are hoping that we will be visiting them in their own house but we aren't sure yet!

Briten's Big Weekend

2009-05-05T10:31:00.000-07:00

Addie loved getting to see baby Briten!

We have been dieing to go see Addie but we were nervous about taking Briten in the hospital being that he is just a little fart, but we finally decided it was time, so we made plans that Friday we would go see Addie in the morning, then I scheduled pictures at my moms house for the afternoon after pictures we went to dinner with friends we ended the night with Britens first sleep over at Grandmas (it didn't go great but around 2 he finally went to sleep). Next we headed up to Heriman to watch Jades little brother at the high school rodeo and then back to spend more time with Addie, after visiting Addie for a couple of hours the whole fam. decided to go to market street grille for dinner, then back home to Roosevelt. It was a fun crazy weekend and the best part was getting to see Addie doing so well!

Ky was also excited to see Baby Briten!

Briten also had his first real bath Friday morning his button fell off when I changed him in the middle of the night and I was so excited to give him his first bath I almost did it at 3:30 a.m. but I waited until morning and Jade and I bathed him super fast. He didn't love it but he also didn't hate it Jade wanted to try the chair that sits in the water and I don't think he was in the water far enough because the next bath we gave him was in his whale tub and he loved that. I cant believe he is already 3 weeks old time is flying by!

Our Sweet Little Addie!

2009-04-25T15:29:00.001-07:00

This is our sweet little niece Addie, poor little Addie needs your prayers, last Monday she was at the arena with her dad and brother, her horse spooked and she fell off and hit her head, she wasn't breathing her dad did CPR on her and got her breathing before the ambulance got there, but because she wasn't responding they called for life flight the took her by helicopter up to primary children's. Addie has a crack in her skull luckily it there was no swelling or bleeding on her brain. She is taking a really long time to wake up but they are hopeful that there is no serious brain injuries, she is wearing a big neck brace because they are uncertain that her neck has no injuries, because she has been asleep so long she will likely have to relearn how to walk and talk. Our hearts are broken for her and her family we just keep praying for them. Today Addie is showing progress Amanda bought her a Dora movie and when she told Addie what she had gotten she reached out for it so that is HUGE, the most progress she has shown, they also ask her to find mommy and she looks right at Amanda so today is the best day she has had so far. We love Addie and her family so much and are hoping for the best! She needs lots of prayers so please pray for our dear little Addie!

Right at this moment!

to a 3 & 1/2 so I was a little nervous Jade might miss it, but he made it home to my moms where i was staying and we decided that before i came back out to Roosevelt i better get checked again, and that is when good ole Doc. Anderson told me I was Dilated to a 5 and asked us if we want to have a baby today? of course we said yes we were hoping that is what he would say anyway so he told us to go get our bags, gets some lunch and he would see us over at the hospital to break my water, then we got all hooked up and little to my surprise i had been having some contractions on my own that i didn't know about, but they still put me on pitosin around 2:00 to speed things up and by 11:19 that night Briten was here.

*Did your water break? not by itself

*Was it video taped? No Way!

* Did you have any drugs for the pain? Epidural all the way

*Did you go Natural or have a c-section? Natural but with drugs.

* What was your first reaction after giving birth?I couldn't believe he was finally here after 3 long awaited years

*How big was the baby(s)? 7lbs 13 oz. 20 and a 1/2 inches long

*Did the baby(s) have any complications? he wasn't breathing quite right so he had to be on oxygen for about 4 hours but nothing after that.

*How old is your baby today? 10 days.

*When is the next one(s) coming? ????? I want them close but I don't know

*If you could, would you do it all over again? For Sure

We Love our little Mister!

(so far that is what his Dad calls him or just Sir we will see which silly name sticks you know Jade and his nicknames)

2009-03-27T16:50:00.000-07:00

After a couple of fun showers all we need now is our sweet baby to get here. We are so excited that we are driving our selves crazy waiting I think that this last month will definitely be the longest just like everyone has told me, but oh well I guess we just have to wait.

Last Thursday some of my girlfriends and I got together for a little lunch shower that was so fun it is so fun to hang out with friends that I don't see as often Thanks Ash for organizing that and thanks Bobby and MiKell for coming it was so Fun! I had my camera with intentions on taking pictures and totally forgot :(

Then on Tuesday Emily and Cheryl threw a Big Neighborhood/Bunko Shower (Thanks again you two) it was so fun! Thanks to all who came! This Baby is already so spoiled with two showers yet to come. We feel so blessed to have so many people we love in our lives to share in our excitement.

My Nursery is coming together there are only a few things that I want to put in there but I just haven't found the perfect ones.

Weekend Fun

2009-03-08T18:12:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Jades Brother, two Sisters, and Niece and Nephew came out to visit we had lots of fun, we don't get to see them as often since we moved out here so it was a really nice treat. There is a really fun pool at the new rec center in Vernal so me, Amanda & Corley took Addie and Ky.

This is Amanda, Ky & Corley the water was pretty cold, I wouldn't know because they wont let you in unless you are fully showered and I didn't want to get my hair wet; Needless to say all the kids would probably be scared to swim with a whale. Ky & Addie loved it Even though it was cold!

While they were here Me and the girls went and got pedicures had lunch and did a little shopping, the boys watched the fights at Shads house, roped & played poker. Thanks for coming out it was fun to be with the fam.

MY LOVE!

Texas with Jade

2009-02-17T13:07:00.000-08:00

Well I am back in Utah, I got to go rodeoing with Jade for a week down in Texas it was really fun Even though all we did was drive eat and watch the rodeos. I love being trapped in a truck for hours on end with Jade we have so much fun. Here is how our trip went we left sun. morning and we got about an hour away from home and got stuck in the snow so for two hours we sat on the side of the road waiting for some friends to bring us a 4 wheel drive truck, so we got pulled out and drove over the mountain and switched back trucks in Price, we drove to Albuquerque NM. and stayed our first night there when I got out of the truck I realized we had a problem

the tire was hissing, so the next morning Jade and Kaden got that taken care of then we were on our way again to San Angelo Tx. we got there with no more interruptions they roped there the next morning and did good (i cant remember their time) that night Me, Jade, Haley & Jason Adams, Kaden & Speed Williams went to the movie, then they roped again the next morning and did well again, we got back in the truck and drove to Belton Tx. they roped there that night and had no luck. Then we headed to Katy Tx. which is basically in Houston, they roped there and had no luck again but I got to see my grandma she was taking pictures at the ropin and I also got to eat at my favorite restaurant

I had eaten there once before and I was not going to leave Katy without eating there it is super fresh seafood and you actually feel like you are eating in a boat

from there we headed to Allen Bachs house in Millsap TX. we stayed there for the rest of the trip, it was really cool to get to rope and hang out with Allen

on Sat. we drove over to Salado Tx. to the wildfire roing where once again no luck but fun to watch then back to Allens and then I flew home on Sun. I was so sad to leave Jade he wont be home until March 1 :( I may fly to AZ and meet up with him next weekend if I cant stand being home. anyways that was our fun little trip.

Good Things Utah

2009-02-17T13:03:00.001-08:00

My SIL (sister in law) Amanda got her and I tickets to our favorite morning show, it was so fun we made a whole day of it! And it was so great to get out of roosevelt and have some fun with Amanda! Thanks Amanda

And There Off

2009-02-03T16:05:00.000-08:00

Well Jade started rodeoing already, usually he doesn't start until April but not this year so far we have been to Denver CO, Farmington NM, and Rio Rancho NM. He is roping with Jazlyns little brother Kaden it is his first year he is only 18 but so far they have done pretty good in Denver they were 6.3 on their first one and 5.7 on their second one giving them a 12.0 and it took 11.9 to make the short go. (That Sucked). At both rodeos in NM they were the first team to go knowing that they had to be 5.0 or shorter they had to just go for it and it didn't really work out but they still did good. this weekend we are heading to San Angelo TX and Salado TX. I am flying home from TX on the 15th but Jade is going on to Arizona for some more rodeos and wont be home until the first week in March. Anyways boring post just to fill you in. (I like to keep track of what we have been up to for journal purposes sorry it is boring to read)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2009-01-30T07:40:00.000-08:00

Heres to the best mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(sorry for the ugly pic. I need more of us together)

High School Basketball

2009-01-15T12:09:00.000-08:00

Last night we went to watch Jades little brothers basketball game in Manti, it was such a fun game to go to, and the closest one to Roosevelt. South Sevier was ranked 2ND in the region and undefeated, Manti was ranked 1st with one loss. South Sevier was awesome they held the lead the entire game but not by far it was so fun to watch, and Rhett played so good. Now South Sevier is #1 and still undefeated.

GOOD LUCK with the rest of the season GO RAMS!

Christmas

2009-01-01T12:02:00.000-08:00

I forgot my camera at home for Christmas so I dont have any pictures but it was a really nice Christmas our families are so awesome and make Christmas so much fun. Me and Jade never know what to get each other so we just get something big that we need, this year we got our changing table and crib bedding and Jade ordered himself a saddle but he says that it isn't part of Christmas but I say it is. I think we are going to get our nursery put together this month when Jade gets home from a few rodeos I will post some pics if we really ever get it set up.
Thanks to our families for such an amazing Christmas.

Birthday!

2009-01-01T11:45:00.000-08:00

Well every year while in Vegas I have my birthday as well as Daxtyn this year my G-Ma & G-Pa Allen were there so before they left we had a joined B-Day party at Benihannas it was so fun there were like 30 people there.

The next night which was my real birthday a bunch of friends went to the Cheesecake Factory.

You would think at the Cheesecake Factory they would give you a bigger birthday dessert.
I forgot to take pictures of the best part of my Birthday. When I got to Vegas Jade had left a huge bouquet of roses and a bunch of gifts in our room for me it was such a sweet surprise. oh and my favorite cake from Costco it is so chocolaty and delicious. I think he had a little help from my mom but she swears it was his idea.

NFR 2008

2009-01-01T11:10:00.000-08:00

This year was extra special at the NFR because Kaycee was riding there. It made it sooo much fun. My Mom and Dad were there all 10 nights Jade and Shad I think were there for 9 and me, Jazlyn and Daxtyn were there the last 6. But Kaycee waited for me to get there the first night that i was there he won the round it was AWESOME! (He should have won more) (those damn judges LOL)

This was at the award ceremony where they give out the buckles. The whole family went on stage.

They asked my Dad to say some things about Kaycee, my Mom really wanted to brag on her baby but they didn't give her the mic. LOL

These are Kaycee's traveling partners I like to call them his wife and kids, they are so dang funny they have some really fun times together.(sometimes I think too much fun).

One Word

2008-12-05T15:59:00.000-08:00

I stole this from Kristy, it could be fun or scary.

So here we go!

Think of one word, just one single word to best describe me and post it in my comments. You can leave a brief explanation of why you picked that word if you want.

Then feel free to post this on your blog if you want me to try to describe you in one word. It's also fun to see how many strange and interesting things people say about you.

ITS A BOY!

2008-11-25T10:30:00.000-08:00

We went to the Doctor last Mon. and my sweet Doctor let me have an ultrasound to help calm my nerves, during the ultra sound we got a little peek and saw a little pee pee! We are super excited to be blessed with another boy! My next appointment is my scheduled ultrasound the big "20 weeker" I will feel pretty dumb if it changes but the Doc. said he was 100% sure, so anyways just a little update hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

The Deer Hunt

2008-11-05T10:47:00.000-08:00

I had a southern tag so Jade and I went to Richfield for a few days which is always fun. Jade got his ole best buddy Bryan to take us, it was so fun Bryan brought his girlfriend Jonie (who is a blast)

We didn't hunt to hard, Jades Dad kept asking when we were going to go "Deer Hunting" not just "Deer Driving". The last day me Jade and Bryan went out we did do a little hiking, I shot at a little 2 point and lucky for Bryan and Jade I missed.

Hunting is one of my favorite parts of fall even if we don't get one!

We all had fun wakeboarding Kaycee & Jade are sharing a turn here. my Grandma is a photographer and she took close to 400 pic so there is so much to talk about.

We all loved the game my grandma and grandpa brought it is called ladder golf if you ever see it BUY IT! it is so fun!

Elk Hunt in the Bookcliffs

2008-09-27T10:36:00.001-07:00

Kaycee and my Dad drew elk tags in the bookcliffs roadless area this year, it was so much fun! We had quite the crew with us we had Kaycee, Steve C., Cory V., my Dad, Matt T., Shad, Todd, Clay, Me, Jade & my Mom and not to forget my Dads dog Spot. and 21 horses.

because it is the roadless area any thing you want to take has to fit on the horses, we had an awesome camp because we packed so many horses. Other hunter would ride through our camp and say things like wow you guys brought in a whole city it was super funny.

Most of us were there for seven days, and after seven days neither hunter had killed anything so my dad, Kaycee, and our friends Cory & Todd stayed another seven days. Two days after we all left Kaycee shot his huge bull.

Unfortunately my Dad passed up lots of big bulls. He was hunting one that he wanted, he ended up wounding him but they could never find him again. They had to leave without filling his tag. Camping and hunting is so much fun I am so glad we got to go and enjoy for awhile, I have the funnest family we enjoy times like these so much.

YEAH!!!!!!

2008-09-25T21:17:00.000-07:00

Well here I go again. We are so exited and a little nervous this time but mostly exited. I found out I was pregnant again about 3 weeks ago but Jade doesn't like me to spill the beans till I see the Doctor. Yesterday I went and everything looks good I had an ultrasound there was only one heart beat I was hoping for 2 but 1 is FABULOUS! I am due April 26 I pray it comes fast because I already feel like I have been pregnant forever. ( I have been pregnant 9 out of the last 10 months and will be for another 7)

Lava Hot Springs

2008-08-05T13:34:00.001-07:00

This Past weekend was super fun we went to four rodeos in three days and still had time to stop in and play at Lava Hot Springs! We floated the river a couple of times and then went to the pool and jumped off of the platforms no one dared jump from the highest one though! (I guess cowboys really aren't that tough.) ha ha

This was the crew Haley & Jason Adams (Jades roping partner and his wife) Jade, Me, Jesse & Nicole. behind Nicole is Nick White his wife Ashlee is taking the pix she didn't float because she is pregnant but we had fun with her at the pool. then there is Clayton Beckstead, and Kenneth Winn. lots of pastey white boys ooh la la!

These guys are trying to figure out the best way to go down the falls!

Jade enjoying one of the smaller falls none of them were very big though!

I was just happy to be in the sun!

We had a blast!

Roosevelt

2008-08-04T22:52:00.001-07:00

Well for those of you who didn't know Jade & I moved to roosevelt Ut it is near vernal if you were wondering. This is a picture of the townhouses that we are living in. We hope to build a house in the next year but for now this is where we live! Roosevelt is a huge adjustment the closest wal-mart is in vernal which is about a 30 min. drive there are a couple fast food joints and a couple grocery stores but that pretty much sums up Roosevelt. We are really happy here!

Jade and my Dad started a water hauling business in the oil-field out here that is why we made the move, I will get some pictures of their trucks to give you an idea of what they are into. So far so good but new business ventures are always a bit scary.

I was going to wait until my baby was born to get into blogging, but I guess since things didn't go as planned I better start.

On June 11 I went in for a routine doctors appointment when I found out that my baby boy had for some unknown reason passed away. Jade and I are very heartbroken but doing fine we have so much love for our heavenly son and are thankful for the time we had with him. Through our testimonies of life after death and eternal families we are managing to get through. We have been cleared by the doctor to start trying again we hope that soon we will have another on the way.
