Still alive!

Yes we are still alive!! Life has just been so crazy, our house has been on the market for 3 months and we have probably have about 5-7 showings per week. Which of course means me and the children being kicked out of the house for several hours at a time and of course the fun task of keeping the house spotless at all times which is an easy task with a three year old and a newborn. However, all the hard work has paid off!! We had an offer on the house and have accepted it!! So, we are under contract and have to be out the last week of July! I am excited, nervous and sad all at the same time. I will miss our neighbors and the wonderful friends I have made. But, I know it is the right decision for our family. So wish us luck.

Other than the house we have had a whirlwind of the last three months. Noah, is getting so big. He is the happiest baby and always smiling. He is really content except when it is dinner time(every three hours). So here are some highlights of what we have been up to. Be prepared long post!!!

My good friend Meg and Mitch left for school in Tennessee! I miss you Meg!

We had to go see Thomas while he was in town

My adorable niece Addy on her first birthday!

We went to the Western Stampede Rodeo! My mom got Noah this outfit for the rodeo! Isn't it hilarious? Jon, wasn't so sure what to think of it!

We went to the West Jordan parade on the 4th! Hayden insisted on wearing his cowboy hat

We went to Lagoon yesterday for my aunts work day and the clown painted the boys faces here is batman and a monster!! You can imagine what they looked like by the end of the day!

6 Wonderful Years

Last Saturday (the 16th) we celebrated our 6 year anniversary!! I cant believe we have been married for 6 years. Time really flies. It was a great day, we got a babysitter and went and saw a movie(the small joys in life after children). We went to Ruth's dinner in emigration canyon, it was so fun we had dinner outside on the patio while a band played. then, we finished the evening walking around the gateway. It was so nice to just spend the day together. Even though both of our boys had ear infections, my wonderful in laws insisted we still go out. It is so fun to look back on our 6 years together and reflect on all we have done together and accomplished.... here are a few.

- Been able to travel.... California, Mexico, Hawaii, Disney World, Bahamas, Seattle

- Purchased a home

- Jon Graduated with his master's degree

- had two wonderful boys!!

these are just a few, I cant wait to see what the future has in store for us. I cant wait to grow old together. Jon, I love you very much and am so grateful you are my husband. Thanks for marrying me, being my best friend and eternal campanion. Here are some fun pics of our wedding day! Don't we look like babies?? oh yeah I was only 18 well almost 19!!

Noah's Big Day

On May 3 we blessed Noah, it was such a special day. Jon did such a great job with the blessing. We are so thankful for all our wonderful friends and family that came to support us on this wonderful day. I am also so lucky to be a mom to Noah, he is such an amazing spirit. He has brought such new joy to my life. I was so worried that I wouldnt be able to love another baby the way I do Hayden, but it comes so natural and easy to love him. I love just holding him and marveling at what a miracle it truly is to be a mother and to know he was so recently in heavenly father's arms. Sorry, to get all mushy but I am just so grateful to be a mommy to two awesome boys!!! Here are some pics!

Where Do I Begin??

I Know a few weeks ago I promised a post but have been a huge slacker!! So much has happened in the last month but, life has been so crazy! I am finding that the adjustment to two children is not as difficult as the first. However, I am also learning that I have no time!!! Between chasing Hayden around and feeding the babe I feel like I look at the clock and the day is gone!! Time is already going by so fast. So much has been happening so bear with me while I try and update my blog with all that has been happening the last month and a half!

Happy Birthday Litttle Buddy!!

On April 19 was Hayden's Birthday! I cant believe that he is 3. Wow, how time flies! He is such a joy in our lives. He is so funny and entertaining, I remember when we brought him home from the hospital I was so overwhelmed. But, he really has been the most angelic first child. He slept through the night right from the begining and everything since has been a breeze even potty training. I Love him so much and am so thankful to be a mother, I seriously couldn't imagine my life without him. He makes me smile, laugh even sometimes cry everyday. He loves swords, sticks & bats(he is such a boy). He loves to sing and I am so suprised at the songs that he memorizes. He also loves to act movies out, and gets so frustrated when I dont say the lines right. Anyway, I thought I would post some pics of him from the time he was born on... Hayden, we love you so much!! Thanks for the best three years of our lives!

2009 Birthday

2008 Wow! How they change in a year!

2007 Birthday

SLACKER

Sorry, I have been a huge slacker lately!! I have so many fun and exciting things happening and I ha ve not been blogging. So, bear with me while I get caught up with our exciting month!

House for Sale

Just wanted to post a warning to all of my wonderful neighbors..... our house is on the market. the sign should be up today. We are very sad to be leaving, we love our neighborhood but feel it is time for us to leave. We dont know where we are moving to, but eventually want to end up in the Daybreak area. Our biggest reason is we feel we should use some of our equity to pay off some debts (school). We will probably be living with my in laws for a while until we find the right house. Anyway, I just wanted to warn you and let my neighbors know we will miss you all very much. We are very thankful for the friendships we have made! Wish us luck!
