I haven't blogged since June, I just don't have the time. I start finals in two weeks and I'm terrified. If all goes well, I start my externship October 27th. This year of school really flew by. It's been easy some days and the ultimate struggle the next. Wish me luck with the next few months of my life. I'll need all the prayers I can get. I don't know what the next step in my life is going to be like, it's like jumping off of a cliff and hoping you don't die..

Sincerely, Scared Shitless.

Stawberry Days! Round 1 :)

2011-06-17T15:42:00.003-06:00

Brynlee, Nick and I went to the carnival on Wednesday.
It was a lot of fun. A little crowded but worth it! 100%

She wasn't a fan of this ducky ride, she kept trying to climb out
maybe it wasn't cool enough for this 2 year old.

She obviously loved the Merry-Go-Round.
We rode it a few times.

She picked the front seat on the train.

and got to hone in on her mad driving skillz.

Before we left, we picked up some strawberries and cream
(not pictured due to a certain someone that wouldn't appreciate me bragging about having strawberries before she did LOVE YOU!) ;)

We ended the night with a Chinese picnic on the front lawn!

GREAT evening!

corny? hahaha....

2011-06-03T12:12:00.001-06:00

Just havin' some corn with dinner.

likes corn:

LOVES corn:

:)

escapee!

2011-06-03T11:50:00.003-06:00

I heard some rustling around this morning coming from Brynlee's room. I didn't think anything of it. I opened the door to greet her for the morning ;) and THIS is what I found!

She said "Mom, help?" haha..
I helped her get down and she was SO proud of herself!
She said "MOM! I climbed out!" and pointed up to her crib.

Time for a big girl bed.

Irongirl?

2011-06-03T11:29:00.003-06:00

Just about every morning, we get in the car and Brynlee says "guy?" which I think means mask or maybe it really means "guy". I mean, she knows that it's a character and it's definitely not a girl so.. I think her description is pretty close. ha!

Anyway, she asks me to put it on her and this is how we drive to daycare.

I love her to bits!

Wordless Wednesday. (ish)

2011-05-25T16:08:00.001-06:00

How precious is this?
My mother in law and my Nicholas!

New addition! Ahhh!!

2011-05-23T18:11:00.005-06:00

I got it Friday night. This is right after it was done so it's a bit red but it's awesome!
I'm loving it.
It's called a Dermal.

It didn't hurt too bad. There was a little pinch when the needle first went in and then when he put the jewelry in, it was uncomfortable but overall, not the worst pain I've ever felt at all!

I can't figure out how to get the video from my phone to my blog but if I figure it out I'll update it.

Bone Thugs N Harmony.

2011-05-23T17:52:00.004-06:00

A few weeks ago, I won 2 tickets to see Bone Thugs N Harmony in concert. I called into U92 and was the 9th caller. WINNING! Nick and I were so excited.
Love them.
I think a few of you might say that you don't know who they are but YOU DO!
I just know it ;)
Google "Tha Crossroads" you've heard it. haha..

It was up at the Saltair.
I was a little un-impressed with the sound system but that wasn't them thugs fault. ;)

It was a pretty good show and for free? can't beat it!

It looks like we had bad seats but we didn't.
We were on the balcony and could see everything really well.

:)

We spied these young ladies when we were walking in. I was sooo surprised! People said they see them up there all the time for all sorts of concerts and that they're REAL fans!
hahaha... oh boy. I couldn't pass up this photo op.

They were front row with their hands in the air, lovin' every minute of it!
man they were sa-weet! hahahaha... *sigh*
I'll be like that some day

After the show, I was able to get a picture with Flesh.
It was awesome!
Except he kept calling me "baby" haha..
"come here, baby"
"lets get this picture, baby".

We bought Brynlee a pink onesie and he signed it as well! So cool!
*Flesh, God Bless*

Overall it was a great night! Nick and I had a lot of fun!

Evening Stroll.

2011-05-13T17:25:00.005-06:00

It was such a nice night when I got home from work yesterday. I just knew we couldn't stay inside so we quickly ate dinner and went for a walk. It was great. Here are a few pictures of our evening!

First of all we found out Brynlee is obsessed with these.

We even found an entire yard full of them. She wanted to go get some but I'll be honest, I really hate them so I said no. Mean mom, I know.

I really just LOVED how awesome this silhouette looked.

Brynlee helping dad with Koda.

Trying to get a family picture...haha!

We went home and got Brynlee right in a bubble bath!

Clean and Cheesin' :)

summa!

2011-05-10T14:58:00.004-06:00

We invited ourselves to our friends house last Friday evening because ~~they're our best friends and it's okay sometimes to invite yourself~~ ;) they were lighting up their fire pit and I'm a fire bug, you just can't keep me away! It was a short visit (compared to others) but it was fantastic! Love seeing our besties! I only took one picture that night but it's a good one!

First Smore of the season!

girls. Word-less Wednesday.

2011-05-09T18:46:00.006-06:00

Hair

Make-up.

Nails.

Man, I love having a mini me.
Sorry it's not Wednesday! I'm sure you know, blogger was actin' a fool.

this is gonna be a long one.

2011-05-09T17:56:00.024-06:00

I'm trying to clear out the pictures on my cell phone but I don't want to just delete them.

Here we go:

Brynlee and I on a game day. Go Raiders!

Little lady bug for Halloween.

More Halloween Pictures.

Baby girl brushing her teeth. It's seriously her favorite thing to do.

Bearded lady? :) mhm.

Schoolin'

Just cute :)

The fortune that was in my cookie while sitting next to Nick. :)

Doin' pretty good.

Jimmy John's.

My 2 year old enjoying an infant swing. ha!

First day of school. Breakfast.

Nick has bigger feet that Ronald McDonald!! Haha!

Flower shaped bruise? Toally Sad! Kinda cool?

Cousin's Baptism.

Just playing with gramps.

Delicious Marley's! Kid's meal.

Brynlee's SA-WEET Jordan's!!!

Brynlee. :)

Alrrright. I think that's about it. :) If I blogged more often, all these pictures wouldn't get so backed up! haha.. Sorry guys, if you're still with me. LOVE YA!
Have an awesome day!
Until next time!

obese.

2011-03-30T18:11:00.002-06:00

seriously. I am so fat. I really have never felt this terrible in my entire life. I weigh so much. more than any 21 year old 5'4 woman should EVER weigh. I hate me. I am so sick about this right now. I just want to cry. I can not believe I'm this fat. I just don't know how it happened. Please. I need help.

Revised:

I'm feeling better. I know that I'm still big, but bitching about it on my blog is not going to get me anywhere. YOUR COMMENTS HOWEVER, have been great. Thanks so much guys. I really appreciate it. Over the weekend, Nick and I got everything that we need to take our lunches to work and school every day. That's going to help me a lot. Little by little I'll be changing things.

So far:
I'm already eating more fruit. I love both fruits and veggies so it's not hard for me to eat them but it hasn't been the season for anything I swear it, but that's changing so I'll eat more.

I'm going to start parking far away from school. Normally I can get a front or second row spot but why would I want to?? I don't do anything all day so the few extra steps are going to get me that much closer to my goal.

I'm not too bad with soda but I could do better HOWEVER, I don't think I can say "I'm quitting soda" because it makes me crave it more. Same goes for sweets.

I've started to put everything in snack size ziploc baggies in the portion sizes that are on the bag. That way I just grab one and not 7 servings at once. ;) The hard thing about that is that a serving size of my favorite chips is "9 chips" SERIOUSLY?! hahaha.. but I'll get used to it!

I CAN DO THIS!
watch and see.
I'll try to keep you updated.

My baby's 2nd birthday!!

2011-01-21T10:03:00.003-07:00

NO WAY?! How did this happen?? Two years have already flown by?? Nooo...!

Welp, yesterday was Brynlee's birthday and we had a little celebration at home.
I was at school and work all day so I was determined to make her evening eventful since I didn't get to see her all day!

I came home around 7:30 with a big balloon bouquet in one hand and cupcakes in the other!

I ran to the kitchen and put a candle in one of the cupcakes and we sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" to her, she loved it! I set the cupcake down and asked her to blow it out!

It was a "trick wick" She didn't like that, she wanted to blow it out and dig into the cupcake, but when it kept re-lighting, she just got scared of it! Haha, I took the candle out and let her have the cupcake! :) She was so excited!

Even though it was small, I know it meant a lot to her. It sure meant a lot to me. I feel like I never see my baby girl anymore.

After we sang and she ate, I had to get dinner. (Yes, she got a cupcake before dinner) I wanted to get Brynlee her favorite food which is Chicken Lo Mein from a local Chinese place that we go to. I came home and we all ate great.

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby. I love you so much!!

Here's just another cute picture of my cute 2 year old!
I just can't believe it!!

This is our #2 box.

Can I tell you how glad I am that I did this?
Brynlee is SO much fun with it!
All day long she asks "box?" or "trick-or-treat?"
(because there is candy in them sometimes and she's silly like that)
But she has to wait for mommy AND daddy to be home to do it.

Inside box number 2 was....

What's that you ask?
You can't tell what was inside because all you see is a crying baby??

Well, inside box number two was 2 Baby Ruths.
But she's crying because we couldn't open them fast enough for her
since "mean ol' mom" had to take a picture first.

how rude.

:)

Merry Christmas!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

2010-12-02T10:12:00.000-07:00

About a week ago I started a craft with one of my best buddies Sharley
It was a lot of hard work and it wasn't the cheapest BUT it turned out great. I'm so excited to start this series. First I'll show you what I made, then I'll update you each day.

Here is Sharley's post about the project.

Here is my homemade Advent Calendar
(click on the picture, make it bigger and check that thing out!)

This is the present from Day 1.

Can you guess what it is?

Dad said it wasn't very "Christmas-y" but Brynlee loved it and that's what matters!
There was a laffy taffy in there as well but she chomped that down QUICK.

As you all know, Brynlee was the smiley-est baby around and only lately is she having issues. haha.. this is her new smile. It happens when we say "Brynlee, show me your teeth"

haha! funny girl.

Anyway! Merry Christmas everyone!

this is a big deal!

2010-12-02T09:42:00.000-07:00

I'm blogging guys, this is huge! I never blog anymore. check it out, see how long it's been since my last post. bah haha..

but here I am. :)

First I'll start by saying that Thanksgiving was good. As good as it could have been, due to the circumstances.

Nick and I lost a very close friend of ours the Sunday before Thanksgiving and the viewing and funeral was on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. We were thankful that we still had each other and our beautiful baby girl but couldn't help missing Kevin. A lot. I love you buddy. I miss you like crazy.

Kevin, Vivian and Payton.

-------

After Thanksgiving on Friday, we went to Chuck E. Cheese for a friends birthday!
Brynlee had a BLAST!!
I should have recorded the way she was dancing with the animatronics on stage. SO cute! :)

Dad put her up sooo high.

She was kinda scared of this, it was a little shakey.

Loved the clock.

She ate pizza and cake and ran around playing and acting like a crazy girl all night. I know she had so much fun. We'll be back again I'm sure. Ya know what was the hardest part? Thinking about germs... oh LORD, I bet that place is disgusting. I did alright but she got straight into the bath when we got home. Ha!
As we were leaving, she saw the girl leaving with the balloons we brought her and it broke her heart! She thought because they came to the party in our car, that they got to leave in our car too. I'm sorry baby! Your birthday is coming (ohh emm gee!!!!!!!!!)
Mommy will get you some balloons then!

Love you guys. I've missed you.

goodness, we love her.

2010-06-18T12:32:00.000-06:00

seriously?? doesn't get any better than that! she's so dang cute. dirty face and all..

I love them. lol, she's not having the best time in this picture can ya tell??

that's better.

shoot I love them!

I love being a mommy. I love having my own family.

I have a great life!

Love you all! I've missed blogging!

Baby Contest 2010

2010-06-18T12:22:00.000-06:00

ahhh... my baby girl is shyyy.

You have got to WOW the judges in order to win, do something cute, say something funny, anything but nahh.. miss Brynlee just sat there, bein' all shy like her pops.

lol, I am NOT a shy person but her father is and I'm guessing that's where it comes from.

Oh well, she's still 100% the cutest ever to me! :)

this picture shows the mood for pretty much the whole day...

Lady Liberty!

Smile...

It was fun.

Perfect.

2010-05-21T14:25:00.000-06:00

Don't you just love moments that make you realize you have the perfect friends, the perfect husbee, who is the perfect daddy to the perfect baby?

I will.

2010-05-21T14:01:00.000-06:00

This Photograph was taken about 1917 in an underground mineshaft.

The horse was totally blind, as were all such horses due to a lifetime in total darkness.

It is the most impressive image I have ever seen.

It depicts the American way of life and the effort it took our forefathers to build this great country.

Often, when I have been discouraged and despondent beyond words. I have looked at this picture and said to myself. "I will pull it one more mile."

With that attitude in mind and with an average amount of intelligence, any person can certainly make a success of their life in this land of free enterprise. Ross Taylor

WOW!

2010-01-19T15:36:00.000-07:00

I'm still in awe that I have a baby girl. You're not such a "baby" anymore. Sweetheart, Tomorrow is your birthday and you are ONE! I am so shocked. This year has been one amazing roller coaster ride! You went from being a very hard newborn to the most easy going, perfect baby girl a mommy could ask for. I have had an amazing time being your mommy and I can't wait for more hugs and kisses, more milestones and even more BUTT changes. :) I love you so much. I would do anything for you. You are my strength, my light and my entire world. I hope that you have a great birthday baby girl!

Here are some of the things you're up to these days!

*You got your puppy Koda as an early Christmas present. You love him!

*You are walking baby girl! You took your first steps at Grandma and Grandpa's. Right to Grandpa of course.

*Goes up the stairs with no help. but you think you can just walk right off the top stair (to come back down) with no help. Scares mommy to death!

*You absolutely LOVE books. You love to turn the pages, look at the pictures and you love the stories.

*You have 3 1/2 teeth. I say 1/2 because that top left tooth is just not comin' through!

*We tried whole milk for a bit but it seems like your body didn't take it very well. We'll try again soon. *update. seems like you're taking it fine this time!

*You eat whatever mom and dad eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

*You are quite the daredevil! We've caught you a few times just diving off the couch head first.

*You love food. You eat pretty much everything without choking. Mom just has to make sure the bites are small enough.

*You love to be tossed up into the air.

*You love being hung upside down by dad.

*You scream for our attention and then do something silly when we look. My favorite is when you "wink" like dad. You just blink both eyes.

*You are the biggest FAKER! You can fake laugh, fake cry, fake cough and it's all so funny!

*You sleep great through the night! You've been great at this since probably 5 months old!

*You wear size 4 shoes but not very often because you're feet are chunky!!

*You love to push your buggy cars around on the floor. Sometimes I think you even make car noises!

*You play a great game of tug o' war with Koda.

*You LOVE the train Grandma Shelly and Brian got you for Christmas!

*You can growl like Koda and it's very cute!

*You give a great high five! and afterward, you're so proud of yourself you clap!

*You love the conversations you and Grandma Theresa have.

*You spend so much time with Grandma Theresa that you get more sad when she leaves than when mommy or daddy leaves!

*You hold out a toy to show us, sometimes share it and sometimes you cry if you were just trying to show us.

*You can understand a lot more than you can say. You're not a big talker right now but you listen if we ask you to do something.

*You absolutely LOVE going to the store with mommy.

There is so much more that you do everyday.
You're an amazing addition to our family
and I'm so glad that we've been blessed with such an amazing daughter!
I love you baby!

I'm here.
Always have been.
Always will be.

Happy Birthday Nick!

2010-01-12T13:41:00.000-07:00

I love you so much sweetheart.
You mean more to me than you'll ever know.
I know that you can't stand when your birthday comes around every year,
but getting older is a part of life and
IT'S OKAY!!

You make me so happy.
Here is a list of just some of the reasons why I love you.

First and by far the most important,
*you're an amazing daddy and Brynlee loves you SO much.

*you try your hardest to make me feel beautiful.

*you're hilarious.

*you are SEXY!

*you dress real cute.

*you always smell great!

*you're tall and i love it.

*you are so passionate about football!

facts about my Nicholas:

*He doesn't like ice in his drinks
and thinks that fast food places put so much ice in their
cups just to save a few bux on soda.

*He doesn't like sweets but when he does get that
random sweet tooth, he can eat like 3 king size candy bars in a row.

*He can eat like a half a quart of ice cream at a time but only if it's mint chocolate chip.

*He will NOT fight with me. haha.. i'm a girl and sometimes I like to argue and he just won't do it.

*WOO! He hates when I call him Nicky. hahaha...

*He loves pitbulls and would never have any other kind of dog.

*He hates that there is a gap in his teeth and HATES this picture because of it.

*It's NO secret, he's the world's most loyal Raiders fan

*He is a big softie ever since that little girl Brynlee has come along!

*He had a ton of fun on vacation with me and my family a few years ago, even though it was FREEZING!

*On that trip, he wreck us on the snowmobile and I went flying over him then over the handle bars and scared me to death. I was fine though.

*We've been to tons of wedding's together but never thought much about our own.

erin's wedding.

shelby's wedding

*He has dated one amazing girl for a long time now...

our very first ^^ picture together!

super old pic. :)

Happy 26th Birthday sweetheart.
Brynlee and I are so extremely blessed to have you in our lives.

xxOxx: Your beautiful baby girl and I.

today at lunch...

2010-01-08T13:25:00.000-07:00

Ya know how I know I'm never satisfied??

Today as I'm getting my lunch, I pull up to the drive-thru at Wendy's and I tell him my order he says **literally talking 100 MPH**

"small, medium or large?"

I say "small" and he gives me the total.

I pull forward and before I'm anywhere near the window the girl is hanging out yelling

"HI! $4.93"

so I give her the money and she hands me my change.

I look up to start pulling forward and my bag of food is already hanging out of the other window. I reach the window and the lady says

"here ya go!"

practically throwing the bag in my face with the drink following close behind. I drive away
and I'm sooo peeved! Do you know why?!!!

Because they talked, took my money and gave me my food TOO fast?!!

Bah hahaha... How does that even make sense??
Had they have been too slow I would have been upset too!

Moral of the story?
I'm a total brat and I'm hard to please.

*food was good though ;)*

hmmm..

2010-01-07T15:06:00.000-07:00

I just can't figure it out..

I can't figure out why I'm in such a blogging slump..
I've got things to say,
I could blog if I actually felt like it but.... I just don't.

What's up with that?

MILESTONE!

2009-12-07T13:47:00.001-07:00

Last night, about 9:15 I sent out a text to a lot of friends and family
that said.............................

drum roll please!!!

"BRYNLEE JUST WALKED!!!!!!!!!!"

I was ecstatic! She's getting sooo big. She walked straight to her Grandpa
(of course, she's madly in love with him.)

oh she's amazing.

my chubba :)

i miss him.

2009-12-04T14:09:00.000-07:00

I miss my grandpa so much it hurts.

I missed him on Thanksgiving.

I'll miss him on Christmas.

I miss him EVERY time I see my dad and realize that he is the only "grandpa" that Brynlee has.

I know I'll miss him when he's not there on my wedding day.

I missed him when my grandma Jana came to visit Brynlee and I in the hospital and he wasn't there.

I'll miss him when I go to all my cousin's highschool graduations and he's not there.
I was blessed enough to have had him at mine. I cried when I saw him. I knew he was proud.

I miss him when we all go up to Temple Square and he's not with us.

I miss him when he's not with us at the family Christmas party.

I'll miss him when he doesn't come to my house on Christmas morning.

I miss him when I look at my uncle Toby who looks just like him.

I miss him when I see the spark gone from his wife Jana's eyes.

I am SO sad that Brynlee will never get to know her Great Grandpa Bud.

I wish that he could see me now.
I'm doing great but I would still love to hear the occasional GREAT advice that he gives.

I just want to hug him again.

I just want to smell him again.

I even want to hear him call me "Whitley Whiner" because that was his nick name for me when I was younger... i was such a whiney brat kid. :)

Today is his birthday.

and I miss him.

I wish I could help my aunt feel better today. He is my grandpa but he is her daddy and she's having a hard day today. I love her with my whole heart. She's my biggest role model and I can't wait to grow up to be just like her.

I'm going to The Christmas Carol at Hale Center Theater tomorrow night and it reminds me SO much of him I could cry. We (the whole family) used to go every year with him and it was the best!

wow...

I miss him.

I love you grandpa.

Grandpa Bud and Grandma Jana

Me, My grandpa and my cousin Chace.

My mom Shelly, My aunt Angie and My grandpa.

having babies?!!!

2009-12-02T13:09:00.000-07:00

haha.. not me. BUT a few other girls I know and I could not be any more excited for them! I've waited a long time to hear "I'm pregnant" come from their mouths or on their blogs! and I don't have to wait any longer!!!!!!!!!! :) I'm so happy for them and I can't wait to see how stinkin' cute their babies will be! LOVE YOU GIRLS!

it got me!!

2009-11-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

So, I must say, I was utterly determined to steer clear of the Twilight Saga and I did just fine up until ALL the hype of New Moon coming to the big screen.

I've officially started Twilight and I'm LOVING it. I can't believe I was so stubborn and didn't read them.

Lol.. there is a good possibility that I'll be "one of those girls" that turns into a freak about Twilight. haha...

I'm looking down at my book and I'm on page 195 to be exact. Not too far into the story but far enough to know I AM HOOKED...

wow.. i'm so excited to keep reading.

Thanksgiving.

2009-11-17T15:39:00.000-07:00

I started a little late in the month of November but I've been changing my facebook status once a day to something that I am thankful for. It's been great. I love to talk about all of the things I'm thankful for. I could go on and on.

well.... What are YOU thankful for?

couponing!

wow wow wow!! I think I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say this but, I wish I knew how to use coupons! I mean, I do but not as well as I'd like to!

I was just reading over a few blogs and dang, these ladies know what they're doing! I'm very envious!

Does anyone know where I could find a class or someone to teach me how to "coupon"? I would gladly pay for this very very useful service! I wish that I would come home from the grocery store and feel like I accomplished something great like saving all that money!!

I only have one request. I would need to do it in person, there is plenty of very useful information online and on blogs but I just have a hard time following "the steps" if I'm just reading them to myself. I don't know if that is how anyone else is but I would love a more personal, direct class rather than paragraph after paragraph of information.

Anyone?? Anyone??

Also, do you guys know anyone like this? Does it just blow your mind like it does mine?? I can't believe some of the stories I hear about people coming home with hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for 20-40 dollars!!! It's so amazing!

maybe someday...

I'll be married.

Goo Goo Dolls - I'll Be

The strands in your eyes
That color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
Of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival
You're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows
Of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out
Burned up
Fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in
Turned on
Remembered the things you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of you life

I don't think that Nick and I have "a song".
but I like that one.
I like my play list too, bunch of lovey dovey songs that make me happy.

What are all your guy's songs?!
or are you like us and don't really have one specifically??

ps.. someone tell Nick to propose.
quick.
thanks!

woo!

Merry Christmas Brynlee. haha.. WE WON!

I won the giveaway over at Not Your Everyday Mommy

and i couldn't be happier!
Thanxxxx Kendahl!
it's sooo cute and I can't wait for Brynlee to get it for Christmas.

haha.. i'm afraid i'm getting myself a little too excited for Christmas.
lol Brynlee will not know what's going on!

you guys!!
I need your help!
What should I expect for my baby girl's first Christmas?
She'll be 11 months and I don't know what to do! haha.. I need help!

I feel like i shouldn't go ALL out because i'm positive that she will like the wrapping paper more than any present that she gets. I know my daughter. haha

but on the flip side i HAVE to go all out!! it's her FIRST Christmas!!

ahhh! what do I do!??

oh and please, any suggestions to keep her away from the Christmas tree???
haha. that'll be a full time job in and of itself!

i don't think i've ever been this upset in my whole life.

2009-10-14T21:32:00.000-06:00

I ran out of formula so I went Walgreens for a quick stop to grab some. Well, I have coupons from Nick's work for free Nestle Goodstart formula well it can be "up to $15.00" and normally the formula is about $15.99 and I just make up the difference. Well NOT this time, he wouldn't accept the coupon. FINE i'm NOT in the mood. i'm tired, it's late and I want to go home, whatever, I just buy the generic stuff and leave. Well, I think to myself, I'll just go down to Albertsons and redeem the last two coupons (out of a 35-40 coupon book) for these cans of formula and as I'm walking to the baby food isle, i slip and FALL, twist my ankle to the point that I'm crying and this lady that is standing there watching it ALL practically runs away. She doesn't HELP me up, she doesn't ASK if i'm okay! NOTHING. I WOULD NEVER ever ever in my entire life watch someone fall and then do nothing.. i would practically sprint to them to make sure that they're okay. no matter what!!! well, i'm sitting there trying not to bawl my eyes out. I slowly stand up and continue walking to get the formula, I grab it and get in line. I wait and wait, and continue trying not to cry and he's finally ringing my things up and is OVER analysing these coupons. I understand why, they seem way too good to be true. A free can of formula for nothing, I don't have to buy anything, nothing.. yeah, i'd check it too.. that's fine. I let him do his thing and then he tells me "it's not the same product" and I calmly explain that they've just changed the packaging and that it is indeed the same item. He voids both cans of formula and just looks at me............. i say "is that it?" Thinking that the transaction was done and he says "well, I can't accept those, it's not the same item" **now i'm thinking** DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes it is! i just broke my freaking ankle in your DAMN store and EVERY other time you've taken these (and so has Walgreens) and you're really not going to take these?!?!?!!!?" UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i've never been so upset in my life. It's like they all saw me coming and they were out to ruin my night! I really couldn't calm down! I just can't believe how each thing set me off just a little bit more.

I SOBBED the whole way home. Practically hypercventalating. You'd think I was on my period or something WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!! i'm so upset and I have every right to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for the swearing, I'm sorry for the one long run on sentence, I'm sorry for any spelling errors, and I'm sorry you just had to listen to me bitch!

plus side?? I'm not crying anymore and venting like this really helped. thanks!

also, now that I look back, i've definitely been more upset. I just wrote this "in the moment" haha.

a give away!!

2009-09-17T19:20:00.001-06:00

so, i know i knowww.. i haven't blogged in like a month! BUT we don't do much. lol i don't have anything to say to you guys without being ridiculously boring and lame but i feel like this is a good enough story so i'll let cha hear it!

Today, I was at Macey's just gettin' some stuff for dinner,

when i see these older ladies running around looking for things.

One says to a Macey's worker:

Lady: ...."no, like a bottle of wine!"

worker: "uhh.. if we have any they'd be down this isle.."

Lady: **storms down the isle and doesn't find what she's looking for**

other lady: "well, do you guys even have liquor stores in utah?"

worker: "liquor stores??" (like that's the devil's playground) "yeahh..."

other lady: "do you know where it's at?"

worker: (simply appalled at this point) "no."

bah hahahaha.. so.. i stop the lady and say:

me: "excuse me ma'am but you could NOT have come to a more conservitave, mormon store! I'm surprised that you even found that beer here.."

lady: "I didn't want to offend anyone by asking where the liquor was... i'm not a bad person because i go to the liquor store! i promise!"

me: "oh i know i know.. you're actually really close, it's just down the street."

I proceed to tell her where it is and she seems grateful.

haha

I just thought it was SO funny that this man from Macey's was in complete shock that she'd even ask if he knew where the liquor store was!

the nerve!

haha..

now, before anyone gets all offended that i said Macey's was for mormons, remind yourself that I too am mormon and I was at Macey's along with all the other mormons haha...

also, don't go thinkin' i'm a bad person because i knew where the liquor store was!

i love you guys! i know you missed me!

oh, also, my spell check isn't working so excuse an spelling errors ha i'm sorry.

oh, and i'm also sorry if it wasn't that funny to you it's possible that it may have been one of those "had to be there..." situations.

2009-08-05T11:44:00.000-06:00

Ladies! I'm so happy to have you! Even if a few of you aren't my IRL in real life friends! ahhh.. you've helped me so much! just talking and venting to you has helped so much! Man, you girls are the first people I'm going to come to for ANYTHING! haha, all of you have been so great! Thanks so much again!

i think something is wrong...

2009-08-03T09:56:00.000-06:00

something is wrong with my relationship. I can't figure out what it is, maybe i'm bored.. maybe i'm too busy. maybe i just want that SPARK back.. i just don't know what it is or what to do.

We've talked about it but i'm not sure that did any good.

I can't figure out if it's going to get worse before it gets better or what....

What the HELL am I supposed to do? We're practically married.. i'm not just going to give up because i can't figure out what's wrong with US. ps.. that's the "norm" for me.. i'm quick to give up. so it's hard for me to stick around and wait for the "worse" to then wait for the "better".

He's convinced it's me, because of my "after the baby" hormones still going crazy AND he "knows" that it's my self esteem too.. (which is true, i've never been this big in my whole life and it's REALLY getting to me.. my body hurts because I don't think i'm supposed to be this big, my little bones can't carry this much weight! I'm getting stretch marks in places that shouldn't have stretch marks and i just wish that i appreciated my high school body because, i was little then but in my own head?? i was still "sooo fat") It's ridiculous how girls think.. why are we NEVER good enough?

I love my Brynlee and i could never ever take her away from her daddy.. no way, i'm not ready to "give up" and she's my reason for that but am i going to stick around and be an grumpy bitch hating my life all the time just so she can be with her daddy?? She's 100% worth it but what is it doing to me??

i will never cheat because i know how that feels.. worst feeling in the world but.... i have all these new "crushes" and all these knew "thoughts" and i SHOULDN'T!
I'm 20 years old.. i should be in the middle of my life and loving it. I should be in the dating scene, or maybe in smack dab in the middle of my "honeymoon" stage.. but i'm not. we're way passed that and i can't go back. i can't get that feeling back. Do i try to find it somewhere else?? no way...

ughhhhh... i could go on and on about it but i don't know what good that will do either!
HELLLLP!
it's been about 3 years together and i think that our relationship has hit a RIDICULOUS plateau... i'm not sure what to do.

Has anyone been in this situation?? Can someone, anyone give me SOME sort of advice...

sorry i'm all over the place, my thoughts are a little scattered today..

hmmm..

2009-07-30T16:50:00.000-06:00

what IS this???

what the???

yellow watermelon??
huuuh?
hmmm... i didn't have the guts (or the funds) to buy it and try it out but i'll be honest, i was a little nervous! i've never seen such a sight!
anyway! tell me if you've seen this before and if you've tried it?!
i'm really curious!

rainbow cake.

2009-07-29T14:07:00.000-06:00

yuup.. i made rainbow cake last night! i was nervous because i didn't know what i was doing but shoot! it was easy and i just winged it so i think i did good!

this is before i frosted it. i was so dang excited to see the inside i just couldn't wait!

this is the cake with my piece missing. (i understand that it looks pretty yucky from the top. lol i needed to frost it!)

and then, i put frosting on it. RAINBOW chip. woo.. it's a good thing i'm clever.. rainbow cake, rainbow frosting.. get it??

now, please understand that i'm no pro, in fact i'm VERY amateur at this whole taking pictures of food thing.. haha, half of them you can see the computer in the background. i get it, i'll work on it for next time BUT in the meantime... compliment me on how cool my cake is! I've seen it before on a blog or two and i figured i'd try it. i really like how it turned out! i'm excited to make it for a family get together. ps.. it tasted great too! wooo!!

Steel Days.

2009-07-24T13:49:00.000-06:00

So, Brynlee, Nick and I went down to American Fork to the car cruise. It's tradition and I've been every year for pretty much my whole life. It was fun, Brynlee had a good time even though she had made another annoying friend. haha.. another boy came up crushin' on my beautiful daughter. However, this little boys parents were great! First the dad came over and said "come on buddy, leave these guys alone" and I said, "No, he's totally fine. He's being good." so he stayed a bit longer but then, he was ALL up in Brynlee's face haha.. his mom spotted him and said "come on, come sit with us again, mommy and daddy think you're cute but not everyone can handle THAT much cuteness. I had to laugh out loud because he was really a great kid, just in that 100 questions a minute stage, which was fine. He was like "What's her name? What's your name? What is she eating? Why is she doing that? Does she like that car? and soooo much more!" I guess it just got me ready for when Bryn Bryn hits that stage.

After that, we hung around for a bit longer but Brynlee got fussy, so I thought to myself, "oh, cousin Chace can take us for a ride!" and he did, and she loved it, we were just ridin' along in a cool car and got all the way to the end of the cruise and got pulled over!!! well, i instantly knew it was because Brynlee was on my lap.
The cop said "you can't have that baby on your lap."
I immediately snapped back
well i'm not walking back???"
and he snapped RIGHT back with
you can have a ticket?!!

so i "UGHHHH"ed and stormed off.. only lets be honest, i'm fat and my daughter weighs over 20 pounds, and it was sooo hot it's not like i was going to get anywhere very quickly. I started off walking really fast because i was so upset but shoot, that just got me all tired. I didn't have my phone so I couldn't call anyone so i walked my butt ALL the way back to my family. I was so freakin' upset.

The cop said "It's for the safety of your baby" BUUUT we were in the parade??? I sat in the back of a truck with her on my lap and that was fine.. what's the difference? whatever, i'm over it and for all I know, that cop just knew that i need some good exercise and that's why he did it.

All in all, we had a good time. Here are some pictures of the night.

This is my Bryn Bryn. (she stopped crying her eyes out to smile for the camera)

this is my nicholas and my bryn bryn. (oh and no, you'll never get a good picture out of nick, well, it's very rare but Brynlee looks cute! haha..)

hey baby!

this was after i got back from walking across town.

haha.. she's SUCH a ham.

love you sweetie babe. even if you're 20 lbs and i have to carry you across town in 101 degree weather.

oh my!

2009-07-20T16:51:00.001-06:00

hahahahaha... of course, i'm bias BUT
does it get any cuter than this????
ps..click on them to make them bigger. they're even cuter then. haha.

look at Brynlee's little arm around her bestie!
OR THIS?

or this?

or this!?

orrr this?!

hahaha.. i don't care how lame this post was she's my world and i think she's the cutest thing on earth and i LOVE to show her off. awww.. i love love LOVE being a mommy. i've said it before and i'll say it again. i can't wait til some of my readers tell me that
THEY'RE PREGNANT!!!

love you all.

ohhh miss brynlee!

2009-07-14T10:02:00.001-06:00

We went swimming and she likes it now!! wahoo!

her little nose kept getting red because she kept trying to eat her little floaty haha.. it was smashing her nose.

heyaa

oh bryn bryn, i love you.

this is brynlee's best baby buddy. say that 5 times fast! Her name is Devlyn.

last picture of the day

it got too windy so we had to get out..

OHHHH
and this kid? freak... he almost drowned my baby girl! little jerk! and he got in just about every picture we were trying to take. and he was drinking the pool water. and he was hanging on brynlee's floaty which is clearly NOT for him.. ugh.. i could go on and on about this little boy. dang. he made our pool experience not so enjoyable.

blurry but there he is..

the worst part?? his mom was RIGHT there saying "don't do that..." "dakota...stop..." like not even looking at what he was doing just hearing that we were continually saying "please stop, please don't do that"

Finally, he got in trouble and had to leave the pool cuz mom said so.. way to finally be a parent MOM.. all i could think when i was looking down at brynlee was "NEVER in your life kid..." haha.. i hope not at least.

Why wouldn't this mom be watching her son? How come this little umm... brat was bugging us so bad? Any mom's out there..(or anyone really) how come i was sad for this boy.. seemed like he just wanted attention but because he was sooo annoying, no one would give him the time of day. :[

i'm sorrrrry.

2009-07-07T09:47:00.000-06:00

it's probably obvious but i didn't take many pictures. haha... here's how the day went, we went boating for about 4-5 hours. (yes, i'm fried).

siiick! if you look close enough, i've got food in my teeth! ohh... my. gross.

nick and tyler on the tube.

when we got back, we showered and got ready really quick. We went to get Brynlee from grandma and grandpa's... we then flew up to Texas Roadhouse and waited a little while, not too long. Well, we got stuck in the back by five thousand other people. It was so packed, they added tables to the booths so that more people could sit at one table, well... we got situated.
Brynlee was fine.....for a minute.....

dinner came and it was good, but we took turns eating because Brynlee wasn't happy to be there. lol. THEN they came to sing to the table next to us.. ya know, happy birthday, the whole deal.. well if you've ever heard that, at the end they say
YEEEEEHAAWWWWWW
Brynlee cried her little eyes out!!!! she's such a scaredy baby.. she gets scared about everything.. well, as she cried it made everyone feel bad so we decided they probably shouldn't come and YEEHAW our way.. so we said no to that... *sniff sniff* it was my birthday.. i wanted that to happen and get my ice cream but i wasn't willing to do that to my Brynlee again... :]

anyway, after that (9 o' freakin' clock) we headed to my mom's, dropped Brynlee off and then we headed to a party.. it was really fun but some chick was hittin' on my man ALL NIGHT LONG! who IS this girl?! well... i was feeling particularly nice so she didn't get beat up.. BUT she did get a talkin' to.. she denied it. whateve. i know my man's hot. lol. my bestie was there and wanted to kill her more than i did.. haha.. what are friends for. :] OH oh OH! and this girl already had a boyfriend....
HE WAS THERE!!!!!

i told him that he could do better than that.. no one wants a girlfriend who's hitting on other guys.

little tramp

haha.. all in all, it was a good night. happy birthday to me.

sorry for the lame post. it's better than nothing right??

Ladies annnnd... Gen....Ladies!

2009-07-03T09:36:00.001-06:00

It's my birthday today. :] I'm going boating and then BBQing. promise there are pictures to come! :] yayyyyy

i gotttt

2009-06-23T09:07:00.001-06:00

a new tattoo.. i can't get a good picture of it so sorry BUT hey, that gives us all the more reason to hang out. you can see it in person that way! :]

the guy said "you did good........ for a minute" hahaha.. oh you mean i'm supposed to just LOVE the feeling of needles shooting into my skin??! man, i missed the memo. anyway, it took like 5 minutes TOPS... it's cool. it's Brynlee's birthdate in roman numerals. mmhm. i'm a bad a. lol i'll try to take more pictures to see if out of 100 i at least get one good one.

that's it ^^^^ BUT it's soooo much cooler on me! haha...

YAYYYY!

wellll! Brynlee won! She won Pleasant Grove's baby contest. First place in the 4-6 month category.

For the judges she was great but towards the end she was soooo tired and sooo hungry! poor baby! these are the only pictures i got because well... that's about all she could handle and it's obvious that she didn't "handle" it well. haha..

we get to be in the parade on saturday! yayyy! come see us! :]

Brynlee got a little trophy

i love you baby! i'm so proud of you!!!!

hahahaha.. now i'm craving cold stone, and sitting here at work there is NOTHING i can do about it. oh well.. maybe just maybe i'll win this fantastic giveaway yumm.. personally i LOVE me some Strawberry Banana Rendezvous. It's strawberry ice cream, with strawberries and bananas and graham cracker crust and white chocolate chips. i always say ex-nay (i know that's pig Latin but can someone tell me what the real word is supposed to be? *red face* =/ ) on the white chocolate i'm not a fan and ask for extra graham cracker crust... oh delish.

how cute is this place?!! ahh!! and so amazing! the menu is short and to the point! haha.. it's such a tiny place so it gets crowded really quickly but it's soo worth it! i got a "make your own" burger and it was great! check out that burger!! i got bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo! haha.. delish

now obviously, you can get whatever you'd like. It's all amazing. I didn't get a picture of the fries but they were awesome too! they have seasoned fries and sweet potato fries! both were sooo good! their fry sauce is a bit like red robin's, ya know the whole fry sauce made with bbq sauce.. it wasn't bad at all.

the girls that work there are super nice! and so cute! :] thanks for being so fun girls! haha.

dun dun dun DAAA the grand finale???

the amazing shakes they make!! wow double wow! they put some ice cream in first and then what??? you'll never guess! A WHOLE PIECE OF PIE! amazing right???? well it was! we got the banana cream pie shake and yup, it was fantastic!

he's having a great time with this.. lol if only you could hear me screaming!! i did NOT want ice cream all over my face when, it could be in mah belly!

*note* this subject is gonna take one more post haha.. i forgot my camera but I have the ones on my phone.

First off, I got up at about 6:30ish on Sunday morning and i make miss Brynlee baby a bottle and then i say to nick.. hunnnyy?? it's mother's day, can i go back to sleep while you take care of baby? he said yes and i went back to bed! wahoo.. that's a great present already! anyway, they both came in at about 9 to wake me up and these are adorable pictures I got.

i love you mama!

cutest smile ever! don't mind nick's head..haha.

just chillin' in my jammies.

love youuu.

that little girl has my entire heart.

after we had a little photo shoot, we got ready and went out to lunch.. lol that's where our story stops today because, i forgot my camera and that's where those pictures are. mmmkay??

thank you very much..

2009-05-12T14:16:00.000-06:00

hmmp. i got my full refund.

mother's day.....

2009-05-11T11:41:00.000-06:00

sooooooo.... I bought 1 dozen cupcakes from SugarPlum Cupcakery I am soooo disappointed. :( dangit.. here we go...

First off, they arrive and i'm SO excited!! Oh man, online, they looked soo great and they have great feedback, I was very excited to be giving these to my family members for mother's day! I get to my house, open them all up and well.... i was shocked!

these are the strawberry cupcakes...No frosting except stuck on the foil ABOVE the cupcakes.

This is the foil above the chocolate cupcakes.

These are the disgusting chocolate cupcakes.

This is the box with the frosting evvvvverywhere...

and this is how i pulled it out of the box.

I was upset...to say the least

Not only did this ruin EVERY mother's day gift I was giving, it left me NO time to get anything else for everyone..ughhhhhhh...

So, I find the business card in the box that was delivered. There was a phone number on the card. *thinkin' to myself* oh okay, i'll just call and get this whole thing sorted out right now." I call the number and it's out of service??????? are you serious?! what sort of company is this?? so then I try a few more times, just in case I dialed the number wrong and NOPE... still got the same message. I am beyond upset at this point! ughhhhhhhh...

I've emailed the customer support and received no answer as of right now.. we'll see if I ever get any response back..

oh, and normally this wouldn't be a complaint, I mean the more cupcakes the better but they gave me 2 dozen crushed cupcakes instead of the 1 dozen I ordered.

i really love Esty!

2009-05-07T13:41:00.000-06:00

Cute Jeans!

2009-04-28T18:46:00.001-06:00

Okay bloggy friends, I have some amazingly cute jeans that i have to sell because, well...lets be honest, i'm kind of FAT and can't fit into them annnd i'm "earning" money to buy a new fancy camera! anyway. here we go

here is the "stock" photo i could find. and i'm going to be completely honest, in my photos, they totally look like girl jeans, in fact, i thought they were girl jeans. i think you'd have to try them on just to see how they fit, anyway here are my photos.

These are the best pictures I could get (because i have a crappy camera, hense the need for a new one!) but they really don't do the jeans justice. If anyone wants to see them in person, let me know. You'll fall in love. I'm selling these Deisel Jeans for $80 they're usually over $150 so, good deal! These have never been worn, and have the tags and all. They are 32 waist and 34 length.

NEXT

These I actually thought I could get into once so.. the tags are off but I never did get my fat butt into them so they have also never been worn. I can't find a stock photo because the tags aren't on them but these are my photos. They are 32 waist and I don't know for sure but if I had to guess I'd say 33-34 length. They're Seven Jeans and I'll sell them for $65. *sorry for the "32" picture. I couldn't get a good one then, my camera died. :(

There is really nothing wrong with these jeans at all, other than the fact that I really don't know the "gender" of the jeans. Please help me out! I'm really sad to see them go, I was convinced that one day, I'd squeeze into them but...i just don't see that day ever coming.

awww!

2009-04-28T10:55:00.000-06:00

remember this??

oh my heavens. i love this little girl.

she just wanted to be like her daddy.

ohmagosh.

2009-04-27T13:53:00.000-06:00

so this isn't only me trying to win this giveaway this is me expressing my LOOOOOVE for Texas Roadhouse.

where should i start??

the first time we'd ever gone we got the best waiter (but really, all of them are so amazing!) anyway.. he was sooo friendly and just so great! i asked "can i have some regular butter?" because they bring you out the cinnamon butter stuff with your rolls and i'm just not a fan of cinnamon and he says "i'll bring you out some regular butter if you at least try this kind" I thought it was funny so i tried it and sure enough it was good but still i didn't love it.. he was shocked but still brought out the butter for me! haha.. both nick and i ended up loving what we got so it was a great visit all around!

visit number 2....valentines day....dun dun dun....

NOT the best idea but we stuck it out and waited 3 hours to eat... still good, still amazing service but we were tired, hungry and just down right angry! lol nothing bad to say about the resturant at all, it was just soooooo packed! that's our fault. won't happen again.

i think there has been a few visits in between this last one but this last one is most memorable.

Our last visit was not last weekend but the weekend before that. We went for my little sister's birthday and sure enough got another amazing waiter! haha.. he was cute too. nicholas wasn't there so i was allowed to look (and smell!) haha.. he smelled so good! great cologne that man was wearing! anyway he waited patiently while we ordered soooo slowly! and he was really funny too. by the time we were all done eating they came to embarrass my sister. She just turned 14 and is in that "i'm too cool" stage and she was soooo mad when they made her sit on the saddle and everyone yelled YEEEEHAWWWWW for her birthday... hey, she got ice cream out of it. she'll be fine. no scars for life. haha..

all around this is my absolute FAVORITE place to eat! i could go every weekend (if i was spending someone else's money haha) I LOVE TEXAS ROADHOUSE!

another great giveaway from Sell...party of 3 check it out! If you've never been to Texas Roadhouse, winning this and going for FREE may just be the highlight of your life!

2009-04-24T14:04:00.000-06:00

-nicholas not having a car.

-my baby brynlee being so congested!

-these crraaa-pay headphones that are attached to my computer and my head right now.
-bills. end of story.

-my ridiculously high car payment..ugh.

-how my face can be oily annnd mega dry at the same time???

-my muffin top. ew.

-speaking of muffin top...my gigantic, humongous, just like a man's appetite.

-my hair. it's boring.

-that last 'thing to go'...i really don't want my hair to go i just need a new do (due? doo? dew?)

-my phone. it is ridiculous. it doesn't hold enough pictures, doesn't text fast enough for my quickie quick fingers and i am sooo over the whole qwerty keyboard fad. ps..qwerty. haha.. that's fun to type.

-my obsession for sub zero.. all it's doing is making that previous 'muffin top' thing STAY.

-my need to just doodle and waste all of my post-its.

-i think i might get killed for this one because really, i'm only saying it because i have no idea about them but *deep breath* *in a high squeaky voice*all the obsession with twilight??? ahhhhhhhhhh.. i knew i shouldn't have said it...!

-my half broken(it's obviously not broken all the way. haha.) computer...c'mon sean i know you can make my computer work again!

-francis working at doba. ugh. i'm embarrassed and he's not even myyy family. i'm sorry jayni. he's awkward. sooo awkward.

-when you get in the car and you're just excited to be off work but your steering wheel is so bloody hot you can't even drive right. yeahh.

-my very expensive trips to the grocery store. ughhh.. that one really can't go. we wouldn't have food if i didn't go to the store but shoot.. maybe i should be more of a penny pincher. *note to self* google 'penny pinching' and work on it.

-the fact that i have every desire in my heart to clean my pigstye house but i really have no time.

-when you walk to the bathroom but forget to grab a tampon.

-me, being pale.

-the pain of laser hair removal. yes, i know it's worth it but does knowing that it's worth it help it not hurt as much? absolutely not.

-just getting paid and thinking "wow, i can't wait til next payday" because all your money is already spent from this payday.

-brynlee's razor fingernails!(even after i clip them) freakin' ouch kid! don't scratch the mama!

-being sore after softball practice (when you literally did nothing) because it just screams "YOU'RE OUT OF SHAAAAAPE".

-every *mmm* single *mmm* bite *mmm* of this damn eclair.

-ohh emm gee! that lady that screeeeamed at me while i was driving. my window was down i'm just cruisin' along and she's like "GET OFF YER PHONE!!!" whoa.. okay lady, i know i know, i'm not supposed to text while i'm driving but sheesh. take a prozac or something. chiiiill out.

-my fear of getting married... that has got to go.

-people who excessively say "i know right?!" the key word is excessively. i'm not trying to call you out valley girls lol i say it too..a little bit.

-when cody makes fun of me for being immature. haha.. what he was talking about was really funny!

-nicholas' puffy hair do (again..due? doo? dew? seriously.) he's got going on. he neeeeds a hair cut.

-the tiny little hint of a headache i have.

-when you already said you would go to the baby shower but now that it's the day, you don't really wanna go.

-the fact that i really want the rest of my sandwich from kneaders but i'm not even remotely hungry.

-this incredibly long post and all of it is me bitching...

-the fact that quite a bit of my 'things to go' are about food or how fat i am..*sighhh* i'm fat.

-people who put the wrong to, (too, two) there, (their, they're) or right (write).

woo.. i think i'm done. haha... have a fantastic weekend bloggy buddies.

oh man...yum

2009-04-24T11:38:00.000-06:00

2009-04-23T15:16:00.000-06:00

Amazing.

The morning cold and raining,
dark before the dawn could come.
How long in twilight waiting
longing for the rising sun
ohoh ohoh Oh ooh

You came like crashing thunder
breaking through these walls of stone
You came with wide eyed wonder
into all this great unknown
ohoh ohoh Ohoooh Oohh

Hush now don't you be afraid
I promise you I'll always stay
I'll never be that far away
I'm right here with you

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
You are

You came from heaven shining
Breath of God still flows from fresh on you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this one so new
ohoh ohoh Oooh ooohhh

No matter where or how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...

I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true at last
I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing...

You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
You are
ooooooo

Brynlee, you're so amazing. you're my whole world. i can't imagine my life without you. i'm so blessed to be your mommy. i can't wait to see you grow up and become the wonderful woman i know you'll be.

amazing by: janelle.

wow..

2009-04-09T09:18:00.000-06:00

If you care about someone, tell them you love them ALL the time. Even if it's annoying. It won't matter if they truly care about you too.

Forgive and Forget. Probably one of the hardest things you could ever be asked to do. It's been tough for me but I actually think I've done it. I love you Nicholas, I completely forgive you and have forgotten. Let's move on.

Be grateful for EVERYTHING you have.

Don't take ANYTHING for granted.

Recently, a very close friends of ours was very badly hurt. Right now, he is on full life support and isn't doing well.

He has so much to live for and so many people that care about him. He HAS to make it through this.

He has two boys. Jaydon and Jaxon. Jaydon is 4 and Jaxon is about 6 months.

I can't imagine these adorable boys not having their amazing daddy.

This hits hard because he's one of our best friends AND I don't know what I would do if I ever lost my Nicholas. I don't know how I would ever tell Brynlee that she doesn't have a daddy.

I feel awful today. I feel so bad for Jacklyn...She's such an amazing girl. I just wish I could hug her right now.

I love you guys so much. Jared, you can make it through this! We're praying for you.

back to blogging.

i'm back! i'm back at work, i'm back to normal (no more CRAZY hormones, no more huge pregnant belly) i'm back! :] pssst.. i don't know if you know this but guys?!!! I'M A MOMMY!!!!!! it's amazing. i couldn't have asked for a more amazing present! Thank you so much Heavenly Father i'm SO grateful!

When Brynlee was born i was in shock! it was a great experience but it was sooo hard! wow.. haha.. one word? ouch. Also, she was (and still isn't) the happiest baby around.. sometimes she's just sad and fussy and it makes mom sad and cranky! haha.. we took her to the doctor to see if something was wrong but all we were diagnosed with was "a fussy baby" THANKS! haha.. she's a brat like her mommy i guess... well she's cute like me too!

she's growing so fast and it's crazy! haha.. i swear she's so big already! the doctor says she's BIG and TALL just like her daddy.
97% in her height
97% in her weight
her head circumference is in the 50% haha.. tiny head.

she's perfect. her skin is so smooth. her eyes are so big and beautiful. her lips are so tiny and perfect. i love her so much. it's amazing. i can't wait for all you readers (marquee, shelby, jayni, jill... haha.. anyone reading this!) to have babies if you don't already it will be the greatest!

oh and she is sooo boy crazy!! haha.. already?? seriously?! i thought this would be at least 12 or 13 years down the road!! haha.. she LOVES her daddy! so much! and any boy that she comes in contact with! haha.. she smiles SO big for daddy, and grandpa and her uncles! haha.. it's the best!

She doesn't LOVE her bath but she tolerates it.. haha.. she used to HAAAATE them so at least things are getting better because well, she HAS to bath sooo she has to get used to it!

haha.. she's an allllright napper. i wish it was as easy as "she gets tired so she falls asleep" ughhh.. it is SO not that easy??? why is it that she would rather CRY AND CRY AND CRY before letting herself just fall asleep?? i don't get it!

anyway!

i love her sooo much and i can't wait to watch her grow up!
