We are back!

So I havent really gone anywhere but Jenson lost my memory card to my camera like 2 months ago and I just barely got a new one!

So I dont have very many pics as of now but one of my very best friends got married yesterday so I have a few pics from the day. I dont have any of Joey...sorry, its not like it was your day or anything :)! I have been friends with Nikki for 5 years and she has been dating Joey for 4 of the 5 years on and off. I have always just loved Joey and rooted for them to get married but Nikki just wanted to take her sweet time! She even went on a mission in the 4 years. Anyways I am so happy for them! They are perfect for eachother and we just love both of them so much!

Me and the gorgeous bride!


Us!

My little studly boy! He wasnt feeling very well so it wasnt very easy to get him to smile...or even look at me on that note!

I didnt feel it was right to not have a picture of Joey since this was his day too...so I stole this from his facebook...your welcome!


I will try and post more often now! Especially with the holidays coming up and such!

INTRODUCING...

Little Girl Twirls!

I am SO excited to start selling little girl dresses/skirts to match my ties! I have had so many requests and finally decided it was time to expand my little business! I couldnt do this without my very talented mother in law...thanks Marilyn! These are just the first of many more to come!

Also if you are ever looking for an amazing photographer...go to childhoodexpressions.blogspot.com...she does an amazing job!

What we have been up to...

I have been SO busy with the tie making business I have had no time to sit down and let everyone know what we have been up to! So here are the updates...no pics today but I will have some soon!

Me- I have been sewing like crazy! My sister and I are trying to get this big boutique that we are putting on together ready...we have some GREAT vendors that are going to be there! I will post a list soon and details of when and where! I just started a little girl dress line to match my ties! Since I have been so busy with the ties my Mother in law is going to be sewing the dresses/skirts...which is great because she is seriously one of the greatest seamstress of all time...I kid you not! We are taking some professional pics of them tomorrow so hopefully I can post some pics of this week! Other than that I have just been being a mom and wife and loving it!

Brian- So Brian is one of the hardest working people I know and he proves over and over again! We are trying to get our condo ready to put up for sale this month and Every second Brian is home he is working on our condo to help get it ready! He just started school...full time...works...full time...and is a husband, father, and carpenter...full time! AND he never ever complains about it! I am so lucky that he is my husband...he is the best! He has about 2 more semesters til he gets his associates degree...I know, I know! But at least he is making progress right?! He turns 26 in a week! And that is pretty much it with him.

Jenson- Jenson is SO fun! He definitely keeps me on my toes all day! He is to the point where he tries to say what you tell him to...that has been so fun! He can be a handful sometimes though that is for sure! If he wants something and I wont let him have it...he tells me NO...or yells it :)! He is seriously the cutest little boy ever! I am totally biased I know!

So that is what is going on with us! Hope you all are well!

Jenson has a new toy!!!

So Jenson is in love with chrissy(our dog)old bed! But dont you worry because chrissy has never been fond of it so it technically has never been used...plus I say whatever entertains the kid is ok by me! He seriously can play in it for an hour! He likes to lay in it like a dog too! Here is the proof!

P.S. Dont mind the mess of toys!





Oh and one more picture! What is Jenson holding you ask??? Yep its a dead dragonfly! Sick! That is right before he crumbled it in his hand too! Thanks grandpa for making sure my little boy is sure to experience little boy things...if it wasnt for you he wouldnt...at least the holding dead bugs thing!

Freakin' Appendix!!!

Seriously no one even knows why we have it! Its just there to make our lives difficult! So I guess you know what this is about! I had my freaking appendix out a week ago! It seriously was such a joke! On Tuesday night around 10 I was sitting at the computer and all of the sudden I got really sick to my stomach...almost like a burning pain. I took some pepto and it almost seemed to have gotten worse. Well obviously it didnt go away after about 2 hours of constant pain I decided that I should probably go to the ER. Brian called his dad and he came over around 12:30 to stay with Jens. So anyways, they ruled out everything else it could be, had me have a CT scan and then found out it was appendicitis. So they scheduled an emergency surgery and I survived! Ha! So the last week has been a little crazy! I was super sad I had to miss the 24th festivities...if you know me you know that and the 4th are my favorite holidays...so it was a bummer! But I am lucky to have such great family around to help me with Jens. Also great ward members to bring us dinner! I am pretty much better...still a little sore but the doc said that probably wont change for another week or more. I feel very lucky that it wasnt worse. Trust me I have heard horror stories about an appendix bursting and have always been afraid of that happening to me even before all of this. So there is the update! It was a sad one I know! Next time I will make a happy one!

4th of July!

We had an awesome 4th this year. On July 3rd we went to fireworks at Eaglewood with Brians brother Mike and his wife Karly, and my sister Crystal and her family. It was really fun! Jenson wasnt lovin it so much but he layed on me the whole time so I was ok with it! Then we went to the Centerville parade with the same people minus Mike and Karly. Then that night we went to Dougs(my bro in law) parents house and had a picnic and played a little badminton...Alicia and Kyle were with us! Then we went to Brians aunt house and they had about a million fireworks to light off so we were there til about 1130...way past Jensons bedtime! He layed on me again the whole time and would only let me hold him...which was totally cute and never happens and I loved it! So the bad news is I only took pics of the parade so I stole some of my sisters from her blog. So here we go with the pics...

Brian and I

Crystal, Doug, Aves and Jack

Brian and Uncle Mike playing catch with Jenson...he loved it! I was scared!

Avery giving Jens kisses upside down...he thought it was hilarious!

Aves loves the camera! I love Aves!

Isnt he just the cutest?!

Jens and daddy having fun!

Jenson is pretty much scared of anything loud...so Brian had to cover his ears while the firetrucks went by.

Jack and Jens...yep thats right they were twinners and we(Crystal and I) loved it!

Ties!

So I have been making some ties for Jenson and my nephew Jack. I know that they are pretty much impossible to find for babies unless it is a holliday and they are too cute on little guys! So I decided that I am going to start selling them! I can pretty much make any size. I am going to sell them for $10 BUT right now I am going to do a special for $8. So let me know if you are interested! Email me at jodeepettingill@yahoo.com. You can either pick them up from my house or I can deliver them or even ship them if you live far away. Here is some sample pics of the fabric that I have and some pics of Jens and my nephew Jack wearing them!

Jenson's first birthday!!!

Jenson turned 1 on June 1st and boy did we party!!! We had it at my grandpas farm and it was seriously SO much fun! Here are the highlights...


My aunt was nice enough to saddle up the horse so that the kids could ride it. Jenson did not really like it to much...



Pinata time!!! We ended up hitting the pinata in the barn...it was such a fun setting!





This is the cake that Crystal and I made...it rocked! The barn ended up falling off on the way to the farm which was so sad because that took Crystal forever to make...she made it out of little debbie cakes...can we say talent...

Wondering why everyone is singing...

Jens and I blowing out the candle!

Jenson was not a fan of the cake! He was so concerned about having it all over his hands. He ended up throwing the cake off the high chair and shaking his hands, wiping them on his shirt but he couldnt get it off so then he just cried...it was really funny!



Mike and Karly being silly.

Jack just chillin waiting for Jens to start opening his presents...your next little guy!

Trying to get Jens to open his presents...he just wanted to get down and play!

Cute shoes!

He seriously got so much stuff we dont have room for it in our condo!

Thanks everyone for coming!!!

Oh and it was our 3rd anniversary too! We will be celebrating it this weekend!
