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!

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!

I WILL Have this Bike!!!

SO...here is the dealio! As you all know Brian now works for a bike store. So...well...now I have to have a bike and I really want this awesome beach cruiser!! Well everyone I tell about this amazing bike is like...WHY would you choose to get a beach cruiser and not a mountain bike...we live in Utah! Well here is the deal people...I will NEVER go mountain biking...I am too afraid!!! I am only going to cruise around town with the hubs so why not invest in a stylish cruiser, right?! Not to mention that it is totally cute, it also will be SO much more comfortable to ride then a mountain bike! SO...



...DONT JUDGE ME!!!

I will let you all know when it has arrived...I will even post some pics of me and make you all want to have one as well!

News...From Us!

SO I know I have been the worst at updating my blog lately...so sorry! The problem is that I forget to take my camera places so I have no pictures...I really need to be better about that!

So things have been really great around here! Brian is LOVING his new job working for my Brother in law at Masherz...they just moved to redwood road and about 500 south in Woods Cross...so if you are in the area go check it out...its a really great place!

Brian finished up with school for the semester the beginning of April so he has had more free time then he has had in a few years...not a owning a business has been amazing!

We are headed to Colorado Springs in 2 weeks for some training for Brians new job...we will be there for 2 weeks! I am kind of sad to be leaving home and sleeping in a Hotel for that long but very grateful that my brother in law is letting me go with him! I dont know what I would do without Brian for that long!

Oh some good news...Me, my sister Crystal, and my mom are going to San Francisco the second weekend in June to see WICKED and just have a girls weekend! I am so excited I can barely stand it! Crystal tried to get us tickets for Wicked for Christmas and even stood in line at 4 in the morning and still didnt get them so we are SO excited to be able to go...I hear it is amazing!

Jenson is doing great! He will be 1 a month from today! I cant believe how fast time flys by! He is such a sweetheart and I cant imagine our family without him! Well that is all with us I will try to get some pictures on here soon!
