Thankful!

Well since yesterday was Thanksgiving I just wanted to express how thankful I am for my life!

I seriously have the best life ever! I have an amazing family, great friends, the gospel, the best husband and baby! Oh the list just goes on and on! My life is far from perfect though thats for sure. I have been thinking a lot lately about what makes me/people happy. Ever since I have stayed home with Jenson, Brian and I have struggled with money and it has been very stressful! I have come to the conclusion that even though we have struggled so much lately I would not change it for the world! I love staying home with Jenson...he is my biggest accomplishment and greatest blessing. With that said I just want to say thanks to all of the support our family gives us! They seriously are the best! My sister is the best sister anyone could ask for! If I need to get out of the house she lets me just go hang with her...I even get a free lunch out of it every once and a while...ok more often than not:), if I need someone to talk to about anything she is always there to listen and give advice. I couldnt ask for a better sister! Honestly, I couldnt ask for a better family...on both sides! They are all so caring and so full of charity! I love them all so much! I have learned so much from them! I have so much to be thankful for but my family is at the top of my list...and the gospel because I wouldnt have the life I have without it!

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I would suggest if you havent already sat down and made a list(even just in your head) of everything you are thankful for or if you are having a rough time full of trials(which, lets face it most of us are, if not all) just think about all of your blessings and it always will out weigh your trials...by far! I love you all! Thanks for all you do for us!

Updated Pictures...

Sorry it has taken so long to update my blog. My computer was not letting me download pictures from my camera...super frustrating! So anyways...Jenson is getting so big I can barely keep up with him! Here are the latest pictures of our little bug! Sorry for the picture overload...




Jenson absolutely loves our dog Chrissy and Chrissy loves Jens. She just laid down on her back right next to him and they were just hanging out!

So Jenson pretty much has the biggest head ever(like his dad). So Brian put his beanie on him and it fit! It was a little long but totally fit over his head...so funny!

Jenson fell asleep holding his toy.

Here are just some funny ones of Jenson sleeping.


We got to go to Chuck E Cheese because my neice finally was potty trained so they had a little party for her.

Going Private!

So I finally decided it is time to make my blog private. I dont want to but I think I should after hearing some horror stories. So leave me your email address so I can invite you even if you "blog stalk" our family just come forward and I will invite you too...Im not a hater, I do it too! Thanks!

Halloween!!!

We had such a fun Halloween! We went trick or treating with Crystal and Doug and their kids. Avery and Jack were monkeys and Jens was a banana! Here are some pictures...






Jenson likes bananas...

My Dad...

This is my family at Crystals wedding 10 months before my dad passed away. He was only 43.

It has been 5 years since my dad passed away from cancer. I remember that day so well. My dad had been in the hospital and I had visited him the day before. It was a sunday and he just seemed like he was doing so well that day. He told me that he was hungry and he wanted me to go to the store and get him something to eat before I went back to Orem. I was going to Utah Valley at the time. So I went to Albertsons and got him a blueberry muffin and an orange juice. I went back to the hospital and told him that I would see him the next weekend. I remember leaving and just crying uncontrolably even though I truly believed I would see him again in a week. The next day I went to school and when I got home I was going to go to the store with my roommate when my sister called and said that my dad probably wouldnt make it through the night. So I threw everything in a laundry hamper and headed home. When I got to the hospital my dad was completly different. He was so out of it I couldnt believe how different a day had made. So my family sat in his room while his friends came and went to say their goodbyes and then he passed away at 11:45.

It makes me sad that my dad was never able to meet Brian and be at our wedding and it makes me sad to know that he never got to meet Jenson and see him grow up. But I know that he is an angel watching over me and my family and I know that I will see him again. I love and miss you dad!
