Owen tried baby cereal, Oatmeal, for the first time. 

He didn’t like it.. um.. AT ALL! 

Little did we know, this was the start of an extremely difficult eater. Since then he only likes milk, cereal, and chicken nuggets. Oh son, what am I going to do with you?!?

 Guess its time to buy boy bibs. We only have girls colors I guess.
 Insert.... 
And Eject...!

Trent and Lauren Get Hitched!!

January also was my good friend, Lauren’s Wedding. It was a beautiful day and I was so happy to be a part of it. She got married in the Mount Timpanogos temple and her reception was at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course in Orem. 
Congrats Lauren and Trent. They are the cutest couple and are so in love it makes me SICK! :) 
Garron was out of town and bummed to have missed it. Garron and Lauren have been friends for many years and Garron was the one who actually introduced me to Lauren. She is a great friend and we just don’t get to see enough of each other. 

(Dont judge, I havent had a chance to loose the baby weight :) But its coming along slowing)

Well let’s start with January…

January was full of a couple birthdays: My brother, Brett, my nephew Brayden, and my good friend Marci.

We celebrated Brett’s bday at Chili’s.. Yummy! 


And Marci’s at Chick-Fil-A, another YUMMY!


For Brayden’s birthday, we went over and had a yummy ice cream bar, watched Brayden get all messy and enjoyed visiting with the family. Thanks for having us over Kyrina! Happy Birthday Bray!


Over a year since the last post.... Are you kidding me!?!

Alright folks, or just wasted space of the inter-web, I am going to attempt to update this blog because we are alive and we do more then just sit and watch Diego on Nickelodeon. Actually now that I think about it, that is usually what we do EVERYDAY.

So here goes the update from the beginning. More then a year of updates. I will understand if you now delete me from your blog roll. If you haven't deleted us, I thank you, and advise you to stay patient and any and all encouragement is appreciated.

Thanks folks!

Halloween 2010... A Little Late???


Garron was gone again this year for Halloween but that didn’t stop us from the festivities. Olivea was a Lady Bug and Owen wore Livy’s costume from last year and was a Duck. They looked so cute.
             We went to my parent’s ward activity. They usually have a “carnival” with activities for the little kids and dinner and dessert for everyone. My parents were actually in Hawaii I think, so Shelby, Parker, Bryce and me and the kids went to the party to get some use out of the costumes. I didn’t want to take Olivea and Owen around Trick-or-Treating by myself and it was raining all day and night. Plus they are so little that I could get away with just taking them to ward functions and they wouldn’t know the difference.

We also went to my ward activity were we just had dinner and pictures taken. We sat with the McClellan family and Marci got her whole family all dressed up. I could barely recognize her!
                It was a fun year but it will be so fun once Olivea and Owen want to dress up like something specific and we can take them around the neighborhood showing off their cute costumes. Till next year I guess.

Playing Catch up Once Again...

Lets start with Owen's Blessing:
We had to do Owen’s blessing on Oct. 10th at our home and I will explain why. My grandparents were leaving for Hawaii on the 17th, Garron had to work and his schedule was so crazy that he flew in that Sunday morning and had to leave the next day and wouldn’t be back till the next Sunday evening and then my grandparents left the next day. So we originally were going to have it at the church building but for some reason Michael and Amy booked flights for Saturday night and had to drive back Sunday night to get to work on Monday. They booked them before we knew we could change the date. Something happened with Garrons schedule where we were going to do it the next week but by that time Michael and Amy had already bought flights.
Confused yet??? Me too!!!
                We had a ton of people come to support us and for that I am truly grateful. Those that had to drive back to Vegas didn’t stay long after the actual blessing and food but I am glad they were able to make it.
Owen looked so handsome and Garron did a wonderful job blessing him. We had a baked potato bar with all the toppings. Plus my mom made her amazing chili and also had cornbread for those that didn’t want a potato. I made Texas Sheet Cake for dessert and I think it is safe to say that we were all very full.

It was a wonderful day and I am grateful for my husband and that he holds the priesthood to be able to bless our children and bless our home like I grew up thinking my hubby would. I love you Garron!

I had all the men of Owen’s immediate family go outside and take pictures
               I love that I have those pics but the grass was wet and we ended up having everyone dry off their shoes with a towel before coming back in.
