Justin, Jamie and Ava

Halloween, Thanksgiving, 8 & 9 months...OH MY!!

2011-12-21T16:09:00.000-08:00

We went down to the pumpkin patch in Santaquin and i think Ava had a pretty fun time playing with the pumpkins! We sat her on this truck that had a TON of pumpkins and she just played all over them and had a blast!

This Is my favorite picture of her ever!! I love that smiling face!

This was Ava eating her yummy Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and gravy!! YUMMY!

Every month I try to get pictures of her on her "birthday" and i usually put a number by her, but she wanted to eat the number instead! She seemed pretty happy about it, so i just let her! This was probably the best picture i got of her. She just wants to wiggle and crawl everywhere! Hence the blurry picture of her!

This was her 9 month picture and i kinda gave up on the number thing. I think that I'll remember how old she is around christmas time. She loved playing with the lights and thought it was pretty cool. And again, she wouldn't sit still for the life of me! But she is to cute to even care!

Miss Ava loves her tubby time! We took a bath together and we had to add lots of bubbles and I'm sure we were in there for about 20 min or so. She couldn't get enough. She kept eating them and putting them on her face ( with our help of course). Oh and she Absolutely HATES showers. She has a sad face the whole time and cries...

SInce My Ava is so tiny I figured i would put her in a pumpkin and she actually didn't mind it much. Going through all the pictures was funny, she never had her arms down farther than this. She usually had them out to the side or over her head. Cant blame her though, thats a freaking cold pumpkin!

This girl is my favorite ever!! She is so fun and does all sorts of things now.

She goes up the stairs about every chance she can get, and thats about a million times a day!
She learned how to drink out of a straw...totally random.
She Still LOVES Elmo
If she could eat all day, I'm pretty sure that she could
She is such a mommies girl and i pretty much have to hold her all day
She is still way to tiny! 15 pounds at 9 months ( 2%) and 26.5 in ( 15%) i love my tiny!
She says momma and dada but only if she really wants something

I seriously couldn't imagine my life without this little person! She is a lot of work, but oh man...she is so worth it!!

Just Because...

2011-09-08T10:05:00.000-07:00

My mom is crazy and I love her!

Grandmas Cabin

2011-09-08T09:53:00.000-07:00

She was so tired! she had a long, fun weekend!
Its a Tradition to always carve your name in the tree every time you go!
Ava snuggling Grandpa Tom
Her eating marshmallows and she loved it! I think she had 2!

And whats marshamallows without hot chocolate. Grandma Tom Shared with her!

We had the pleasure of going up to my Grandmas Cabin over labor day weekend. I hadn't been there in probably over 10 years and i'm so glad we were able to go! I love this place and it has so many fun memories for me! We all had so much fun just hanging out and finding all the old fun stuff we used to play with. Plus it was Ava's first trip!

5 And 6 Months!

2011-09-08T09:38:00.000-07:00

She is hard to get pictures of lately! She just wants to be a wiggle worm all the time! i dont think she ever sits still.

Im so in love with that smile!

So my little miss Ava is already 6 months old! so so crazy and went by fast but slow..? Not sure how that works!

She Loves her binky and when she doesn't have it she either sucks on her fingers of her lip and tongue!
She moves all over that place! She wiggles and rolls across the whole family room
She fell of the bed for the first and last time :(
She loves people! I don't think she minds strangers as long as i'm holding her. She smiles like crazy for them
Loves loves food! She will eat anything, anytime.
Loves her mommy and daddy!
Started to make baba, mama, dada, sounds. To bad they don't mean anything yet!
She loves going on walks she just sits and enjoys!
We took her on her first trip to my Grandmas cabin and she did so well and had lots of fun!
Any time she can get her hands on my hair..she does! When i change her i put my hair down so she can play and sit still!
She loves our dog Beans! she will sit and smile at her and loves when she licks her hands
She is so so so TINY!! She only weighs 12lbs 12 oz at 6 months..2% on the charts. I feel like i have a newborn again because i have to feed her every two hours now. Hopefully she starts packing on the weight or who knows what things we will have to do. (she only gained half a pound in 2 months)
And since she is so tiny..0-3 month clothes still fit her.
She loves watching Dora, Baby Einstein and Elmo

We just love her so so much and are so happy that she is our sweet little Girl! I cant get enough of her!

You wouldnt think, but Ava is a pig!

2011-09-08T09:29:00.000-07:00

Yes thats Bacon...YUCKY!!!

THis little girl absolutely loves her food!! She sure can eat just like her daddy! I started her at about 5 months, she was sure ready! She would pound two bowls of oatmeal cereal plus nursing and some fruits or veggies. Plus everything i eat she has to have some or else she freaks out! and she pretty much likes everything i have given her so far..even peas..yuck! I think she likes the food i have better than mushy baby food but she doesn't complain..to her food is food!

I dont know if you already know this....

2011-07-29T12:38:00.000-07:00

I love my Family!
Im in love with this little girl and that amazing man!

Growing and Rolling

2011-07-08T09:33:00.000-07:00

My little Ava girl is growing so stinking fast! She is a wiggle worm already. Turning into a battle when its time to change diapers and clothes. She wants to roll over all the time! and even better she is already tucking her knees under to crawl....really? she is only 4 months old!

Here are some other fun things about her

She is tiny!! 12lbs 2 oz -16%

Sleeps about 8-10 hours a night! happy mommy :)

Loves her daddy more than i ever thought

Loves to play and stare at beans

She found her feet and sucks on them a lot

Loves putting everything in her mouth

She had her first trip to the zoo and swimming

Started to laugh..and smiles all the time!

Loves men...not sure i like that one.

She is like her daddy and wants to move all the time!

Loves her cousin Gracie

Got a nick name ABA from Cousin Grant

Always smiles for Cousin Bella

She sure has a temper! when she gets mad...she is mad!

There is alot more about her, but i dont want to bore you! She has been so much fun and keeps getting more fun each and every day! We love her so so so so so so much!

Birth Story!

2011-05-03T16:30:00.001-07:00

I know that i really like to read peoples birth stories so i figured that i would share mine. :)

Well at about 39 weeks i hadnt dilated at all since 36 weeks. Dr.Nance was bringing up the idea of a c-section just in case. I really thought she would drop in the next week and have no problem. Well a day after my due date i went in for my check, and she was still high and i was still only dilated to a one!! Seriously..Then i was informed that if i didnt go into labor i couldnt be induced for another week. I lost it. Thank goodness my mom and sister were there with me. Well Dr. Nance scheduled a stress test to make sure everything was going ok. And we were still talking about the possibility of a c-section. So on wednesday morning i went in completley onery and dissapointed that i was 3 days over. They hooked me up and her fluids were good, her heartbeat was good and i was freaking out! Then they did my blood pressure, and it was high. Then they did it again and it went up! Is it bad that i wanted high blood pressure?!?! I was extremely swollen and they were worried about pre-eclampsia even tho 2 days earlier i was fine. Dr.Nance came in, winked at me and told me with those numbers my sweet baby would be born today! Man was i excited! I called Justin and told him to get his butt in the car and head home. With justin still at least two hours away, my awesome dad came and sat with me. He made my blood pressure go down. Imagine that?

I was hooked up and ready to go to get this baby out! Dr.Nance didnt even want me to try labor because he thought she was to big, and still way to high. and to be honest i had a moment of sadness but soon got over it. I wouldnt have to push, and she would have a great shaped head! My c-section kept getting pushed back because they were so busy with emergencies. Finally at around 4:15 i was taken back. I wasnt really nervous just so excited. Justin watched the whole thing. They were tugging and telling me she was a big baby....she just didn't want to come out. Especially when they popped my bag of water there was maconium (spelling?) so they were rushing to get her out. The other doctor had to basically stand on my belly and push to get her out while Dr.Nance pulled. They finally got her out and she was born at 4:59 pm. Her cry was the most beautiful thing i had ever heard! She weighed 7lb 9oz so not big i guess she just wanted to stay nice and warm!

The c-section was so painful but im glad i did it. It was way safter for her after all anyways!

Sorry its so long i just have lots to say apparently!

2 months!

2011-05-03T16:13:00.001-07:00

We have had a great two months so far!! She turned two months yesterday and had to get the dreadful shots! But she was good enough to let me get some pictures of her and they turned out great!

Look at that sweet face!

Her Easter basket! I know she is way to young to even have any idea, but she is my first so i have to make things exciting. She got a book, a movie, mr.potato head, and a bunny. And of course her cute easter dress.

Our first time at church for both of us! And it was easter, what a great to go back!

I Painted her fingernails and toenails and it turned out so good and cute! I just had to do it. and we have many other times they will be painted.

She now weighs 10lb 4 oz. 34%

She is 22.5 inches tall. 57%

She smiles like its going out of style.

She has slept thru the night a couple of times and usually only gets up once when she doesn't.

She is such a great baby. I got lucky

She loves to play with daddy, but snuggle and sleep with mommy.

She still seems so tiny to me. But looks so big at the same time.

This little girl is our world!

2011-04-05T14:57:00.000-07:00

I tried to do a little photo shoot of my pretty and the pictures turned out actually really good. The shoot ended with her peeing every where! She is one good baby!

Ahhhhh i love love her! She just started smiling a little here and there and i finally caught it on camera! I love her fluffy hair. She had just got a bath. It starts curly then goes straight up and beautiful!!

So these two people...i appreciate WAY more than i thought. Given me being a mom so far has been pretty easy. I was truly blessed with one amazing baby but the tiredness, the fat, the times where she just wants to be up at 3 am for hours. My parents did it and had to make the decisions that i will soon have to face. So thanks mom and dad for doing a pretty darn good job raising me! I'm excited for you to see me try to attempt doing as good as job as you two did!

I fell in...

2011-03-16T16:26:00.000-07:00

I told myself i would never do the whole private blog thing but now that my pretty is here.... i cant resist and im now a protective mom and like to keep the viewings to people i know!

So comment or email me your email and you will be good to go!!

ya...shes pretty and im obsessed!

2011-03-10T19:23:00.000-08:00

We went and got Ava's pictures done. newborn pictures are my favorite! especially my little girls!
And i dont need to write much cuz her pictures do all the talking!!!

ENJOY!!!!

Ava Mae Crowther

2011-03-08T11:50:00.000-08:00

She is here!!!
Ava Mae Crowther
Born March 2, 2011. 7lbs 9 oz and 18 inches long

Sorry for the long post but stick with me!

sorry for all the pictures but with how cute she is...can you blame me?
So my last post was horrible and now i cant believe she is actually here.
On wednesday my dr ordered a stress test to make sure the baby was doing ok since i was overdue. within being on the monitors for 20 minutes they knew she needed to come that day. she was perfect but i was hugely swollen and my heart rate and blood pressure was way high. I was so excited! i was about to have a baby in a few hours!
I got admitted into the hospital and Dr.Nance decided that a C-section was the way to go to getting her out. I really didnt care as long as she got here. So i got my epidural and waited. They had a few emergency ones then it was my turn.
They came and got me and wheeled me in! they prepped me and it was time! I was SO numb i had no idea that they had even started. I had the best anesthisiologist ever! Justin was able to watch the whole thing happen and even got really cool pics.
Once they got the point to take her out she was stuck! she did not want to come out! The other doctor was bascially laying on my belly to push her out, and wow i couldnt breath! with a lot of tugging and pulling she was born! She pooped in the fluid so they had to rush to get her suctioned out but not before i saw her, and she had lots of beautiful hair and i just bawled! I had my baby girl here! They evaluated her and she didnt breath any maconimum in and was perfect as ever. They brought her to me and i got to finally see what i had been carrying around and feeling for the last 9 months.
Since i had to stay in recovery for about an hour and half after she was born i couldnt hold her until then. but wow was she worth the wait!
Both me and baby are doing really good. Except for the fact that i had my belly cut open! I am on cloud 9 with being a mom and seeing how beautiful my baby is. And to say the least we are OBSESSED with her. Justin is infatuated with her and she is already our little princess!!

well passed....

2011-02-28T12:48:00.000-08:00

I am one day past my due date and i am not a happy camper. i went to the doctors today and NO CHANGE! i have been the same for 4 1/2 weeks. and she is still really high and doesn't want to move down. I was hoping to be induced on wednesday but since my cervix isn't "favorable" he scheduled me for a stress test on wednesday instead. and it all goes from there. i even had to make an appointment for next monday. which would be a week and a day after my due date.
He is leaning toward a c-section, and to be honest i don't care either way i just want her here and to be done being pregnant.
Hopefully i don't go that long over my due date..or im pretty sure no one would want to be around me at all...even today im sure no one wants to be around me, even my dog has secluded herself!!
I just need to tell myself that she at least she is a healthy baby and that im healthy and that we have been really lucky this far so i shouldnt complain..

But can i just this once?

2011-02-25T16:00:00.000-08:00

Back in september we got the best vacation ever! we got to go to the ellen show! And can i tell you i seriously love love her! They dont let you take your camera to her show so i dont have pictures there but i have the memory!
Before the show we did a tour thru Warner Bros. studio and i loved every second of it. We got to see a bunch of cars used in movies and props and everything. the best was we got to be up close and personal to the FRIENDS set at central perk. Everything was the exact same and it was so neat to see it.
The couch from Inception was the one justin loved the most. Its his favorite movie. They also had props there that were worth more that 2 million dollars a piece.
I want to go back again because it was so much fun! even tho when we went it was the hottest Burbank CA had all year.

2011-02-25T15:18:00.000-08:00

Excuse the fact that i am HUGE!! but i am 39 weeks and so ready to have this baby! She doesnt want to come tho she is nice and comfy inside.
I have turned into a bad blogger but i will get better i promise!

This handsome did have a birthday!! He is 25 years old now! We were wishing that he could have a birthday baby but that didnt happen. Justins favorite thing is the red velvet cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory so my dad drove me up there to get him some. and we pounded it! and thanks to him having a birthday....we have a beautiful new mac computer!
And we just have one exciting life!!
And to share the good news again...Justin moved home and its been so nice to have a husband that is home after 8 hours. it makes my day so much better and happier and hopefully next time that i update it will be about out little ladies arrival!

Im still around and still pregnant!

2011-02-01T13:11:00.000-08:00

Well I'm still around! Our computer has been out of bussiness but thats ok cuz not much has been going on.
I am now only 4 weeks away from having our baby girl. We are all ready for her. Her nursery is done, clothes, toys, diapers, EVERYTHING! MY family threw me a baby shower last saturday and it was way way fun! Lots of people came and i got a lot of stuff for this little one.
And the best part is i am feeling pretty good! i a a lot more tired and moving around is hard, but im not uncomfortable yet and i love having her in my tummy!
Even better news...Is justin has been working out of town since May...and wow has it been hard. we thought he would still be gone after the baby got here. Thanks to his work and people who know how awesome justin is and how hard he has worked they are letting him work back in town! He will be around for me and the baby and i couldnt be happier!
SO life is great and i have absolutly no complaints! Hopefully my next post is announcing that our little lady is here!

marks of motherhood

2010-11-22T22:09:00.001-08:00

ok....so I'm freaking out about stretch marks. I have some on my sides and oh my am I embarrassed!! everyone says they will go away and that they aren't that bad. but I want to ask am I the only one who is so paranoid about them and the only one who.has ever got them?

no longer a monster

2010-11-08T20:09:00.001-08:00

This baby has turned my blog just to her but to be honest I don't have much else going on in my life. so....she is growing and moving like CRAZY! she kicks and moves alot and you can now see my belly wiggle with it. and my body sure likes to gain weight. I'm not even keeping track anymore cuz I'm so obsessive about it!
we started her nursery too so those will be up soon too.

Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.9

its actually a baby in there!

2010-10-11T21:03:00.001-07:00

well its actually looking like there is a baby and I'm not just fat! I'm a little paranoid about gaining to much weight, what if I don't lose it after! given all my sisters and mom don't look like they have had any kids. ya never know!
but on the bright side, I love being pregnant! I love knowing I have a little girl growing like crazy in my tummy! I'm now 20 weeks and so.excited to start to feel her move!
I really want to meet this little lady.

oh and even better my sister had a baby!! she had him on September 11! he came within 2 hours! Jen is meant to.have babies! he is such a sweet boy and looks just like his brothers and dad! we love him lots and love having him around. and my other sister is having a baby in about 6 weeks, so I'm loving babies!

its a....

2010-09-10T12:25:00.001-07:00

were having a baby girl!! I am so so excited. it was so cool to see how much she has changed in 8 weeks. she has fingers and kidneys and a full stomach. it was amazing!
it was weird seeing her wiggle and kick like crazy and not be able to feel it. she kept her hand up by her face and after she showed us that she is a girl, she kept crossing her legs. I am so so lucky and can't get over what a miracle this baby is and I can't wait until she gets here!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.9

What do you think?

2010-09-07T09:34:00.000-07:00

In exactly two days we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!! I seriously can't wait!! The days are kinda creeping by. But we are so close so I can be patient for a little longer!
What do you guys think it will be?

And me....I have none of those "mothers instincts" so I'm all up for others guesses!

Miracles Happen!!

2010-07-29T22:05:00.000-07:00

Well i guess that two is better than one!!

Just kidding!

But we are having a BABY!!
i am still in so much shock its amazing that i am pregnant. for the longest time i have thought that we would have a really hard time getting pregnant. given, what we had to do wasnt a walk in the park but so much better than i would have even ever imagined it could have been.
On june 24 at midnight i knew i had to take a test to see, but i was expecting it to be negative like all the other times it had been. i was expecting lots more months of clomid. when it came back positive i just started freaking out screamed out to justin then we just started bawling our eyes out!! i called my parents that late (sorry mom and dad) and they of course thought something was wrong that is was late and i was crying......but they were in just as much shock as we were.
I cant even begin to explain how grateful i am to have this baby. To be able to get pregnant with out to much hard ship. those 11 months of me complaining makes me now feel awful...because this was so worth those months of dissapointment.
I am now 9 weeks and 5 days and loving it. i am sick most of the night time and i gag and throw up over smells or basically anything but it is so worth it to me!!
So i am due Feb 27, 2011!!

not so fun

2010-06-08T20:47:00.000-07:00

So this summer is so totally going to suck.
Justin will be working all summer in Roosevelt Monday through Friday. I am So not looking forward to it. So if anyone's got any good ideas to keep me busy, I'm very open for suggestions.
Oh and also is it just me or is everyone pregnant or having a baby? I am going crazy!!! Especially 10 months of no success of getting pregnant makes it even worse. But even tho it sucks I love having babies around. And sorry no new pictures or exciting news!
Its been a bad past few weeks, but hey I updated finally!

Another little one!!

2010-05-03T11:11:00.000-07:00

I dont have pictures yet but i have ANOTHER beatiful niece!!
Heather (my sister-in-law) had Brooklee elle lyman on friday april 30 at 5:56 pm.
i think heather is a pro at having babies..she might be my hero. No epidural labor was 3 hours at most and two of her babies just popped out with no doctor even being there!!
I am so excited to have these new babies, considering that i am super baby hungry it makes it some what easier!
So congrats Heather and Kam and big brother and sister Kayler and Sydney!!

New additions!

2010-04-16T10:55:00.000-07:00

So me and justin when we moved in felt our house was to empty so we just had to get a dog!! she is a pug/chihuahua mix and she is the best dog ever!! Her name is Bean and we just love having her around. i will say tho she is one spoiled puppy! and so far she has been quite the investment. shots,food, spayed, urgent care at 1 in the morning, toys, everything but its been so worth it!!

Then even more importantly my sister jessica had her beautiful baby girl Gracie Jae on wednesday April 14. she was 7lb 4 oz and 18 1/2 inches. she is so perfect and we love having her around all ready! Emma( the big sister) loves her too, its taken her to get used to not being the only baby but i think she is warming up!!
We have 2 other babies on the way janice and jennifer. Then Justins sister is have a baby girl the end of the month so its baby central for my family!!
But im loving it!!

Guess its time....

2010-03-01T16:09:00.000-08:00

Well even tho i dont have any pictures, and that i finally have internet again i can actually post the good news.

We so bought a house!!! we just moved in last weekend and it is the best house freaking ever!!
I am so happy we did it and so glad to be moved it, and have the whole process finally over. it was a very stressful couple of months but we did it and it was so worth it.

Disneyland!!

2009-11-25T20:43:00.000-08:00

Warning!! There a lot of pictures( and i don't know how to flip the pictures!) we had so much fun in Disney! i love that place and cant hardly wait until we go back!! I was lucky enough to get off work and be able to go. it wasn't super busy but i have definitely seen less people there! there are so many more pictures (251 to be exact) but these are my favorite!

The famous Mickey Head.

I love Pluto!

I couldn't help it! Mickey is just to cute!

Goofy is certainly goofy!! do you know how to flip the pic?

I'm in Minnie's house at her office talking on the phone of course!

i think im OBSESSED!

2009-10-16T11:13:00.001-07:00

I know that the picture is little but you guessed it.....

Were going to Disneyland!!!

I know i might be a little obsessed but how can i not! disney is the funnest place on earth!

atleast for me anyways! Its been a little over a year since we went so we are due for disney!

My boss was nice enough to let me take off a couple days to go and i am so greatful!

Chopped!!

2009-09-30T13:45:00.000-07:00

Before

After

So i decided to cut my hair. I'm not sure why i just wanted to. it was a little scary but i love it! it was a lot of freaking hair on the floor! it was at least 10 inches and it was a big change! justin didnt have much to say but i think he likes it still!

the big 21!!

2009-09-18T11:49:00.001-07:00

So i finally turned 21! it really wasn't exciting at all like i thought it was going to be, no it just means i am officially an adult and it seems there are more bills to pay now that i am older!! well justin made my birthday perfect!! he baked me a cake and got me lots of great presents! he always has the best taste in clothes for me so i never have to worry about not liking what i get! and my mom got me some of that eyelash growing stuff and im so excited to use it! she has used it and hers look so good! Justin took me to the zoo and the cheesecake factory for my birthday and it was so nice to spend time with him! i dont see him as much i would like (which is all the time) so we got to spend all day together! the animals kept posing for me it was so awesome! i also chopped my hair off! it was really long and i decided to change it and i love it! i have cut it short 3 other times but i always forget how good it really looks! once i get a picture i sure will post it!

oh and by the way...they got rid of the hippos at the zoo!! i am so mad!

Idea!

My Screaming is over!!

2009-08-06T18:30:00.000-07:00

So this time it didnt take as a long for my cute husband to find a job again!! and we are officially back in the employment loop!! He found a job at a place called BCS and i have no idea what he does all day!! all i know is that its something electrical, he gets paid decent, and that he gets full paid coverage of insurance for him and half paid coverage for me! and also he loves the people that he works with!!

and also we got the cutest family pictures done!! my cd wont work so ill figure something out then i can post them!

I think i might Scream!!!!!

2009-07-31T12:15:00.000-07:00

So if you didnt know that this economy sucks...just ask me and justin because we sure do!!! So justin got laid off once again. This only happened 3 months ago the last time and this time was totally out of the blue. We both had no idea that this was coming we actually thought we were in the clearing. and to make everything else so much better we just bought a car! We can afford it for now at least. and to make it even worse...he hasnt found one single job in electrical!! so keep your eyes and ears open for us.

So Busy!!

2009-07-19T13:51:00.000-07:00

So this picture makes me laugh because my niece has a crowther shirt and i dont even have on and she isn't even a crowther! well sorta....My brother in law justin his grandmas maiden name is crowther and my last name is crowther so its a weird situation!! They show up to our family camp out with this shirt on and i had to get a picture and of course emma had to pose for it!
This picture is a little blurry cuz they wouldn't stop jumping!! We have a family camp out every year and they are so much fun! we all brought out our beds and the kids found a mattress and couldn't resist jumping on it! i love bellas outfit and her blankie! Just give a kid a mattress and they will be entertained the whole night.
Emma loves taking pictures and she always cheeses it and poses!
So my nephew Grant turned one!! He looks a lot older than one and he is so yummy cute!! He is one of the happiest babies i know and he is our miracle baby (along with cal) and he is so much fun to have around!! I didn't get a really good cake one but this one is totally how is he is all the time!

So other than that we have good news...Justin finally decided it was time to buy a new car!! so we found the perfect car on friday it was red and perfect and low miles and tinted windows and really cheap!! so saturday we went over to the dealership and drove the car around for a while and then came back to get things set up to buy it..and sure enough someone came in about 2 hours before we did and they wanted it so they got the car..i was so mad!! but they dealer was really awesome and said they have a white camry that is going to come in on monday and he will call us as soon as it gets there! he even said he would sell it to us cheaper and he would get the windows tinted for us as no extra cost because of what happened!! so i really hope i have a new car this week but im not trying to get my hopes to high!!

Temple!!

2009-06-04T16:50:00.000-07:00

On saturday me and justin went up to the temple to help his friend propose!! We set our flowers and there were a million people there!! I took some amazing pictures of the temple its so pretty!!

Malad, Maddox, And Beckhams Birthday!

2009-05-25T19:33:00.001-07:00

We went to Malad Idaho for memorial day for the day and it was actually a lot of fun!! We went to put the flowers on all the graves and we took Grandma Summers with us to go see Justin's grandpa who he never met, grandpa crowther. Justins dad grew up in idaho and they owned a flour mill and they also have Crowther reservoir up there and its really cool to see a place name after such a great family!!

This is justin and his so cute Grandma! We love spending time with her she is so funny and she loves justin more than anything!! My favorite saying of her is SUGAR TICS!!!

This us all of us at Maddox the best food place ever!! its up in Brigham City and the food is absolutley amazing!! I was so full when i left and that was the only meal of the day!! I looks so short compared to everyone else!! Justin is bending down so i didnt look so short!!!

This is my cute little Beckham on his first Birthday! He was the first kid of Jens to actually dig into the cake!! he is so cute and Always Smiling!! it was also my Calins birthday he is now 4 and he has the cute attitude to show it!! He is such a good little boy and i am so glad to have him!! well i actually have 8 nieces and nephews and they are all the greatest little kids ever!! i love having them in my life! it makes it so much fun!

And these are my crazy sisters!!! Me and janice are the normal ones!! lol i love jess and jenn in this one!! Me and my sisters always have so much fun together!! i still sometimes feel like were little kids playing just not fighting anymore!!

WTF!!???!!!!

2009-04-22T13:40:00.001-07:00

So i was at work yesterday and were just waiting to go home when i noticed this outside the window at work. bet you cant guess what it is?? well yeah its a BABY!!! laying on a piece of cardboard from a dirty dumpster. Where i work there are a lot of pediatricians. So we see kids going in and out all day. So this lady i guess locked her self out of her car and went inside to get some help. Since a month old baby is so heavy she got a piece of cardboard out of the dumpster ( its to the right of the baby) and laid this tiny baby on it. i dont even know if it was even a month old. And then she covered him with a blanket. what the best part is is she was with someone else and apparently its to hard to hold two babies at once when they were both not very big. I was in shock so i just had to take a picture of it!

On the good side..i got a calling at church. i am going to be in the nursery!!! I am actually really excited about it!! the nice thing is that I go to nursery for 3 weeks straight then i take a break for 3 weeks and go about normal church!! Justin is hoping that handling a bunch of crying little kids for 2 hours every sunday will get rid of me wanting a baby sooner than a lot later!

Good News!!!

2009-04-04T12:45:00.000-07:00

So its been about 3 weeks and Justin has a job!! we just found out on friday that he got a new job!! i am so relieved that he found one and the pressure of finding one is off of him. He has been bored form staying at home all day!!! so he is starting monday and im so excited!

Well bad news....

2009-03-14T13:55:00.001-07:00

So on Friday the 13th, what a perfect day....Justin got the bad news that he got layed off from his job. So were job hunting now. This is going to be really hard especially how this economy is so everyone please pray for us!!

Thank goodness that i still have my job and that we have lots of savings, but i don't think that really makes all of this any easier. I want to say thanks to all of my family for all the support they have given us (even tho its only been a day) they have all made it a lot easier.

So ill keep you updated on how the job searching goes.

Best Anniversary Ever!

2009-03-12T10:15:00.000-07:00

So Justin made our anniversary the best one i think that i could ever ask for!! So on Friday he came home with flowers then we went to PF Changs for dinner! our favorite place to eat. Then while at dinner he gave me the best present ever! He got me Pearl earrings and a necklace! the necklace also had little diamonds on it to and i love it! Thank you justin and Sierra West. Well first of all i thought i left my camera at home so i didnt have any pictures. and right before we left on sunday, Justin of course found my camera in my purse i had it the whole time!!

So the next day we went up and stayed at the anniversary inn up in logan and went and ate dinner at Maddox. that was pretty much the best food ever!! it was amazing and the service was good and right next door you can see where you food comes from! they have a cow farm right behind.

So we stayed in the Vegas nights room and it was so cool!! It had a huge round bed with slot machine lamps, and it had its own poker table and a machine that you could play all the games that you wanted. i walk in and there were rose petals all over the floor, candles, and a box of chocolates and a rose on the bed! Then we got a knock at the door, he got massages for us to come right to our room!! It was the best weekend we have had in a really long time and it was so much fun! justin always has the best surprises and makes everything so special!

Well my pictures wont post, so ill have to do all of the fun ones later!

Happy one year Anniversary!

2009-03-06T14:48:00.001-08:00

So my favorite wouldn't upload but any wedding picture is fun!! So at this time last year Justin and i were on our way to our honeymoon!! We got married on March 6, 2008!! It was the best day of my life ever!! it was the best decision that i ever made! I am so excited to spend the rest of my life and eternity with Justin!! He is my everything and makes my life so fun and crazy and everything that a perfect life could have! This weekend were going up to eat at Maddox in Brigham city then go stay at the Anniversary inn up in Logan! i am so excited. this will be the longest we have spent with each other since probably new years so its about time!

So the day we got married was also my brother in law Justins birthday! he was a good sport to spend his birthday at my wedding and i think he was glad it wasn't all day! So every year Justin, Justin and me all look forward to the 6th of march! its a good day!

So Happy Birthday Juts and Happy Anniversary Justin and me (justin never looks at this so i guess its just to me on here!!!)

Happy Birthday Justin!

2009-02-18T13:26:00.001-08:00

Happy Birthday to my sexy husband! Justin turned 23 today and he thinks that he is old!! since he is 23 i have 23 reasons why i love him so much!!!

He is so hot!!
He is the hardest worker! he works almost 60 hours a week and goes to school! and still has time to be a great husband and student!
He has the best smile! his teeth are the first thing that i noticed!!
He comes home from a long day and asks what he can do for me.
He is a great movtivator! he helps me go to the gym and pray and read scriptures!
He is probably one of the happiest people that you will ever meet!
He hates birthday's because he doesn't like the world revolving around him!
He at least tries to cook!! but he gets to frusturated with it!
He hates Tv! i don't think he watches more than 10 minutes a week.
He always makes me laugh!
He puts up with my moods..
He loves family time and all the kids.
He spoils me rotten.
Even though he drives a 9 year old car he loves it and doesn't want to ever buy a new one!
He likes waking up early. and he wakes up at 330 every morning.
He calculates everything out all the time! like budgets and how many years will it take....everything!
He eats ALOT!!!! i never have to worry about my plate being empty because he will always finish it!
He is so smart, and he loves learning.
He thinks everything is so cool!! he always finds new things to look up
He always says the wrong thing at the wrong time and its so funny!
I don't think that i have ever seen him mad.
He made my nick name "cute"
He loves full house like i do!

so now you all can see how absolutly amazing justin is! i am so glad that i married him and couldn't ever imagine life without him. He is my light every day and i love him more than anything in the world! So happy birthday justin!!!

its been a while!

2009-02-16T09:50:00.000-08:00

So this was over new years but i was a a little late posting it!! we went to vegas and st. george over new years and it was a lot of fun!! it was a last minute thing and we left the same day and we decided to go! (this is when i love not having kids!!!) so we just kinda hung out loving not working and school. we are ready for another vacation any day!! we never see each other ever!! but i guess thats married life!!

So it was our first valentines married and it was so fun! Justin had to work until 3 but we made the best out of what we could! he surprised me by making me an appointment for a facial and a pedicure in the morning!! and then he came home with a shirt and pants for me! and some chocolates! i didn't get him much since he got his birthday present early! (ipod) but i made him a heart shaped cake like last year and i got him some books! but what's weird is he loves getting books!! so we had a fun time stayed at home and finally got to spend more than an hour with each other!

So on wednesday is Justin's birthday too! the big 23!! and we have our one year anniversary coming up but those are a whole other post!

i love this place!!

2009-01-23T12:10:00.001-08:00

So when we moved in i found a remote that i had no idea to what it went to. it has a light bulb on a button and high low and off buttons too. so i found out i have a remote for my light and fan in my bedroom!!! so when im laying in bed and dont want to get up, i just push the button and im good to go! its almost better than clap on lights! Life is good!!!!

All Moved in!!

2009-01-19T14:21:00.000-08:00

I just want to say thank you to everyone for helping us move!!!

Im so nervous that we wont find something that works for us, perfect location and right price!! its so stressful!!! and its right when it will be all snowy and cold and we will both be in school.. and packing but thats not my biggest concern is packing its finding a place!! so im looking like 3 times a day to see if anything opens up!! cross your fingers for us!

The second picture is of course the famous disney picture! they changed it a little. right above mickeys head is tinkerbell and she blows magic dust on mickey and he lights up! its pretty cool how they changed it but its still the same!

The third is my hot husband in front of the princess castle!! its so cool at night time will all of the fireworks!! it was to crowded there which was awesome!!

The last one is the pumpkin mickey!! (its right before main street) it was huge!! and each side had a different face expression!

Disney always goes all out! christmas and halloween are my favorite holidays and disney makes its so fun with how they decorate! it makes the holiday really seem to come to real life. im already to go back!

Happy Halloween!!!

2008-11-07T13:23:00.000-08:00

So every Halloween we have family party and the kids go trick-or-treating and we eat yummy clam chowder!!

We all had so much fun!!! and Beckham was a cowboy with the chaps and everything! hunter was this for his first halloween and it is the cutest costume ever!! hunter and beckham looked the same in their costumes!
The two girls dressed up as butterflies too!! they were so freaking cute with their wings and their purple make up!! emma wasnt so sure what to think about her puffy costume but bella sure loved it!

Were Back!!!

2008-10-13T15:27:00.000-07:00

SO were back from Disney! and man oh man we had so much stinking fun! i almost didnt want to come back home!! we did so much and were so tired at the end of the trip. it was so fun seeing Justin's face when he saw all the fun things that i always love, and him on the rides!! he is scared of the big rides and i made him promise that he had to go on all of them if we went and he did!!!! he was laughing and screaming the whole time it was hilarious!! ill post pictures later when i get them uploaded!!!

Conference!!

2008-10-04T20:11:00.000-07:00

So this was my first time going to General Conference and wow it was so amazing!! It was something that i almost cant describe. like the feeling when you get when the presidency talks and all of the people singing together. You think that in sacrament is loud during songs but this is just amazing to be there. Im lucky to live so close to especially how its broadcasted all over the world. The session that we went to instead of having the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing they had primary children there singing and it was so cute. i dont know if i have ever seen over a 100 7 or 8 year olds sitting so still and quiet. you know there is a spirit there for these little kids to be so well behaved. i think the funniest part about it is that there are a lot of protestors there and pretty much everyone ignores them. This one guy was dressed as a devil and had a Book of Mormon in his hands and kept screaming " Thanks for coming!!!" He also had all of his kids with him tagging along. It was hysterical seeing these people. so pretty much i want to go every General Conference that they have!! i loved it!

Disneyland here we come!!

2008-09-25T19:53:00.000-07:00

so i know we dont leave for like another week and a half but i am just so so excited!! i think that disneyland is my all time favorite vacation!!!!! ya know i love the beach and all of that but disneyland you cant beat that! im excited to finally go with my husband!! i love going on vacation with him but it will be even better now cuz its disneyland!!

I love My Husband!!!!!

2008-09-21T18:47:00.001-07:00

Okay i know that this picture is awful. but i finally got my eyeliner tattooed!! i love it! i dont know why women do this to themselves because holy crap it hurt!!! you have to go over each line like 8 times and each time hurts. to make it worse i took a pain pill, and of course being myself i didnt take it with food and so i got so sick. so lets say friday night was not the best night. swollen eyes and nausea dont go to well together. i would do it again tho. it will be so worth it!
So my husband is the greatest! i have been really stressed lately becasue of having no time to do anything. with school, homework, work, and keeping up being a wife and cleaning i have been a little off. so i got home from school and on the stair steps there was rose petals and then inside was dinner and a dozen roses with candles. he said he couldnt find any sparking cider so he got mt. dew instead!!! he is so cute! it made me so happy that was like the biggest relief of the night. he always makes me feel so much better and always takes stress of my shoulders!!

Happy Birthday!

2008-09-15T16:06:00.001-07:00

So it was my birthday and i turned 20! My family's new kind of tradition is to have a party theme. so my party's theme was a hawiian theme. like aloha, ya know. and my whole family went all out. we all had swimsuits over our shirts and leis and i had a grass skirt. my favorite was what my dad did. He put make up on to look like he had a suntan around his eyes. it was so funny. Me and justin both thought it was real. i must have rubbed on the poor guy!!
My parents didnt have any candles so i had to pretend! ya thats my funny crazy family! and my dad had to hold my hair back so it wouldnt get "burned". he is so silly!!

No Time!! So Much To Do!

2008-09-09T15:32:00.000-07:00

so i havent posted anything for a while because i have no time to do it! Im working full time and going to school and so is justin. So when im home, i kinda want to spend time with my hottie husband! I know that going to school is so good for us, but man its a lot of work. and we still have a while to go until we reach what we want to, we will eventually get there tho. oh and justin and i have been married for 6 months! and i love being married. he is the best thing that ever happened to me and i dont know what i would do without him. he is such a great support and a great husband overall. he does laundry and dishes and makes the bed everyday, and helps me clean up. i thought men were lazy but nope justing proved me wrong. i just wanted to say how much i love justin and how i am so happy that i am married to him!

oh and its almost my birthday on the 14th and im almost 20! im getting so old but im so excited for birthdays cuz justin and my family always makes them so fun !!!

Bridal Veil Falls Again!!!!!

2008-07-20T18:45:00.000-07:00

The boys were being silly of course and had to hang off a tree. we wanted to take lots of pictures to make sure that we had a good one so we kinda made them suffer if they wanted to be that crazy!
Tonia, Ammon, Justin and I went up to bridal veil falls for a picnic and just to go play! it was a lot of fun going out there. of course the girls got camera happy and found any picture moment that we could and took pictures of everything. it was super hot but im so glad that we all went.
I love this picture! its one of my favorites that we got! when we got our engagement pictures taken we got one like this but in the snow so now we just need one for spring and fall!!!
Here is all of us! i had to reach out to take the picture because no one was nice enough to take one of all of us. It actually turned out pretty good!

the zoo, memorial day, summerfest... so much has happened!

2008-06-17T13:00:00.000-07:00

its been a long time since i posted anything so ill post some pictures of everything that we have done over the past month. first it was memorial day and we went up to Malad Idaho ( thats where justins dad grew up) we drove up there and it was so cool to see all the Crowther things up there. there is their own lake and flour mill, and street. it was fun to go up there even though there is nothing there.

We also went up on a walk up bridal veil falls. i think the day that we went up there was the first really nice day of the year. it was so fun going up there with my fun husband and it was nice to go out and be together. the water was still so so so cold.

then we all went up to the zoo. except for jennifer, we took her kids cuz she just had her cute little boy and it was so fun having the kids see all the animals and ride the fun train.

then it was time for the SummerFest in orem. they have the carnival and the parade. we had my nephew hunter and he got to ride the rides and have a sleep over. we had so much fun.

Grandpa Summers passed away on tuesday doing what he loved. he was gardening and nothing could stop him from making his yard look beautiful all the time. He was the most amazing, happy, big hearted man that i have ever met! he loved everyone and he let you know how much he loved you. the first time i met him i fell in love with him you could tell he loved being alive and loved being around his family. justin was really close with grandpa so its been really hard for him. all we can talk about is how much we will miss him but all of the happy thoughts that we had of grandpa. one of our favorite things about grandpa is you would tell him something that you did and he would smile and say "did you really?" that was the cutest thing with his squeaky voice. Grandma is doing better thann i thought but she has people left and right helping her out. you can see in her eyes that she is sad but she knows that grandpa is now not sick and can walk normal again. we will all miss him but we are all so glad that we could get to know grandpa and are grateful for the times that we got to be with him.
oh and some of the neighbors who loved grandpa just as much as we did, are trying to get the street that Grandma and grandpa live on named summers street!!!

Its always better when we're together!

Justin and i have been together officially for a year on april 2nd. its been the best year of my life!!! of course it had the ups and downs but couldnt have asked for a better person to be with. We have also been married a whole month!! that time went by SOOO fast! (march 6th) i love being married. a month really isnt that long but the time went by so fast and the time was so much fun! he is the most amazing husband and the greatest person to be around. he makes me laugh every second of the day! he even does the dishes, does the laundry and helps me clean!!! i couldnt ask for anything better!!!

Easter Sunday

2008-03-29T16:02:00.000-07:00

We had two easters this year. it was so much fun. at Justin's parents we got to decorate sugar cookies. we decorated like a million cookies. justin just did his to eat them though. we also did an easter egg hunt and went to go bring the cookies over to grandma and grandma summers house. it was really nice to see them and they loved us being there for them on easter. the next day we went to the wheatley house with all the grandkids and did another easter egg hunt. they loved it so much. finding bubbles, fruit snacks, everything else. my mom made it really fun for the kids. she loves her grandkids and its always fun when we have a family "party" thing. its confusing on whos house to go to and when. its fun though to have two families who love having us over.

I love it!!!

Being married is so much fun!!! its such a big change though. Having to cook your own dinner, clean your own house, make sure the laundry is done, and make sure you have enough food for the week. its a lot of work but i wouldnt have it anyother way.
Justin decided what he wants to do with his career. He wants to be something in medical, he is close to his bachlors and then he is sure that he wants to go to medical school. Its a little scary to think about, but as long as he is living his dream and that this is what he really wants to do then he should go for it all the way. atleast he is deciding now what he wants to do and not five years from now. thats a big plus for us!

i'm so excited for easter!! we get to be with our families and have an easter egg hunt with all the kids. its pretty much our first holiday as a married couple so it will be fun. its really confusing though which family is doing what and where your going to go for dinner. we always work it out so it will be fun anyways.

Happily Married

2008-03-11T11:17:00.000-07:00

We are finally married!!! the time went by so fast!! now it came and is now over with. The day went so perfect. We got married at 11:30 and our day ended at 3:00. That time flew by!! It was so nice having everyone there and everyone that helped out. We went to St.George on our honeymoon. The weather was so nice and was perfect for a weekend get away. Justins parents got us a gift package with a bunch of treats in our room and it turned out so perfect. Now getting home is crazy. Getting things unpacked, cleaned up our place is such a mess. The weirdest part is having to cook dinner. I have never really had to, so now its a little different. We might just have to have pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches for a while until i get the hang of it. Its a little weird not being at my "house" with my parents, it will take a little adjusting. Its so nice now though. I dont have to say goodbye after we have class then drive 20 minutes to get home. i dont think we were ever able to make it to bed before 10:30 now we are in bed by about 9:00! sleep is so nice!!!
i dont have any wedding pictures yet but they are comming and they are so cute!!

It's Almost Here!!!

Today we only have 18 days left until we are married! i cant even beleive how fast it has gone by. after all the stress of planning it, its about to pay off. i have never been so excited to be with someone forever. what the best part is, we both have great families that are suppoting us all the way. they have been such a great help to us. yesterday we had the wedding shower, leave it up to jessica to try to embarass me and come up with a crazy game. by the end of the game i had about 12 pieces of bubble gum in my mouth!! it was so much fun friends and family came and i got so much stuff that i needed.
that night we went up to benehannas for justins 22nd birthday with his family. it was so much fun! those people who cook are amazing. they make a beating heart out of a big pile of rice, and a onion volcano that has lava (soy sauce) comming out of it. of course we had to embarass him by singing happy birthday and a candle on ice cream. that day was so much fun!!!
